Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of can product pressure detection, in particular to a food can product pressure detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Food cans are a long-term storage form of food packaged by sealing containers and subjected to high-temperature sterilization processing. It is crucial to detect the pressure of food cans. During transportation and stacking, cans need to withstand the combined pressure caused by vibration, extrusion and changes in temperature and humidity. If the structural strength of the can body is insufficient, deformation may occur, affecting the appearance of the product. Through accurate pressure detection, the lateral extrusion, top stacking and other stress states in the actual transportation scenario can be simulated to evaluate the can body's resistance to deformation and material uniformity, thereby screening out products with structural defects, ensuring the integrity of the cans in the supply chain and avoiding food safety risks and economic losses caused by packaging failure.

[0003] Among the devices for pressure testing of food cans, the utility model patent with publication number CN220170753U discloses a pressure detection device for meat can production. This technical solution uses two groups of push plates to press and extrude the side walls of meat cans to detect the pressure on the side walls of meat cans. It is convenient to control the first electric hydraulic rod and the second electric hydraulic rod to apply different pressures to detect meat cans, and the pressure application method is simple.

[0004] Although the above detection device can quickly test the pressure of food cans, there are multiple complex stress states such as lateral extrusion and top stacking during actual food can transportation. The resistance pressure on the side walls and corner positions of the food cans in the delivery vehicle varies in direction and size. The above device uses a conventional single-direction pressure test method, which cannot accurately simulate the stress characteristics under the above complex working conditions, resulting in a deviation between the test data and the actual pressure condition in the transportation environment. In addition, the above test process has a greater impact on the structural integrity of the can body. After a single test, the deformation of the can body makes it impossible to repeatedly adjust the position for multi-angle testing, and the limited test positions may increase the risk of accidental data.

[0039] The upper positioning element 23 is used for positioning the top of the food can and applying a continuous pressure, so as to simulate the scene that the top of the food can is subjected to a vertical pressure of other stacked food cans in the actual food can transportation process, so that the detection is more suitable for the use occasion of the food can, and the detection result is more practical. Meanwhile, by driving the adjusting ring 238 to move up and down through the swivel ring 237 and synchronously adjusting the arc-shaped clamping jaw 236, the arc-shaped clamping jaw 236 can be positioned for food cans of different sizes. Meanwhile, in cooperation with the arc-shaped sleeve 246 and the vertical rod 244, the pressure sensor 243 can be close to the inner side wall of the food can, so that the deformation of the food can can be quickly and accurately mastered.

[0040] Specifically, after the arc-shaped plate 212 to be positioned completes positioning of the food can, the height of the adjusting ring 238 is adjusted by rotating the swivel ring 237 according to the size of the food can, then the installation sleeve 235 is synchronously driven to move through the adjusting ring 238 cooperating with the connecting rod 239, so as to adjust the position of the arc-shaped clamping jaw 236 for the size of the food can. With the change of the position of the arc-shaped clamping jaw 236, the arc-shaped sleeve 246 is synchronously driven to change the position through the L-shaped connecting rod 245.

In order to ensure that the pressure sensor 243 is at the position where the deformation is most likely to occur, the height of the pressure sensor 243 is adjusted by rotating the vertical stud 240, until the pressure sensor 243 moves to the middle of the food can.

[0042] The abutting unit 4 is used for simulating the situation that the food cans are located at the side wall of the conveying vehicle and the corner position of the conveying vehicle during the actual pressure process, and the pressure unit 3 is used for abutting against the food cans in different directions to make the abutting pressure more in line with the actual situation, and only the situation with the largest pressure is detected, so that the deformation of the food cans in the same batch during the conveying process after the detection is completed is avoided.

[0043] Specifically, after the food cans are positioned, the electric sliding block I is controlled to drive the abutting plates 423 to move towards the food cans until the hinge positions of the two abutting plates 423 abut against the food cans, then the pressure unit 3 is controlled to press the food cans in a direction perpendicular to the two abutting plates 423, after the pressing is completed, the pressure unit 3 is controlled to reset, then the gas cylinder II 422 is controlled to drive the hinge positions of the two abutting plates 423 to move to the left, at this time, the two abutting plates 423 will rotate simultaneously with the hinge positions as the center, and due to the cooperation of the guide rods 424 and the guide grooves, the included angle between the two abutting plates 423 is a right angle after the abutting plates 423 rotate, then the electric sliding block I is controlled to drive the abutting plates 423 to move towards the food cans again until the two abutting plates 423 abut against the food cans respectively.

[0046] When the hinged positions of the two abutting plates 423 are pressed against the food cans, at this time, the moving sleeve 312 and the embedded rod 313 are located at the middle position of the longitudinal slide rail 311, at this time, the limiting slide blocks limit the position of the connecting plate 321 under the action of the moving sleeve 312, so that the connecting element 32 can be accurately positioned corresponding to the position of the pressure sensor 243, and it is ensured that the connecting element 32 is only subjected to the radial pressing force with the food cans as the center during the pressing process, and the connecting element 32 is in a stable state, then the control cylinder two 324 drives the arc-shaped pressing block 33 to complete the pressing action on the food cans horizontally to the left, until the arc-shaped pressing block 33 presses against the food cans, the food cans will continue to be pressed by the arc-shaped pressing block 33, at this time, the reading of the pressure sensor 243 is also zero, when the food cans are deformed by the pressing action of the arc-shaped pressing block 33, the pressure sensor 243 will be immediately pressed by the food cans to change the reading and no longer be zero, at this time, the pushing action of the cylinder two 324 is stopped and the moving distance of the arc-shaped pressing block 33 is recorded, then the cylinder two 324 controls the arc-shaped pressing block 33 to reset; when the two abutting plates 423 complete abutting with the food cans respectively, the control electric slide block two drives the moving sleeve 312 and the embedded rod 313 to move forward and backward, so as to drive the straight line where the connecting element 32 is located to coincide with the position of the pressure sensor 243, then the cylinder two 324 drives the arc-shaped pressing block 33 to move to the left again and completes the pressing action on the food cans, and then the same way as recording the data above is adopted to record the moving distance of the arc-shaped pressing block 33 when the pressure sensor 243 generates the reading.

[0047] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the moving position of the electric slide block two is consistent every time, the movement of the electric slide block two needs to be accurately controlled, or the position indicating structure as shown in Figure 6 is used to accurately control the moving position of the electric slide block two, the position indicating structure comprises a pointing plate fixed on the moving sleeve 312, and a plurality of position indicating plates are fixed on the right side of the longitudinal slide rail 311.

[0048] Referring to Figure 8The locking structure comprises a transmission plate 325 rotatably installed at the left end of the driving plate 323, the transmission plate 325 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped pressing block 33, the arc-shaped pressing block 33 is fixedly connected with a locking matching plate 326 on the inner arc surface and above the transmission plate 325, the top of the driving plate 323 is fixedly connected with an inverted L-shaped fixed plate 327, the horizontal section of the L-shaped fixed plate 327 is vertically and slidingly connected with a locking rod 328, the locking matching plate 326 is provided with a locking hole with an upper end flange at a position corresponding to the locking rod 328, a return spring is connected between the locking rod 328 and the horizontal section of the L-shaped fixed plate 327, and the front and rear sides of the driving plate 323 are jointly provided with an unlocking assembly for unlocking the locking structure together with the top of the detection platform 1.

[0049] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 6-8 The unlocking assembly comprises an unlocking block 329 symmetrically fixed on the top of the detection platform 1, a guide inclined surface is formed in the top of the unlocking block 329, a round rod is fixedly connected to the top of the locking rod 328, an elastic telescopic rod is slidingly connected to the middle of the unlocking block 329, a trigger block 340 is fixedly connected to the left end of the transmission plate 325, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic rod is used for pressing the trigger block 340 and causing the arc-shaped pressing block 33 to slightly rotate or have a rotating trend, a wedge-shaped block 341 is fixedly connected to the section of the elastic telescopic rod away from the transmission plate 325, a compression spring is connected between the wedge-shaped block 341 and the unlocking block 329, L-shaped push rods 342 are symmetrically fixed on the front and rear sides of the driving plate 323, the left end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped push rod 342 is a pushing inclined surface, and a scale is installed on the front side of the driving plate 323.

[0050] The connecting element 32 not only can quickly push the arc-shaped pressing block 33 to complete the pressing of the food cans, but also can quickly measure the moving distance of the arc-shaped pressing block 33 by the scale. When the connecting element 32 is located at the front and rear end positions by the cooperation of the locking structure and the unlocking assembly, the rotating state of the arc-shaped pressing block 33 can be unlocked, so that when the arc-shaped pressing block 33 is pressed to the food cans again, the arc-shaped pressing block 33 is slightly deflected or has a deflection trend by the telescopic pressing of the elastic telescopic rod, thereby simulating the situation that the actively pressed food cans have a trend of moving close to one side wall and generating a friction force to cause the pressed food cans to be pressed to increase the pressing strength of the food cans in the conveying process.

[0051] Referring to Figure 9When the position of the connecting element 32 is located at the front side of the limiting slide rail 314, at this time the drive plate 323 is pushed to the left by the air cylinder one 324, so that the drive plate 323 drives the trigger block 340 and the L-shaped push rod 342 and the arc-shaped abutting block 33 to move to the left and move to the side wall of the food can, with the movement of the arc-shaped abutting block 33, the front side round rod is slowly moved upward under the guide of the guide inclined surface corresponding to the top of the unlocking block 329, when the arc-shaped abutting block 33 contacts the side wall of the food can, the round rod moves on the guide inclined surface of the top of the unlocking block 329, at this time the locking rod 328 is gradually separated from the locking hole under the action of the round rod, and the L-shaped push rod 342 pushes the wedge block 341 and pushes the elastic telescopic rod to abut against the transmission plate 325 and the trigger block 340 in sequence and shrinks, when the locking rod 328 is completely separated from the locking hole, at this time the arc-shaped abutting block 33 can be deflected, and the elastic telescopic rod in the shrinking state can press the trigger block 340 at this time, and the arc-shaped abutting block 33 has a deflection tendency, if the contact friction between the arc-shaped abutting block 33 and the food can is small, at this time the arc-shaped abutting block 33 will be deflected slightly, and due to the elastic pressing action of the elastic telescopic rod, the arc-shaped abutting block 33 is deflected to the direction of the abutting plate 423 closer, in this process, the abutting position of the arc-shaped abutting block 33 and the food can does not change and keeps consistent with the position of the pressure sensor 243, so that the friction force generated by the abutting position of the arc-shaped abutting block 33 and the food can is increased to increase the pressure on the food can, and then the food can is more easily deformed.

[0052] It should be noted that when the position of the connecting element 32 is located at the rear side of the limiting slide rail 314, the working process is consistent with that of the front side.

[0053] The working steps of the present application are as follows: first, the detection personnel first place the unsealed food can standard sample on the positioning seat 211, then rotate the two-way threaded rod 213 to drive the two positioning arc-shaped plates 212 to clamp the standard sample to complete the radial positioning, then rotate the swivel ring 237 to adjust the height of the arc-shaped clamping jaw 236 according to the size of the standard sample, synchronously link the L-shaped connecting rod 245 to adjust the position of the pressure sensor 243, ensure that the axis is consistent with the subsequent pressing direction, then control the vertical air cylinder 22 to press the arc-shaped clamping jaw 236 to the top of the standard sample, and adjust the pressure sensor 243 to the most easily deformed position in the middle of the standard sample by rotating the vertical stud 240.

[0054] Second step, after the standard sample positioning is completed, control the electric sliding block one drive two hinged against the plate 423 movement, so that its hinge point against the left side of the standard sample, then control the movement of the sleeve 312 and embedded rod 313 to the midpoint of the longitudinal slide rail 311, then through the connecting element 32 drive arc-shaped pressure block 33 transverse compression standard sample, in the process of real-time monitoring pressure sensor 243, when the pressure sensor 243 reading is not zero immediately stop arc-shaped pressure block 33 movement, and record the arc-shaped pressure block 33 movement distance (i.e. critical displacement of deformation).

[0055] Third step, after the completion of the standard sample transverse compression test, start the cylinder two 422 pull against the plate 423 hinge point left, guide rod 424 and guide slot with the expansion of the plate 423 into a right angle, then control the electric sliding block one again push against the plate 423 respectively contact the two sides of the standard sample, then control the electric sliding block two adjustment movement of the sleeve 312 and embedded rod 313 to different positions before and after, repeat the compression and record the displacement of arc-shaped pressure block 33 again, in the process of compression, elastic expansion rod push arc-shaped pressure block 33 deflection to against the plate 423 direction, increase the contact friction to strengthen the deformation effect.

[0056] Fourth step, after the standard sample single place test data are recorded, remove the positioning pin, rotate the positioning seat 211 drive cans, after the lock seat 215 and stable seat 214 re-alignment of the positioning pin and fixed, then repeat step one to step three, in turn test cans different circumferential position, record multiple displacement data of arc-shaped pressure block 33 to eliminate the contingency.

[0057] In the fifth step, after the compression strength of the standard sample is detected, the standard sample is removed and replaced with the food can sample to be detected. Then the above four steps are repeated to obtain the displacement data of the arc-shaped pressing block 33 under the same conditions. Then all the recorded data are compared. If the deformation critical displacement of the food can sample to be detected before and after the detection is larger than that after the transverse compression test and the difference exceeds the allowable error range, or the deformation critical displacement of all positions of the food can sample to be detected is smaller than that of the standard sample and is not within the allowable error range, it indicates that the compression strength of the food can sample to be detected is poor. If the deformation critical displacement of the food can sample to be detected before and after the detection is larger than that after the transverse compression test and the difference does not exceed the allowable error range, or the deformation critical displacement of all positions of the food can sample to be detected is smaller than that of the standard sample and is within the allowable error range, it indicates that the compression strength of the food can sample to be detected meets the requirements. If there is a large deviation in the deformation critical displacement of each position of the food can sample to be detected after the test, it indicates that the uniformity of the overall can material of the food can sample to be detected is poor, otherwise it indicates that the uniformity of the overall can material of the food can sample to be detected meets the requirements.
