They are merely used to distinguish protection components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. Additionally, the technical solutions and technical features between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4, A row - type quantitative packaging and processing device, including a frame. There is a canning station 11 arranged on the frame. An upper - feeding tank 10 is arranged on the canning station 11. The upper - feeding tank 10 is connected to a material homogenizing assembly, and the material homogenizing assembly is used to make the canned materials uniform.

[0034] The upper - feeding tank 10 can provide a pressure that keeps the pressure of the materials in the upper - feeding tank 10 constant;

[0035] The material homogenizing assembly includes a main pipeline 18. The main pipeline 18 is communicated with the material outlet and the material inlet of the upper - feeding tank 10, and a separator 19 is arranged in the main pipeline 18;

[0036] The upper - feeding tank 10 can make the materials flow uniformly in the main pipeline 18.

[0037] The separator 19 is in a funnel shape. The upper - end opening of the separator 19 is larger than the main hole 21 at the lower end of the separator 19, and several branch holes 22 are arranged on the side wall of the separator 19;

[0038] The upper - end opening of the separator 19 is communicated with the material outlet of the upper - feeding tank 10 through the main pipeline 18, and the main hole 21 at the lower end of the separator 19 is communicated with the material inlet of the upper - feeding tank 10 through the main pipeline 18;

[0039] The branch holes 22 are connected to the canning ports of the canning station 11 through branch pipelines 20.

[0040] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above - mentioned scheme:

[0041] In this application, a constant - pressure upper - feeding tank 10 and a material homogenizing assembly are installed at the canning station 11. The material homogenizing assembly makes the materials in the upper - feeding tank 10 keep a uniform state, effectively avoiding material deposition and blocking of the canning pipelines at the canning station 11, and making the canned quantity more accurate;

[0042] The material homogenizing assembly makes the materials flow reciprocally between the upper - feeding tank 10 and the main pipeline 18 through the constant - pressure action of the upper - feeding tank 10, which can effectively avoid material deposition. When the materials flow through the separator 19, most of the materials flow back into the upper - feeding tank 10 along the main hole 21 through the main pipeline 18, while part of the materials flow through the branch holes 22 through the branch pipelines 20 for canning operations;

[0043] After part of the materials are canned, the materials flowing back into the upper - feeding tank 10 decrease. The funnel - shaped separator 19 has an inlet larger than the outlet, so that the material pressure and flow rate before and after the separator 19 remain unchanged, ensuring the uniformity of the materials.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5, on the basis of Embodiment 1, a PP cup adding station 12 is provided in front of the canning station 11. The PP cup adding station 12 is arranged on the frame. The PP cup adding station 12 includes an annular track 24. A number of groups of circulating bins 23 are arranged on the annular track 24. The circulating bins 23 are fixedly connected to a cross frame. The cross frame can move along a limiting track 25. The limiting track 25 can keep the posture of the cross frame constant. The circulating bins 23 can move simultaneously on the annular track 24. Only one group of circulating bins 23 is used to add PP cups at the same time.

[0046] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above solution:

[0047] When the magazine moves out of the PP cup holder from bottom to top, when there is no PP cup in the magazine, it is necessary to stop the machine for feeding, which affects the canning efficiency. When the magazine moves out of the PP cup holder from top to bottom, when there is no PP cup in the magazine, although there is no need to stop the machine for feeding, it is necessary to replenish the PP cup at a high position, which also affects the canning efficiency. In this application, through the annular track, four circulating bins are set to load cups, so that the PP cup holder can be added without stopping the machine, greatly improving the canning efficiency.

[0048] Embodiment 3

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , on the basis of Embodiments 1-2, a detection station 9 is provided behind the canning station 11. The detection station 9 is used to detect the canning status of the material; the canning station 11 can detect the canned PP cups through a vision detection scheme to judge whether the material in the canned PP cups is canned in place. When the canning is not in place, it can be controlled that the film adding station 8 does not perform the film adding operation on it, so as to prevent the PP cups with insufficient canning from flowing into the market.

[0050] A film adding station 8 is provided behind the detection station 9. The film adding station 8 is used to cover a multi-layer aluminum-plastic composite film on the PP cup.

[0051] A film sealing station 7 is provided behind the film adding station 8. The film sealing station 7 is used to thermally seal and connect the multi-layer aluminum-plastic composite film to the PP cup at high temperature.

[0052] Before the multi-layer aluminum-plastic composite film is covered on the PP cup for heat sealing, a nitrogen blowing link is provided. By introducing nitrogen into the canned PP cup, the active substances in the PP cup are prevented from being oxidized.

[0053] Embodiment 4

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2, on the basis of Embodiments 1 - 3, a cooling station 5 is provided after the film sealing station 7. The cooling station 5 is used to cool the heat - sealed PP cups. The PP cup cooling station 5 includes a base 16 and a vortex tube. The base 16 is used to hold the PP cup 17, and the base 16 can move. An exhaust hole 14 is provided on one side of the base 16. The air inlet of the vortex tube is connected to the compressed air inlet 13. The hot air outlet 15 of the vortex tube leads to the external environment, and the cold air outlet of the vortex tube is connected to a cooling chamber (not shown) for cooling the heat - sealed PP cups.

[0055] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above - mentioned solution:

[0056] The compressed normal - temperature gas enters the nozzle of the vortex tube, expands and accelerates to the speed of sound in the nozzle, and then injects into the vortex chamber of the vortex tube from the tangential direction to form a free vortex. The rotational angular velocity of the free vortex is larger closer to the center. Due to different angular velocities, friction is generated between the layers of the free vortex. The angular velocity of the air flow in the central part is the largest. As a result of the friction, energy is transferred to the outer - layer air flow with a lower angular velocity. The air flow in the central layer loses energy, has a low kinetic energy, a reduced speed, and a decreased temperature. It is led out from one end through the orifice plate in the center of the vortex tube and connected to the cooling chamber. The cooling chamber obtains the cold air flow required for refrigeration. The outer - layer air flow gains momentum and increases in kinetic energy. At the same time, it also frictions with the inner wall of the vortex tube, converting part of the kinetic energy into heat energy, and is led out from the other end of the vortex tube to the external environment. The exhaust hole 14 is used to discharge the waste gas in the cooling chamber.

[0057] During film sealing, the high temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius will cause the temperature of the material and the base to rise. In order to ensure the activity of the temperature - sensitive active substances, rapid cooling is required. However, PP cup packaging machines usually do not have a cooling station. Therefore, a cooling function needs to be added. A vortex tube is installed at this station. After introducing compressed air, low - temperature gas (such as - 20 to 10 degrees Celsius) is generated to blow the aluminum - plastic film and the base for rapid cooling. At the same time, the gas inlet and outlet are reasonably arranged to prevent the interference of hot and cold air flows on the film - feeding station and the heat - sealing station.

[0058] Embodiment 5

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , on the basis of Embodiments 1 - 4, a coding station 3, a dust - suction station 2, and a discharging station 1 are successively arranged after the cooling station 5;

[0060] The coding station 3 is used to code the PP cups, and each PP cup is individually coded to ensure traceability in the later stage;

[0061] The dust - suction station 2 is used to ensure the cleanliness of the PP cups;

[0062] The discharging station 1 is used to discharge the encapsulated PP cups.

[0063] Embodiment 6

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , on the basis of Embodiments 1-5, an electrical cabinet 4 and a human-machine interface 6 are arranged on the frame, and the electrical cabinet 4 and the human-machine interface 6 are electrically connected to the discharging station 1, the dust suction station 2, the coding station 3, the cooling station 5, the film sealing station 7, the film adding station 8, the detection station 9, the canning station 11, and the PP cup adding station 12.
