Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steamed bun transportation technology, specifically relating to a steamed bun transportation line. Background Technology

[0002] Steamed buns are mainly used for consumption, and everyone is familiar with them. After the production of steamed buns, they need to be arranged using transportation devices to facilitate subsequent packaging and sales.

[0003] According to the authorized announcement number CN223032017U, "High-efficiency packaging and transportation device for small steamed buns," this patent is known prior art. Although the patent can achieve the transportation of steamed buns, the technical solution of this patent still has the following defects in actual use: When the steamed buns are transported in the slots on the conveyor belt, the screening device avoids the stacking of steamed buns during transportation. The stacked steamed buns are transferred to another conveying slot by guiding the flow. However, if there are steamed buns in all the slots on the conveyor belt, the stacked excess steamed buns cannot be transferred. It can be seen that this processing method is not good. In addition, when some slots are empty, the device cannot fill the slots that are missing steamed buns, which has certain drawbacks in use. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0023] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a steamed bun transportation line, including a conveyor 1, with temporary storage platforms 11 on both sides of the conveyor 1 for placing stacked excess steamed buns, a conveying trough 12 for transporting steamed buns on the conveyor 1, and a driving device 2 at one end of the conveyor 1 for driving the conveyor 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the drive device 2 drives the conveyor 1 to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying operation of steamed buns. The drive device 2 includes components such as a drive motor and a gearbox, which is also a common structure of the existing conveyor 1. When each conveying slot 12 is fully loaded, the gripper 9 places the excess steamed buns on the temporary storage platform 11 for storage, so as to make up for the missing steamed buns later, such as facilitating the subsequent packaging and other processing of the steamed buns.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A control box 3 is installed on one side of the conveyor 1, and a support frame 4 is installed on the outer side of the upper part of the conveyor 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the control box 3 can receive signals sent by the detection module 10 and control the servo motor 53 and the servo motor 62. The control box 3 is a Siemens S7-1200 series, thereby achieving automated control of the steamed bun conveying.

[0028] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The top of the support frame 4 is provided with a transverse mechanism 5. The transverse mechanism 5 is used to drive the follower mechanism 6 to adjust the position. The transverse mechanism 5 includes a support arm 51 fixed to the top of the support frame 4. Bearing seats 54 are provided at both ends of the support arm 51. A lead screw 52 is provided inside the bearing seat 54. A servo motor 53 is provided at one end of the lead screw 52. A lead screw nut 55 is threaded onto the outside of the lead screw 52.

[0029] In this embodiment, after the servo motor 53 is started, it drives the lead screw 52 to rotate. The lead screw 52 drives the lead screw nut 55 to move linearly below the support arm 51, thereby driving the follower mechanism 6, the sliding component 7, the lifter 8 and the gripper 9 to move laterally along the conveyor 1 in sync, changing the position of the gripper 9.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The transverse mechanism 5 is connected to a follower mechanism 6 that moves in the same direction as the conveyor 1. The follower mechanism 6 includes a cantilever beam 61 installed above the transverse mechanism 5. Both sides of the cantilever beam 61 are provided with drive wheels 63. One side of the cantilever beam 61 is provided with a servo motor 62 connected to one of the drive wheels 63. The two drive wheels 63 are provided with a synchronous belt 64.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the servo motor 62 is started, it drives the transmission wheel 63 and the synchronous belt 64 to rotate, which drives the sliding component 7, the lifting device 8 and the gripper 9 to move synchronously with the conveyor 1, so as to achieve relative stillness between the gripper 9 and the conveyor 1, which facilitates the gripping and repositioning of the steamed buns above the conveyor 1 without stopping the conveyor 1.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The follower mechanism 6 is equipped with a sliding component 7. The sliding component 7 includes a buckle 71 fixed to the upper side of the synchronous belt 64. The bottom sides of the buckle 71 are provided with a bracket 72 that is sleeved on the outside of the cantilever beam 61. The bottom end of the bracket 72 is fixed with a base plate 73.

[0033] In this embodiment, the buckle 71 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the synchronous belt 64. As the synchronous belt 64 rotates, the buckle 71 can move synchronously, so that the bracket 72 slides outside the cantilever beam 61, driving the lifter 8 and the gripper 9 installed below the base plate 73 to move synchronously.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A lifter 8 is installed at the bottom of the sliding assembly 7, and a gripper 9 located above the conveyor 1 is installed at the bottom end of the lifter 8. The gripper 9 is used to clamp and reposition the stacked steamed buns.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lifter 8 is a pneumatic structure that can drive the gripper 9 to move up and down. The lifter 8 is model HN-SJJ, and the gripper 9 is a pneumatic gripper, model MHS3 series.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A detection module 10 is installed above the conveyor 1, located in front of the gripper 9. The detection module 10 is used to detect the stacked or perforated buns. The detection module 10 includes a gantry frame 101 fixed above the conveyor 1. Several industrial cameras 102 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the gantry frame 101. A signal transmitter 103 electrically connected to the control box 3 is installed on the top of the gantry frame 101.

[0037] In this embodiment, an industrial camera 102 is used to monitor the steamed buns in the conveying trough 12 above the conveyor 1. If there are missing or stacked steamed buns, a signal is sent to the control box 3 through the signal transmitter 103 so that the position of the steamed buns can be adjusted in the future to achieve neat conveying of the steamed buns. The industrial camera 102 is model CFS201-H and the signal transmitter 103 is Yongnuo ST-E2. Depending on the actual needs, an industrial camera 102 with a signal transmitter 103 can also be selected, that is, the two are integrated into one structure.

[0038] In the above scheme, it should be noted that after the industrial camera 102 transmits the image information of the steamed bun captured by the camera to the control box 3 via the signal transmitter 103, the control box 3 will analyze and process the received signal and control the servo motor 53, the servo motor 62, the lifter 8, and the gripper 9 to operate, thereby realizing the adjustment operation of the steamed bun. At the same time, the signal transmission and electrical connection methods between the industrial camera 102, the servo motor 53, the servo motor 62, the lifter 8, the gripper 9, and the control box 3 are all existing publicly disclosed technologies. Furthermore, the technical solution of this application does not involve any improvement to the control program. Therefore, the control program and principle of the control box 3 adopt existing mature technical means, and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The operator places the steamed bun at one end of the conveyor 1 in the conveying trough 12, and uses the drive device 2 to drive the conveyor 1 to move, so as to realize the conveying operation of the steamed bun.

[0040] When the steamed buns are conveyed above the conveyor 1, if there is a stacking or missing of the steamed buns, the detection module 10 will detect it in real time, and the industrial camera 102 will monitor the conveying status of the steamed buns in the conveying trough 12 in real time.

[0041] The detected signal is transmitted to the control box 3, which controls the servo motor 53 and the servo motor 62. When the servo motor 53 is started, it drives the lead screw 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw nut 55 to slide linearly below the support arm 51. The lead screw nut 55 drives the cantilever beam 61 to move laterally along the conveyor 1, thereby adjusting the path of the gripper 9. Then, the servo motor 62 is started, which drives the transmission wheel 63 and the synchronous belt 64 to move. The synchronous belt 64 moves at the same speed as the conveyor 1, that is, the two are in a relatively stationary state. The lifting device 8 drives the gripper 9 to move up and down, thereby using the gripper 9 to clamp and release the steamed bun, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the position of the steamed bun above the conveyor 1.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
