Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filling equipment, and more specifically to a semi-automatic filling machine for granular food. Background Art

[0002] Semi-automatic filling machine for granular or block food is a kind of mechanical equipment specially designed for packaging granular or block food, such as beans (red beans, mung beans, etc.), grains (corn, etc.), dried fruits and nuts (raisins, almonds, etc.). This kind of equipment is widely used in the food processing industry to improve production efficiency and ensure packaging quality.

[0003] The existing filling machine {such as the public (publication) number: CN116002106A, a filling method and filling equipment for canned corn production} can continuously fill canned corn, but the "filling equipment" has a relatively complex structure and is not suitable for use in small enterprises or small-scale production lines with relatively low technical requirements and initial investment costs. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a filling equipment that is more economical and relatively simple in structure and more suitable for use in small enterprises or small-scale production lines. Utility Model Content

[0017] The controller is fixedly installed on the first conveyor.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, there are multiple groups of the hoppers and they are arranged in an equidistant and straight line.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the side blocking mechanism includes a first cylinder fixedly installed on the first conveyor, a can passing baffle fixed to the output end of the first cylinder, and a plate gap formed between the first conveyor and the second conveyor. The output end of the first cylinder is vertically upward, and the can passing baffle moves within the plate gap and extends upward to form an enclosure cavity with the blocking frame for only the filling cans conveyed by the first conveyor to enter.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the material blocking assembly includes a second cylinder fixedly installed on the bracket, a blanking baffle fixed to the output end of the second cylinder, and a guiding groove provided on the bracket.

[0034] A bracket 3, which is fixedly installed on the first conveyor 1;

[0035] A tray 4 with a groove cavity at the top, which is fixedly installed at the top of the bracket 3, and the groove cavity is used for presetting granular food blocks (as shown in the figure, the tray 4 is disc-shaped, and the groove cavity is a cylindrical cavity centered at the top of the tray 4);

[0037] Among them, the hoppers 5 are provided with multiple groups and are arranged in an equidistant straight line, such as Figure 3 As shown, three groups of hoppers 5 are provided, and they are evenly arranged at the bottom of the tray 4 from left to right;

[0038] A retaining frame 6, which is fixedly installed on the bracket 3;

[0040] Such as Figure 1 、 2 、4 shown, specifically:

[0041] To implement the implementation and use of the above-mentioned side retaining mechanism 8, it is proposed that the specific structure and composition method of the volatilization component 5 can be: the side retaining mechanism 8 includes a first cylinder 81 fixedly installed on the first conveyor 1, a can-passing baffle 82 fixed to the output end of the first cylinder 81, and a plate gap 83 formed between the first conveyor 1 and the second conveyor 2;

After filling is completed, the first cylinder 81 operates, and the can-passing baffle 82 can be driven to move downward to provide the conveying connection of the filling cans forward to the second conveyor 2).

[0043] The material blocking assembly 9 is fixedly installed on the bracket 3 and is used to block and open the bottom ends of several groups of hoppers 5. When the bottom ends of the hoppers 5 are closed, granular food is loaded. When the bottom ends of the hoppers 5 are opened, the loaded granular food is placed into the filling cans for filling;

[0044] As Figure 1 , 2 , as shown in Figure 4, specifically:

[0045] To implement the above-mentioned implementation and use of the material blocking assembly 9, it is proposed that the specific structure and composition method of the material blocking assembly 9 can be: The material blocking assembly 9 includes a second cylinder 91 fixedly installed on the bracket 3, a blanking baffle 92 fixed to the output end of the second cylinder 91, and a guide groove 93 provided on the bracket 3;

The second cylinder 91 operates to move the blanking baffle 92 close to the bottom ends of several groups of hoppers 5 to block and open (as Figure 2 shown, when the second cylinder 91 operates, it can push the blanking baffle 92 to move left and right, so that the top end of the blanking baffle 92 blocks and opens at the bottom end of the hopper 5; and the blanking baffle 92 moves within the guide groove 93 to provide a guiding and supporting effect to enhance the movement stability of the blanking baffle 92);

[0047] The distance between the blanking baffle 92 and the hopper 5 should be as close as possible to prevent the granular food from escaping;

[0048] The material distribution mechanism 10 is fixedly installed on the material tray 4 and is used to fill the granular food into several groups of hoppers 5. The granular food in the cavity is placed into the hoppers 5, and is preset according to the quantification of the hoppers 5 to ensure that the amount of material fed into the filling cans is sufficient and balanced;

[0052] The pushing can mechanism 11 is fixedly installed on the support 3 and cooperates with the side baffle mechanism 8 to open, so as to push the filling cans below several groups of hoppers 5 towards the second conveyor 2 for conveying. According to the above, when the can passing baffle 82 moves downward to provide the conveying connection for the filling cans to move forward to the second conveyor 2, the filling cans can be pushed towards the second conveyor 2 through the pushing can mechanism 11;

[0053] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, specifically:
