Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-cleaning technology for automatic food delivery lines, and in particular to an automatic food delivery line with a self-cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Current conveyor belt food delivery systems do not require waiting for food carts to return to the kitchen. As soon as customers take their meals from the conveyor belt, the system can be continuously delivered to other customers, alleviating the situation where food carts cannot deliver in time during peak periods and allowing customers to eat their meals as soon as possible. However, due to the long distance of the conveyor belt, it is time-consuming and laborious for operators to wipe the entire belt during routine maintenance and cleaning. Not wiping it reduces the quality of the food and is also detrimental to the restaurant environment. Therefore, we have proposed an automatic food delivery line with a self-cleaning mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic food delivery line with a self-cleaning mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic food delivery line with a self-cleaning mechanism includes two support plates and a conveyor belt. A connecting plate is fixed between the two support plates. A hydraulic telescopic mechanism is installed at the upper end of the L-shaped support frame. An mounting plate is detachably installed at the lower end of the hydraulic telescopic mechanism. A dust suction structure is installed on one mounting plate and an adhesion structure is installed on the other mounting plate.

[0006] The dust collection structure includes a fixed tube fixed to the upper end of one of the mounting plates, two dust collection covers are detachably installed at the lower end of the fixed tube, an air suction pipe is connected to the middle of the upper end of the fixed tube, and a vacuum cleaner is connected to the lower end of the air suction pipe.

[0007] The adhesion structure includes a mounting bracket fixed to the lower end of another mounting plate. A servo motor is mounted on one side of the mounting bracket. A rotating roller is rotatably connected between opposite sidewalls of the mounting bracket. The output shaft of the servo motor passes through the sidewall of the mounting bracket and is connected to one side of the rotating roller. An adhesion layer is coated on one circumference of the rotating roller.

[0008] Preferably, the hydraulic telescopic mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder fixed to the upper end of the L-shaped support frame, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder passing through the side wall of the L-shaped support frame and extending to the lower end of the L-shaped support frame, a movable block being fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, and the mounting plate being detachably mounted on one side of the movable block.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0024] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0025] Some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 An automatic food delivery line with a self-cleaning mechanism includes two support plates 101 and a conveyor belt 104. A connecting plate 103 is fixed between the two support plates 101. A hydraulic telescopic mechanism is installed at the upper end of an L-shaped support frame 301. An mounting plate 304 is detachably installed at the lower end of the hydraulic telescopic mechanism. A dust suction structure is installed on one mounting plate 304, and an adhesion structure is installed on the other mounting plate 304.

[0027] The vacuuming structure includes a fixed tube 203 fixed to the upper end of one of the mounting plates 304. Two vacuum hoods 204 are detachably installed at the lower end of the fixed tube 203. An air suction pipe 202 is connected to the middle of the upper end of the fixed tube 203. A vacuum cleaner 201 is connected to the lower end of the air suction pipe 202. The design of the double vacuum hoods 204 can cover a wider cleaning area, maximize vacuuming efficiency under non-contact conditions, and reduce airflow escape.

[0028] The adhesion structure includes a mounting bracket 501 fixed to the lower end of another mounting plate 304. A servo motor 502 is mounted on one side of the mounting bracket 501. The servo motor 502 provides precise speed and torque control and can be programmed to achieve different speeds to adapt to different cleaning needs or conveyor belt speeds and forward and reverse rotations to help to evenly utilize the adhesion layer or self-clean. Its high responsiveness ensures that the cleaning roller can quickly follow or adjust.

[0029] A rotating roller 503 is rotatably connected between the opposite side walls of the mounting bracket 501. The output shaft of the servo motor 502 passes through the side wall of the mounting bracket 501 and is connected to one side of the rotating roller 503. An adhesive layer 504 is wrapped around the circumference of the side wall of the rotating roller 503. The adhesive layer 504 is made of microporous sponge with micro-adhesion and high adsorption, which can effectively remove oil stains and has a certain degree of wear resistance. It is attached with Velcro, which makes it easy to replace and clean.

[0030] The hydraulic telescopic mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 302 fixed to the upper end of the L-shaped support frame 301. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 302 passes through the side wall of the L-shaped support frame 301 and extends to the lower end of the L-shaped support frame 301. A moving block 303 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 302. A mounting plate 304 is detachably mounted on one side of the moving block 303. The mounting plate 304 is detachably mounted on one side of the moving block 303 by bolts.

[0031] One side of the L-shaped support frame 301 is provided with a guide rail 402, and a slider 401 is snapped onto the guide rail 402. One side of the slider 401 is fixed to one end of the moving block 303. The guide rail 402 and the slider 401 form a high-precision linear guide pair, ensuring that the moving block 303 and the mounting plate 304 move strictly in the vertical direction under hydraulic drive, effectively preventing lateral offset and swaying.

[0032] Both sides of the lower end of the support plate 101 are rotatably connected to casters 102, which are equipped with brake devices to ensure that the equipment remains stable during cleaning operations.

[0033] The lower end of the vacuum cleaner 201 is fixed on one of the support plates 101 and the connecting plate 103. The vacuum cleaner 201 is an industrial-grade high-power, high-vacuum centrifugal fan, equipped with a high-efficiency filter to capture fine dust and allergens, meeting the requirements of food and environmental hygiene.

[0034] Connecting pipes 205 are fixed on both sides of the lower end of the fixed pipe 203. The connecting pipes 205 penetrate the side wall of the mounting plate 304 and extend to the lower end of the mounting plate 304. The upper end of a dust hood 204 on the same side is threaded to the lower end of a connecting pipe 305 on the same side. The threaded connection ensures airtightness and facilitates disassembly and cleaning.

[0035] In this utility model, during the daily cleaning of the automatic food delivery conveyor belt:

[0036] Step 1: Quickly locate and deploy

[0037] The operator uses the mobile chassis consisting of casters 102 and bearing plate 101 to push the conveyor belt 104 to the side, so that the dust hood 204 and the adhesive layer 504 are aligned with the surface and side edge of the conveyor belt 104 respectively. The cantilever structure of the L-shaped support frame 301 avoids the main body of the conveyor belt 104, ensuring that regular meal delivery is not disturbed.

[0038] Step 2: Intelligent Height Adjustment

[0039] The hydraulic telescopic mechanism is activated via the control panel. The hydraulic cylinder 302 drives the piston rod to push the moving block 303 vertically down along the guide rail 402. The slider 401 guides and prevents deviation. The mounting plate 304 drives the dust hood 204 and the adhesive layer 504 to press down synchronously. The hydraulic system provides stable pressure so that the dust hood 204 is 1-3cm away from the belt surface (to avoid contact wear), while the adhesive layer 504 is in close contact with the belt surface (physically adsorbing stains).

[0040] Step 3: Dual-mode collaborative cleaning

[0041] The vacuuming structure is as follows: when the vacuum cleaner 201 is activated, the airflow inside the fixed tube 203 is drawn in through the suction tube 202, and then diverted to the double dust hood 204 through the connecting tube 205, thereby sucking in floating dust, debris, and dry pollutants (dust, food scraps);

[0042] The adhesive structure is driven by a servo motor 502 to rotate the roller 503 → the surface adhesive layer 504 (micro-adhesive material) rolls and rubs the surface → adsorbing oil stains, water stains, and wet contaminants (oil stains, soup);

[0043] Step 4: Reset and Maintenance

[0044] After cleaning, the hydraulic cylinder 302 lifts the assembly → removes the device → allows for the replacement of the adhesive layer 504 or cleaning of the dust hood 204.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
