[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] An automatic food material sorting and packaging machine comprises a transfer sleeve 1 and a plurality of feeding pipes 2 arranged above the transfer sleeve 1, a feeding conveyor belt 3 and a feeding conveyor belt 4 for transporting packaging cans are respectively arranged on both sides of the transfer sleeve 1, and a connecting slot 5 is opened on both sides of the transfer sleeve 1;

[0032] A rotatable transfer ring 6 is arranged inside the transfer sleeve 1 , and a plurality of U-shaped notches 7 are formed in a circular array on the outer surface of the transfer ring 6 , and the U-shaped notches 7 are matched with the connecting notches 5 .

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 There are two rectangular notches at the bottom of the transfer sleeve 1, so that one end of the loading conveyor belt 3 and the unloading conveyor belt 4 are both set at the bottom of the transfer sleeve 1, and the top of the upper conveyor belt 3 and the unloading conveyor belt 4 and the bottom of the inner wall of the transfer sleeve 1 are located at the same horizontal plane, so that when the transfer ring 6 rotates inside the transfer sleeve 1, the packaging can inserted into the inner side of the U-shaped notch 7 can be rotated from the loading conveyor belt 3 to the transfer sleeve 1, or the food packaging can in the transfer sleeve 1 can be rotated from the transfer sleeve 1 to the unloading conveyor belt 4. The bottom of the inner wall of the transfer sleeve 1 is a smooth plane, which is convenient for the movement of the food packaging can inside the transfer sleeve 1.

[0034] The loading conveyor belt 3 and the unloading conveyor belt 4 can transport hard food cans, and foods of different colors or flavors produced on the production line can be transported to the transfer rack 1 through different unloading pipes 2.

[0035] A supporting mechanism 8 is provided at the bottom of the transfer sleeve 1, and the supporting mechanism 8 includes an annular base 81, and a lifting cylinder 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the annular base 81, and a rectangular bracket 83 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting cylinder 82. Two supporting plates 84 are fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular bracket 83, and the top of the support plate 84 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transfer sleeve 1, so as to provide support for the transfer sleeve 1.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 The lifting cylinder 82 can drive the rectangular bracket 83 to rise and fall, and the rectangular bracket 83 drives the upper transfer sleeve 1 to rise and fall, which is convenient for use on the loading conveyor belt 3 and the unloading conveyor belt 4 with different heights. The transfer sleeve 1 is fixed on the rectangular bracket 83 by two support plates 84, so that when the transfer sleeve 1 is set above the stepper motor 9, it will not generate downward pressure on the stepper motor 9, and can provide protection for the stepper motor 9.

[0037] A sliding ring groove 831 is formed at the bottom of the rectangular bracket 83 , and the top of the lifting cylinder 82 passes through the sliding ring groove 831 and is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the rectangular bracket 83 .

[0038] like Figure 5 The lifting cylinder 82 passes through the sliding ring groove 831 at the bottom of the rectangular bracket 83. While the lifting cylinder 82 can facilitate the rectangular bracket 83 to move up and down, the lifting cylinder 82 can also limit the up and down sliding of the rectangular bracket 83, making the up and down sliding of the rectangular bracket 83 more stable.

[0039] A stepper motor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular bracket 83 and located below the transfer sleeve 1. A rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 9. The top of the rotating rod 10 passes through the transfer sleeve 1 and is fixedly connected to the center position of the transfer ring 6, so as to drive the transfer ring 6 to rotate in the transfer sleeve 1.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 There is an opening at the center position of the bottom of the transfer sleeve 1, which is convenient for the top of the rotating rod 10 to pass through the transfer sleeve 1, driving the transfer ring 6 to rotate inside the transfer sleeve 1. The stepper motor 9 is externally connected to a power supply and will rotate the same angle each time it is started, so that the previous U-shaped notch 7 can be rotated to the position of another U-shaped notch 7.

[0041] An annular support plate 11 is disposed on the top of the transfer sleeve 1 , and a plurality of inclined feeding racks 12 are fixedly connected to one side of the annular support plate 11 and located below the feeding pipe 2 , and a feeding rack 12 is disposed below each feeding pipe 2 .

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 There is a feeding rack 12 under each feeding tube 2, so that foods in different feeding tubes 2 can fall into different feeding racks 12.

[0043] A supporting connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the annular supporting disk 11 , and one end of the supporting connecting rod 13 away from the annular supporting disk 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding rack 12 for providing support for the annular supporting disk 11 .

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The annular support plate 11 is fixed by a supporting connecting rod 13 so that the annular support plate 11 is located above the transfer ring 6 but does not affect the rotation of the transfer ring 6.

[0045] An electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the center position of the top of the annular support plate 11, and a connecting frame 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod 14. An arc plate 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 15. A plurality of partition plates 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc plate 16 and located above the feeding rack 12, and a partition plate 17 is provided above each feeding rack 12.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A partition plate 17 is provided on each feeding rack 12, so that the partition plate 17 descends into the feeding rack 12, and the feeding rack 12 can be cut off to prevent the food from sliding off the feeding rack 12.

[0047] An arc connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular bracket 83 , and a plurality of upwardly curved connecting rods 19 are fixedly connected to the arc connecting rod 18 . A plurality of lower hoppers 20 are fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 19 and located above the transfer sleeve 1 .

[0048] The lower hopper 20 is disposed below one end of the feeding rack 12 away from the annular support plate 11 , and a lower hopper 20 is disposed below each feeding rack 12 .

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 There is a corresponding lower hopper 20 below one end of each feeding rack 12, so that the food sliding down from the feeding rack 12 can fall into the lower hopper 20, and each lower hopper 20 is located above the U-shaped groove 7, so that when the food can is inserted into the U-shaped groove 7, the food can fall into the food can through the lower hopper 20.

[0050] The working principle of the automatic food material sorting and packaging machine provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0051] When the food packaging can is transported along the feeding conveyor belt 3, it will be transported to the U-shaped notch 7 on the transfer ring 6 through the connecting notch 5 on one side of the transfer sleeve 1, and then the stepper motor 9 is started to drive the transfer ring 6 to rotate on the transfer sleeve 1, and the transfer sleeve 1 drives the card inserted into the U-shaped notch 7 to rotate, so that each food can can be inserted into a U-shaped notch 7 when it is transported to the transfer sleeve 1, and rotate on the transfer sleeve 1 along with the transfer ring 6;

[0052] When the electric telescopic rod 14 is extended, the arc plate 16 can be driven upward through the connecting frame 15, and the arc plate 16 drives all the partition plates 17 to move upward, so that the partition plates 17 are separated from the feeding frame 12. At this time, the food dropped onto the feeding frame 12 through the lower feeding pipe 2 can slide along the feeding frame 12 and fall into the lower hopper 20, and then fall into the food cans stuck in the U-shaped notch 7 along the lower hopper 20. Then the electric telescopic rod 14 contracts and drives the arc plate 16 to move downward through the connecting frame 15, and the arc plate 16 drives all the partition plates 17 to move downward, so that the partition plates 17 are stuck on the feeding frame 12, and the food is stopped from being transported through the feeding frame 12. The stepper motor 9 drives the transfer ring 6 to rotate, and the food cans in the U-shaped notch 7 are transferred again.

[0053] Each food can will pass under each lower hopper 20 in turn. Each time it passes over a lower hopper 20, the electric telescopic rod 14 will extend and retract, so that the food inside different lower feeding tubes 2 can be input into the lower hopper 20 through the feeding rack 12, and the food from different lower feeding tubes 2 can be loaded into the food cans.

[0054] The food cans filled with food can be transferred to the unloading conveyor belt 4 along with the rotation of the transfer ring 6, and transported to the next processing link along the unloading conveyor belt 4.

[0055] Compared with the related art, the automatic food material sorting and packaging machine provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0056] By arranging a rotatable transfer ring 6 on the transfer sleeve 1, each food can can be inserted into a U-shaped groove 7 when being transported from the loading conveyor belt 3 to the lower feeding conveyor belt 4, and then transported with the rotation of the transfer ring 6, and pass through the bottom of each lower feeding hopper 20 in turn, and load the food from different lower feeding tubes 2 into the food can to complete the packaging of block food. After packaging, the food can rotates with the transfer ring 6 to the lower feeding conveyor belt 4, and the packaging can with food loaded is transported to the next processing link through the lower feeding conveyor belt 4, so as to quickly and conveniently complete the packaging of food of different flavors and colors.

[0057] By extending and contracting the electric telescopic rod 14, all the partition plates 17 can be driven to move up and down. When the partition plates 17 are stuck on the feeding rack 12, the transportation of food through the feeding rack 12 can be stopped, ensuring that the food will not fall when the transfer ring 6 drives the food can to rotate, thereby avoiding the food from falling into the outside of the food can and causing waste. When the food can rotates to the bottom of the lower hopper 20, the partition plates 17 rise, so that the food can be transported to the inside of the food can through the feeding rack 12 and the lower hopper 20, thereby completing the packaging of the food.

[0058] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
