Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of filling, and particularly relates to an inserting rod device for a filling production line. Background Art

[0002] At present, there is a large gap between the packaging of cheese sticks on the market and the rod body inside, so that the filling liquid in the material cavity at one end of the rod body is likely to flow into the operation cavity where the other end of the rod body is placed along the gap between the middle of the rod body and the packaging, causing pollution and failing to meet the hygiene requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an inserting rod device for a filling production line to solve at least one of the above problems.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An inserting rod device for a filling production line includes a frame, a limiting component for fixing a sheet, and an inserting rod component for inserting a rod body into the material cavity of the sheet. The inserting rod component and the limiting component are arranged on the frame, and the inserting rod component is located above the limiting component. A shaping component is also arranged on the frame below the limiting component. The shaping component includes a clamping mechanism and a first linear driving mechanism connected to each other. The first linear driving mechanism pushes the clamping mechanism to squeeze the sheet to close the gap between the sheet at the lower part of the material cavity and the circumferential side of the rod body.

[0005] In the above inserting rod device for a filling production line, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping blocks respectively located on both sides of the sheet and shaping molds respectively arranged on the two clamping blocks. The shaping molds are locked on the opposite side walls of the two clamping blocks through locking pieces.

[0006] In the above inserting rod device for a filling production line, the clamping block includes a heat-conducting strip with a shaping mold on the side and a heating strip arranged at the bottom of the heat-conducting strip. The heating strip heats the shaping mold through the heat-conducting strip to perform temperature-raising shaping on the sheet by the shaping mold.

[0007] In the above inserting rod device for a filling production line, the clamping block further includes a heat-insulating plate covering the top of the heat-conducting strip.

[0008] In the above inserting rod device for a filling production line, a cooling component is arranged at the end of the shaping component on the frame. The cooling component includes two cooling blocks respectively located on both sides of the sheet and a second linear driving mechanism respectively connected to the two cooling blocks. The second linear driving mechanism drives the cooling blocks to approach or move away from the sheet to cool the sheet after temperature-raising shaping.

[0009] In the above inserting rod device for a filling production line, the shaping mold includes a back plate installed on the clamping block and a clamping protrusion arranged on the back plate. A clamping groove for avoiding the rod body is arranged on the clamping protrusion.

[0010] In the above-mentioned rod inserting device for a filling production line, the clamping protrusions are arranged at equal intervals on the back plate, so that deformation gaps for accommodating the extruded sheet are provided on both sides of the clamping protrusions.

[0011] In the above-mentioned rod inserting device for a filling production line, there are two first linear driving mechanisms. The driving rods of the two first linear driving mechanisms are respectively horizontally connected to the side of the clamping block away from the sheet to drive the clamping block to approach or move away from the sheet.

[0012] In the above-mentioned rod inserting device for a filling production line, a mounting seat is provided on the frame. The first linear driving mechanism is arranged on the top of the mounting seat, and the first linear driving mechanism is locked with the mounting seat through a locking member.

[0013] In the above-mentioned rod inserting device for a filling production line, the first linear driving mechanism is a cylinder.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] A rod inserting device for a filling production line includes a frame, a limiting component for fixing a sheet, and a rod inserting component for inserting a rod into the material cavity of the sheet. The rod inserting component and the limiting component are arranged on the frame, and the rod inserting component is located above the limiting component. A shaping component is also provided on the frame below the limiting component. The shaping component includes a clamping mechanism and a first linear driving mechanism connected to each other. The first linear driving mechanism pushes the clamping mechanism to extrude the sheet to close the gap between the sheet at the lower part of the material cavity and the periphery of the rod. The following technical effects can be achieved by this technical solution:

[0016] The present invention shapes the sheet after the rod is inserted through the shaping component. The first linear driving mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to clamp the sheet and extrude the side part of the material cavity, so that the sheet on the side part of the material cavity fits against the outer side wall of the rod, thereby closing the gap between the sheet and the periphery of the rod, preventing the filling liquid from flowing out through the gap between the rod and the sheet in the material cavity during filling and causing pollution to the rod, ensuring that the filling liquid can only stay in the material cavity, and guaranteeing food hygiene and safety.

[0017] The clamping mechanism includes two clamping blocks respectively located on both sides of the sheet and shaping molds respectively arranged on the two clamping blocks. The shaping molds are locked on the opposite side walls of the two clamping blocks through locking members. The shaping molds are locked on the clamping blocks through locking members such as screws. While being firmly fixed, it is convenient for the installation and replacement of the shaping molds, enabling different shaping molds to be replaced on the clamping blocks according to shaping needs, and having a wider application range.

[0018] The clamping block includes a heat-conducting strip with a shaping die on its side and a heating strip provided at the bottom of the heat-conducting strip. The heating strip heats the shaping die through the heat-conducting strip, so that the shaping die heats the sheet material to shape it. Through high temperature, the sheet material deforms, preventing the shaped sheet material from returning to its original state, and the shaping effect on the sheet material is better. The shaping die is installed on the side of the heat-conducting strip instead of directly contacting the heating strip, so that the side of the shaping die can be evenly heated by the heat-conducting strip, the temperature rise is more uniform, preventing the local temperature of the side of the shaping die used for shaping from being too low or too high, and the shaping effect on the sheet material is better.

[0019] The clamping block further includes a heat-insulating plate, and the heat-insulating plate covers the top of the heat-conducting strip. The heat-insulating plate provided on the top of the heat-conducting strip can play a heat-insulating effect, preventing the top surface of the high-temperature heat-conducting strip from contacting other components or affecting other components, and ensuring the stable operation of the shaping assembly.

[0020] A cooling assembly is provided on the frame at the end of the shaping assembly. The cooling assembly includes two cooling blocks respectively located on both sides of the sheet material and a second linear driving mechanism respectively connected to the two cooling blocks. The second linear driving mechanism drives the cooling blocks to approach or move away from the sheet material to cool the sheet material after heating and shaping, so that the sheet material stays in the shape after being extruded by the shaping die, that is, consolidating the deformation effect of the sheet material, and ensuring that the sheet material entering the next process does not undergo secondary deformation due to excessive temperature.

[0021] The shaping die includes a back plate installed on the clamping block and clamping protrusions provided on the back plate. Clamping grooves for avoiding the rod body are provided on the clamping protrusions. When the shaping die clamps the sheet material to shape it, the clamping grooves avoid the rod body inside the sheet material, and as much as possible enhance the fitting effect between the sheet material at the position of the avoidance cavity and the outer side of the rod body, and the shaping effect is good.

[0022] The clamping protrusions are arranged equidistantly on the back plate, so that there are deformation gaps for accommodating the extruded sheet material on both sides of the clamping protrusions. When the shaping die heats and extrudes the sheet material, the sheet material is heated and deformed and extruded to both sides of the clamping protrusions, and the deformation gaps can accommodate the extruded sheet material, ensuring the smooth deformation of the sheet material.

[0023] A mounting seat is provided on the frame, and the first linear driving mechanism is provided on the top of the mounting seat. The first linear driving mechanism is locked with the mounting seat through a locking member, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, so as to facilitate repair and replacement when the first linear driving mechanism is damaged.

[0024] The first linear driving mechanism is a cylinder, because the cylinder can adapt to various working environments and has a large output force. As the first linear driving mechanism, it can play a good role in extruding and shaping the sheet material.

[0046] Embodiment:

[0047] An inserting rod device for a filling production line, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, includes a frame 100, a limiting component 200, an inserting rod component 300 and a shaping component 400. The inserting rod component 300 and the limiting component 200 are both arranged on the frame 100. The limiting component 200 is used to fix a sheet 600 (i.e., the material for forming the outer package of the filling liquid), as Figure 5As shown in the figure, a material cavity 610 for containing filling liquid, an operation cavity 620 for taking the rod body 700, and an avoidance cavity 630 provided between the two are arranged on the sheet 600. The avoidance cavity 630 communicates with the material cavity 610 and the operation cavity 620 to avoid the rod body 700 that is simultaneously inserted into the material cavity 610 and the operation cavity 620. The rod inserting assembly 300 is located above the limiting assembly 200 and is used for inserting the rod body 700 into the material cavity 610 of the sheet 600. The shaping assembly 400 is located below the limiting assembly 200 and is used for shaping the sheet 600.

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, the shaping assembly 400 includes a clamping mechanism and a first linear driving mechanism 420. The clamping mechanism includes two clamping blocks 410 and two shaping molds 413. The two clamping blocks 410 are respectively located on both sides of the sheet 600, and the two shaping molds 413 are respectively located on the opposite side walls of the two clamping blocks 410. Preferably, the shaping mold 413 is locked on the clamping block 410 through locking parts such as screws. While being firmly fixed, it is convenient for the installation and replacement of the shaping mold 413, so that different shaping molds 413 can be replaced on the clamping block 410 according to shaping needs, and the applicable range is wider.

[0049] In this embodiment, a mounting seat 110 is provided on the frame 100. There are two first linear driving mechanisms 420. The two first linear driving mechanisms 420 are both arranged on the top of the mounting seat 110 and are locked with the mounting seat 110 through locking parts such as screws. The two first linear driving mechanisms 420 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 410. The driving rod of the first linear driving mechanism 420 is horizontally connected to the side of the clamping block 410 away from the sheet 600 to drive the clamping block 410 to approach or move away from the sheet 600.

[0050] The clamping block 410 includes a heating strip 412, a heat-conducting strip 411 and a heat-insulating plate 414. The heat-conducting strip 411 is connected to the driving shaft of the first linear driving mechanism 420. The shaping mold 413 is installed on the side of the heat-conducting strip 411. The heating strip 412 is attached to the bottom of the heat-conducting strip 411. The heat-insulating plate 414 covers the top of the heat-conducting strip 411. The heating strip 412 can heat the heat-conducting strip 411. The metal heat-conducting strip 411 can transfer heat to the metal shaping mold 413, that is, the heating strip 412 can heat the shaping mold 413 through the heat-conducting strip 411, so that the shaping mold 413 can heat and shape the sheet 600. The sheet 600 is deformed by high temperature to prevent the shaped sheet 600 from returning to its original shape, thereby achieving a better shaping effect on the sheet 600. At the same time, because the shaping mold 413 is installed on the side of the heat-conducting strip 411 instead of directly contacting the heating strip 412, the side of the shaping mold 413 can be evenly heated by the heat-conducting strip 411, and the temperature rise is more uniform, which prevents the local temperature of the side of the shaping mold 413 used for shaping from being too low or too high, and has a better shaping effect on the sheet 600. The heat insulation board 414 arranged on the top of the heat-conducting strip 411 can play a heat insulation effect, prevent the high-temperature top surface of the heat-conducting strip 411 from contacting or affecting other components, and ensure the stable operation of the shaping assembly 400.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the shaping mold 413 includes a back plate 4131 and a clamping protrusion 4132. The clamping protrusion 4132 is arranged on the side of the back plate 4131 and is integrally formed with the back plate 4131. The side of the back plate 4131 away from the clamping protrusion 4132 is in contact with the thermal conductive strip 411. At the same time, the back plate 4131 is fixed to the clamping block 410 by locking parts such as screws. A clamping groove 4133 is provided on the clamping protrusion 4132. When the shaping mold 413 clamps the sheet 600 to shape the sheet 600, the clamping groove 4133 avoids the rod body 700 inside the sheet 600, thereby enhancing the fitting effect between the sheet 600 at the position of the avoidance cavity 630 and the outer side of the rod body 700 as much as possible, and the shaping effect is good. A plurality of clamping protrusions 4132 are provided on the side wall of the thermally conductive strip 411 to simultaneously shape a plurality of sheets 600. The plurality of clamping protrusions 4132 are arranged at equal intervals on the back plate 4131, so that deformation gaps 4134 are formed on both sides of each clamping protrusion 4132. When the shaping mold 413 heats and extrude the sheet 600, the sheet 600 is deformed by the heat and extruded to both sides of the clamping protrusion 4132. The deformation gap 4134 can accommodate the extruded sheet 600 to ensure smooth deformation of the sheet 600.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, a cooling assembly 500 is further provided on the rack 100 in this embodiment. The cooling assembly 500 is located at the output end of the shaping assembly 400. The cooling assembly 500 includes two cooling blocks 510 respectively located on both sides of the sheet 600 and two second linear driving mechanisms 520. The driving shafts of the two second linear driving mechanisms 520 are respectively connected to the sides of the two cooling blocks 510 away from the sheet 600, and are used to drive the cooling blocks 510 to approach or move away from the sheet 600. The cooling blocks 510 are attached to the shaped sheet 600 to quickly cool the heated and shaped sheet 600, so that the sheet 600 stays in the shape after being extruded by the shaping die 413, that is, to consolidate the deformation effect of the sheet 600 and ensure that the sheet 600 entering the next process does not undergo secondary deformation due to excessive temperature. Preferably, in this embodiment, both the first linear driving mechanism 420 and the second linear driving mechanism 520 are cylinders, because cylinders can adapt to various working environments and output a relatively large force. As the first linear driving mechanism 420 and the second linear driving mechanism 520, they can play a better role in extruding and shaping the sheet 600.

[0053] The shaping process of the sheet 600 by the rod inserting device is as follows:

[0054] When the sheet 600 to be shaped moves between the two shaping dies 413, first, the rod body 700 is inserted into the sheet 600 through the rod inserting assembly 300. Then, the driving shafts of the two first linear driving mechanisms 420 extend to make the two heat conducting strips 411 approach the sheet 600. The two heat conducting strips 411 drive the shaping dies 413 to approach the sheet 600. At the same time, the heating strips 412 at the bottom of the heat conducting strips 411 heat the shaping dies 413 through the heat conducting strips 411, so that the clamping protrusions 4132 on the high-temperature shaping dies 413 extrude the sheet 600 to extrude the avoidance cavity 630. The inner wall of the avoidance cavity 630 fits with the outer wall of the rod body 700 to seal the gap between the avoidance cavity 630 and the periphery of the rod body 700, preventing the filling liquid from entering the operation cavity 620 through the avoidance cavity 630 from the material cavity 610 during filling and causing pollution, ensuring that the filling liquid can only stay in the material cavity 610. Then, the driving shafts of the two first linear driving mechanisms 420 retract to move away from the shaped sheet 600. The shaped sheet 600 moves between the two cooling blocks 510. The two cooling blocks 510 are pushed by the driving shafts of the second linear driving mechanisms 520 to approach and fit with the sheet 600 to quickly cool and shape the sheet 600 at the shaping position. Finally, the driving shafts of the two second linear driving mechanisms 520 drive the cooling blocks 510 to move away from the sheet 600 to allow the sheet 600 to move to the next process.

[0055] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
