[0002] The weight detection of existing meat product production lines generally adopts a separate workstation design. The staff needs to perform weight detection on the food individually, or adopt a random sampling method. In this method, the staff needs to place the products one by one on the weighing table for weighing, which reduces the detection efficiency of meat products. Therefore, a meat product weight detector is proposed.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a meat product weight detector with the existing patent number CN219899165U includes a detection box, a transmission mechanism is arranged inside the detection box, a control panel is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the detection box, a support frame is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the detection box, a weight sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, and a push mechanism is arranged on the left inner wall of the detection box. The meat product weight detector is provided with a transmission mechanism. When in use, the device is connected to an external power supply, and then meat products with the same interval are placed on the left conveyor belt, and the distance of the interval is equal to the distance of the rack moving back and forth. The meat products placed on the left conveyor belt fall onto the weight sensor under the action of transmission, and the weight of the meat products is detected by the weight sensor. After the detection is completed, the motor is started, and the start of the motor will drive the turntable to rotate, and the turntable will drive the push plate to move back and forth.

[0004] However, the applicant has found that due to the conveyor belt transmission mode adopted, if the meat is not aligned to the middle position in the previous process, the position where it falls into the electronic scale may be a non-central area, resulting in large measurement accuracy errors.

[0017] In order to make the technical purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the present utility model clearer, the technical solution of the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] The utility model provides a meat product weight detection device, as shown in the figure, including a conveyor 1, a guide frame, and a weighing platform 3 arranged in sequence. The conveyor 1 is responsible for conveying the continuously produced meat products to the guide frame according to the preset speed and sequence. The function of the guide frame is to stably receive the meat products falling from the conveyor 1, and effectively position the meat products through its own design characteristics to ensure that the meat products can accurately enter the subsequent weighing link. The weighing platform 3 is an existing device for measuring the weight of the meat products. The device also includes a clamping device, which includes two clamping mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the weighing platform 3 and whose ends extend to the guide frame and the next process station 4 respectively. After the meat products fall steadily to the guide frame, the two mechanisms of the clamping device can operate simultaneously. The clamping device synchronously grabs the meat products on the guide frame and the meat products on the weighing platform 3 and transfers them to the weighing platform 3 for weighing and to the next process station 4 respectively. The next process station mentioned above refers to a process that requires the precise position of the meat product to work, such as a labeling machine that needs to stamp or label the meat product, a stacker that needs to stack the meat products at the same position, a packaging machine that needs to package the meat products, etc.

[0019] The clamping mechanism includes a frame 8 located outside the weighing platform 3, a connecting plate 10 that is swingably matched with the frame 8 through a crank 9, a clamping plate 11 installed on the side of the connecting plate 10 facing the weighing platform 3, and a first hydraulic cylinder device arranged between the clamping plate 11 and the connecting plate 10. The two first hydraulic cylinders work synchronously to drive the two clamping plates 11 to move toward or away from each other to clamp or release the meat between the two. The transmission mechanism includes a second hydraulic cylinder 12, a gear and a rack 13. The rack 13 is slidably matched with the frame 8, and the telescopic rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 12 is directly connected to the rack 13. When the second hydraulic cylinder 12 works, it can drive the linear movement of the rack 13 through telescopic movement. The crank 9 is set to multiple, and the multiple cranks 9 are arranged in parallel and at intervals along the length direction of the connecting plate 10. One end of each crank 9 is hinged to the connecting plate 10 through a first pin shaft, and the other end is hinged to the frame 8 through a second pin shaft. The second pin shaft passes through the frame 8, and a gear meshing with the rack 13 is installed on the side through which it passes, so that a complete mechanical transmission chain is formed. When the second hydraulic cylinder 12 starts to work, it pushes the rack 13 to drive the gear to rotate, and then the multiple cranks 9 swing around their respective pin shafts, thereby effectively linking the connecting plate 10 to perform a stable swinging motion.

[0020] After the transmission mechanism moves from the initial position to the clamping plate 11 with the assistance of the first hydraulic cylinder to accurately grasp the meat, the meat is lifted and swung forward before falling down and releasing. After a process is completed, the transmission mechanism returns to its original position and repeats the above process. In this way, the accurate grasping, placement or transfer of meat is completed, ensuring the efficient operation and accurate execution of the entire meat product weight detection system.

[0021] The guide frame includes a bottom plate 5, a first slope 6 and a second slope 7. The first slope 6 is located between the conveyor 1 and the bottom plate 5. Its function is to smoothly transfer the meat sliding down from the conveyor 1 to the bottom plate of the guide frame. The bottom plate 5, as the main part of the entire guide frame, provides a wide and stable bearing surface to receive and temporarily store the meat sliding down from the first slope 6. The second slope 7 is located between the bottom plate 5 and the weighing platform 3 to ensure that the meat can naturally slide along the second slope 7 to the weighing platform 3 after being buffered on the second slope. The first slope 6, the bottom plate 5 and the second slope 7 are adjacent to each other in sequence and are configured to be in the shape of an open groove.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate but not to limit the technical solutions of the present invention, and any equivalent substitutions of the present invention and any modifications or partial substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
