Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rice ball processing technology, and in particular to an automatic packaging device for rice ball processing. Background Technology
[0002] Rice balls, a traditional and convenient food with a long history, are experiencing tremendous growth in demand in modern society, especially in convenience stores, breakfast shops, and the fast-food industry. The production process of rice balls is relatively complex, typically involving several key steps: first, steaming the rice to ensure it's soft and palatable; second, adding ingredients such as meat floss, pickled vegetables, and ham, depending on different taste preferences; third, shaping the rice balls by hand or machine into regular round or oval shapes; and finally, packaging the rice balls in sealed containers to ensure hygiene and portability. Each step is crucial, collectively guaranteeing the quality and taste of the rice balls.
[0003] However, in existing equipment, rice ball packaging mostly relies on simple mechanical devices for semi-automatic production, and manual intervention is still required when sealing, resulting in low packaging efficiency. Therefore, an automatic packaging device for rice ball processing is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic packaging device for rice ball processing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic packaging device for rice ball processing, comprising a first conveyor table, two L-shaped fixed columns fixedly connected to one side of the first conveyor table, a controller fixedly connected to one end of the two L-shaped fixed columns, two connecting columns fixedly connected to the opposite side of the first conveyor table, and a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the four connecting columns, wherein a packaging structure is provided on the support plate. The packaging structure includes an electric push rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of a support plate. The electric push rod is electrically connected to a controller. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the piston end of the electric push rod. An ultrasonic encapsulator is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. The ultrasonic encapsulator is electrically connected to the controller. The piston end of the electric push rod drives the movable plate to move downward. The movable plate drives the ultrasonic encapsulator and the encapsulation film to move downward, so that the ultrasonic encapsulator presses the encapsulation film onto the upper surface of the packaging box and performs ultrasonic welding.
[0006] T-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the movable plates. Each T-shaped plate is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft and a drive roller on one side. One end of one rotating shaft is fixedly connected to an unwinding reel by bolts, and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a take-up reel by bolts. The encapsulation film on the unwinding reel passes through the bottom of the two drive rollers and the ultrasonic encapsulator and is fixedly connected to the take-up reel. The two rotating shafts drive the unwinding reel and the take-up reel to rotate respectively. The unwinding reel releases the encapsulation film, and the take-up reel collects the used encapsulation film and moves the unused encapsulation film to the bottom of the ultrasonic encapsulator, ready for the next encapsulation.
[0007] Each of the shafts is fixedly connected to a sprocket, and a chain is movably mounted on both sprockets. The sprockets and the chain drive the other shaft to rotate.
[0008] A protective cover is fixedly connected to one side of both T-shaped plates. A first servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the protective cover. The output shaft of the first servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rotating shafts. The first servo motor is electrically connected to the controller. The protective cover prevents workers from being injured due to accidental contact with the chain or sprocket.
[0009] The first conveyor platform has two first conveyor rollers rotatably connected inside. A first conveyor belt is tensioned and sleeved on both first conveyor rollers. Multiple packaging boxes are evenly placed on the upper surface of the first conveyor belt. A second servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the first conveyor platform. The output shaft of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the first conveyor rollers. The second servo motor is electrically connected to a controller. The controller controls the second servo motor to start. The second servo motor drives the first conveyor belt to rotate through the first conveyor rollers. The first conveyor belt drives the packaging boxes on the upper surface to move.
[0010] A first laser scanning sensor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first conveyor table. The first laser scanning sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The first conveyor belt drives the packaging box to move again, so that the first packaging box moves to the bottom of the ultrasonic sealer. At the same time, after the first laser scanning sensor detects that the packaging box has reached the position, it transmits the signal to the controller, which stops the second servo motor again.
[0011] Four support columns are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first conveyor platform. A second conveyor platform is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the four support columns. Two second conveyor rollers are rotatably connected inside the second conveyor platform. A second conveyor belt is tensioned and sleeved on the two second conveyor rollers. A third servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the second conveyor platform. The output shaft of the third servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the second conveyor rollers. A second laser scanning sensor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second conveyor platform. The second laser scanning sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The second laser scanning sensor transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the second servo motor to stop and simultaneously controls the third servo motor to start. The third servo motor drives the second conveyor belt to rotate through the second conveyor rollers. The second conveyor belt moves the rice ball on the upper surface, causing the first rice ball to fall into the first packaging box.
[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: Compared with existing technologies, this automatic packaging device for rice balls utilizes an electric push rod, a moving plate, an ultrasonic sealer, a T-shaped plate, a rotating shaft, a transmission roller, an unwinding reel, a rewinding reel, a sealing film, sprockets, chains, a protective cover, and a first servo motor. The piston end of the electric push rod drives the moving plate downwards, which in turn drives the ultrasonic sealer and the sealing film downwards. This allows the ultrasonic sealer to press the sealing film onto the upper surface of the packaging box and perform ultrasonic welding for sealing. After sealing, the device can be raised. Simultaneously, the controller starts the first servo motor, which drives one of the rotating shafts to rotate. Through the transmission of sprockets and chains, the first rotating shaft rotates the other shaft. The two shafts drive the unwinding reel and the rewinding reel to rotate, respectively. The unwinding reel releases the sealing film, and the rewinding reel collects the used sealing film. Unused sealing film is moved to the bottom of the ultrasonic sealer for the next sealing cycle. This process requires no human intervention, improving sealing efficiency. Furthermore, the protective cover prevents workers from being injured by accidentally touching the chains or sprockets.

A rotating shaft 605 and a transmission roller 606 are rotatably connected to one side of each T-shaped plate 604. One end of one of the rotating shafts 605 is fixed with a bolt. A unwinding reel 607 is fixedly connected to one end of another rotating shaft 605, which is bolted to a take-up reel 608. The encapsulation film 609 on the unwinding reel 607 passes through the bottom of the two drive rollers 606 and the ultrasonic encapsulator 603, and is fixedly connected to the take-up reel 608.

The unwinding reel 607 releases the encapsulation film 609, and the take-up reel 608 collects the used encapsulation film 609. The unused encapsulation film 609 is moved to the bottom of the ultrasonic encapsulator 603 to prepare for the next encapsulation. No staff intervention is required, which helps to improve encapsulation efficiency. At the same time, the protective cover 612 protects staff from accidental contact with chain 611 or sprocket 610, which could lead to injury. To achieve the purpose of conveying rice balls, four support columns 11 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first conveyor platform 1. The upper surfaces of the four support columns 11 are all fixedly connected to the second conveyor platform 12. Two second conveyor rollers are rotatably connected inside the second conveyor platform 12. A second conveyor belt 13 is tensioned and sleeved on the two second conveyor rollers. A third servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the second conveyor platform 12. The output shaft of the third servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the second conveyor rollers. A second laser scanning sensor 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second conveyor platform 12. The second laser scanning sensor 15 is electrically connected to the controller 3.

The third servo motor 14 drives the second conveyor belt 13 to rotate through the second conveyor rollers. The second conveyor belt 13 moves the rice balls on the upper surface, causing the first rice ball to fall into the first packaging box 10.
[0017] Working principle: Controller 3 controls the second servo motor 9 to start. The second servo motor 9 drives the first conveyor belt 8 to rotate via the first conveyor roller. The first conveyor belt 8 moves the packaging box 10 on the upper surface. When the first packaging box 10 moves to one end of the second conveyor table 12, the second laser scanning sensor 15 transmits a signal to controller 3. Controller 3 controls the second servo motor 9 to stop and simultaneously controls the third servo motor 14 to start. The third servo motor 14 drives the second conveyor belt 13 to rotate via the second conveyor roller. The second conveyor belt 13 moves the rice ball on the upper surface, causing the first rice ball to fall into the first packaging box 10. Then, the first conveyor belt 8 moves the packaging box 10 again, causing the first packaging box 10 to move to the bottom of the ultrasonic sealer 603. At the same time, the first laser scanning sensor 7 detects that the packaging box 10 has reached the position and transmits a signal to controller 3, causing the second servo motor 9 to stop again. Simultaneously, it controls the electric push rod 601 to start. The piston end of the electric push rod 601 moves the moving plate. The moving plate 602 moves downwards, causing the ultrasonic encapsulator 603 and the encapsulation film 609 to move downwards as well. This allows the ultrasonic encapsulator 603 to press the encapsulation film 609 onto the upper surface of the packaging box 10 and perform ultrasonic welding for encapsulation. After encapsulation, the box can be raised. Simultaneously, the controller 3 starts the first servo motor 613, which drives one of the rotating shafts 605 to rotate. At the same time, through the transmission cooperation of the sprocket 610 and the chain 611, the first servo motor 613 drives the other rotating shaft 605 to rotate. The two rotating shafts 605 drive the unwinding reel 607 and the rewinding reel 608 to rotate respectively. The unwinding reel 607 releases the encapsulation film 609, and the rewinding reel 608 collects the used encapsulation film 609. The unused encapsulation film 609 is moved to the bottom of the ultrasonic encapsulator 603 for the next encapsulation. No operator intervention is required, which helps improve encapsulation efficiency. At the same time, the protective cover 612 prevents operators from accidentally touching the chain 611 or the sprocket 610 and getting injured.
