Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of proportioning equipment, in particular to automatic proportioning equipment and a proportioning method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Existing daily chemical fragrances, food flavors, tobacco flavors, and essential oils typically require dozens or even dozens of raw materials blended in specific proportions. These raw materials include fine chemical raw materials and liquid raw materials purified from natural plants. They can be categorized into alcohols, lipids, ethers, ketones, and aldehydes. Alcohols include ethanol, linalool, and florentol; lipids include ethyl acetate, pinyl acetate, and cyclopentadecenolide; ethers include p-cresol methyl ether, rose oxide, and diphenyl ether; ketones include valerone, ethylionone, and ambergris; aldehydes include coconut aldehyde, peach flower aldehyde, and green aldehyde; and oils include sweet orange oil, Argentinian lemon oil, and lavender oil.

[0003] The traditional manual batching method requires the operator to manually weigh the weight of various raw materials, and then pour all the weighed raw materials into the material bucket and mix them to obtain the required reagents.

[0004] However, traditional manual batching methods present the following challenges: 1. Manual batching is often time-consuming and cumbersome, especially when dealing with a wide variety of ingredients. Each ingredient must be weighed and added individually, significantly reducing batching efficiency. 2. When manually batching a large number of ingredients, operators may miss one or two, leading to serious product quality issues. Summary of the Invention

The guide block array is composed of a plurality of sliders arranged in a circular array. Each slider is slidably connected to a guide rail. The guide rail is arranged along the radial direction of the guide block assembly. A liquid injection component is provided at one end of the guide rail. A liquid outlet nozzle is provided on the liquid injection component. The liquid outlet nozzle is connected to one end of the feed pipe.

The rotary frame is located inside the slider assembly. A linear module is provided on the rotary frame. The linear module is provided with a push-pull arm. The push-pull arm is provided with a roller. The liquid injection component is provided with a push-pull groove. The push-pull arm is driven to rotate by the rotary drive component.

[0014] When the push-pull arm rotates, the push-pull grooves on the injection component together form an annular channel, and the roller moves in the annular channel; the push-pull arm is driven to move radially along the guide block assembly through the linear module; when the push-pull arm moves, it drives one of the injection components to move between the injection position and the initial position, and the injection position is located at the center of the guide block assembly.

[0018] Preferably, the blocking and releasing device includes a driving device and a blocking rod connected to the driving device, and the blocking rod is driven to rotate by the driving device.

[0019] An automatic batching method comprises the following specific steps:

[0020] Step 1: The batching container on the feeding conveyor line is transferred to the first trolley at the receiving end. The code scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container. The control system reads the batching information, determines the total batching times and the batching device that the batching container needs to pass through in each batching. This batching device is the target batching device.

[0021] Step 2: Determine the number of times the current batching corresponds to, and determine whether the current batching is the last batching;

[0022] The method for judging whether the current batching is the last batching is as follows: if the number of times the current batching corresponds to is less than the total number of times the batching is performed, then the current batching is not the last batching; if the number of times the current batching corresponds to is equal to the total number of times the batching is performed, then the current batching is the last batching;

[0023] Step 3: The first trolley transports the batching container to the target batching device corresponding to the current batching ingredient. The batching container is transferred from the first trolley to the batching conveyor line corresponding to the target batching device. The batching container moves to the batching position on the batching conveyor line and stops. At this time, the contact part on the weighing device moves upward to support the bottom of the batching container and lift the batching container upward. The required types of raw materials are injected into the batching container in sequence through the target batching device, and the weight of the raw materials injected each time is detected by the weighing sensor. After the raw material injection is completed, the batching container continues to move forward, and the second trolley moves to the position corresponding to the batching container, and the batching container is transferred to the second trolley. The second trolley moves to the output end on the output side track.

[0024] Step 4: If the current batch is the last batch, the second trolley will transfer the batching container to the unloading conveyor line; if the current batch is not the last batch, the second trolley will transfer the batching container to the transition conveyor line, and the batching container will be transferred to the first trolley at the receiving position through the transition conveyor line. The scanning device scans the barcode on the batching container and repeats steps 2 to 4.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0026] 1. The present invention can automatically complete the batching of reagents, and the entire process does not require manual participation, saving time and effort, and greatly improving the batching efficiency.

[0027] 2. The present invention does not require manual batching, thus avoiding omission of raw materials during the manual batching process.

[0028] 3. In the present invention, one batching device is equipped with 80-100 liquid injection devices, that is, one batching device can mix 80-100 kinds of raw materials. The whole set of equipment contains a total of four batching devices. The whole set of equipment can mix up to 320-400 kinds of raw materials, thereby effectively meeting the preparation needs of some complex reagents.

[0029] 4. The present invention adopts a disc-shaped dispensing device, and the upper liquid injection parts of the dispensing device are arranged in a circular array, which can accommodate a large number of liquid injection parts at the same time, and the overall structure is relatively compact; when the liquid injection part is in the initial position, the armature at one end of the liquid injection part is sucked by a magnet, and the liquid injection part can be accurately positioned in the initial position by the suction force of the magnet; if there is no suction force of the magnet, during the use of the equipment, one or several liquid injection parts may move under the action of external force, causing some liquid injection parts to be misplaced, and the misplacement of the liquid injection parts will cause the push-pull grooves on the liquid injection parts to be unable to form a continuous annular channel, which will hinder the movement of the roller in the annular channel; and the above problem is effectively solved by arranging magnets in the present invention.

[0030] 5. The present invention adopts a rotary push-pull device to radially push and pull the liquid injection component so that the liquid injection component reaches the top of the batching container for liquid injection operation. In this way, during the batching process, the batching container does not need to be moved. Liquid injection is achieved by fixing the batching container and moving the liquid injection component, which can reduce the positioning error caused by moving the batching container, thereby improving the accuracy of the liquid injection position; and this method avoids liquid splashing or instability caused by moving the batching container, which is especially important when processing high-precision, easy to splash or materials with high stability requirements; this method of the present invention does not require a complex conveying system to accurately control the position of the batching container, reduces equipment complexity and maintenance costs, and also reduces the failure rate.

[0031] 6. The present invention realizes the automation of the batching process through automated equipment such as the first trolley, the second trolley, the batching conveyor line, etc., reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency. A code scanning device is used to scan the identification code on the batching container to ensure the accurate reading of the batching information each time. At the same time, the weighing sensor is used to detect the weight of the raw materials injected each time to ensure the accuracy of the batching. The systematic operation process and control logic (for example, determining whether it is the last batching) help to reduce human errors and ensure that each step is executed according to the preset parameters.

[0032] 7. The batching method of the present invention allows for adjustments to the batching frequency and type based on different recipe requirements, adapting to changing production needs. Furthermore, production capacity can be easily expanded by adjusting the batching equipment or adding new batching conveyor lines. Furthermore, because each batching container is tracked via an identification code, data from the entire batching process can be recorded, facilitating subsequent quality tracking and production management.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an automatic batching equipment includes a control system, a loading conveyor line 1, a unloading conveyor line 2, an entry side track 3, an exit side track 4, and a transition conveyor line 7. A plurality of batching devices 9 and batching conveyor lines are provided between the entry side track 3 and the exit side track 4. The batching conveyor lines correspond to the batching devices 9 one by one.

[0046] A first trolley 5 is provided on the entry-side track 3, and a second trolley 6 is provided on the exit-side track 4. One end of the entry-side track is the receiving end, and the other end of the exit-side track 4 is the transfer end. One end of the loading conveyor line 1 and one end of the transition conveyor line 7 correspond to the receiving end of the entry-side track 3, and one end of the unloading conveyor line 2 and the other end of the transition conveyor line 7 correspond to the transfer end of the exit-side track 4.

[0047] The first trolley 5 is used to receive the batching container 11 transferred from the loading conveyor line 1 or the transition conveyor line 7 and transfer the batching container 11 to the batching conveyor line; the second trolley 6 is used to receive the batching container 11 transferred from the batching conveyor line and transfer the batching container 11 to the unloading conveyor line 2 or the transition conveyor line 7; the batching device 9 is used to inject raw materials into the batching container 11 on the batching conveyor line.

[0048] In the present invention, the loading conveyor line 1, the unloading conveyor line 2, the batching conveyor line and the transition conveyor line 7 are all roller-type conveyor lines.

[0049] The outside of the ingredient container 11 is provided with an identification code for storing ingredient information, and a code scanning device is provided on one side of the receiving end of the side track 3. The ingredient information includes the types of all ingredients to be added to the ingredient container 11. In addition, the ingredient information also includes the required weight of each ingredient. The identification code used in the present invention is a QR code or a barcode.

[0050] The batching line is provided with a batching station; when the batching device 9 injects raw materials into the batching container 11 on the batching line, the batching container 11 stops at the batching station; below the batching station, a weighing device 10 is provided for weighing the batching container 11. Specifically, the weighing device 10 includes a fixed frame 8-1, on which a lifting device 8-2 is provided, and the upper end of the lifting device 8-2 is provided with a weighing sensor 8-3, and the weighing sensor 8-3 is provided with a contact member 8-4 for contacting the bottom of the batching container 11.

[0051] The lifting device 8-2 can be powered by a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder, and the lifting drive 14-1 is used to drive the weighing sensor 8-3 and contact member 8-4 up and down. The weighing sensor 8-3 is electrically connected to the control system. When the weighing device 10 is not in operation, the upper end of the contact member 8-4 is lower than the upper end surface of the batching conveyor line. At this time, when the batching container 11 is at the batching position and is about to be batched, the lifting device 8-2 drives the contact member 8-4 upward to support the bottom of the batching container 11 and lift the batching container 11 upward a certain distance, so that the bottom of the batching container 11 is separated from the batching conveyor line. The batching container 11 is weighed by the weighing sensor 8-3; by detecting the weight difference of the batching container 11 before and after each injection, the current weight of the raw material injected can be known.

[0052] In the present invention, the batching conveyor line adopts a roller conveyor line, and the contact component 8-4 includes a bottom plate 8-4a and top plates 8-4b arranged on both sides above the bottom plate 8-4a. There is a certain gap between adjacent rollers on the roller conveyor line, and the top plate 8-4b on the contact component 8-4 can pass through the gap.

[0053] Specifically, the batching device 9 includes a frame 9-1, a rotary push-pull device, and a feed pipe. A guide block assembly is provided on the frame 9-1. The guide block 9-12 array is composed of a number of sliders arranged in a circular array. Each slider is slidably connected to a guide rail 9-6. The guide rail 9-6 is arranged along the radial direction of the guide block assembly. A liquid injection component 9-7 is provided at one end of the guide rail 9-6. A liquid outlet nozzle is provided on the liquid injection component 9-7. The liquid outlet nozzle is connected to one end of the feed pipe. The other end of the feed pipe is connected to the raw material tank 12. A control valve is provided on the feed pipe; the rotary push-pull device includes a rotary drive component 9-2 and a rotary frame 9-3. The rotary drive component 9-2 is connected to the rotary frame 9-3. The rotary frame 9-3 is located on the slider On the inner side of the assembly, a linear module 9-4 is provided on the rotating frame 9-3, a push-pull arm 9-5 is provided on the linear module 9-4, and a roller 9-8 is provided on the push-pull arm 9-5; a push-pull groove 9-7a is provided on the injection component 9-7; the push-pull arm 9-5 is driven to rotate by the rotating drive component 9-2; when the push-pull arm 9-5 rotates, the push-pull groove 9-7a on the injection component 9-7 together form an annular channel, and the roller 9-8 moves in the annular channel; the push-pull arm 9-5 is driven to move radially along the guide block assembly by the linear module 9-4; when the push-pull arm 9-5 moves, it drives one of the injection components 9-7 to move between the injection position and the initial position, and the injection position is located at the center position of the guide block assembly.

[0054] In this embodiment, the rotation drive component 9-2 is a reduction motor. The guide blocks 9-12 are arranged in a circular array, so that the guide block assembly is annular in shape.

[0055] When liquid is being poured into the batching container 11, the batching container 11 moves to the batching position on the batching conveying line, and the batching container 11 is just below the filling position at this time; the push-pull arm 9-5 first rotates to the filling component 9-7 of the raw material to be added, and then the filling component 9-7 is pulled to the filling position by radial movement of the push-pull arm 9-5, and then the control valve on the delivery pipe connected to the filling component 9-7 is opened, and the raw material tank 12 is injected into the batching container 11 through the delivery pipe and the liquid outlet nozzle; after the raw material injection is completed, the control valve is closed, and the push-pull arm 9-5 pushes the filling component 9-7 to move to the initial position; then the push-pull arm 9-5 rotates to the filling component 9-7 corresponding to the next raw material, and the next raw material is injected in the same way.

[0056] For example, when a certain batching device 9 needs to inject a total of three raw materials into the batching container 11, the roller 9-8 on the push-pull arm 9-5 first rotates to the push-pull groove 9-7a on the injection component 9-7 corresponding to the first raw material, and then the linear module 9-4 drives the push-pull arm 9-5 to move radially, and the injection component 9-7 is pulled to the injection position by the push-pull arm 9-5, and then the control valve on the feed pipe connected to the injection component 9-7 is opened, and the raw material tank 12 is injected into the batching container 11 through the feed pipe and the liquid outlet nozzle as the first raw material; when the injection of the first raw material is completed, the control valve is closed, and the push-pull arm 9-5 pushes the injection component 9-7 to move to the initial position; then the second and third raw materials are injected in the same way.

[0057] In this embodiment, one batching device 9 is provided with 80-100 liquid injection devices, that is, one batching device 9 can prepare 80-100 kinds of raw materials. The whole set of equipment includes a total of four batching devices 9. The whole set of equipment can prepare up to 320-400 kinds of raw materials, thereby effectively meeting the preparation needs of some complex reagents.

[0058] The present invention further comprises a raw material tank storage rack 13 , on which all the raw material tanks 12 are uniformly stored.

[0059] Furthermore, a magnet bracket 9-9 corresponding to the liquid injection component 9-7 is provided on the frame 9-1, a magnet 9-10 is provided on the magnet bracket 9-9, and an armature 9-11 is provided at one end of the liquid injection component 9-7; when the liquid injection component 9-7 is in the initial position, the magnet 9-10 is attracted to the armature 9-11 on the liquid injection component 9-7. When the liquid injection component 9-7 is in the initial position, the armature 9-11 at one end of the liquid injection component 9-7 is attracted by the magnet 9-10, and the suction force of the magnet 9-10 can accurately position the liquid injection component 9-7 in the initial position; if there is no suction force of the magnet 9-10, during the use of the device, one or more of the liquid injection components 9-7 may move under the action of external force, causing some of the liquid injection components 9-7 to be misplaced. The misplacement of the liquid injection components 9-7 will cause the push-pull grooves 9-7a on the liquid injection components 9-7 to not form a continuous annular channel, which will hinder the movement of the roller 9-8 in the annular channel. The present invention effectively solves the above problem by providing the magnet 9-10.

[0060] The first trolley 5 includes a first movable chassis 5-1 that can move along the entrance-side track 3. The first movable chassis 5-1 is equipped with a first rotating device 5-2, the first rotating device 5-2 is equipped with a first carrier 5-3, and the first carrier 5-3 is equipped with a first roller conveying mechanism 5-4. The second trolley 6 includes a second movable chassis that can move along the entrance-side track 3. The second movable chassis is equipped with a second rotating device, the second rotating device is equipped with a second carrier, and the second carrier is equipped with a second roller conveying mechanism.

[0061] The first rotating device 5-2 is used to drive the first carrier 5-3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the orientation of the first carrier 5-3. The first roller conveying mechanism 5-4 provided on the first carrier 5-3 is driven by a motor to rotate the rollers, which is used to drive the batching container 11 to enter and exit the first carrier 5-3. For example, when the batching container 11 on the feeding conveyor line 1 needs to be moved to the first carrier 5-3, the first rotating device 5-2 is first used to drive the first carrier 5-3 to rotate so that it is oriented and aligned with the feeding conveyor line 1. The feeding conveyor line 1 and the first roller conveying mechanism 5-4 on the first carrier 5-3 are then used to transfer the batching container 11 to the first carrier 5-3.

[0062] Similarly, the second rotating device is used to rotate the second carrier, thereby adjusting the orientation of the second carrier. A second roller conveyor mechanism, mounted on the second carrier, rotates its rollers driven by a motor, thereby moving the batching container 11 in and out of the second carrier. For example, when a batching container 11 on the second carrier needs to be moved to the unloading conveyor line 2, the second rotating device first rotates the second carrier, aligning it with and aligning it with the unloading conveyor line 2. The unloading conveyor line 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism on the second carrier then transfer the batching container 11 to the unloading conveyor line 2.

[0063] Among them, the blocking and releasing device 14 is installed at the end of the batching conveyor line close to the output side track 4, the end of the transition conveyor line 7 close to the receiving end, and the batching position of the batching conveyor line. The blocking and releasing device 14 includes a driving device 14-1 and a blocking rod 14-2 connected to the driving device 14-1. The blocking rod 14-2 is driven to rotate by the driving device 14-1.

[0064] The blocking rod 14-2 is driven to rotate by the driving device 14-1, and the blocking state and the release state are switched by the rotation of the blocking rod 14-2. For example, when the batching container 11 is located at the batching position and is about to be batched, the blocking and release device 14 located at the batching position is in the blocking state, and the blocking rod 14-2 is blocked in front of the batching container 11, so that the batching container 11 can be accurately positioned at the batching position; after the batching is completed, the blocking rod 14-2 is rotated upward and the blocking and release device 14 is in the release state, so that the batching container 11 can pass.

[0065] An automatic batching method comprises the following specific steps:

[0066] Step 1: The batching container 11 on the feeding conveyor line 1 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end. The code scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11. The control system reads the batching information, determines the total number of batching times and the batching device 9 that the batching container 11 needs to pass through in each batching. The batching device 9 is the target batching device 9.

[0067] Step 2: Determine the number of times the current batching is performed and whether the current batching is the last batching. The number of times the current batching is performed is determined by the number of scans. For example, if the identification code is scanned for the second time during a batching, the number of times the current batching is performed is 2. If the identification code is scanned for the first time during a batching, the number of times the current batching is performed is 1.

[0068] The method for judging whether the current batching is the last batching is as follows: if the number of times the current batching corresponds to is less than the total number of times the batching is performed, then the current batching is not the last batching; if the number of times the current batching corresponds to is equal to the total number of times the batching is performed, then the current batching is the last batching.

[0069] Step 3: The first trolley 5 transports the batching container 11 to the target batching device 9 corresponding to the current batching, and the batching container 11 is transferred from the first trolley 5 to the batching conveyor line corresponding to the target batching device 9. The batching container 11 moves to the batching position on the batching conveyor line and stops. At this time, the contact part 8-4 on the weighing device 10 moves upward to support the bottom of the batching container 11 and lift the batching container 11 upward. The required types of raw materials are injected into the batching container 11 in turn through the target batching device 9, and the weight of the raw materials injected each time is detected by the weighing sensor 8-3; after the raw material injection is completed, the batching container 11 continues to move forward, and the second trolley 6 moves to the position corresponding to the batching container 11, and the batching container 11 is transferred to the second trolley 6; the second trolley 6 moves to the output end on the output side track 4.

[0070] Step 4: If the current batching is the last batching, the second trolley 6 transfers the batching container 11 to the unloading conveyor line 2; if the current batching is not the last batching, the second trolley 6 transfers the batching container 11 to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving position through the transition conveyor line 7. The scanning device scans the barcode on the batching container 11, and repeats steps 2 to 4.

[0071] The following is an example of a specific automatic batching method:

[0072] The automatic batching equipment has a total of four batching devices 9, namely batching device No. 1, batching device No. 2, batching device No. 3, and batching device No. 4. Batching devices No. 1 to No. 4 are arranged in order, with batching device No. 1 closest to the feeding conveyor line 1 and batching device No. 4 farthest from the feeding conveyor line 1. The types of raw materials that can be dispensed by each batching device 9 are known, and this information is stored in advance in the control system.

[0073] Now, it is necessary to prepare Reagent A. Reagent A is prepared from eight raw materials: Raw Material A, Raw Material B, Raw Material C, Raw Material D, Raw Material E, Raw Material F, Raw Material G, and Raw Material H. At this time, the ingredient information stored in the identification code on the ingredient container 11 includes the name and weight of each raw material used to prepare Reagent A.

[0074] Among them, the No. 1 batching device has an injection component 9-7 that can inject raw materials A, raw materials B, and raw materials C, the No. 2 batching device has an injection component 9-7 that can inject raw materials E and raw materials F, and the No. 3 batching device has an injection component 9-7 that can inject raw materials G and raw materials H; when the batching container 11 used to prepare reagent A moves to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end, the code scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11 to read the batching information. After obtaining the batching information, the control system determines the total number of batching times and the batching device 9 that the batching container 11 needs to pass through in each batching. In this example, a total of 3 batchings are required, so the total number of batchings is 3. The first batching needs to pass through batching device No. 1, so batching device No. 1 is the target batching device 9 for the first batching; similarly, the second batching needs to pass through batching device No. 2, so batching device No. 2 is the target batching device 9 for the second batching; the third batching needs to pass through batching device No. 3, so batching device No. 3 is the target batching device 9 for the third batching.

[0075] The control system then determines whether the current batching is the last batching; since the identification code is scanned for the first time during the current batching, the number of times corresponding to the current batching is 1, which is less than the total number of batching times, so the current batching is not the last batching;

[0076] Next, the batching container 11 is transported to the batching device No. 1 by the first trolley 5, and then the batching container 11 moves to the batching position on the batching conveyor line corresponding to the batching device No. 1 and stops. The contact component 8-4 on the weighing device 10 lifts the batching container 11 and weighs the batching container 11. The batching device No. 1 injects raw materials A, B, and C into the batching container 11 respectively; after the raw materials are injected, the contact component 8-4 on the weighing device 10 descends, and the batching container 11 moves to the second trolley 6, which transports the batching container 11 to the output end on the output side track 4; since this batching is not the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 will be transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end through the transition conveyor line 7;

[0077] Then the scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11 again, and then the second batching is carried out, and the raw materials E and F are injected into the batching container 11 through the No. 2 batching device; after the raw materials are injected, the batching container 11 is moved to the second trolley 6, and the second trolley 6 conveys the batching container 11 to the output end on the output side track 4; since this batching is not the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 will be transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end through the transition conveyor line 7; since the second batching is not the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 will be transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end through the transition conveyor line 7;

[0078] The scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11 again, and then the third batching is carried out; since the number of times corresponding to this batching is the same as the total number of batching times, this batching is the last batching; when the third batching is carried out, the raw materials E and F are injected into the batching container 11 through the No. 3 batching device. After the raw materials are injected, the batching container 11 is moved to the second trolley 6, and the second trolley 6 transports the batching container 11 to the output end on the output side track 4; since this batching is the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the unloading conveyor line 2, thereby completing the entire batching process.

[0079] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same or similar to that of the present application falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
