Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to a segmented cooling tunnel conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Segmented cooling tunnel conveying devices are key equipment used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries for the continuous cooling of processed materials. By dividing the cooling tunnel into multiple independently temperature-controlled conveying segments, and cooperating with conveyor belts, materials processed at high temperatures, such as baked goods and freshly formed pharmaceutical suppositories, are sequentially fed into different cooling zones to achieve gradient cooling or rapid cooling.

[0003] In actual production at a food processing plant, bread, cakes, and other materials fresh from the baking line are placed sequentially at the entrance of a segmented cooling tunnel conveyor. Due to the fast pace of the production line, workers often find it difficult to ensure that each material is precisely centered on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt operates, coupled with slight differences in the conveyor speeds of each segment and minor vibrations during equipment operation, the materials gradually deviate from the center position within the cooling tunnel. When these offset materials reach the tunnel exit, some may rub against the inner wall of the tunnel and enter the subsequent packaging stage at an angle, requiring manual adjustment to complete the packaging smoothly, thus slowing down the entire production line.

[0004] Therefore, a segmented cooling tunnel conveying device was designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a segmented cooling tunnel conveyor device. It solves the problem that in actual production in food processing workshops, materials are difficult to place accurately at the center of the conveyor belt inlet due to the fast pace of the production line, and are further deviated from the center due to the operation of the conveyor belt and equipment vibration. When the materials reach the outlet, they may enter the subsequent packaging stage at an angle, requiring manual adjustment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A segmented cooling tunnel conveying device includes a segmented cooling tunnel device body, a conveyor belt disposed inside the segmented cooling tunnel device body, and a cover plate fixedly installed at the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device body; a flow guiding component is disposed inside the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device body, the flow guiding component being used to centrally guide the material on the conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, the flow guiding component includes mounting blocks fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the segmented cooling tunnel device body, and guide plates are respectively hinged to the bottom of the two mounting blocks, and the two guide plates are symmetrically distributed.

[0008] Preferably, the ends of the two guide plates away from the mounting block extend to the outside of the segmented cooling tunnel device body, and vertical rods are fixedly installed on the top of the two guide plates, with the vertical rods being perpendicular to the guide plates.

[0009] Preferably, studs are fixedly installed at the top of the two vertical rods, the studs are coaxially arranged with the vertical rods, and the outer diameter of the studs is smaller than the outer diameter of the vertical rods.

[0010] Preferably, a groove is provided on the outer wall of the cover plate at the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device, the groove penetrating the cover plate and corresponding to the position of the vertical rod.

[0011] Preferably, the groove is composed of two symmetrical arc segments, the curvature of a single arc segment is adapted to the curvature of the guide plate rotating around the hinge point of the mounting block, and the two arc segments are symmetrically distributed with the center line of the cover plate as the axis of symmetry.

[0012] Preferably, the two studs pass through the corresponding sliding grooves, and the studs can slide along the arc-shaped section of the sliding grooves; a nut is threaded onto the stud, and the nut abuts against the outer wall of the cover plate to fix the vertical rod to the cover plate.

[0013] Preferably, a handle is fixedly installed on the middle outer wall of each of the two vertical rods, the handle is perpendicular to the vertical rod, and the ends of the two handles are both spherical.

[0014] Preferably, folding curtains are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two vertical rods, and the other end of the folding curtains is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover plate, and the folding curtains cover the opening of the sliding groove in the inner wall of the cover plate.

[0015] Preferably, the thickness of the folding curtain is greater than the width of the groove opening, and the thickness of the folding curtain is less than the outer diameter of the vertical rod.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention, by setting a flow guiding component and adjusting the spacing of the guide plates, can adapt to materials of different sizes. The two symmetrical guide plates can accurately guide the material on the conveyor belt to be centered at the outlet end, avoiding material deviation and rubbing against the inner wall of the outlet end of the main body, while facilitating subsequent operations.

[0017] This invention uses the vertical rod to simultaneously drive the guide plate to rotate and the folding curtain to stretch or contract. The guide plate guides the material to be centered, and the folding curtain always covers the opening of the inner wall of the chute. Its thickness is adapted to the width of the chute opening, which effectively reduces the diffusion of cold air inside the body and saves energy. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1: Please see Figure 1-7A segmented cooling tunnel conveying device includes a segmented cooling tunnel device body 1, a conveyor belt 10 disposed inside the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1, and a cover plate 11 fixedly installed at the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1. A flow guiding component is disposed inside the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1 to guide the material on the conveyor belt 10 in a centered manner. The flow guiding component includes mounting blocks 2 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1. Guide plates 3 are hinged to the bottom of the two mounting blocks 2, and the two guide plates 3 are symmetrically distributed. The ends of the two guide plates 3 away from the mounting blocks 2 extend to the outside of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1. Vertical rods 4 are fixedly installed on the tops of the two guide plates 3, and the vertical rods 4 are perpendicular to the guide plates 3. Studs 5 are fixedly installed on the tops of the two vertical rods 4, and the studs 5 are coaxial with the vertical rods 4, with the outer diameter of the studs 5 being smaller than the outer diameter of the vertical rods 4. A section is opened on the outer wall of the cover plate 11 at the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1. The slide groove 111 penetrates the cover plate 11 and corresponds to the position of the vertical rod 4. The slide groove 111 consists of two symmetrical arc segments. The curvature of each arc segment matches the curvature of the guide plate 3 rotating around the hinge point of the mounting block 2, and the two arc segments are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the cover plate 11. Two studs 5 penetrate the corresponding slide groove 111, and the studs 5 can slide along the arc segment of the slide groove 111. Nuts are threaded onto the studs 5, and the nuts abut against the outer wall of the cover plate 11 to achieve the connection between the vertical rod 4 and the cover. The plate 11 is fixed; handles 41 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the middle part of the two vertical rods 4 respectively. The handles 41 are set perpendicular to the vertical rods 4, and the ends of the two handles 41 are spherical; folding curtains 6 are fixedly installed on the side of the two vertical rods 4 that are far apart from each other. The other end of the folding curtains 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover plate 11, and the folding curtains 6 cover the opening of the slide groove 111 in the inner wall of the cover plate 11; the thickness of the folding curtains 6 is greater than the width of the groove 111, and the thickness of the folding curtains 6 is less than the outer diameter of the vertical rods 4.

[0026] By loosening the nut on the stud 5 and pulling the vertical rod 4 with the handle 41, the guide plate 3 can be rotated along the hinge point of the mounting block 2. After adjusting the spacing, tighten the nut to fix it. By matching the arc of the chute 111 with the rotation arc of the guide plate 3, the guide plate 3 can be adjusted to extend beyond the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1. Whether it is a small material or a large material, a suitable guiding range can be found by adjustment to meet the centering guidance needs of materials of different sizes in diversified production. By setting guide plates 3, two symmetrically distributed guide plates 3 can guide the material on the conveyor belt 10 to be centered at the outlet end, effectively avoiding the material from scraping against the inner wall of the outlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1 due to deviation, which facilitates subsequent operations. By setting up a folding curtain 6, the folding curtain 6 covers the opening of the inner wall of the slide 111 and the thickness is greater than the width of the slide 111 opening. When the vertical rod 4 drives the guide plate 3 to move, the folding curtain 6 stretches or contracts accordingly, always effectively blocking the slide 111, reducing the diffusion of cold air in the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1, and saving energy. The guide plate 3 and folding curtain 6 are driven synchronously when the vertical rod 4 moves, so that the stud 5 slides in the slide groove 111, ensuring the smoothness of the slide. The spherical design of the handle 41 makes it easy to exert force.

[0027] Workflow Based on the size of the material to be conveyed, determine the required distance between the two guide plates 3 extending out of the segmented cooling tunnel device body 1; loosen the nuts on the fixing studs 5 and the cover plate 11, allowing the studs 5 to slide freely within the slide groove 111, thus releasing the fixation on the vertical rod 4; by pulling the handle 41, the vertical rod 4 is moved, and the vertical rod 4 slides along the arc section of the slide groove 111, thereby causing the guide plates 3 to rotate along the hinge point with the mounting block 2, thereby adjusting the distance between the two guide plates 3 extending out of the device body to adapt to the size of the material; during the movement of the vertical rod 4, the folding curtain 6 will be stretched or contracted accordingly, ensuring that the folding curtain 6 always covers the opening of the slide groove 111 on the inner wall of the cover plate 11; after the distance between the two guide plates 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, tighten the nuts on the studs 5, so that the nuts abut against the outer wall of the cover plate 11, fixing the vertical rod 4 to the cover plate 11, thereby fixing the position of the guide plates 3; The device is started, and the material is placed on the conveyor belt 10 at the inlet end of the segmented cooling tunnel device 1. The material enters the device for cooling along with the conveyor belt 10. When the material is transported to the outlet end, it is centered under the guidance of the two guide plates 3 and then enters the subsequent operation stage. During the entire use, the folding curtain 6 protects the cold air inside the segmented cooling tunnel device 1, reduces the diffusion of cold air, and maintains the cooling environment inside the device.

The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments.
