Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gravity-type soup adding for cans and barrels, and more specifically to a vacuum exhaust type gravity-type soup adding machine. Background Art

[0002] Related background technology: In canned mushroom slices, since the sliced ​​mushrooms are relatively soft, gaps are easily generated between the slices, forming bubbles. After the can is sealed, a low vacuum is easily generated. Currently, canned mushrooms are generally filled with mushroom slices, and then soup is added for the first time, and then manually stirred to remove bubbles, and then soup is added for the second time. Due to the continuous development of technology and changes in market demand, manual stirring is no longer suitable for mass production needs. Therefore, customers seek automatic exhaust machinery to meet production needs.

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing soup adding machines, the applicant has adhered to the spirit of research and innovation and continuous improvement, combined with production practice, and used professional and scientific methods to propose a practical solution, and therefore filed this application.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a vacuum exhaust type gravity soup adding machine, mainly comprising: a soup adding barrel, a soup adding valve group, a can supporting plate assembly, a spiral can separator, a driving assembly and an exhaust assembly, wherein the driving assembly drives the soup adding barrel and the can supporting plate assembly to rotate through a secondary transmission shaft, the soup adding barrel is arranged on the top of the soup adding shaft, the can supporting plate assembly is located below the soup adding barrel, a plurality of soup adding valve groups are arranged at the bottom of the soup adding barrel, a plurality of can supporting rods are arranged on the can supporting turntable of the can supporting plate assembly, and the can supporting rods are located below the soup adding valve group, the can supporting rods are moved up and down along the can supporting cam through a cam roller, an exhaust assembly is arranged above the soup adding barrel, the exhaust head of the exhaust assembly is connected to an exhaust pump, and a spiral can separator is arranged on one side of the can supporting plate assembly.

[0006] Specifically, the soup adding barrel is a round barrel with an upwardly convex middle and a downwardly concave outer periphery, and the soup adding valve groups are distributed in a circular manner at the downwardly concave position with equal distances from the center of the soup adding barrel.

[0007] Specifically, the described soup-adding valve group is mainly composed of a rubber sealing seat, a soup-adding movable valve and an exhaust pipe. The rubber sealing seat is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bottom of the soup-adding movable valve, the exhaust pipe is arranged inside the soup-adding movable valve, and a gap is reserved between the exhaust pipe and the soup-adding movable valve for liquid to flow through. The exhaust port at the bottom of the exhaust pipe expands from top to bottom, and the exhaust port is stuck or opens the bottom of the soup-adding movable valve.

[0008] Specifically, the can supporting plate assembly is mainly composed of a can supporting turntable, a can supporting rod, a cam roller and a can supporting cam. The can supporting turntable is sleeved on the soup adding shaft, the top of the can supporting rod is connected to the can supporting plate, the bottom of the can supporting rod is connected to the cam roller, and the cam roller moves along the concave and convex path at the top of the can supporting cam.

[0009] Specifically, the can supporting cam is divided into a transport section, an exhaust section and a soup adding section. The heights of the transport section, the exhaust section and the soup adding section rise in sequence, and the exhaust section is located below the exhaust head.

[0010] Specifically, a can protector is installed above the can support plate, and the can protector is provided with a can protecting groove for clamping the can body, the can protecting groove is aligned with the center of the can support plate, and the can protecting groove is located directly below the soup adding valve group.

[0011] Specifically, the exhaust assembly is mainly composed of an exhaust head and an exhaust pump, an exhaust bracket, and an exhaust turntable.

It saves a lot of labor costs and shortens the production cycle. This design improves the accuracy and automation of the equipment, thereby reducing the manpower and material resources of the manufacturer and improving the production efficiency and product quality of the equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The drawings are only for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention. To better illustrate the present embodiment, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. The positional relationships described in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the vacuum exhaust type gravity soup adding machine mainly comprises: a soup adding barrel, a soup adding valve group, a can supporting plate assembly, a spiral can separator, a driving assembly and an exhaust assembly, wherein the driving assembly drives the soup adding barrel and the can supporting plate assembly to rotate through a secondary transmission shaft, the soup adding barrel is arranged on the top of the soup adding shaft, the can supporting plate assembly is located below the soup adding barrel, a plurality of soup adding valve groups are arranged at the bottom of the soup adding barrel, a plurality of can supporting rods are arranged on the can supporting turntable of the can supporting plate assembly, and the can supporting rods are located below the soup adding valve group, the can supporting rods are moved up and down along the can supporting cam through a cam roller, an exhaust assembly is arranged above the soup adding barrel, the exhaust head of the exhaust assembly is connected to an exhaust pump, and a spiral can separator is arranged on one side of the can supporting plate assembly.

[0025] In the above scheme, the soup adding barrel is a round barrel with an upward protrusion in the middle and a downward depression in the periphery, and the soup adding valve group is distributed in a circular manner at a downward depression position with equal distance from the center of the soup adding barrel. The soup adding valve group is mainly composed of a rubber sealing seat, a soup adding movable valve and an exhaust pipe. The rubber sealing seat is sleeved on the periphery of the bottom of the soup adding movable valve, and the exhaust pipe is arranged inside the soup adding movable valve. A gap for liquid to flow is reserved between the exhaust pipe and the soup adding movable valve. The exhaust port at the bottom of the exhaust pipe expands from top to bottom, and the exhaust port is stuck or opens the bottom of the soup adding movable valve. It is not only quick to disassemble and easy to rinse, but also has a smooth and hygienic surface.

[0026] The soup adding valve group is pressed against the soup adding barrel by two adjacent valve fixing blocks. To prevent the soup from leaking out, an O-ring is installed on the contact surface between the upper edge of the soup adding valve group and the soup adding barrel. The compression spring inside the soup adding valve group is the matching pressure. As for the sliding part between the exhaust pipe and the outer diameter of the soup adding movable valve, an appropriate gap has been reserved so that the soup adding movable valve can still slide freely at high temperature; but in order to prevent the soup from leaking out through the gap, an O-ring is installed at the bottom of the exhaust pipe.

[0027] The amount of soup added by this soup adding machine is controlled until the soup completely fills the space in the empty can; therefore, the amount of space in the upper part of the can is determined by the volume of the lower end of the soup adding valve seat immersed in the empty can. The more part enters the can, the more soup is discharged, and naturally the upper space is larger.

[0028] In the above scheme, the tank tray assembly is mainly composed of a tank tray, a tank tray rod, a cam roller and a tank tray cam. The tank tray is sleeved on the soup adding shaft. The top of the tank tray rod is connected to the tank tray. The bottom of the tank tray rod is connected to the cam roller. The cam roller moves along the concave and convex path at the top of the tank tray cam. The tank tray cam is divided into a transport section, an exhaust section and a soup adding section. The heights of the transport section, the exhaust section and the soup adding section increase in sequence. The exhaust section is located below the exhaust head. A tank protector is installed above the tank tray. The tank protector is provided with a tank protecting groove for clamping the tank body. The tank protecting groove is aligned with the center of the tank tray and is located directly below the soup adding valve group.

[0029] In the above scheme, the exhaust assembly is mainly composed of an exhaust head and an exhaust pump, an exhaust bracket, and an exhaust turntable. The exhaust head is installed on the exhaust bracket, and the exhaust head is connected to the exhaust pump through an exhaust pipe. The air holes on the exhaust turntable are connected to one end of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust turntable is provided with a liquid level controller, and a plurality of electrode rods of different lengths are provided inside the liquid level controller, and the porous sheath covers the electrode rods.

[0030] A three-rod liquid level controller is used to keep the liquid level of the soup adding bucket at a certain level. A set of electrode liquid level controllers is installed above the upper cover of the soup adding diversion bucket. The opening and closing of the solenoid valve is controlled by whether the three electrode rods are in contact with the liquid surface or not. The three-rod liquid level controller has three electrode rods of different lengths. The height difference between the A and B rods should not exceed 30mm as a principle, otherwise it will affect the stability of the head space above the can. C: When the liquid level is high, the soup control valve is closed when the C pole is in contact with the soup. B: When the soup is used until the B pole is no longer in contact with the liquid level, the soup control valve opens and the soup begins to be added. A: Common electrode (COMMON), the distance between the bottom end of the electrode and the upper part of the soup adding bucket is about 75mm.

[0031] When using five-rod electrode rods, pole A is the longest and pole E is the shortest. When in automatic operation mode, the liquid level begins to sense pole B, at which time the tank is automatically blocked and the machine is operated at a slow speed. When the liquid level rises to the point where it senses pole C, the tank is fed and the soup is added, and the soup adding machine is operated at a high speed. When the liquid level continues to rise and senses pole E, the tank feed, high speed, and liquid level control valve are closed; when the liquid level continues to drop to the point where it is not sensed by pole D, the tank feed, high speed operation, and liquid level control valve are opened; when the liquid level drops to the point where it is not sensed by pole B, the tank is automatically blocked, the speed is low, and the liquid level control valve is opened.

[0032] In the above scheme, the spiral can separator is mainly composed of a spiral rod, a can delivery track, and a can rotating plate. A spiral rod is arranged on the outside of the can delivery track, and the can rotating plate is installed on the inside of the can delivery track. The semicircular notch of the can rotating plate corresponds to the can protecting groove of the can protector. The driving assembly is mainly composed of a driving motor, a soup adding shaft, a main transmission shaft, and a can rotating plate shaft. The driving motor drives the main transmission shaft to rotate. The main transmission shaft is connected to the can rotating plate shaft through gears and the gears are meshed with each other. The main transmission shaft drives the soup adding bucket and the can tray assembly to rotate around the soup adding shaft through the auxiliary transmission shaft.

[0033] During implementation, the can body is first transported by the can delivery track of the spiral can separator, and the can bodies are separated one by one by the spiral rod, so that the can bodies are transported to the rotating can plate at a distance in turn, and then the rotating can plate transports the can body to the can support plate, and the can protector fixes it in the aligned position; then the driving motor drives the can support plate assembly to rotate through the can support turntable, and the cam roller at the bottom of the can support rod moves to the exhaust section of the can support cam, and the can support rod pushes the can body to support the rubber sealing seat. At this time, the exhaust pipe is just connected with the exhaust head to discharge the internal gas of the tank body, and the exhaust is maintained for a period of time by extending the exhaust section distance; finally, the cam roller drives the can support rod to move upward along the top path of the can support cam, and the soup adding movable valve is pushed open by the tank lip, opening the gap between the inside of the soup adding movable valve and the exhaust port, so that the liquid in the soup adding bucket flows into the tank body, completing the exhaust and soup adding steps in the tank body. The whole process is automated and does not require manual operation.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
