Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food braising machinery technology, and in particular to a basket lifting device and a multi-pot braising machine. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-pot braising machines, also known as continuous braising machines or multi-unit braising pots, consist of multiple braising pots mounted on a frame. Each pot can be controlled independently for its specific braising operation. Each pot uses honeycomb-shaped baskets stacked on top of each other to hold the food to be braising. In actual production, a basket-lifting device is installed on the frame to place or remove the stacked baskets into or from the corresponding pot, achieving mechanized feeding and unloading. Currently, the basket-lifting device in multi-pot braising machines is a lifting frame mounted on a traveling frame. An outer frame is hooked onto the lifting frame, and the stacked baskets are placed within this outer frame. The baskets are lifted by hooking onto the outer frame. This structure has shortcomings in use. Firstly, the hook on the outer frame is only in the middle, causing significant swaying of the outer frame and baskets during lifting, especially when removing them. This swaying hinders stable lifting and may cause the baskets to collide with the pot walls, leading to structural deformation or even damage. Secondly, the material baskets are stacked within the outer frame, making it extremely inconvenient to retrieve them from the frame, and the baskets frequently tip over. Thirdly, the outer frame occupies a considerable amount of space inside the cooking pot, effectively reducing the capacity of the material baskets and consequently decreasing the amount of broth that can be cooked at one time, thus impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a basket lifting device and a multi-pot braising machine that enables stable lifting and lowering of material baskets, improves the convenience of stacking material baskets, and increases the amount of braising in a single batch.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a basket lifting device, including a translation mechanism, on which a vertically movable basket lifting frame is installed, and a lifting guide mechanism and a lifting drive are provided between the basket lifting frame and the translation mechanism; at least three downwardly extending basket lifting connectors are installed on the basket lifting frame, and a basket supporting part is provided at the lower end of the basket lifting connector, and a basket supporting controller is connected to the basket supporting part, which is used to drive the basket supporting part to reach the bottom of the basket.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution, the basket connector includes a basket connecting rod, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the basket lifting frame.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the basket support is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the basket lifting connecting rod and protrudes from the outer circumference of the basket lifting connecting rod. The basket support controller is disposed between the upper end of the basket lifting connecting rod and the basket lifting frame. The basket support controller is used to drive the basket lifting connecting rod to rotate so that the basket support reaches below the material basket.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the basket controller includes a rotary cylinder.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the lifting drive includes a lifting transmission screw rotatably mounted on the translation mechanism, a lifting transmission sleeve that cooperates with the lifting transmission screw is fixedly mounted on the basket lifting frame, a lifting drive motor is mounted on the translation mechanism, and the power end of the lifting drive motor is poweredly connected to the lifting transmission screw.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the translation mechanism includes a translation frame, on which the basket lifting frame is mounted; the translation frame is connected to a translation guide mechanism and a translation driver.

[0010] A multi-pot braising machine includes a frame on which a plurality of pot assemblies are arranged in an array. The frame is also equipped with a basket-lifting device, and the translation mechanism in the basket-lifting device is used to translate between at least a plurality of the pot assemblies.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material basket is removed, the lifting frame is driven to descend. Utilizing the downward extension provided by the lifting connector, the basket support portion reaches a position below the bottom of the material basket. Then, the basket support controller drives the basket support portion to reach below the material basket. After the lifting frame is driven to rise, at least three basket support portions can jointly lift the material basket. The actions are reversed when placing the material basket. Through the above structural principle, the material basket is supported by at least three points during lifting and placing, achieving stable lifting and placing. Lifting and placing directly supports the material basket, eliminating the need for an outer frame. Therefore, the stacking process avoids interference from the outer frame, improving the convenience of stacking the material baskets. Simultaneously, the elimination of the outer frame in the cooking pot frees up space, facilitating the expansion of the material basket capacity and increasing the single-braising volume.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the basket lifting device 2 includes a translation mechanism 3. The translation mechanism 3 is a mechanism capable of reciprocating between at least a plurality of cooking pot assemblies 11 in the braising machine, facilitating the lifting and lowering of the basket 9 at each cooking pot assembly 11. The translation mechanism 3 includes a translation frame 31, which is connected to a translation guide mechanism and a translation driver. Conventionally, the translation guide mechanism can be implemented using wheel-rail guidance or sliding guide rail guidance, etc., and the translation driver can be implemented using a motor coupled with gear and rack transmission, screw transmission, or chain belt pulling, etc. No limitations are imposed here, and all of the above methods are known and readily available technologies. Specific structures are not described in detail in the figure.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a vertically movable basket lifting frame 4 is installed on the translation mechanism 3. Specifically, the basket lifting frame 4 is mounted on the translation frame 31. A lifting guide mechanism 41 and a lifting driver 42 are provided between the basket lifting frame 4 and the translation mechanism 3 to provide lifting stability and lifting power, respectively. The lifting guide mechanism 41 can be implemented using wheel-rail guidance, guide rail slide guidance, or guide rod sliding sleeve guidance, etc., without limitation. This embodiment only illustrates guide rod sliding sleeve guidance. Linear bearings are preferably used at the sliding sleeve to reduce lifting resistance and improve lifting stability.

[0017] The lifting drive 42 includes a lifting transmission screw 43 rotatably mounted on the translation mechanism 3. A lifting transmission sleeve 44, which cooperates with the lifting transmission screw 43, is fixedly mounted on the basket lifting frame 4. A lifting drive motor 46 is mounted on the translation mechanism 3, and the power end of the lifting drive motor 46 is poweredly connected to the lifting transmission screw 43. After the lifting drive motor 46 drives the lifting transmission screw 43 to rotate, the lifting transmission sleeve 44 is displaced along the axis of the lifting transmission screw 43 through helical transmission, thus causing the basket lifting frame 4 to lift. When the lifting drive motor 46 drives the lifting transmission screw 43 to rotate forward, the basket lifting frame 4 descends; when the lifting drive motor 46 drives the lifting transmission screw 43 to rotate in reverse, the basket lifting frame 4 rises.

[0018] In this embodiment, two lifting transmission screws 43 are provided and are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the translation frame 31. Synchronous transmission rods 45 are rotatably mounted on the translation frame 31 at the upper ends corresponding to the two lifting transmission screws 43. Each synchronous transmission rod 45 is connected to the corresponding lifting transmission screw 43 via bevel gear transmission. The power end of the lifting drive motor 46 is connected to the proximal ends of the two synchronous transmission rods 45 via bevel gear transmission. This achieves symmetry in the lifting transmission under single-power conditions, reduces the impact of off-center load, and further improves lifting stability. Similarly, the lifting guide mechanism 41 includes lifting guide rods symmetrically arranged at each of the lifting transmission screws 43 on each side. Therefore, the lifting guide mechanism 41 consists of four sets of guide rod sliding sleeve structures, resulting in more stable guidance.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, at least three downwardly extending basket connectors 5 are installed on the basket lifting frame 4. The lower end of the basket connector 5 is provided with a basket support part 52. The basket support part 52 is connected to a basket support controller 53. The basket support controller 53 is used to drive the basket support part 52 to reach the bottom of the material basket 9.

[0020] When removing the material basket 9, the lifting driver 42 drives the basket lifting frame 4 to descend. Utilizing the downward extension provided by the basket lifting connector 5, the basket support part 52 eventually reaches a position below the bottom of the material basket 9. Then, the basket support controller 53 drives the basket support part 52 to reach below the material basket 9. Of course, for stacked material baskets 9, it reaches below the bottommost material basket 9. Thus, after the basket lifting frame 4 is driven to rise, at least three basket support parts 52 can jointly lift the material basket 9. The process of placing the material basket 9 is the reverse.

[0021] Based on the above structural principles, the material basket 9 is supported by at least three points during lifting and lowering, achieving stable lifting and lowering. Lifting and lowering directly supports the material basket 9, eliminating the need for an outer frame. Therefore, the stacking process of the material basket 9 avoids interference from the outer frame, simplifying the stacking operation. Simultaneously, the elimination of the outer frame in the cooking pot frees up space, allowing for the expansion of the material basket 9's capacity and increasing the amount of braising liquid per batch.

[0022] Based on the above structural principle, the translation frame 31 has a discharge space corresponding to the pot opening of the cooking pot assembly 11. The lifting basket 4 and its upper structure, as well as the lifted basket 9, can be located within this space. Therefore, preferably, the translation frame 31 is configured as a square frame structure. The lifting basket connectors 5 can be three, four, or more, as long as the center of gravity of the basket 9 is located between the lifting positions when lifted; the number is not limited.

[0023] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the basket connector 5 in this embodiment includes a basket connecting rod 51, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the basket lifting frame 4. The basket support portion 52 is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the basket connecting rod 51 and protrudes from the outer circumference of the basket connecting rod 51. The basket support controller 53 is disposed between the upper end of the basket connecting rod 51 and the basket lifting frame 4. The basket support controller 53 drives the basket connecting rod 51 to rotate so that the basket support portion 52 reaches below the bottom basket 9. Thus, when the basket 9 is removed, the basket connecting rod 51 extends downward into the cooking pot, and when the basket support portion 52 reaches a position below the bottom basket 9, the basket support controller 53 drives the basket connecting rod 51 to rotate, causing the basket support portion 52 to reach below the bottom basket 9.

[0024] In one embodiment, the lifting basket connecting rod 51 can extend downwards through the gap between the material basket 9 and the cooking pot. In this case, the basket support part 52 rotates from this gap to below the material basket 9, providing a lifting function when raised. Alternatively, the lifting basket connecting rod 51 can pass through the material basket 9. In this case, the material basket 9 has an elongated through-hole 91 for the lifting basket connecting rod 51 and the basket support part 52 to pass through. Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the basket support 52, after rotation, reaches below the long side of the lowest through-hole 91, and plays a lifting role when raised; this embodiment illustrates the latter. Under this structural principle, a partition 92 is preferably fixedly provided in the inner cavity of the basket 9 to separate the through-hole 91, so as to prevent food in the basket from blocking the through-hole 91 and to ensure that the lifting basket connecting rod 51 passes through smoothly; and there is a rod hole restriction between the lifting basket connecting rod 51 and the through-hole 91, which can further promote the stability of the lifting process. The basket support 52 can be fixedly welded to the lower end of the basket connecting rod 51, or it can be fixedly installed thereon; there is no limitation on this. The basket support controller 53 in this embodiment includes a rotary cylinder, which has a simple structure, is easy to arrange, and has low cost. Of course, it is also possible to use a motor to directly drive the rotation or to use a motor, cylinder, and other transmission structures together.

[0025] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a multi-pot braising machine, including a frame 1, on which a plurality of pot assemblies 11 are arranged in an array. A basket-lifting device 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and the translation mechanism 3 in the basket-lifting device 2 is used for translation between at least the plurality of pot assemblies 11. When the multi-pot braising machine also includes a loading station 12 and a unloading station 13, the translation mechanism 3 performs translation at least between the loading station 12, the unloading station 13, and the plurality of pot assemblies 11.

[0026] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of this utility model. The basic principle is to use the downwardly extending basket connector 5 to enable the basket support part 52 to reach a position lower than the material basket 9. Then, the basket support controller 53 controls the basket support part 52 to reach the bottom of the material basket 9. When the basket lifting frame 4 is raised, the material basket 9 can be lifted as a whole. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. For example, the basket connector 5 is not rotatably mounted, but fixedly mounted on the basket lifting frame 4. The basket support part 52 is swayingly mounted at the lower end of the basket connector 5, and is in a vertical state during the lifting process of the basket lifting frame 4. When the basket support part 52 reaches a position lower than the material basket 9, the basket support controller 53 drives the basket support part 52 to swing up below the material basket 9. This also lifts the material basket 9 when the basket lifting frame 4 rises. This structural arrangement achieves the same technical effect. These changes and improvements all fall within the scope of this utility model as claimed. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
