Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of food packaging, and more particularly, relates to a packaging mechanism for frozen meat. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy, more and more finished foods are favored by consumers. Finished foods not only have a better taste, but are also more convenient to eat. As product manufacturers, they need to package the products themselves, so the packaging process is a very important link for finished foods.

[0003] For frozen meat, most packaging relies mainly on manual processing with vacuum packaging machines. This operation method not only consumes more human resources and has relatively low output, but also makes it difficult to achieve complete consistency in product assembly. This will cause uneven product weight and seasoning ratios, affecting consumers' eating experience. It also increases production costs and after-sales maintenance costs, and production efficiency is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an intelligent packaging mechanism for frozen meat.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

The bottom of the end of the retractable belt conveyor and the freezing box are connected by a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is placed at the bottom of both to receive the materials placed by the retractable belt conveyor and transfer them to the freezing box. The feeding device is arranged at the end of the freezing box and receives the frozen materials through the conveyor belt at the bottom of the freezing box, and transfers the frozen materials and the finished seasonings to the vacuum packaging machine.

[0008] The present invention discloses a packaging mechanism for frozen meat, wherein the feeding device includes a first conveyor belt for receiving materials output from a freezer, a second conveyor belt for changing the transmission direction of the first conveyor belt, and a third conveyor belt for receiving frozen materials and finished condiments.

[0009] The present invention discloses a packaging mechanism for frozen meat, wherein the condiment delivery portion includes a first discharge barrel for loading condiments, a first centrifugal vibrator for evenly stirring the condiments, and a second elevator for transmitting the materials to the centrifugal vibrator.

[0011] The present invention discloses a packaging mechanism for frozen meat. The retractable belt conveyor includes a belt for transmission and a retractable mechanism for controlling the belt to retract back and forth along the transmission direction. One end of the belt is provided with a sliding rod slidably connected to both sides of the retractable belt conveyor, and a slide rail cooperating with the sliding rod. The other end of the belt is arranged in the retractable mechanism, and the retraction of the belt is controlled by the retractable mechanism.

Before the frozen materials enter the vacuum packaging machine, the seasoning feeding part cooperates with the three-axis robot to put the finished seasoning and materials into the vacuum packaging machine at the same time. The freezing process and transmission process before packaging are fully automated, which can save a lot of human resources. Since two-way synchronous transmission is adopted in this case, the production progress can be greatly accelerated and the output of frozen food can be increased. In this case, a multi-axis robot is also used in conjunction with a camera to control the transmission results of the materials, which can more efficiently and accurately control the quality of the product and improve production efficiency.
