[0002] Konjac is the general name for the genus Amorphophallus in the family Araceae. In cultivation, it belongs to the tuber crop. Konjac is rich in carbohydrates, low in calories, and has a higher protein content than potatoes and sweet potatoes. It is also rich in trace elements, vitamin A, vitamin B, etc., and is especially rich in glucomannan, which has the effects of weight loss, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, detoxification and bowel movement, cancer prevention and calcium supplementation.

[0003] Meanwhile, konjac noodles are popular because they are low in calories, contain dietary fiber, and are fat-free. However, most existing konjac noodle knots are tied manually, which is inefficient and has a low yield, making it difficult to scale up production. Furthermore, the limited daily output of manual knotting means that many konjac food manufacturers cannot handle large orders for konjac noodles. Therefore, designing an automated and efficient device for konjac noodle knotting is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0036] A. Materials. Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a konjac noodle knotting machine includes a feeding mechanism 1 for feeding materials to a fixed length. The feeding mechanism 1 is used to convey strip-shaped materials and can stop after conveying a set length. A cutting mechanism 2 is located above the end of the feeding mechanism 1 and is used for cutting the materials into shreds. The cutting mechanism 2 includes a drive shaft located above the feeding mechanism 1, and a drive mechanism connected to the drive shaft to drive its rotation. A circular combined blade is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft. The combined blade rotates to cut the strip-shaped materials on the feeding mechanism 1 into shreds. A picking and moving mechanism 3 is located below the feeding mechanism 1 and can move horizontally and perpendicular to the feeding path of the feeding mechanism 1. A knotting mechanism 5 is located above the picking and moving mechanism 3 and is driven by it to move horizontally. A cutting and clamping mechanism 4 is located above the knotting mechanism 5 and moves horizontally synchronously with it. The cutting and clamping mechanism 4 can move to directly below the feeding mechanism 1 to cut the falling shredded materials and clamp them before moving them to one side. When the material feeding mechanism 4 is located directly below the material feeding mechanism 1, the material falls from the material feeding mechanism 1 and enters the cutting and clamping mechanism 4 vertically. The knotting moving mechanism 6 is located on one side of the material picking moving mechanism 3 and can move vertically and horizontally perpendicular to the path of the material picking moving mechanism 3. The knotting and winding mechanism 7 is located on the opposite side of the cutting and clamping mechanism 4 and is driven by the knotting moving mechanism 6. The knotting moving mechanism 6 includes a vertically arranged linear moving module. The linear moving module is connected to a lifting platform driven by it to move vertically. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lifting platform. A slide cylinder is fixedly provided on the mounting plate. The slide of the slide cylinder can move horizontally closer to or away from the cutting and clamping mechanism 4. The knotting and winding mechanism 7 is provided on the slide. The knotting work is completed with the cooperation of the filamentous material threading and knotting mechanism 5 and the knotting and winding mechanism 7 carried to one side by the cutting and clamping mechanism 4. It can effectively replace manual labor and improve the efficiency of konjac shred knotting work.

[0040] Furthermore, two workstations can be set on both sides of the feeding mechanism 1. Each workstation is equipped with a material picking and moving mechanism 3, a cutting and clamping mechanism 4, a knotting mechanism 5, a knotting moving mechanism 6, and a knotting and winding mechanism 7. The two workstations can cyclically cut and clamp materials from below the feeding mechanism 1 in sequence. When one workstation cuts and clamps the material and carries the material to one side for winding and knotting, the other workstation simultaneously cuts and clamps the material, thereby achieving continuous and efficient knotting work.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the material handling moving mechanism 3 is a linear moving module, which can complete the linear reciprocating motion of material handling. The top of the material handling moving mechanism 3 is provided with a moving platform 301 that is driven by it to move horizontally. The top of the moving platform 301 is provided with the threading mechanism 5. A vertical support component 302 is fixedly provided on the moving platform 301. The support component 302 is a vertical support plate fixedly connected to the moving platform 301. The top of the support component 302 is fixedly provided with the cutting and clamping mechanism 4. The cutting and clamping mechanism 4 is always located above the threading mechanism 5.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cutting and clamping mechanism 4 includes a cutting platform 401 fixedly connected to the support assembly 302. The cutting platform 401 is horizontally arranged. A first telescopic assembly 402, which is horizontally oriented towards the material, is fixedly provided on the top of the cutting platform 401. The first telescopic assembly 402 is a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic rod of the first telescopic assembly 402 is connected to a clamping flexible plate 403 and can drive the clamping flexible plate 403 to move back and forth linearly. A second telescopic assembly 404, which is horizontally oriented towards the material, is fixedly provided on the top of the first telescopic assembly 402. The second telescopic assembly 404 is a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic rod of the second telescopic assembly 404 is connected to a cutter 405 and can drive the cutter 405 to move back and forth linearly. The clamping flexible plate 403 is located below the cutter 405. A material blocking bracket 303 is also fixedly connected to the side of the moving platform 301. A material blocking plate 406, which is parallel to the clamping flexible plate 403 and has the same height, is fixedly connected to the top of the material blocking bracket 303. The material blocking plate 406 is also provided with a cutting groove 407 corresponding to the cutter 405.

[0043] When performing the cutting and clamping operation, the material picking and moving mechanism 3 drives the cutting and clamping mechanism 4 to move directly below the feeding mechanism 1. The material enters vertically between the baffle plate 406, the cutter 405, and the clamping flexible plate 403. First, the clamping flexible plate 403 and the baffle plate 406 clamp the material. Then, the cutter 405 cuts the material above the clamping flexible plate 403. After the material is cut, it is moved to one side by the material picking and moving mechanism 3.

[0044] To prevent the material from being crushed, the baffle plate 406 and the clamping soft plate 403 are provided with a soft clamping layer on their opposite sides that is in contact with the material. The clamping layer is made of soft materials such as PU, which can both compress the material and prevent it from being crushed.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the threading mechanism 5 includes a third telescopic component 501 fixedly mounted on the mobile platform 301. The third telescopic component 501 is a telescopic cylinder. The third telescopic component 501 is located directly below the first telescopic component 402 and is horizontally oriented towards the material. The telescopic rod of the third telescopic component 501 is connected to the threading gripper component 502 and can drive the threading gripper component 502 to reciprocate linearly. The threading gripper component 502 includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the third telescopic component 501. A pneumatic gripper that can open and close is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the knotting and winding mechanism 7 includes a rotary power assembly 701 connected to and driven by the knotting moving mechanism 6 to adjust its position, and a material blocking assembly 702 disposed on the material blocking bracket 303. The rotary power assembly 701 includes a motor fixedly disposed on the slide table, the motor is connected to a reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to a horizontal and perpendicular rotating shaft 708 through a coupling. The material blocking assembly 702 is located below the material blocking plate 406 and its height is higher than the knotting mechanism 5. There is a gap between the material blocking assembly 702 and the material blocking bracket 303. The rotating shaft 708 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 703, and the end of the rotating bracket 703 is connected to a winding claw assembly 704 that can enter between the material blocking assembly 702 and the knotting mechanism 5.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the material blocking assembly 702 includes a guide seat 705 fixedly connected to the material blocking bracket 303 and a fourth telescopic assembly 706 fixedly connected to the material blocking bracket 303. The fourth telescopic assembly 706 is a telescopic cylinder. The guide seat 705 has a horizontal guide hole and a material blocking rod 707 is movably connected to it. The guide hole and the material blocking rod 707 are horizontal and perpendicular to the rotation axis 708. The telescopic rod of the fourth telescopic assembly 706 is parallel to the material blocking rod 707 and connected to it through a connecting block. The fourth telescopic assembly 706 can drive the guide rod to move back and forth in a straight line along the guide hole. There is space between the material blocking rod 707 and the material blocking bracket 303 for the winding gripper assembly 704 to enter and rotate.

[0048] To facilitate the entry of the winding gripper assembly 704 between the stop bar 707 and the threading gripper assembly 502, the rotating bracket 703 is an n-shaped bracket. One end of the rotating bracket 703 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 708, and the other end is fixedly connected to the winding gripper assembly 704, which is arranged perpendicular to the rotating shaft 708. The winding gripper assembly 704 includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 703, and a pneumatic gripper is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] To improve the stability of material conveying, based on Embodiment 1, the feeding mechanism 1 is an active belt conveyor, and the top of the feeding mechanism 1 is also provided with a pressing component 101 that cooperates with it to press the material. The pressing component 101 is a driven belt conveyor, and the belt of the driven belt conveyor is parallel to and close to the belt of the active belt conveyor. The material passes between the driven belt conveyor and the active belt conveyor.

[0051] This invention also provides a method for knotting konjac noodles, the specific knotting steps being:

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, after the material falls from the feeding mechanism 1, it enters vertically between the baffle assembly 702 and the threading clamping claw assembly 502. The top of the material is cut off by the cutting clamping mechanism 4 and clamped by the clamping flexible plate 403 and the baffle plate 406. At this time, the bottom of the material is located below the threading clamping claw assembly 502. The knotting moving mechanism 6 drives the winding clamping claw assembly 704 to move to the set position and then stops. At this time, the opening of the rotating bracket 703 faces the material. The material is carried by the picking moving mechanism 3 towards the winding clamping claw assembly 704, so that there is relative movement between the material and the winding clamping claw assembly 704. The winding clamping claw assembly 704 enters between the material and the threading clamping claw assembly 502 in a horizontal state. At this time, the height of the winding clamping claw assembly 704 is between the clamping flexible plate 403 and the baffle assembly 702.

[0053] Then, as Figure 8 As shown, the knotting moving mechanism 6 drives the winding gripper assembly 704 to move horizontally, and the mounting plate of the winding gripper assembly 704 hooks the material and moves to the side of the material blocking assembly 702 away from the knotting gripper assembly 502.

[0054] Then, as Figure 9 As shown, the rotating power component 701 drives the winding gripper component 704 to rotate 270°. After the rotation is completed, the winding gripper component 704 is in a vertical state. The height of the winding gripper component 704 is between the threading gripper component 502 and the stop bar 707, and the bottom end of the material is still below the threading gripper component 502.

[0055] Then, as Figure 10 As shown, the third telescopic component 501 drives the threading clamping claw component 502 to move toward the winding clamping claw component 704, and the threading clamping claw component 502 clamps the material and drives it to move toward the winding clamping claw component 704.

[0056] Then, as Figure 11As shown, the bottom of the material is clamped by the winding gripper assembly 704, the knotting gripper assembly 502 opens to release the material, and the knotting moving mechanism 6 drives the winding gripper assembly 704 to rise.

[0057] Then, as Figure 12 As shown, the winding gripper assembly 704 clamps the bottom end of the material and passes through the material being wound to complete the knotting process;

[0058] Finally, the clamping plate 403 leaves the baffle plate 406, the top of the material is released, the winding gripper assembly 704 releases the material, and the unloading operation is completed.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
