Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting technology, and more specifically, to a feeding gate assembly and a slicer having the same assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of slicing machines, the loading gate assembly is an important component of the equipment. Depending on the design of the cutting chamber, the loading gate assembly can be designed for different functions, such as providing a channel for loading and unloading materials into the cutting chamber or providing an observation channel for operators to observe the working status inside the cutting chamber.

[0003] Traditional loading gate assemblies raise the gate panel vertically when opened, causing its highest point to exceed the upper plane of the frame. Because the raised gate panel occupies too much space in the upper part of the frame, it interferes with the stand-alone automated operation of the slicer and hinders the normal operation of the automated loading and unloading system of the slicer.

[0010] Furthermore, the first guide assembly includes: a guide plate located on one side of the loading and unloading ports, the extension direction of the guide plate being the same as the movement direction of the movable door, and the end of the guide plate away from the loading and unloading ports being fixed to the frame; and a protrusion located at the bottom of the movable door, the protrusion being below the guide plate and abutting against the bottom of the guide plate, the protrusion moving along the guide plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the loading gate assembly also includes a fixed door. The end of the fixed door away from the loading and unloading ports is fixedly connected to the frame. The fixed door and the movable door are correspondingly arranged. Along the moving direction of the movable door, a movable channel is formed between the fixed door and the guide plate. The movable door moves within the movable channel. When the movable door is in the open state, at least part of the movable door moves outside the movable channel. When the movable door is in the closed state, at least part of the movable door is located within the movable channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed door is located inside the movable door, and the guide plate is located outside the movable door.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a feeding gate assembly, which includes a frame 10, a movable door 20, and a drive assembly 30. The frame 10 has a cutting chamber inside, where a slicer is located. Specifically, the slicer in this application is a photovoltaic slicer; however, in other embodiments, the specific type of slicer is not limited. The frame 10 has loading and unloading ports 101, which communicate with the cutting chamber and provide loading and unloading channels for the cutting chamber. The movable door 20 has an open state and a closed state. When the cutting chamber needs to be loaded for cutting, the movable door 20 is in the open state, opening the loading and unloading ports 101. At this time, the automated equipment outside the cutting chamber transfers the material to be cut into the cutting chamber through the loading and unloading ports 101 for the slicer to process. After loading is completed, the movable door 20 switches to the closed state, blocking the loading and unloading ports 101, and the slicer performs cutting processing. This prevents moisture or impurities inside the cutting chamber from overflowing from the loading and unloading ports 101 and causing pollution to the outside. After the slicer finishes processing, the movable door 20 is switched to the open state. At this time, the automated equipment outside the cutting room transfers the processed material inside the cutting room to the outside of the cutting room through the loading and unloading port 101, and then transfers the new material to be processed into the cutting room.

[0037] In this embodiment, the loading door assembly provides loading and unloading channels for the cutting chamber, the automated equipment outside the cutting chamber is a robotic arm, and the material is silicon rods. In other embodiments, depending on the design of the cutting chamber, the loading door assembly can also be used as an observation door assembly, with the loading / unloading port 101 serving as an observation port for workers to observe the cutting process inside the cutting chamber. When the movable door 20 is open, it opens the loading / unloading port 101, allowing workers outside the cutting chamber to observe the interior. When the movable door 20 is closed, it blocks the loading / unloading port 101. The automated equipment outside the cutting chamber can be other mechanical devices capable of moving items. The material can be any other product requiring slicing.

[0038] Specifically, the movable door 20 is movably disposed along a vertical plane at the loading / unloading port 101, and the vertical plane along which the movable door 20 is disposed is the plane of the loading / unloading port 101. The moving direction of the movable door 20 has an angle relative to the horizontal plane, and the angle does not include the special angles of 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°. The drive assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 10, specifically on the casting of the frame 10, that is, on the mounting surface of the frame 10 that can be assembled with external components. The drive assembly 30 is driven to connect with the movable door 20 to switch the movable door 20 between the open and closed states. By setting the drive assembly 30, the convenience of driving the movable door 20 can be improved, labor costs can be saved, and the accuracy and timeliness of opening and closing the movable door 20 can also be increased.

[0039] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the movable door 20 is movably disposed at the loading / unloading port 101 along a vertical plane. The moving direction of the movable door 20 forms an angle with respect to the horizontal plane, allowing the movable door 20 to move obliquely relative to the loading / unloading port 101. Compared to the vertical movement of the loading door assembly in the prior art, the arrangement of this application reduces the vertical space required for opening the door. Even with a small vertical lifting distance, the opening and closing of the movable door 20 can still be achieved, improving the applicability of the loading door assembly. Simultaneously, the above arrangement not only avoids interference with the automated equipment of the slicing machine, reserving space for subsequent automated production line control and meeting the space requirements for automated loading and unloading of the slicing machine, but also ensures the smooth operation of the cutting production process. Furthermore, it allows for the selection of a drive assembly 30 with a smaller drive stroke, saving production costs.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the loading gate assembly also includes a fixed door 40. The end of the fixed door 40 away from the loading / unloading port 101 is fixedly connected to the frame 10. The fixed door 40 is correspondingly set with the movable door 20. In some embodiments, the size of the loading / unloading port 101 is suitable, and the fixed door 40 may not be provided.

[0041] Furthermore, there are two movable doors 20 and two fixed doors 40. The two fixed doors 40 are arranged one-to-one with the two movable doors 20. The two fixed doors 40 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the frame 10 along the width direction of the loading and unloading ports 101. The two movable doors 20 are arranged sequentially between the two fixed doors 40 along the width direction of the loading and unloading ports 101. The two movable doors 20 cooperate to open or block the loading and unloading ports 101. The above arrangement, by opening or closing the two movable doors 20 relative to each other, can further reduce the horizontal and vertical space required by the movable doors 20 when they are closed.

[0042] In this design, the X and Y axes are horizontal, forming a horizontal plane, while the Z axis is vertical. The width of the feed inlet / outlet 101 extends horizontally, in the same direction as the X-axis. The height of the feed inlet / outlet 101 extends vertically, in the same direction as the Z-axis. The depth of the feed inlet / outlet 101 extends horizontally, in the same direction as the Y-axis.

[0043] The drive assembly 30 can drive the two movable doors 20 to switch to the same state simultaneously. When both movable doors 20 are switched to the open state, the drive assembly 30 drives the two movable doors 20 to move towards the direction of their corresponding fixed door 40, so as to cooperate in opening the loading and unloading port 101. When the two movable doors 20 are switched to the closed state, the drive assembly 30 drives the two movable doors 20 to move away from the direction of their corresponding fixed door 40, so as to cooperate in blocking the loading and unloading port 101.

[0044] In this application, the direction of movement of the movable door 20 is not limited; it can tilt upwards or downwards along the horizontal direction, as long as it can open or close the loading / unloading port 101. In a preferred embodiment, the directions of movement of the two movable doors 20 are symmetrical about each other along the vertical centerline of the loading / unloading port 101.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the loading gate assembly also includes a water collection tray 70, which is mounted on the frame 10 and located below the movable door 20. The water collection tray 70 collects water droplets that fall from the side wall of the movable door 20 facing the cutting chamber. The water collection tray 70 is connected to the loading and unloading ports 101. The projection of the movable door 20 along the height direction of the loading and unloading ports 101 is within the projection of the water collection tray 70 along the height direction of the loading and unloading ports 101. This ensures that the water droplets that fall from the side wall of the movable door 20 facing the cutting chamber can fall directly into the water collection tray 70.

[0046] Preferably, the moving direction of the movable door 20 is the same as the extending direction of the end of the water receiving tray 70, and the structural contour of the bottom of the movable door 20 matches the structural contour of the side of the water receiving tray 70 facing the movable door 20. This avoids interference between the movable door 20 and the water receiving tray 70 during movement, ensuring smooth switching between different states of the movable door 20. It also further reduces the space occupied by the water receiving tray 70 and the movable door 20.

[0047] In this embodiment, the middle of the water receiving tray 70 is concave relative to its two ends, and the two ends tilt upwards from the middle. Thus, when water droplets fall into the two ends of the water receiving tray 70, the droplets can automatically flow to the middle of the water receiving tray 70 due to gravity, converging and eventually returning to the interior of the cutting chamber. The bottom contours of the movable door 20 and the fixed door 40 are adapted to the ends of the water receiving tray 70.

[0048] Preferably, the height of the loading door assembly does not exceed the height of the frame 10 when the movable door 20 is in the open or closed state. Existing structures protrude significantly beyond the frame structure during transportation. In transportation methods with space constraints, they need to be disassembled for transport and reinstalled after landing, resulting in additional time and labor costs. The design described in this application reduces the overall height of the assembly, eliminating the need for disassembly and reassembly during transportation, thus reducing the disassembly, reassembly, and repositioning costs of the loading door assembly.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 30 includes a drive component 31, a transmission assembly 32, and a first guide assembly 33. The drive component 31 is mounted on the frame 10. One end of the transmission assembly 32 is drivenly connected to the drive end of the drive component 31, and the other end of the transmission assembly 32 is drivenly connected to the movable door 20. The first guide assembly 33 is positioned between the frame 10 and the movable door 20, and is used to guide the movement direction of the movable door 20. Through the cooperation of these components, the movement of the movable door 20 and the switching of different states are achieved, improving the flexibility of the component placement. This allows the loading door assembly to adjust the different installation positions of each component according to the size of the assembly space and the limitations of the installation angle, thus improving the installation flexibility and adaptability of the loading door assembly.

[0050] The location and type of the driving component 31, transmission assembly 32, and first guide assembly 33 are not limited, as long as the moving direction of the movable door 20 can ultimately achieve an angle with the horizontal plane. Optionally, the driving component 31 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or motor, etc.; the transmission assembly 32 can be a combination of steel wire and pulleys, bearings, lead screws, sprockets, or belts, etc., to change the installation position of each component by changing the direction of force transmission; the first guide assembly 33 can be a slide rail or guide groove, etc.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drive component 31, transmission assembly 32, and first guide assembly 33 are arranged sequentially along a vertical plane, with the drive component 31 and transmission assembly 32 located at the top of the movable door 20, and the first guide assembly 33 located at the bottom of the movable door 20. The drive component 31 being located at the top of the movable door 20 makes the drive more stable and avoids the possibility of the movable door tipping over during operation if it were located at the bottom. Simultaneously, this arrangement makes the distribution of the drive assembly 30 more reasonable and compact, requiring less installation space and making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a crossbeam 321 and a rotating assembly 323. The crossbeam 321 is located below the drive member 31, and the drive member 31 is driven to the crossbeam 321. The side of the crossbeam 321 away from the drive member 31 has a slot 322 extending along the width direction of the loading / unloading port 101. The slot 322 provides a precise guide path for the rotating assembly 323, ensuring the linear movement and smoothness of the movable door 20 during opening and closing, effectively preventing deviations and wobbling during movement, and enhancing the reliability and service life of the door assembly. The drive member 31 can drive the crossbeam 321 to move along the height direction of the loading / unloading port 101. The rotating assembly 323 is rotatably disposed within the slot 322 along the extension direction of the slot 322. The rotating assembly 323 is driven to the movable door 20 and can drive the movable door 20 to move along the extension direction of the slot 322. By rotating the component 323 in the slot, the power of the drive component 31 in the vertical direction can be converted into the horizontal movement of the movable door 20, making the transmission process more efficient. It can also reduce the coefficient of friction between the rotating component 323 and the crossbeam 321, reduce wear, make the drive component 31 easier to drive, reduce energy consumption, and thus reduce the need for maintenance and lubrication. At the same time, it can also reduce the noise when the movable door 20 moves.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a rotating member 3231 and a drive shaft 3232. The rotating member 3231 is rotatably disposed within the slot 322 along its extension direction. The drive shaft 3232 extends perpendicular to the slot 322, with one end rotatably connected to the rotating member 3231 and the other end connected to the movable door 20, allowing the movable door 20 to move along the slot 322. The drive shaft 3232's extension perpendicular to the slot 322 not only provides stable support for the movement of the movable door 20 but also increases the rigidity of the entire door assembly, reduces structural deformation caused by external forces or long-term use, and improves the lifespan and reliability of the door assembly. The cooperation between the rotating member 3231 and the drive shaft 3232 makes the movement of the movable door 20 smoother and reduces the power loss of the drive member 31.

[0054] Optionally, the drive shaft 3232 extends in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the slot 322, that is, the drive shaft 3232 can extend along the Y-axis or the Z-axis. When the drive shaft 3232 extends along the Y-axis, the rotating member 3231 rolls along the bottom of the slot 322 with the rolling axis in the horizontal direction; when the drive shaft 3232 extends along the Z-axis, the rotating member 3231 rolls along the side wall of the slot 322 with the rolling axis in the vertical direction.

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating component 3231 is a bearing, which has an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring is fitted outside the inner ring and can rotate relative to the inner ring. The outer ring is rotatably disposed within the slot 322 along the extension direction of the slot 322. The rotation axis of the bearing is parallel to the depth direction of the upper and lower feed ports 101. The transmission shaft 3232 is a pin, which passes through the inner ring of the rotating component 3231 along the axial direction of the rotating component 3231 and is interference-fitted with the inner ring. The end of the pin passes through the top of the movable door 20 and engages with it. Shims 3234 are respectively provided between the bearing and the movable door 20, and between the end of the movable door 20 and the pin engaging, to adjust the gap between the components, reduce the shaking of the movable door 20 when it moves, and at the same time, the shims 3234 can also increase the contact area between the components and reduce stress concentration. The first guide component 33 guides the movement direction of the movable door 20, so the movable door 20 will not rotate, but will only tilt and translate along the predetermined movement direction. The right end of the drive shaft 3232 is fixed with a cotter pin 3233 to maintain the relative position of the drive shaft and the rotating part 3231, so as to prevent the drive shaft 3232 from sliding out of the inner ring of the rotating part 3231.

[0056] In other embodiments, the rotating member 3231 is an adapter sleeve, which is rotatably disposed in the slot 322 along the extension direction of the slot 322. The adapter sleeve has a rotating shaft inside, which can rotate relative to the adapter sleeve. The rotating shaft is connected to the movable door 20 by fasteners.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the first guide assembly 33 includes a guide plate 331 and a protrusion 332. The guide plate 331 is located on one side of the loading / unloading port 101, and its extension direction is the same as the moving direction of the movable door 20. The end of the guide plate 331 away from the loading / unloading port 101 is fixed to the frame 10. The protrusion 332 is located at the bottom of the movable door 20, below the guide plate 331, and abuts against the bottom of the guide plate 331. The protrusion 332 moves along the guide plate 331. The configuration of the guide plate 331 provides a precise guiding path for the movement of the movable door 20, ensuring linear movement of the movable door 20 during opening and closing, reducing the shaking and deviation of the movable door 20, and improving the operating efficiency and stability of the entire loading door assembly.

[0058] Specifically, the end of the guide plate 331 has a through hole 3311, which is fastened to the frame 10 by fasteners.

[0059] In this embodiment, the through hole 3311 is an oblong hole, so that the position of the guide plate 331 can be finely adjusted during installation to compensate for the dimensional deviations caused by welding or processing of the guide plate 331, the protrusion 332 or the movable door 20.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, along the moving direction of the movable door 20, a movable channel 403 is formed between the fixed door 40 and the guide plate 331. The movable door 20 moves within the movable channel 403. When the movable door 20 is in the open state, at least a portion of the movable door moves outside the movable channel; when the movable door 20 is in the closed state, at least a portion of the movable door 20 remains within the movable channel. The movable channel limits the moving range of the movable door 20, allowing it to move in a predetermined direction during operation, avoiding errors in the moving angle or path, and improving the stability of the movable door 20's movement.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, a first sealing plate 51 is provided on the outer side of one of the movable doors 20, located at the end of the movable door 20 away from its corresponding fixed door 40; a second sealing plate 52 is provided on the outer side of the other movable door 20, located at the end of the other movable door 20 away from its corresponding fixed door 40. When both movable doors 20 are closed, the first sealing plate 51 and the second sealing plate 52 cooperate to seal each other. The double-door structure, combined with the sealing plates, enhances the sealing performance of the cutting chamber, further preventing the escape of debris and liquid generated during the cutting process, and also preventing the entry of external dust and moisture.

[0062] Specifically, the first sealing plate 51 and the second sealing plate 52 are both welded to their respective corresponding movable doors 20. The side of the first sealing plate 51 facing the second sealing plate 52 has a groove, and the end of the second sealing plate 52 extends into the groove and abuts against the first sealing plate 51. Furthermore, the projection of the second sealing plate 52 along the depth direction of the feed inlet 101 covers the contact surface of the two movable doors 20 when they are in the closed state, which can further improve the sealing effect of the sealing plates.

[0063] like Figures 7 to 9As shown, the fixed door 40 is located inside the movable door 20, and the guide plate 331 is located outside the movable door 20. A first scraper 61 is provided inside the fixed door 40. The first scraper 61 extends along the height direction of the upper and lower material inlets 101. One end of the first scraper 61 along the width direction of the upper and lower material inlets 101 is located on the fixed door 40, and the other end of the first scraper 61 along the width direction of the upper and lower material inlets 101 is located outside the fixed door 40 and abuts against the inside of the movable door 20. A second scraper 62 is provided on the frame 10. The second scraper 62 extends along the width direction of the upper and lower material inlets 101. One end of the second scraper 62 along the height direction of the upper and lower material inlets 101 is located on the frame 10 at the top of the upper and lower material inlets 101, and the other end of the second scraper 62 along the height direction of the upper and lower material inlets 101 is located outside the frame 10 at the top of the upper and lower material inlets 101 and abuts against the inside of the movable door 20. With the above settings, the first scraper 61 and the second scraper 62 can scrape off the water on the surface of the door facing the cutting chamber when the movable door 20 moves, preventing water droplets from splashing when the movable door 20 is opened. At the same time, the scraped water can also be guided back to the cutting chamber through the water receiving tray 70, realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0064] The first wiper blade 61 and the second wiper blade 62 can be a continuous single structure or a multi-segment split structure.

[0065] Furthermore, the drive assembly 30 also includes a second guide assembly 34, which is disposed on the frame 10 and is used to guide the movement direction of the crossbeam 321. The second guide assembly 34 guides the movement of the crossbeam 321, ensuring its stability and accuracy during movement. This prevents abnormal movement of the movable door 20 due to the crossbeam 321 deviating from its predetermined direction, improving the reliability and efficiency of the drive assembly 30, reducing maintenance costs, and extending the service life of both the drive assembly 30 and the movable door 20.

[0066] The second guide component can be a guide groove that guides the roller, or a threaded rod or threaded sleeve that guides the anti-rotation structure.

[0067] like Figure 10As shown, the second guide assembly 34 includes a guide block 341, a sliding shaft 342, and an elastic element 343. The guide block 341 is fixed to the frame 10 and has a guide hole extending along the height direction of the feed inlet / outlet 101. The sliding shaft 342 passes through the guide hole and is movable relative to the guide block 341 along the extension direction of the guide hole. The elastic element 343 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sliding shaft 342. One end of the elastic element 343 is connected to the side of the guide block 341 facing the crossbeam 321, and the other end of the elastic element 343 is connected to the side of the crossbeam 321 facing the guide block 341. When the crossbeam 321 moves upward, the elastic element 343 is compressed. When the crossbeam 321 moves downward, the pressure of the elastic element 343 is gradually released, which provides the crossbeam 321 with a driving force toward the upper and lower feed ports 101. This can reduce the jamming of the crossbeam 321, ensure smoother door closing, reduce the chance of damage to the drive element 31, and at the same time provide a connection between the crossbeam 321 and the guide block 341, improving the synchronicity of the movement of both ends of the crossbeam 321.
