Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of apple packaging equipment, and in particular to a continuous packaging equipment for apple processing. Background Art

[0002] The sale of apples is inseparable from transportation. In order to avoid bumps and damage to apples during transportation, apples need to be packaged. Usually, foamed polyethylene nets are used to package apples. They are composed of countless independent bubbles produced by physical foaming of low-density polyethylene. The shortcomings of ordinary foamed plastics, such as fragility, deformation, and poor recovery, are overcome. It has many advantages such as waterproof and moisture-proof, shockproof, soundproof, heat-insulating, good plasticity, strong toughness, recycling, environmental protection, and strong impact resistance. It also has good chemical resistance and is an ideal substitute for traditional packaging materials to play a role in buffering and protecting apples.

[0003] At present, most of the apple packaging process is done manually, and some are mechanically packaged. For example, the document (application number: CN201810535976.7) discloses an automated apple net packing machine, which includes a feeding device, a straightening device, a transport and straightening device, and a net packing device. This equipment is the same as most existing mechanical equipment. Apples are grabbed by a robot for net packing. Since apples need to be placed on a pallet for transportation on the packaging line, the robot needs to grab them from the pallet one by one, which has low packaging efficiency and high cost. At the same time, some packaged apples need to be dynamically weighed to ensure that the weight of each box of apples meets the requirements. This results in the apples needing to enter the conveyor line for transportation after netting, and the robot needs to place them on the pallet one by one, which seriously affects the packaging efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a continuous packaging device for apple processing.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

The flip assembly includes a bracket 4, which is erected on the ground and located between the feeding line 1 and the feeding line 2. A flip frame 5 is rotatably installed on the top of the bracket 4, and a lifting cylinder 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the flip frame 5. A material clamping assembly 6 is fixedly installed inside the flip frame 5, and a net assembly 7 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 51. A plurality of net reels 8 are rotatably installed inside the flip frame 5.

[0029] The material clamping assembly 6 includes a turning conveyor line body 61 fixedly installed inside the turning frame 5, a stopper 62 is fixedly installed on the right end of the turning conveyor line body 61, clamping cylinders 67 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the turning conveyor line body 61, and a clamping plate 65 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the clamping cylinder 67. The clamping plate 65 can clamp the apple tray 3, and the turning conveyor line body 61, the loading line body 1 and the unloading line body 2 can all convey the apple tray 3;

[0030] The net-covering assembly 7 includes a lifting frame 71 fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 51, and multiple groups of guide cylinders 73 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 71. A straight net-covering hole 74 is opened on the top of the guide cylinder 73. An inner hammer core 75 is stored inside the guide cylinder 73. Two groups of net-covering rollers 77 are rotatably installed inside the guide cylinder 73. The inner hammer core 75 is located between the two groups of net-covering rollers 77. Cutting cylinders 710 are fixedly installed on both sides of the guide cylinder 73. Two groups of cutting ring knives 711 are arranged inside the guide cylinder 73. The telescopic end of the cutting cylinder 710 is fixedly connected to the cutting ring knife 711.

[0031] The apples are stored on the apple tray 3 and transported to each workstation on the packaging conveyor line. The apple tray 3 drives the apples to be transported to the loading line 1. The loading line 1 transports the apple tray 3 and the apples to the flip conveyor line 61. The flip conveyor line 61 transports the apple tray 3 and the apples to the rightmost end of the flip conveyor line 61 and is stopped by the stopper 62. A plurality of apple trays 3 and apples are arranged on the flip conveyor line 61. At this time, the clamping cylinder 67 is running, and the clamping cylinder 67 drives the clamping plate 65 to hold the apple tray 3 and the apples. The plate 3 is clamped, and then the lifting cylinder 51 drives the lifting frame 71 to descend, and the lifting frame 71 drives multiple groups of guide cylinders 73 to descend synchronously. The guide cylinders 73 are sleeved on the apples and pressed on the top of the apple tray 3. Then the turning frame 5 is turned over, and the turning frame 5 drives the clamping assembly 6 and the net assembly 7 to turn over 180 degrees. At this time, the inner hammer core 75 is located below the apples, and the apple tray 3 is located above the apples. While turning over, the cutting cylinder 710 drives the cutting ring knife 711 away from the inner hammer core 75, and the inner hammer core 75 is not restricted around. And due to the setting of the straight mesh hole 74, when the mesh can be passed through, the inner hammer core 75 will not pass through the straight mesh hole 74, and the position of the inner hammer core 75 remains stable. At this time, the mesh roller 77 is controlled to rotate. The inner hammer core 75 has a large gravity and is restricted by the apple and the apple tray 3 above. Therefore, the mesh roller 77 stably drives the mesh to rise along the inner hammer core 75, and the inner hammer core 75 will not rise. The mesh is sleeved on the apple. After the sleeve is completed, the cutting cylinder 710 drives the cutting ring knife 711 to close together to cut the mesh, and the cutting The ring knife 711 clamps the inner hammer core 75. After the cutting is completed, the turning frame 5 drives the clamping assembly 6 and the net assembly 7 to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the apple tray 3 is located below the apples, and the inner hammer core 75 is located above the apples. The inner hammer core 75 is clamped by the cutting ring knife 711 and will not fall. The lifting cylinder 51 is controlled to operate, and the lifting cylinder 51 drives the lifting frame 71 to rise. The lifting frame 71 drives the guide cylinder 73 away from the apple tray 3. After the net is wrapped, the apples are located in the apple tray 3 and are transported to other stations through the unloading line 2.

[0032] It should be noted that the mesh on the mesh reel 8 passes through the straight mesh hole 74 and is sleeved on the inner hammer core 75. The inner hammer core 75 stably holds the mesh open, and cooperates with the mesh roller 77 to enable the mesh to be better sleeved on the apple. The sleeve structure is simple, and the loading line 1 and the unloading line 2 can be directly connected or use the existing apple packaging line. There is no need to change the internal line structure of the factory, the layout is more flexible, and the equipment cost is greatly reduced. Moreover, multiple apples can be packaged at a time, and the packaging efficiency is high.
