Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pre-prepared food production technology, and in particular to a pre-prepared food production packaging and testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Pre-prepared meals, also known as pre-cooked foods, generally refer to semi-finished or finished products made from various agricultural, livestock, poultry, and aquatic products as raw materials, along with seasonings and other auxiliary ingredients, through pre-selection, preparation, and other processes. Pre-prepared meals typically require storage or transportation under cold chain conditions and are intended for consumers or food service providers to simply heat or cook before consumption.

[0003] Modern standardized pre-prepared food packaging assembly lines employ a method where packaging boxes are placed on a conveyor. As the conveyor moves, the boxes pass sequentially through feeding and sealing stations, adding the processed pre-prepared food into the boxes and sealing the top of the boxes with sealing film. Currently, pre-prepared food packaging relies on manual visual inspection, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors, affecting the accuracy of the results. Furthermore, manual inspection makes it inconvenient to count the inspected products, hindering the assessment of the overall packaging effect and thus impeding its widespread adoption.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an automated pre-prepared food production, packaging, and testing device has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Please see Figs. 1 to 4This invention provides a pre-prepared food production and packaging inspection device, comprising: a base 1, an inspection mechanism, and a robotic arm assembly 7. An inspection platform 101 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the base 1. The inspection mechanism includes an infrared counting probe 3 and a visual inspection camera 5, both positioned above the base 1. The robotic arm assembly 7 is located on one side of the base 1. A cavity is pre-formed inside the base 1, and a sliding door 102 is installed on one side of the cavity. A conveyor belt 2 is installed on one side of the upper surface of the base 1, and two placement plates 201 are arranged in parallel on the conveyor belt 2. A positioning shaft A4 is positioned above the conveyor belt 2, and a connector A401 is installed on the positioning shaft A4. An infrared counting probe 3 is connected to one side of the connector A401. A positioning shaft A4 is positioned above the inspection platform 101. Positioning axis B6, and a connector B601 is installed on positioning axis B6, and a vision inspection camera 5 is connected to one side of connector B601. The robotic arm assembly 7 includes a base 701, and a turntable 702 is set on the upper end of the base 701. The robotic arm assembly 7 also includes a robotic arm 703, and the robotic arm 703 is installed on the upper end of the turntable 702. A robotic claw 704 is installed on the robotic arm 703. A diversion assembly 8 is set inside the base 1, and one end of the diversion assembly 8 extends from the inside of the base 1 to the outside. The diversion assembly 8 includes a diversion belt A801, a diversion belt B802 and a diversion belt C803, and the diversion belts A801, B802 and C803 are designed in a stepped manner from top to bottom. A control box 9 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1, and a warning light 901 is preset on the top of the control box 9. Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0038] First, install the base 1 in the designated position, and at the same time install the robotic arm component 7 in the designated position;

[0039] Secondly, according to the size of the product, the infrared counting probe 3 is moved by the connector A401 on the positioning axis A4, and the visual inspection camera 5 is moved by the connector B601 on the positioning axis B6 as required, thereby moving the infrared counting probe 3 and the visual inspection camera 5 to the designated position.

[0040] Then, the product to be tested is placed on the placement plate 201, and the conveyor belt 2 is started at the same time to transport the product to the designated position. During the transport, the infrared counting probe 3 counts the products to be tested, which makes it easier for the staff to calculate the overall packaging effect of the product later.

[0041] Finally, the robotic gripper 704 moves to the designated position under the action of the turntable 702 and the robotic arm 703, picks up the product to be inspected and places it on the inspection table 101, and inspects the packaging of the product through the vision inspection camera 5.

Moreover, this design makes it easier for staff to calculate the overall pass rate of the products, which is conducive to its widespread use. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0044] First, when the product inspection is completed, the mechanical gripper 704 picks up the product and places it onto the diversion component 8;

[0045] Secondly, during the grabbing process, the products that have completed the inspection are grabbed onto the corresponding diversion belts A801, B802, and C803 based on the inspection results, thereby achieving the classification function. Then, the inspected products are classified and transported to the designated location, which facilitates the staff to carry out subsequent processing procedures on the inspected products.

[0046] This design allows the diversion belts A801, B802, and C803 in the diversion component 8 to divert and transport the tested products according to the test results, thereby classifying the tested products and facilitating subsequent processing by staff, further demonstrating the practicality of this device. Specific Implementation Example 3:

[0048] During the product testing and conveying process, the control box 9 is used to integrate the control of the device with PLC, which is convenient for the staff to operate and demonstrates the degree of automation of the device. During the product testing and conveying process, the warning light 901 is designed to remind the staff. When the device malfunctions during operation, the warning light 901 can issue an alarm to remind the staff, so that the staff can promptly test and maintain the device to ensure the normal operation of the product testing process.
