Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of protein powder production technology, specifically to an automated protein powder packaging production line. Background Technology

[0002] High-concentration protein powder is a nutritional supplement with a high protein content, typically above 80%, while having relatively low carbohydrate and fat content. It primarily comes from animal and plant proteins, such as whey protein and soy protein. These proteins are rich in amino acids, with the content and ratio of essential amino acids closely resembling human needs, thus aiding in the body's protein synthesis.

[0003] As a high-value-added nutritional supplement, high-concentration protein powder requires packaging that meets stringent requirements, including moisture protection, oxidation prevention, clumping prevention, high cleanliness, and precise measurement. Currently, most production lines use vacuum suction cup transfer for packaging. While this method has achieved basic automation, several technical bottlenecks still exist in actual production lines, affecting stability and compatibility. During the suction transfer process, poor adsorption can easily lead to can displacement or dropping. Collisions and vibrations during the fall are unavoidable, resulting in scratches on the bottle, shaking of the contents, and even product breakage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above deficiencies, this invention provides an automated protein powder packaging production line to solve the problem of packaging protein powder cans.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated protein powder packaging production line, including Chain conveyor, used for continuous conveying of tanks; The material handling platform is connected to the rear end of the chain conveyor; The pushing assembly is installed on the chain conveyor and is used to push the tanks on the chain conveyor to the sorting platform in sequence; The flip-up plate, as a set, is movably installed inside the material handling platform; The flipping assembly, installed on the outside of the material handling platform, is used to drive a set of flipping plates to move relative to each other; The adsorption assembly is installed above the material handling platform and is used to deliver the tanks on the material handling platform to the box below. A roller conveyor is located below the material handling platform and is used for continuous conveying of boxes; The lifting assembly, installed inside the roller conveyor, is used to lift the box to the bottom of the material handling platform.

[0006] Furthermore, three baffles are installed on the material handling platform. The front end of the right baffle is fixed to the chain conveyor. The baffles serve to block the tanks on the material handling platform, and the right baffles can also block the tanks on the chain conveyor, making it easier for the pushing component to push the material.

[0007] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a pneumatic actuator unit one, installed at the front end of the chain conveyor; a baffle plate, movably installed on the chain conveyor and driven by the pneumatic actuator unit one; a pneumatic actuator unit two, installed at the front end of the chain conveyor and positioned opposite the material handling platform; a pushing plate, installed on the driving end of the pneumatic actuator unit two and in contact with the baffle plate; an infrared sensor counter, installed at the front end of the chain conveyor and located above the pushing plate; a pneumatic actuator unit three, installed at the bottom rear end of the chain conveyor; and a side baffle plate, movably inserted into the bottom rear end of the chain conveyor and driven by the pneumatic actuator unit three. The pneumatic actuator unit one drives the baffle plate to limit the cans on the chain conveyor. Then, the pneumatic actuator unit three drives the side baffle plate to retract. Finally, the pneumatic actuator unit two pushes the cans on the chain conveyor onto the material handling platform via the pushing plate. The above actions are repeated to push multiple sets of cans.

[0008] Furthermore, the chain conveyor has guide holes corresponding to the side baffles to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the side baffles.

[0009] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a pneumatic actuator four, installed on the outside of the material handling platform; a push plate, installed on the bottom drive end of the pneumatic actuator four; a set of guide rods, movably inserted into both sides of the material handling platform, and connected to the push plate at their bottoms respectively; a set of racks, located at the bottom of a set of guide rods; a set of rotating shafts, movably inserted into the material handling platform and connected to a set of flipping plates; a set of gears, connected to the outer end of a set of rotating shafts and meshing with corresponding racks respectively; and two sets of box support plates, connected around the bottom of the material handling platform. The telescopic end of the pneumatic actuator four extends, driving a set of guide rods to descend via the push plate, and through the meshing of the gears and racks, driving a set of rotating shafts and a set of flipping plates to move relative to each other and open. Together with the two sets of box support plates at the bottom, the box can be opened to facilitate the loading of the tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the adsorption assembly includes a top plate fixed above the material handling platform; a pneumatic actuator five mounted on the top plate; a mounting frame movably mounted on the bottom of the top plate and driven by the pneumatic actuator five; several sets of vacuum suction cups mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame; a set of pneumatic actuator six mounted opposite each other on both ends of the mounting frame; and a set of clamping side plates mounted on the driving ends of the opposite pneumatic actuator six. The telescopic end of the pneumatic actuator five extends, causing the mounting frame to descend and adsorb the top of the tank through several sets of vacuum suction cups. Simultaneously, the telescopic end of a set of pneumatic actuator six retracts, causing a set of clamping side plates to clamp the tank. The flipping assembly drives a set of flipping plates to move relative to each other and open, cooperating with the adsorption assembly to send the tank on the material handling platform into the box below, ensuring vertical packing stability and improving packing quality.

[0011] Furthermore, a set of clamping side plates are each equipped with a rubber buffer pad corresponding to the tank body to prevent squeezing or scratching of the tank body.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a pneumatic actuator unit six, installed at the rear end of the roller conveyor; a positioning plate, movably installed on the roller conveyor, and driven at its rear end by the pneumatic actuator unit six; a pneumatic actuator unit seven, installed at the rear end of the roller conveyor, located to the right of the pneumatic actuator unit six; a lifting frame, movably embedded in the roller conveyor, and driven to rise and fall at its rear end by the pneumatic actuator unit seven; and a set of infrared sensors, installed at the front end of the roller conveyor, corresponding to the positions of the positioning plate and the lifting frame respectively. The pneumatic actuator unit six first drives the positioning plate to position the box on the roller conveyor. Then, the telescopic end of the pneumatic actuator unit seven extends, driving the lifting frame to rise and lifting the box to the bottom of the material handling platform for easy packing.

[0013] Furthermore, a set of pneumatic actuators is movably mounted on the lifting frame. A set of opposing baffles is hinged to the right end of the lifting frame, and the rear ends of the opposing baffles are driven to deflect by the corresponding pneumatic actuators. When the box on the roller conveyor moves to the lifting frame, the opposing baffles can limit the box. After the box is loaded, the telescopic ends of the pneumatic actuators retract synchronously, driving the baffles to open, which, in conjunction with the roller conveyor, facilitates the subsequent box sealing process.

[0014] This invention provides an automated protein powder packaging production line with the following advantages: by placing a roller conveyor below a sorting platform, a lifting component is used to lift the cans to the bottom of the sorting platform and open the cans, a pushing component pushes the cans on the chain conveyor sequentially onto the sorting platform, and a flipping component, in conjunction with an adsorption component, sends the cans on the sorting platform to the lower cans, ensuring vertical packing stability, improving packing quality, preventing cans from shifting or falling during transport, optimizing existing packing processes, and improving packing efficiency.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-10 As shown: This application embodiment provides an automatic protein powder packaging production line, including a chain conveyor 1 for continuously conveying cans; a sorting platform 2 connected to the rear end of the chain conveyor 1; a pushing assembly 3 installed on the chain conveyor 1 and used to push the cans on the chain conveyor 1 sequentially onto the sorting platform 2; a set of tilting plates 4 movably installed inside the sorting platform 2; a tilting assembly 5 installed on the outside of the sorting platform 2 and used to drive the set of tilting plates 4 to move relative to each other; an adsorption assembly 6 installed above the sorting platform 2 and used to send the cans on the sorting platform 2 to the lower box; a roller conveyor 7 located below the sorting platform 2 and used for continuously conveying the box; and a lifting assembly 8 installed inside the roller conveyor 7 and used to lift the box to the bottom of the sorting platform 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the roller conveyor 7 is placed below the sorting platform 2. After the carton is supported by the carton support mechanism, it is continuously transported to the bottom of the sorting platform 2 by the roller conveyor 7. The lifting component 8 is used to lift the carton to the bottom of the sorting platform 2 and open the carton to facilitate can packing. The chain conveyor 1 is used to continuously transport the cans. The pushing component 3 pushes the cans on the chain conveyor 1 to the sorting platform 2 in sequence. Then, the adsorption component 6 adsorbs the cans on the sorting platform 2. The flipping component 5 drives a set of flipping plates 4 to move relative to each other and open. Together with the adsorption component 6, the cans on the sorting platform 2 are sent to the carton below, ensuring the stability of vertical packing, improving the packing quality, preventing the cans from shifting or falling during the transfer process, optimizing the existing packing process, and improving packing efficiency.

[0028] In some embodiments, three baffles 21 are installed on the material handling platform 2, with the front end of the right baffle 21 fixed to the chain conveyor 1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the baffle 21 serves to block the tanks on the material handling platform 2, and the right baffle 21 can also block the tanks on the chain conveyor 1, making it easier for the pushing assembly 3 to push the material.

[0029] In some embodiments, the pushing assembly 3 includes a pneumatic actuator 31 installed at the front end of the chain conveyor 1; a baffle plate 32 movably installed on the chain conveyor 1 and driven by the pneumatic actuator 31; a pneumatic actuator 33 installed at the front end of the chain conveyor 1 and positioned opposite to the material handling platform 2; a pushing plate 34 installed on the driving end of the pneumatic actuator 33 and in contact with the baffle plate 32; an infrared sensor counter 35 installed at the front end of the chain conveyor 1 and located above the pushing plate 34; a pneumatic actuator 36 installed at the bottom rear end of the chain conveyor 1; and a side baffle plate 37 movably inserted into the bottom rear end of the chain conveyor 1 and driven by the pneumatic actuator 36.

[0030] like Figure 3 — Figure 5 As shown, pneumatic actuator 1 31, pneumatic actuator 2 33 and pneumatic actuator 36 are respectively equipped with cylinders. Infrared sensor counter 35 is used to detect the number of tanks passing through and transmit the signal to the external controller. When pushing the material, the controller first drives the baffle plate 32 through pneumatic actuator 1 31 to limit the tanks on the chain conveyor 1. Then, pneumatic actuator 36 drives the side baffle plate 37 to retract. Finally, pneumatic actuator 2 33 pushes the tanks on the chain conveyor 1 to the material handling platform 2 through the pusher plate 34. The above actions are repeated to realize the pushing of multiple sets of tanks.

[0031] In some embodiments, the chain conveyor 1 has a guide hole 371 corresponding to the side baffle 37 to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the side baffle 37.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the pneumatic actuator 4 51 uses a cylinder. When it is flipped, the telescopic end of the pneumatic actuator 4 51 extends, and through the push plate 52, it drives a set of guide rods 53 to descend. Through the meshing of gears 56 and racks 54, it drives a set of rotating shafts 55 and a set of flipping plates 4 to move relative to each other and open. With the cooperation of the two sets of box support plates 57 at the bottom, the box can be opened to facilitate the loading of the tank.

[0034] In some embodiments, the adsorption assembly 6 includes a top plate 61, which is fixed above the material handling platform 2 by an external connecting frame; a pneumatic actuator 62, which is mounted on the top plate 61; a mounting frame 63, which is movably mounted on the bottom of the top plate 61 and driven by the pneumatic actuator 62; several vacuum suction cups 64, which are mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 63; a group of pneumatic actuators 65, which are mounted opposite each other on both ends of the mounting frame 63; and a group of clamping side plates 66, which are respectively mounted on the driving ends opposite to the pneumatic actuators 65.

[0035] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, pneumatic actuator 62 and pneumatic actuator 65 are respectively equipped with cylinders. After the pushing assembly 3 pushes the cans on the chain conveyor 1 to the sorting platform 2 in sequence, the telescopic end of pneumatic actuator 62 extends, driving the mounting frame 63 to descend, and adsorbing the top of the can through several sets of vacuum suction cups 64. At the same time, the telescopic end of a set of pneumatic actuators 65 retracts synchronously, driving a set of clamping side plates 66 to clamp the can. The flipping assembly 5 drives a set of flipping plates 4 to move relative to each other and open, and together with the adsorption assembly 6, sends the cans on the sorting platform 2 to the box below, ensuring the stability of vertical packing and improving the packing quality.

[0036] In some embodiments, a set of clamping side plates 66 are respectively installed on the inner side of the tank with rubber buffer pads 661 corresponding to the tank body to prevent the tank body from being squeezed or scratched.

[0037] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 8 includes a pneumatic actuator 81 installed at the rear end of the roller conveyor 7; a positioning plate 82 movably installed on the roller conveyor 7, and driven at its rear end by the pneumatic actuator 81; a pneumatic actuator 83 installed at the rear end of the roller conveyor 7, located to the right of the pneumatic actuator 81; a lifting frame 84 movably embedded in the roller conveyor 7, and driven to rise and fall at its rear end by the pneumatic actuator 83; and a set of infrared sensors 85 installed at the front end of the roller conveyor 7, corresponding to the positions of the positioning plate 82 and the lifting frame 84 respectively.

[0038] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, pneumatic actuator 6 81 and pneumatic actuator 7 83 are respectively equipped with cylinders. A set of infrared sensors 85 are used to detect the box at the positioning plate 82 and the lifting frame 84 respectively. The lifting frame 84 is embedded in the roller conveyor 7 and is staggered with the rollers in the roller conveyor 7 to facilitate lifting and lowering the box. When lifting, pneumatic actuator 6 81 first drives the positioning plate 82 to position the box on the roller conveyor 7. Then, the telescopic end of pneumatic actuator 7 83 extends, driving the lifting frame 84 to rise and lift the box to the bottom of the material handling platform 2 for easy boxing.

[0039] In some embodiments, a set of pneumatic actuators 841 are movably mounted on the lifting frame 84. A set of opposing baffles 842 are hinged to the right end of the lifting frame 84, and the rear ends of the set of opposing baffles 842 are driven to deflect by the corresponding pneumatic actuators 841. The set of pneumatic actuators 841 adopts synchronous cylinders. When the box on the roller conveyor 7 moves to the lifting frame 84, the set of opposing baffles 842 can limit the box. After the box is packed, the telescopic ends of the set of pneumatic actuators 841 retract synchronously, driving the set of baffles 842 to open, which, together with the roller conveyor 7, facilitates the subsequent box sealing process.
