[0002] Food processing enterprises usually set up production lines dedicated to the production of a certain kind of food in the processing workshop and strictly control the quality of food. The food packaging production line usually has a weighing mechanism, which weighs the already packaged food and determines whether the food is qualified according to the standard weight.

[0003] In the prior art, it is generally necessary to manually weigh the packaged food and pick out those with unqualified weights, so as to complete the sorting work of unqualified products. The whole sorting process usually relies on manual labor and requires a lot of labor costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new technical solution to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a food conveyor line with a weight sorting function.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: A food conveyor line with a weight sorting function includes a frame. One end of the frame is provided with a feeding conveyor belt that conveys materials obliquely upward. Inside the frame, at the tail end of the feeding conveyor belt, there is a weighing conveyor belt parallel to the feeding conveyor belt. A weighing module is arranged inside the weighing conveyor belt. Inside the frame, at the tail end of the weighing conveyor belt, there is a sorting conveyor belt. One end of the sorting conveyor belt facing the weighing conveyor belt is hinged to the frame, and it also includes a driving member for driving the sorting conveyor belt to rotate inside the frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, when the food is packaged into bags, it is conveyed to the bottom end of the feeding conveyor belt. The bagged food is conveyed along the feeding conveyor belt to the weighing conveyor belt, and its weight is detected by the weighing module. If its weight does not meet the requirements, driven by the driving member, the tail end of the sorting conveyor belt deflects downward, so that the bagged food enters the sorting conveyor belt and leaves the conveyor line from the bottom of the frame. If its weight meets the requirements, under the action of the driving member, the tail end of the sorting conveyor belt deflects upward, so that the bagged food leaves the conveyor line from the top of the frame, in order to separate the products with unqualified weights, effectively improving the sorting efficiency.

[0008] The utility model is further arranged as follows: The driving member includes an electric cylinder arranged at the bottom of the frame. The tail end of the electric cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the frame, and the end of its piston rod is hinged to the bottom of the sorting conveyor belt.

[0009] The present utility model is further configured as follows: At the tail end of the material distribution conveyor belt on the frame, a material pressing assembly is further provided. The material pressing assembly includes a lower material pressing conveyor belt arranged at the tail end of the frame on the material distribution conveyor belt. The driving member rotates the material distribution conveyor belt to make the lower material pressing conveyor belt, the material distribution conveyor belt, the weighing conveyor belt, and the material receiving conveyor belt located on the same conveying plane. Above the lower material pressing conveyor belt, an upper material pressing conveyor belt parallel to the lower material pressing conveyor belt is further provided, and an adjusting member for adjusting the distance between the upper material pressing conveyor belt and the lower material pressing conveyor belt is further included.

[0010] The present utility model is further configured as follows: On both sides of the frame, support rods perpendicular to the upper material pressing conveyor belt are provided. Between the two support rods, a mounting frame is slidably connected along the length direction thereof. The upper material pressing conveyor belt is mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame. Between the tops of the two support rods, a fixing plate is fixedly connected. The adjusting member includes a screw rod rotatably connected to the fixing plate. The screw rod passes through and is threadedly connected to the mounting frame. At the top of the screw rod, a handle for driving the screw rod is provided.

[0011] The present utility model is further configured as follows: On one side of the frame where the weighing conveyor belt is located, a side plate perpendicular to the weighing conveyor belt is provided. At the top of the side plate, a connecting plate parallel to and located above the weighing conveyor belt is provided. A vision camera for observing the surface of the weighing conveyor belt is mounted on the lower surface of the connecting plate.

[0012] The present utility model is further configured as follows: It further includes a controller. The driving member, the weighing module, the weighing conveyor belt, and the vision camera are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] The present utility model has the following beneficial effects: When the food is bagged, it is conveyed to the bottom end of the material receiving conveyor belt. The bagged food is conveyed to the weighing conveyor belt along the material receiving conveyor belt. The weighing module detects its weight. If its weight does not meet the requirements, driven by the driving member, the tail end of the material distribution conveyor belt deflects downward, so that the bagged food enters the material distribution conveyor and leaves the conveying line from the bottom of the frame. If its weight meets the requirements, under the action of the driving member, the tail end of the material distribution conveyor belt deflects upward, so that the bagged food leaves the conveying line from the top of the frame, so as to separate the products with unqualified weight, effectively improving the material separation efficiency.

[0020] As shown in the figure, a food conveyor line with a weight sorting function includes a frame 1. At one end of the frame 1, there is a feeding conveyor belt 2 that conveys materials obliquely upwards. Inside the frame 1, at the tail end of the feeding conveyor belt 2, there is a weighing conveyor belt 3 parallel to the feeding conveyor belt 2. Inside the weighing conveyor belt 3, there is a weighing module 4. Inside the frame 1, at the tail end of the weighing conveyor belt 3, there is a material distribution conveyor belt 5. One end of the material distribution conveyor belt 5 facing the weighing conveyor belt 3 is hinged to the frame 1. It also includes a driving member 6 for driving the material distribution conveyor belt 5 to rotate inside the frame 1.

[0021] When the food is packed in bags, it is conveyed to the bottom end of the feeding conveyor belt 2. The bagged food is conveyed along the feeding conveyor belt 2 to the weighing conveyor belt 3. The weighing module 4 detects its weight. If its weight does not meet the requirements, driven by the driving member 6, the tail end of the material distribution conveyor belt 5 deflects downwards, so that the bagged food enters the material distribution conveyor belt and leaves the conveyor line from the bottom of the frame 1. If its weight meets the requirements, under the action of the driving member 6, the tail end of the material distribution conveyor belt 5 deflects upwards, so that the bagged food leaves the conveyor line from the top of the frame 1, in order to separate the products with unqualified weights, effectively improving the sorting efficiency.

[0022] The driving member 6 includes an electric cylinder arranged at the bottom of the frame 1. The tail end of the electric cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the frame 1, and the end of its piston rod is hinged to the bottom of the material distribution conveyor belt 5. By the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the electric cylinder, the angle of the material distribution conveyor belt 5 can be adjusted.

[0023] At the end of the material distribution conveyor belt 5, a pressing component is further provided on the frame 1. The pressing component includes a lower pressing conveyor belt 7 provided at the end of the frame 1 where the material distribution conveyor belt 5 is located. The driving member 6 controls the rotation of the material distribution conveyor belt 5, so that the lower pressing conveyor belt 7, the material distribution conveyor belt 5, the weighing conveyor belt 3 and the receiving conveyor belt 2 are located on the same conveying plane. Above the lower pressing conveyor belt 7, an upper pressing conveyor belt 8 parallel to the lower pressing conveyor belt 7 is further provided. An adjusting member for adjusting the distance between the upper pressing conveyor belt 8 and the lower pressing conveyor belt 7 is also included.

[0024] When the weight of the product meets the requirements, driven by the driving member 6, the lower pressing conveyor belt 7, the material distribution conveyor belt 5, the weighing conveyor belt 3 and the receiving conveyor belt 2 are located on the same conveying plane, so that the product enters the surface of the lower pressing conveyor belt. After the product passes between the lower pressing conveyor belt 7 and the upper pressing conveyor belt 8, the product is compacted and flattened for subsequent storage and transportation.

[0025] On both sides of the frame 1, there are support rods 9 perpendicular to the upper pressing conveyor belt 8. Between the two support rods 9, a mounting frame 10 is slidably connected along its length direction. The upper pressing conveyor belt 8 is installed in the mounting frame 10. Between the tops of the two support rods 9, a fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected. The adjusting member includes a screw rod 12 rotatably connected to the fixing plate 11. The screw rod 12 passes through and is threadedly connected to the mounting frame 10. At the top of the screw rod 12, a handle 13 for driving the screw rod 12 is provided. By means of the handle 13, the distance between the upper pressing conveyor belt 8 and the lower pressing conveyor belt 7 can be adjusted to carry out the pressing work on products of different specifications, weights and sizes.

[0026] On one side of the frame 1 where the weighing conveyor belt 3 is located, a side plate 14 perpendicular to the weighing conveyor belt 3 is provided. At the top of the side plate 14, a connecting plate 15 parallel to and above the weighing conveyor belt 3 is provided.

The driving member 6, the weighing module 4, the weighing conveyor belt 3 and the vision camera 16 are all electrically connected to the controller 17.

[0027] When the vision camera 16 detects that the product passes through the weighing module 4, it transmits its vision signal to the controller 17. The controller 17 controls the weighing conveyor belt 3 to stop working. At the same time, the weighing module weighs the product and transmits the obtained weight information to the controller 17. The controller 17 controls the driving member 6 to adjust the angle of the material distribution conveyor belt 5 according to the weight information obtained by the weighing module 4, and at the same time controls the weighing conveyor belt 3 to work again, so as to carry out an automatic and efficient material distribution work on the product.
