[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automatic packaging production line for rolled candies includes a first conveyor group, a second conveyor group and a weighing and packaging component. The first conveyor group and the second conveyor group can both convey candies to the weighing and packaging component. The first conveyor group and the second conveyor group are both provided with conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are provided with fine small grooves to reduce the contact area between the candies and the conveyor belt surface, thereby solving the problem of candies easily sticking to the conveyor belt during transportation.

[0007] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line of rolled round candies of the present invention, the first conveyor group includes a first climbing conveyor, a second climbing conveyor, a first transverse conveyor and a climbing elevator which are arranged in sequence.

[0008] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line for rolled round candies of the present invention, the second conveyor group includes a third climbing conveyor and a fourth climbing conveyor which are arranged in sequence.

[0009] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line of rolled round candies of the present invention, the weighing and packaging assembly includes a conveyor line, several second transverse conveyors, several weighing machines and a packaging machine. The candies are conveyed from the climbing elevator or the fourth climbing conveyor to the conveyor line, and then enter the weighing machine through the second transverse conveyor for weighing, and finally are packaged in the packaging machine.

[0010] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line of rolled round candies of the present invention, a telescopic structure is provided on the conveyor line. When the telescopic structure is retracted, the candies on the conveyor line fall to a second transverse conveyor. When the telescopic structure is extended, the conveyor line continues to transport the candies to the next second transverse conveyor.

[0011] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line of rolled round candies of the present invention, the telescopic structure includes a first roller, a second roller, a movable fixed frame and a cylinder, the second roller is arranged on the movable fixed frame, and the cylinder can drive the movable fixed frame to extend or retract.

[0012] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line of rolled round candies of the present invention, the conveyor line includes several conveyors, conveyor belts are provided on the conveyors, and transition blades are formed between adjacent conveyor belts. The transition blades are composed of a first bearing, a second bearing, a third bearing and a fourth bearing. The first bearing and the second bearing are used for conveying the first conveyor belt, and the third bearing and the fourth bearing are used for conveying the second conveyor belt. The first bearing is slightly higher than the position of the third bearing, and the distance between the first bearing and the third bearing is smaller than the distance between the second bearing and the fourth bearing. A small transition step is formed between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0013] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line of the rolled round candies of the utility model, the weighing machine is a combination scale.

[0014] As an improvement to the automatic packaging production line for rolled round candies of the present invention, a pneumatic vibrator is provided on the outer side wall of the discharge port of the weighing machine.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the utility model can realize the automatic packaging of rolled candies through ingenious structural design, and two conveyor lines share one packaging line, which can not only save space, but also save labor (previously, independent packaging required manual discharge, which required 11 people, but now only 4 are needed after connecting with this design), reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency (previously, independent packaging, 62.5 pieces per hour, 500 pieces per day; now 500 pieces per hour, 4,000 pieces per day), the process no longer needs to rotate and the risk of product hygiene contamination caused by manual discharge and packaging, and food safety is guaranteed, thereby solving the difficulties and pain points in the existing technology (the same industry still uses semi-automatic packaging), which is of great significance to the candy industry. At the same time, by arranging fine small grooves on the conveyor belt, the contact area can be reduced to prevent sticking; by arranging the conveyor belt on the conveyor, forming transition blades and installing small bearings between adjacent conveyor belts, reducing the transition gap and height difference between the conveyor belts to solve the technical problem of rolling and slipping of the rolled candies on each transition belt during the conveying process, thereby realizing the automatic transportation and packaging of the rolled candies.

[0017] Furthermore, the present invention uses a third and fourth climbing conveyors to lift the candies into the air, then transports them to a weighing and packaging assembly via a conveyor line, thereby enabling automatic weighing and packaging of the candies. This aerial transport frees up space for the transportation of various materials on the ground, resolving challenges such as limited space and poor human and material flow on the ground. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the first and second conveyor units maximizes utilization of irregularly shaped spaces. Through its ingenious structural arrangement, the present invention not only saves labor but also enables multifunctional automated control of multiple devices within a limited space. Each function is comprehensive and rational, ensuring smooth production and operation. The telescopic structure also allows for the simultaneous use of multiple packaging machines (when one packaging machine is full, the telescopic structure transports the candies to the next packaging machine), significantly improving production efficiency.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0033] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 1-13 As shown, the utility model provides an automatic packaging production line for rolled candies, including a first conveyor group 1, a second conveyor group 2 and a weighing and packaging component 3. The first conveyor group 1 and the second conveyor group 2 can both convey candies to the weighing and packaging component 3. The first conveyor group 1 and the second conveyor group 2 are both provided with conveyor belts, and the conveyor belts are provided with fine small grooves, which can reduce the contact area and prevent sticking, thereby realizing automatic transportation and packaging of rolled candies.

[0035] The first conveyor group 1 includes a first climbing conveyor 11, a second climbing conveyor 12, a first transverse conveyor 13, and a climbing elevator 14, which are arranged in sequence. The second conveyor group 2 includes a third climbing conveyor 21 and a fourth climbing conveyor 22, which are arranged in sequence. The first conveyor group 1 and the second conveyor group 2 are used to lift the round candies into the air, and then the round candies are transported to the weighing and packaging assembly 3 via a conveyor line, thereby realizing automatic weighing and packaging of the round candies. The aerial transportation method can free up space for the transportation of various materials on the ground, solving the problems of insufficient space on the ground and the flow of people and goods. In addition, by staggering the height of the first conveyor group 1 and the second conveyor group 2, full use can be made of irregular spaces. Through the ingenious structural arrangement, the utility model can not only save labor, but also realize multi-functional automatic control of multiple devices in a limited space. Each function is relatively complete and reasonable, and production and use are relatively smooth. The first climbing conveyor 11 , the second climbing conveyor 12 , the first transverse conveyor 13 , the climbing elevator 14 , the third climbing conveyor 21 and the fourth climbing conveyor 22 are not particularly limited as long as they can convey candies.

[0036] The weighing and packaging assembly 3 includes a conveyor line 31, several second transverse conveyors 32, several weighing machines 33 and a packaging machine. The candies are transported from the climbing elevator 14 or the fourth climbing conveyor 22 to the conveyor line 31, then enter the weighing machine 33 through the second transverse conveyor 32 for weighing, and finally are packaged in the packaging machine.

[0037] A telescopic structure 4 is provided on the conveyor line 31. When the telescopic structure 4 is retracted, the candies on the conveyor line 31 fall onto a second transverse conveyor 32. When the telescopic structure 4 is extended, the conveyor line 31 continues to transport the candies to the next second transverse conveyor 32. Through the design of the telescopic structure 4, the candies can be switched to different second transverse conveyors 32, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0038] The telescopic structure 4 includes a first roller 41, a second roller 42, a movable fixing frame 43 and a cylinder 44. The second roller 42 is arranged on the movable fixing frame 43, and the cylinder can drive the movable fixing frame 43 to extend or retract.

[0039] The conveyor line 31 includes several conveyors, each equipped with a conveyor belt. A transition edge 5 is formed between adjacent conveyor belts. The transition edge 5 comprises a first bearing 51, a second bearing 52, a third bearing 53, and a fourth bearing 54. The first and second bearings 51 and 52 are used for conveying the first conveyor belt 311, while the third and fourth bearings 53 and 54 are used for conveying the second conveyor belt 312. Rotating bearings prevent the conveyor belts from being cut, ensuring smooth transportation. The first bearing 51 is slightly higher than the third bearing 53, and the distance between the first and third bearings 51 and 53 is less than the distance between the second and fourth bearings 52 and 54. A small transition step is formed between the first and second conveyor belts 311 and 312 to prevent the rounded candies from being caught.

[0040] In the present invention, when the cylinder drives the movable fixing frame 43 to retract, the candies fall from the first conveyor belt 311 to the first second transverse conveyor 32, and are transported to the first weighing machine 33 for weighing and are packaged in the first packaging machine 34. When the first weighing machine 33 is full, the cylinder drives the movable fixing frame 43 to extend close to the second conveyor belt 312 until a small transition step is formed between the first conveyor belt 311 and the second conveyor belt 312. The candies fall from the first conveyor belt 311 to the second conveyor belt 312 for forward transportation, and then fall to the second second transverse conveyor 32. The candies are transported to the second weighing machine 32 and transported to the second weighing machine 33 for weighing and then packaged in the second packaging machine 34. In this embodiment, there is also a third weighing machine. When the second weighing machine 33 is full, the cylinder drives the movable fixing frame 43 to extend close to the third conveyor belt 313 until a small transition step is formed between the second conveyor belt 312 and the third conveyor belt 313. The candies fall from the second conveyor belt 312 to the third conveyor belt 313 for forward transportation, and then fall onto the third second transverse conveyor 32 and are transported to the third weighing machine 33 for weighing and then packaged in the third packaging machine.

[0041] The weighing machine 33 is a combination scale. A pneumatic vibrator 332 is installed on the outer wall of the discharge port 331 of the weighing machine 33. The discharge port 331 is also fixed to the box body via an elastic assembly 333. The elastic assembly 333 includes a spring stud 3331, a compression spring 3332 mounted on the spring stud 3331, and a fixing nut 3333 mounted on the spring stud 3331. This structure prevents material blockage and makes the weighing process smoother.

[0042] In short, the present invention can realize the automatic packaging of rolled candies through clever structural design, and two conveyor lines share one packaging line, which can not only save space, but also save labor (previously, independent packaging required manual discharge, which required 11 people, but now only 4 are needed after connecting with this design), reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency (previously, independent packaging, 62.5 pieces per hour, 500 pieces per day; now 500 pieces per hour, 4,000 pieces per day), the process no longer needs to rotate and the risk of product hygiene contamination caused by manual discharge and packaging, and food safety is guaranteed, thereby solving the difficulties and pain points in the existing technology (the same industry still uses semi-automatic packaging), which is of great significance to the candy industry. At the same time, by arranging fine small grooves on the conveyor belt, the contact area can be reduced to prevent sticking; by arranging the conveyor belt on the conveyor, forming transition blades and installing small bearings between adjacent conveyor belts, reducing the transition gap and height difference between the conveyor belts to solve the technical problem of rolling and slipping of the rolled candies on each transition belt during the conveying process, thereby realizing the automatic transportation and packaging of the rolled candies.

[0043] Those skilled in the art may also make changes and modifications to the above-described embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above. Modifications and changes to the thickness and material of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, although certain specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are for convenience only and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention.
