Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material conveying, and particularly relates to a new type of fully automatic cloth weighing and dish loading food production line. Background Art
[0002] Lyophilization technology, one of the methods to keep substances from spoiling, is to pre-cool and freeze a substance containing a large amount of water into a solid, and then directly sublimate the solid water under vacuum conditions, while the substance itself remains in the ice shelf during freezing, so its volume remains unchanged after drying. When solid water sublimates, it absorbs heat, causing the temperature of the product itself to drop and slowing down the sublimation rate. In order to increase the sublimation rate and shorten the drying time, the product must be appropriately heated. The entire drying process is carried out at a relatively low temperature.
[0003] Currently, in the production and processing of food, after the material to be lyophilized is pretreated, it usually needs to be diced or pre-frozen, and then the processed material is evenly distributed on food trays, and finally the material trolley carrying multiple food trays is transported to the lyophilization chamber to complete the lyophilization processing of the food; however, in the prior art, the above processing procedures are all separate, that is, the material transfer process between adjacent processing procedures is relatively troublesome, affecting the work process, and there are also production lines for the above processing procedures, but their functional use is insufficient. Especially for the transfer process of food trays, it is relatively inconvenient to transport a single food tray onto the material trolley. For example, for a single material trolley, only one group of food trays can be placed, and a large number of material trolleys are required to achieve this process. Of course, there are also material trolleys in the shape of the Chinese character "feng", which requires manual placement of multiple single food trays onto the material trolley one by one, which undoubtedly increases the labor intensity of people, limits the work process, and cannot meet the use requirements.

[0030] Examples, such as Figure 1 to Figure 9As shown, a new type of fully automatic food production line for distributing, weighing and placing on a plate includes an upper plate area, and the upper plate area includes a loading conveyor 1 with a chain conveying structure, which is an existing mature and conventional technical means, that is, the conveying chains on both sides are used to transport the food plate, which can not only ensure the continuity of the conveying process, but also provide convenience for the establishment of the weighing area 2. The setting height of the loading conveyor 1 is lower than the height of the subsequent feeding area 4. First, it is convenient for the food plate to be conveniently placed on the loading conveyor 1, and second, it provides convenient conditions for the food plate in subsequent weighing and distributing processes. Further, a food plate is placed on the loading conveyor 1, a weighing area 2 is provided at the end of the upper plate area, and a distributing area is provided above the weighing area 2. The distributing area is a telescopic distributing machine 3, and it receives the food material to be distributed, wherein the established telescopic distributing machine 3 is the same as the structure of the telescopic conveyor belt distributing machine in the prior art, so as to ensure that the processed material can be evenly placed on the food On the food tray, the work progress is improved. Further, the two cooperate with each other. On the one hand, the distribution area can receive the processed materials and arrange the materials in the food tray in an equidistant manner, so as to complete the convenient distribution of food materials and improve the work progress. On the other hand, the weighing area 2 can receive the transported single food tray and move it toward the position close to the distribution area to avoid the material from falling during the distribution process. At the same time, its step-by-step movement also ensures the uniformity of the material distribution. In addition, the establishment of the weighing module 24 also makes the materials carried on the food tray relatively consistent, ensuring the work progress. The established feeding area 4 can transport the food tray after distribution to the subsequent processing steps to ensure the continuity of production and processing work; the front side of the upper plate area is provided with a feeding area 4 designed in an L shape, and the established feeding area 4 can transport the food tray after distribution to the subsequent processing steps to ensure the continuity of production and processing work.A material outlet area 5 is provided on one side of the long side of the feeding area 4, which can receive the material clamped by the material taking-up manipulator 6 from the feeding area 4 and convey the food tray in an alternating manner. Material taking-up manipulators 6 are provided on both sides of the material outlet area 5, which transfer and convey the food tray on the feeding area 4 to the material outlet area 5. A pushing area 7 is provided on the material outlet area 5, which conveys the material on the material outlet area 5 to the subsequent material holding area 8. A material holding area 8 is provided behind the material outlet area 5, and the material holding area 8 includes a stabilizing frame 9. The stabilizing frame 9 A first lifting adjustment group 10 is arranged on the top, a concave plate 11 is arranged above the first lifting adjustment group 10, a first hollow rotating platform 12 is arranged on the concave plate 11, a material carrier 13 is arranged above the first hollow rotating platform 12, a material carrier 14 is arranged above the material carrier 13, and the material carrier 14 is unified with the material carrier 14 placed in the freeze-drying bin, so as to realize the placement of multiple food trays and ensure the smooth development of subsequent processing work. Specifically, the first lifting adjustment group 10 can control the material carrier 14 to perform lifting and adjustment in the vertical direction, and the empty When placing food trays on the material carrier 14, the process is carried out from the bottom to the top in sequence, which optimizes the feeding process, and the first hollow rotating platform 12 is set up to ensure that food trays are evenly placed on both sides of the material carrier 14, thereby improving the working process; a feeding trolley 15 is arranged at the rear side of the material holding area 8, and the feeding trolley 15 includes a traveling frame 151, and a moving wheel 152 is arranged at the bottom of the traveling frame 151. A second lifting adjustment group 153 is arranged above the traveling frame 151, and its working principle and working method are the same as those of the first lifting adjustment group 10. Specifically, It will not be repeated here. A feeding support frame 16 is arranged above the second lifting and adjusting group 153, and a fork mechanism 17 is arranged above the feeding support frame 16. The specific description is as follows: after the materials on the material holding area 8 are completely placed, the second lifting and adjusting group 153 in the feeding trolley 15 is controlled to operate, and the position of the fork mechanism 17 is adjusted. Then, under the action of the moving wheel 152, the fork mechanism 17 removes the material carrier 14 on the material holding area 8, and then under the action of the feeding trolley 15, it is transported to the subsequent processing steps to ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent processing work.
[0031] In the above process: the feeding conveyor 1 is used to receive the food tray and transport the food tray to the distribution area, providing convenient conditions for the subsequent reception and weighing of the food materials. The distribution area and the weighing area 2 are used to cooperate with each other. On the one hand, the distribution area can receive the processed materials and arrange the materials in the food tray in an equidistant manner, so as to complete the convenient distribution of food materials and improve the working process. On the other hand, the weighing area 2 can receive the transported single food tray and move it to a position close to the distribution area to avoid the material from falling during the distribution process. At the same time, its step-by-step movement also ensures the uniformity of the material distribution. In addition, the establishment of the weighing module 24 also makes the materials carried on the food tray relatively consistent, ensuring the working process. The established feeding area 4 can transport the food tray after distribution to the subsequent processing steps to ensure the continuity of production and processing work. The material lead-out area 5 established can receive the material clamped by the material taking manipulator 6 from the feeding area 4, and convey the food trays in an alternating lead-out manner. At the same time, with the cooperation of the clamping mechanism 19 and the material holding area 8, the food trays can be placed layer by layer on the material carrier 14, so that the materials of multiple food trays can be conveniently led out, which greatly improves the work progress. The material carrier 14 can be freely lifted and rotated in the vertical direction, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the food trays received thereon, and then the food trays are received by the feeding trolley 15 and conveyed to the subsequent production and processing procedures, which ensures the continuity of the production and processing process and meets the use requirements. The device has a reasonable design, a simple structure, and is easy to process. It integrates the functions of loading trays, laying materials, weighing, and food tray loading, increases the functional diversification in the production and processing process, and completes the convenient placement of multiple food trays on the material trolley, improves the work progress, reduces labor intensity, and effectively meets the use requirements.
[0032] In order to achieve convenient weighing of the cloth material and ensure the relative consistency of the material on the food plate, the weighing area 2 includes a weighing bracket 21, a feeding drive cylinder 22 is arranged below the weighing bracket 21, a weighing plate 23 is arranged at the output end of the feeding drive cylinder 22, and a weighing module 24 is arranged above the weighing plate 23, which is used to weigh the material received in the food plate above the material plate to ensure the relative consistency of the weight of the materials in multiple food plates, ensure the effective implementation of the subsequent freeze-drying work, and ensure the molding quality. A material carrier plate 25 is arranged above the weighing module 24, and a chain conveying assembly 26 is arranged above the material carrier plate 25. As for the chain conveying assembly 26 established, it is an existing mature and conventional technology. The method is to use the chains on the left and right sides to transport the food tray. Its working principle is the same as that of the feeding conveyor 1. Specifically, the chain conveying assembly 26 set up on the weighing area 2 can receive the food tray transported from the feeding conveyor 1. When the food tray is completely on the chain conveying assembly 26, the feeding drive cylinder 22 is operated, which drives the weighing plate 23 and the material carrier plate 25 and other components to move upward, especially to make the food tray above the chain conveying assembly 26 close to the telescopic fabric machine 3, and then control the telescopic fabric machine 3 to operate, so as to evenly distribute the material on the food tray. At the same time, considering that the position of the telescopic fabric machine 3 is constant, after completing the acceptance of the material in a horizontal direction on the food tray, the chain is controlled. The conveying assembly 26 is running, and drives the food tray to move forward, and makes the area without material face the bottom close to the telescopic material distributor 3, and so on, until the food tray is completely evenly distributed with materials. Of course, during the forward movement of the food tray after completing one distribution, one end of the food tray is placed on the outside of the feeding area 4 until the food tray completely enters the feeding area 4 and then moves. In other words, the longitudinal feeding area 4 is used to transport the food tray in a step-by-step manner, which can not only ensure the smoothness of transportation, but also provide convenient conditions for adjusting the subsequent transportation path of the food tray; further, in order to conveniently adjust the transportation path of the food tray during the transportation process, a lifting mechanism 18 is provided on one side at a right angle to the short side of the feeding area 4. The structure 18 includes a material ejection plate 181. Of course, a material ejection cylinder (not shown in the figure) can also be set up on one side of the material ejection plate 181, and its output end passes through the material ejection plate 181 and is connected to the material ejection plate 183. A material ejection slide bar 182 is arranged in the material ejection plate 181, and a material ejection plate 183 is arranged at the ends of the two material ejection slide bars 182, and corresponds to the geometric center of the long side of the feeding area 4. The specific description is: when the previous food tray is transported from the feeding area 4 to the material ejection mechanism 18, the material ejection cylinder is controlled to operate, and the material ejection plate 183 is driven to move and act on the food tray, especially to transport the food tray from the longitudinal feeding area 4 to the transverse feeding area 4, which provides a prerequisite for the subsequent processing steps and meets the use requirements.
[0033] In order to complete the conveying of the food tray after weighing and spreading to the material outlet area 5, the material taking robot 6 includes a column 61, and a rotating component 62 is arranged above the column 61. Its working principle is the same as that of the hollow rotating platform in the prior art, which can drive the extension arm 63 to rotate in the horizontal direction. An extension arm 63 is arranged above the rotating component 62, and a vertical driving cylinder 64 is arranged at the end of the extension arm 63. A second hollow rotating platform 65 is arranged at the output end of the vertical driving cylinder 64, and a clamping cylinder 66 is arranged below the second hollow rotating platform 65. A clamping cylinder 66 is arranged at the output end of the clamping cylinder 66. The specific description is: the rotating component 62 controls the horizontal position of the extension arm 63 to rotate and adjust, and controls the vertical rotation when taking materials. The driving cylinder 64 runs, driving the second hollow rotating platform 65 and the clamping cylinder 66 to descend, and at the same time controlling the clamping cylinder 66 to run, so that the clamping plate 67 opens and clamps the corners of the food tray, and then the vertical driving cylinder 64 and the rotating assembly 62 run synchronously, firstly to prevent the food tray from being blocked during the rotation process, and secondly to place the food tray on the material outlet area 5 until the material is above the moving plate, and then controlling the vertical driving cylinder 64 to run and place the food tray down, completing the placement of the food tray, and so on, the food tray on the feeding area 4 can be placed on the material outlet area 5, and the left and right material taking and taking manipulators 6 cooperate to sustainably place the food tray on the feeding area 4 on the material outlet area 5 to ensure the working progress.
[0034] In order to receive the material clamped by the material taking manipulator 6 and convey the received food tray to the next process to ensure the pushing and unloading of the food tray, the material unloading area 5 includes a material unloading support frame 51, and an alternating feeding mechanism 52 is arranged on the material unloading support frame 51. The alternating feeding mechanism 52 includes a high-position slide bar group 521 and a low-position slide bar group 522. The high-position slide bar group 521 and the low-position slide bar group 522 are respectively provided with a high-position moving plate 523 and a low-position moving plate 524. The inner side of the material outlet support frame 51 is provided with a limit plate 525 for controlling the low-position movable plate 524 to move and adjust in an interlaced manner under the high-position movable plate 523. The specific description is as follows: wherein, for the established alternating feeding mechanism 52, it is consistent with the working principle of the alternating feeding mechanism 52 disclosed in the invention document published by the State Intellectual Property Office: Freeze-dried sandwich production equipment and production method suitable for infants and young children {patent number: CN202311367575.2} The principle and working method are the same, and the specific working principle is not repeated here. In this embodiment: the alternating feeding mechanism 52 established adopts the high-position movable plate 523 to move upward, and the low-position movable plate 524 to move in an interlaced manner below it, that is to say: when the high-position movable plate 523 is close to the feeding area 4 to receive the material, the low-position movable plate 524 is at the other side of the material outlet support 51, and its height is equivalent to the horizontal plane where the high-position movable plate 523 is located. At this time, the food tray on the low-position movable plate 524 is exported by the clamping mechanism 19, and the high-position movable plate 523 receives the material. Subsequently, the high-position movable plate 523 moves to the rear side, and the low-position movable plate 524 moves downward first, then moves upward, and arrives at the position for receiving the material, and so on. The structure of the material outlet area 5 can not only receive the materials clamped by the material-taking robot 6 respectively, but also export the materials on the food tray to the processing process on the rear side, which greatly improves the functionality of the device and meets the use requirements.
[0035] In order to realize the convenient output of the clamping mechanism 19, especially to ensure the stable delivery of the material clamped on the material outlet area 5 to the material carrier 14, the pushing area 7 is arranged on the material outlet support frame 51 away from the side of the feeding area 4, and the pushing area 7 includes a telescopic arm 71, and the telescopic arm 71 includes a U-shaped frame 72. The U-shaped frame 72 is also provided with a U-shaped groove for the clamping mechanism 19 to stay above it to avoid movement interference. A rodless cylinder 73 is arranged in the U-shaped frame 72, and a first slide bar 74 is arranged on one side of the rodless cylinder 73. A first slide bar 75 is arranged on the first slide bar 74, and one end of the first slide bar 75 is connected to the output end of the rodless cylinder 73 Then, of course, a slider 77 is also set below the first slide bar 75 and between the first slide bar 74, the function of which is to ensure the smoothness of its movement and adjustment process. For the connection between the first slide bar 75 and the moving end of the rodless cylinder 73, one side of the first slide bar 75 is designed in a concave shape, the function of which is to provide convenient conditions for the establishment of the synchronous belt 710. A second slide bar 76 is set on one side of the first slide bar 75, and a slider 77 is set on the second slide bar 76. A second slide bar 78 is set on one side of the slider 77. Pulleys 79 are set at both ends of the first slide bar 75.

Of course, for the driving power, one of the transverse slide bars 192 can be adjusted. The slide bar 192 is replaced with a rodless cylinder 73. When in use: the telescopic arm 71 is in a retracted state. At this time, the clamping mechanism 19 corresponds to the outermost position reached by the high-position movable plate 523 and the low-position movable plate 524. The position of the clamping mechanism 19 is adjusted so that the two clamping plates 194 can be clamped on the front and rear sides of the two ends of the food tray respectively. After achieving stable clamping of it, the telescopic arm 71 is controlled to extend, especially to move the food tray to a position close to the material carrier 14. When the food tray is placed above the bracket 143, the clamping mechanism 19 releases the clamping and clamps the next food tray. This process realizes a convenient loading process for the food tray, ensures the continuity of the production and processing work process, and meets the use requirements.

After the food tray is placed on the bracket 143 on one side, the first hollow rotating platform 12 is controlled to operate so that the bracket 143 on the other side receives the food tray. After the brackets 143 on both sides receive the material, the first lifting and adjusting group 10 operates and controls the material carrier 14 to descend so that the bracket 143 of the next group is at the position to receive the material. This process is repeated until all food trays are placed on the material carrier 14, and then the subsequent feeding trolley 15 transfers the material out. The operation is simple and convenient, and the functionality is strong.
[0038] In order to realize the convenient placement of multiple food trays, complete the loading of multiple materials and improve the working process, the material carrier 14 includes a base plate 141 designed in a concave shape, and plug-in grooves 1411 are opened on both sides of the base plate 141.

The inclination angle range is between 0° and 10°, which provides convenient conditions for placing the food tray in the material carrier 14 and reduces the possibility of shaking. The establishment of the multi-layer bracket 143 can control the first lifting adjustment group 10 to place the food tray from the bottom bracket 143 in sequence, which not only improves the work progress, but also makes the loading work process more reasonable to meet the use requirements.
[0039] In order to facilitate the taking and placing of the material carrier 14 and ensure that the material can be smoothly transported to the subsequent production and processing steps, longitudinal limit slides 161 are arranged on both sides above the feeding support 16, and the fork mechanism 17 includes a longitudinal adjustment component, and the longitudinal adjustment component includes an adjustment plate 171 connected to the longitudinal limit slide 161, and a second screw adjustment component 172 is arranged below the adjustment plate 171, and the second screw adjustment component 172 includes a second motor 1721, and a screw nut is arranged at the inner rear of the feeding support 16. 1722, for the screw nut 1722, it is fixedly installed on the inner side of the feeding support 16, and the output end of the second motor 1721 is provided with a second ball screw 1723, which runs through the screw nut 1722. That is to say, when it is necessary to control the longitudinal adjustment component to move and adjust, the second motor 1721 is controlled to run, which drives the second ball screw to run. Affected by the establishment of the screw nut 1722, the adjustment plate 171 and the second motor 1721 assembly will be relative to the longitudinal limit slide bar 161 is moved and adjusted in the longitudinal direction to adjust the position of the fork material assembly 20 to ensure the convenience of taking and placing the material carrier 14.

Further, the connecting plate 175 stabilizes the establishment of the longitudinal slide bar 174 and the second ball screw 1723 to reduce the possibility of their deviation. When the adjustment plate 171 moves and adjusts in the longitudinal direction relative to the feeding support frame 16, the longitudinal slide bar 174 can play an auxiliary limiting role in its moving direction. Of course, a mounting seat 173 is also set up above the corner of the feeding support frame 16. The purpose is to ensure the stability of the longitudinal slide bar 174 and improve the functionality of the device. In this way, the longitudinal adjustment component can be used to move and adjust the fork assembly 20 in the longitudinal direction, thereby providing convenient conditions for completing the picking and placing of the material carrier 14.
