Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of flavor and fragrance production equipment, and in particular to a batching conveying device and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, manual batching is the main method for mixing flavors and fragrances. Manual batching requires manually moving the material barrels and pouring the raw materials into the barrels. According to the weight displayed by the weighing system, the operator coordinates his hands and eyes to adjust the injection speed in real time until the predetermined weight is reached, and ensure that the raw materials are not overweight.
[0003] Manual batching has the following problems: First, during the filling process, the liquid easily oscillates in the barrel, resulting in unstable weight values. Operators need to concentrate closely, keeping a close eye on the weighing value while also controlling their hands to wait for the weight to stabilize. This can lead to hand shaking, making it difficult to achieve high-precision batching and ensuring consistency in the proportions of different batches of raw materials.
[0004] Second, operators have direct access to the formula, which can lead to poor confidentiality of the company's core secrets;
[0005] Third, the physical requirements for operators are high, the labor intensity is high, long-term operation easily leads to fatigue and low efficiency;
[0006] Fourth, if the weight of any one raw material deviates by more than 5%, all the raw materials previously injected will be wasted, resulting in a high probability of significant waste.
[0007] Fifth, liquid raw materials are usually highly volatile, and the pungent odor can cause damage to the operator's respiratory tract, resulting in a relatively harsh working environment.
[0008] In summary, it is necessary to propose a new solution to improve the accuracy of ingredients and reduce manual operations through certain devices. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but these embodiments do not limit the present invention. Structural, methodological, or functional changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on these embodiments are all included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application discloses a batching and conveying device, comprising: a first material barrel 11, the first material barrel being used to receive a formula material within a first weight range; a second material barrel 12, the first material barrel being used to receive a formula material within a second weight range;
[0039] The loading mechanism 13 includes a first conveying unit 131 and a visual recognition unit 132. The first conveying unit is used to convey the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12. The visual recognition unit 132 is used to identify relevant information of the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12.
[0040] The conveying mechanism 14 is used to receive and convey the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12 to be batched. The conveying mechanism includes a clamping unit 141, a first weighing unit 142, a second weighing unit 143 and a second conveying unit 144. The clamping unit 141 is used to clamp the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12 to the conveying mechanism 14. The first weighing unit 141 is used to receive the first material barrel 11 and weigh the weight of the first material barrel 11. The second weighing unit 142 is used to receive the second material barrel 12 and weigh the weight of the second material barrel 12. The second conveying unit 143 is installed on the first weighing unit 142 and the second weighing unit 143 on the second conveying unit 144. The second conveying unit 144 is used to convey the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12 to the corresponding batching unit for batching.
[0041] The unloading mechanism 15 is used to receive the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12 after the batching is completed. The unloading mechanism includes a third conveying unit 151. The third conveying unit 151 is used to convey the first material barrel 11 and the second material barrel 12 after the batching is completed.
[0042] The control unit 16 is used to control the movement of the first conveying unit 131, the second conveying unit 144 and the third conveying unit 151, and control the visual recognition unit to perform corresponding recognition on the first material barrel and the second material barrel.
[0043] The first barrel is provided with a first identification code, and the second barrel is provided with a second identification code. The first identification code and / or the second visual identification code can be a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code. In a specific embodiment, the first identification code and the second identification code are both one-dimensional codes, and the one-dimensional codes store the formula codes of the first barrel and the second barrel for receiving the formula raw materials. The first visual identification unit is used to identify the formula code of the formula raw materials to be received by the first barrel, and the second visual unit is used to identify the formula code of the formula raw materials to be received by the second barrel. The first and second visual units input the identified corresponding formula code information into the control unit, and the control unit injects the corresponding formula raw materials into the first and second barrels according to the identified corresponding formula code information. In this way, the operator is prevented from directly contacting the corresponding formula information, and the confidentiality of the core secrets of the enterprise is improved.
[0044] To improve the accuracy of raw material proportioning, the first and second barrels of the present invention receive different weight ranges for the corresponding formulas. The first barrel receives a first weight range greater than a preset weight threshold, while the second barrel receives a second weight range less than the preset weight threshold. Because the weight range intervals received by the second barrel are smaller, in a preferred embodiment, to reduce the impact of the weight of the second barrel itself on the weight of the formula raw materials, the volume of the second barrel is smaller than that of the first barrel. The selection of the preset threshold is determined by the weighing range of the first and second weighing units. For example, the preset threshold is 120 grams. In a large formula, there are many types of formula raw materials, some of which are greater than 120 grams and some are less than 120 grams. The first barrel receives corresponding formula raw materials greater than 120 grams, while the second barrel receives corresponding formula raw materials less than 120 grams. The smaller the range of the first and second weighing units, the higher the weighing accuracy.

When the first bucket moves below the first industrial CCD, the first CCD obtains information related to the first bucket 11. The second industrial CCD is mounted above the second conveyor line. When the first bucket moves below the second industrial CCD, the second CCD obtains information related to the second bucket 12. The relevant information includes coded information of the relevant recipe. More specifically, the first conveyor line 1311 includes a first bracket 13111 and a plurality of first transmission structures, wherein the plurality of first transmission mechanisms are distributed and installed on the first bracket 13111, and the first transmission mechanism includes a first motor 13112, a first chain 13113 and a first rotating shaft 13114.

[0051] The working process of the ingredient conveying device can be referred to as follows: the first material barrel is placed on the first conveyor line of the loading mechanism through manual operation or working mechanical clamps, and the second material barrel is placed on the second conveyor line of the loading mechanism. The control unit controls multiple first transmission structures and multiple second transmission structures to move, and the control unit controls multiple first motors and multiple second motors to rotate in the same direction and output driving force. Under the action of the multiple first motors, the multiple first chains drive the corresponding multiple first rotating shafts to rotate, and the first rotating structure drives the first material barrel to move to the bottom of the first industrial CCD. The first limit baffle starts to start and limits the first material barrel to the bottom of the first industrial CCD. The first industrial CCD obtains the first formula coding information of the first material barrel. Under the action of the second motor, the multiple second chains drive the corresponding multiple second rotating shafts to rotate, and the second rotating structure drives the second material barrel to move to the bottom of the second industrial CCD. The second industrial CCD obtains the second formula coding information of the second material barrel; the second limit baffle starts to start and limits the second material barrel to the bottom of the second industrial CCD.

After the first industrial CCD and the second industrial CCD obtain the corresponding formula code, the first limit baffle and the second limit baffle are respectively moved out of the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line, and the first bucket and the second bucket continue to move forward.

During the batching process, the first and second cylinders begin to move downward, and the first and second trays move downward, bringing the first and second buckets into contact with the first and second electronic scales, respectively, for real-time weighing. After batching is completed, the first and second cylinders begin to lift and move upward, driving the first and second trays upward, disengaging the first bucket from the first electronic scale and the second bucket from the second electronic scale. Thereafter, driven by the drive motor in the second conveying unit, the first tray drives the first bucket, and the second tray drives the second bucket along the guide rail. When they reach the unloading mechanism, the clamping unit grabs the first bucket and unloads it to the first unloading line, and the second bucket to the second unloading line.
