[0030] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a feeding device for the production of cooked canned food, comprising;

[0032] Stepping conveyor belt, stepping conveyor belt is used to convey different kinds of cans;

[0033] A color recognition device 2 is connected to one side of the end of the stepping conveyor belt. In a certain state of the stepping conveyor belt, the camera of the color recognition device 2 is facing the outer wall color of the can;

[0034] The sorting device 3 includes a lifting mechanism 31, a rotating mechanism 32 and a pneumatic clamp 33. The rotating mechanism 32 includes a rotating cylinder 321 and a connecting plate 322. The lifting mechanism 31 is used to drive the rotating mechanism 32 to move in the vertical direction. The connecting plate 322 is connected to the piston rod of the rotating cylinder 321. The axial direction of the rotating cylinder 321 is in the vertical direction. The pneumatic clamp 33 is connected to the connecting plate 322. The pneumatic clamp 33 includes two mutually symmetrical arc-shaped clamp arms 331.

[0035] A first conveyor belt 4, wherein the starting end of the first conveyor belt 4 is located below the rotation path of the arc-shaped clamping arm 331;

[0036] A second conveyor belt 5, the starting end of the second conveyor belt 5 is located below the rotation path of the arc-shaped clamping arm 331;

[0037] The PLC controller 6 is electrically connected to the stepping conveyor 1 , the color recognition device 2 , the lifting mechanism 31 , the rotating mechanism 32 and the pneumatic clamp 33 .

[0038] In the above embodiment, the color recognition device 2 is often used for sorting objects on an automated production line. It automatically sorts the objects by detecting the color of the product shell. When different types of cans are transported to the end on the stepping conveyor and the side wall of the can faces the camera of the color recognition device 2, the PLC controller 6 controls the stepping conveyor 1 to stop, and the color recognition device 2 performs color recognition. Then the lifting mechanism 31 drives the connecting plate 322 to descend, and the pneumatic clamp 33 clamps the outer wall of the can. According to the different colors of different types of cans, when the can is red, the PLC controller 6 controls the rotating cylinder 321 to rotate to the starting end of the first conveyor belt 4. When the color of the can is blue, it controls the rotating cylinder 321 to rotate to the starting end of the second conveyor belt 5 to complete the sorting of different types of cans. Compared with the prior art, different types of cans on the conveyor belt can be sorted, thereby reducing labor costs and improving transportation efficiency.

[0039] As an optional implementation, a limiting mechanism is provided on the stepping conveyor belt, and the limiting mechanism is a disc 11, and a limiting groove 111 matching the bottom of the can is provided on the disc 11.

[0040] In the above embodiment, by placing the cans into the limiting grooves 111 of the disc 11 , the cans can be stably moved on the stepping conveyor 1 , thereby ensuring the conveying efficiency.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism 31 includes a screw guide rail assembly 311 and a slider 312 . The axial direction of the screw guide rail assembly 311 is in the vertical direction. The slider 312 is slidably connected to the screw guide rail assembly 311 , and the connecting plate 322 is connected to the slider 312 .

[0042] In the above embodiment, the screw guide rail assembly 311 can ensure the stable operation of the pneumatic clamp 33 in rising and rotating, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, a first flange 7 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 322 close to the pneumatic clamp 33, and a second flange 8 is provided at one end of the cylinder clamp close to the connecting plate 322. Bolts pass through the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 to fix the pneumatic clamp 33 to the connecting plate 322.

[0044] In the above embodiment, since cans have different diameters, the pneumatic gripper 33 is disassembled and replaced with a pneumatic angle corresponding to the diameter of the can, thereby ensuring the sorting efficiency of different types of cans.

[0045] As an optional implementation, a sponge layer 3311 is provided inside the two arc-shaped clamping arms 331 .

[0046] In the above embodiment, the arc-shaped clamping arm 331 is prevented from clamping the can too tightly, thereby damaging the can.

[0047] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in the relevant technical field, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
