Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vegetable ball production technology, and in particular to an automatic arrangement device for vegetable ball production. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, the automated arrangement of vegetable balls is a crucial step before quick-freezing, packaging, and further processing. To achieve uniform placement of the vegetable balls and facilitate subsequent processing, they are typically arranged orderly on a mat before the mat is transferred to the next process step. This process requires the vegetable balls to be consistently positioned and evenly spaced on the mat, while maintaining their shape.

[0003] Currently, the arrangement of vegetable balls is mostly done manually or with semi-automatic equipment. Operators lay a mat flat on a workbench and then manually place the vegetable balls one by one onto the mat. This method has significant shortcomings. First, manual arrangement is inefficient, especially for large-scale continuous production. Manual operation cannot meet capacity demands, and prolonged repetitive work easily leads to operator fatigue, affecting the consistency of the arrangement. Second, vegetable balls are easily squeezed or dropped during manual placement, causing shape damage or deformation, affecting product appearance and subsequent processing quality. It also easily causes vegetable balls to squeeze or roll out of place, disrupting the arrangement order and spacing. Furthermore, the position adjustment capability of the placement board is limited, making it difficult to adapt to the production needs of different sized vegetable balls or mats, resulting in poor equipment versatility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention discloses an automatic arrangement device for vegetable ball production.

[0036] The arrangement assembly 3 also includes a mounting frame 307, on which an adjusting frame 309 is slidably mounted. A motor 310 is mounted on the side of the mounting frame 307, and a lead screw is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 310. The adjusting frame 309 and the lead screw on the output shaft of the motor 310 are connected by threads. When the motor 310 starts, it drives the adjusting frame 309 to move on the mounting frame 307. A pressing block 311 is slidably mounted on the adjusting frame 309. An electric cylinder 312 is mounted on the upper end of the adjusting frame 309. The movable end of the electric cylinder 312 is connected to the pressing block 311. When the electric cylinder 312 starts, it drives the pressing block 311 to move. The pressing block 311 and the adjusting frame 309 clamp one end of the pad 206. The end of the adjusting frame 309 facing the conveyor belt 113 is provided with an inclined surface. When the conveyor belt 113 moves the pad 206 close to the adjusting frame 309, the adjusting frame 309 uses the inclined surface to lift one end of the pad 206.

[0037] The mounting bracket 307 also contains an electric cylinder 4. The movable end of the electric cylinder 4 is connected to the support plate 308. When the electric cylinder 4 is started, it drives the support plate 308 to move, and the support plate 308 supports the bottom of the placement plate 306.

[0038] Working principle: During operation, the second drive mounting frame 111 slides on the first base 116. The second drive mounting frame 111 drives the conveyor belt 113 to the lower end of the winding roller 205. The winding roller 205 is started to rotate, and the winding roller 205 lowers the pad 206. The spray head 210 is started, and the spray head 210 sprays water mist onto the pad 206 to wet the pad 206, improving the fit between the pad 206 and the conveyor belt 113. At the same time, the push rod 208 is driven to move, and the push rod 208 pushes the pad 206 to move, so that the orientation of one end of the pad 206 is the same as the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 113, and the rotation speed of the winding roller 205 is the same as the rotation speed of the conveyor belt 113, ensuring the stability of the pad 206 placed on the conveyor belt 113. When it is necessary to place the pad 206 again, the third drive mounting frame 202 is driven to rotate, and the third drive mounting frame 202 drives a new set of pads 206 to align with the conveyor belt 113.

[0039] After the mat 206 is placed, the forming device 101 is driven. The forming device 101 discharges the formed vegetable balls 114 onto the mat 206 through the discharge port 104. The second mounting frame 111 is gradually driven to move, so that multiple sets of vegetable balls 114 are arranged on the mat 206. After the vegetable balls 114 are placed, the second mounting frame 111 is driven to approach the adjusting frame 309.

[0040] During the placement of vegetable ball 114, the status of vegetable ball 114 is detected by camera 103. When vegetable ball 114 is damaged or deformed, the drive mounting frame 106 is lowered, the push column 107 is rotated, the push column 107 drives the push plate 108 to rotate, and the push plate 108 pushes the problematic vegetable ball 114 into the recycling tank 102 to complete the screening.

[0041] The drive moves a set of placement plates 306 that need to hold the vegetable ball 114, moving them into the mounting frame 307. The drive then raises the support plate 308, which supports the lower end of the placement plate 306. The placement position aligns with the lower end of the adjusting frame 309. The drive then moves the adjusting frame 309 closer to the conveyor belt 113, inserting it into the lower end of the pad 206. The drive then moves the pressing block 311 onto the adjusting frame 309, clamping the pad 206 between the pressing block 311 and the adjusting frame 309, completing the clamping process. After the rear drive adjustment frame 309 is reset, the adjustment frame 309 moves the pad 206 on the conveyor belt 113, pulling the pad 206 onto the placement plate 306. After the pad 206 moves all the vegetable balls 114 onto the placement plate 306, the drive pressing block 311 is reset. After placing one row of vegetable balls 114, the drive locking frame 313 moves, and the locking frame 313 moves the placement plate 306, aligning the row of vegetable balls 114 on the placement plate 306 with the lower end of the adjustment frame 309, and then placing the next group.

[0042] After placing a set of placement plates 306, a set of arrangement racks 304 is driven to rise, and then another set of arrangement racks 304 is driven to reach the placement position, completing the adjustment of the positions of multiple sets of arrangement racks 304, so as to place the vegetable balls 114 on the placement plate 306.

[0043] When it is necessary to remove the placement plate 306 from the locking frame 313, loosen the bolt 315, and release the locking plate 314 from the locking frame 313 to fix the placement plate 306. Then, remove the placement plate 306 with the arranged vegetable balls 114 for processing.
