[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tableware sorting and cleaning technology, specifically an automatic tableware inserting device. Background Technology
[0002] With economic development and social progress, the replacement of manual labor and the increasing automation of machinery have become inevitable and a social consensus. Various mechanical equipment are increasingly developing towards features such as energy saving, ease of use, safety, and high efficiency.
[0003] In the field of tableware cleaning and disinfection, it is often necessary to clean and disinfect a large number of plates. In this process, it is necessary to separate the stacked plates. Traditionally, plate separation is done manually. After the plates are separated, they are placed on a conveyor belt for further processing. This plate separation is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of users. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic plate-separating device that automatically separates stacked plates, solving the problem of low efficiency in manual plate separation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic dish inserting device includes a body and a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being mounted on the body, and a dish inserting assembly being fixedly mounted on the body and positioned above the conveyor belt, the dish inserting assembly being separate from the conveyor belt. The tray assembly includes two tray modules and several partitions. The two tray modules are symmetrically installed above the conveyor belt. Several partitions are evenly arranged between the two tray modules, and each partition forms a placement cavity between each pair of partitions. The tray-splitting module includes a mounting base, a drive cylinder, a push rod, and several tray-splitting mechanisms. The mounting base is fixedly installed above the conveyor belt. Several movable slots are evenly opened on the side of the mounting base near the partition. Each tray-splitting mechanism is rotatably installed in the mounting base. Each tray-splitting mechanism is adapted to each movable slot. The tray-splitting mechanism is connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder through a push rod. The other end of the drive cylinder is hinged to the mounting base through a rotating shaft. The disc-separating mechanism includes a fixed shaft, a push plate, a support plate, a separation plate, and a limiting sleeve. The fixed shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting base. The limiting sleeve is fitted onto the lower part of the fixed shaft. One end of the push plate, support plate, and separation plate are all fixedly mounted on the fixed shaft, and all three are located above the limiting sleeve. The support plate and separation plate are offset, with the separation plate located above the support plate. The other end of the push plate is hinged to the push rod via a rotating shaft. One end of the push rod is hinged to the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder via a rotating shaft.
[0006] Furthermore, both sides of the four edges of the separation plate are beveled.
[0007] Furthermore, a first pad is provided at the bottom of the tray and the first pad is sleeved on the fixed shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, a second pad is provided between the separating plate and the support plate, and the second pad is sleeved on the fixed shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, two disc-splitting mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the placement cavity.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic cutlery inserting device, which has the following advantages: The drive cylinder of this automatic plate inserting device drives the reciprocating motion of each plate separating mechanism via a push rod. This causes the tray support and separating plate of the separating mechanism to reciprocate in sequence. When the tray support lifts the bottom of the plate stack and the separating plate inserts into the gap between two plates to separate them, the tray support leaves the bottom of the plate stack, allowing the bottom plate to fall onto the conveyor belt for transport. Then, the tray support returns to its original position and lifts the plate stack, and the separating plate leaves the plate stack. By repeating the above process, stacked plates can be separated continuously, effectively improving the plate separation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides the following technical solution: An automatic plate inserting device includes a body 1 and a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the body 1, and the body 1 serves as the mounting frame for the device. The conveyor belt 2 is used to transport separated plates to the next processing step. The device also includes a plate inserting assembly, which is fixedly mounted on the body 1 and positioned directly above the conveyor belt 2. The plate inserting assembly is used to separate stacked plates. The plate inserting assembly is separate from the conveyor belt, allowing the separated plates to fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt 2 and be transported to the next processing step. The tray insertion assembly includes two tray modules and several partitions 4. The two tray modules are symmetrically installed above the conveyor belt 2, so that the two tray modules can simultaneously separate the two sides of the tray, resulting in better tray separation efficiency and effect. Several partitions 4 are evenly arranged between the two tray modules, and each pair of partitions 4 forms a placement cavity 41. The tray stack is placed in the placement cavity 41 and supported by the two tray modules. The tray-separating module includes a mounting base 3, a drive cylinder 5, a push rod 6, and several tray-separating mechanisms 7. The mounting base 3 is fixedly installed above the conveyor belt 2 and is used to install the tray-separating mechanisms 7. Several movable slots 31 are evenly opened on the side of the mounting base 3 near the partition plate 4. Each tray-separating mechanism 7 is rotatably installed in the mounting base 3. Each tray-separating mechanism 7 is adapted to each movable slot 31, so that the tray-separating mechanism 7 can protrude from the movable slot 31 to the placement cavity 41 for supporting and separating multiple plates. Two tray-separating mechanisms 7 are respectively provided on both sides of the placement cavity 41. Through the coordinated action of the four tray-separating mechanisms 7 in the placement cavity 41, the plates can be stably supported and separated. The tray-separating mechanism 7 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder 5 through the push rod 6. The other end of the drive cylinder 5 is hinged to the mounting base 3 through a rotating shaft. The drive cylinder 5 can simultaneously push each tray-separating mechanism 7 to move through the push rod 6.
[0015] The plate-separating mechanism 7 includes a fixed shaft 71, a push plate 72, a support plate 73, a separating plate 74, and a limiting sleeve 77. The fixed shaft 71 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 3. The limiting sleeve 77 is fitted onto the lower part of the fixed shaft 71. One end of the push plate 72, support plate 73, and separating plate 74 are all fixedly mounted on the fixed shaft 71, and all three are located above the limiting sleeve 77. The fixed shaft 71 can move synchronously with the push plate 72, support plate 73, and separating plate 74. The limiting sleeve 77 is used to elevate the positions of the support plate 73 and separating plate 74 to facilitate the support and separation of plates. The support plate 73 and separating plate 74 are offset, with the separating plate 74 located above the support plate 73, so that the support plate 73 can support the bottom of the plate. The separating plate 74 can be inserted into the gap between two plates. The arrangement ensures that the two do not interfere with each other's work. When the tray 73 supports the bottom of the plate stack, the separating plate 74 retracts into the mounting base 3. When the separating plate 74 is inserted into the gap between the two bottom plates of the plate stack, the separating plate 74 supports the upper plate stack, the tray 73 retracts into the mounting base 3, and the bottom plate can fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt 2. The other end of the push plate 72 is hinged to the push rod 6 through a pivot. One end of the push rod 6 is hinged to the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder 5 through a pivot. When the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder 5 extends or retracts, it can drive the fixed shaft 71 to rotate through the push rod 6 and the push plate 72, thereby causing the fixed shaft 71 to drive the tray 73 and the separating plate 74 to move. Other drive devices can be used to replace the drive cylinder 5 to drive the push rod 6.
[0016] The separating plate 74 has beveled edges on both sides, making the edges of the separating plate 74 beveled, which makes it easier for the separating plate 74 to be inserted into the gap between the plates.
[0017] The bottom of the tray 73 is provided with a first pad 75 and the first pad 75 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 71. By setting different numbers or different thicknesses of the first pad 75, the lifting height of the tray 73 on the plate can be adjusted.
[0018] A second pad 76 is provided between the separating plate 74 and the tray 73, and the second pad 76 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 71. By setting different numbers or thicknesses of the second pads 76, the position between the separating plate 74 and the tray 73 can be set to accommodate plates of different heights.
[0019] The specific implementation process is as follows: When using this automatic plate inserting device, first place the stacked plates on the respective placement slots so that the tray 73 supports the plate stack. Then, start the device, and the extension rod of the drive cylinder 5 extends. The extension rod of the drive cylinder 5 drives the push plate 72 of each plate separating mechanism 7 to swing through the push rod 6. The push plate 72 drives the fixed shaft 71 to rotate, and the fixed shaft 71 drives the separating plate 74 and the tray 73 to swing. This causes the tray 73 to retract into the mounting base 3 at the movable slot 31. At the same time, the separating plate 74 inserts into the gap between the two bottom plates of the plate stack and supports the plate stack above it. The bottom plate falls onto the conveyor belt 2 and is conveyed to the next processing step. Then, the drive cylinder 5 resets, which in turn drives the plate separating mechanism 7 to reset, so that the tray 73 supports the plate stack again, and the separating plate 74 retracts into the mounting base 3. Repeat the above process to continuously separate the plate stack.
[0020] The drive cylinder 5 of this automatic plate inserting device drives the plate separating mechanism 7 to reciprocate through the push rod 6. This causes the support plate 73 and the separating plate 74 of the plate separating mechanism 7 to reciprocate in sequence. When the support plate 73 holds the bottom of the plate stack and the separating plate 74 is inserted into the gap between two plates to separate them, the support plate 73 leaves the bottom of the plate stack, allowing the bottom plate of the plate stack to fall onto the conveyor belt 2 for transport. Then, the support plate 73 returns to its original position and holds the plate stack, and the separating plate 4 leaves the plate stack. By repeating the above process, the stacked plates can be separated continuously, effectively improving the plate separation efficiency.
