Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food production technology, specifically to a dual-channel quantitative device and sausage production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, sausages are generally made by automated machines. The process includes filling and tying. The advantages of tying include a higher meat yield, less casing, and no deformation. However, its disadvantages include inaccurate weight measurement because the sausage must be filled before being threaded into the tying machine. Since the filled sausage (approximately 14-18 meters) is placed on a workbench, the process is usually done manually, which can cause unevenness inside the sausage. Secondly, during the filling process, the sausage is directly placed into the workbench after filling, without a traction mechanism to guide it. This can lead to excessive compression and unevenness. Therefore, a traction mechanism, also called a homogenizing machine, is usually installed at the rear of the filling machine. However, the traction mechanism plus the workbench takes up 3 square meters of space, which is quite large. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-channel quantitative device, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0005] A dual-channel metering device is disposed between a filling machine and a tying machine. The dual-channel metering device includes a diversion mechanism and a moving mechanism for driving the diversion mechanism to move between the filling machine and the tying machine. The diversion mechanism includes a diversion component, a connecting component connecting the diversion component and the filling machine, and a discharge component connecting the diversion component and the tying machine. The diversion component includes two metering rotor pumps and a motor for driving the metering rotor pumps to rotate.

[0006] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the flow diversion assembly further includes a protective shell for accommodating the two quantitative rotor pumps. The quantitative rotor pump includes an outer stator, a rotor rotatably disposed in the outer stator, and a plurality of blades connected to the rotor. The blades are movably disposed along the radial direction of the rotor. There is a flow space between the outer stator and the rotor for the passage of the sausage. The motor is simultaneously connected to the rotors of the two quantitative rotor pumps through a linkage structure. The outer stator is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The motor is disposed in the protective shell.

[0007] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the connecting assembly includes a diversion structure and a connecting hose. The diversion structure has two diversion pipes and a feed pipe connected to the two diversion pipes. The feed pipe is connected to the filling machine through the connecting hose, and the two diversion pipes are respectively connected to the two inlets.

[0008] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the moving mechanism includes a support plate, a sliding block fixedly connected to the protective shell, a guide rod disposed on the support plate, and a driving structure for driving the sliding block to slide along the support plate, wherein the sliding block is slidably disposed on the guide rod.

[0009] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the discharge assembly includes a discharge pipe and a movable structure, wherein the discharge pipe is connected to the outlet through the movable structure.

[0010] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the movable structure includes a connecting part connected to the outlet, a fixing ring disposed on the connecting part, and a universal ball movably disposed in the fixing ring. The universal ball is connected to the discharge pipe. The connecting part, the universal ball, and the discharge pipe are all provided with interconnected transport channels, which are used for sausages to pass through.

[0011] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the movable structure further includes a connecting plate fixed to the discharge pipe, a connecting rod disposed on the connecting plate, and a sliding groove plate connected to the connecting rod. The sliding groove plate has a vertically arranged sliding groove. The movable structure also includes an abutting rod and an abutting block. The abutting rod is provided with a sliding rod, which is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.

The diversion component includes two quantitative rotor pumps and a motor that drives the quantitative rotor pumps to rotate. The quantitative rotor pumps can accurately measure the amount of sausages filled and then convey them to the tying machine through the discharge component for tying. This prevents the sausages from being manually pulled into the traction machine and worktable as in existing technologies, which would cause excessive compression inside the sausages and result in uneven sausages. At the same time, this device also improves production efficiency, allowing the production of two sections of sausages at the same time and saving space. The moving mechanism can drive the diversion mechanism to move back and forth between the filling machine and the tying machine. After a batch of filled sausages is produced, the moving mechanism is activated to remove the discharge component from the tying machine, which makes it easy to put the discharge component into the casing.

[0029] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0030] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0031] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The image shows a sausage production device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, including a filling machine 10, a dual-channel quantitative device 20, and a tying machine 30 arranged sequentially. The dual-channel quantitative device 20 includes a diversion mechanism and a moving mechanism for driving the diversion mechanism to move between the filling machine 10 and the tying machine 30. The diversion mechanism includes a diversion component, a connecting component 26 connecting the diversion component and the filling machine 10, and a discharge component connecting the diversion component and the tying machine 30. The diversion component includes two quantitative rotor pumps 28 and a motor for driving the quantitative rotor pumps 28 to rotate.

[0034] Understandably, by setting a dual-channel quantitative device 20 between the filling machine 10 and the tying machine 30, after the sausage is filled in the filling machine 10, it passes through the connecting component 26 to the diversion component for diversion. The diversion component includes two quantitative rotor pumps 28 and a motor that drives the quantitative rotor pumps 28 to rotate. The quantitative rotor pumps 28 can accurately measure the amount of sausage filled and convey it into the tying machine 30 through the discharge component for tying. This prevents the sausage from being manually pulled into the traction machine and workbench as in the prior art, which would cause excessive compression inside the sausage and result in uneven sausage. At the same time, this device also improves production efficiency, can produce two sections of sausage at the same time, and saves space. The moving mechanism can drive the diversion mechanism to move back and forth between the filling machine 10 and the tying machine 30. After a batch of filled sausages is produced, the moving mechanism is activated to remove the discharge component from the tying machine 30, which makes it easy to put the discharge component into the casing.

[0035] This invention uses a dual-channel quantitative device 20 to accurately measure the amount of sausages that have been filled, and reduces the footprint of the equipment, thereby reducing investment costs.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the flow diversion assembly further includes a protective housing 25 accommodating the two quantitative rotor pumps 28. Each quantitative rotor pump 28 includes an outer stator 286, a rotor 283 rotatably disposed within the outer stator 286, and a plurality of blades 284 connected to the rotor 283. The blades 284 are radially movably disposed along the rotor 283. A flow space 285 for the passage of a sausage is provided between the outer stator 286 and the rotor 283. The motor is connected via a linkage structure (not shown in the figure). Simultaneously connected to the rotors 283 of the two quantitative rotor pumps 28, the outer stator 286 is provided with an inlet 281 and an outlet 282, and the motor is located in the protective shell 25; the connecting assembly 26 includes a diversion structure and a connecting hose 27, the diversion structure has two diversion pipes 262 and a feed pipe 261 connected to the two diversion pipes 262, the feed pipe 261 is connected to the filling machine 10 through the connecting hose 27, and the two diversion pipes 262 are respectively connected to the two inlets 281.

[0037] Understandably, after the sausage filling machine 10 fills the sausage, the motor rotates and drives the two quantitative rotor pumps 28 to rotate, so that the quantitative rotor pumps 28 suck up the filled sausage. The sausage passes through the connecting hose 27, the feed pipe 261, the diversion pipe 262 and the inlet 281 in sequence to reach the flow space 285. When the rotor 283 rotates, it will drive the blades 284 to push the filled sausage quantitatively towards the outlet 282, and send it to the tying machine 30 through the discharge assembly. Since the blades 284 are movably arranged along the radial direction of the rotor 283, when the rotor 283 rotates, the blades 284 will adaptively adjust their position during rotation to achieve a better quantitative effect.

[0038] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a support plate 21, a sliding block 22 fixedly connected to the protective shell 25, a guide rod 23 disposed on the support plate 21, and a driving structure for driving the sliding block 22 to slide along the support plate 21. The sliding block 22 is slidably disposed on the guide rod 23. The discharge assembly includes a discharge pipe 24 and a movable structure 40. The discharge pipe 24 is connected to the outlet 282 through the movable structure 40. The movable structure 40 includes a connecting part 41 connected to the outlet 282, a fixing ring 42 disposed on the connecting part 41, and a universal ball 43 movably disposed in the fixing ring 42. The universal ball 43 is connected to the discharge pipe 24. The connecting part 41, the universal ball 43, and the discharge pipe 24 are all provided with interconnected transport channels 44 for sausages to pass through.

[0039] Understandably, sausages need to be casingd to prevent them from falling apart. Therefore, casings need to be placed on the outlet 282 end of the discharge pipe 24. During casing placement, the driving structure causes the sliding block 22 to slide along the guide rod 23 on the support plate 21, allowing the discharge pipe 24 to exit the tying machine 30, thus facilitating casing placement on the discharge pipe 24. To ensure smooth sliding, a sliding groove slider structure is preferably provided. The driving structure can take many forms, such as a gear belt structure or a ball screw structure located in the sliding block 22. These are conventional settings and are not shown here. After the discharge pipe 24 is casingd... The discharge pipe 24 is then fed back into the tying machine 30 via the drive structure. To further facilitate the workers in casing the sausages, a movable structure 40 is provided to adjust the direction of the discharge pipe 24. In specific operation, the direction of the discharge pipe 24 can be adjusted by rotating the universal ball 43 in the fixed ring 42, which in turn drives the discharge pipe 24 to rotate. Preferably, the discharge pipe 24 is tilted upward, which is more in line with human operating habits. After casing the sausages, the discharge pipe 24 is placed parallel, so that the connecting part 41, the universal ball 43 and the transport channel 44 in the discharge pipe 24 are arranged in a straight line to realize the function of transporting sausages.

[0040] Specifically, the movable structure 40 further includes a connecting plate 60 fixed to the discharge pipe 24, a connecting rod 45 disposed on the connecting plate 60, and a sliding groove plate 49 connected to the connecting rod 45. The sliding groove plate 49 has a vertically arranged sliding groove 491. The movable structure 40 also includes an abutting rod 47 and an abutting block 46. The abutting rod 47 is provided with a sliding rod 471, which is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 491. The abutting block 46 is located at the end of the support plate 21 away from the discharge pipe 24, and the abutting block 46 is used to contact the abutting rod 47. The abutting rod 47 passes through the sliding block 22, and the sliding block 22 is provided with a spring 48. The two ends of the spring 48 are respectively connected to the abutting rod 47 and the fixed parts in the sliding block 22.

[0041] Understandably, for ease of operation, the drive structure moves the support block toward the contact block 46. When the contact rod 47 contacts the contact block 46, the contact rod 47 moves forward, the spring 48 is compressed, and the sliding rod 471 moves in the sliding groove 491 to push the sliding plate 49 together with the connecting rod 45 upward. The connecting rod 45 drives the connecting rod 45 and the discharge pipe 24 to rotate upward around the universal ball 43 so that the end of the discharge pipe 24 faces upward, making it convenient for the staff to put on the casing. After the casing is put on, the drive structure moves the support block toward the tying machine 30, the contact rod 47 disengages from the contact block 46, and the spring 48 drives the contact rod 47 to reset, thereby making the discharge pipe 24 also reset to a horizontal state. Finally, the discharge pipe 24 enters the tying machine 30.

[0042] Furthermore, the filling machine 10 includes a discharge port 11, which is connected to a connecting hose 27. The wire tying machine 30 includes a feed port 31, a winding mechanism 32, a peach-shaped clamp 33, and a traction mechanism 34 arranged sequentially from the dual-channel quantitative device 20. The feed port 31 is connected to the discharge pipe 24.

[0043] It should be noted that both the filling machine 10 and the tying machine 30 are existing equipment, and this utility model does not make any improvements to them, so the specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In summary, the dual-channel quantitative device in the above embodiments of this utility model, by setting a dual-channel quantitative device between the filling machine and the tying machine, allows the sausages to be divided into two streams after being filled in the filling machine, via a connecting component. The stream dividing component includes two quantitative rotor pumps and a motor that drives the quantitative rotor pumps to rotate. The quantitative rotor pumps can accurately measure the amount of sausages filled and then convey them to the tying machine for tying via the discharge component. This prevents the sausages from being manually pulled into the traction machine and workbench as in the prior art, which would cause excessive compression inside the sausages and result in uneven sausages. At the same time, this device also improves production efficiency, allowing the production of two sections of sausages simultaneously and saving space. The moving mechanism can drive the stream dividing mechanism to move back and forth between the filling machine and the tying machine. After a batch of filled sausages is produced, the moving mechanism is activated to remove the discharge component from the tying machine, making it convenient to insert the discharge component into the casing.

[0045] This invention uses a dual-channel quantitative device to accurately measure the amount of sausages that have been filled, and reduces the footprint of the equipment, thereby lowering investment costs.
