Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of edible fungi packaging equipment technology, and specifically discloses an automatic neat boxing device for deer antler mushrooms. Background Technology

[0002] During processing, deer antler mushrooms typically undergo drying to extend their shelf life, followed by rehydration before packing to increase their resilience and reduce the risk of breakage in subsequent steps. After rehydration, the deer antler mushrooms are ready for packing.

[0003] Currently, the existing technology mainly employs two methods for packing rehydrated deer antler mushrooms. The first method involves directly discharging and packing the mushrooms using a simple hopper. For example, utility model patent application number 202222287554.7 discloses a mushroom packing machine with a lifting structure, which mechanizes the packing process and increases packing speed through the use of lifting and pushing devices. However, this approach relies on the basic idea of ​​directly dropping or pushing the mushrooms into the box. The mushrooms fall randomly and at scattered points, resulting in a chaotic stacking inside the box. Because deer antler mushrooms have thin caps and long stems, this chaotic stacking easily leads to mechanical damage during subsequent storage, transportation, and handling due to mutual compression and collisions, causing cap breakage and stem breakage, severely affecting the product's appearance and commercial value.

[0004] Another method involves manual arrangement. During the packing process, workers arrange the rehydrated mushrooms, one by one or row by row, so that they face the same direction before gently placing them into the designated sections of the cardboard box. While manual labor ensures neatness after packing and effectively reduces damage during transport, it has significant drawbacks: firstly, manual labor is extremely inefficient and cannot meet the demands of large-scale production; secondly, repetitive labor can easily lead to worker fatigue, and direct contact with dried mushrooms may pose hygiene risks, hindering clean packaging.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the technical problems and shortcomings of the prior art, such as "direct discharge from the hopper leading to mess and damage" and "low efficiency of manual placement", this application proposes a device that can automatically and neatly arrange and pack deer antler mushrooms after they have been rehydrated. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic and neat boxing device for deer antler mushrooms, so as to realize the mechanized and automatic neat boxing operation of deer antler mushrooms, thereby solving the problems of easy compression damage and breakage during subsequent storage, transportation and handling of deer antler mushrooms after messy boxing.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: An automatic and neatly packed boxing device for deer antler mushrooms includes a storage bin, a rotating drum, multiple material feeding plates, an air-blowing feeding unit, a receiving and guiding unit, and a carton conveying mechanism. Wherein: The storage bin is used to receive and hold deer antler mushrooms transported from the dried mushroom conveyor. A rotating drum is rotatably mounted on one side of the opening of the storage bin and is connected to a power device that drives its rotation. Multiple feeding plates are fixed on the drum surface of the rotating drum in a circular array. Each feeding plate has multiple combing slots arranged in rows on its outer edge. The width of the combing slots is between the diameter of the mushroom stem and the diameter of the mushroom cap. An air-blowing feeding unit is located on the unloading side of the rotating drum and is used to blow the deer antler mushroom stuck in the comb slot from the feeding plate. The material receiving and guiding unit includes a material discharge guide chute that can be switched between a horizontal state and an upward tilting state. When the material discharge guide chute is in the horizontal state, it is located below the unloading side of the material ejector plate and is used to receive the blown-down deer antler mushrooms. When the material discharge guide chute is in the upward tilting state, it guides the deer antler mushrooms to slide down into the cardboard box below. A carton conveying mechanism is located below the receiving and guiding unit and is used to convey the cartons sequentially to the unloading station.

[0008] As a further feature of the above scheme, the air-blowing feeding unit includes a high-pressure air source, an air jet pipe connected to the high-pressure air source, and a row of high-pressure air nozzles disposed on the air jet pipe; each of the high-pressure air nozzles is provided with a solenoid valve controlled by a controller at the connection between it and the air jet pipe; the row of high-pressure air nozzles is respectively aligned with the comb slots on the topmost material feeding plate.

[0009] As a further feature of the above solution, a detection camera is also included, which is fixedly installed on the top of the storage hopper. The lens of the detection camera is set towards the material feeding plate that is rotated out from the storage hopper, and is used to photograph the distribution of the antler mushrooms on the material feeding plate. The controller actively controls the opening or closing of the solenoid valve at the corresponding position according to the shooting results of the detection camera.

[0010] As a further feature of the above solution, the receiving and guiding unit also includes a fixed mounting bracket. The end of the unloading guide groove is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket via a rotating shaft. The mounting bracket is provided with a state switching component that drives the unloading guide groove to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0011] As a further feature of the above solution, the state switching component includes a servo electric cylinder fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, a rack mounted on the telescopic shaft of the servo electric cylinder, and a gear fixed on the rotating shaft and meshing with the rack; the servo electric cylinder drives the rack to reciprocate, thereby switching the unloading guide chute between a horizontal state and an upward tilting state.

[0012] As a further feature of the above scheme, the comb card slot is flared with a wider outer edge and a narrower inner edge, and the inner end slot width of the comb card slot is set between 5 and 8 mm.

[0013] As a further feature of the above solution, a swaying and evenly distributing mechanism is also included at the unloading station. The swaying and evenly distributing mechanism includes a lifting frame, a lifting electric cylinder, a U-shaped frame, a cam motor, and a cam block. The lifting electric cylinder is fixedly installed and used to drive the lifting frame to move up and down. The U-shaped frame is elastically connected to the lifting frame and used to clamp the cardboard box at the unloading station. The cam motor is installed on the lifting frame and used to drive the cam block to rotate, thereby pushing the U-shaped frame to reciprocate back and forth to evenly distribute the deer antler mushrooms in the cardboard box.

[0014] As a further provision of the above scheme, an impact mechanism is provided on the bottom surface of the storage bin; the impact mechanism includes a column frame fixed to the bottom surface of the storage bin, a top impact column inserted in the column frame with its top end acting on the bottom surface of the storage bin, the lower ends of all the top impact columns are connected to an end plate, and a second spring is provided between the end plate and the column frame; a pressing frame is fixed on the end plate, a shaft with a power motor connected to one end is provided in the pressing frame, a pressing wheel acting on the pressing frame is provided on the shaft, and the outer contour of the pressing wheel is an Archimedean spiral.

[0015] As a further feature of the above scheme, a rectangular opening is provided on the bottom surface of the storage bin, and a taut elastic diaphragm is fixed in the rectangular opening. The impact column reciprocates and impacts the elastic diaphragm under the combined action of the pressure wheel and the second spring.

[0016] As a further feature of the above scheme, the storage bin is provided with uprights on both sides of the opening end, the drum is rotatably mounted between the two uprights, and the power unit is located on one of the uprights.

[0017] In the operation of the automatic neat packing device for deer antler mushrooms disclosed in this invention, after drying and rehydration treatment, the deer antler mushrooms are sent into the storage bin by the dried mushroom conveying mechanism. At the same time, in order to prevent the mushrooms at the bottom of the storage bin from being too compacted, the pressing wheel in the impact mechanism below periodically impacts the elastic diaphragm with the top impact column, gently tossing the deer antler mushrooms at the bottom of the bin up, keeping the material loose and convenient for subsequent scooping by the feeding plate.

[0018] The drum rotates counterclockwise under the power of the motor, and the feeding plates fixed to the drum surface move sequentially upwards from the bottom of the storage bin. Each feeding plate has a row of combing slots, the width of which is between the diameter of the mushroom stem and the diameter of the cap. As the feeding plate flips the messy mushroom material upwards, the mushroom stems easily slide into the slots due to gravity and the flipping motion, while the flat mushroom caps are stuck on the outside of the slots and cannot pass through. In this way, each combing slot eventually catches a mushroom, and all the caught mushrooms maintain a neat posture with the cap facing upwards and the stem downwards. Excess mushroom material will naturally slide back into the bin, waiting for the next scoop.

[0019] As the feeding plate continues to rotate to the top, the detection camera takes a picture to identify which slots are not covered with mushrooms. The controller then controls the air-blowing feeding unit to blow the mushrooms down. At this point, a row of high-pressure air nozzles on the air-blowing feeding unit aligns with the slots of the feeding card. Based on the camera's identification, the controller only opens the solenoid valves corresponding to the slots with mushrooms. The high-pressure airflow blows from the back of the slot forward, smoothly blowing the mushrooms down into the feeding guide chute. The feeding guide chute is now horizontal, and the mushrooms inside are neatly arranged in a row.

[0020] Next, the servo electric cylinder drives the front end of the feeding guide chute to lift upward through the rack and gear, and the feeding guide chute becomes inclined. After the feeding guide chute is inclined, on the one hand, it makes room for the feeding plate to continue to rotate, and on the other hand, it uses gravity to make the deer antler mushrooms in the guide chute slide backward, and fall into the carton segmentation area that has been sent directly below by the second conveyor belt, thus completing the neat packing of the deer antler mushrooms.

[0021] When the mushrooms inside the cardboard box are not piled up evenly, the shaking mechanism clamps the sides of the box and gently shakes it back and forth to allow the mushrooms to spread out naturally. The entire automatic mushroom packing device operates in this cycle, thus achieving fully automated operation from messy piles to neatly packed boxes.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The automatic and neat packing device for deer antler mushrooms disclosed in this invention achieves automatic arrangement and neat packing of dried and rehydrated deer antler mushrooms through the coordinated operation of a material feeding plate with combing slots on a rotating drum, an air-blowing feeding unit, an tiltable feeding guide chute, and a carton conveying mechanism. This effectively solves the problems of messy and damaged boxes caused by direct discharge from the hopper in the prior art, as well as the low efficiency of manual placement. It has excellent results in high work efficiency and neat packing during the packing process of deer antler mushrooms.

[0023] This invention combines a "directed arrangement of material-dispensing plates and slots" with a "high-pressure air-blowing unloading + tiltable guide trough sliding" mechanism. The material-dispensing plates utilize the difference in shape between the thin stems and flat caps of *Hylocereus undatus* mushrooms. During the upward flipping process, the stems naturally slide into the slots, while the caps are secured to the outside, automatically arranging the mushrooms in a uniform posture with caps facing upwards and stems downwards. Subsequently, high-pressure airflow smoothly blows the mushrooms from the back of the slots into the horizontal unloading guide trough. After the guide trough tilts, gravity causes the mushrooms to slide neatly into the box. The entire process involves no rigid clamping or impact, and combined with pre-moistening treatment, it greatly reduces the risk of damage to the dried mushrooms and achieves neat packaging of *Hylocereus undatus* mushrooms.

[0024] The invention further includes a detection camera that takes pictures of the mushrooms hanging on the feeding plate before it rotates to the top. The controller only opens the solenoid valve corresponding to the mushroom slot to blow air, avoiding ineffective blowing and saving air source energy. At the same time, the actual number of mushrooms hanging on each feeding plate can be counted based on the picture results, providing data support for subsequent packing quantity control, thus improving the intelligence level and operating economy of the device.

[0025] The invention also adds an impact mechanism at the bottom of the storage bin. The impact column is driven by an Archimedes spiral pressure wheel to periodically impact the elastic diaphragm, throwing the mushrooms at the bottom of the bin upwards, keeping the material loose and improving the success rate of hanging mushrooms on the feeding plate. At the same time, a shaking and even material distribution mechanism is set at the corresponding position of the feeding guide chute. After the mushrooms fall into the cardboard box, the cardboard box is clamped by a U-shaped frame and shaken back and forth, so that the mushrooms in the box are naturally even and even, further ensuring the neatness of the finished product packaging.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the appendix... Figures 1-9 This application will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments. Example 1

[0030] Example 1 discloses an automatic neat packing device for deer antler mushrooms, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body of the device includes a dried mushroom conveying mechanism 10, a dried mushroom combing mechanism 20, a cardboard box conveying mechanism 30, an air-blowing receiving and guiding mechanism 40, and a controller 50 with a built-in processing module.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the dried mushroom combing mechanism 20 includes a storage bin 21 with an opening on one side. Stands 22 are provided on both sides of the opening end of the storage bin 21. A rotating drum 23 is rotatably mounted between the two stands 22, and a power device 24 for driving the rotating drum 23 to rotate counterclockwise is provided on one of the stands 22. Multiple material-pushing plates 25 are fixedly arranged in a circular array on the drum surface of the rotating drum 23. Each material-pushing plate 25 has multiple combing slots 251 arranged in rows on its outer edge. These combing slots 251 are funnel-shaped, wider at the outside and narrower at the inside, with the inner width of the slot between the diameter of the mushroom stem and the diameter of the mushroom cap, preferably 5-8 mm. When the feeding plate 25 at the bottom of the drum 23 rotates counterclockwise from the lower end of the storage bin 21, it can cause the dried mushrooms inside the storage bin 21 to tumble irregularly. During the tumbling process, the stem of the deer antler mushroom can pass through the combing slot 251, while the mushroom cap is stuck on the outside of the combing slot 251. As a result, when the feeding plate 25 flips out from the mushroom pile, each combing slot 251 will hold a deer antler mushroom, and all the deer antler mushrooms 100 will be in a neat posture with the mushroom cap facing up and the mushroom stem facing down.

[0032] The dried mushroom conveying mechanism 10 includes a first conveying seat 11 located opposite the rotating drum 23 and connected to the upper end of the storage bin 21. An inlet 210 is provided on the upper side of the storage bin 21. A first conveyor belt 12 is installed in the first conveying seat 11. One end of the first conveyor belt 12 has a roller connected to a first conveying power source 13, and the other end of the first conveyor belt 12 extends into the storage bin 21 through the inlet 210. The dried mushrooms are first rehydrated (i.e., water mist is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the dried mushrooms to allow them to absorb water and become more resilient, preventing them from breaking in subsequent processes due to excessive brittleness), and then conveyed to the storage bin 21 by the first conveyor belt 12.

[0033] The carton conveying mechanism 30 includes a second conveyor seat 31 parallel to the dried mushroom conveying mechanism 10 and located behind the dried mushroom combing mechanism 20. A base box seat 32 is provided at the lower end of the second conveyor seat 31, and a second conveyor belt 33 is disposed within the second conveyor seat 31. One end of the second conveyor belt 33 has a roller connected to a second conveying power source 34 controlled by a servo. During the packing process of the deer antler mushrooms, cartons 300 are placed on the second conveyor belt 33 at set intervals. Under servo control, the second conveyor belt 33 drives the cartons 300 to move a preset distance each time.

[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the air-blowing receiving and guiding mechanism 40 includes an air-blowing unloading unit and a receiving and guiding unit. The air-blowing unloading unit includes a high-pressure air source 41, which can be a compressed air tank or an air compressor. A jet pipe 42 is connected to the high-pressure air source 41. The upper end of the jet pipe 42 is parallel to the axis of the rotating drum 23 and located at the 1 o'clock position of the rotating drum 23. A row of high-pressure air nozzles 421 is provided on the jet pipe 42. Each high-pressure air nozzle 421 is connected to the jet pipe 42 by a solenoid valve 422 actively controlled by the controller 50. The row of high-pressure air nozzles 421 are aligned one by one with the comb slots 251 on the topmost (i.e., the 12 o'clock position) material guide plate 25. When the feeding plate 25 rotates to the top carrying the deer antler mushroom, the high-pressure air jet from the high-pressure air nozzle 421 can act on the deer antler mushroom in the comb slot 251, blowing it down from the comb slot 251 towards the 11 o'clock direction.

[0035] In addition, the air-blowing feeding unit also includes a detection camera 60 electrically connected to the controller 50. The detection camera 60 is fixedly mounted on the top of the storage bin 21 via a camera bracket 61, with its lens facing the feeding plate 25 that rotates out of the storage bin 21 (e.g., aligned with the 2-3 o'clock direction). When the feeding plate 25 carries the mushrooms upwards to this area, the detection camera 60 takes a picture of the mushrooms on the feeding plate 25. Then, the processing module in the controller 50 analyzes the picture to determine which comb slots 251 are not attached to mushrooms and records their positions. In the subsequent air-blowing feeding stage, the controller controls the corresponding solenoid valve 422 to remain closed (no air blowing) to avoid dry blowing. At the same time, the detection camera 60 can also count the actual number of mushrooms on each feeding plate 25, providing data for subsequent packing quantity control.

[0036] The receiving and guiding unit includes a mounting bracket 43 fixedly mounted on the carton conveying mechanism 30 and a discharge guide 44. A rotating shaft 441 is fixed to the rear end of the discharge guide 44, and the rotating shaft 441 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 43. A gear 442 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 441. A servo cylinder 45 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 43. A rack 46 meshing with the gear 442 is connected to the telescopic shaft of the servo cylinder 45. A slide rod 47 for horizontally guiding the rack 46 is also fixed on the mounting bracket 43.

[0037] The feeding guide 44, driven by the servo cylinder 45, rack 46, and gear 442, can switch between a horizontal and an upwardly tilted state. When the feeding guide 44 is in a horizontal state, it is located to the left of the top material-pushing plate 25, allowing the deer antler mushrooms blown down by the high-pressure airflow to fall directly into the feeding guide 44. A feeding guide hopper 48 is also fixedly installed at the lower rear of the feeding guide 44. This feeding guide hopper 48 connects to the rear end of the feeding guide 44 in the tilted state, and its bottom outlet is located directly above a segmented area of ​​the carton 300.

[0038] In the operation of the automatic neat packing device for deer antler mushrooms disclosed in Embodiment 1, the deer antler mushrooms, after being dried and rehydrated, are conveyed to the storage bin 21 by the first conveyor belt 12; at the same time, the cartons 300 to be packed are conveyed to the bottom of the unloading guide 48 by the second conveyor belt 33, and a section of the carton 300 is aligned vertically with the outlet of the unloading guide 48.

[0039] After the cardboard box is in place, the drum 23 rotates counterclockwise, and the bottom material-pushing plate 25 rotates upward from the lower end of the storage bin 21, causing the antler mushrooms in the storage bin 21 to turn over continuously. Due to the screening effect of the comb card slot 251, each slot "hangs" a antler mushroom (the mushroom cap is stuck at the upper end and the mushroom stem extends downward).

[0040] When the feeding plate 25 rotates into the shooting area of ​​the detection camera 60, the camera takes a picture and identifies the position of the empty comb slot 251. The feeding plate 25 then continues to rotate to the top, at which point the discharge guide 44 has switched to a horizontal position and is located to the left of the feeding plate 25. Next, the controller opens the corresponding solenoid valve 422 based on the detection result, and high-pressure airflow blows the antler mushrooms from the comb slot 251 into the discharge guide 44. The antler mushrooms in the discharge guide 44 are neatly arranged (with the caps facing left).

[0041] Subsequently, the servo cylinder 45 actuates, causing the front end of the feeding guide trough 44 to tilt upwards. This avoids the counter-clockwise rotating material feeding plate 25 and guides the deer antler mushrooms in the feeding guide trough 44 to slide backwards under gravity, falling into the carton 300 through the feeding guide hopper 48, completing one neat packing cycle. After several rounds of tilting feeding and packing through the feeding guide trough 44, once one section of the carton 300 is neatly filled with deer antler mushrooms, the carton 300 moves forward one section distance, awaiting the next feeding cycle. Example 2

[0042] Example 2 is a further optimization based on Example 1, by adding a shaking box material distribution mechanism 70, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown. After the deer antler mushrooms fall into the segmented area of ​​the carton 300, the shaking and evenly distributing mechanism 70 can drive the carton 300 to shake back and forth, so that the neatly stacked deer antler mushrooms are evenly spread, avoiding local areas that are too high or have gaps, and ensuring the packing effect.

[0043] The carton-shaking material distribution mechanism 70 includes a lifting frame 71 and a lifting cylinder 72. The lifting cylinder 72 is fixedly installed on the side end of the mounting bracket 43, and the lifting frame 71 is connected to the lower telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 72. A U-shaped frame 73 with an opening slightly larger than the width of the carton 300 is provided in the lifting frame 71. Guide rods 74 penetrating the lifting frame 71 are provided at both ends of the U-shaped frame 73, and a first spring 75 sleeved on the guide rods 74 connects the lifting frame 71 and the U-shaped frame 73. A cam motor 76 is provided on the side end of the lifting frame 71, and a cam block 77 acting on the side end of the U-shaped frame 73 is fixed on the motor shaft of the cam motor 76.

[0044] During operation, once the mushrooms in a section of the cardboard box 300 have reached a certain height, the lifting cylinder 72 extends, pushing the lifting frame 71 downwards, causing the U-shaped frame 73 to clamp the cardboard box 300 from both sides. Then, the cam motor 76 is activated, causing the cam block 77 to rotate and push the U-shaped frame 73 horizontally. Simultaneously, the first spring 75 provides a restoring force, causing the cardboard box 300 to sway back and forth, automatically leveling the mushrooms. After leveling, the lifting cylinder 72 retracts, the U-shaped frame 73 lifts, and the cardboard box 300 continues to be conveyed forward one section distance, or remains stationary to receive the next neatly arranged mushrooms. Example 3

[0045] Example 3 further optimizes Example 1 by adding an impact mechanism 80 to the bottom of the storage bin 21 to address the potential issue of missed items (i.e., no deer antler mushrooms being attached) in the comb slot 251 of the feeding plate 25. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown.

[0046] First, in this embodiment 3, a rectangular opening is provided at the lower end of the storage bin 21, and a taut elastic diaphragm 211 is fixed in the rectangular opening. The elastic diaphragm 211 is preferably made of rubber material, and when it is impacted in a taut state, it can throw the randomly piled deer antler mushrooms above it upwards. Second, an impact mechanism 80 that acts on the elastic diaphragm 211 is also provided on the lower outer surface of the storage bin 21.

[0047] The impact mechanism 80 includes a column frame 81 fixed to the bottom surface of the storage bin 21. Each row of columns in the column frame 81 contains an impact column 82, the top of which can reach the elastic diaphragm 211. The lower ends of all the impact columns 82 are connected to an end plate 83, and a second spring 84 is provided between the end plate 83 and the column frame 81. Extension plates 85 are fixed to the bottom surface of the storage bin 21 on both sides of the column frame 81. A shaft is rotatably mounted between the two extension plates 85, and one end of the shaft is connected to a power motor 86. A pressure wheel 87 with an Archimedean spiral outer contour is fixed to the middle of the shaft, and a pressure frame 88 that interacts with the wheel surface of the pressure wheel 87 is fixed on the end plate 83.

[0048] During operation, when the feeding plate 25 rotates from the bottom of the storage bin 21 into the mushroom pile, the power motor 86 drives the pressure roller 87 to rotate. As the pressure roller 87 rotates, its Archimedean spiral profile gradually compresses the pressure frame 88, causing the end strip 83 and all the impact pillars 82 to move downwards, while simultaneously stretching the second spring 84. When the pressure roller 87 rotates to a certain angle, its radius suddenly decreases, and the force on the pressure frame 88 instantly disappears. Under the restoring force of the second spring 84, all the impact pillars 82 rapidly impact the elastic diaphragm 211 upwards. Then, the mushrooms piled on the elastic diaphragm 211 are bounced upwards and scattered onto the upwardly rotating feeding plate 25, thereby increasing the probability of mushrooms being caught in each comb slot 251 and effectively reducing leakage.

[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
