Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of instant food, in particular to a small package counting and packaging device for instant food. Background Art

[0002] Instant food is a convenient food that can be prepared in a short time. It is usually sold by fast food restaurants or convenience stores, and can also be made at home. Instant food usually has the characteristics of fast supply, immediate consumption, reasonable price, convenience, etc. In the product packaging process of instant food, it is often necessary to first put the product into a small packaging device, and then put the small packaging device into a large package. For example, granular, powdered drinks, foods, etc. need to be packaged in a large bag with several small bags.

[0003] In the prior art, manual packaging and assembly line work are usually used to package fast food. This packaging method is labor-intensive and easy to fatigue, resulting in inaccurate counting and low work efficiency. In addition, manual operation will also cause problems in hygiene and other aspects. The labor cost of manual operation is high, and certain training and management costs need to be paid, which increases the cost of the entire packaging process. The assembly line conveyor belts used by a few factories will pile up a large number of small packages together, and the small packages will be selected, counted and packaged from the piled up small packages. The process is cumbersome and prone to errors.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fast food packet counting and packaging device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a fast food small package counting and packaging device, which adopts a first infrared counter, a second infrared counter and a baffle, and has the effect of accurately controlling the number of small packages in a batch and packaging.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions: a fast food packet counting and packaging device, comprising a feed trough, two support plates are fixedly installed on the top of the feed trough, a support frame is fixedly installed on the top of the two support plates, a first motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, a stirring rod is arranged directly below the first motor, a lower hopper is fixedly installed between the two support plates, a discharge port is opened on the side wall of the lower hopper, the stirring rod is arranged directly above the lower hopper, and the discharge port is arranged directly above the feed trough, a first connecting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the feed trough, a first infrared counter is fixedly installed on the top of the first connecting frame, two vertical plates are fixedly installed on one side of the feed trough, a conveying mechanism is arranged between the two vertical plates, a second connecting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the two vertical plates, a second infrared counter is fixedly installed on the top of the second connecting frame, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second connecting frame, a cylinder is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the connecting plate, a baffle is transmission-connected to the output end of the cylinder, and a packaging device body is fixedly installed on one end of the two vertical plates.

The first motor drives the stirring rod to stir, so that the small package of instant food inside flows out through the discharge port, enters the conveying mechanism through the lower chute, and passes through the first infrared counter. When the first infrared counter detects the number of small packages required for a batch, the cylinder is controlled to block the small packages being transported above the conveying mechanism with a baffle. Because the cylinder is closed immediately after the first infrared counter is calculated, a part of the small packages that have not yet entered the lower part of the second infrared counter are blocked by the baffle. At this time, the second infrared counter calculates The control cylinder releases the baffle to convey the remaining packets when the second infrared counter detects that the required number of packets for a batch has been reached, and the control cylinder continues to descend. The remaining packets are conveyed into the packaging device body through the conveying mechanism for packaging of this batch. The cylinder controls the baffle to leave the conveying mechanism and repeats the last operation to pack the next batch. The use of two infrared counters prevents the use of only one counter, which may cause the packets to be conveyed too quickly and cannot be accurately counted. The two infrared counters can realize phased buffering of the counting process with high fault tolerance, making the device more practical and efficient.

[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: the conveying mechanism comprises two conveying rollers, the two conveying rollers are rotatably mounted between two vertical plates, a second motor is fixedly mounted on the side wall of one of the vertical plates, an output end of the second motor is transmission-connected to the conveying rollers, and a conveyor belt is transmission-connected between the two conveying rollers.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, one of the conveying rollers is driven to rotate by the rotation of the second motor, and the other conveying roller rotates simultaneously under the transmission action of the conveyor belt, thereby realizing the process of conveying small packages with the conveyor belt and increasing the practical performance of the device.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a material receiving trough is fixedly mounted on one end of the two vertical plates, and the material receiving trough is arranged just below the packaging device body.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the large package after the multiple small packages are packed can be collected through the collecting chute without manual collection, which increases the practical performance and work efficiency of the device.

[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: a plurality of infrared sensing devices are fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the baffle.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the infrared sensing device is electrically connected to the cylinder through the PLC sensor, and the baffle can sense the small package below the baffle through the infrared sensing device. When there is a small package below, the cylinder will not move downward to avoid accidental injury to the small package, thereby increasing the safety protection performance of the device.

[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: a plurality of balls are arranged on the top of the feeding trough.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of the ball bearings can reduce the friction between the small packages and the feed trough, thereby preventing the small packages from piling up on the feed trough and causing blockage.

[0016] The utility model is further configured as follows: an electric telescopic rod is arranged between the first motor and the stirring rod, one end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the stirring rod, and the output end of the first motor is transmission-connected to the other end of the electric telescopic rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric telescopic rod can realize the up and down movement of the stirring rod, which is convenient for stirring the small bags inside the lower hopper, thereby increasing the practical performance of the device.

[0018] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the cylinder of the utility model is electrically connected to the first infrared counter and the second infrared counter respectively through the PLC sensor, the small package of instant food to be packaged is placed in the lower hopper, the first motor is started, and the first motor drives the stirring rod to stir, so that the small package of instant food inside flows out through the discharge port, enters the conveying mechanism through the lower chute, and passes through the first infrared counter. When the first infrared counter detects the number of small packages required for a batch, the cylinder is controlled to block the small packages being transported above the conveying mechanism with a baffle. Because the cylinder is closed immediately after the first infrared counter calculates, a part of the small packages that have not yet entered the lower part of the second infrared counter are blocked by the baffle. At this time, the second The infrared counter calculates how many packets are needed to reach the number of packets required for a batch, controls the cylinder to release the baffle, and continues to convey the remaining packets. When the second infrared counter detects that the number of packets required for a batch has been reached, the control cylinder continues to descend, and conveys the remaining packets into the packaging device body through the conveying mechanism for packaging of this batch. After that, the cylinder controls the baffle to leave the conveying mechanism and repeats the last operation to pack the next batch. The purpose of using two infrared counters is to prevent the use of only one counter, which may cause the packets to be conveyed too fast and cannot be accurately counted. The two infrared counters can realize staged buffering of the counting process with high fault tolerance, so that the practical performance and work efficiency of the device are relatively high.
