[0003] In the prior art, raw materials are transported from a raw material barrel to a raw material temporary storage tank, and the raw materials in the raw material temporary storage tank are weighed by a high-precision scale to precisely deploy the raw materials. In some prior art, the sugar flavor deployment raw material storage mode adopts a mode of customizing a raw material temporary storage tank, and the raw material transportation adopts a pipeline transportation or a deployment tank moving mode. This mode has some disadvantages, (1) the raw materials need to be transferred from original packaging to the raw material temporary storage tank, and the raw materials are lost during the transfer process, the shelf life of the raw materials in the temporary storage tank is shortened, and the raw materials are prone to deterioration and dryness, (2) the existing sugar flavor preparation system adopts a manual adding method for a single variety and a small amount of raw materials, which is not conducive to product quality control, and (3) the existing sugar flavor preparation system configures a large number of raw material temporary storage tanks for temporary storage of raw materials, which requires a large investment.

[0004] In other prior art, after the raw material barrel is placed on the device, the raw material barrel may shake during the transportation of the raw materials due to the vibration of the suction pump or other devices, and may even be overturned when the raw material barrel is light, which affects the transportation process of the raw materials and may cause waste of the raw materials. Therefore, the sugar flavor fine deployment device and the deployment method thereof are proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the problems in the background art, the application provides a sugar flavor fine deployment device and a deployment method thereof.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a device for finely blending sugar and spices, comprising: a plurality of barrel opening stations, a plurality of the barrel opening stations being provided with a visual addressing system; a gantry slide, the gantry slide being provided on the barrel opening station, the gantry slide being provided with a lid remover; a shelf, a stacker being provided on the outside of the shelf, a conveying system being provided between the shelf and the barrel opening station, the conveying system comprising a chain machine, a lifting and transplanting machine, and a shuttle car; a fixing mechanism, the fixing mechanism being provided on the top outer wall of the barrel opening station, the outer wall of the fixing mechanism being in contact with the raw material barrel; a suction pump, the suction pump being provided on the top outer wall of the gantry slide, the outer wall of the suction pump being provided on the feed pipe through a connecting mechanism; a high-precision scale, the top outer wall of the high-precision scale being in contact with the finished product barrel;

[0007] This design is a new flexible and fully automatic sugar and spice preparation system that is based on the storage of raw materials in their original packaging and directly participates in the preparation of sugar and spice. It uses stackers for storage and retrieval, chain machines, shuttle cars, jacking and transplanting machines and other equipment for material transportation. Visual addressing technology is used to locate the raw material barrel mouth (or barrel lid quick connector) and realize the opening and closing of the raw material barrel lid (or automatic docking of the quick connector). A peristaltic pump is used to suck the raw materials and a high-precision electronic scale is used for weight control.

[0008] The present invention adopts the method of directly involving the original packaging of raw materials in the preparation of material liquid to reduce loss and increase storage time, adopts stackers for storing and retrieving goods, chain machines, shuttle cars, jacking transplanters and other equipment to transport materials, uses visual addressing technology to locate the mouth of the raw material barrel and uses a linear slide to automatically open and close the cover, and uses peristaltic pumps and other equipment to move and locate the cover to realize the opening and closing of the raw material barrel cover (a quick-connect male connector is installed on the barrel cover, and the visual addressing technology is used to position the quick-connect connector of the barrel cover. The linear slide drives the docking device equipped with a quick-connect female connector to realize automatic docking of the suction tube). A peristaltic pump is used to suck the raw materials and a high-precision electronic scale is used for weight control of the batching system. The system is mainly designed based on the advanced addressing and positioning technology and mobile positioning technology in logistics storage technology.

[0009] The linear slide can be replaced by a robot and is also within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0010] Raw material barrels in their original packaging are used in the preparation of sugar and flavorings. Since raw material barrels are directly used in the preparation of sugar and flavorings, and given the wide variety of raw material barrel manufacturers and the potential for inconsistent specifications, trays are placed beneath the raw material barrels to facilitate the stacker's access and storage, as well as the movement of the raw material barrels on the conveyor system. When raw materials are received, manual or robotic placement of the raw material barrels onto customized trays is facilitated, and the conveyor system delivers them to scanning and weighing stations. The system automatically captures the raw material information from the barrels and records the weight. Based on this information, the system allocates the raw material to a designated location, and the stacker crane delivers the raw material to the designated location for storage. When preparing sugar and flavorings, the system retrieves the raw material barrels according to the recipe sheet. Retrieval is based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle. Upon receiving the recipe, the system retrieves the raw materials in order according to the recipe sheet and delivers them to the scanning station. After the scanning station reads the raw material information, the system automatically assigns the raw material to a suction station, and the raw material is then delivered to the designated suction station via the conveyor system. After the material is sucked in, the system automatically returns to the raw material warehouse, and the raw materials are weighed when passing the weighing equipment and recorded in the system database. Then the stacker returns to the raw material warehouse.

The peristaltic pump and automatic cover opening and closing equipment are installed on the automatic slide. The system finds the position of the mouth of the raw material barrel based on the vision addressing technology, and automatically transports the peristaltic pump and automatic cover opening and closing equipment to the designated position of the raw material barrel through servo positioning technology to perform the cover opening and closing of the raw material barrel and the raw material suction action.

[0042] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a sugar and spice fine mixing device, comprising: a plurality of barrel opening stations 1, each of which is provided with a visual addressing system 11; a gantry slide 12, the gantry slide 12 is provided on the barrel opening station 1, and a cover remover 13 is provided on the gantry slide 12; a shelf 14, a stacker 15 is provided on the outside of the shelf 14, and a conveying system is provided between the shelf 14 and the barrel opening station 1, the conveying system comprising a chain machine 16, a lifting and transplanting machine 17, and a shuttle car 10; a fixing mechanism 2, the fixing mechanism 2 is provided on the top outer wall of the barrel opening station 1, and the outer wall of the fixing mechanism 2 is in contact with the raw material barrel 6; a suction pump 3, the suction pump 3 is provided on the top outer wall of the gantry slide 12, and the outer wall of the suction pump 3 is provided on the feed pipe 5 through the connecting mechanism 4; a high-precision scale 8, and the top outer wall of the high-precision scale 8 is in contact with the finished product barrel 7;

[0045] Among them, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a fixing seat 201, the top outer wall of the fixing seat 201 is fixedly connected to the top plate 202, and the top outer wall of the top plate 202 is slidably connected to the clamping plate 204; the connecting mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 401, and the inner wall of the connecting plate 401 is elastically connected to the wedge block 403 through a telescopic spring 402.

[0046] The above scheme is adopted: the raw material barrels 6 are all stored on the shelves 14, and the shelves 14 use the chain machine 16 to transport the raw material barrels 6 to multiple barrel opening stations 1. The chain machine 16 is a conveying system, which can transport the raw material barrels 6 in combination with the jacking transplanter 17 and the shuttle car 10; a control system is set on the barrel opening station 1, and the visual addressing system 11 takes the position information of the barrel cover of the raw material barrel 6 and sends it to the control system. The raw material barrel 6 contains raw materials for sugar and spice blending. The control system will drive the gantry slide 12 to move the cover remover 13 to the top of the barrel cover of the raw material barrel 6, and the cover remover 13 automatically removes the barrel cover, and then the control system moves the cover remover 13 to an empty place; the raw materials are fixed by the fixing mechanism 2 After the raw material barrel 6 is filled with the raw materials, the finished product barrel 7 is placed on the high-precision scale 8, and the suction pump 3 is driven to move downward by the gantry slide 12, so that the two sets of delivery pipes 5 are respectively inserted into the raw material barrel 6 and the finished product barrel 7, and the raw materials in the raw material barrel 6 can be delivered to the finished product barrel 7 through the suction pump 3, and the fine mixing operation is performed under the weighing of the high-precision scale 8. After the mixing is completed, the gantry slide 12 moves the suction pump 3 and the delivery pipe 5 upward, and the delivery pipe 5 is separated from the raw material barrel 6 and the finished product barrel 7, and the raw material barrel 6 and the finished product barrel 7 can be removed to complete the mixing operation; the connecting mechanism 4 can facilitate the connection between the delivery pipe 5 and the suction pump 3. When the delivery pipe 5 needs to be cleaned and maintained, its disassembly and installation are more efficient, and more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0047] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the outer wall of the top plate 202 is provided with a guide groove 203, the outer wall of the bottom end of the splint 204 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 211, the inner wall of the fixed seat 201 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 205, the outer wall of the rotating rod 205 is provided with a worm gear assembly 207, the inner wall of the fixed seat 201 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 206, the outer wall of the rotating block 206 is provided with a groove 208, the top outer wall of the rotating block 206 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 209, the outer wall of the rotating plate 209 is provided with an inclined groove 210, the outer wall of the rotating plate 209 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 212, and the inner wall of the fixed block 212 is elastically connected to the protrusion 214 through the connecting spring 213.

[0048] The above scheme is adopted: the fixing mechanism 2 can fix the raw material barrel 6 so that it will not fall over due to the vibration of the device during the mixing process, affecting the mixing process, and the fixing mechanism 2 can adjust the distance between the three groups of clamping plates 204 to fix raw material barrels 6 of different sizes, with high adaptability; three groups of guide grooves 203 and inclined grooves 210 are provided, and the guide grooves 203 can guide the moving trajectory of the slide bar 211 and the clamping plate 204, so that the three groups of clamping plates 204 can only move linearly toward the center or circumference of the top plate 202 at the same time; the rotating block 206 and the rotating plate 209 can be fixed by engaging the protrusion 214 with the groove 208 so that the two can rotate synchronously; and after the protrusion 214 is out of contact with the groove 208, the fixing block 212 can be dialed to drive the rotating plate 209 to rotate, and at this time the rotating block 206 remains fixed.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the fixed seat 201 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the barrel opening station 1, and the rotating plate 209 is rotatably connected to the bottom outer wall of the top plate 202; the worm gear assembly 207 includes a worm wheel and a worm, the worm wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the rotating block 206, the worm wheel is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 201, the worm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 205, and the worm is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 201; one end of the connecting spring 213 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protrusion 214, and the other end of the connecting spring 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 212, the protrusion 214 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 212, and the protrusion 214 is engaged with the groove 208; the rotating rod 205 passes through the outer wall of the fixed seat 201, and the sliding rod 211 contacts the inner walls of the inclined groove 210 and the guide groove 203.

[0050] The above solution is adopted: the worm gear assembly 207 is the existing technology. When the rotating rod 205 is rotated, the worm will be driven to rotate synchronously, and the worm wheel will be driven to rotate. The worm wheel will drive the rotating block 206 to rotate synchronously. If the protrusion 214 is engaged with the groove 208 at this time, the rotating plate 209 will be driven to rotate synchronously; if the protrusion 214 is disengaged from the groove 208 at this time, the rotating block 206 cannot be rotated when the rotating plate 209 rotates, because the rotating block 206 is fixed to the worm wheel, and the worm wheel cannot rotate alone when the worm does not rotate; when the protrusion 214 is pulled, the connecting spring 213 will be forced to contract, and the protrusion 214 will be disengaged from the groove 208, and the fixed block 212 can be toggled to rotate the rotating plate 209, and the inclined groove 210 The sliding rod 211 will be squeezed to move along the inner wall of the guide groove 203, thereby driving the corresponding splint 204 to move toward the middle or outside at the same time; when the splint 204 moves to the appropriate position and is close to contacting the outer wall of the raw material barrel 6, the protrusion 214 can be clamped into the corresponding groove 208 under the elastic force of the connecting spring 213, and the rotating rod 205 is rotated, and the rotating block 206 and the rotating plate 209 are driven to rotate synchronously through the worm gear assembly 207, and the positions of the three groups of sliding rods 211 and the splint 204 are further accurately adjusted through the inclined groove 210, so that the three groups of splints 204 can fit more closely to the outer wall of the raw material barrel 6, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect, and the operation is also more convenient and the adaptability is also higher.

[0051] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the inner wall of the connecting plate 401 is slidably connected to a trapezoidal block 405 , the inner wall of the connecting plate 401 is slidably connected to a connecting rod 404 , and the outer wall of the conveying pipe 5 is provided with a card slot 9 .

[0052] The above scheme is adopted: the connecting mechanism 4 is provided with two groups, which can fix the two groups of feed pipes 5 respectively; the trapezoidal block 405 passes through the top outer wall of the connecting plate 401, and can be pressed downward to move the wedge block 403 to the inner wall of the connecting plate 401, so that the feed pipe 5 can be released and removed; the arc surface of the wedge block 403 faces outward, and when installing the feed pipe 5, it is pressed toward the connecting plate 401, squeezing the arc surface of the wedge block 403, so that the wedge block 403 moves to the inner wall of the connecting plate 401, compressing the telescopic spring 402; when the feed pipe 5 moves to the position corresponding to the slot 9 and the wedge block 403, the wedge block 403 can be ejected under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 402 and stuck in the slot 9, completing the fixation of the feed pipe 5.

[0053] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the suction pump 3, one end of the telescopic spring 402 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wedge block 403, and the other end of the telescopic spring 402 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 401; the wedge block 403 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 401, and the wedge block 403 is engaged with the slot 9; one end of the connecting rod 404 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the trapezoidal block 405, and the other end of the connecting rod 404 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wedge block 403.

[0054] The above scheme is adopted: two groups of connecting rods 404 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed on the inner walls on both sides of the connecting plate 401. Under normal circumstances, the telescopic spring 402 keeps the wedge block 403 in a certain position. At this time, one end of the connecting rod 404 contacts the short side inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 405. When the trapezoidal block 405 is pressed downward, the inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 405 squeezes the connecting rod 404. Since the connecting rod 404 can only move laterally in the inner wall of the connecting plate 401, it will move laterally to both sides under the action of the trapezoidal block 405, driving the corresponding wedge block 403 to move to the inner wall of the connecting plate 401. The wedge block 403 will be out of contact with the slot 9, and the limit on the feed pipe 5 can be released to be removed conveniently and quickly. There is no need to disassemble and install by turning the bolts multiple times, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the outer wall of the suction pump 3 is provided with a stirring module, and the stirring module includes a bracket 31. The outer wall of the bottom end of the bracket 31 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 33, and the outer wall of the rotating rod 33 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 34. The inner wall of the sleeve 34 is elastically connected to a partition 36 through a reset spring 35. A limiting groove 37 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 34. The inner wall of the sleeve 34 is clamped with a stirring rod 32. The inner wall of the stirring rod 32 is slidably connected to two groups of limit blocks 39, and the two groups of limit blocks 39 are elastically connected by an elastic member 38.

[0057] The above scheme is adopted: when the suction pump 3 moves up and down, the stirring module will move up and down synchronously. When the feeding pipe 5 is inserted into the raw material barrel 6, the stirring rod 32 under the stirring module is also inside the raw material barrel 6, and the rotating rod 33 is set under the bracket 31 through the driving module. The two sets of rotating rods 33 can be driven to rotate by the driving module, and the raw materials of sugar and spices inside the raw material barrel 6 can be stirred by the stirring rod 32, which can avoid the problem of internal raw materials agglomerating and affecting material suction due to the long-term placement of the raw material barrel 6; and the stirring rod 32 can be conveniently and quickly installed and disassembled inside the sleeve 34, without the need to operate by turning the bolts multiple times, saving time and effort.

[0058] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the suction pump 3, one end of the return spring 35 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the partition 36, the other end of the return spring 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 34, and the partition 36 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 34; the two ends of the elastic member 38 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two groups of limit blocks 39, the partition 36 is in contact with the outer wall of the stirring rod 32, and the limit block 39 is engaged with the limit groove 37.

[0059] The above solution is adopted: when installing the stirring rod 32, the stirring rod 32 can be inserted into the sleeve 34, and the arc surface of the limit block 39 is squeezed by the sleeve 34, so that the two sets of limit blocks 39 move toward the inside of the stirring rod 32 at the same time, compressing the elastic member 38. After the stirring rod 32 is inserted into the sleeve 34 and contacts the partition 36, it can be rotated to rotate the limit block 39 to a position corresponding to the limit groove 37. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 38, the limit block 39 pops out and gets stuck in the limit groove 37, so that the stirring rod 32 can be limited so that it will not come out of the sleeve. 34 falls off inside; and under the elastic force of the return spring 35, the stirring rod 32 cannot squeeze the partition 36 to move during the stirring process. When the stirring rod 32 needs to be removed for cleaning and maintenance, the stirring rod 32 can be pressed inward to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 35 and drive the partition 36 to move synchronously, so that the limit block 39 is squeezed by the inner wall of the sleeve 34 and moves again to the inside of the stirring rod 32. Then, the stirring rod 32 is rotated so that the limit block 39 and the limit groove 37 are intertwined, and the stirring rod 32 can be directly pulled out to complete the disassembly, which is more convenient.

[0060] This application also proposes a method for finely blending sugar and spices, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0061] S1. The flexible and fully automatic sugar and spice preparation system directly involves the sugar and spice raw material barrels 6 in the preparation of the liquid material. The raw material barrels 6 are stored in the raw material warehouse, picked up by the stacker 15, and transported to the batching station by logistics equipment. The barrel mouth is positioned using the visual addressing system 11, and the cover remover 13 is moved to the designated position through the gantry slide 12 to open and close the cover. The suction pump 3 is moved to the designated position to suck the material and clean the material. Finally, the raw material barrels 6 are returned to the raw material warehouse through the logistics equipment.

[0062] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0063] The operator can first place the raw material barrel 6 on the fixing mechanism 2, pull the protrusion 214, and the connecting spring 213 will be forced to contract, so that the protrusion 214 is out of contact with the groove 208 on the outer wall of the rotating block 206, and then move the fixing block 212 to drive the rotating plate 209 to rotate. The inclined groove 210 will squeeze the slide bar 211, and the slide bar 211 moves along the inner wall of the guide groove 203, thereby driving the three groups of splints 204 fixed to it to move in a straight line toward the center or circumference of the top plate 202 at the same time, and preliminarily adjust the distance between the splints 204 to make it close to the position of contact with the outer wall of the raw material barrel 6.

[0064] After the adjustment is completed, the protrusion 214 is stuck in the corresponding groove 208 under the elastic force of the connecting spring 213. At this time, the rotating block 206 and the rotating plate 209 can rotate synchronously; rotate the rotating rod 205, the rotating rod 205 drives the worm to rotate synchronously, the worm drives the worm gear to rotate, and the worm gear drives the rotating block 206 and the rotating plate 209 to rotate synchronously; during the rotation of the rotating plate 209, the inclined groove 210 further accurately adjusts the position of the three groups of sliding rods 211 and the splint 204, so that the three groups of splints 204 are tightly fitted to the outer wall of the raw material barrel 6, completing the fixation of the raw material barrel 6, and preventing the raw material barrel 6 from tipping over due to vibration of the device during the mixing process.

[0065] Then the feeding pipe 5 can be installed on the suction pump 3; the feeding pipe 5 is pressed toward the connecting plate 401, and the feeding pipe 5 squeezes the arc surface of the wedge block 403, so that the wedge block 403 moves to the inner wall of the connecting plate 401, compressing the telescopic spring 402; when the feeding pipe 5 moves to the position of the slot 9 on its outer wall corresponding to the position of the wedge block 403, the wedge block 403 pops out under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 402 and is stuck in the slot 9, completing the fixation of the feeding pipe 5; at this time, one end of one group of feeding pipes 5 is located above the raw material barrel 6, and one end of the other group of feeding pipes 5 is located above the finished product barrel 7.

[0066] After the installation of the feed pipe 5 is completed, the stirring rod 32 is installed again; the stirring rod 32 can be inserted into the sleeve 34, so that the two sets of limit blocks 39 are squeezed and moved to the inside of the stirring rod 32, and then the stirring rod 32 is rotated so that the limit blocks 39 correspond to the limit grooves 37. The two sets of limit blocks 39 pop out and engage with the limit grooves 37 under the action of the elastic member 38, completing the installation of the stirring rod 32.

[0067] The suction pump 3 is driven to move downward by the gantry sliding table 12, so that the two groups of material conveying pipes 5 are inserted into the raw material barrel 6 and the finished product barrel 7 respectively, and then the suction pump 3 is started. The suction pump 3 draws the raw material in the raw material barrel 6 through the material conveying pipe 5 in the raw material barrel 6, and then conveys the raw material to the finished product barrel 7 through the other group of material conveying pipes 5. Meanwhile, the driving module on the support 31 is started to drive the two groups of rotating rods 33 to rotate, so that the raw material in the raw material barrel 6 is stirred to prevent the raw material from caking and affecting the suction. During the conveying process, the high-precision scale 8 weighs the material in the finished product barrel 7 in real time. According to the display data of the high-precision scale 8, the operator controls the working time and power of the suction pump 3 and other parameters to realize the fine deployment operation of the sugar flavoring.

[0068] After long-term use, the inner wall of the material conveying pipe 5 may have raw material residues, which need to be cleaned and maintained. At this time, the operator can press downward the trapezoidal block 405 penetrating the top end outer wall of the connecting plate 401. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 405 extrudes the connecting rod 404, so that the connecting rod 404 moves laterally to both sides under the action of the trapezoidal block 405, and drives the corresponding wedge block 403 to move into the inner wall of the connecting plate 401. The wedge block 403 is out of contact with the clamping groove 9 of the outer wall of the material conveying pipe 5, so that the limiting of the material conveying pipe 5 is released. The material conveying pipe 5 can be conveniently and quickly taken down for cleaning and maintenance, without the need to disassemble and install the material conveying pipe 5 by rotating the bolt, thereby improving the work efficiency.

[0069] When it is necessary to disassemble the stirring rod 32 for cleaning or maintenance, the stirring rod 32 can be pushed into the sleeve 34, extruding the partition plate 36 and compressing the return spring 35, so that the limiting block 39 is out of contact with the limiting groove 37. Then the stirring rod 32 is rotated to make the limiting block 39 intersect with the limiting groove 37. At this time, the two groups of limiting blocks 39 are in the inner wall of the stirring rod 32, so that the stirring rod 32 can be taken out to complete the disassembly, which is relatively convenient and fast.
