Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of spicy snack packaging equipment, specifically a multi-servo drive material collection structure for a spicy snack packaging material handling line. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated packaging production of spicy strips, a material collection and buffer structure is needed to address the mismatch between the feeding speed of the material handler and the packaging speed of the packaging machine. This buffer structure ensures that multiple spicy strips are neatly arranged, facilitating the simultaneous feeding of a specified number of strips into the packaging machine. In existing automated packaging production lines, the material collection and buffer structure is horizontally placed. This single-strip, single-groove approach often results in the spicy strips moving at large angles and over a wide range, with a roughly U-shaped trajectory. During this process, there is significant relative movement between the spicy strips and the bottom support plate, causing surface contaminants to fall off and affecting the flavor of the strip. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a multi-servo drive material collection structure for a spicy snack packaging and sorting line. By using a multi-servo drive, the movement of the synchronous belt is precisely controlled, achieving accurate positioning of the material collection grid at a designated location. This shortens the distance the spicy snack moves after entering the material collection grid and improves the accuracy of feeding and discharging.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A multi-servo driven material collection structure for a spicy snack packaging material handling line includes:

[0006] Support structure, used for installing and supporting various components;

[0007] Multiple servo motors are installed on the support structure, and each servo motor independently drives the corresponding synchronous belt to move through the transmission wheel, so as to realize the movement and positioning of the material collection grid;

[0008] Multiple synchronous belts are arranged in parallel above the support structure. Each synchronous belt has multiple material collection grids with open ends and arranged side by side. The material collection grids are used to hold spicy strips.

[0009] A sensor system is used to detect the spicy strip signal and transmit it to a servo motor. The servo motor controls the movement of the synchronous belt according to the signal, so that the collection grid can collect and discharge materials at a designated position.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the synchronous belt moves cyclically under the drive of the servo motor, and the material collection grid is used for feeding and discharging at different positions on the moving path.

[0011] Technical benefits: The continuously moving synchronous belt ensures that the material collection grid can continuously feed and discharge materials at different positions, avoiding production interruptions caused by equipment stoppages. By rationally arranging the movement path of the material collection grid, the feeding and discharging operations can be made smoother, reducing congestion and waiting time during the production process.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the servo motors are arranged in a staggered manner along the support structure.

[0013] Technical Benefits: The staggered arrangement of servo motors effectively saves installation space, making the equipment more compact. It also reduces interference between motors, improving stability and reliability. Connecting the servo motors and synchronous belt via a drive belt facilitates maintenance and adjustment, reducing maintenance costs.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the collection grid is a rectangular trough with a length greater than or equal to the total width of the three synchronous belts installed.

[0015] Technical benefits: The rectangular trough's collection compartment can hold more spicy strips, improving collection efficiency. The shape of the rectangular trough ensures that the spicy strips are neatly arranged in the collection compartment, avoiding packaging quality problems caused by uneven arrangement. The length of the collection compartment is greater than or equal to the total width of the three synchronous belts installed, facilitating collection at one end and discharge at the other.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, multiple collection grids are continuously arranged along the length of the synchronous belt.

[0017] Technical benefits: Multiple collection compartments can simultaneously and alternately perform collection operations, increasing the amount of material collected per unit time, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring that the spicy strips are arranged neatly. Continuously arranged collection compartments facilitate smoother feeding and discharging operations, reducing congestion and waiting time during production.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, the sensor system includes an external sensor, which is a photoelectric sensor.

[0019] Technical benefits: The photoelectric sensor features high sensitivity and high precision, enabling it to accurately detect the position and quantity of spicy strips, ensuring the accuracy of material collection and discharging operations.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This utility model's multi-servo drive collection structure precisely controls the movement of the synchronous belt through multi-servo drive, achieving accurate positioning of the collection grid at a designated location. This shortens the distance the spicy strips move after entering the collection grid, reduces friction, rolling, and impact of the fins on the spicy strips during the buffering process, reduces the shedding of adhering substances, and improves the flavor of the product. At the same time, it precisely matches the feeding and discharging actions, improving the accuracy of feeding and discharging. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the multi-servo drive material collection structure of this utility model includes a support structure 6, multiple servo motors 5, multiple synchronous belts, a material collection grid, and a sensor system.

[0029] The support structure 6 is used to install and support the various components. The servo motors 5 are respectively installed on the support structure 6. Each servo motor 5 drives the corresponding transmission wheel 8 to rotate through the transmission belt 4. The transmission wheel 8 then realizes independent driving of the synchronous belt.

[0030] In this embodiment, three synchronous belts are used: synchronous belt 9, synchronous belt 11, and synchronous belt 12. Each synchronous belt has multiple collection compartments, namely, first collection compartment 1, second collection compartment 2, and third collection compartment 3. The two ends of the synchronous belts are mounted on drive wheels 8, which are distributed at both ends of the support structure 6. The drive wheels 8 are coaxially and rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 13. The two ends of the mounting shaft 13 are respectively provided with first belt bearing 7 and second belt bearing 10. The servo motors 5 of synchronous belt 9 and synchronous belt 12 can be located on both sides of the same end of the support mechanism, driving the corresponding synchronous belts to move through the drive belt 4. The servo motor 5 of synchronous belt 11 is located at the other end of the support mechanism, driving the synchronous belt to move through the corresponding drive belt 4.

[0031] Each synchronous belt is equipped with multiple collection compartments for holding spicy strips, and the length of the collection compartments on each synchronous belt is equal to the total width of the three synchronous belts installed.

[0032] The sensor system is used to detect the spicy strip signal and transmit it to the servo motor 5. The sensor can be a photoelectric sensor. The servo motor 5 controls the movement of the synchronous belt according to the signal, so that the collection grid completes the collection and discharge actions at the designated position.

[0033] In addition, with the pusher, the spicy strips in the collection compartment can be pushed into the corresponding tailstock of the packaging machine or wait to enter the packaging machine. The pusher moves through a push plate connected to a cylinder. The push plate enters from one end of the collection compartment and pushes the spicy strips out from the other end. The pusher can be a component installed on the support structure 6 or a device installed in other positions on the production line.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] When an external sensor detects a spicy snack signal, the servo system processes the signal, and servo motor 5 quickly rotates the empty spicy snack collection grid on a certain belt to... Figure 3 When the upper left arc segment is in progress, after the corresponding number of spicy strips are injected into the collection grid, the servo motor 5 immediately starts working, driving the belt to rotate. The next collection grid without spicy strips reaches the feeding position, while the belt preceding it is at the discharge position. Depending on the packaging speed of the packaging machine, the belt rotates a certain distance within a certain time period to feed the next item. The collection grid of the belt following this item is located below it and is immediately followed by the next belt. The movement of the belt at the collection grid in the feeding area matches the feeding speed, while the movement of the belt at the discharge position matches the packaging machine speed.
