[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Embodiment: An intelligent milk packaging device, as Figure 1 - Figure 5 shown, includes a product processing table 1, a conveyor belt body 2, and multiple groups of milk carton bodies 201 conveyed on the conveyor belt body 2. A driving motor 202 for driving the rotation of the conveyor belt body 2 is provided outside the product processing table 1. As shown in the figure, the product processing table 1 has an L-shaped structure, and the top of the product processing table 1 is hollowed out, and the conveyor belt body 2 is located inside the hollowed-out part at the top of the product processing table 1, transporting the milk carton body 201 from one end of the product processing table 1 to the other end of the product processing table 1;

[0031] The product processing table 1 is provided with a calibration channel 101 whose width first becomes narrower and then parallel, and anti-offset roller assemblies are provided on both sides of the opening of each calibration channel 101. The anti-offset roller assembly includes a calibration groove 103 opened at the opening of the calibration channel 101 and a vertical roller rod 6 located inside the calibration groove 103. A liftable filling device is provided on the calibration channel 101, and an induction device frame is located above the openings at both ends of the calibration channel 101. Among them, at least three groups of vertical roller rods 6 are provided inside each calibration groove 103.

[0032] As Figure 2As shown, the calibration channel 101 is composed of a trapezoidal channel connected to a rectangular channel, and the width of the rectangular channel is the same as the width of the housing of the control end 3.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the perfusion device includes a milk perfusion device table 4 and a first gantry 5. Among them, the milk perfusion device table 4 is adapted to the rectangular channel in the calibration channel 101. A perfusion interface 402 along the length direction is opened at the bottom of the milk perfusion device table 4, and a cylinder 501 for driving the milk perfusion device table 4 to lift is arranged at the top of the milk perfusion device table 4.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, both of the induction device frames include a second gantry 502 and an image sensor 503 at the bottom of the second gantry 502. The two groups of induction device frames can position the milk carton bodies 201 inside the calibration channel 101 conveyed by the conveyor belt body 2 below. When a milk carton body 201 reaches the bottommost position at the tail of the calibration channel 101, the conveyor belt body 2 stops running at this time, and the perfusion device moves downward. At this time, multiple groups of milk carton bodies 201 on the conveyor belt body 2 are vertically butted with multiple groups of corresponding perfusion interfaces 402 at the bottom of the milk perfusion device table 4, and milk can be quickly injected into the multiple groups of butted milk carton bodies 201. Positioning and injection are carried out in batches at one time, improving the processing efficiency.

[0035] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, clamping grooves 102 are symmetrically opened on the inner side of the upper part of the rectangular channel of the calibration channel 101, and the perfusion device is connected to the docking protrusions 401 at both outer ends of the milk perfusion device table 4. Each docking protrusion 401 on each side of the milk perfusion device table 4 corresponds to the clamping groove 102 below up and down. By arranging the clamping grooves 102 inside the calibration channel 101 and connecting the outer side of the milk perfusion device table 4 with the docking protrusions 401 corresponding to the clamping grooves 102 up and down, the milk perfusion device table 4 can be stably positioned up and down before and after milk is perfused into the corresponding milk carton body 201 below the perfusion interface 402, preventing the milk perfusion device table 4 from shifting during the lifting process and resulting in unstable docking with the upper openings of multiple groups of milk carton bodies below.

[0036] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a control console is provided on the outer side of the product processing table 1. The control console includes a control end 3 and a rotating shaft 302 at the bottom of the control end 3. The rotating shaft 302 is installed on the outer side of the product processing table 1. A rotatable cross plate 301 is provided between the rotating shaft 302 and the control end 3. The control console of this device can be adjusted to rotate horizontally, which is convenient for technicians to observe the processing status of the milk carton body 201 on the calibration channel 101 while controlling the start and stop of the cylinder 501, the image sensor 503, and the milk perfusion device table 4 through the control end 3.

[0037] The working principle of the present utility model: In the above milk intelligent packaging device, the main effects are reflected in the efficient and accurate milk perfusion and the stable positioning of the milk carton. The realization of this effect depends on the close cooperation between multiple structures, specifically as follows:

[0038] 1. Analysis of the cooperation structure between the calibration channel and the anti-offset roller assembly: The calibration channel 101 is designed to first narrow and then be parallel, gradually adjusting the milk cartons to a unified width. Such a design helps to ensure the accuracy of the position of the milk cartons during the perfusion process.

[0039] The vertical roller rod 6 in the anti-offset roller assembly is located inside the calibration groove 103. By contacting the side wall of the milk carton, it prevents the milk carton from shifting left and right during the conveying process, further ensuring the accurate position of the milk carton when it enters the perfusion area.

[0040] The cooperation of this structure effectively ensures the stability and accuracy of the milk carton during the conveying and perfusion processes, greatly reducing the problems of poor docking and leakage irrigation caused by position offset of the milk carton during the perfusion process, and ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of milk perfusion.

[0041] 2. Stable docking of the perfusion device and the calibration channel

[0042] Structural analysis: The milk perfusion device table 4 is arranged above the calibration channel 101. The perfusion interface 402 at its bottom is arranged along the length direction and is docked with the opening on the milk carton body 201 for milk perfusion. The perfusion device is driven by the cylinder 501 to lift and lower. At the same time, the docking convex block 401 on the outer side of the milk perfusion device table 4 cooperates with the card slot 102 provided on the calibration channel 101 to ensure that the perfusion device always remains aligned with the milk carton during the lifting and lowering process, avoiding deviation.

[0043] The design of this docking structure ensures the accurate docking between the perfusion device and the milk carton body, and will not cause misalignment or poor docking even during multiple lifting and lowering processes, thereby improving the perfusion efficiency and perfusion accuracy. Through the stable positioning structure, the problems of milk spillage or uneven perfusion can be effectively avoided.

[0044] 3. Coordination between the Induction Device Frame and the Control Console

[0045] The induction device frame consists of a second gantry 502 and an image sensor 503. The image sensor is used to monitor the arrival of the milk carton body 201 and promptly feedback to the control terminal 3. The control console can be horizontally rotated and adjusted, enabling technicians to conveniently monitor and control the perfusion process in real time through the control terminal 3 to ensure the synchronization of each step.

[0046] The use of the image sensor ensures that perfusion starts only after the milk carton is accurately in place within the calibration channel 101, avoiding perfusion problems caused by uneven conveyor belt speed or misaligned milk cartons. The flexible adjustment function of the control console also enhances the convenience of operation and the overall intelligent level of the equipment.

[0047] Improved stability: Through the design of the calibration channel 101 and the function of the anti-offset roller assembly, the stability during the entire perfusion process has been greatly improved, reducing the risk of milk cartons tipping over or being misaligned.

[0048] Convenience of equipment maintenance: The rotating design of the control console not only improves the convenience of operation but also facilitates the maintenance and servicing of the equipment. Technicians can easily adjust and repair various parts of the equipment.

[0049] In summary, through precise structural design and the close cooperation of each part, the intelligent milk packaging device realizes an efficient, accurate, and safe milk perfusion process, while ensuring the convenience of operation and the stability of the equipment. This structural design not only improves production efficiency but also reduces potential quality problems during the production process, effectively meeting the requirements of modern milk production.

[0050] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
