Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waffle production equipment, specifically to a waffle flipping and stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional waffle layering production relies heavily on manual labor. Workers first remove the baked single-layer waffle from the conveyor belt, then manually flip it and place it on top of another layer. This manual operation has several significant drawbacks: First, it is inefficient and cannot keep pace with modern continuous production lines, becoming a bottleneck for capacity expansion; second, manual handling of the waffles poses potential food safety and hygiene risks; third, the freshly baked waffles are very hot, easily causing burns to workers, and the working environment is relatively harsh; finally, the precision of manual flipping and stacking is difficult to guarantee, easily leading to misalignment, deformation, or damage, affecting the neatness and appearance of the final product.

[0003] Therefore, given the problems with production efficiency and food safety in the existing technologies, there is an urgent need for a device that is reasonably designed, operates smoothly, and can efficiently and accurately complete the automatic flipping and stacking of waffles.

[0032] Guide column 7. Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following will describe the implementation of this utility model in detail with reference to specific embodiments, so that the process of how this utility model uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0034] Example: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a waffle flipping and stacking device includes:

[0035] The bracket 1 includes a first bracket 2 and a second bracket 3 arranged at intervals, and the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 are connected on both sides by a connecting rod 11;

[0036] The dough conveyor belt 4 is located below the support frame 1;

[0037] A pushing component 5 is disposed between the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3. The pushing component 5 includes a first pushing cylinder 51 disposed on the first bracket 2, a sliding block 52 disposed on each of the connecting rods 11, a pushing plate 53 disposed between each of the sliding blocks 52, a second pushing cylinder 54 disposed on the pushing plate 53, and a crossbar 55 disposed at the driving end of the second pushing cylinder 54. The driving end of the first pushing cylinder 51 is connected to the pushing plate 53.

[0038] A flipping component 6 is disposed on the second support 3. The flipping component 6 includes a flipping cylinder 61 disposed on the top of the second support 3, a lifting frame 62 disposed below the second support 3, a push-pull rack 63 passing through the lifting frame 62, a push-pull cylinder 64 disposed on one side of the lifting frame 62, a flipping gear 65 spaced apart in the lifting frame 62, a flipping block 66 connected to the flipping gear 65, and a shovel 67 connected to one side of the flipping block 66. The driving end of the flipping cylinder 61 is connected to the lifting frame 62, the driving end of the push-pull cylinder 64 is connected to the push-pull rack 63, and the push-pull rack 63 meshes with the flipping gear 65.

[0039] By working together with the pusher component 5 and the flipper component 6, the waffles on the waffle conveyor belt 4 are automatically pushed, flipped, and stacked onto another adjacent waffle, replacing the traditional dangerous and inefficient manual operation, greatly improving production efficiency and automation level. The pusher component 5 adopts a two-stage propulsion method with the first pusher cylinder 51 for horizontal feeding and the second pusher cylinder 54 for vertical pushing. The action decomposition is clear and the positioning is precise. The flipper component 6 adopts a compound action of flipper cylinder 61 to control lifting and flipping, and push-pull cylinder 64, flipper gear 65, and push-pull rack 63 to control flipping, ensuring the smoothness and precision of the flipping process.

[0040] The spatula 67 is square, and the corners of the spatula 67 are chamfered. The square spatula 67 can be used for both square and round waffle shapes, providing uniform support. The chamfered corners can effectively prevent sharp corners from scratching, puncturing or bumping the fragile edges of the waffle when inserted into or removed from the bottom of the waffle, significantly reducing the product breakage rate. The spatula 67 is made of food-grade stainless steel.

[0041] The flipping gear 65 and the flipping block 66 are coaxially arranged, while the axes of the shovel 67 and the flipping block 66 are offset. The coaxial arrangement of the flipping gear 65 and the flipping block 66 enables direct power transmission, resulting in a compact structure and avoiding unnecessary transmission chains and potential energy losses. The offset arrangement of the axes of the shovel 67 and the flipping block 66 ensures that the center of gravity of the shovel 67 (carrying the dough) is not located on the axis of rotation. During flipping, gravity will naturally act on the shovel 67, enabling it to complete the "scooping up" and "closing down" actions more smoothly and stably, making the flipping action more natural.

[0042] The push plate 53 and the top of the lifting frame 62 are provided with guide columns 7; the guide columns 7 provided for the push plate 53 and the lifting frame 62 can greatly overcome the radial shaking or deflection that may occur during the pushing and lifting process of the cylinder, and ensure that each push and flip can be accurately positioned, thereby ensuring neat stacking and high product regularity.

[0043] The push-pull rack 63 has limit blocks 631 at both ends. The limit blocks 631 at both ends of the push-pull rack 63 set the physical stroke start and end point of the reciprocating motion of the push-pull rack 63, ensuring that the start and end positions of each flipping action are fixed, thereby ensuring the absolute accuracy of the flipping angle (such as 180 degrees), avoiding serious failures such as the rack disengaging from the meshing area or hitting the cylinder due to program errors or sensor failures, and improving the reliability and safety of the whole machine.

[0044] Push blocks 56 are spaced apart on the crossbar 55. In this embodiment, the push blocks 56 are provided with arc-shaped push grooves 57. The arc-shaped push grooves 57 increase the contact area between the push blocks 56 and the edge of the circular dough, changing the pushing force from "line contact" or "point contact" to a more optimized "surface contact". The arc-shaped push grooves 57 can better "hug" the circular edge of the dough, which not only plays a positioning role and prevents the dough from deflecting during the pushing process, but also disperses the force and effectively avoids the edge of the dough breaking due to stress concentration at the pushing point.

[0045] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
