Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sausage production technology, specifically a tying machine for sausage production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the production of grilled sausages involves processes such as filling the sausage and tying it with wire. The tying process involves binding the opening of the sausage bag with wire after filling the sausage to seal it.

[0003] In existing technologies, the tying of the sausage bag opening mostly relies on a tying machine. However, most existing tying machines are semi-automatic. The tying process requires a person to hold the sausage and place the sausage bag opening into the tying port of the tying machine before starting the machine. This method of tying the sausage bag opening is relatively traditional, requires a lot of manual labor, and results in low tying efficiency, which urgently needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

One end of the second cutter is fixedly connected to the first support plate via a support rod. Magnets are embedded in the arc-shaped inner walls of both sets of arc-shaped pressure plates. Both sets of arc-shaped pressure plates are connected to the arc-shaped support plate via spring clips.

[0014] A second arc-shaped groove is also provided at the bottom of the first arc-shaped groove, and the diameter of the second arc-shaped groove is larger than the diameter of the first arc-shaped groove.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention: a first connecting rod is fixedly provided on the side wall of the arc-shaped support plate, and a second connecting rod is fixedly provided at the end of the first connecting rod away from the arc-shaped support plate. The second connecting rod is vertically distributed and extends to the outside of the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates. A pressure rod is hinged to one side of the second connecting rod. The pressure rod extends between the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates. The pressure rod and the second connecting rod are connected by a spring, and the spring is used to provide elastic tension to the pressure rod.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention: the conveying assembly includes a conveying roller, a conveyor belt, and an arc-shaped limiting plate.

[0017] The conveyor rollers are provided in two sets, and the two sets of conveyor rollers are respectively installed on opposite sides of the support platform. One set of conveyor rollers is controlled by a drive motor to rotate intermittently. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the two sets of conveyor rollers. The arc-shaped limiting plates are provided at intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt in several sets.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention: the yarn feeding assembly includes a yarn feeding motor, a yarn feeding roller, and a third support plate.

[0019] The third support plate is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the support platform, the wire feeding motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the third support plate, and the wire feeding roller is installed at the output end of the wire feeding motor.

The two sets of wire feeding rollers are respectively mounted on the output ends of the two sets of wire feeding motors.

[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention: the driving component is a hydraulic cylinder or a linear motor.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, when tying the opening of the sausage bag, the bagged sausages can be placed on a conveying assembly. The conveying assembly intermittently conveys the sausages. When a group of sausage bag openings is conveyed to the space between the base and the pressing assembly, the drive assembly moves the pressing assembly downwards. The pressing assembly presses the bottom wire along with the sausage bag opening into the first arc-shaped groove on the upper part of the base. After the wire enters the first arc-shaped groove, it tightens the sausage bag opening, thus achieving automatic tying of the current sausage. After the current sausage bag opening is tied, the drive assembly moves the pressing assembly upwards, and the conveying assembly operates again to... The bag opening of the subsequent sausage is conveyed again to the space between the pressing component and the base. At the same time, the unwinding component unwinds the subsequent wire, and the feeding component conveys the unwound wire to the bottom of the pressing component, realizing automatic wire supply. The drive component moves the pressing component down again, and the pressing component pushes the wire supplied at its bottom, along with the subsequent sausage, into the first arc-shaped groove again to tie the bag opening of the subsequent sausage again.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 This embodiment provides a tying machine for sausage production, including a support platform 10, a conveying assembly 20, a pressing assembly 30, a driving assembly 40, a base 50, a feeding assembly 60, and a releasing assembly 70. The conveying assembly 20 is disposed on the support platform 10 and is used for intermittently conveying sausages. A first support plate 101 is fixedly disposed on the upper edge of the support platform 10. The base 50 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support platform 10, and a first arc-shaped groove 501 is formed on the upper part of the base 50. The releasing assembly 70 and the feeding assembly 60... Installed on one side of the support platform 10, the wire pressing assembly 30 is disposed above the base 50. The drive assembly 40 is installed on the top inner side of the first support plate 101 and is used to drive the wire pressing assembly 30 to move up and down. When the wire pressing assembly 30 moves down, it can press the wire and the opening of the sausage bag together into the first arc-shaped groove 501 and drive the wire to tie the opening of the sausage bag tightly. The wire unwinding assembly 70 is used to unwind the wire, and the wire feeding assembly 60 is used to intermittently feed the wire unwinding by the wire unwinding assembly 70 to the bottom of the wire pressing assembly 30.

[0033] When tying the opening of the sausage bag, the bagged sausages can be placed on the conveying component 20. The conveying component 20 intermittently conveys the sausages. When a group of sausage bag openings is conveyed to the space between the base 50 and the wire pressing component 30, the drive component 40 moves the wire pressing component 30 downwards. The wire pressing component 30 presses the bottom wire along with the sausage bag opening into the first arc-shaped groove 501 on the upper part of the base 50. After the wire enters the first arc-shaped groove 501, it tightens the sausage bag opening, realizing the automatic tying of the current sausage. After the current sausage bag opening is tied, the drive component 40 drives... The pressing component 30 moves upward, and the conveying component 20 operates again to convey the bag opening of the subsequent sausage to the space between the pressing component 30 and the base 50. At the same time, the unwinding component 70 unwinds the subsequent wire, and the feeding component 60 conveys the unwound wire to the bottom of the pressing component 30 to achieve automatic wire supply. The driving component 40 drives the pressing component 30 to move downward again, and the pressing component 30 drives the wire supplied at its bottom, along with the subsequent sausage, to be pressed into the first arc-shaped groove 501 again to tie the bag opening of the subsequent sausage again. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous automatic tying of the sausage bag opening.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In one embodiment, the wire pressing assembly 30 includes an arc-shaped support plate 301 and two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302. The arc-shaped support plate 301 is installed at the output end of the drive assembly 40. The two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 are respectively hinged to opposite sides of the arc-shaped support plate 301. A first cutter 306 is provided at the bottom of one set of arc-shaped pressure plates 302, and a second cutter 307 is provided below the first cutter 306. One end of the second cutter 307 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 101 through a support rod. Magnets (not shown in the figure) are embedded on the arc-shaped inner walls of both sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302. Both sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 are connected to the arc-shaped support plate 301 through spring pieces 304. A second arc-shaped groove 502 is also provided at the bottom of the first arc-shaped groove 501. The diameter of the second arc-shaped groove 502 is larger than the diameter of the first arc-shaped groove 501.

[0035] When a set of sausage bag openings is conveyed between the base 50 and the wire pressing assembly 30, the drive assembly 40 moves the arc-shaped support plate 301 and two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 downwards. As one set of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 moves downwards, the shearing action between the first cutter 306 and the second cutter 307 cuts off a portion of the wire located at the bottom of the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302. The cut wire is attracted by magnets on the inner walls of the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 and remains at the bottom. Then, the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 continue to move downwards, pressing the bottom wire along with the sausage bag opening into the first arc-shaped groove 501. The first set of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 extends into the second arc-shaped groove 502 and rotates closer to the arc-shaped support plate 301 under the push of the second arc-shaped groove 502. When the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 approach each other, they drive the wire to bend. The bent wire wraps around the outside of the sausage bag opening, thus tightening the sausage bag opening. After the sausage bag opening is tightened, the drive component 40 drives the arc-shaped support plate 301 and the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 to move upward. The two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 exit from the first arc-shaped groove 502. The spring action of the spring piece 304 drives the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 to rotate and unfold in the opposite direction relative to the arc-shaped support plate 301, thus resetting the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, a first connecting rod 303 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the arc-shaped support plate 301, and a second connecting rod 304 is fixedly disposed at the end of the first connecting rod 303 away from the arc-shaped support plate 301. The second connecting rod 304 is vertically distributed and extends to the outside of the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302. A pressure rod 308 is hinged to one side of the second connecting rod 304. The pressure rod 308 extends between the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302. The pressure rod 308 and the second connecting rod 304 are connected by a spring 309, which provides elastic tension to the pressure rod 308.

[0037] When the arc-shaped support plate 301 and the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 move downward, the arc-shaped support plate 301 can also drive the pressure rod 308 downward through the first connecting rod 303 and the second connecting rod 304. When the pressure rod 308 moves downward, it can act on the opening of the sausage bag and press the opening of the sausage bag into the first arc-shaped groove 501, so that the opening of the sausage bag can be smoothly gathered in the first arc-shaped groove 501. This makes it easier for the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 to press the wire into the second arc-shaped groove 502 later. It can successfully tie the opening of the sausage bag; when the pressure rod 308 presses the opening of the sausage bag into the first arc groove 501, the pressure rod 308 acts on the bottom of the first arc groove 501 and deflects upward relative to the second connecting rod 304. When the pressure rod 308 deflects, it exits from the first arc groove 501. Then, the two sets of arc pressure plates 302 extend into the second arc groove 502 and drive the wire to bend, thereby clamping the gathered opening of the sausage bag and successfully tying the opening of the sausage bag.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the conveying assembly 20 includes a conveying roller 201, a conveyor belt 202, and an arc-shaped limiting plate 203. The conveying roller 201 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of conveying rollers 201 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the support platform 10. One set of conveying rollers 201 is controlled by a drive motor (not shown in the figure) to rotate intermittently. The conveyor belt 202 is sleeved on the outside of the two sets of conveying rollers 201. The arc-shaped limiting plate 203 is provided in several sets at intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 202.

[0039] Several sausages to be tied are placed inside several arc-shaped limiting plates 203. A drive motor drives one set of conveying rollers 201 to rotate intermittently, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 202 and several arc-shaped limiting plates 203 to rotate intermittently. The arc-shaped limiting plates 203 intermittently convey several sausages. When a set of arc-shaped limiting plates 203 conveys the corresponding sausage to one side of the base 50, the sausage bag opening extends between the base 50 and the pressing assembly 30. The drive assembly 40 drives the arc-shaped support plate 301 corresponding to the pressing assembly 301 and the two sets of arc-shaped pressing plates 302 to move down, so as to tie the sausage bag opening.

[0040] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment, the yarn feeding assembly 70 includes a yarn feeding motor 701, a yarn feeding roller 702, and a third support plate 703. The third support plate 703 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support platform 10. The yarn feeding motor 701 is fixedly disposed on one side of the third support plate 703. The yarn feeding roller 702 is installed at the output end of the yarn feeding motor 701. The yarn feeding assembly 60 includes a yarn feeding motor 601, a yarn feeding roller 602, and a second support plate 603. The second support plate 603 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support platform 10. There are two sets of yarn feeding rollers 602 and yarn feeding motors 601. The two sets of yarn feeding motors 601 are fixedly installed on one side of the second support plate 603 and are distributed vertically at intervals. The two sets of yarn feeding rollers 602 are respectively installed at the output ends of the two sets of yarn feeding motors 601.

[0041] After the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 tie the cut iron wire at the bottom to the outside of a sausage bag, the drive assembly 40 drives the arc-shaped support plate 301 and the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 to move upward. When the arc-shaped support plate 301 and the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302 move upward to the initial position, the wire feeding motor 701 drives the wire feeding roller 702 to rotate, thereby unwinding the iron wire wound on the wire feeding roller 702. At the same time, the two sets of wire feeding motors 601 drive the two sets of wire feeding rollers 602 to rotate relative to each other. When the two sets of wire feeding rollers 602 rotate relative to each other, they clamp the unwound iron wire, causing the unwound iron wire to move towards the bottom of the two sets of arc-shaped pressure plates 302, thereby realizing the automatic supply of iron wire.

[0042] In one embodiment, the drive component 40 may be a hydraulic cylinder or a linear motor, and there is no limitation herein.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, a plurality of legs 101 are fixedly provided on the bottom edge of the support platform 10.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, when tying the opening of the sausage bag, the bagged sausages can be placed on the conveying component 20. The conveying component 20 intermittently conveys the sausages. When a certain group of sausage bag openings is conveyed between the base 50 and the pressing component 30, the driving component 40 drives the pressing component 30 to move downwards. The pressing component 30 presses the bottom wire along with the sausage bag opening into the first arc-shaped groove 501 on the upper part of the base 50. After the wire enters the first arc-shaped groove 501, it tightens the sausage bag opening, realizing the automatic tying of the current sausage. After the current sausage bag opening is tied, the driving component 40 drives the pressing component 30 to move upwards, and the conveying component 20 again... The action involves conveying the bag opening of the subsequent sausage back to the space between the pressing assembly 30 and the base 50. Simultaneously, the unwinding assembly 70 unwinds the subsequent wire, and the feeding assembly 60 conveys the unwound wire to the bottom of the pressing assembly 30, achieving automatic wire supply. The driving assembly 40 then moves the pressing assembly 30 downward again, and the pressing assembly 30, along with the subsequent sausage, presses the wire supplied at its bottom into the first arc-shaped groove 501 again to re-tie the bag opening of the subsequent sausage. This cycle repeats, enabling continuous automatic tying of the sausage bag opening. Compared to existing technologies, this method achieves continuous automatic tying of sausages, offering advantages such as better tying effect and higher tying efficiency.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
