Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bowl lifting devices, and in particular to an intelligent automatic feeding bowl lifting conveyor platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data, the traditional catering industry is facing problems such as rising labor costs and low efficiency. Unmanned restaurants have emerged as a result. Unmanned restaurants refer to catering establishments that use intelligent technology to automate the entire process of ordering, cooking, picking up food, and settling accounts without the need for human service.

[0003] With the development of unmanned vending machines and smart unmanned canteens, automatic bowl serving has become a necessity. However, the currently used automatic bowl lifting devices do not have a large enough storage capacity. During the bowl serving process, multiple bowls need to be stacked together manually before the bowl lifting operation is performed. This high level of human intervention is not conducive to improving the overall level of automation and will reduce the overall bowl lifting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue of the need for manual stacking of multiple bowls before lifting them during the bowl-loading process, which involves significant human intervention, this application provides an intelligent automatic feeding and lifting conveyor platform.

[0005] The intelligent automatic feeding and lifting bowl conveyor platform provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The device includes an outer baffle, on the inner side of which two sets of sprockets are installed, connected by a chain. A conveyor belt is installed on the inner side of the chain, and multiple partition plates are evenly installed on the conveyor belt. A fixed frame is provided on the inner side of the outer baffle at one end of the conveyor belt. A rotating column is rotatably installed in the middle of the inner side of the fixed frame. The rotating column is threaded and connected to a lifting platform via the thread. An adjustable lifting component is installed on the lifting platform, located at the upper part of one end of the conveyor belt.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a first drive motor drives a set of sprockets to rotate, and the sprockets drive another set of sprockets to rotate through a chain. At this time, the chain drives the conveyor belt to move when it is in motion, which facilitates the movement of the bowl.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed frame is also equipped with two limit posts, which are located on both sides of the rotating column and are arranged opposite to each other, with the two limit posts passing through the lifting platform.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the lifting platform during the lifting process can be ensured by the two limit columns.

[0010] Preferably, a first drive motor is connected to the middle of one set of sprockets, the output end of the first drive motor is connected to the middle of the sprocket, and the first drive motor is connected to the lower part of the outer baffle.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a first drive motor drives a set of sprockets to rotate, and the sprockets drive another set of sprockets to rotate through a chain. At this time, the chain drives the conveyor belt to move when it is in motion, which facilitates the movement of the bowl.

[0012] Preferably, a second drive motor is installed on the upper part of the rotating column, the output end of the second drive motor is connected to the rotating column, and the second drive motor is connected to the fixed frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the second drive motor is started, which drives the rotating column to rotate. When the rotating column rotates, it can drive the lifting platform to move downward through the screw thread.

[0014] Preferably, an adjusting rod is rotatably installed inside the lifting platform. The two ends of the adjusting rod are provided with a set of opposing bidirectional threads. The adjusting rod is connected to two moving blocks through a set of bidirectional threads. There are two adjustable lifting components, which are connected to the two moving blocks respectively.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustment rod is driven to rotate by the third drive motor. When the adjustment rod rotates, it can drive the two moving blocks to move outward synchronously through the bidirectional thread, so that the distance between the two adjustable lifting parts is greater than the maximum diameter of the bowl, which facilitates subsequent clamping.

[0016] Preferably, the upper part of the two movable blocks is equipped with limit wheels, the lifting platform is provided with a moving groove, the limit wheels are located inside the moving groove and can move inside the moving groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the movement of the two moving blocks can be ensured by the cooperation of the limiting wheel and the moving groove.

[0018] Preferably, one end of the adjusting rod is connected to a third drive motor, the output end of the third drive motor is connected to the adjusting rod, and the third drive motor is connected to the side of the lifting platform.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the third drive motor drives the adjusting rod to rotate. When the adjusting rod rotates, it can drive the two moving blocks to move outward synchronously through the bidirectional thread, so that the distance between the two adjustable lifting parts is greater than the maximum diameter of the bowl, which facilitates the subsequent clamping of the bowl.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. This application uses a lifting platform to move adjustable lifting components to the upper side of the bowl. Then, the third drive motor reverses to bring the two adjustable lifting components closer together to clamp the bowl. At this time, the second drive motor reverses to lift the bowl. When another bowl moves to one end of the conveyor belt, the adjustable lifting components are lowered first to place the upper bowl into the lower bowl, so that the two are stacked. Then, the steps of separating, lowering, and clamping the two adjustable lifting components are repeated. This eliminates the need for manual stacking and improves the overall efficiency.

[0022] 2. This application uses a first drive motor to drive a set of sprockets to rotate, and the sprockets drive another set of sprockets to rotate via a chain. When the chain is in motion, it drives the conveyor belt to move, and the bowls on the conveyor belt move accordingly, reducing the degree of manual intervention and improving the overall practicality.

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses an intelligent automatic feeding and lifting bowl conveying platform, including an outer baffle 1. Two sets of sprockets 2 are installed on the inner side of the outer baffle 1, and the two sets of sprockets 2 are connected by a chain 3. A conveyor belt 4 is installed on the inner side of the chain 3. When one set of sprockets 2 rotates, the sprockets 2 drive the other set of sprockets 2 to rotate through the chain 3. At this time, when the chain 3 moves, it drives the conveyor belt 4 to move, and the bowls located on the conveyor belt 4 move accordingly. Multiple partition plates 5 are evenly installed on the conveyor belt 4. A fixing frame 6 is provided on the inner side of the outer baffle 1 at one end of the conveyor belt 4. A rotating column 7 is rotatably installed in the middle of the inner side of the fixing frame 6. The rotating column 7 is threaded with a thread 8, and the rotating column 7 is connected by the thread 8. A lifting platform 9 is connected, and an adjustable lifting component 11 is installed on the lifting platform 9. The adjustable lifting component 11 is located at the upper part of one end of the conveyor belt 4. A limit post 10 is also installed on the fixed frame 6. There are two limit posts 10, which are located on both sides of the rotating column 7 and are arranged opposite each other. The two limit posts 10 pass through the lifting platform 9. The second drive motor 13 is started to drive the rotating column 7 to rotate. When the rotating column 7 rotates, it can drive the lifting platform 9 to move downward through the thread 8. The lifting platform 9 drives the adjustable lifting component 11 to move to the upper side of the bowl. Then the third drive motor 17 reverses, so that the two adjustable lifting components 11 come closer together to clamp the bowl, and then gradually move upward to complete the bowl lifting step.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One set of sprockets 2 is connected to the middle of a first drive motor 12. The output end of the first drive motor 12 is connected to the middle of the sprocket 2. The first drive motor 12 is connected to the lower part of the outer baffle 1. The first drive motor 12 drives a set of sprockets 2 to rotate. The sprockets 2 drive another set of sprockets 2 to rotate through the chain 3. At this time, the chain 3 drives the conveyor belt 4 to move when it is moving, which facilitates the movement of the bowl.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 A second drive motor 13 is installed on the upper part of the rotating column 7. The output end of the second drive motor 13 is connected to the rotating column 7. The second drive motor 13 is connected to the fixed frame 6. When the second drive motor 13 is started, the rotating column 7 is driven to rotate. When the rotating column 7 rotates, the lifting platform 9 can be driven to move downward through the thread 8.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5An adjusting rod 14 is rotatably installed inside the lifting platform 9. Both ends of the adjusting rod 14 have a set of opposing bidirectional threads 15. The adjusting rod 14 is connected to two moving blocks 16 via the bidirectional threads 15. Two adjustable lifting components 11 are connected to the two moving blocks 16 respectively. Limiting wheels 18 are installed on the upper part of the two moving blocks 16. A moving groove 19 is provided on the lifting platform 9. The limiting wheels 18 are located inside the moving groove 19 and can move within it. One end of the adjusting rod 14 is connected to a third drive motor 17. The output end of the third drive motor 17 is connected to the adjusting rod 14. The third drive motor 17 is connected to the side of the lifting platform 9. When the third drive motor 17 is started, it drives the adjusting rod 14 to rotate. When the adjusting rod 14 rotates, it drives the two moving blocks 16 to move outward synchronously via the bidirectional threads 15, making the distance between the two adjustable lifting components 11 greater than the maximum diameter of the bowl, facilitating subsequent clamping of the bowl.

[0034] The implementation principle of the intelligent automatic feeding and lifting bowl conveyor platform according to this application embodiment is as follows: In use, a clean bowl is first placed on the conveyor belt 4, positioned between two adjacent partition plates 5. Then, the first drive motor 12 is started, driving a set of sprockets 2 to rotate. These sprockets 2, via a chain 3, drive another set of sprockets 2 to rotate. As the chain 3 moves, it moves the conveyor belt 4, and the bowl on the conveyor belt 4 moves accordingly. When the bowl reaches one end of the conveyor belt 4, the third drive motor 17 is started, driving the adjusting rod 14 to rotate. When the adjusting rod 14 rotates, it drives two moving blocks 16 to move synchronously outward via a bidirectional thread 15. Make sure the distance between the two adjustable support pieces 11 is greater than the maximum diameter of the bowl. Then start the second drive motor 13 to drive the rotating column 7 to rotate. When the rotating column 7 rotates, it can drive the lifting platform 9 to move downward through the thread 8. The lifting platform 9 drives the adjustable support piece 11 to move to the upper side of the bowl. Then the third drive motor 17 reverses to bring the two adjustable support pieces 11 closer together and clamp the bowl. At this time, the second drive motor 13 reverses to drive the bowl to rise. When another bowl moves to one end of the conveyor belt 4, first move the adjustable support piece 11 down to put the upper bowl into the lower bowl so that the two are stacked. Then repeat the steps of separating, moving down and clamping the two adjustable support pieces 11.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
