DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any way.

[0027] Plastic bags are commonly used to package ice cream. However, these bags are difficult to degrade naturally after use and remain in the natural environment for a long time, placing a heavy burden on the ecosystem. This has led some manufacturers to switch to paper packaging. However, current paper-wrapped ice cream is often packaged manually, with sliced ​​ice cream arranged at fixed intervals on a conveyor line for manual packaging. However, manual packaging is not only inefficient but also has unstable hygienic quality, impacting the safety and quality stability of the final product.

[0028] Based on this, an exemplary embodiment of the present application provides an ice cream slicing and paper packaging production line, including a slicing device, a paper packaging device and a transfer device. The transfer device is mounted above the paper packaging device and can transfer the ice cream from the slicing device to the paper packaging device. The transfer device includes a robot mounted on a frame and an ice cream clamping mechanism arranged at the end of the robot; the ice cream clamping mechanism can clamp the ice cream and transfer the ice cream to the paper packaging device under the drive of the robot. In this way, automated ice cream paper packaging can be achieved, which not only improves the efficiency of ice cream paper packaging, but also avoids the health risks caused by manual paper packaging.

[0029] An exemplary embodiment of the present application provides an ice cream slicing and paper packaging production line, such as Figure 1 As shown, the production line includes a slicing device 10, a paper packaging device 30 and a transfer device 20; the paper packaging device 30 is set on one side of the slicing device 10; the transfer device 20 is set above the paper packaging device, and can transfer the ice cream 100A from the slicing device 10 to the paper packaging device 30. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the transfer equipment 20 includes a manipulator 22 mounted on a frame and an ice cream clamping mechanism 21 arranged at the execution end of the manipulator 22; the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 can clamp the ice cream 100A and, driven by the manipulator 22, transfer the ice cream 100A to the paper packaging equipment 30; in this way, automated ice cream paper packaging can be achieved, which not only improves the efficiency of ice cream paper packaging, but also avoids the health risks caused by manual paper packaging.

[0030] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 1 There are two sets of paper packaging equipment 30, namely the first paper packaging equipment and the second paper packaging equipment; the transfer equipment 20 is set above the first paper packaging equipment and the second paper packaging equipment. The transfer equipment 20 can grab two rows of ice cream 100A at the same time. First, one row of ice cream 100A is placed on the first paper packaging equipment, and then the other row of ice cream 100A is placed on the second paper packaging equipment. In this way, the ice cream 100A can be transferred from the slicing equipment 10 to the first paper packaging equipment and the second paper packaging equipment in sequence to improve the efficiency of ice cream paper packaging.

[0031] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the production line also includes an ice cream knocking mechanism 40, which is arranged on one side of the ice cream conveyor line of the slicing device 10. Along the conveying direction of the ice cream, the ice cream knocking mechanism 40 is located at the front end of the transfer device. The ice cream knocking mechanism 40 is used to knock the ice cream conveyor line to separate the ice cream 100A from the ice cream conveyor line. After the ice cream 100A is separated from the ice cream conveyor line, the transfer device transfers the ice cream 100A to the paper packaging device 30.

[0032] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 includes multiple groups of ice cream clamping assemblies 211 and clamping seats 212 arranged along the conveying direction of the ice cream 100A, and the ice cream clamping assemblies 211 are set on the clamping seats 212; illustratively, the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 may include multiple rows of ice cream clamping assemblies 211, and each row of ice cream assemblies includes multiple groups of ice cream clamping assemblies 211; multiple rows of ice cream clamping assemblies 211 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the ice cream, so that the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 can clamp multiple rows of ice cream 100A in turn to improve the clamping efficiency of the ice cream 100A. For example, in the present application, the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 includes two rows of ice cream clamping assemblies 211, and each row of ice cream clamping assemblies 211 includes fifteen ice cream clamping assemblies 211, so that the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 can clamp thirty ice creams 100A at a time. Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the ice cream clamping assembly 211 includes a fixed base 2121, a first drive unit 2122, a transmission assembly 2123, and a clamping claw assembly. The first drive unit 2122 and the transmission assembly 2123 are disposed within the fixed base 2121. The first drive unit 2122, the transmission assembly 2123, and the clamping claw assembly are sequentially connected in a transmission manner to achieve the opening and closing of the clamping claw assembly. Preferably, the first drive unit 2122 is a cylinder, and the protruding end of the first drive unit 2122 includes a rack segment. The transmission assembly 2123 includes gears that mesh with each other on both sides of the rack segment. In this way, the ice cream clamping assembly 211 can clamp the ice cream stick and transfer the ice cream 100A from the ice cream slicing line to the paper packaging line for the ice cream paper packaging process. The ice cream clamping mechanism 21 and the ice cream paper packaging line jointly realize automated ice cream paper packaging, which not only improves the efficiency of ice cream paper packaging, but also the driving unit and transmission assembly 2123 of the ice cream clamping assembly 211 are both arranged in the fixed seat 2121, and the wear impurities generated during the working process will not be released outside the fixed seat 2121, with higher hygiene quality.

[0033] like Figure 7 and 8As shown, the clamping jaw assembly includes a first clamping jaw 2124 and a second clamping jaw 2125, with clamping jaw openings positioned opposite each other. The first clamping jaw 2124 includes two clamping jaw units spaced apart from each other. A space is formed between the two clamping jaw units to accommodate the second clamping jaw 2125. Both the first clamping jaw 2124 and the second clamping jaw 2125 have a first claw portion 2126 and a second claw portion 2127. A clamping jaw opening with a predetermined angle is formed between the first claw portion 2126 and the second claw portion 2127. For example, to facilitate gripping popsicle sticks and accommodate different popsicle sizes, a larger clamping jaw opening is provided between the first claw portion 2126 and the second claw portion 2127. When clamping the popsicle stick, the first driving unit 2122 drives the first clamping claw 2124 and the second clamping claw 2125 to approach each other, and the end of the first claw 2126 of the second clamping claw 2125 extends into the accommodating space, and the end of the second claw 2127 of the second clamping claw 2125 and the end of the second claw 2127 of the first clamping claw 2124 move to the same point to form a stable clamping support and firmly clamp the popsicle 100A.

[0034] The distance between the ice cream 100A on the ice cream slicing line is different from the spacing between the ice cream 100A on the ice cream paper packaging line. Therefore, after grabbing the ice cream 100A, the distance between the ice cream clamping components 211 needs to be changed to adjust the distance between the ice cream 100A. In one embodiment, Figure 4 and 5As shown, the clamping seat 212 is provided with two sliding shafts 2112 arranged side by side and two second drive units 2111. The second drive units 2111 are preferably cylinders. The fixed ends of the two cylinders are both arranged in the middle of the clamping seat 212. The two cylinders are arranged back to back, with their extended ends pointing to the ends of the clamping seat 212 and connected to the ice cream clamping assembly 211. The ice cream clamping assembly 211 also includes a sliding seat 2128 arranged on the fixed seat 2121. The sliding seat 2128 is slidably arranged on the sliding shaft 2112. A spacer 2113 is provided on the sliding shaft 2112, and a spacer 2113 is provided between each two sliding seats 2128. In this way, the spacer 2113 can define the minimum spacing between each ice cream clamping assembly 211. The clamping seat 212 also includes a limit plate with a limit slot formed therein; the fixed seat 2121 of the ice cream clamping assembly 211 is also provided with a limit block 2129 assembly; the limit block 2129 assembly is movably arranged in the limit slot. For example, two upper and lower clamping spaces can be provided on the limit block 2129, and adjacent limit plates are clamped in the clamping spaces at different heights. This facilitates that when the ice cream clamping assembly 211 changes distance, the limit plates can partially overlap without affecting the movement of the ice cream clamping assembly 211. During the process of changing distance of the ice cream clamping assembly 211, the limit block 2129 moves in the limit slot. The length of the limit slot and the setting of the spacer 2113 jointly limit the distance of change of the ice cream clamping assembly 211. In this way, after clamping the ice cream 100A, the ice cream clamping mechanism 21 can change the distance according to the preset spacing of each ice cream on the ice cream paper packaging line, so as to accurately transfer the ice cream to the ice cream paper packaging line.
