Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiment of the utility model relates to the field of food packaging. More specifically, the utility model relates to a boxing operation platform for raw food sorting equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the food packaging industry, raw food sorting equipment is mainly used to grade raw food such as fruits, vegetables, and seafood. Existing raw food sorting equipment usually has multiple food output areas, and each food output area is used to output raw food or trays containing raw food. In order to improve the packaging efficiency of food, one or more operating tables are set near each food output area, so that the operator can complete food packaging operations such as cutting fruit stems, bagging, and boxing on this operating table.
[0003] However, although the existing operating table can be used as a supporting equipment for the raw food sorting equipment and assist the operator to complete the food packaging operation, it also has obvious defects. That is, due to the uneven grade of the raw food, the output efficiency of each food output area of the raw food sorting equipment is not consistent. This imbalance phenomenon causes each operating table to receive an uneven amount of raw food in the same time period. On the operating table corresponding to some efficient food output areas, the operator's workload is high and the food packaging needs to be completed quickly. On the contrary, on the operating table corresponding to the inefficient food output area, the operator's workload is low and only needs to complete the food packaging slowly. This uneven distribution of workload not only reduces the overall production efficiency, but may also cause fatigue and dissatisfaction of some operators, posing a potential threat to the efficiency of food packaging. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a packing operation platform for raw food sorting equipment to solve this problem and achieve efficient packaging of raw food. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve one or more of the technical problems mentioned above, the utility model provides a packing operation platform for raw food sorting equipment, which not only ensures that the workload of each operator is evenly distributed, but also effectively reduces the operator's fatigue and dissatisfaction, and helps to improve the packaging efficiency of raw food.
[0005] The utility model provides a packing operation platform for raw food sorting equipment, which comprises: a platform frame, which has multiple packing areas; multiple packing tabletops, which are all arranged on the platform frame and separately arranged in each of the packing areas; and a material feeding track, which comprises an input section passing through each food output area of the raw food sorting equipment, and an output section passing through each of the packing areas of the platform frame; wherein the material feeding track first receives the raw food output from the raw food sorting equipment in each of the food output areas through its input section, or receives a storage container containing multiple raw food and the raw food all comes from the raw food sorting equipment, and then sends the raw food or the storage container containing multiple raw food to each of the packing areas of the platform frame through its output end, and the storage container comprises a turnover box or a packaging box.
[0006] The boxing operation platform for the raw food sorting equipment of the utility model is mainly composed of a platform frame, a boxing table and a material feeding track. The input section of the material feeding track can collect raw food from each food output area of the raw food sorting equipment by direct reception or manual transfer, and its output section is used to send the collected raw food into each boxing area of the platform frame, so that the operator standing next to the corresponding boxing table can easily obtain the raw food in the boxing area where the boxing table is located, and then complete pre-processing operations such as cutting fruit stems, bagging / labeling and packaging operations including at least boxing on the boxing table. The boxing operation platform breaks the limitation that a single operating table and the corresponding operator can only process raw food from a single food output area in the traditional mode, so that any boxing table and the operator standing near it can process raw food from each food output area, which not only ensures that the workload of each operator is evenly distributed, but also effectively reduces the fatigue and dissatisfaction of the operator, which helps to improve the packaging efficiency of raw food.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0015] The embodiment of the utility model provides a boxing operation platform 100 for a raw food sorting device. The raw food sorting device is mainly used to complete the grade sorting of raw food 300 such as fruits, vegetables, seafood, etc. For example, the raw food is graded according to its quality, appearance, and quality. The raw food sorting device has multiple food output areas, and each food output area can repeatedly provide or repeatedly output raw food 300 of the same grade or trays containing raw food 300, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and quality of food packaging.
[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the boxing operation platform 100 includes a platform frame 1 and a plurality of boxing platforms 2. The platform frame 1 may be a frame-shaped support structure, which has a plurality of boxing areas 11. Each boxing area 11 is provided with at least one boxing platform 2, which is used to place storage containers 400. The storage containers 400 include turnover boxes or packaging boxes. When in use, the operator can stand next to the boxing platform 2 and easily complete pre-processing operations such as cutting fruit stems, bagging / labeling, and packaging operations including at least boxing on the boxing platform 2.
[0017] As an example, a plurality of packing areas 11 are arranged in sequence along the output section 32 of the material feeding track 3, and each packing area 11 is provided with a packing platen 2 on one side of the material feeding track 3. This method is suitable for constructing each packing area 11 of the packing operation platform 100 as a modular structure, so that the volume and carrying capacity of the packing operation platform 100 can be freely expanded or reduced according to the site area and the actual required processing efficiency. As another example, a plurality of packing areas 11 are arranged in sequence along the output section 32 of the material feeding track 3, and each packing area 11 is provided with two packing plates 2 symmetrical about the material feeding track 3. In addition to being suitable for modular design, the symmetrically arranged platen design can also significantly improve space utilization and allow two operators to work at the same time, thereby increasing the processing speed of packaging.
[0018] The packing operation platform 100 also includes a material feeding track 3. The material feeding track 3 includes an input section 31, an output section 32, and a connecting section 33 connecting the input section 31 and the output section 32. The material feeding track 3 includes a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor suitable for conveying a storage container 400 filled with raw food 300, wherein the number of conveyors may be one or more. Preferably, when the material feeding track 3 includes three conveyors arranged in sequence and connected end to end, the three conveyors are respectively the input section 31, the connecting section 33 and the output section 32 of the material feeding track 3. Among them, the conveyor as the connecting section 33 can be selected as a conveyor with an inclination so that the arrangement heights of the connecting section 33 and the output section 32 are different.
[0019] The input section 31 of the material feeding track 3 is arranged at the location of the raw food sorting equipment and passes through each food output area of the raw food sorting equipment, so that it can directly receive the raw food 300 output from the raw food sorting equipment in each food output area, or receive the storage container 400 (such as a turnover box or a packaging box) containing multiple raw food 300 and all the raw food 300 are from the raw food sorting equipment through indirect supply methods such as manual transfer. The output section 32 of the material feeding track 3 is arranged in the platform frame 1 and passes through each boxing area 11 of the platform frame 1, and is used to send the collected raw food 300 or the storage container 400 containing multiple raw food 300 to each boxing area 11 of the platform frame 1, so that the operator standing next to the boxing platform 2 can easily obtain the raw food 300 in the boxing area 11 where the boxing platform 2 is located, and then complete the pre-processing operations such as cutting the fruit stems, bagging / labeling, and at least the packaging operations including boxing on the boxing platform 2. Therefore, the packing operation platform 100 can break the limitation of the traditional mode that a single operating table and the corresponding operator can only process raw ingredients from a single food output area, ensuring that any packing table 2 and the operator standing near it can process raw ingredients 300 from each food output area. This not only ensures that the workload of each operator is evenly distributed, but also effectively reduces the operator's fatigue and dissatisfaction, which helps to improve the packaging efficiency of the raw ingredients 300.
[0020] In order to improve the operation efficiency and convenience, the packing operation platform 100 also includes a first supporting member 5 fixed in the food output area. The first supporting member 5 includes a first supporting surface for temporarily storing the storage container 400 and aligned with the edge of the load-bearing conveying layer of the material feeding track 3. In this way, the first supporting surface can temporarily store the storage container 400, and the operator standing nearby and in the corresponding food output area of the raw food sorting equipment can directly take out the raw food 300 from the food output area and easily load it into the storage container 400. After the storage container 400 is full, the operator can push it onto the material feeding track 3, thereby ensuring that the material feeding track 3 can deliver the storage container 400 filled with raw food 300 to each packing area 11 of the platform frame 1.
[0021] The raw food sorting equipment includes a food extraction port 2002 disposed in the food output area and used for outputting the raw food 300. In order to facilitate the operator to take the raw food 300 from the food extraction port 2002 and easily put it into the storage container 400, this embodiment provides two examples of the first supporting member 5.
[0022] In one example, the input section 31 of the material feeding track 3 is arranged to cross over each food extraction port 2002 of the raw food sorting device (see Figure 1 ), and the first supporting member 5 includes a first inclined support plate 51 provided on the side of the material feeding track 3 and having a first supporting surface, and a first blocking structure 52 provided at the lower end of the inclined support plate, see Figure 3 The first blocking structure 52 may be a guardrail, a baffle or other structure suitable for blocking. When in use, the operator may place the storage container 400 directly on the first supporting surface of the first inclined support plate 51, and use the first blocking structure 52 to prevent the storage container 400 from sliding off the first supporting surface. Meanwhile, the first inclined support plate 51 is also used to keep the storage container 400 in an inclined state, so that the operator can take the raw food 300 from the food extraction port 2002 and put it into the storage container 400.
[0023] In another example, the input section 31 of the material feeding track 3 is configured to cross from below each food extraction port 2002 of the raw food sorting device, and the first supporting member 5 includes a loading platen arranged on the side of the material feeding track 3 in the horizontal direction and having a first supporting surface. Among them, the so-called loading platen is not shown in each figure, and the structure of the packing platen 2 can be specifically referred to. When in use, the operator can place the storage container 400 directly on the first supporting surface of the loading platen, and then take the raw food 300 from the food extraction port 2002 and load it into the storage container 400. In this operation, since the food extraction port 2002 is higher than the height of the loading platen, the operator can implement a top-down handling operation that is easier than from bottom to top in the process of loading the raw food 300 into the storage container 400, which is conducive to reducing the fatigue and convenience of the operator. This effect is more prominent in large and heavy fruits and vegetables such as pumpkins, watermelons, and durian.
[0024] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the boxing operation platform 100 also includes a material delivery track 4 which is at least partially arranged on the platform frame 1 and passes through each boxing area 11 of the platform frame 1. The material delivery track 4 includes a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor suitable for conveying a storage container 400 containing raw food 300, wherein the number of conveyors can be one or more. When the operator completes the boxing operation on the boxing table 2, the packaging box filled with raw food 300 can be transferred from the boxing table 2 to the material delivery track 4, and then the material delivery track 4 will deliver it to the next process (such as sealing or stacking, etc.), reducing manual handling and labor costs.
[0025] Regarding the height arrangement of the output section 32 of the material feeding track 3 and the material discharging track 4 , this embodiment provides but is limited to the following two implementation modes.
[0026] In the first method, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the output section 32 of the material feeding track 3 is set to be higher than the material discharging track 4, and the top surface of each packing platen 2 is flush with the load-bearing and conveying layer of the material discharging track 4. When the storage container 400 (turnover box or packaging box) filled with raw food 300 is delivered to the packing area 11, the corresponding operator can perform a top-down handling operation that is easier than bottom-up, and transfer the storage container 400 filled with raw food 300 to the packing platen 2. If the storage container 400 arriving on the packing platen 2 is a turnover box, the operator needs to complete pre-processing such as cutting the fruit stalks, bagging and labeling on the packing platen 2, as well as the operation of loading the processed raw food 300 into the packaging box, and finally push the packaging box filled with raw food 300 from the packing platen 2 quickly and safely into the material discharging track 4, ensuring that the packaging box filled with raw food 300 can be sent to the next process such as sealing or stacking by the material discharging track. If the storage container 400 arriving on the packing table 2 is a packing box, the operator needs to complete pre-processing operations such as cutting the fruit stems, bagging / labeling, and returning the raw food 300 to the original packing box on the packing table 2, and finally push the packing box filled with raw food 300 from the packing table 2 into the material delivery track 4, ensuring that the packing box filled with raw food 300 can be sent to the next process such as sealing or stacking by the material delivery track 4. It should be noted that the design of the top surface of the packing table 2 being flush with the load-bearing and conveying layer of the material delivery track 4 makes it easy for the operator to quickly and safely push the packing box filled with raw food 300 from the packing table 2 into the material delivery track 4.
[0027] In the second method, in addition to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In addition to the situation shown, the output section 32 of the material feeding track 3 can also be set to be lower than the material delivery track 4, and the top surface of each packing platen 2 is flush with the load-bearing and conveying layer of the material feeding track 3. When the storage container 400 (turnover box or packaging box) filled with raw food 300 is delivered to the packing area 11, the corresponding operator can easily pull the storage container 400 directly from the material feeding track 3 into the packing platen 2 to complete the processing including the packing operation, and after completing the processing, the storage container 400 (packing box) filled with raw food 300 is transferred to the material delivery track 4 by transportation, ensuring that the packaging box filled with raw food 300 can be delivered to the next process such as sealing or stacking by the material delivery track 4.
[0028] On the basis of the first method, in order to reduce the labor intensity of the operator, the packing operation platform 100 further includes a second supporting member 6 fixedly arranged in the packing area 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 4. The second supporting member 6 includes a second supporting surface 611 for temporarily storing the storage container 400 and aligned with the edge of the load-bearing conveying layer of the material feeding track 3. In this way, the operator no longer needs to transfer the turnover box full of raw ingredients 300 to the packing table 2, but can directly pull it onto the second supporting surface 611 of the second supporting member 6. Then the operator only needs to take out the raw ingredients 300 in the turnover box and put them into the packaging box placed on the packing table 2 in advance after processing. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to manually transfer the turnover box full of raw ingredients 300 to the packing table 2. It is only necessary to take and release the raw ingredients 300, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of the operator and help improve the overall packaging efficiency. Although the second supporting member 6 can be a table structure, in order to facilitate the operator to perform the material picking operation, the second supporting member 6 is preferably selected as an inclined supporting structure, that is, the second supporting member 6 includes a second inclined support plate 61 provided at the side of the material feeding track 3 and having a second supporting surface 611, and a second blocking structure 62 provided at the lower end of the second inclined support plate 61 away from the material feeding track 3 and used to prevent the raw food 300 from sliding off the second supporting surface 611, see Figure 4 . The second blocking structure 62 can be selected as a guardrail, baffle or other structure suitable for blocking. When in use, the operator can directly pull the turnover box filled with raw food 300 onto the second inclined support plate 61 on the second supporting surface 611, and use the second blocking structure 62 to prevent the turnover box from sliding off the first supporting surface. At the same time, the second inclined support plate 61 is also used to keep the turnover box in an inclined state, so that the operator can more easily take out the raw food 300 from the turnover box and implement the pre-processing and packing operations of the raw food 300.
[0029] In this embodiment, the packing operation platform 100 may also include a first idle roller 8 disposed above the material feeding track 3 and passing through each food output area. The first idle roller 8 is used to store turnover boxes and / or packaging boxes. When turnover boxes and packaging boxes are used in the packing operation platform 100 at the same time, the operator can temporarily place the turnover boxes that have not been used on the first idle roller 8 so that he can obtain the turnover boxes at any time and complete the transportation of the raw food 300 into the turnover boxes more quickly. When only packaging boxes are used in the packing operation platform 100, the operator can temporarily place the packaging boxes that have not been used on the first idle roller 8 so that he can obtain the packaging boxes at any time and complete the transportation operation of the raw food 300 into the packaging boxes more quickly.
[0030] In this embodiment, the packing operation platform 100 may also include a second idle roller 7 disposed above the material feeding track 3 and passing through each packing area 11 of the platform frame 1. The second idle roller 7 is used to store turnover boxes and / or packing boxes. When turnover boxes and packing boxes are used in the packing operation platform 100 at the same time, the second idle roller 7 can temporarily store turnover boxes that have been emptied of raw ingredients 300 and / or packing boxes that have not been used, so that the operator can quickly obtain packing boxes that have not been used and / or temporarily store turnover boxes that have been emptied of raw ingredients 300, which is conducive to improving the overall packaging efficiency. When only packing boxes are used in the packing operation platform 100, the second idle roller 7 can be used to temporarily store and unused packing boxes, so that the operator can quickly obtain unused packing boxes, which is conducive to improving the overall packaging efficiency.
[0031] In summary, the packing operation platform 100 for the raw food sorting equipment provided by the present invention not only ensures that the workload of each operator is evenly distributed, but also effectively reduces the fatigue and dissatisfaction of the operator, which helps to improve the packaging efficiency of the raw food 300.
