Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly relates to a meatball forming and automatic cartoning production device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] my country's culinary culture has a long history and boasts a rich and diverse menu, with meatballs being a beloved favorite. Meatballs generally refer to spherical foods made primarily of chopped meat. Modern meatballs incorporate ingredients like eggs and starch, resulting in a more bouncy and smooth texture. To meet market demand, modern meatball production is mostly carried out using meatball forming machines. Once formed, the raw meatballs are boxed and quickly delivered to consumers' kitchens or tables via vacuum packaging and cold chain transport, resulting in a sophisticated meatball production and packaging process. Raw meatballs are uncooked meatballs, and many consumers, to suit their individual tastes and recipes, often purchase them raw and then cook or fry them to their liking. However, there is currently no cartoning device that matches the meatball forming machine after the raw meatballs are formed. If they are to be boxed, they need to be manually received by the formed meatballs and then boxed. This process is inefficient and wastes a lot of manpower and time. In addition, multiple steps affect the shape of the raw meatballs and affect food hygiene. Manually receiving the raw meatballs requires holding a container and reaching under the equipment, which brings safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to address the existing problems of a lack of an automatic cartoning device and corresponding method for raw meatballs that are compatible with meatball forming machines. This results in the need for manual handling and cartoning of raw meatballs after forming, which leads to low efficiency, affects the shape and hygiene of the meatballs, and creates safety hazards. The present invention proposes an automatic cartoning production device for meatball forming and a method for using the same. The present invention can process and shape meatball making materials and carton the formed raw meatballs in a quick and efficient manner, thereby improving work efficiency, ensuring product quality, and avoiding safety hazards.

When the opening and closing knives are not in operation, the arc-shaped blades of the two sets of opening and closing knives are combined to form a shape that matches the ball outlet; when the opening and closing knives are in operation, the two sets of opening and closing knives move relative to each other, severing the connection between the meatball and the raw material, causing the meatball to fall.

[0010] As a further technical improvement, a pallet stopper is provided on the side of the conveyor frame. The pallet stopper is in the shape of an inverted "L" and extends to the upper part of the conveyor belt edge to press down and flatten the passing pallet.

[0011] As a further technical improvement, the meatball cartoning device is further provided with an alarm device connected to a control system and provided with a loudspeaker and an alarm light.

[0012] Method for using the above-mentioned meatball forming and automatic cartoning production device:

[0013] Initial filling: Initially, there is no meatball raw material inside the various components of the meatball forming device; the meatball raw material is beaten into a paste and poured into the feed hopper; a tray is placed on the tray placement section of the conveyor belt, and no tray is placed on the tray placement section in the first position; when the conveyor belt is running and the color photoelectric sensor recognizes the starting mark, it means that the meatballs will be formed and boxed. The horizontal filling push rod and the vertical filling push rod move at least twice in succession, so that the originally empty filling box, feeding gear and mold are quickly filled with meatball raw material; at this time, the meatballs will not be squeezed out of the pill outlet, and the opening and closing cutters will not move;

[0014] Ball forming: The conveyor belt continues to move forward for a distance of S1, and then the color photoelectric sensor recognizes the placement mark, indicating that it is about to be boxed; at this time, the vertical filling push rod moves to squeeze the raw materials out of the ball outlet to form balls; at this time, the opening and closing knife does not move, and the formed balls do not fall;

[0015] Automatic pill loading: The conveyor belt continues to move forward for a certain distance S2. At this time, due to the obstruction of the tray, the color photoelectric sensor cannot recognize the placement mark point, which means that there is a tray on the tray placement part; then the opening and closing of the knife cuts the formed meatballs from the raw materials, and the meatballs fall into the meatball receiving compartments on the tray below the pill outlet; then the conveyor frame moves along the moving track for a distance S3, so that the adjacent meatball receiving compartments in the same row on the same tray move below the pill outlet and continue to load pills; when the meatball receiving compartments in the same row are full, the conveyor belt continues to drive the tray to move, so that the meatball receiving compartments in other rows on the same tray or the meatball receiving compartments on the adjacent tray move below the pill outlet; and so on and so forth, automatic pill loading continues;

[0016] Device alarm: When the color photoelectric sensor recognizes the placement part marking point, the conveyor belt continues to run for a certain distance S2. At this time, if the color photoelectric sensor recognizes the dropping marking point, it means that there is no tray in the tray placement part, the opening and closing cutter does not act, the balls are not cut, the conveyor belt pauses, and the alarm device gives an alarm.

[0017] The distance between the induction starting punctuation and the placement part marking point is S1; the distance between the placement part marking point and the dropping marking point is S2; the distance between two adjacent ball loading grids on the same group of trays is S3; the distance between the dropping marking point and the next placement part marking point is S4; S1 > S2 = S3 = S4.

[0018] The initial feeding time is T1; the ball forming time is T2; the time interval for the conveyor belt to run the distance S1 is T3; the time interval for the conveyor belt to run the distance S2 is T4; the time interval for the conveyor belt to run the distance S3 is T5; after the conveyor belt runs the distance S2, the time for the tray to move to below the ball outlet is T6; T1 < T3, T2 < T4 + T6, T2 < T5. Such a design can make full use of the running time of the conveyor belt, prepare the steps for ball forming during the movement of the tray, and can immediately start the opening and closing cutter when the tray moves to below the ball outlet, so that the balls fall into the tray, improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0019] When the color photoelectric sensor detects a group of placement part marking points, the conveyor belt continues to run forward for a certain distance S2. If the photoelectric sensor does not detect the dropping marking point, a certain number of ball forming and opening and closing cutter actions are continuously carried out, and the continuous number is the same as the number of ball loading grids on the tray. That is, after detecting a group of trays, ball forming and cutting of the connection parts of the balls by the opening and closing cutter are continuously carried out, and the continuous number is the number of ball loading grids on the tray.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The present invention forms the ball raw materials through the ball forming device, and realizes the automatic boxing of the formed balls through the ball boxing device, without manual boxing, greatly improving the working efficiency, and can also reduce the influence on the shape and hygiene of the balls during the manual boxing process, and eliminate the safety hazards brought by manual boxing.

[0022] 2. The present invention can monitor the placement and running conditions of the trays on the conveyor belt through the starting punctuation, the placement part marking point, and the dropping marking point, and control the actions of the ball boxing device according to the placement and running conditions of the trays, so that the ball forming device and the ball boxing device are matched, and the device runs smoothly.

[0023] 3. The present invention determines the position of the tray by detecting each marking point, calculates the running time, and uses the time it takes for the conveyor belt to drive the tray to move to form the meatballs, thereby making full use of time and improving work efficiency.

[0024] 4. The present invention can determine whether there is a tray on the conveyor belt through the combined detection of various marking points, thereby controlling the molding and delivery of raw materials to avoid the occurrence of incorrect delivery. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A method for using the meatball forming and automatic cartoning production device according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that: 1) Initial filling: Initially, there is no meatball raw material inside the various components of the meatball forming device; the meatball raw material is beaten into a paste and poured into the feed hopper (2); a tray (17) is placed on the tray placement part of the conveyor belt (15), and no tray (17) is placed on the tray placement part arranged in the first position; the conveyor belt (15) is running, and the color photoelectric sensor (24) recognizes the starting mark (A1), indicating that meatballs are about to be formed and boxed, and the horizontal filling push rod (7) and the vertical filling push rod (10) are successively moved at least twice, so that the filling box (3), the feeding gear (4) and the mold (5) that were originally empty inside are quickly filled with meatball raw material; at this time, the meatballs are not squeezed out from the pill outlet (26), and the opening and closing knife (12) does not move; 2) Ball forming: The conveyor belt (15) continues to move forward a distance S1, and then the color photoelectric sensor (24) recognizes the placement portion mark point (A2), indicating that the boxing is about to begin; at this time, the vertical filling push rod (10) is activated to squeeze the raw materials out of the ball outlet (26) to form balls; at this time, the opening and closing knife (12) does not move, and the formed balls do not fall; 3) Automatic pill loading: The conveyor belt (15) continues to move forward for a certain distance S2. At this time, due to the obstruction of the tray (17), the color photoelectric sensor (24) cannot recognize the placement mark point (A3), which means that the tray (17) is placed on the tray placement part; then the opening and closing knife (12) is operated to cut the formed balls from the raw materials, and the balls fall into the ball receiving compartment (18) of the tray (17) below the pill outlet (26); then the conveyor frame (14) moves along the moving track (21) Move a distance S3, so that the meatball receiving grids (18) in the same row and adjacent to each other on the same tray (17) move to below the pill outlet (26) and continue to load pills; when the meatball receiving grids (18) in the same row are full, the conveyor belt (15) continues to drive the tray (17) to move, so that the meatball receiving grids (18) in other rows on the same tray (17) or the meatball receiving grids (18) on the adjacent tray (17) move to below the pill outlet (26); and so on and so forth, the automatic pill loading continues; 4) Equipment alarm: When the color photoelectric sensor (24) identifies the placement mark point (A2), the conveyor belt (15) continues to run a certain distance S2. At this time, the color photoelectric sensor (24) identifies the delivery mark point (A3), which means that there is no tray (17) in the tray placement part, the opening and closing knife (12) does not move, the meatballs are not cut, the conveyor belt (15) pauses, and the alarm device sounds an alarm.

6. The method for using the meatball forming and automatic cartoning production device according to claim 5, characterized in that: The distance between the sensing starting point (A1) and the placement portion marking point (A2) is S1; the distance between the placement portion marking point (A2) and the delivery marking point (A3) is S2; the distance between two adjacent groups of meatball receiving compartments (18) on the same group of the tray (17) is S3; the distance between the delivery marking point (A3) and the next placement portion marking point (A2) is S4; S1>S2=S3=S4.

7. The method for using the meatball forming and automatic cartoning production device according to claim 6, characterized in that: The time for initial filling is T1; the time for pill forming is T2; the time interval for the conveyor belt (15) to run a distance S1 is T3; the time interval for the conveyor belt (15) to run a distance S2 is T4; the time interval for the conveyor belt (15) to run a distance S3 is T5; after the conveyor belt runs a distance S2, the time for the tray (17) to run to the bottom of the pill outlet (26) is T6; T1 <T3,T2<T4+T6,T2<T5。 8. The method for using the meatball forming and automatic cartoning production device according to claim 5, characterized in that: When the color photoelectric sensor (24) detects a set of placement mark points (A2), the conveyor belt (15) continues to move forward a certain distance S2. If the electric sensor (24) cannot detect the placement mark point (A3), the meatball forming and opening and closing knife actions are performed continuously for several times, and the number of times is the same as the number of meatball receiving grids (18) on the tray (17).
