[0027] Example 1 like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a vermicelli gripping and conveying device for gripping and conveying vermicelli from a vermicelli cutter to a vermicelli dryer, comprising: Vermicelli conveyor belt 1, which is used to connect to the vermicelli cutter; Support frame 2 is installed on the outside or both sides of the vermicelli conveyor belt 1; The sliding mechanism 6 is mounted on the support frame 2 and extends above the vermicelli drying conveyor belt to drive the lifting mechanism 3 to move. Lifting mechanism 3 is connected to sliding mechanism 6 and is used to drive the connecting part to lift. Guide mechanism 4 is connected to lifting mechanism 3 and is used to guide powder clamping mechanism 5. The powder clamping mechanism 5 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3 and is used to clamp the powder on the powder conveyor belt 1.

[0028] The vermicelli conveyor belt 1 includes a frame 19, a drive roller 17, a driven roller 18, a drive motor 13, a transmission assembly, and a conveyor belt 11. The drive roller 17 and the driven roller 18 are spaced apart on the frame 19, and both the drive roller 17 and the driven roller 18 are rotatably connected to the frame 19. The conveyor belt 11 is wound around the drive roller 17 and the driven roller 18. The drive motor 13 is mounted on the frame 19 and is connected to the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected to the drive roller 17 for transmission.

[0029] The transmission assembly includes a first pulley 14, a second pulley 16, and a transmission belt 15. The first pulley 14 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 13, the second pulley 16 is connected to the drive roller 17, and the transmission belt 15 is wound around the first pulley 14 and the second pulley 16.

[0030] A baffle plate 12 is provided on the frame 19. The bottom of the baffle plate 12 has a gap with the conveyor belt 11, which is smaller than the thickness of the powder strips. By setting up the baffle plate, powder strips that are not clamped by the powder clamping mechanism can be intercepted, as well as some broken powder strips, making it convenient for workers to clean up and preventing them from falling directly to the ground.

[0031] The sliding mechanism 6 includes a sliding guide rail 62, a rack 63, a sliding frame 61, a first slider, a sliding motor 64, and a gear. There are two sliding guide rails 62, which are parallel and fixed to the support frame 2 at intervals. There are two first sliders, which are fixed to the bottom sides of the sliding frame 61 respectively. The two first sliders are slidably connected to the two sliding guide rails 62 respectively. The rack 63 is installed on one side of one of the sliding guide rails 62 and extends along the length of the sliding guide rail 62. The sliding motor 64 is installed on the sliding frame 61. The gear is connected to the output shaft of the sliding motor 64 and meshes with the rack 63. The lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the sliding frame 61.

[0032] The lifting mechanism 3 includes a first lifting cylinder 31 and a lifting plate 32. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the sliding frame 61, and the lifting plate 32 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder.

[0033] The guiding mechanism 4 includes a guide plate 43, guide cylinders 42, and guide rods 41. The guide plate 43 is installed on the fixed end of the lifting cylinder, and mounting holes are provided at its four corners. There are four guide cylinders 42, which are respectively installed in the four mounting holes. There are also four guide rods 41, which are slidably connected to the four guide cylinders 42 and are respectively connected to the four corners of the lifting plate 32. The guiding mechanism 4 moves up and down with the lifting plate 32 via the four guide rods 41. During the movement, the guide plate 43, in conjunction with the guide rods 41, guides the lifting plate 32 to ensure the accurate movement direction of the powder clamping mechanism 5.

[0034] The powder clamping mechanism 5 includes a first powder clamping component 515, a second powder clamping component 516, a movable cylinder 511, a fixed block 512, a first hinge plate 513, a second hinge plate 517, a second slider 514, and a slide rail 518. The movable cylinder 511 is mounted on the lifting plate 32, and the output shaft of the movable cylinder 511 is connected to the fixed block 512. One end of the first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 are respectively hinged to both ends of the fixed block 512. There are two second sliders 514. The other ends of the first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 are respectively hinged to the two second sliders 514. Both second sliders 514 are slidably connected to the slide rail 518. The first powder clamping component 515 and the second powder clamping component 516 are respectively connected to the two second sliders 514. The first powder clamping component 515 and the second powder clamping component 516 have the same structure. They can be plate-shaped or hook-shaped. If it is a plate-shaped structure, an arc-shaped groove needs to be provided at the bottom to facilitate clamping the powder. If it is a hook-shaped structure, considering that the powder may fall off when clamped by two hooks, two rows of hooks need to be provided to provide multiple force points for the powder and stabilize the clamping. The output axis of the movable cylinder 511 extends above the lifting plate 32, and the fixed block 512 extends horizontally. The first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 extend from the two sides of the fixed block 512 respectively. The slide rail 518 extends outward and downward, parallel to the fixed block 512 and located directly below the fixed block 512. When the output axis of the movable cylinder 511 moves upward, it drives the fixed block 512 to move upward. The fixed block 512 drives the first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 upward. The first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 respectively drive the second slider 514 connected to them to move closer to each other along the slide rail 518, so that the first powder clamping part 515 and the second powder clamping part 516 move closer to each other, and vice versa, they move away from each other, thus realizing the action of clamping and discharging powder.

[0035] A transmission structure 51 is formed by a movable cylinder 511, a fixed block 512, a first hinge plate 513, a second hinge plate 517, a second slider 514, and a slide rail 518. There are two transmission structures 51, spaced apart on the lifting plate 32. By setting two transmission structures 51, the stability of the first powder clamping component 515 and the second powder clamping component 516 is improved.

[0036] There are multiple powder clamping mechanisms 5, which are spaced apart on the lifting plate 32. The number of powder clamping mechanisms 5 is determined according to the powder strip pile formed by the powder cutter, so as to clamp the powder strips in the same row and pick them up and transport them into the container of the drying conveyor belt.

[0037] Working process: Before operation, the sliding mechanism 6 is reset so that the powder clamping mechanism 5 is above the preset position. After receiving the powder cut by the powder cutter, the powder conveyor belt 1 transports the powder to the preset position. The first lifting cylinder 31 of the lifting cylinder is activated, driving the lifting plate 32 to descend. The lifting plate 32 drives the powder clamping mechanism 5 to descend. During the descent, the guide mechanism 4 guides the lifting plate 32. After descending to the preset position, the movable cylinder 511 is activated, driving the fixed block 512 to move upward. The fixed block 512 drives the first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 to move upward. 7. The first lifting cylinder 31 retracts its output shaft, and the sliding motor 64 of the sliding mechanism 6 starts, driving the sliding frame 61 to move above the drying conveyor belt, so that the powder clamping mechanism 5 is located above the container of the drying conveyor belt. The output shaft of the first lifting cylinder 31 extends to the preset position, and the first hinge plate 513 and the second hinge plate 517 respectively drive the second slider 514 connected to it to move away from each other along the sliding rail 518, realizing the powder release action and completing the grasping and transportation of the powder.
