Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tableware drying, and in particular to a tableware drying equipment with automatic conveying capability. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale operation of the catering industry, the cleaning and drying of tableware is a key link in ensuring service efficiency and hygiene safety. Automated tableware drying equipment has emerged to address this need. It uses a conveyor belt to continuously feed the cleaned tableware into the drying chamber, aiming to achieve efficient and continuous batch operations, replacing traditional, inefficient manual labor.

[0003] However, when drying plates, existing equipment usually places them directly on a conveyor belt for transport. This method has certain problems: the water droplets on the surface of the plates, especially those with grooves, are difficult to remove on their own due to surface tension. Relying solely on hot air drying is not only energy-intensive and time-consuming, but also easily creates water stains in the bottom of the grooves, resulting in incomplete drying and seriously affecting the hygiene of subsequent storage and use of tableware. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated tableware drying and processing device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic tableware drying and processing device, comprising a conveyor table, wherein the conveyor table is provided with a conveying component for conveying plates, and the conveyor table is provided with two symmetrically distributed horizontal plates, wherein multiple protrusions are provided on the side of the horizontal plates away from the inner wall of the conveyor table, and multiple sets of placement components are provided on the conveying component for placing plates and cooperating with the protrusions to generate vibration, and a drying chamber is provided on the upper part of the conveyor table, wherein a drying component is provided on the drying chamber for drying the plates on the placement components.

[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the conveying assembly includes two conveying rollers rotatably arranged symmetrically on the inner side of the conveying platform, a conveying mesh belt is arranged between the two conveying rollers, a motor is arranged on the outer side of the conveying platform, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to one end of one of the conveying rollers.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the placement component includes a placement frame disposed on the conveyor belt, a plurality of connecting shafts disposed on the inner side of the placement frame, and a plurality of symmetrically distributed support rods disposed on the upper part of the placement frame.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, two symmetrically distributed grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the placement frame. A T-shaped rod is slidably arranged in the groove. A spring is provided between the inner wall of the groove and the T-shaped rod. The end of the T-shaped rod away from the spring passes through the groove and is provided with a vibration block that cooperates with the protrusion.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the drying assembly includes an air guide duct disposed at the upper part of the drying chamber, a plurality of air blowing pipes being connected to the bottom of the air guide duct, a hot air blower being disposed at the upper part of the drying chamber, an air outlet pipe being connected to the output end of the hot air blower, and the end of the air outlet pipe away from the hot air blower being connected to the air guide duct.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, multiple curtains are provided on both the left and right sides of the drying chamber.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a drain pipe is connected to the lower outer side of the conveyor platform, and a valve is provided on the drain pipe.

[0012] This utility model provides an automatic tableware drying and processing device, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: This design presents an automated tableware drying device.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution for an automatically conveying tableware drying equipment: an automatically conveying tableware drying equipment includes a conveyor table 1, a conveyor assembly 2 for conveying plates inside the conveyor table 1, two symmetrically distributed horizontal plates 3 inside the conveyor table 1, a plurality of protrusions 4 on the side of the horizontal plates 3 away from the inner wall of the conveyor table 1, a plurality of placement assemblies 5 for placing plates and cooperating with the protrusions 4 to generate vibration on the conveyor assembly 2, and a drying chamber 6 at the top of the conveyor table 1, and a drying assembly 7 for drying the plates on the placement assemblies 5 on the drying chamber 6.

[0017] Specifically, when drying tableware, the washed plates are placed stably on the placement component 5. Then, the conveying component 2 is started, which moves the plates into the drying chamber 6. Subsequently, the drying component 7 operates to dry the plates on the placement component 5.

[0018] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 2 includes two conveying rollers 21 rotatably arranged symmetrically distributed inside the conveying platform 1, a conveying mesh belt 22 is arranged between the two conveying rollers 21, and a motor 23 is arranged on the outside of the conveying platform 1. The output shaft of the motor 23 is connected to one end of one of the conveying rollers 21.

[0019] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the placement component 5 includes a placement frame 51 disposed on the conveyor belt 22, a plurality of connecting shafts 52 disposed on the inner side of the placement frame 51, and a plurality of symmetrically distributed support rods 53 disposed on the upper part of the placement frame 51.

[0020] Specifically, when drying the plates, the washed plates are placed stably between multiple support rods 53 on the upper part of the placement frame 51. The spacing and symmetrical structure of the support rods 53 provide stable support and limit the position of the plates. At this time, the plates are in contact with the connecting shaft 52. Then the motor 23 starts, and its output shaft drives the connected conveyor roller 21 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 22 between the two conveyor rollers 21 to operate synchronously. The placement component 5 moves together with the conveyor belt 22, and stably transports the plates it carries into the drying chamber 6 to prepare for subsequent drying.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the drying assembly 7 includes an air guide duct 71 located at the upper end of the drying chamber 6. Multiple air blowing pipes 72 are connected to the bottom of the air guide duct 71. A hot air blower 73 is located at the upper part of the drying chamber 6. An air outlet pipe 74 is connected to the output end of the hot air blower 73, and the end of the air outlet pipe 74 away from the hot air blower 73 is connected to the air guide duct 71.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple curtains 8 are installed on both the left and right sides of the drying chamber 6.

[0023] Specifically, after the plates are placed, the conveyor belt 22 moves the plates to the drying chamber 6. The plates push open the curtains 8 on both sides of the drying chamber 6 and enter the drying chamber 6. After entering, the curtains 8 automatically reset to reduce the leakage of hot air from the drying chamber 6 and the intrusion of cold air from the outside, ensuring a stable drying temperature inside. At this time, the hot air blower 73 starts, and the generated hot air is delivered to the air guide duct 71 at the upper end of the drying chamber 6 through the air outlet duct 74. The air guide duct 71 evenly distributes the hot air to multiple air blowing pipes 72 connected at the bottom. Hot air is continuously blown out onto the plates placed on the component 5 below through the air blowing pipes 72. The distribution design of multiple air blowing pipes 72 allows the hot air to fully cover the surface of the plates, quickly removing residual moisture from the plates and achieving efficient and uniform drying. After drying is completed, the conveyor belt 22 continues to move the plates through the curtains 8 and out of the drying chamber 6.

[0024] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, two symmetrically distributed grooves 54 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the placement frame 51. A T-shaped rod 55 is slidably arranged in the groove 54. A spring 56 is provided between the inner wall of the groove 54 and the T-shaped rod 55. The end of the T-shaped rod 55 away from the spring 56 passes through the groove 54 and is provided with a vibration block 57 that cooperates with the protrusion 4.

[0025] Specifically, as the placement frame 51 moves into the drying chamber 6 along with the conveyor belt 22, the vibrating blocks 57 on the front and rear sides of the placement frame 51 continuously contact and separate from the multiple protrusions 4 on the inner horizontal plate 3 of the conveyor table 1. When the vibrating block 57 moves to the protrusion 4, the protrusion 4 will exert a pushing force on the vibrating block 57, forcing the T-shaped rod 55 to slide inward along the groove 54 and compress the spring 56. When the vibrating block 57 disengages from the protrusion 4, the elastic potential energy of the spring 56 is released, pushing the T-shaped rod 55 to reset outward, and causing the vibrating block 57 to return to its original position. This continuous cycle of contact, compression, and reset causes the placement frame 51 to generate high-frequency slight vibration, thereby causing the plates placed on the support rod 53 to vibrate synchronously, shaking off the water droplets remaining on the surface of the plates, reducing the time required for subsequent hot air drying, and improving the overall drying efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a drain pipe 9 is connected to the lower outer side of the conveyor platform 1, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe 9.

[0027] Specifically, when the water droplets remaining on the surface of the plate are shaken off, the water droplets will drip onto the conveyor belt 22 through the gaps between the multiple connecting shafts 52 inside the placement frame 51. Some of the water droplets will drip further along the mesh of the conveyor belt 22 to the bottom of the conveyor table 1. After the equipment has been running for a period of time or the water has accumulated to a certain amount, the valve on the drain pipe 9 can be opened to quickly drain the accumulated water through the drain pipe 9.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the cleaned plate is placed stably on the upper part of the placement frame 51 of the conveyor belt 22. Multiple symmetrically distributed support rods 53 provide stable support and limit the plate. Then, the plate contacts the connecting shaft 52 on the inner side of the placement frame 51. Subsequently, the motor 23 starts and drives the conveyor roller 21 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 22 to drive the placement component 5 and the plate to move towards the drying chamber 6. After the plate pushes open the curtains 8 on both sides of the drying chamber 6 and enters the chamber, the hot air blower 73 starts. The hot air is distributed to multiple blowing nozzles through the air outlet pipe 74 and the air guide duct 71. Pipe 72 blows evenly onto the surface of the plate. During the drying process, the vibrating blocks 57 on the front and rear sides of the placement frame 51 continuously contact and separate from the protruding blocks 4 on the inner horizontal plate 3 of the conveyor table 1. When the protruding blocks 4 push the vibrating blocks 57, the T-shaped rod 55 compresses the spring 56. When they separate, the spring 56 resets and drives the T-shaped rod 55 and the vibrating blocks 57 back to their original positions, forming a high-frequency slight vibration. This causes the residual water droplets on the surface of the plate to fall off. The water droplets drip through the gap of the connecting shaft 52 and the mesh of the conveyor belt 22 to the bottom of the conveyor table 1, thereby further improving the overall drying efficiency.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
