Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to food processing technology, in particular to an automatic feeding device for high-temperature sterilization of food cans. Background Art

[0002] Canned food mainly includes two categories. One is canned food that contains soup to maintain a better taste, such as common canned fruits. The other is solid food cans with no or almost no soup. The cans are all solid food, such as various luncheon meats and pure meat cans. For the first category of canned food, a variety of sterilization methods including spraying and boiling can be used during sterilization. However, for the second category of solid food cans, since the food filled in the cans is all in solid form and there is basically no liquid such as soup, the efficiency of heat transfer from the outside of the can packaging to the solid food inside the can during the sterilization heating process is very low, so the common sterilization methods such as spraying and boiling are no longer applicable.

[0003] With the improvement of people's living standards and the acceleration of the pace of life, more and more people like to eat canned food. The improvement of the level of food processing allows canned food to be stored for a long time. The existing packaging methods basically use assembly lines for processing and production or are made by manual processing and adding. The existing flow devices are all controlled by electricity, which is less stable than mechanical control. Manual addition of canned food packaging can easily cause problems such as insufficient packaging and inconsistent net content of canned food, and the intensity is high and the efficiency is low.

[0004] The Chinese utility model patent with the announcement number CN220055092U discloses an automatic feeding device for high temperature sterilization of canned abalone. The automatic feeding device for high temperature sterilization of canned abalone can quickly carry out roller conveying treatment on canned abalone through the roller conveyor and the adjustment mechanism provided. The canned abalone can be automatically limited during the canned food conveying process so that the canned abalone can be conveyed at the middle position of the roller conveyor, effectively ensuring the high temperature sterilization treatment effect of the subsequent canned abalone. The feeding mechanism provided can automatically drive the inclined plate to slowly tilt the feeding during the conveying process of the canned abalone on the roller conveyor, and a large number of canned abalone can be quickly poured into the feeding process. The automatic feeding device has a high degree of automation, can significantly feed the canned abalone, and can automatically adjust the conveying position of a large number of canned abalone in cooperation with the adjustment mechanism, thereby improving the feeding automation.

[0005] When the existing equipment is in use, the cans need to be manually put in one by one, and during the putting-in process, the food cans need to be placed in the middle position of the roller conveyor. Moreover, in food production, when the weight of the food needs to be inspected, the commonly used weighing device often displays the unqualified weight products in the form of data display or alarm, and the unqualified products can only be taken out manually according to the displayed results, which increases the labor force. Therefore, an automatic feeding device for high-temperature sterilization of canned food has been developed. Summary of the invention

[0039] The transmission component 2 includes a driving member 21 connected to the base 1 , a rotating shaft 23 is provided at the output end of the driving member 21 , a supporting column 22 is provided at the lower end of the inner cavity of the base 1 , and the upper end of the supporting column 22 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23 .

[0040] In this solution, the driving member 21 is a device with power output such as a motor, and is connected to an external control device. When the driving member 21 is started, it synchronously drives the rotating shaft 23 arranged at the output end to rotate, wherein the support column 22 is distributed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23, and is used to support the rotating shaft 23 to ensure that the rotating shaft 23 is protected when the rotating shaft 23 rotates.

[0041] Furthermore, a movable block 24 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23, and a push block 25 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23 and on one side of the movable block 24. A fixed block 26 is provided at the lower end of the inner cavity of the base 1 and on one side of the push block 25.

[0042] Specifically, when the rotating shaft 23 rotates, the push block 25 arranged on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23 is synchronously driven to rotate, wherein the cross-section of the push block 25 is elliptical, and then when the push block 25 rotates, the adjusting rod 261 is pushed to rotate around the fixed block 26, thereby driving the end of the adjusting rod 261 away from the push block 25 to move upward or downward.

[0043] At the same time, a spring or other elastic component is provided at the lower end of the adjusting rod 261 near the push block 25, and one end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the base 1, and the other end is connected to one end of the adjusting rod 261, so that the adjusting rod 261 is supported by the spring.

[0045] Specifically, when the end of the adjusting rod 261 moves upward, the movable rod 262 arranged on the adjusting rod 261 is driven to move, and the movable rod 262 is simultaneously driven to move, wherein the conveying member 264 is a material conveying pipe, and a switch valve is arranged at the end of the material conveying pipe, and the food is quantitatively conveyed through the switch valve, and the switch valve is connected to an external control device.

[0046] Furthermore, a rotating plate 27 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the base 1, and a plurality of groups of protrusions 271 are arranged at the lower end of the rotating plate 27, and the plurality of groups of protrusions 271 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the rotating plate 27. At the same time, the outer surface of the protrusion 271 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the movable block 24, and a support rod 28 is arranged at the upper end of the rotating plate 27, and the upper end of the support rod 28 passes through and extends to the upper end of the base 1.

[0047] Specifically, the movable block 24 is spiral-shaped as a whole, so that when the rotating shaft 23 rotates, the protrusion 271 set at the lower end of the rotating plate 27 is pushed to move, so that the entire rotating plate 27 rotates around the connection with the base 1, and when the rotating plate 27 rotates, the support rod 28 set on the rotating plate 27 is synchronously driven to rotate.

[0048] Furthermore, a limit block 265 is provided on the outer surface of the conveying member 264, and the end of the limit block 265 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod 28. A protective tube 29 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the support rod 28, and the outer surface of the protective tube 29 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the base 1.

[0049] Specifically, the conveying member 264 moves up and down following the movable rod 262, and is limited by the limit block 265, so that when the conveying member 264 moves up and down, the lower end of the conveying member 264 is accurately docked with the can, and the upper end of the conveying member 264 is connected to the external material conveying pipe.

[0050] Furthermore, the limiting assembly 3 is assembled on the support rod 28 , and the can body is positioned and transported through the limiting assembly 3 .

[0051] The limiting assembly 3 includes a bottom plate 31 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support rod 28 , a circular ring 32 is arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate 31 , and a plurality of protective blocks 33 are evenly arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate 31 and outside the circular ring 32 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the ring 32 is provided with a device with telescopic function such as an electric telescopic rod, and is connected to an external control device. At the same time, the protective block 33 is located at the upper end of the bottom plate 31, and the overall cross-section is semicircular, which is used to protect the tank body.

[0053] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the protection block 33 is provided with a base 34 , and the upper end of the base 34 is provided with a power member 35 . The upper end of the power member 35 is provided with a fixing plate 36 , and the output end of the power member 35 penetrates and extends to the outside of the fixing plate 36 .

[0054] The output end of the power member 35 is provided with a positioning rod 37, and an adjustment plate 38 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the positioning rod 37. An elastic member 371 is sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning rod 37, one end of the elastic member 371 is connected to the adjustment plate 38, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 36.

[0055] Specifically, the power member 35 is a device with a telescopic function such as an electric telescopic rod, and is connected to an external control device. When the power member 35 is started, the positioning rod 37 disposed on the power member 35 is synchronously driven to move.

[0056] The elastic member 371 is an elastic member such as a spring, and supports the adjustment plate 38 so that the adjustment plate 38 is always in a stable state. At the same time, it ensures that after the adjustment plate 38 moves, the adjustment plate 38 is restored to its initial position through the elastic member 371.

[0057] Furthermore, a plurality of connecting blocks 361 are evenly arranged on the upper end of the fixing plate 36, and a clamping block 382 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the connecting block 361.

[0058] A support plate 39 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the positioning rod 37 , and an arc plate 383 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the clamping block 382 .

[0059] Specifically, when the support plate 39 moves downward, it also drives the adjustment plate 38 to move downward. Since the outer surface of the adjustment plate 38 is rotatably connected to the adjustment block 381, the adjustment plate 38 moves in cooperation with the adjustment block 381, pulling the clamping block 382 to rotate around the upper end of the connecting block 361, and making the upper end of the clamping block 382 move toward the middle, and the arc plate 383 installed on the upper end of the clamping block 382 moves synchronously, thereby limiting the outer surface of the tank body and ensuring that it is in a stable state as a whole during loading. A weight detection device is provided at the upper end of the support plate 39 and is connected to an external control device for detecting the overall weight of the tank body.

[0060] When the tank body is placed on the pallet 39, the power member 35 cooperates with the positioning rod 37 to drive the pallet 39 to move downward, so that the clamping block 382 and the arc plate 383 rotating on the outer surface of the adjustment plate 38 move closer to the middle, fixing the outer surface of the tank body, and at the same time cooperating with the transmission component 2 to drive the entire limit component 3 to move, and when the tank body moves to the bottom of the conveying member 264, the inside of the tank body is filled, and the weight detection equipment installed on the pallet 39 is used to control the weight of the filling to keep it within a normal range.

[0061] After the filling is completed, the bottom plate 31 rotates to move the filled can body to the output position, and the power piece 35 drives the support plate 39 to move upward until the can body moves to the top and stops. The electric telescopic rod on the ring 32 pushes the filled can body to the transmission component to facilitate subsequent operations on the can body.

[0062] The control device can select a single-chip microcomputer as the control end. In this embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer is a typical embedded microcontroller (Microcontroller Unit), which is composed of an arithmetic unit, a controller, a memory, an input and output device, etc., which is equivalent to a microcomputer. Compared with the general-purpose microprocessor used in personal computers, it emphasizes self-supply (no external hardware) and cost saving. Its biggest advantage is that it is small in size and can be placed inside the instrument, but it has a small storage capacity, a simple input and output interface, and low functional consumption.

[0063] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
