Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream stick processing technology, and in particular to a ratchet feeding device for packing ice cream sticks. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of popsicle sticks, defective sticks need to be removed and packaged. Previously, our company used a four-sided popsicle stick sorting device (application number CN202220802858.X) to directly transport the defective popsicle sticks to the finished product hopper via a chute after removal, and then manually pack them. However, the popsicle sticks that fall into the finished product hopper after being transported via the chute are often disordered, and they need to be neatly arranged during packing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a ratchet feeding device for packing ice cream sticks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented according to the following technical solution: A ratchet feeding device for packing ice cream sticks includes a frame, a material discharge plate fixed to one end of the frame, and a guide groove on the upper surface of the material discharge plate. A pushing mechanism for pushing ice cream sticks one by one into the guide groove is provided at the front end of the guide groove. The pushing mechanism includes a drive shaft rotatably mounted on the frame at the front end of the guide groove. One end of the drive shaft is driven to rotate counterclockwise by a drive mechanism. Two synchronous pulleys are axially fixed on the drive shaft, the distance between the two synchronous pulleys being less than or equal to the length of the ice cream stick. Ratchets are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two synchronous pulleys respectively. The ratchet is axially fixed on the drive shaft, and its outer diameter is larger than that of the timing pulley. A first driven shaft is rotatably mounted on the rear end of the frame, and two timing pulleys are axially fixed on the first driven shaft. A second driven shaft is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame between the drive shaft and the first driven shaft, and two timing pulleys are axially fixed on the second driven shaft. The timing pulleys on the drive shaft, the first driven shaft, and the second driven shaft are connected by a timing belt. The outer end face of the timing belt is provided with several serrated teeth, and a groove for placing an ice cream stick is formed between two adjacent serrated teeth. The width of the groove is larger than the width of the ice cream stick.

[0005] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor fixed on the frame, a pulley fixed to the end of the motor's output shaft, a pulley fixed to one end of the drive shaft, and a belt connected to the two pulleys.

[0006] Furthermore, the front end of the blanking plate is provided with a slot for the ratchet to pass through, and the front end of the blanking plate outside the slot is provided with a notch for the cylindrical teeth on the timing belt to pass through.

[0007] Furthermore, two L-shaped baffles are fixed on the upper surface of the blanking plate, and a guide groove is formed between the two L-shaped baffles.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, this utility model uses belt drive to drive the drive shaft to rotate counterclockwise. The ratchet and synchronous wheel installed on the drive shaft rotate synchronously. The ice cream sticks are continuously fed through the bar groove on the synchronous belt. After the ice cream sticks run above the drive shaft, they automatically fall into the tooth groove of the ratchet. The ratchet continues to rotate counterclockwise until it passes through the slot at the front end of the drop plate for the ratchet to pass through, leaving the ice cream stick in the guide groove. When the next ice cream stick falls, the teeth of the ratchet will push the previous ice cream stick backward, that is, move it to the end of the guide groove, so that the ice cream sticks are neatly arranged in the guide groove. Then, they can be boxed and packaged at the end of the guide groove. Attached Figure Description

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0013] like Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, this embodiment exemplarily demonstrates a ratchet feeding device for packing ice cream sticks, including a frame 1, a feeding plate 2 fixed to one end of the frame 1, and a guide groove 21 provided on the upper surface of the feeding plate 2; a pushing mechanism for pushing ice cream sticks one by one into the guide groove is provided at the front end of the guide groove 21, the pushing mechanism including a drive shaft 3 rotatably mounted on the frame 1 at the front end of the guide groove 21, one end of the drive shaft 3 being driven to rotate counterclockwise by a drive mechanism, the drive mechanism including a motor (not shown in the figure) fixed on the frame 1, a pulley (not shown in the figure) fixed to the end of the output shaft of the motor, a pulley (not shown in the figure) also fixed to one end of the drive shaft, and a belt (not shown in the figure) connected to the two pulleys; two synchronous pulleys 4 are axially fixed on the drive shaft 3. The distance between the synchronous pulleys 4 is less than or equal to the length of the popsicle stick 9. The inner walls of the two synchronous pulleys 4 are respectively fixedly connected to ratchet 6. The ratchet 6 is axially fixed on the drive shaft 3, and the outer diameter of the ratchet 6 is greater than the outer diameter of the synchronous pulley 4. The rear end of the frame 1 is rotatably mounted with a first driven shaft 7, and two synchronous pulleys 4 are axially fixed on the first driven shaft 7. The top of the frame 1 between the drive shaft 3 and the first driven shaft 7 is rotatably mounted with a second driven shaft 8, and two synchronous pulleys 4 are axially fixed on the second driven shaft 8. The synchronous pulleys 4 on the drive shaft 3, the first driven shaft 7 and the second driven shaft 8 are connected by a synchronous belt 5. The outer end face of the synchronous belt 5 is provided with several cylindrical teeth 51. A groove 52 for placing a single popsicle stick 9 is formed between two adjacent cylindrical teeth 51. The width of the groove 52 is greater than the width of the popsicle stick 9.

[0014] like Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the discharge plate 2 has a slot 23 for the ratchet 6 to pass through, and the front end of the discharge plate 2 outside the slot 23 has a notch 24 for the pegs 51 on the timing belt 5 to pass through. This structure allows the ratchet 6 to pass through the slot 23 and then leaves the ice cream stick 9 in the guide groove 21. In actual use, two L-shaped baffles 22 are fixed on the upper surface of the discharge plate 2, forming the guide groove 21 between the two L-shaped baffles 22. The two L-shaped baffles 22 can be replaced as needed to accommodate ice cream sticks of different lengths.

[0015] When using, such as Figure 1As shown, the drive shaft 3 is driven to rotate counterclockwise via belt drive. The ratchet 6 and synchronous pulley 4 mounted on the drive shaft 3 rotate synchronously. The ice cream sticks 9 are continuously fed through the groove 52 on the synchronous belt. After the ice cream sticks 9 run above the drive shaft 3, they automatically fall into the tooth groove of the ratchet 6. The ratchet 6 continues to rotate counterclockwise until it passes through the slot 23 at the front end of the drop plate 2, which allows the ratchet to pass through, and then leaves the ice cream sticks 9 in the guide groove 21. When the next ice cream stick 9 falls, the teeth of the ratchet 6 will push the previous ice cream stick 9 backward, that is, move it to the end of the guide groove 21. Finally, the ice cream sticks 9 are neatly arranged in the guide groove 21, and can then be boxed and packaged at the end of the guide groove 21. During the feeding process, the feeding speed can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the motor, and the quantity fed each time can be changed by adjusting the number of teeth of the ratchet 6.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All technical modifications made based on the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
