Description

Cone Feeder for Ice Cream {Cone Dispenser for Ice Cream Maker}

The present invention relates to an ice cream cone and a confectionery supply device, and more particularly, a conveyor paper containing ice cream, that is, a condensed blood in a conical shape (hereinafter referred to as confectionery) contained in a confectionery conveyor belt without damaging them. The present invention relates to an ice cream cone supply device that can be supplied in a line.

In general, the ice cream products are produced by confectionery confections lower than the height of the congee in the cone, and then filled with an appropriate amount of ice cream into the confectionery cone and then attached to the top of the cone is a circular cardboard lid.

When these ice cream products are produced in an automated line, they are first stacked on the Konji magazine and the confectionery magazine alternately and then supplied to one magazine sequentially.

In this way, conji and confectionery constitution alternately composed of one set, stacked in a magazine at a certain height and stored and supplied to the conveyor holder on the conveyor belt line. After the cone is seated on the cone holder, the conveyor belt stops by reaching the lower portion of the ice cream feeder position. At this time, an appropriate amount of ice cream is supplied from the ice cream feeder to the paper filling in the cone seated on the cone holder.

As such, after the appropriate amount of ice cream is supplied to the confectionery in the cone, the conveyor belt is transported again to reach the position of the cardboard attaching machine, and then the cone lid is supplied and adhered to the upper portion of the cone. The finished ice cream product is packaged in a predetermined quantity unit and stored in a freezer or mounted on a frozen vehicle.

As a component for constituting the automatic production line of the ice cream product produced as described above is provided a supply device for continuously supplying the Konji on the conveyor belt line. Conventional automatic automatic feeding device, the first and second support pieces are supported by the first and second support pieces to support the lower end of the cone and the upper end of the cone, which is located at the bottom of the cone and confectionery cones fed to the stacked magazine. The needle tip needle is provided so as to dig only a pair of conji and confectionery in the position between the pieces.

The needles and the first and second support pieces are interlocked by the rack and pinion to supply only a pair of cones and confectionery cones located at the lowermost end. In other words, while the needle is rotated while holding the outermost surface of the cone and the top of the cone by the first and second support pieces, only the cone and the confectionery of the position between the first and second support pieces are dug and entered. After the support piece is separated from the outer surface of the cone and scraped down, only the pair of cones and the confectionery placed at the bottom end are dropped.

After only a pair of cones and confectionery drops fall, the first support piece is returned to its original position, and then the second support piece falls from the outer surface of the cone, and both the conji and confectionery on the laminated magazine are dropped to the lower side. Is supported by. And the second support piece is returned to the original position again to support the upper end of the cone of the lowest unit.

However, in the conventional ice cream confectionery and confectionery supply device as described above, there is a problem that the needle damages the ice cream product because the needle is dug into the scratches and confectionery confectionery and consequently lowered the product value.

In particular, there is a problem that the case is often supplied with only one cone is supplied or a pair of cones are added on top of a pair of cones and confectionery, depending on the degree of the needle penetrates the cone and confectionery.

The present invention has been drawn to solve the above conventional problems.

An object of the present invention is to provide an ice cream cone supply device that can be supplied without hurting the cone of the ice cream in supplying the ice cream cone.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a confectionery supply device for ice cream that can supply the congee to the conveyor belt line exactly in a state that confectionery confectionery is contained at a time without damaging the confectionery and confectionery confectionery embedded in the confectionery.

Can be done.

Hereinafter, the ice cream cone supply apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a side view according to the present invention, reference numeral 10 in the drawing is a lamination magazine that accommodates alternately laminated confectionery made of conji (C1) and confectionery, 20 Is an upper frame for supporting the container, 30 is a side plate for vertically connecting the base (B) and the upper frame, and 40 is a cone holder for supporting the stacked cones (C1) and dropping them sequentially if necessary. , 50 is a support plate for supporting only the lowermost of the cones (C1) to open and drop if necessary, 60 is to scrape down the upper portion of the cone (C1) supported on the cone holder (40) downward. Separator.

Detailed configuration according to the above configuration will be described in detail.

1 to 3, the laminated magazine 10 has a space for accommodating the conji (C1) and the confectionery sequential stacking, usually a plurality of them are installed in a line. The magazine 10 is disposed on a plurality of through holes 21 provided on the upper surface of the upper frame 20.

The upper frame 20 is supported by the side plate 30 to a predetermined height from the base (B). The side plate 30 is supported on the base B. The side plate is provided with V-shaped long holes 31 on both sides, and the elevating lever 61, which slides up and down the separating plate 60, which will be described later, is slidably coupled to the long holes 31.

The cone holder 40 performs a function of supporting the stacked cones C1 so as not to fall down, and releases the bearing force if necessary to drop the cones.

As a configuration for implementing such an operation;

A first guider (43) having a pair of slide holes (41) at each side of the upper frame (20) and a pinion gear (42) rotatably coupled between the slide holes (41);

First and second racks 44a and 44b slidably inserted into the slide holes 41 of the first guiders 43 on both sides thereof and engaged with the pinion gear 42;

Power supply means for supplying power to reciprocate any of the racks;

When combined with the first second racks 44a and 44b, respectively, when the first second rack slides, the first and second racks 44a and 44b reciprocate a predetermined distance in cooperation with the first second racks 44a and 44b, respectively. Accordingly, it can be implemented through a link rod 48 having a plurality of cone holder 40 for holding or releasing the cone C1. Reference numeral 47 is an arm connecting the first second racks 44a and 44b and the link bar 48.

The link rods 48 are coupled to ends of the first second racks 44a and 44b which are symmetrically installed on both side guiders, and two link rods 48 are adjacent to the magazine 10. Installed to shout. The link rod 48 is attached with a semi-circular cone holder 40 surrounding the cone circumference of the cone C1 at regular intervals. When the semi-circular cone holder 40 is positioned in parallel with the corresponding cone holder 40 attached to the adjacent link rod 48, the semi-circular cone holder 40 forms a circular shape to support the cone C1, and the link rod 48 reciprocates. When the movement is performed, the semicircular circle of the cone holder 40 is rotated and released from the circumference of the cone, thereby causing the cone C1 to fall downward.

The power supply means may be any one of a cylinder operated by hydraulic pressure or pneumatic or a solenoid valve operated by a power source, but a pneumatic cylinder S1 is employed as an embodiment of the present invention. That is, the piston rod is coupled to the arm 47 connected to the first and second racks 44a and 44b on one side of the first guider 43 and the cylinder S1 body is fixed on the upper frame 20 by Is implemented.

As for the separating plate 60 for separating the cones, as shown in FIG. 4, since the cone holder 40 supporting the cone C1 is opened, the cones C1 that are lowered are stacked with each other, so that the congee includes confectionery. A detailed configuration of the support plate 50 and the separation plate 60 as to lower only (C1) will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

The support plate 50 is attached to a plurality of crossbars 51 rotatably coupled to the V-shaped holes 31 disposed on both side plates 30. The crossbar 51 penetrates through the side plate 30 to protrude to the outside and is coupled to the second pinion 57.

As a practical configuration for operating the support plate (50);

Cylinders S2 attached to both sides of the upper frame 20 at a predetermined distance from each other;

Coupled to the end of the piston rod of the cylinder and slidably coupled to a third rack 53a coupled to the upper and lower sides by a second guider 54 and a long hole 31 formed on the side plate 30. An arm 56 having a fourth rack 53b;

Rotatably coupled to the side plate 30 and coupled to a crossbar 51 having a plurality of support plates 50 on both side plates 30 to be engaged with the third and fourth racks 53a and 53b. Respective second pinion gears 57 attached thereto;

It is coupled with the fourth rack (53b) on both sides so as to slide up and down through the long hole 31, it is composed of a lifting lever 61 having a separator plate 60 on the surface.

The operation process according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, the pneumatic pressure supplied to the cylinder is supplied by the pneumatic pump.

When the piston rod is moved back and forth by the operation of the cylinder S1, the first rack 44a slides in the first guider 43 while the pinion 42 engaged with the first rack 44a rotates as the pinion 42 rotates. As a result, the second rack 44b is also slid. When each of the first and second racks 44a and 44b is slid at the same time, the arms 47 fixed to the ends of the first and second racks 44a and 44b interlock together so that the link rods 48 move closer or farther from each other. Therefore, the cone holder 40 attached to both link bars 48 by the operation of the link bar 48 is moved closer or farther from each other.

As a result, when the two cone holders 40 are close to each other, the semicircles formed at the end thereof come into contact with each other to form a circular shape (smaller than the diameter of the cone of the cone), so that the cone C1 is inserted into it even if it is inserted downward. Do not. On the contrary, when the link bar 48 is operated as described above so that the two cone holders 40 are far from each other, the cone diameter C1 falls out between the circular diameters. In this way, the cones C1 are pulled down and the stacked cones are simultaneously lowered so that the lowermost cone C1 is positioned at the inner diameter of the support plate 50, and the separator 60 is disposed on the upper end of the cone, that is, on the circumference of the cone. Is located. Since the cylinder (S2) is operated to lower the piston rod.

When the piston rod is lowered, the third and fourth racks 53a and 53b coupled to the ends thereof slide up and down along the second guider 54. In this case, the two racks 53a, 53b) will work simultaneously. That is, among the racks slidably coupled by the second guider 54 attached to the side plate 30, the third rack 53a and the fourth rack 53b reciprocate up and down at the same time, but the third rack ( 53a) moves up and down along the V-shaped long hole 31, and the fourth rack 53b rotates the second pinion gear 57. For reference, the V-shaped hole 31 may vary depending on the cone angle of the cone, but the operation of the separator 60 is slid up and down at a certain angle, that is, confectionery filled with ice cream as illustrated in FIG. In consideration of covering the upper end of the rear cone (C1) with a lid, since the diameter of the outer circumferential surface of the confectionary cone is made smaller than the outer circumferential diameter of the cone, when the separating plate 60 acts in the vertical direction, the separating plate (60) In order to prevent this, the separator is to be lowered along the same path as the angle of the cone (C1).

Therefore, when the fourth rack 53b slides up and down along the long hole 31, the lifting lever 61 connected to the rack 53b operates up and down while the separating plate attached to the lifting lever 61. 60 perform the operation of pulling down the upper portion of the cone (C1). The pinion gears 57 on both sides rotated by the third rack 53a rotate the crossbar 51 coupled to the pinion. Therefore, the cones C1 supported by the support plate 50 attached to the crossbar 51 fall downward. In this way, when the support plate 50 and the separation plate 60 are simultaneously separated from the cones C1 by the operation of the cylinders installed on both sides, the separation plate 60 hangs on the upper circumferential surface of the cones and lowers them. And cones are dropped into the conveyor cup line of the conveyor belt line as it is.

The conveyor belt line is conveyed to the ice cream injector by receiving a cone into the cone holder while repeating the movement and stop operation at regular intervals along the base by a chain connected to the drive motor.

As described in detail above, the present invention not only does not damage the cone when supplying the cone to the conveyor belt line, but also to supply the cone in a state where the confectionery is exactly contained in the loaded state of the cone through the separator plate. As a result, as in the prior art, there is no problem of falling down the cones without confections or falling down to the cones stacked on the cones.
