Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of honey shipping, in particular to a honey barrel pouring device. Background Art

[0002] Honey is made by bees. It is a supersaturated solution of sugar that will crystallize at low temperatures. The part that will crystallize is glucose, and the part that does not crystallize is mainly fructose. It tastes sweet and contains not only glucose and fructose, but also a variety of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and has good health effects.

[0003] In the existing honey production process, honey is generally contained in honey barrels in batches and finally poured into the honey pool.

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0053] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments:

[0054] Embodiment 1

[0055] refer to Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 7As shown, this embodiment provides a honey bucket pouring device, which includes a mounting base 2, a moving plate 3, a mounting side plate 4, a rotating disk 5, a driving motor 6, a driving cylinder 7 and a clamping member 8, and each component is arranged as follows:

[0056] The mounting base 2 is used to mount the horizontal driving mechanism 1, and the horizontal driving mechanism 1 is composed of an electric slide 101 and a guide assembly 102, and a movable plate 3 installed in the horizontal driving mechanism 1. The electric slide 101 includes: a first mounting groove opened on the mounting base 2, a lead screw rotatably installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, a motor installed on the mounting base 2 and used to drive the lead screw, and a nut matched with the lead screw, wherein the nut is fixedly connected to the movable plate 3, and the guide assembly 102 includes: a second mounting groove opened on the mounting base 2 and located on both sides of the first mounting groove, a guide rod fixedly connected to the second mounting groove, and a guide block slidably installed on the guide rod and fixedly connected to the movable plate 3. The guide assembly 102 is used to limit the rotation of the nut, which helps to ensure the stability of the nut moving on the lead screw.

[0057] A placement plate 301 for placing a honey barrel is fixedly connected to the movable plate 3 , and a movable opening 3011 is opened on the placement plate 301 .

[0058] Two mounting side plates 4 are symmetrically mounted on the movable plate 3, one side of the mounting side plates 4 is a fan-shaped structure with a central angle greater than 100°, an arc-shaped guide groove 401 is provided on the mounting side plates 4, a guide bead 402 is slidably mounted in the arc-shaped guide groove 401, and it should be noted that the arc-shaped guide groove 401 is opened with the output shaft of the driving motor 6 as the center, a telescopic rod 403 connected to the clamping member 8 is fixedly connected to the guide bead 402, and the telescopic rod 403 includes: a hollow cylindrical sleeve and a cylindrical piston of the sliding sleeve, and a movable space is provided for the cylindrical piston through the inner cavity of the hollow cylindrical sleeve , so that the hollow cylindrical sleeve and the cylindrical piston have elasticity, so that the clamping member 8 will not be interfered by the movement of the telescopic rod 403 when it is affected by the driving cylinder 7 to move, and the guide bead 402 is guided and limited by the arc guide groove 401, so that the guide bead 402 can only move along the trajectory opened by the arc guide groove 401, so that the telescopic rod 403 fixedly connected to the guide bead 402 can only move along a fixed motion trajectory under the guidance of the arc guide groove 401, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping member 8 fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 403 during the flipping operation.

[0059] A rotating disk 5 is rotatably installed on any mounting side plate 4, and a driving motor 6 is installed on the mounting side plate 4, and the driving motor 6 is used to drive one of the rotating disks 5 to rotate. A driving cylinder 7 is installed on any rotating disk 5, and the driving cylinder 7 drives the clamping member 8 to fix and clamp the honey barrel, and the driving motor 6 is used to drive the honey barrel to flip. When the honey barrel is in a tilted state, the honey flows along the barrel wall of the honey barrel close to the moving plate 3, which helps to reduce the contact between the honey and the barrel wall at other positions, and helps to avoid honey dripping.

[0060] The clamping member 8 installed on the output end of any driving cylinder 7 includes a clamping piece 801 and a guide slide 802. The components are arranged as follows:

[0061] The clamping piece 801 is used to clamp the honey barrel. The clamping piece 801 is a semicircular ring column structure with upper and lower openings, so that the clamping piece 801 can fully resist and limit the honey barrel, which helps to ensure the stability of the clamping piece 801 when clamping the honey barrel. At least one guide slide 802 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping member 8. The guide slide 802 is used to guide the honey. The guide slide 802 is a quarter-pointed mouth structure. The maximum inner diameter of the pointed mouth structure composed of four guide slides 802 is consistent with the diameter of the honey barrel. The guide slide 802 is used to guide the flow direction of the honey, so that the pouring of the honey is smoother, and the honey will not hang at the barrel mouth, which helps to reduce the residual honey in the honey barrel after pouring.

[0062] When the glucose in honey exceeds its solubility and becomes a supersaturated solution, some glucose molecules begin to move and arrange regularly in the honey to form a tiny crystal nucleus, which becomes the center of a crystal. More glucose molecules are regularly arranged on its sides, gradually forming larger crystals, which are separated from the honey. The crystallization of honey will affect the fluidity of the honey. Therefore, in this embodiment, a heating wire 9 is installed on the inner side of any clamping member 8, and an arc-shaped installation groove for accommodating and installing the heating wire 9 is provided on the clamping piece 801, and the heating wire 9 is electrically connected to the driving cylinder 7. It should be noted that the battery equipped with the heating wire 9 is arranged on the outer wall of the clamping piece 801. The temperature generated by the heating wire 9 is 60°C, thereby preventing the honey from being affected by the heating wire 9 and affecting its nutritional value due to excessive temperature. The heating wire 9 will start with the extension movement of the output end of the driving cylinder 7, and the heating wire 9 will stop when the output end of the driving cylinder 7 contracts. The following are a variety of control opening and closing methods of the heating wire 9 and the driving cylinder 7:

[0063] Photoelectric sensing: A photoelectric sensor assembly is installed at the output end of the driving cylinder 7 and the end cover of the driving cylinder 7. When the position where the photoelectric sensor assembly is installed at the output end of the driving cylinder 7 moves to a level corresponding to the position where the photoelectric sensor assembly is installed at the end cover of the driving cylinder 7, the photoelectric sensor assembly installed at the output end of the driving cylinder 7 will receive the light path emitted by the photoelectric sensor assembly installed at the end cover of the driving cylinder 7, causing the detection signal of the photoelectric sensor to change. The opening and closing of the heating wire 9 is controlled by monitoring the change in the output signal of the photoelectric sensor.

[0064] Force sensor: A force sensor is installed on the inner side of the clamping piece 801. When the clamping piece 801 fixes the honey barrel, the force sensor detects the force generated by the contact between the clamping piece 801 and the honey barrel. The opening and closing of the heating wire 9 is controlled by monitoring the changes in the output signal of the force sensor.

[0065] Through the above multiple optional control opening and closing methods of the heating wire 9 and the driving cylinder 7, it can be effectively ensured that the heating wire 9 is in a working state only when the honey barrel is in a clamped state.

[0066] To use the honey bucket pouring device, follow these steps:

[0067] Place the honey barrel on the placement plate 301;

[0068] The driving cylinder 7 is started, and the driving cylinder 7 drives the clamping piece 801 to move against the honey barrel, thereby fixing the honey barrel. At this time, the heating wire 9 is started, and the heating wire 9 is used to heat the honey;

[0069] The electric slide 101 is started, and the electric slide 101 drives the movable plate 3 to move horizontally on the guide assembly 102, so that the position of the honey barrel moves to a preset dumping position;

[0070] Start the motor 6, which drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate 100° with the output end of the motor 6 as the center. The rotating disk 5 drives the driving cylinder 7 to rotate 100° with the output end of the motor 6 as the center. The driving cylinder 7 drives the clamping member 8 to rotate 100° with the output end of the motor 6 as the center. The clamping member 8 drives the telescopic rod 403 to rotate 100° with the output end of the motor 6 as the center. The telescopic rod 403 drives the guide bead 402 to rotate 100° in the arc guide groove 401 with the output end of the motor 6 as the center. The clamping member 8 drives the mouth of the honey barrel to tilt slightly downward, and the honey flows from the barrel wall of the honey barrel close to the movable plate 3 to the guide slide 802, and flows to the honey pool under the guidance of the guide slide 802.

[0071] Embodiment 2

[0072] refer to Figures 4 to 6As shown, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment further refines the honey barrel tipping device. In order to ensure the smoothness of the honey barrel flipping process, the clamping member 8 also includes a wedge block 803, a movable rod 804, a return spring 805, a driving rod 806 and a guide support plate 807. The specific implementation is as follows:

[0073] The wedge block 803 is movably placed on the movable plate 3. The wedge block 803 is horizontally arranged corresponding to the movable opening 3011. The longitudinal section of the wedge block 803 is a right-angled trapezoidal structure. The width of the wedge block 803 is 0.8 times the width of the movable opening 3011, so that the movable opening 3011 can movably store the wedge block 803.

[0074] A movable rod 804 is slidably sleeved on the mounting side plate 4, and the movable rod 804 is fixedly connected to a side of the wedge block 803 away from the movable opening 3011. A return spring 805 is fixedly connected between the mounting side plate 4 and the wedge block 803. The return spring 805 is movably sleeved on the movable rod 804. Through the elastic force of the return spring 805, the wedge block 803 moves toward the initial state until it is reset when not affected by external forces. The movable rod 804 is used to guide and limit the return spring 805, so that the movement trajectory of the return spring 805 is relatively fixed, which helps to extend the service life of the return spring 805.

[0075] The driving rod 806 is installed at the lower end of the clamping piece 801, and the lower end of the driving rod 806 is movably abutted against the side of the wedge block 803 away from the movable opening 3011. The thickness of the driving rod 806 is twice the thickness of the clamping piece 801. Through the movable abutment between the driving rod 806 and the wedge block 803, after the clamping piece 801 moves, the driving rod 806 will push the wedge block 803 to move synchronously.

[0076] The guide support plate 807 is installed on the side of the driving rod 806 close to the wedge block 803, and the bottom end of the guide support plate 807 is movably opposed to the top end of the wedge block 803. The longitudinal section of the guide support plate 807 is a right-angled triangle structure, and the inclination of the hypotenuse of the guide support plate 807 is consistent with the inclination of the hypotenuse of the wedge block 803. Since the wedge block 803 and the inner end of the guide support plate 807 are both inclined end faces, when the wedge block 803 and the guide support plate 807 move toward the honey barrel, the inclined end faces of the wedge block 803 and the guide support plate 807 will squeeze and support the honey barrel to move upward, and guide and support the honey barrel through the clamping piece 801 to prevent the honey barrel from tipping over. Finally, the top end of the driving rod 806 is used to support and limit the bottom of the honey barrel. At this time, the honey barrel is away from the placement plate 301, thereby preventing the placement plate 301 from causing motion interference with the flipping movement of the honey barrel.

[0077] In this embodiment, the driving rod 806 is arranged so that the clamping piece 801 drives the guide support plate 807 and the wedge block 803 to move horizontally during the movement, and the inclined end surfaces of the guide support plate 807 and the wedge block 803 force the honey barrel to move away from the placement plate 301 before being clamped, and the reset spring 805 is used as a reset component to ensure that the wedge block 803 can be used multiple times.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
