Description

1 TARIFF A cheese mold designed to make it easy to remove cheese from its molds. DISMANTLING UNIT Technological Field: The invention is used in cheese production facilities, particularly for the production of hard cheeses such as Kashar cheese. They can be easily removed from the molds in which they were produced without deformation. It relates to a cheese removal unit that provides 10 State of the Art: Hard cheeses are filled into molds within mold groups on the production line. It is produced. Kashar cheese is an example of these hard cheeses. The cheeses are produced in the desired quantity. Once they reach the desired consistency, they are removed from the molds and sent to the packaging unit. The cheeses are removed from the molds using cheese removal units. In cheese removal units, the cheeses inside the molds are removed by vacuum robots. They are picked up and directed to the packaging unit. The robot's vacuum suction cups, 20 They grasp the cheeses from the open surface of the mold and pull them out of the molds. It separates them. In some cases and under certain conditions, cheeses are placed in molds. They can get stuck, in which case the cheeses need to be removed from the molds. strains during processing and deformities on the cheese surface This can be observed. The main reason for this is that the cheese adheres to the base surface of the mold at 25°C. It is caused by sticking. The utility model numbered 2019 / 04050 was found in the literature review. The document mentions a cheese production facility. The cheese mentioned... In the production facility, there is a 30-inch machine designed to separate the cheeses from the molds without deforming them. No solution method is included. 2 In conclusion, the known state of the art has been surpassed and its disadvantages have been overcome. A new cheese removal unit is needed. Brief Description of the Invention: An invention surpasses the prior art, overcomes its disadvantages, and adds to it. It is a cheese removal unit that offers additional advantages. The invention aims to remove cheese from molds using robots with suction cups. During this process, air enters the holes in the base surface of the molds where the cheeses are placed. by blowing on it, the cheese separates easily from the base surface of the mold. The goal is to develop a new cheese-removal unit to support this. Another purpose of the invention is to allow cheeses to be easily removed from molds without deformation. The goal is to ensure that it can be removed without any problems. 15 Another aim of the invention is to speed up the time it takes for cheese to separate from the molds. Explaining the Figures: The invention will be described by reference to the attached figures, so that the invention Its features will be understood more clearly. However, the purpose of this invention is not this specific one. It is not about limiting it with regulations. On the contrary, the invention's accompanying claims all alternatives and modifications that can be included within the area defined by it and the inclusion of their equivalencies is also intended. The details shown are only for 25 It is shown for the purpose of describing the preferred arrangements of the present invention and both the shaping of methods and the rules and concepts of invention to provide the most useful and easily understandable description of its properties It should be understood that they are presented in these drawings; Figure 1 - Perspective view of the cheese-removing unit, which is the subject of the invention.

This is explained with examples. 5 The system described in the invention is a movable conveyor on a cheese removal unit (1). The mold groups (10) are transported with the systems. The mold groups (10) are numerous. It contains molds (11), each mold (11) contains hard cheese. The cheese in question is a mold (11) with suction cups, not shown in the figures. The cheese is picked up by robots and directed to the packaging unit. When the molds (11) are empty, the conveyor moves forward, and the molds are ready for disassembly. New mold group (10) containing cheese to cheese removal unit (10) conveyors It is obtained. The cycle continues in this way. The feature of the invention is that the cheese molds have holes made in the base surface (11). (111), blowing air into the mold (11) the cheese and the mold (11) base surface It is to separate them from each other. The holes (111) on the base surface of the mold (11) are shown in Figure 2. It is seen. In the invention, the mold (11) is blown into the holes (111) on the base surface as shown in Figure 4. Air is blown through group (20). Each mold in group (10) Blowing group (20) containing one nozzle (23) for (11), through nozzles (23) The mold (11) blows air into the holes (111) at the base. The mentioned blowing Although the group (20) contains one nozzle (23) for each mold (11), this number varies 25 It can demonstrate this. In the invention, the blowing group (20) consists of a number of blowing units mounted on a main plate (21). It includes nozzles (23). The aforementioned nozzles (23) are, as previously stated, blowing air through holes (111) in the base of the mold (11), cheese and mold (11) 30 by preventing or reducing the sticking between the base and the cheese coming out of the mold (11) This facilitates separation. This can be seen in Figure 3. In the invention... blowing group (20) mold group (10) to perform blowing operation It can move linearly in both directions, and in the opposite direction; this movement is electrical. This is provided by a hydraulic or pneumatic driven motion group (22). In the invention The air blown by the nozzles (23) is located in the blowing unit (1) or an external part from an air reservoir, with pneumatic units and hose-like equipment 5 is supplied. Figure 6 shows the exploded assembly view of a nozzle (23) included in the invention. It is given. In the nozzle (23) which is the subject of the invention, the spring (235) element is quite important. The function of the broadcast (235) is to blow air into the mold (11) hole (111) of the nozzle (23) 10 The purpose is to create a pressure force to ensure a leak-proof seal. This invention aims to achieve this. additional sealing elements (234) and external sealing to perform A blower head (239) with its elements is used. In the invention, the nozzle (23) is mounted on a centering shaft (231) 15 It consists of equipment. Air inside the centering shaft (231) There is sufficient space for transmission. In the invention, the nozzle (23) is attached to the main plate (21) on top It is centered and placed with the centering element (233), nuts (232) It is fixed at the top and bottom with the help of a blower. The blower included in the invention The header (239) fits tightly into the hole (111) in the base of the mold (11), air 20 air coming from the reservoir and passing through the centering shaft (231) hole (111) It transfers the material from inside to the mold (11). The mentioned blowing head (239) is an external It contains a sealing element (234) so ​​that air can pass through without leakage. It is ensured that the blowing head (239) is transferred directly to the mold (11). (11) holding firmly to the base of the previously mentioned spring (235) compression 25 It is caused by the force. The mentioned spring (235) centering shaft (231) It is placed on a spring centering element (237). In the invention Nozzles (23) are positioned movably on the main plate (21). Main plate (21) moves linearly with the moving group (22) towards the mold (11) When lifted, the blowing head (239) contacts the mold (11), in which case the spring 30 (235) is compressed. The movement resulting from the compression of the spring (235) is a limit (236) 6 It is limited by a pipe, the mentioned limit pipe (236) with a bushing (238) It is placed on the centering shaft (231). 10 20 30
