Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection devices, specifically a foreign matter detection device for complementary food nutritional packs. Background Technology
[0002] Foreign object detection devices for complementary food nutritional packs are professional equipment used to detect whether unintended foreign objects such as metal, plastic, hair, and stones have been mixed into the complementary food nutritional packs during production, processing, and packaging. The core function is to ensure product safety and avoid risks to the health of infants and young children from foreign objects.
[0003] Current technologies do not standardize the form of nutrition packs. Nutrition packs may become stacked or wrinkled due to transportation and storage, affecting test results. This requires manual sorting of qualified products to remove unqualified ones before handling them. This manual method is not only inefficient but also increases the labor intensity and labor costs for workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foreign object detection device for complementary food nutritional packs. It has the advantages of avoiding incomplete X-ray scanning range due to the displacement of the nutritional pack, further ensuring detection accuracy, eliminating the need for manual handling of each pack, simplifying the processing procedure, improving the efficiency of handling defective products, and solving the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: The foreign object detection device for complementary food nutritional packs includes support columns, a conveyor fixedly connected between the two support columns, an X-ray detector fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two support columns, a limit plate fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the two support columns, a fixing block fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two support columns, a flattening mechanism provided at the lower end of the fixing block, an extraction mechanism provided on the side walls of the two support columns, and a display screen, an alarm and a controller provided on the side wall of one support column.
[0006] Preferably, the flattening mechanism includes a first groove at the lower end of a fixed block, a first electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first groove, a support block is fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric cylinder, and a sponge block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support block.
[0007] It is worth noting that when the worker activates the first electric cylinder, the first electric cylinder moves the support block downwards, which flattens the nutrient pack through the sponge block.
[0008] Preferably, the extraction mechanism includes a second groove opened on one side of a support column, a second electric cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second groove, a push block fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric cylinder, a third groove extending through one side of another support column, and a recycling box fixedly connected to one side of the other support column.
[0009] It is worth noting that the second electric cylinder pushes the push block to drop the substandard nutrition packs into the recycling bin through the third tank.
[0010] Preferably, a small gap is left between the lower ends of the two limiting plates and the upper end of the conveyor.
[0011] It is worth noting that: to prevent the lower end of the limiting plate from rubbing against the conveyor, and to prevent the nutrition pack from sliding out between the limiting plate and the conveyor.
[0012] Preferably, the push block, the third trough, and the recycling bin are aligned in a straight line.
[0013] It is worth noting that when pushing the unqualified nutrient pack, it may prevent the nutrient pack from falling into the recycling bin through the third trough.
[0014] Preferably, the three side walls of the recycling bin away from the third tank are higher than the side closest to the third tank.
[0015] It is important to note that you should avoid letting the nutrient packs fall from other side walls onto the outside of the recycling bin.
[0016] Preferably, the sponge block is located at the upper end of the two limiting plates, and the side wall of the sponge block is in contact with one side of the limiting plate when it moves downward.
[0017] It is worth noting that the nutrition pack should be made more evenly flat.
[0018] Preferably, the X-ray detector, display screen, alarm, and controller are electrically connected.
[0019] It is worth noting that when the X-ray detector detects substandard nutrition packs, the information is reflected on the display screen and alarm via the controller.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the nutrient pack is transported to the lower end of the flattening mechanism by the conveyor, the first electric cylinder is activated, and its output end pushes the support block downward. The support block drives the sponge block to compress the nutrient pack. The sponge block has good deformation ability and can conform to the shape of the nutrient pack during the compression process, flattening the stacked and wrinkled parts without damaging the nutrient pack due to excessive compression force. After flattening, the nutrient pack has a flat shape, which is more conducive to the X-ray detector to scan its interior comprehensively and clearly, improving detection accuracy. In addition, the flattened nutrient pack will also pass through two limiting plates, which can move the nutrient pack to the middle position of the conveyor, ensuring that the nutrient pack is in the preset optimal detection position when entering the X-ray detection area, avoiding incomplete X-ray scanning range due to nutrient pack displacement, and further ensuring detection accuracy. When the X-ray detector detects a substandard nutrient pack, it transmits the information to the controller. Upon receiving the information, the controller displays it on a screen, allowing workers to visually understand the situation. Simultaneously, it triggers an alarm to alert workers to handle the issue promptly. Workers then activate a second electric cylinder, which pushes a pusher block to precisely move the substandard nutrient pack into a third tank. The pack then falls directly into a recycling bin, achieving targeted collection of substandard products. This eliminates the need for manual handling, simplifies the process, improves efficiency, and prevents mixing of substandard and qualified products, facilitating subsequent centralized testing and analysis of the substandard items.

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.
[0024] To address the issue that existing technologies do not standardize the shape of nutrition packs, which may become stacked or wrinkled due to transportation and storage, affecting test results, requiring manual sorting of each qualified pack to remove defective ones before handling, this manual method is not only inefficient but also increases the labor intensity and costs for workers. The following technical solution is provided for your reference. Figure 1-5 ; A foreign object detection device for complementary food nutritional packs includes support columns 1, a conveyor 2 fixedly connected between two support columns 1, an X-ray detector 3 fixedly connected to the upper ends of both support columns 1, limit plates 4 fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the two support columns 1, a fixing block 5 fixedly connected to the upper ends of both support columns 1, a flattening mechanism 6 provided at the lower end of the fixing block 5, an extraction mechanism 7 provided on the side walls of the two support columns 1, a display screen 8, an alarm 9, and a controller 10 provided on the side wall of one support column 1, and a small gap left between the lower ends of the two limit plates 4 and the upper ends of the conveyor 2. The flattening mechanism 6 includes a first groove 61 opened at the lower end of the fixed block 5. A first electric cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first groove 61. A support block 63 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric cylinder 62. A sponge block 64 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support block 63. The sponge block 64 is located at the upper end of the two limiting plates 4. When the sponge block 64 moves downward, its side wall is in contact with one side of the limiting plate 4.
[0025] The extraction mechanism 7 includes a second groove 71 with a support column 1 on one side, a second electric cylinder 72 fixed to the inner wall of the second groove 71, a push block 73 fixed to the output end of the second electric cylinder 72, a third groove 74 extending through one side of another support column 1, and a recovery box 75 fixed to one side of another support column 1. The push block 73, the third groove 74 and the recovery box 75 are in a straight line. The three side walls of the recovery box 75 away from the third groove 74 are higher than the side close to the third groove 74. The X-ray detector 3, the display screen 8, the alarm 9 and the controller 10 are electrically connected.
[0026] Working principle: First, when the nutrient pack is transported to the lower end of the flattening mechanism 6 by the conveyor 2, the first electric cylinder 62 is activated. The output end of the first electric cylinder 62 pushes the support block 63 downward, and the sponge block 64 squeezes the nutrient pack. The sponge block 64 has good deformation ability and will not damage the nutrient pack. The flattened nutrient pack is more conducive to the X-ray detector 3 to detect it. Then, the nutrient pack is moved to the middle position of the conveyor 2 by two limit plates 4, which is convenient for the X-ray detector 3 to detect it. When the X-ray detector 3 detects a defective nutrient pack, the information is transmitted to the display screen 8 and the alarm 9 through the controller 10. Then, the worker activates the second electric cylinder 72. The output end of the second electric cylinder 72 pushes the pusher block 73 to push the defective nutrient pack into the third tank 74. The nutrient pack falls into the recycling box 75 through the third tank 74, which is convenient for the worker to detect it.
