Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a cage conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high pressure (HPP) sterilization equipment applies a pressure of 400-600 MPa within a sealed container, using water as the medium. This effectively kills bacteria and mold in beverages and foods, preserving vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in fruit juice without the addition of preservatives, thus ensuring the juice's flavor and nutritional value. To improve the efficiency of HPP equipment and its transport, multiple fruit juice bottles are typically packed into a basket for unified sterilization.

[0003] In existing technologies, the manual handling of cages for loading and unloading ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment results in low conveying efficiency, long production cycles, and increased production costs. At the same time, it also leads to high labor intensity and high labor costs for personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cage conveying system to address the problems of low conveying efficiency, long production cycle, high production cost, high labor intensity and high labor cost of existing manual cage handling methods.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cage conveying system includes a feeding roller seat connected to the inlet end of an ultra-high pressure sterilization device, and a discharging roller seat connected to the outlet end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization device. A feeding pushing cage mechanism is installed above the feeding roller seat, which pushes the cage on the feeding roller seat into the ultra-high pressure sterilization device. A discharging pushing cage mechanism is installed above the discharging roller seat, which clamps and drives the cage at the outlet end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization device to move along the discharging roller seat, thereby discharging the material.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0008] The structure of the feeding and pushing cage mechanism is as follows: it includes a first support frame, and a first linear module arranged parallel to the feeding roller seat is installed on the top of the first support frame. The output end of the first linear module is connected to a first mounting base, and a first cylinder arranged vertically is fixed on the first mounting base. The output end of the first cylinder is connected to a push plate.

[0009] The first cylinder drives the push plate to move in a straight line in the vertical direction, so that the push plate fits against one end of the cage. Then, under the drive of the first linear module, the cage enters the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment along the feeding roller seat.

[0010] The structure of the unloading cage pushing mechanism is as follows: it includes a second support frame, a second linear module is fixed at the top of the second support frame, the output end of the second linear module is connected to a second mounting base, a second cylinder is fixed on the second mounting base, the output end of the second cylinder is connected to a connecting plate, and clamping cylinders are fixed at the bottom of the connecting plate, with the output end of each clamping cylinder connected to a clamping plate.

[0011] The second cylinder drives the connecting plate to move in a straight line in the vertical direction, so that the two clamping plates move to both sides of the cage. The two clamping cylinders retract at the same time, so that the two clamping plates move in a similar straight line, thereby clamping the corresponding cage. Under the drive of the second linear module, the corresponding cage moves along the unloading roller seat.

[0012] Several clamping guide posts are installed between the individual clamping plate and the connecting plate.

[0013] A baffle is fitted to the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0014] Both the feeding roller seat and the unloading roller seat are roller seats. The structure of a single roller seat is as follows: it includes a base, and the top of the base is symmetrically provided with two protruding edges. Roller sets are installed on the two protruding edges. The two sets of roller sets are inclined relative to each other and support the corresponding cage through the two sets of roller sets.

[0015] A feeding conveyor belt is arranged at the end of the feeding roller seat, and the feeding conveyor belt and the feeding roller seat are arranged in an L-shape.

[0016] The unloading roller seat is provided with an unloading conveyor belt at its end, and the unloading conveyor belt and the unloading roller seat are arranged in an L-shape.

[0017] It also includes a return conveyor belt, which sends the cages at the discharge end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment back to the inlet end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment.

[0018] The return material conveyor belt is equipped with guardrail components.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By setting up a roller seat, a feeding cage mechanism, and a discharging cage mechanism, it can realize the automatic feeding and unloading of ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment, thereby effectively improving the conveying efficiency, shortening the production cycle, reducing the intensity of manual labor, and reducing production costs.

[0032] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The structure and function of this utility model are as follows:

[0034] like Figures 1-8As shown, a cage conveying system includes a feeding roller seat 2 connected to the inlet end of an ultra-high pressure sterilization device 4, and a discharging roller seat 5 connected to the outlet end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 4. A feeding pushing mechanism 3 is installed above the feeding roller seat 2, which pushes the cage 10 on the feeding roller seat 2 into the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 4. A discharging pushing mechanism 9 is installed above the discharging roller seat 5, which clamps and drives the cage 10 at the outlet end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 4 to move along the discharging roller seat 5, thereby discharging the material. By setting up the roller seat, the feeding pushing mechanism 3, and the discharging pushing mechanism 9, the automatic feeding and discharging of the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 4 can be realized, thereby effectively improving the conveying efficiency, shortening the production cycle, reducing the intensity of manual labor, and reducing the production output of finished products.

[0035] In this invention, the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4 applies high pressure to the packaging bottle and holds the pressure for 2 minutes, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting the juice inside the packaging bottle at room temperature, ensuring the original flavor, taste and nutrition of the juice; in order to improve the working efficiency of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4, the packaging bottles are filled into the cage 10, and the packaging bottles are transported and sterilized in batches in the form of cages, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

[0036] A feeding conveyor belt 1 is arranged at the end of the feeding roller seat 2, and the feeding conveyor belt 1 and the feeding roller seat 2 are arranged in an L-shape. The feeding conveyor belt 1 conveys the cage 10 radially, and the feeding roller seat 2 conveys the cage 10 axially.

[0037] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the structure of the feeding and pushing cage mechanism 3 is as follows: it includes a first support frame 301, and a first linear module 302 arranged parallel to the feeding roller seat 2 is installed on the top of the first support frame 301. The output end of the first linear module 302 is connected to a first mounting base 304, and a first cylinder 303 is fixed on the first mounting base 304. The output end of the first cylinder 303 is connected to a push plate 306. The first cylinder 303 drives the push plate 306 to move linearly in the vertical direction, so that the push plate 306 fits against one end of the circular surface of the cage 10. Then, under the drive of the first linear module 302, the cage 10 enters the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4 along the feeding roller seat 2. By setting the feeding and pushing cage mechanism 3, the cage 10 at the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 1 can be pushed onto the feeding roller seat 2 and made to move linearly along the length direction of the feeding roller seat 2.

[0038] A discharge conveyor belt 6 is arranged at the end of the discharge roller seat 5, and the discharge conveyor belt 6 and the discharge roller seat 5 are arranged in an L-shape. The discharge roller seat 5 conveys the material along the axial direction of the cage 10, and the discharge conveyor belt 6 conveys the material along the radial direction of the cage 10.

[0039] like Figure 7-Figure 8As shown, the structure of the unloading and pushing cage mechanism 9 is as follows: it includes a second support frame 901, a second linear module 902 is fixed to the top of the second support frame 901, the output end of the second linear module 902 is connected to a second mounting base 904, a vertically arranged second cylinder 903 is fixed on the second mounting base 904, the output end of the second cylinder 903 is connected to a connecting plate 907, and symmetrically arranged clamping cylinders 909 are fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 907. The output end of a single clamping cylinder 909 is connected to a clamping plate 908. The second cylinder 903 drives the connecting plate 907 to move linearly in the vertical direction, so that the two clamping plates 908 move to both sides of the cage 10. The two clamping cylinders 909 retract at the same time, so that the two clamping plates 908 move in similar linear motions, thereby clamping the corresponding cage 10. Under the drive of the second linear module 902, the corresponding cage 10 is moved along the unloading roller seat 5. The cage 10 at the discharge end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4 is clamped by the clamping plate 908. Then, under the action of the second linear module 902, the cage 10 is driven to move along the unloading roller seat 5 until it reaches the unloading conveyor belt 6.

[0040] Several clamping guide posts 910 are installed between a single clamping plate 908 and a connecting plate 907. By setting the clamping guide posts 910, the movement stability of the connecting seat 907 can be improved.

[0041] A baffle 906 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 907. The baffle 906 plays an auxiliary pushing role during the axial movement of the cage 10, ensuring that the cage 10 can be accurately moved from the unloading roller seat 5 onto the unloading conveyor belt 6.

[0042] Both the feeding roller seat 2 and the unloading roller seat 5 are roller seats. The structure of a single roller seat is as follows: it includes a base 11, and two symmetrically arranged protruding edges 12 are provided on the top of the base 11. Roller sets 13 are installed on each of the two protruding edges 12. The two sets of roller sets 13 are arranged at an angle to each other, and the corresponding cage 10 is supported by the two sets of roller sets 13. By adopting the roller seat form, the structure can be compacted, reducing the overall footprint of the conveying system; by setting the roller sets 13, the resistance of the cage 10 during the movement along the roller seat can be reduced, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0043] It also includes a return conveyor belt 8, which sends the cages 10 at the discharge end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4 back to the inlet end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4. By setting up the return conveyor belt 8, the cages 10 can be recycled, improving the material utilization rate; in addition, a conveyor belt support frame (not shown in the attached figure) is installed at the bottom of the return conveyor belt 8 to support the return conveyor belt 8.

[0044] A guardrail assembly 7 is installed on the return material conveyor belt 8. The guardrail assembly 7 is used to prevent the cages 10 on the return material conveyor belt 8 from falling off, thereby improving the working safety of the conveying system.

[0045] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, robotic arms can be set at the beginning and end of the conveying system to move the cage 10, thereby further improving the working efficiency of the conveying system.

[0047] A robotic arm transports the cage 10 to be processed onto the feeding conveyor belt 1, and then sends it to the end of the feeding roller seat 2 via the feeding conveyor belt 1.

[0048] Subsequently, the first cylinder 302 extends, driving the push plate 306 to move downward in a vertical linear motion. Then, the first linear module 302 is activated, driving the push plate 306 to move in a horizontal linear motion, thereby making the push plate 306 contact the circular surface of the cage 10 and pushing the cage 10 to move along the feeding roller seat 2 until the cage 10 enters the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4.

[0049] After the juice in each juice bottle in the cage 10 is sterilized and disinfected by the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4, the cage 10 reaches the discharge end of the ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment 4 (i.e. the inlet end of the unloading roller seat 5).

[0050] Then, the second cylinder 903 extends, driving the two clamping plates 908 to move downward in a vertical linear motion. Then, the two clamping cylinders 909 retract simultaneously, so that the two clamping plates 908 are tightly attached to the side wall of the cage 10, thereby clamping the cage 10. Then, the second linear module 902 is started, driving the cage 10 to move along the unloading roller seat 5 through the two clamping plates 908 until the cage 10 reaches the unloading conveyor belt 6, and the unloading conveyor belt 6 continues to transport it.

[0051] At the discharge end of the unloading conveyor belt 6, another robotic arm removes the cage 10 from the unloading conveyor belt 6 and transports it to the subsequent work station for post-processing.

[0052] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
