Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspended feeding technology, specifically to an intelligent suspended feeding vehicle for food. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing industry, traditional material feeding equipment lacks mobility and positioning accuracy, and often adopts fixed tracks or manual handling. Fixed track equipment is difficult to adapt to the dynamic material feeding needs of multiple workstations, while manual handling has problems of low efficiency and large positioning errors, and cannot meet the needs of rapid production line switching.
[0003] Ordinary storage containers lack stirring devices, and materials that are prone to caking, such as pepper powder and starch, are easily blocked during storage, resulting in poor material discharge. On average, the machine needs to be stopped 2-3 times per hour for cleaning. Moreover, the discharge port is mostly a fixed structure, which makes it impossible to accurately control the discharge volume, resulting in 15%-20% material waste and seriously restricting the improvement of production efficiency.

The outer side wall of the roller assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the load-bearing rail 1. The top of the suspension component 4 is movably connected to the outer axis of the roller assembly 32. The output end of the rotary motor 31 is rotatably connected to the front axis of the roller assembly 32. After the rotary motor 31 is started, the output shaft drives the front axis of the roller assembly 32 to rotate. The outer side wall of the roller assembly 32 rolls on the inner side wall of the load-bearing rail 1, forming driving power. The transmission component 3 drives the suspension component 4 and the entire vehicle body to move laterally along the rail through the cooperation of the roller assembly 32 and the load-bearing rail 1.
[0025] The suspension assembly 4 includes a suspension bracket 41 and a connecting frame 42. The top end of the connecting frame 42 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom end of the suspension bracket 41. The top end of the suspension bracket 41 is located at the outer end axis of the transmission assembly 3. The bottom end of the connecting frame 42 is fixedly connected to the top side of the container assembly 5. The connecting frame 42 rigidly connects the suspension bracket 41 and the container assembly 5, so that the container assembly 5 moves synchronously when the vehicle body moves.
[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the holding assembly 5 includes a holding box 51, a box cover 52, a funnel container 53, and a filter hole 54. The feeding assembly 7 is located on the top side of the box cover 52, the upper end of the unloading assembly 6 is located on the top side of the box cover 52, and the lower end of the unloading assembly 6 extends to the bottom of the inner part of the holding box 51.

After the second rotary motor 61 is started, it drives the movable shaft 62 to rotate the stirring paddle 63. The stirring paddle 63 has a spiral ribbon design and fits against the inner wall of the holding box 51, stirring the material from the bottom up and pushing it downward at the same time, so as to prevent the material from sticking to the wall or clumping at the funnel container 53.

[0029] Working principle: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the drive system operates as follows: After the rotary motor 31 starts, the output shaft drives the front axis of the roller assembly 32 to rotate. The outer wall of the roller assembly 32 rolls on the inner wall of the load-bearing rail 1, generating driving power. The transmission component 3, through the cooperation of the roller assembly 32 and the load-bearing rail 1, drives the suspension component 4 and the entire vehicle body to move laterally along the rail.

[0032] Storage structure design: The funnel container 53 inside the material holding box 51 is conical, which guides the material to the bottom and avoids accumulation; the filter hole 54 can facilitate the even distribution of seasonings;
[0033] Anti-caking stirring mechanism: After the rotary motor 61 is started, it drives the movable shaft 62 to rotate the stirring paddle 63; the stirring paddle 63 has a spiral design and fits against the inner wall of the material container 51, stirring the material from the bottom up and pushing it downward at the same time, to prevent the material from sticking to the wall or clumping at the funnel container 53; for materials that are prone to absorbing moisture, the stirring frequency of the stirring paddle 63 can be adjusted by the control panel 9 to ensure the flowability of the material;
[0034] Precise unloading execution: When unloading is required, the regulating valve 64 slides upward under the drive of the movable shaft 62, opening the filter hole 54 channel; the material falls into the packaging machine hopper below through the filter hole 54; the opening degree of the regulating valve 64 is controlled by the rotation angle of the rotary motor 61, which can realize quantitative material distribution; during the unloading process, the stirring paddle 63 rotates continuously to ensure that the material falls evenly and avoids material blockage; after unloading is completed, the regulating valve 64 resets and seals the filter hole 54 to prevent material leakage.
