Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-based food processing, specifically to an egg mold box conveying and flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of making dried egg, eggs are mixed with various seasonings and edible vegetable oil, then placed in a mold and steamed at high temperature to sterilize and form a block-shaped mixture. Finally, it is demolded, cut and packaged.

[0003] Currently, in automated processing, cleaning and drying the mold boxes for dried egg is an essential step. Typically, a conveyor belt is used to automatically transport the mold boxes, followed by cleaning and drying mechanisms above or below the conveyor belt. However, in actual operation, whether the mold boxes are placed upside down or upright on the conveyor belt, some boxes cannot be completely cleaned or dried properly, thus affecting the quality of the dried egg. Firstly, when the mold box is placed upright on the conveyor belt (i.e., the opening of the mold box faces upwards, and the bottom is in contact with the conveyor belt surface), a closed or semi-closed contact area is formed between the conveyor belt and the bottom of the mold box. The cleaning fluid sprayed by the cleaning mechanism cannot enter this contact area, making it impossible to rinse away residual residue and oil stains at the bottom of the mold box. At the same time, the airflow of the drying mechanism cannot penetrate this contact area, resulting in residual water stains at the bottom of the mold box not being dried, forming a damp area. Furthermore, when placed upright, it is impossible to drain the water inside the mold box, and it is also inconvenient to discharge the wastewater generated during cleaning. Secondly, when the mold box is placed upside down on the conveyor belt (i.e., the opening of the mold box faces downwards, and the top or edge flange structure is in contact with the conveyor belt surface), although the inner surface of the mold box can better contact the cleaning fluid and the drying airflow, a contact dead angle will still be formed at the flange part or top end face where the mold box contacts the conveyor belt. The cleaning fluid also cannot effectively rinse away residual stains in this area, and the drying airflow is also unable to completely dry the water stains in this area. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides an egg mold box conveying and flipping mechanism. This mechanism utilizes a double-layer conveyor belt setup, combined with a clamping mechanism located on the outside of the upper conveyor belt, to easily clamp the mold boxes conveyed on the lower conveyor belt. This ensures that the mold boxes can be separated from the conveyor belt surface when flipped to the top, facilitating rinsing and drying, thus guaranteeing both cleaning and drying effects. Furthermore, by setting a push plate assembly, the clamping assembly can be automatically clamped and released, facilitating the automatic flipping of the conveyed mold boxes and achieving comprehensive cleaning and drying.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an egg mold box conveying and flipping mechanism includes a first conveyor belt and adjustable guide rods on both sides of the top. The second conveyor belt is positioned above the first conveyor belt and maintains the same conveying direction as the first conveyor belt; Several clamping components are evenly distributed above the surface of the second conveyor belt to clamp the material being conveyed on the first conveyor belt so as to achieve upward flipping and conveying. The pusher assembly is located below both ends of the second conveyor belt to drive the clamping assembly to clamp and release the material.

[0006] Preferably, the guide rod is parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt, and an adjustment seat is provided on the top of the frame on both sides of the first conveyor belt. The adjustment seat contains an installation block that is adjusted by a screw, and the guide rod is fixed to the side of the installation block and adjusted by the screw.

[0007] Preferably, support plates are provided above the two side frames of the first conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt is tensioned at the outer end of the shaft between the support plates, and an installation rod is provided on the outside of the second conveyor belt, with the clamping assembly installed on the outside of the installation rod.

[0008] Preferably, each of the clamping components includes opposing clamping plates, which are rotated by being disposed through the middle of the outer end of the mounting rod. A torsion spring is also disposed between the clamping plate and the mounting rod. A roller is disposed at the outer end of the clamping plate near the feeding direction of the first conveyor belt at the bottom of the second conveyor belt. A soft rubber layer is disposed on the inner side of the other end of the clamping plate.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is also provided between the support plates on the same side of the first conveyor belt. The push plate assembly is installed on the inner end of the connecting plate. The push plate assembly specifically includes a fixed push plate and a movable push plate. The fixed push plate is installed on the end of the connecting plate near the discharge end of the first conveyor belt, and the movable push plate is installed on the other end of the connecting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner surface of the fixed push plate is an inclined surface, with its lowest end close to the end of the connecting plate near the discharge end of the first conveyor belt. One end of the movable push plate is rotatably disposed on the inner surface of the connecting plate, and the other end is fixed or adjusted by a clamping assembly preset on the outer side of the end of the connecting plate, so that the movable push plate is inclinedly disposed on the inner surface of the connecting plate and the lowest end is a hinged end close to the discharge end of the first conveyor belt. The roller at the outer end of the clamping plate contacts the inclined surface of the fixed push plate or the inner surface of the movable push plate to push the clamping plate to compress the torsion spring to rotate around the mounting rod to achieve clamping and releasing.

[0011] Preferably, an mounting plate is provided between the inner side gap of the movable push plate and the connecting plate. The upper and lower sides of the end of the mounting plate away from the feed end of the first conveyor belt are provided with hinge rods. One end of the movable push plate is sleeved on the outside of the hinge rod to maintain rotation and form a hinge end. Another hinge rod is provided on the upper and lower sides of the other end of the movable push plate. The clamping assembly includes a clamping screw and a connecting frame. The connecting frame is a rectangular frame with one end open and the two ends of the open end are respectively sleeved on the outside of the hinge rod of the movable push plate to maintain rotation. The closed end of the connecting frame is located on the outside of the connecting plate. The clamping screw is threaded to the closed end of the connecting frame and keeps one end pressed against the outside of the connecting plate. A nut is provided on the other side, which is screwed onto the outer end of the clamping screw and contacts the outside of the closed end of the connecting frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This structure, through the design of "double-layer conveyor belt + outer clamping mechanism", can automatically clamp the mold box conveyed on the lower layer, ensuring that it is completely separated from the conveyor belt surface when flipped to the upper layer. This avoids dead corners for cleaning or drying caused by the belt surface obstructing the view, and provides unobstructed operating space for subsequent processing, solving the technical pain point of "mold and belt surface not fitting together and insufficient processing" in traditional conveying.

[0013] Meanwhile, the push plate assembly enables automatic clamping and releasing of the clamping component. Compared to traditional electric or pneumatic control, which is inconvenient for wiring connections due to the clamping component always being in a rotating state, thus making automatic clamping and releasing impossible, the push plate assembly can achieve automatic clamping and releasing. This not only reduces costs but also avoids some problems that may arise from program errors in electric or pneumatic control. Attached Figure Description

[0017] As described in the background section, when existing dried egg molds are conveyed on a conveyor belt for automated cleaning and drying, whether they are placed upright or upside down on the conveyor belt, there are blind spots in the cleaning and drying process (i.e., the part where the bottom of the mold contacts the surface of the conveyor belt), which affects the quality of cleaning and drying.

[0018] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the appendix for solutions to these problems. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an egg mold box conveying and flipping mechanism, including a first conveyor belt 1 and adjustable guide rods 2 on both sides of the top. The second conveyor belt 5 is positioned above the first conveyor belt 1 and maintains the same conveying direction as the first conveyor belt 1; Several clamping components are evenly distributed above the surface of the second conveyor belt 5 to clamp the material conveyed on the first conveyor belt 1 so as to achieve upward flipping and conveying. The push plate assembly is located below both ends of the second conveyor belt 5 to drive the clamping assembly to clamp and release the material.

[0019] In this embodiment, the guide rod 2 is parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 1. Adjustment seats 3 are provided on the top of the frame on both sides of the first conveyor belt 1. The adjustment seats 3 are provided with mounting blocks that are adjusted by screws. The guide rod 2 is fixed to the side of the mounting block and adjusted by screws. The installation and adjustment mechanism of the guide rod can refer to the existing conventional guide plate structure on both sides of the conveyor belt, which is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] Please see the appendix Figure 4 ~Appendix Figure 7 In this embodiment, support plates 4 are also provided above the two side frames of the first conveyor belt 1, the second conveyor belt 5 is tensioned at the outer end of the rotating shaft between the gaps of the support plates 4, and an installation rod 7 is provided on the outside of the second conveyor belt 5, and the clamping assembly is installed on the outside of the installation rod 7.

[0021] In this embodiment, each clamping assembly includes a clamping plate 6 arranged opposite to each other. The clamping plate 6 is rotated by being disposed through the middle of the outer end of the mounting rod 7. A torsion spring is also provided between the clamping plate 6 and the mounting rod 7. A roller 8 is provided at the outer end of the clamping plate 6 near the feeding direction of the first conveyor belt 1 at the bottom of the second conveyor belt 5. A soft rubber layer is provided on the inner side of the other end of the clamping plate 6. The soft rubber layer facilitates contact with the outside of the egg mold to form a clamping action, while ensuring that the clamping action will not cause it to fall off.

[0022] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 9 is also provided between the support plates 4 on the same side of the first conveyor belt 1. The push plate assembly is installed on the inner end of the connecting plate 9. The push plate assembly specifically includes a fixed push plate 10 and a movable push plate 11. The fixed push plate 10 is installed on the end of the connecting plate 9 near the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 1, and the movable push plate 11 is installed on the other end of the connecting plate 9.

[0023] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 7 ~Appendix Figure 9 In this embodiment, the inner surface of the fixed push plate 10 is an inclined surface, and its lowest end is close to the end of the connecting plate 9 near the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 1. One end of the movable push plate 11 is rotatably disposed on the inner surface of the connecting plate 9, and the other end is fixed or adjusted by a clamping component preset on the outer side of the end of the connecting plate 9, so that the movable push plate 11 is inclinedly disposed on the inner surface of the connecting plate 9 and the lowest end is a hinge end and close to the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 1. The roller 8 at the outer end of the clamping plate 6 contacts the inclined surface of the fixed push plate 10 or the inner surface of the movable push plate 11 to push the clamping plate 6 to compress the torsion spring to rotate around the mounting rod 7 to achieve clamping and releasing.

[0024] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 In this embodiment, an mounting plate 12 is provided between the inner side gap of the movable push plate 11 and the connecting plate 9. The upper and lower sides of the end of the mounting plate 12 away from the feeding end of the first conveyor belt 1 are provided with hinge rods. One end of the movable push plate 11 is sleeved on the outside of the hinge rod and rotates to form a hinge end. The other end of the movable push plate 11 is provided with another hinge rod on the upper and lower sides. The clamping assembly includes a clamping screw 14 and a connecting frame 13. The connecting frame 13 is a rectangular frame with one end open and the two ends of the open end are respectively sleeved on the outside of the hinge rod of the movable push plate 11 and rotate. The closed end of the connecting frame 13 is provided on the outside of the connecting plate 9. The clamping screw 14 is threaded to the closed end of the connecting frame 13 and keeps one end pressed against the outside of the connecting plate 9. A nut is provided on the other side, which is screwed onto the outer end of the clamping screw 14 and contacts the outside of the closed end of the connecting frame 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, the movable connection of the movable push plate facilitates adjustment of the inclination between the movable push plate and the connecting plate, thereby controlling the opening and closing degree of the clamping plate when the movable push plate contacts the roller. This facilitates clamping molds of different sizes. When the mold is large, tightening the nut on the outside of the clamping screw 14 moves one end of the movable push plate away from the connecting plate, thus increasing the inclination (see attached figure). Figure 8 During clamping, the movable push plate with a large tilt angle can be used to rotate the clamping plate by a large angle, thus increasing the clamping area and enabling the clamping of large molds. When the mold is small, tightening the nut on the outside of the clamping screw 14 will bring one end of the movable push plate closer to the connecting plate, thereby increasing the tilt angle (see attached). Figure 9 ).

[0026] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the clamping components and the clamping of the packaging mold, the first conveyor belt can be configured as a belt conveyor and the second conveyor belt can be configured as a chain conveyor.

[0027] In actual use, firstly, adjust the movable push plate and guide rod 2 according to the size of the packaging mold, following the adjustment steps described above. Then, start the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 5 to move, while simultaneously placing the packaging mold evenly onto the first conveyor belt 1 for conveying. When the mold is conveyed to below the second conveyor belt 5, the end of the mold first contacts the inner wall of the clamping part of the clamping plate 6, and the mold remains fixed. At the same time, the roller 8 on the outer side of the clamping plate 6 contacts the movable push plate 11 and, under the pressure of the inclined plane, pushes the clamping plate 6 to move around the mounting rod 7, thus opening the clamping part. At this point, the mold loses the limitation of the clamping part and continues to be conveyed until the side of the mold corresponds to the clamping part. Roller 8 separates from movable push plate 11. Under the elastic action of torsion spring, movable push plate 11 reverses, clamping parts close to clamp the mold, thus clamping the mold. Then, the mold flips upward with the clamping assembly and the second conveyor belt, thus flipping and conveying. When the mold is conveyed to the discharge end of the second conveyor belt, roller 8 contacts and squeezes the fixed push plate 10, causing the clamping plate to rotate around the mounting rod until it rotates until the clamping plate is parallel. The mold in the clamping part loses the clamping force of the clamping plate and falls onto the first conveyor belt under the action of gravity and is conveyed out. After roller 8 separates from the fixed push plate, the clamping plate returns to its original position under the action of torsion spring, and the next round of mold clamping can be performed.

[0028] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
