Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of four-cup instant noodle packaging production line, and in particular to a packaging production line for four-cup instant noodles. Background Technology
[0002] Instant noodles are also known as fast food noodles, instant noodles, and quick-cooking noodles. Instant noodles are usually a type of instant noodle that can be cooked and eaten in a short time by soaking them in hot water. There are various types of packaging for instant noodles, including four-cup instant noodles, which are packaged in a four-cup pack. This requires the use of a four-cup instant noodle packaging production line.
[0003] In existing four-cup instant noodle packaging production lines, the supply of the packaging machine is usually that the paper tray is automatically unloaded from the cup instant noodles by the paper tray unloading machine. Then, two workers manually place the four cups of instant noodles alternately on the paper tray by the conveyor. After that, the supply machine sends the four cups of instant noodles along with the paper tray into the bag maker at the head of the packaging machine, and then the shrink wrap packaging is completed.
[0004] However, this method has the disadvantages of low efficiency due to manual operation and increased labor intensity for workers. Therefore, it is necessary for the four-cup instant noodle packaging production line to automatically transfer the four cups of instant noodles onto the paper tray. Utility Model Content

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a packaging production line for four-pack instant noodles.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] The system includes an inlet conveyor 1, a transfer mechanism 3, and an automatic tray unloader 10. The inlet conveyor 1 facilitates the transport of cup-sized instant noodles, while the automatic tray unloader 10 facilitates the automatic dropping of paper trays 12 into the packaging machine supply 2. A shrink film packaging machine 5 is installed on the side of the inlet conveyor 1. The shrink film packaging machine 5 includes the packaging machine supply 2, a packaging machine rotary end seal 6, and a packaging machine reciprocating swing end seal 7. The packaging machine supply 2 has a paper tray 12 for placing cup-sized instant noodles inside, which facilitates the placement of cup-sized instant noodles. The packaging machine reciprocating swing end seal 7 is installed on the side of the packaging machine rotary end seal 6, which facilitates the transport of paper trays 12. The transfer mechanism 3 is located on the inlet conveyor 1 and the packaging machine supply 2, and is used to transport cup-sized instant noodles from the inlet conveyor 1 to the paper trays 12. The automatic tray unloader 10 is installed on the top of the packaging machine supply 2.
[0042] Furthermore, it also includes a first leg 4, a shrink film packaging machine 5, a rotating end seal for the packaging machine 6, a reciprocating oscillating end seal for the packaging machine 7, and a shrink oven. The first leg 4 is beneficial for supporting the packaging machine supply 2. The first leg 4 is installed at the bottom of the packaging machine supply 2. The shrink oven is located on the side of the packaging machine supply 2. The capped cups are fed into the gripping station of the transfer mechanism 3 via the material conveyor 1. The robot arm body 33 drives the clamp 34 to grip the four cups and transfer them to the supply paper tray 12. The paper tray 12 is first dropped synchronously by the automatic unloading machine 10 between the two push rods of the chain of the packaging machine supply 2. Then, it is conveyed by the push rod of the packaging machine supply 2 into the bag maker at the head of the shrink film packaging machine 5 for shrink wrapping. The packaging machine head is designed with two end seals. The shrink film packaging of the four-cup cups uses the reciprocating swing end seal 7 of the packaging machine. When the cups pass through the rotating end seal 6 of the packaging machine, the rotating end seal 6 is in an open and stationary state. The four-cup cups, which are already wrapped in shrink film, are clamped and conveyed through the rotating end seal 6 by the side transfer component. Then, the reciprocating swing end seal 7 of the packaging machine completes the sealing and cutting of the shrink film end seal of the four-cup cups. After that, they are sent into the shrink oven body 8 for heat shrinking to complete the shrink film packaging of the product. The rotating end seal 6 of the packaging machine is used for the production of short products, such as single cup production, while the reciprocating swing end seal 7 of the packaging machine is used for the production of long products, such as four-cup production.
[0043] Specifically, the shrink oven includes a shrink oven body 8, a support base 9, and an exhaust fan 11. The shrink oven body 8 is conducive to heat shrinking four cups of instant noodles after shrink film packaging. The support base 9 is conducive to supporting the shrink oven body 8. The shrink oven body 8 is located on the side of the packaging machine supply 2. The support base 9 is installed at the bottom of the shrink oven body 8, and the exhaust fan 11 is equidistantly installed at the top of the shrink oven body 8.
[0044] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31, a crossbeam frame 32, a robotic arm body 33, and a clamp 34. The support frame 31 supports the crossbeam frame 32, and the crossbeam frame 32 supports the robotic arm body 33. The robotic arm body 33 can move laterally to drive the clamp 34 laterally. At the same time, the robotic arm body 33 drives the clamp 34 to automatically grasp the cup-shaped instant noodles, so that the cup-shaped instant noodles are grasped from the material conveyor 1 onto the paper tray 12. The clamp 34 can be replaced according to the needs to grasp two or four cups at the same time. The clamp 34 can adopt four sets of suction cups or four sets of arc-shaped grippers. The support frame 31 is covered outside the material conveyor 1 and the packaging machine supply 2. The crossbeam frame 32 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support frame 31. The robotic arm body 33 is installed on the crossbeam frame 32, and the clamp 34 is installed on the robotic arm body 33. The clamp 34 is used to grasp the cup-shaped instant noodles.
[0045] More specifically, the transfer mechanism 3 also includes a top frame 35, a shielding door 36, a control panel 37, and a support member. The shielding door 36 is useful for shielding and protecting the robot body 33, and the control panel 37 is useful for controlling the robot body 33. The top frame 35 is installed on the top of the support frame 31, the shielding door 36 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame 31, the control panel 37 is installed on the front of the support frame 31, and the support member is located at the bottom of the support frame 31.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] Based on Embodiment 1, the support includes a second leg 38 and a reinforcing plate 39. The second leg 38 is beneficial for supporting the support frame 31, and the reinforcing plate 39 is beneficial for reinforcing the bottom of the support frame 31. The second leg 38 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 31, and the reinforcing plate 39 is fixedly connected to the support frame 31, with the reinforcing plate 39 located on the side of the second leg 38.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
