Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material conveying, and in particular relates to a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production. Background Art

[0002] Canned food refers to food made from processed, canned, sealed, sterilized or aseptically packaged raw materials. Canned food is a special form of food preservation method. Since various canned foods can be stored for a long time at room temperature, they are easy to carry, transport and store, save cooking procedures, and overcome the seasonal and regional restrictions on food supply.

[0003] Some existing canned fruit foods require cutting the fruit into granules during the production process and then adding them into the cans in a quantitative manner. The existing raw material adding mechanism for canned food production usually uses a screw conveying mechanism to intermittently push the fruit granules to achieve quantitative feeding of the fruit granules when adding the fruit granules into the cans.

[0004] On the one hand, due to the stickiness of the fruit particles, the fruit particles fed downwards tend to stick together, causing metering errors; on the other hand, the fruit particles are generally not easy to fill the spiral conveying mechanism, which leads to errors in volume measurement, ultimately making it difficult to accurately measure the amount of fruit particles during the fruit particle addition process using this method.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Under the elastic thrust of the No. 1 spring, the sealing plate squeezes the fruit particles in the discharging cavity to increase the filling density of the fruit particles in the discharging cavity. Under the push of the spiral conveying mechanism, when the fruit particles push the sealing plate to abut against the limit sleeve, the discharging cavity will be filled with fruit particles;

[0022] 2. Push the fruit particles to fill the discharge cavity. At this time, the sealing plate is pressed to move closer to the limiting sleeve. In this process, under the action of the extrusion force, the juice in the fruit particles is squeezed out of the fruit particles, and the squeezed juice flows into the vertical pipe. When the liquid level monitor detects that the juice flowing into the vertical pipe reaches the preset liquid level, it means that the elastic limiting force of the No. 1 spring on the sealing plate is too large, causing the fruit particles in the discharge cavity to be over-extruded. At this time, the elastic telescopic sleeve contracts, thereby reducing the elastic thrust of the No. 1 spring on the sealing plate, so that the extrusion force of the fruit particles in the discharge cavity is reduced, avoiding excessive extrusion of the fruit particles in the discharge cavity;

[0023] 3. As the central axis rotates, the telescopic push plate expands to push the fruit particles, and the screen plate and the telescopic push plate push the fruit particles to flip in the discharge chamber. The screen plate separates the fruit particles that stick together through vibration. The separated fruit particles are discharged from the discharge hole under the push of the telescopic push plate, and the unseparated fruit particles continue to be dispersed under the vibration screening of the screen plate until all the fruit particles are evenly dispersed and discharged from the discharge hole;

[0024] 4. After the air pump is evacuated, the hose guides the airflow to the central axis, and then the airflow blows to the two sieve plates through the air holes; on the one hand, the wind can accelerate the dispersion of the fruit particles stuck together, and on the other hand, the wind can blow off the juice attached to the sieve plate to avoid juice residue on the sieve plate;

[0025] Furthermore, when the central axis drives all the sieve plates to rotate, the wind force of the air holes can flow outward through the vertical pipe and the air outlet sleeve, so that the inner wall of the monitoring component is quickly dried, avoiding residual juice on the side wall of the vertical pipe and causing detection errors of the liquid level monitor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention comprises a quantitative tube 1, a support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the quantitative tube 1, the quantitative tube 1 is connected to a feed box 2, a separation sleeve 3 is arranged in the middle of the quantitative tube 1, the separation sleeve 3 is provided with a telescopic baffle 10 capable of separating the quantitative tube 1, and a discharge cavity 17 and a feeding cavity 18 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the telescopic baffle 10, and a spiral conveying mechanism 4 is arranged in the feeding cavity 18, and the spiral conveying mechanism 4 can convey the fruit particles dropped from the feed box 2 to the discharge cavity 17;

[0037] A sealing plate 12 is slidably connected along the inner wall of the discharge chamber 17 and is sealed. The top of the discharge chamber 17 is connected to a monitoring component 7, and the monitoring component 7 can monitor the degree of squeezing of fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17. A rotating sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the inner end surface of one side of the discharge chamber 17, and the sealing plate 12 is slidably connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 11. A limiting sleeve 5 for limiting the sealing plate 12 is fixedly arranged in the discharge chamber 17, and an elastic component 6 is also arranged in the discharge chamber 17. The elastic component 6 can push the sealing plate 12 to elastically press the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17. A discharge hole 15 is arranged at the bottom of the discharge chamber 17, and an electric baffle 16 capable of closing the discharge hole 15 is connected to the outer wall of the discharge chamber 17;

[0038] The discharging cavity 17 is also provided with a dispersing mechanism 8, which can disperse the fruit particles in the discharging cavity 17 and transport them outwards. The dispersing mechanism 8 is connected to a blower mechanism 9, which can discharge the juice attached to the dispersing mechanism 8 outwards.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fruit particles are fed from the feed box 2 into the feed cavity 18, and then the spiral conveying mechanism 4 in the feed cavity 18 pushes the fruit particles into the discharge cavity 17, and the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 push the sealing plate 12 to slide until the sealing plate 12 abuts against the limiting sleeve 5, and the discharge cavity 17 is filled with a certain amount of fruit particles. At this time, the telescopic baffle 10 in the separation sleeve 3 closes the discharge cavity 17, and the electric baffle 16 is opened, and the discharge cavity 17 is connected to the outside through the discharge hole 15, so that the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 are quantitatively fed into the tank body;

[0040] In the above process, when the fruit particles push the sealing plate 12 to abut against the limiting sleeve 5, the discharge cavity 17 may not be filled, resulting in uneven volume of the fruit particles finally delivered to the tank body. If the fruit particles are continuously delivered to the discharge cavity 17 and pressurized, the juice in the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 will be squeezed out in large quantities, causing the fruit particles to be crushed and lose their taste.

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic component 6 is provided to push the sealing plate 12 to elastically press the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17, thereby avoiding the situation that the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17 cannot be filled. At the same time, the monitoring component 7 is provided in the discharge chamber 17 to monitor the degree of squeezing of the fruit particles. When the degree of squeezing of the fruit particles is too large, the squeezing force of the elastic component 6 on the fruit particles is reduced to avoid crushing of the fruit particles.

[0042] Furthermore, the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17 are squeezed against each other and easily stick together to form a mass. At this time, if the fruit particles are directly discharged into the can body, the uneven distribution of the fruit particles in the can body will affect the taste of the can. The bulking mechanism 8 in this embodiment can disperse the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17 and transport them outwardly. At the same time, the air blowing mechanism 9 can discharge the juice attached to the bulking mechanism 8 to the outside, thereby preventing the juice from remaining on the bulking mechanism 8 and rotting and changing its taste.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention, the elastic component 6 includes an elastic telescopic sleeve 61 and a No. 1 spring 62, the elastic telescopic sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the inner end surface of the discharge cavity 17, and the elastic telescopic sleeve 61 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating sleeve 11, and a No. 1 spring 62 is connected between the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic sleeve 61 and the sealing plate 12.

[0044] In this embodiment, under the elastic thrust of the No. 1 spring 62, the sealing plate 12 squeezes the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17 to increase the filling density of the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17. Under the push of the spiral conveying mechanism 4, when the fruit particles push the sealing plate 12 to abut against the limiting sleeve 5, the discharge chamber 17 will be filled with fruit particles.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention is provided, wherein the monitoring component 7 includes a vertical pipe 71, an air outlet sleeve 72 and a liquid level monitor 73;

[0046] The vertical pipe 71 is connected to the discharge chamber 17 , and a filter screen is arranged between the vertical pipe 71 and the discharge chamber 17 . The upper end of the vertical pipe 71 is connected to an air outlet sleeve 72 , and a liquid level monitor 73 is arranged in the vertical pipe 71 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the spiral conveying mechanism 4 pushes the fruit particles to fill the discharge chamber 17. At this time, the sealing plate 12 is pressed to move closer to the limiting sleeve 5. In this process, under the action of the extrusion force, the juice in the fruit particles is squeezed out of the fruit particles, and the squeezed juice flows into the vertical pipe 71. When the liquid level monitor 73 detects that the juice flowing into the vertical pipe 71 reaches the preset liquid level, it means that the elastic limiting force of the No. 1 spring 62 on the sealing plate 12 is too large, causing the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17 to be excessively squeezed. At this time, the elastic telescopic sleeve 61 contracts, thereby reducing the elastic thrust of the No. 1 spring 62 on the sealing plate 12, so that the squeezing force of the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17 is reduced, thereby avoiding excessive squeezing of the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17.

[0048] An air outlet sleeve 72 is provided at the end of the vertical pipe 71 , and the air in the discharge cavity 17 can be discharged through the air outlet sleeve 72 , thereby preventing a large amount of air from mixing into the discharge cavity 17 .

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention is provided, wherein the bulk material mechanism 8 comprises a central shaft 81, a sieve plate 82 and a telescopic push plate 83;

[0050] The rotating sleeve 11 is slidably connected with a central shaft 81 along the length direction, and the central shaft 81 is fixedly connected with two sieve plates 82 and a telescopic push plate 83, and the telescopic push plate 83 is arranged between the two sieve plates 82;

[0051] One end of the central shaft 81 passes through the outside of the quantitative tube 1, and the outer end surface of the quantitative tube 1 is fixedly connected with a fixing seat 13. The central shaft 81 passes through the fixing seat 13. A boss is arranged on the outside of the central shaft 81. A No. 2 spring 85 is sleeved between the boss of the central shaft 81 and the fixing seat 13. A driving assembly 84 for driving the central shaft 81 to rotate is arranged on the fixing seat 13. A toothed disc 86 is fixedly connected with the end surface of the fixing seat 13. The toothed disc 86 is sleeved on the outside of the central shaft 81. The end of the central shaft 81 is fixedly connected with a transmission block 87, and the transmission block 87 is elastically abutted against the toothed disc 86.

[0052] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 84 drives the central shaft 81 to rotate, and when the central shaft 81 rotates, the transmission block 87 is driven to rotate at the same time, and the transmission block 87 moves along the toothed disc 86. Under the guiding effect of the toothed disc 86 and the elastic limiting effect of the second spring 85, the central shaft 81 slides back and forth along the rotating sleeve 11, so that the screen plate 82 and the telescopic push plate 83 connected to the central shaft 81 continue to vibrate;

[0053] When the fruit particles are discharged through the discharge hole 15, as the central shaft 81 rotates, the telescopic push plate 83 expands to push the fruit particles, the sieve plate 82 and the telescopic push plate 83 push the fruit particles to flip in the discharge chamber 17, and the sieve plate 82 separates the fruit particles that are stuck together by vibration. The separated fruit particles are discharged from the discharge hole 15 under the push of the telescopic push plate 83, and the unseparated fruit particles continue to be dispersed under the vibration screening of the sieve plate 82 until all the fruit particles are evenly dispersed and discharged from the discharge hole 15.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention is provided, wherein the driving assembly 84 includes a second motor 841, a gear sleeve 842 and a driving wheel 843;

[0055] The gear sleeve 842 is rotatably connected to the outer end surface of the quantitative tube 1, and the central shaft 81 is slidably connected to the gear sleeve 842. The second motor 841 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 13. The output shaft of the second motor 841 is fixedly connected to a driving wheel 843, and the driving wheel 843 is meshed with the gear sleeve 842.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second motor 841 drives the driving wheel 843 to rotate, and through the meshing of the driving wheel 843 and the gear sleeve 842, the gear sleeve 842 drives the central shaft 81 to rotate.

[0057] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention, the air blowing mechanism 9 includes an air pump 91, a hose 92 and an air hole 93;

[0058] The air pump 91 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 13, and is connected to a hose 92. The hose 92 is connected to the central axis 81 through a rotating joint. The end surfaces on both sides of the telescopic push plate 83 are provided with a plurality of air holes 93, and the air holes 93 on both sides of the telescopic push plate 83 are respectively facing the two sieve plates 82, and the central axis 81 is connected to the telescopic push plate 83.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the air pump 91 evacuates air, the hose 92 guides the airflow to the central axis 81, and then the airflow blows toward the two sieve plates 82 through the air holes 93; on the one hand, the fruit particles stuck together can be dispersed faster under the action of wind force, and on the other hand, the wind force can blow off the juice attached to the sieve plates 82 to avoid juice residue on the sieve plates 82;

[0060] Furthermore, when the central shaft 81 drives all the sieve plates 82 to rotate, the wind force of the air holes 93 can flow outward through the vertical pipe 71 and the air outlet sleeve 72, so that the inner wall of the monitoring component 7 is quickly dried, thereby avoiding the residual juice on the side wall of the vertical pipe 71 and causing the liquid level monitor 73 to detect errors.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, a raw material adding mechanism for canned food production provided by the present invention, the spiral conveying mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a pushing plate 42 and a first motor 43;

[0062] The rotating shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the inner end surface of the feeding cavity 18, and a pushing plate 42 is spirally arranged along the length direction of the rotating shaft 41. The outer end surface of the quantitative tube 1 is fixedly connected to a No. 1 motor 43, and the rotating shaft 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the No. 1 motor 43.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first motor 43 is started, the first motor 43 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 41 drives the pushing plate 42 to push the fruit particles dropped into the feed box 2 into the discharge cavity 17.

[0064] Working principle:

[0065] The fruit particles are fed from the feed box 2 into the feed cavity 18, and then the spiral conveying mechanism 4 in the feed cavity 18 pushes the fruit particles into the discharge cavity 17, and the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 push the sealing plate 12 to slide until the sealing plate 12 abuts against the limiting sleeve 5, and the discharge cavity 17 is filled with a certain amount of fruit particles. At this time, the telescopic baffle 10 in the separation sleeve 3 closes the discharge cavity 17, and the electric baffle 16 is opened, and the discharge cavity 17 is connected to the outside through the discharge hole 15, so that the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 are quantitatively fed into the tank body;

[0066] Specifically, under the elastic thrust of the No. 1 spring 62, the sealing plate 12 squeezes the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17, increasing the filling density of the fruit particles in the discharge chamber 17. When the fruit particles push the sealing plate 12 to abut against the limit sleeve 5 under the push of the spiral conveying mechanism 4, the discharge chamber 17 is filled with fruit particles;

[0067] The spiral conveying mechanism 4 pushes the fruit particles to fill the discharge cavity 17. At this time, the sealing plate 12 is pressed to move closer to the limiting sleeve 5. In this process, under the action of the extrusion force, the juice in the fruit particles is squeezed out of the fruit particles, and the squeezed juice flows into the vertical pipe 71. When the liquid level monitor 73 detects that the juice flowing into the vertical pipe 71 reaches the preset liquid level, it means that the elastic limiting force of the No. 1 spring 62 on the sealing plate 12 is too large, causing the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 to be excessively squeezed. At this time, the elastic telescopic sleeve 61 contracts, thereby reducing the elastic thrust of the No. 1 spring 62 on the sealing plate 12, so that the squeezing force of the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17 is reduced, thereby avoiding excessive squeezing of the fruit particles in the discharge cavity 17.

[0068] An air outlet sleeve 72 is provided at the end of the vertical pipe 71 , and the air in the discharge cavity 17 can be discharged through the air outlet sleeve 72 , thereby preventing a large amount of air from mixing into the discharge cavity 17 .

[0069] When the fruit particles are discharged through the discharge hole 15, the driving assembly 84 drives the central shaft 81 to rotate, and the central shaft 81 drives the transmission block 87 to rotate at the same time when the central shaft 81 rotates. The transmission block 87 moves along the toothed disc 86. Under the guiding effect of the toothed disc 86 and the elastic limiting effect of the second spring 85, the central shaft 81 slides back and forth along the rotating sleeve 11, so that the sieve plate 82 and the telescopic push plate 83 connected to the central shaft 81 continue to vibrate; as the central shaft 81 rotates, the telescopic push plate 83 unfolds to push the fruit particles, and the sieve plate 82 and the telescopic push plate 83 push the fruit particles to turn over in the discharge cavity 17. The sieve plate 82 separates the fruit particles that stick together through vibration. The separated fruit particles are discharged from the discharge hole 15 under the push of the telescopic push plate 83, and the unseparated fruit particles continue to be dispersed under the vibration screening of the sieve plate 82 until all the fruit particles are evenly dispersed and discharged from the discharge hole 15.

[0070] After the air pump 91 draws air, the hose 92 guides the airflow to the central axis 81, and then the airflow blows toward the two sieve plates 82 through the air holes 93; on the one hand, the wind can accelerate the dispersion of the fruit particles stuck together, and on the other hand, the wind can blow off the juice attached to the sieve plates 82 to avoid the juice residue on the sieve plates 82;

[0071] Furthermore, when the central shaft 81 drives all the sieve plates 82 to rotate, the wind force of the air holes 93 can flow outward through the vertical pipe 71 and the air outlet sleeve 72, so that the inner wall of the monitoring component 7 is quickly dried, thereby avoiding the residual juice on the side wall of the vertical pipe 71 and causing the liquid level monitor 73 to detect errors.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
