Description

Be arranged in the temperature of articles treatment facility on carriage or the similarity piece

Technical field

[01] the present invention relates to be arranged in temperature of articles treatment facility on carriage or the similarity piece.

[02] the present invention is mainly used in and is cooling or heat insulating products, the particularly manufacturing of the treatment facility of agricultural production food processing industry field goods.

Background technology

[03] still, although be used in particular for this application, described treatment facility also can be used for other to be used, especially again or much heating of the goods in other field of food processing field.

[04] so-called carriage or similarity piece should be understood to storing and control especially by the supporter of stacked goods of any kind in the remainder of present patent application.As an example, it can relate to the two-sided carriage of bilateral, single face herringbone beam type carriage, square formula or herringbone beam type four-way carriage, reversible herringbone beam type or square formula, riveted type, nail stationary carriage, four-way day care frame.

[05] obvious, these carriages can have length variable and width, and the height of the group body that is formed by the goods on the carriage also can have sizable variation, especially, one group of board at the nursery frame and day care frame are all entered in the Temperature Treatment equipment.

[06] the temperature of articles treatment facility that places on the carriage has been arranged on the market.

[07] in general, these equipment have at least one chamber, carriage introducing device and transmit the conveying device of carriage, and these conveying devices especially can be realized by conveyer belt.

[08] these equipment also have air-blast device, and it can make the air carriage of flowing through, especially in cradle heating, cooling again or insulation.

[09] common, air-blast device is made of the blower fan that forms air movement, and these blower fans cooperate with battery pack, can heat or cool off described air.

[10] in some equipment, in order to cool off the carriage of the equipment that passes equably, setting is furnished with a plurality of chambers of air-blast device, so that from a chamber to the alternately air blast of another chamber, for example, in a chamber with respect to the throughput direction air blast from left to right of carriage, and right-to-left air blast in another chamber.

[11] the treatment facility tool on the market has an enormous advantage, and especially can handle continuous carriage.

[12] still, equipment has different defectives, wherein, difficulty be critically to check with bracket on temperature of articles.

[13] in addition, another defective of this treatment facility is that air conduction is bad in the equipment.

[14] in fact, effective for making equipment, the air that must make maximum is by goods, to obtain good heat exchange.Yet in view of the free space between the ceiling of the top of carriage and equipment, most of air passes through on carriage, thereby has reduced the cooling capacity of equipment.

[15], proposed between the top of the ceiling of equipment and carriage, to arrange fixing screening screen in order to remedy these defectives; But this solution is also unsatisfactory, shields the goods that may damage on the carriage because rigidity hides, and goods are come off.

[16] another defective is, the carriage that is input in the equipment may not have identical height, and described screening screen only can be reduced to the position of high carriage at most, therefore has very big free space on minimum carriage all the time.

[17] it is also important that and to emphasize that this screening screen system is difficult for being in place,, must manually adjust the height that this screening is shielded according to the predictable maximum height of the carriage in should access arrangement because before a series of carriages are carried out any processing.

[18] last, another defective of these normally used equipment is: lack sealing between the chamber itself, when the air-blast device of each chamber is opposed, this is unfavorable especially, because in a chamber, form negative pressure, and overvoltage just appears in relative chamber, thus make air directly introduce second chamber from a chamber, thereby this air does not pass carriage and therefore unhelpful.

[19] in view of these defectives, these treatment facility energy-saving efficiencies in the market are low, regulate the temperature of articles that places on the carriage unsatisfactorily.

Summary of the invention

[20] the present invention is intended to remedy aforementioned disadvantages, proposes a kind of products temperature treatment facility, but its limit air " shunting ", thus the energy-saving efficiency of raising equipment.

[21] another object of the present invention also is intended to propose a kind of temperature of articles treatment facility that places on the carriage, and it can eliminate and/or limit considerably the free space between each carriage and the equipment ceiling.

[22] another object of the present invention also is intended to propose a kind of products temperature treatment facility, and it can be handled with the very large carriage of height change in a series of, and for example, the existing frame of boarding at the nursery has the day care frame again.

[23] another object of the present invention also is intended to propose a kind of temperature of articles treatment facility that places on the carriage, and wherein, all operations carries out automatically.

[24] therefore, the objective of the invention is to propose to place the temperature of articles treatment facility on carriage or the similarity piece, this Temperature Treatment equipment has at least one chamber, carriage introducing device, makes carriage pass the air-blast device that places the goods on the carriage in the conveying device that transmits between the entrance and exit, blow air.

[25] according to the present invention, described Temperature Treatment equipment also has liftable vertical spacer assembly, described vertical spacer assembly arranged by the main shaft of described at least one chamber substantially, can stop air to circulate between the ceiling that is the upper surface that is put in each carriage in the described chamber and described at least one chamber.

The specific embodiment

[35] particularly with reference to Fig. 1, it illustrates the Temperature Treatment equipment 1 of the goods 2 that are arranged on carriage 3 or the similarity piece.

[36] this equipment 1 has the carriage introducing device, and described introducing device is not shown on accompanying drawing, and is that those skilled in the art are widely known.

[37] equipment 1 also has and makes carriage in the conveying device 5 that transmits between the entrance and exit of equipment 1 and make the flow through air-blast device 6 of the goods 2 on the carriage 3 of air.

[38] according to the present invention, equipment 1 also has liftable vertical spacer assembly 7.

[39] air circulation between the ceiling 9 of the upper surface 8 of each carriage 3 and described at least one chamber 4 is arranged, and can be stoped to spacer assembly 7 substantially by the main shaft of described at least one chamber.

[40] advantageously, vertically spacer assembly 7 occupies the whole length of chamber 4, will set vertical spacer assembly 7 at each chamber 4 place.

[41] obvious, according to other embodiments, can consider that also some chamber 4 does not dispose vertical spacer assembly 7, for example, be called last chamber of exporting chamber.

[42] specifically particularly with reference to Fig. 2 and 3, can see that vertical spacer assembly 7 has moving-member 10, described moving-member 10 can arrange that flexure member 11 is with the sealing between the upper surface 8 of guaranteeing ceiling 9 and each carriage 3.

[43] more precisely, moving-member 10 can promote these flexure members 11 or they are laid and put in place.

[44] according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 to 4, flexure member 11 is arranged to two rows.If air-blast device is configured in each side of carriage 3, perhaps have the surface that strengthens sealing in order to constitute, so, this layout advantageous particularly.

[45] still, also can consider to implement only to have vertical spacer assembly 7 of single flexure member 11.

[46] according to a preferred implementation of the present invention, pipe 12 and outer tube 13 these two pipes in moving-member 10 has, outer tube 13 supporting flexure members 11, interior pipe 12 supporting clips (taquet) 14, the rise of clip 14 causes outer tube 13 to rotate and flexure member 11 rises.

[47] as shown in Figure 4, flexure member 11 is in extended position, and this extended position is corresponding to the low level of clip 14, and two pipes 12 and 13 freely rotate between them; By reducing clip 14, just enter low level from a high position, pipe 13 is pivoted by the axle that the weight of member 11 drives around it.

[48] realize entering a high position from low level by implementing to rotate at pipe 12 places, clip 14 causes flexure member 11 to rise by being bearing on the flexure member 11.

[49] flexure member 11 particularly can be made of the feeler body, especially as shown in Figure 4.

[50] still, this is a non-limiting example, and also available lath is implemented these flexure members.

[51] in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 to 4, the feeler body that constitutes flexure member 11 is independently of one another.In case these flexure members 11 are in place, this feature just can be eliminated the free space between each upper surface 8 of ceiling 9 and each carriage.Stop when in fact, each flexure member 11 only touches the upper surface 8 of carriage in its end.

[52] structure that constitutes by lath or feeler body in view of these flexure members 11, its with upper surface 8 contact thereby very slight, can not damage the goods that may itself constitute the upper surface 8 of carriage.

[53] according to of the present invention one favourable embodiment, also can consider: these flexure members 11 are connected to each other at an upper portion thereof, thereby form complete air-locked curtain body.

[54] this top is positioned to, and its lower end is arranged on the upper surface 8 of the highest carriage 3 that is located at chamber 4 all the time.

Must be pointed out also that [55] described vertical spacer assembly 7 also has the control assembly 15 that can drive moving-member 10, described control assembly 15 is especially realized by pressurized strut.

[56] obviously, also can use the control and the tracker action of other possible moving-member 10 known in those skilled in the art.

[57] it is also important that and will point out: the operation of the operation of moving-member 10 and conveying device 5 takes place simultaneously.

[58] in fact, before conveying device 5 movable support brackets 3, preferably the moving-member 10 of mobile flexure member 11 is lifted.

[59] when bracket conveying device 5 stops, moving-member 10 is started and makes clip 14 be positioned at low level, thereby can be with flexure member 11 by on the upper surface 8 that is placed on carriage 3.

[60] specifically with reference to Fig. 5 to 9, it illustrates second embodiment of vertical spacer assembly 7.

[61] in this embodiment, vertically spacer assembly 7 has driving shaft 20, and described driving shaft is furnished with keeper 21 and can drives articulated jib 22 along the rising direction, as shown in Figure 5.

[62] vertically spacer assembly 7 also has at least one sealing screening screen 23 that is connected in articulated jib 22.

[63] specifically particularly with reference to Fig. 8, it is shown specifically keeper 21, and keeper 21 has the clip 24 that is arranged on the driving shaft 20, and each clip matches with the proximal end 25 of articulated jib 22.

[64] therefore as shown in Figure 8, under the situation of rotating with the corresponding direction of the rising direction that hides screen 23, clip 24 leans against retaining on the end 25 of articulated jib, causes its rising at driving shaft.

[65] specifically mainly with reference to Fig. 7, it illustrates arm 22 and has articulated elements, and articulated elements is positioned to following row's part 22 ＇ of articulated jib 22 can be with respect to last row part promptly 22 " part raise, on arrange part 22 " itself can with respect to part 22 " ' raise.

[66] this feature advantageous particularly, because make arm 22 when the goods direction is put down when driving shaft 20, this feature allows to hide distribution of forces that 23 pairs of goods of screen apply on the lower surface of the distal end 26 of articulated jib 22.

[67] therefore, the active force that following row partly can distribute the screening screen that goods are applied on big surface with respect to last row rise partly, and thereby even can avoid the goods that stored and transported by carriage are caused any damage.

[68] use whole articulated jibs independent of each other, also can compensate the discrepancy in elevation of carriage; In fact, when articulated jib 22 descended, clip 24 keeping arms 22 stopped on carriage until it, be rotated further then, and make arm 22 in place in the final stage that descends, when the rotation of axle 20 finished, the distal end 26 of all arms 22 all contacted with goods by the carriage storing.

[69] according to the feature of passage, can use dissimilar articulated jib 22, especially shown in Fig. 9 a, 9b and 9c, can use have one, the articulated jib 22 of two or three articulated elements.

[70] size between the articulated jib 22 is determined or is transformable at interval, and especially, articulated jib can be separated by 20 centimetres to 100 centimetres on described driving shaft 20.

[71], be important to note that driving shaft 20 advantageously imposes rotation by the control assembly 27 with pressurized strut to this.

[72] obvious, in those skilled in the art's scope in power, also can consider other embodiment of control assembly 27.

[73] according to a feature of the present invention, arm 22 is connected in and hides screen 23, advantageously, hides screen 23 and has the bag 30 that allows to introduce articulated jib 22.

[74] according to a favourable embodiment, the connection that arm 22 and sealing hide between the screen 23 is dismountable.

[75] still, in other embodiments, can consider that the assembling in bag 30 is fixed, perhaps arm 22 is not fixed in the bag 30, hides on the surface of screen 23 but be fixed on sealing.

[76] to have angular travel in order allowing between the arm 22, to hide the screen place in sealing bellows type folding portion 28 is set, these bellows type folding portions are arranged between the bag 30.

[77] advantageously, these bellows type folding portions 28 have towards the shape of the bottom 29 direction enlargings that hide screen 23.

[78] this feature can allow to arrange that two adjacent articulated jib 22, especially differences in height with differing heights are 20 centimetres to 1 meter, thereby the also top of salable equipment, even when carriage has very big difference in height.

[79] according to the present invention, also set additional isolation device 16, it substantially vertically is arranged in the end of vertical spacer assembly 7, and can stop air to circulate between two chambers 4 at the place, top.

[80] described additional isolation device 16 has additional moving-member 17 and gate (guillotine) 18, and additional moving-member 17 can make gate 18 in the operating position of putting down with lift and carry out translation between the position and move.

[81] Fig. 1 and 4 illustrates gate 18 and is arranged in the operating position, i.e. its bottom contact or the close upper surface 8 of vertically arranged carriage with it.

[82] according to a preferred implementation, additional moving-member 17 is synchronous with the moving-member 10 of flexure member 11.

[83] especially can be adapted to, moving-

member

10 and 17 is by

control assembly

15,27 starts.

[84] vertically the connection between spacer assembly 7 and the additional isolation device 16 can be guaranteed all tops, promptly be positioned at the excellent sealing of the part on the upper surface 8 of carriage 3.

[85] therefore, so the treatment facility performance of configuration is good especially, because must be forced to the carriage 3 of flowing through from the air of air-blast device 6.

[86] according to of the present invention one favourable selection scheme, also configurable side-sealing device 19.

[87] for this reason, can consider: carriage 3 is introduced in the equipment 1, in any case make these carriages form the side alignment of a reference surface.

[88] in view of difference or be the orientation of carriage, perhaps be the size of these carriages 3, the side relative with the side of aliging presents skew, thus have air can be through the space of this discharge.

[89] according to described favourable embodiment, side-sealing device 19 can be filled up this space, especially advantageously locates in the end of chamber 4.

[90] described sealing device 19 can have sliding door 20, and these sliding doors are arranged to the main shaft perpendicular to each chamber 4 substantially.

[91] herein, these side-sealing devices 19 will be synchronous with conveying device 5, and door is towards chamber 4 inner moving when conveying device 5 stops, and vice versa, and before conveying device 5 was carried out any moving, door slided in the wall of equipment 1.

[92] these side-sealing devices 19 also can improve the energy-saving efficiency of treatment facility 1.

[93] they also can especially in the equipment course of work, make operating personnel be easy to touch device interior when going wrong.For this reason, can be at device external Configuration Control Board spare, its permission equipment 1 all door 20 is opened and/or is closed.

[94] obvious, in prior art personnel scope in power, can consider other embodiment, and this can not exceed the scope of the present invention that following claims limit equally yet.
