[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an automated integrated food additive production and packaging equipment includes a frame 1 and a support frame 2 that is bolted to the top of the frame 1.

[0033] The inner wall of the support frame 2 is fixed with a hopper 3 by bolts. A perforated plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the hopper 3, and a straight cylinder 8 is fixedly connected and communicated with the bottom of the hopper 3. A shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the perforated plate 4. Multiple staggered stirring rods 6 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft 5, and an auger 7 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft 5. The auger 7 is in contact with the inner wall of the straight cylinder 8. A valve plate 9 is installed at the bottom of the straight cylinder 8. A motor 10 is fixed to the top of the perforated plate 4 by bolts. The output shaft of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the shaft 5 by a coupling.

[0034] The start motor 10 drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate the stirring rod 6 and the auger 7. The auger 7 can transport the powder at the bottom upwards. The mixing of the powder can be achieved by the cooperation of the stirring rod 6 and the auger 7. When packaging is required, the valve plate 9 is opened, and the start motor 10 drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate the stirring rod 6 and the auger 7 in the opposite direction. The auger 7 transports the mixed food additive downwards, and finally fills it into the packaging bottle through the valve plate 9.

[0035] By setting up a stirring rod 6 and an auger 7, when the stirring rod 6 and the auger 7 rotate forward, the auger 7 can transport the powder at the bottom upward, which, together with the stirring of the stirring rod 6, makes the food additives more evenly mixed. When the stirring rod 6 and the auger 7 rotate in reverse, the auger 7 can transport the mixed food additives into the packaging bottle. Furthermore, by setting the rotation speed of the auger 7, quantitative feeding can be achieved, improving the accuracy and convenience of the device.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a conveying assembly for conveying packaging bottles. The conveying assembly includes two symmetrically arranged drive rollers 16 and a shaft 17 keyed to the inner wall of the drive rollers 16. The shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. A horizontal plate 12 and a horizontal plate 13 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The horizontal plate 12, the horizontal plate 13 and the outer walls of the two shafts 17 are driven by the same conveyor belt 15. A plurality of annular bases 14 arranged at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 15.

[0037] Empty packaging bottles are placed in each annular base 14 on the conveyor belt 15, driving one of the drive rollers 16 and shaft 17 to rotate. With the cooperation of the other drive roller 16 and shaft 17, the conveyor belt 15 is driven to rotate along the outer wall of the first horizontal plate 12 and the second horizontal plate 13, thereby driving the annular base 14 and the packaging bottle to move.

[0038] By setting up a conveying component and multiple annular bases 14, the packaging bottles can be limited using the annular bases 14, ensuring conveying stability while ensuring the consistency of packaging position, and batch packaging can be achieved, thus improving the packaging efficiency of the device.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, one of the shafts 17 has a grooved wheel 23 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 1 through the outer wall. The inner wall of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to a limit plate 27 and a drive plate 28 via a shaft 26. The limit plate 27 and the drive plate 28 are fixedly connected.

[0040] The outer wall of the drive disk 28 is fixedly connected with a round pin 25. The inner wall of the grooved wheel 23 is provided with a plurality of radially arranged strip grooves 24 that are matched with the round pin 25 for limiting. The inner wall of the limiting disk 27 is provided with an arc groove 1 for avoiding the grooved wheel 23, and the inner wall of the grooved wheel 23 is provided with a plurality of radially arranged arc grooves 22, which are matched with the outer wall of the limiting disk 27 for limiting.

[0041] The inner wall of the frame 1 is fixed with a motor 29 by bolts, and the output shaft of the motor 29 is fixedly connected to the shaft 26 by a coupling.

[0042] The starting motor 29 drives the fourth shaft 26 to rotate the limiting plate 27 and the driving plate 28 simultaneously. When the round pin 25 rotates into the strip groove 24, the round pin 25 will drive the groove wheel 23 and the second shaft 17 to rotate at a certain angle. The second shaft 17 drives the conveyor belt 15 to rotate to realize the conveying of the annular base 14 and the packaging bottle. As the fourth shaft 26 continues to rotate, the round pin 25 disengages from the strip groove 24. At this time, the groove wheel 23 is limited by the limiting plate 27 and cannot rotate, so that the annular base 14 stops moving. At this time, the filling and packaging steps can be carried out. This process is repeated to realize the intermittent conveying of the annular base 14 and the packaging bottle.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] An automated integrated production and packaging equipment for food additives is described in this embodiment, which is based on Embodiment 1 with the following improvements: Figure 1-5 As shown:

[0045] The frame 1 is also equipped with an oscillation assembly, which includes a tamping rod 18 and a cam 20. The tamping rod 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the horizontal plate 12, and the top and bottom ends of the tamping rod 18 are in contact with the conveyor belt 15 and the cam 20, respectively.

[0046] A vertical plate 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 2 13. The cam 20 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 21 through the shaft 3 19. The outer wall of the vertical plate 21 is fixed with a motor 22 by bolts. The shaft 3 19 and the output shaft of the motor 22 are fixedly connected by a coupling.

[0047] An infrared sensor 11 is installed on the inner wall of the support frame 2. A host computer is installed inside the frame 1. Motor 10, infrared sensor 11, motor 22 and motor 3 are all connected to the host computer for control.

[0048] When the packaging bottle reaches the support frame 2, the infrared sensor 11 sends a signal to the host computer. The host computer starts motor 10 and motor 22. Motor 10 drives shaft 5 to rotate the auger 7 to complete the feeding. At the same time, motor 22 drives shaft 319 to rotate the cam 20. When the protruding end of the cam 20 contacts the tamping rod 18, it will push the tamping rod 18 upward. When the protruding end of the cam 20 leaves the tamping rod 18, the tamping rod 18 will descend and reset. This cycle continuously vibrates the packaging bottle to prevent food additives from becoming uneven inside the packaging bottle, which would cause excessive accumulation of food additives in the center and overflow.

[0049] By setting up the tamping rod 18 and the cam 20, the tamping rod 18 can be used to slightly vibrate the packaging bottle, leveling the food additives inside the bottle and preventing uneven distribution and spillage.

[0050] Working Principle: During use, the required powder for the food additive is poured into the hopper 3. Motor 10 is started, driving shaft 5 to rotate the stirring rod 6 and auger 7. The auger 7 conveys the powder from the bottom upwards. The mixing of the powder is achieved through the cooperation of the stirring rod 6 and auger 7. Motor 3 (29) is started, driving shaft 4 (26) to rotate the limiting plate 27 and the driving plate 28 simultaneously. When the round pin 25 rotates into the strip groove 24, it drives the grooved wheel 23 and shaft 2 (17) to rotate at a certain angle. Shaft 2 (17) drives the conveyor belt 15 to rotate, thus conveying the annular base 14 and the packaging bottle. As shaft 4 (26) continues to rotate, the round pin 25 disengages from the strip groove 24. At this point, the grooved wheel 23 is limited by the limiting plate 27 and cannot rotate, causing the annular base 14 to stop moving. The filling and packaging process can then begin. This process is repeated to achieve the desired effect. The packaging bottle is intermittently conveyed to the 14th ring base. During this period, empty packaging bottles need to be repositioned in the empty ring base 14 to ensure the continuity of the packaging work. When the packaging bottle reaches the support frame 2, the infrared sensor 11 sends a signal to the host computer. The host computer starts motor 10 and motor 22. Motor 10 drives shaft 5 to drive auger 7 to rotate in the opposite direction. Auger 7 conveys the mixed food additives downward and finally fills them into the packaging bottle through valve plate 9. At the same time, motor 22 drives shaft 319 to drive cam 20 to rotate. When the protruding end of cam 20 contacts the tamping rod 18, it pushes the tamping rod 18 upward. When the protruding end of cam 20 leaves the tamping rod 18, the tamping rod 18 descends and resets. This cycle continuously vibrates the packaging bottle to prevent the food additives from becoming uneven inside the packaging bottle, which would cause excessive accumulation of food additives in the center and overflow.

[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
