[0088] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0089] It should be noted that "fixed to" and "connected to" herein can be directly fixed or connected to an element, or indirectly fixed or connected to an element.

[0090] As Figures 1-4 shown, an ice cream filling and packaging machine provided in this embodiment includes a machine base 100. The machine base 100 includes a base. A plurality of columns 110 are provided on the top surface of the base. The plurality of columns 110 are distributed in a circular array. A sealing door 120 is provided between every two adjacent columns 110. The sealing door 120 is hinged to one of the columns 110 to achieve opening and closing. A top cover 130 is provided on the top of all the columns 110 for sealing the top, so that the columns 110, the sealing door 120, the top cover 130 and the base cooperate to form a first accommodation cavity 140. A rotating disk 170 is provided in the first accommodation cavity 140. A second accommodation cavity 150 is formed inside the base. A rotating motor 154 is provided in the second accommodation cavity 150. The motor shaft of the rotating motor 154 is connected to the rotating disk 170 to drive the rotating disk 170 to rotate.

[0091] The rotating motor 154 described in this embodiment adopts a motor in the prior art, as long as it can realize the rotation of the rotating disk 170, and the rotation angle and time are controllable. This embodiment preferably adopts a servo motor.

[0092] On the machine base 100, at a position inside the first accommodation cavity 140, a lower cup mechanism 300, a lower film mechanism 400, a sealing mechanism 500, a spoon placing mechanism 600, a lower cover pressing mechanism 700 and a finished product output mechanism 800 are sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the rotating disk 170, so that during the process of the rotating disk 170 being driven to rotate by the rotating motor 154, the processes of cup body 322 feeding, filling, cup film 422 feeding, sealing, spoon body 622 feeding, cover body 722 feeding and capping, and discharging are sequentially realized.

[0093] A plurality of fixed molds 200 are provided on the rotating disk 170. The fixed molds 200 are hollow and form fixing holes 210 for placing the cup body 322, and the plurality of fixed molds 200 are arranged in a circular array.

[0094] A controller 900 is provided on any one of the sealing doors 120. The controller 900 is electrically connected to the lower cup mechanism 300, the lower film mechanism 400, the sealing mechanism 500, the spoon placing mechanism 600, the lower cover capping mechanism 700, and the finished product output mechanism 800 respectively.

[0095] An opening 160 is formed between the upright column 110 and the sealing door 120 for the finished product output mechanism 800 to extend to the outside of the first accommodating cavity 140, so as to discharge the filled ice cream cups.

[0096] A first light curtain electric eye 141 is provided on the machine base 100 at a position between the lower cup mechanism 300 and the lower film mechanism 400. The probe of the first light curtain electric eye 141 is located below the rotating disk 170 and towards the fixing hole 210 of the fixed mold 200, and is used to detect whether the cup body 322 is placed in the fixed mold 200 by the lower cup mechanism 300.

[0097] A filling station 143 is formed between the first light curtain electric eye 141 and the lower film mechanism 400. In actual use, it cooperates with the filling equipment to fill the ice cream into the cup body 322. The filling equipment can adopt the ice cream filling equipment in the prior art.

[0098] It can be understood that the filling station 143 can be Figure 4 as shown, either of the two first workstations and the second workstation located between the first light curtain electric eye 141 and the lower film mechanism 400 is acceptable.

[0099] A second light curtain electric eye 142 is provided between the lower film mechanism 400 and the sealing mechanism 500. The probe of the second light curtain electric eye 142 is located above the rotating disk 170 and towards the fixed mold 200, and is used to detect whether the lower film mechanism 400 places the cup sealing film 422 on the cup body 322.

[0100] Both the first light curtain electric eye 141 and the second light curtain electric eye 142 described in this embodiment are light curtain electric eyes in the prior art.

[0101] Moreover, the workstation corresponding to the second light curtain electric eye 142 can also be reserved for coding the cup sealing film 422.

[0102] A plurality of support rods 180 are provided at the bottom of the base 100 to support the base 100 and improve the placement stability. A plurality of sliding wheels 190 are also provided to improve the mobility of the base 100. It can be understood that either the support rod 180 or the sliding wheel 190 can be connected to the base 100 by using an existing lifting rod structure to avoid the situation where the sliding wheel 190 cannot touch the ground and cannot move when the support rod 180 is supporting, or the support rod 180 touches the ground and is damaged when the sliding wheel 190 is moving.

[0103] Combined Figure 5 with Figure 6 As shown, the lower cup mechanism 300 includes a first mounting box 310 fixed on the base 100. At the top of the first mounting box 310, there is a first mounting plate 320 located above the rotating disk 170. At one end of the top of the first mounting plate 320 near the rotating disk 170, there is a first accommodating member 321. The first accommodating member 321 is a structure with a cavity inside formed by a plurality of columns distributed in an annular array. A plurality of cup bodies 322 are stacked inside the first accommodating member 321. A first blanking port 323 is formed on the first mounting plate 320 so that the cup bodies 322 in the first accommodating member 321 can fall into the fixed mold 200 on the rotating disk 170 through the first blanking port 323.

[0104] A first driving cylinder body 331 is provided in the second accommodating cavity 150. The piston of the first driving cylinder body 331 is connected with a first connecting plate 332. A first receiving plate 330 is connected to the first connecting plate 332. A first adsorbing member 333 is provided on the first receiving plate 330. The first connecting plate 332 and the first receiving plate 330 are connected by a structure of a lifting shaft and a shaft sleeve. The first connecting plate 332 is located in the second accommodating cavity 150, and the first receiving plate 330 is located in the first accommodating cavity 140. The first receiving plate 330 and the first adsorbing member 333 adsorb the cup bodies 322 located in the first accommodating member 321 through the fixing hole 210 and the first blanking port 323 under the drive of the first driving cylinder body 331, so that the cup bodies 322 are fixed in the fixing hole 210 during the process of following the reset of the first adsorbing member 333, realizing the automatic feeding of the cup bodies 322.

[0105] The first driving cylinder body 331 described in this embodiment adopts an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder in the prior art. In this embodiment, an air cylinder is preferably used. The first adsorbing member 333 is a suction cup structure in the prior art.

[0106] It can be understood that during the feeding process of the cup body 322, a structure is required to prevent the cup body 322 from directly falling from the first blanking port 323. Therefore, a first limiting flange 370 is provided in the first blanking port 323. A number of elastic limiting pieces (not shown in the figure, the same below) are installed at the bottom of the first limiting flange 370 by means of screws or pin shafts. The elastic limiting pieces can elastically deform and at most partially block the bottom of the cup body 322 to play a role in supporting the cup body 322. The elastic limiting pieces are used to maintain the cup body 322 in the first accommodating member 321 under normal conditions, and under the adsorption force and reset force of the first adsorbing member 333, it breaks through the limitation of the elastic limiting pieces and separates from the other cup bodies 322 and enters the fixed mold 200.

[0107] Moreover, a mechanism capable of separating the stacked cup bodies 322 is required to avoid the situation where multiple cup bodies 322 are placed in the fixed mold 200 during a single blanking process. A swing cylinder 340 is provided at the bottom of the first mounting plate 320. The piston of the swing cylinder 340 extends to the top of the first mounting plate 320 and is connected with a pushing block 341. Two oppositely arranged clamping arms 350 are provided on the first mounting plate 320. One end of the clamping arm 350 is connected with a rotating member 351 that is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 320, and the other end clamps on the outer wall of the cup body 322.

[0108] During use, first, the clamping arms 350 clamp on the outer wall of the cup body 322 on the upper layer of the cup body 322 at the bottommost layer. After the cup body 322 at the bottommost layer is adsorbed and taken away by the first adsorbing member 333, the rising of the piston rod of the swing cylinder 340 is used to drive the pushing block 341 to push the rotating protrusion 352 on the rotating member 351, so that the rotating member 351 rotates on the first mounting plate 320, driving the clamping arms 350 to swing and separate from the cup body 322, enabling the cup body 322 to descend to the position of the elastic limiting piece and then reset to clamp on the outer wall of the cup body 322 on the upper layer of the cup body 322 at the bottommost layer again.

[0109] A reset spring 360 is provided between the two clamping arms 350. Both ends of the reset spring 360 are connected to the clamping arm 350 on the same side, and are used to help the clamping arm 350 reset to clamp the cup body 322.

[0110] Combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the lower film mechanism 400 includes a second mounting box 410 fixed on the machine base 100. At the top of the second mounting box 410, there is a second mounting plate 420 located above the rotating disk 170. At one end of the top of the second mounting plate 420 close to the rotating disk 170, there is a fourth receiving member 421. The fourth receiving member 421 is a structure with a cavity inside formed by a number of columns arranged in a circular array. A number of sealing cup films 422 are stacked in the fourth receiving member 421.

[0111] Between the bottom of the second mounting plate 420 and the machine base 100, there are two oppositely arranged first guide rods 430. On the first guide rods 430, there is a first lifting block 440. The first lifting block 440 is connected to a second driving cylinder 470 arranged in the second accommodating cavity 150 and reciprocates in the axial direction of the first guide rods 430 under the drive of the second driving cylinder 470.

[0112] On the first lifting block 440, there is a first rotating shaft 441. At the end of the first rotating shaft 441 close to the rotating disk 170, there is at least one second adsorbing member 442. In this embodiment, preferably two second adsorbing members 442 are provided. At the other end of the first rotating shaft 441, there is a first rotating block 443. On the first rotating block 443, there is a first rotating spring 450. The other end of the first rotating spring 450 is connected to the first lifting block 440 through structures such as screws or bolts. A first sliding disk 490 is connected to the first rotating block. At the bottom of the second mounting plate 420, there is a first guide plate 460 located on the side of the first rotating block 443. On the side wall of the first guide plate 460 facing the first rotating block 443, there is a first flipping groove 461. The outer peripheral wall of the first sliding disk 490 touches the side wall of the first guide plate 460 facing the first rotating block 443.

[0113] During actual use, the first lifting block 440 rises and falls in the axial direction of the first guide rods 430 under the drive of the second driving cylinder 470, thereby driving the first rotating block 443 arranged on the first rotating shaft 441 to rise and fall. During the rising process, the first sliding disk 490 enters the first flipping groove 461 under the action of the first rotating spring 450, causing the first rotating shaft 441 to rotate and turning the second adsorbing member 442 facing the rotating disk 170 to face the second mounting plate 420, so as to adsorb the sealing cup films 422 in the fourth receiving member 421. Similarly, during the descending process, the second adsorbing member 442 resets to face the rotating disk 170 and places the sealing cup films 422 on the cup body 322 of the fixed mold 200 for subsequent sealing.

[0114] It can be understood that a third blanking port 423 needs to be opened at the position of the second mounting plate 420 corresponding to the fourth receiving member 421 for blanking the cup sealing film 422, and a second limiting flange 480 is arranged in the third blanking port 423. Elastic limiting pieces similar to those at the bottom of the first limiting flange 370 are arranged at the bottom of the second limiting flange 480 to prevent the cup sealing film 422 from falling automatically.

[0115] It can be understood that a film pressing block 424 is arranged in the fourth receiving member 421 to press the cup sealing film 422 to improve the stability of the cup sealing film 422 in the fourth receiving member 421.

[0116] The second driving cylinder body 470 described in this embodiment adopts an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder in the prior art. An air cylinder is preferably used in this embodiment, and the second adsorbing member 442 is a suction cup structure in the prior art.

[0117] Combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the sealing mechanism 500 includes a first fixing frame 510 arranged on the machine base 100. A rotatable rotating plate 520 is arranged at the top of the first fixing frame 510. A sealing cylinder body 521 is arranged at the top of the rotating plate 520.

The outer peripheral wall of the second sliding disk 780 is in contact with the side wall of the second guide plate 760 facing the second rotating block 742.

[0130] During actual use, the second lifting block 740 rises and falls in the axial direction of the second guide rods 730 under the drive of the fourth driving cylinder body 790, thereby driving the second rotating block 742 arranged on the second rotating shaft 741 to rise and fall. During the rising process, the second sliding disk 780 enters the second flipping groove 761 under the action of the second rotating spring 750, causing the second rotating shaft 741 to rotate so that the seat body 743 and the third adsorbing member 744 facing the rotating disk 170 are rotated to face the fourth mounting plate 720, so as to adsorb the cover body 722 in the third accommodating member 721. Similarly, during the descending process, the seat body 743 and the third adsorbing member 744 are reset to face the rotating disk 170 to cover the cover body 722 on the cup body 322 of the fixed mold 200, so that the spoon body 622 is located between the sealing cup film 422 and the cover body 722, completing the filling and packaging of the ice cream cup.

[0131] The fourth driving cylinder block 790 described in this embodiment is a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder in the prior art. A cylinder is preferably used in this embodiment. The third adsorbent 744 is a sucker structure in the prior art.

[0132] Combined with Figure 15 As shown, the finished product output mechanism 800 includes a conveyor belt 810 fixed on the machine base 100.

[0138] When the ice cream filling and packaging machine of this embodiment is working, the first accommodating cavity 140 is closed by the sealing door 120 and the top cover 130, and only the opening 160 is left for discharging and opening some single sealing doors 120 for the pipelines of the filling equipment to enter for filling, thereby reducing the noise pollution of the ice cream filling and packaging machine during operation as a whole.

[0139] The working steps of an ice cream filling and packaging machine provided in this embodiment are as follows:

[0140] First, the controller 900 controls the cup placing mechanism 300 to start and place the cup body 322 into the empty fixed mold 200.

[0141] Then, the first light curtain photoelectric eye detects whether the cup body 322 has been placed.

[0142] Then, the first light curtain photoelectric eye feeds back to the controller 900 whether the cup body 322 has been placed, and the controller 900 controls the lower film mechanism 400 to place the cup sealing film 422 into the fixed mold 200 containing the cup body 322.

[0143] Then, the second light curtain photoelectric eye detects whether the cup sealing film 422 has been placed.

[0144] Then, the second light curtain photoelectric eye feeds back to the controller 900 whether the cup sealing film 422 has been placed, and the controller 900 controls the sealing mechanism 500 to perform hot melt sealing treatment on the cup sealing film 422 and the cup body 322 of the fixed mold 200 where the cup sealing film 422 has been placed.

[0145] Then, the controller 900 controls the spoon placing mechanism 600 to place the spoon body 622 on the ice cream cup that has been sealed.

[0146] Then, the controller 900 controls the lower cover pressing mechanism 700 to place the cover body 722 on the ice cream cup on which the spoon body 622 has been placed, and presses down the cover body 722 to make it cover and combine with the cup body 322.

[0147] Finally, the controller 900 controls the finished product output mechanism 800 to transport the filled and packaged ice cream cup out of the first accommodating cavity 140.

[0148] During the whole working process, the rotating disk 170 rotates a fixed angle at a rated time interval under the drive of the rotating motor 154, so that each mechanism operates continuously, improving the efficiency.
