Technical Field

[0002] In food production, more and more foods are being packaged in small bags for better hygiene and convenience. Therefore, in automated production lines for small bag packaging, it is necessary to pack small bags of food according to a certain quantity or weight. As a result, we have developed a flexible, automated, and highly efficient conveyor belt for the food industry.
[0003] A Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN202211535007.4 discloses a bagged food dispensing device, including a grading conveyor mechanism and a hopper installed on the top and bottom sides of a frame, and a belt conveyor mechanism inclinedly connected between the two. The belt conveyor mechanism has evenly distributed deflector plates, each capable of holding at least one small bag of food between adjacent deflector plates. The belt conveyor mechanism uses the conveyor belt to carry the small bags of food accumulated in the hopper batch by batch away from the hopper and onto the grading conveyor mechanism. The grading conveyor mechanism uses a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and a third conveyor belt connected in sequence... The sequential conveying of the first and fourth conveyor belts allows each batch of small bags of food to be transported out one by one from the fourth conveyor belt. The height of the conveying surface of the first conveyor belt, which is arranged horizontally, is higher than that of the fourth conveyor belt, which is also arranged horizontally. The inclination angle of the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt, which is arranged at an angle, is greater than that of the third conveyor belt, which is also arranged at an angle. However, this equipment has the following problems: First, the height difference separation method in this design has a certain separation effect, but it cannot guarantee the separation of each small package bag.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this invention provides a high-strength, flexible conveyor belt for the food industry, including a feeding structure 1. The lower right corner of the feeding structure 1 abuts against a stepped conveying structure 2. The stepped conveying structure 2 utilizes a stepped structure to create a height difference, which can separate overlapping small bags of food to a certain extent. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the feeding structure 1 by bolts, ensuring a stable connection. A food conveying structure 7 is fixedly connected to the lower front surface of the support plate 3. The food conveying structure 7 is used to transport small bags of food from baskets 10 to the worker's packing point for convenient bagging and packing. A basket conveying structure 8 is located behind the support plate 3 to facilitate the transport of empty baskets 10 to a circulating clamping structure 6 for clamping by an electric clamp 63. The lower end is fixedly connected to the base plate 9 to keep the lower part of the equipment clean and moisture-proof. The upper surface of the base plate 9 is provided with an L-shaped support column 4, and the L-shaped support column 4 is located on the front right side of the food conveying structure 7. The L-shaped support column 4 is a support structure, and a scanning camera 41 is provided at the upper end of the L-shaped support column 4. The algorithm box inside the scanning camera 41 can calculate the number of small bags of food passing through the swing arm 235. A weighing structure 5 is provided in the middle of the L-shaped support column 4. The weighing structure 5 weighs the small bags of food falling into the basket 10. A circulating clamping structure 6 is provided between the food conveying structure 7 and the basket conveying structure 8. The circulating clamping structure 6 is located at the right end of the support plate 3, so that the working trajectory of the electric clamp 63 forms a closed loop, which facilitates continuous clamping of the basket 10.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the lower end of the feeding structure 1 is provided with a fixing plate 12, and the rear end of the fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the support plate 3. The fixing plate 12 mainly serves a supporting function, and its rear end is bolted to the support plate. The upper surface of the fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the feeding cavity 11. Small bags of food are poured in from the upper opening of the feeding cavity 11. The lower right end of the feeding cavity 11 is provided with a feeding port 111, and the left end of the feeding cavity 11 is provided with a push plate 15. The push plate 15 is inverted L-shaped to prevent the small bags from shifting during the process. Food falls into the gap between the push plate 15 and the feeding chamber 11. The left end of the push plate 15 is threadedly connected to the first telescopic rod 14 for easy replacement. The left end of the first telescopic rod 14 passes through the surface of the feeding chamber 11 and is connected to the cylinder 13. The left end of the cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 12. When the cylinder 13 works, it can provide extension force to the first telescopic rod 14, thereby driving the push plate 15 to move left and right, continuously pushing the small bag of food in the feeding chamber 11 through the feeding port 111 onto the horizontal transmission structure 21.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stepped conveyor structure 2 consists of a horizontal conveyor structure 21, two inclined conveyor structures 22, and a component conveyor structure 23 from top to bottom. The upper and lower surfaces of adjacent conveyor structures abut against each other, forming a stepped structure. The height difference can separate overlapping small bags of food to a certain extent. The lower end of the horizontal conveyor structure 21 is provided with an arc-shaped plate 214. The rear end of the arc-shaped plate 214 is fixedly connected to a support plate 3. The upper surface of the arc-shaped plate 214 is symmetrically provided with mounting plates 212 to define the position of the rollers 213. Two rollers 213 are symmetrically provided between the mounting plates 212. The rollers 213 are provided with pressure sensors inside to sense the pressure on the surface of the conveyor belt 211. The outer surfaces of the two rollers 213 are simultaneously fitted with conveyor belts 211. The rotation of the rollers 213 causes the conveyor belts 211 to shift. The middle of the inclined transmission structure 22 is provided with a first conveyor structure 221. T-shaped strips 222 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the first conveyor structure 221. The T-shaped strips are equipped with motors. The motors drive the pusher blocks 223 to move left and right at a uniform speed in the grooves of the first slide 2221. Three first slide grooves 2221 are evenly distributed on the upper part of the surface of the T-shaped strips 222 near the first conveyor structure 221. The pusher blocks 223 are slidably connected in the grooves of the first slide 2221. The lower end of the pusher blocks 223 is provided with a pusher piece 224, which is used to push the overlapping small bags of food left and right to separate them.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 8As shown, the component transmission structure 23 has a second conveying structure 231 in the middle. The lower end of the second conveying structure 231 abuts against a sliding block 232. The rear end of the sliding block 232 is fixedly connected to a support plate 3. The sliding block 232 also has a motor inside, which provides power for the sliding of the second telescopic rod 234. The front part of the upper surface of the sliding block 232 has a second sliding groove 233. The second telescopic rod 234 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 233. The second telescopic rod 234 has a cylinder inside. The operation of the cylinder is controlled by the algorithm box inside the scanning camera 41. The upper end of the second telescopic rod 234 is fixedly connected to a swing arm 235. The swing arm 235 is parallel to the lower surface of the second conveying structure 231 and has a component lever 236. When the small bag of food is shaken... Once the number of arms 235 reaches the preset number in the algorithm box, the algorithm box sends feedback information to the cylinder, causing the cylinder to drive the second telescopic rod 234 to extend and retract downwards. This causes the component paddle 236 at the lower end of the swing arm 235 to abut against the upper surface of the second conveying structure 231. The cylinder then activates the motor inside the sliding block 232, causing the motor to operate. This drives the rocker arm 235 on the second telescopic rod 234 to slide from left to right within the second slide groove 233, pouring the small bags of food from the upper surface of the second conveying structure 231 into the basket 10. Subsequently, the second telescopic rod 234 returns to its original position, and the cylinder and motor stop operating. The horizontal transmission structure 21 has the same structure as the first conveying structure 221 and the second conveying structure 231. This identical structure can reduce factory procurement costs and assembly speed.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor belt 211 consists of a support frame 2111, a rubber layer 2112, an anti-aging layer 2113, and an oil-resistant and wear-resistant layer 2114, arranged from the inside out. Transverse metal strips 21112 are evenly distributed on the surface of the support frame 2111. Spiral metal strips 21111 are wound around the outer circumference of each transverse metal strip 21112, with adjacent spiral metal strips 21111 closely attached to each other. Utilizing the expansion and contraction space of the spiral configuration, the bending performance of the conveyor belt is improved, enhancing its applicability for corner transport. The transverse metal strips provide strong lateral support to the conveyor belt, increasing its load-bearing capacity. The rubber layer 2112 firmly bonds the transverse metal strips 21112 and the spiral metal strips 21111. Anti-aging agents are added to the anti-aging layer 2113 to extend its service life. The oil-resistant and wear-resistant layer 2114 is mainly made of hydrogenated nitrile rubber, which has high oil and wear resistance and is easy to clean.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the rear surface of the support plate 3, from top to bottom, is provided with a horizontal transmission power chamber 31, two inclined transmission power chambers 32, and one component transmission power chamber 33. The upper and lower surfaces of adjacent power chambers abut against each other. Each of the four chambers has a symmetrically arranged No. 1 motor, which is a variable-speed motor. The output shaft of the No. 1 motor passes through the bearing of the support plate 3 and connects to the roller 213. The output power of the No. 1 motor is controlled by a pressure sensor inside the roller 213. When the pressure sensor senses an increase in the pressure value on the surface of the conveyor belt 211, it feeds back information to the No. 1 motor. The gearbox of the No. 1 motor adjusts its output power, changes its rotational speed, and thus changes the transmission rate. Two food conveyor belt power compartments 71 are symmetrically arranged in the middle of the upper surface of the base plate 9, and a second motor is installed inside each compartment. The second motor has the same structure as the first motor, but the second motor is controlled by a pressure sensor inside the roller of the food conveyor belt 74. A control box 34 is located on the front surface of the support plate 3 and below the horizontal transmission structure 21. The control box 34 consists of a touch screen, a power button, and a processor. The touch screen is located on the surface of the control box for easy data setting and visual operation. The processor is located inside the control box and controls the algorithm box inside the scanning camera 41, the cylinder 13, the motor inside the T-shaped strip, the first motor, the second motor, the weight calculator, and other components.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the food conveying structure 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 9, and a stop plate 72 is provided on the left side of the upper surface of the food conveying structure 7. When personnel are not available to pack in time, the baskets 10 can be temporarily placed on it, allowing the baskets 10 to accumulate on the food conveyor belt 74. The right side of the upper surface of the food conveying structure 7 is provided with the food conveyor belt 74, which has the same structure as the horizontal conveying structure 21, and the length of the food conveyor belt 74 is greater than the length of the horizontal conveying structure 21, so as to accommodate more baskets 10. The rear bearing of the food conveyor belt 74 is connected to the No. 2 motor. Two rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the food conveyor belt 74, and the rear bearings of the rollers are connected to the output shaft of the No. 2 motor. A baffle 73 is fixedly connected to the left side of the stop plate 72 to prevent the baskets 10 from falling.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 9As shown, the lower end of the basket transmission structure 8 is symmetrically provided with four support feet 81 for stable support. The lower end of each support foot 81 is fixedly connected to the base plate 9, and the upper end of each support foot 81 is provided with a protective plate 82. The left side of the protective plate 82 is higher than its right side, and the left side is higher than the height of the basket 10 placed on the basket transmission belt 84, in order to prevent the basket 10 from falling off when it moves to the left. The front side of the upper surface of the protective plate 82 is symmetrically provided with basket transmission power chambers 83. The basket transmission power chambers 83 are equipped with a No. 3 motor, which is a variable speed motor. The output power is changed by changing the speed through a gearbox. The rear side of the upper surface of the protective plate 82 is... A basket conveyor belt 84 is provided for transporting empty baskets 10, with the baskets 10 in an inverted state and their handles 101 facing the circulating clamping structure 6. The basket conveyor belt 84 has the same structure as the horizontal conveyor structure 21, and the length of the basket conveyor belt 84 is the same as the length of the food conveyor belt 74. The front bearing of the basket conveyor belt 84 is connected to a No. 3 motor. Two rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the basket conveyor belt 84. The rear bearings of the rollers are connected to the output shaft of the No. 3 motor. A pressure sensor is provided inside the rollers of the basket conveyor belt 84. When the pressure increases, it feeds back information to the gearbox of the No. 3 motor, causing the output power to decrease and the transmission speed to slow down, and vice versa.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the weighing structure 5 has a connecting sleeve 55 on its left end. An L-shaped support column 4 is fitted onto the inner surface of the connecting sleeve 55. For a more stable connection, bolts are used to secure the two together. A rectangular block 51 is fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting sleeve 55. The rectangular block 51 contains a weight calculator and a motor. The weight calculator controls the motor and the positioner at point A. An alarm 52 is located on the front surface of the rectangular block 51. When the weight of the basket 10 exceeds the preset range of the weight calculator, the weight calculator sends feedback to the alarm 52, triggering an audible and visual alarm to alert the worker. The worker then needs to remove the basket 10 with the abnormal weight. 0, and press the alarm 52 by hand to clear the alarm. The right side of the rectangular block 51 is hinged to the weighing plate 54. The weighing plate 54 is equipped with a weighing sensor. The weighing sensor transmits the weighing information of the basket 10 to the weight calculator. When the weighing information reaches the preset range of the weight calculator, the weight calculator controls the motor inside the rectangular block 51 to work, so that the weighing plate 54 hinged to the rectangular block 51 flips down, so that the basket 10 on the weighing plate 54 falls down onto the food conveyor belt 74 under the support of the electric gripper 63. The upper surface of the weighing plate 54 abuts against the basket 10. The right end of the basket 10 is equipped with a handle 101 to facilitate the electric gripper 63 to hold it firmly.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 11As shown, the circular clamping structure 6 has symmetrically arranged electric columns 61 on both sides to support the annular track 62. Each electric column 61 has a groove 611 in its center, allowing the annular track 62 to slide freely within it. The annular track 62 is arranged between the electric columns 61, and the annular track 62 is fixedly connected to the surfaces of the grooves 611 that are close to each other. An electric motor is installed inside the annular track 62, driving the electric clamp 63 to move on the annular track 62. Three positioners are installed on the annular track 62, located at points A, B, and C respectively. The positions of the three positioners are related to the heights of the weighing structure 5, the food conveying structure 7, the basket conveying structure 8, and the basket 10, respectively. The three positioners are linked to the motors inside the electric clamps 63. The positioner at point A receives feedback from the weight calculator. The electric clamps 63 are evenly distributed on the surface of the annular track 62. Each electric clamp 63 has a motor inside, and the motor receives signals from the three positioners, enabling automatic release at the positions of the three positioners. The electric clamp 63 clamps the handle 101 at the end away from the annular track 62. When the load cell transmits the weight of the basket 10 to reach the preset range of the weight calculator, the weight calculator feeds back information to the locator at point A, causing the locator at point A to stop working. Simultaneously, the weighing plate 54, hinged to the rectangular block 51, flips downwards, and the electric clamp 63 at point A clamps the basket 10 on the weighing plate 54 and resumes downward movement. When the electric clamp 63 reaches the locator at point B, the electric clamp... The electric gripper 63 automatically releases its grip on the basket 10, allowing the basket 10 containing small bags of food to fall smoothly onto the right side of the upper surface of the food conveyor belt 74. Then, the electric gripper 63 remains in the released state and reaches the positioner at point C. The electric gripper 63 then automatically clamps, which can hold the handle 101 of the empty basket 10 located on the basket conveyor belt 84 and drive the empty basket 10 to move along the circular track 62 to the positioner at point A. At this time, the lower surface of the empty basket 10 just abuts against the weighing plate 54, and the cycle repeats.
[0048] Working process: Preparation: The touch screen of control box 34 needs to be preset with the quantity and total weight of the small bags of food to be sold. The small bags of food to be sorted are poured into the feeding chamber 11. Then, the power button is pressed and the equipment starts working. If only the quantity or total weight of the small bags of food to be sold is needed during production, only one value needs to be set, and the other value that is not needed is entered as 0.
[0049] When the feeding structure 1 is activated, the cylinder 13 causes the first telescopic rod 14 to extend and retract, thereby driving the push plate 15 to move left and right, continuously pushing the small bag of food in the feeding chamber 11 through the feeding port 111 onto the horizontal transmission structure 21.
[0050] In the stepped conveyor structure 2, motor 1 operates, driving the roller 213 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 211 to shift and transport small bags of food. When a small bag of food falls onto the horizontal conveyor structure 21, the pressure sensor inside the roller 213 senses an increase in pressure on the surface of the conveyor belt 211, and sends feedback to motor 1. The gearbox of motor 1 adjusts its output power and changes its rotation speed, thereby increasing the conveying rate. When a small bag of food falls onto the inclined conveyor structure 22, the motor inside the T-shaped bar drives the paddle 223 to move left and right at a uniform speed within the groove of the first slide 2221, pushing the overlapping small bags of food to separate them. When a small bag of food falls onto the component conveyor structure 23, the internal calculation of the scanning camera 41... The algorithm box starts calculating the number of small bags of food passing through the swing arm 235. When the number reaches the preset number of small bags of food to be sold in a whole package, the algorithm box feeds back information to the cylinder inside the second telescopic rod 234, causing the cylinder to drive the second telescopic rod 234 to extend and retract downwards. This causes the weight plate 236 at the lower end of the swing arm 235 to abut against the upper surface of the second conveying structure 231. The cylinder, in conjunction with the motor inside the sliding block 232, causes the motor to work, thereby driving the rocker arm 235 on the second telescopic rod 234 to slide from left to right in the groove of the second slide 233, sweeping the small bags of food on the upper surface of the second conveying structure 231 into the basket 10 located on the weighing plate 54. Then the second telescopic rod 234 resets, and the cylinder and motor stop working.
[0051] The weighing structure 5 and the weighing plate 54 transmit the weighing information of the basket 10 to the weight calculator inside the rectangular block 51. When the weighing information reaches the preset total weight of the packaged small bags of food, the weight calculator controls the motor inside the rectangular block 51 to work, causing the weighing plate 54, which is hinged to the rectangular block 51, to flip down. At the same time, the weight calculator feeds back information to the positioner at point A on the circular track 62, causing the positioner at point A to stop working. The electric gripper 63 at position A clamps the basket 10 on the weighing plate 54 and resumes downward movement. When the weighing information of the basket 10 exceeds the preset total weight of the packaged small bags of food, the weight calculator feeds back information to the alarm 52, which sounds and lights an alarm to remind the worker to handle the situation. The worker needs to remove the basket 10 with the abnormal weight and press the alarm 52 by hand to deactivate the alarm.
[0052] The cyclic clamping structure 6, after leaving the positioner at point A, the electric clamp 63 clamps the basket 10 containing small bags of food and resumes downward movement. When the electric clamp 63 reaches the positioner at point B, it automatically releases its grip on the basket 10, allowing the basket 10 containing small bags of food to fall smoothly onto the right side of the upper surface of the food conveyor belt 74 and be transported by the food conveyor belt 74 to the worker's packaging area. Subsequently, the electric clamp 63 remains in the released state and reaches the positioner at point C, where it automatically clamps. It can clamp the handle 101 of the empty basket 10 located on the basket conveyor belt 84 and drive the empty basket 10 to run along the circular track 62 back to the positioner at point A. At this time, the lower surface of the empty basket 10 just abuts against the weighing plate 54, and the cycle repeats.
