Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0023] Example:
[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0025] This utility model provides a weighing device for fruit crisp production, including a main body 1, with feet 3 at the four corners of the lower part of the main body 1. Two first transmission columns 4 are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the main body 1, and a first conveyor belt 7 is connected between the two first transmission columns 4. A fixed housing 5 is installed on one side of the main body 1, and a motor 6 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the fixed housing 5. One end of one of the first transmission columns 4 passes through the main body 1 and extends into the interior of the fixed housing 5. The output end of the motor 6 is connected to the corresponding first transmission column 4. A fixed plate 21 is installed on one side of the lower surface of the main body 1, and a vibration motor 2 is installed on one side of the fixed plate 21. A vibration mechanism is provided between each foot 3 and the main body 1. A weighing basket 14 is installed on one side of the main body 1, and a weighing mechanism is provided below the weighing basket 14.
[0026] The vibration mechanism includes a slot 27, which is set on the upper surface of the foot 3. A T-shaped column 28 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the slot 27. The top of the T-shaped column 28 is fixed to the lower surface of the main body 1. A spring 29 is sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped column 28. The two ends of the spring 29 are fixed to the main body 1 and the foot 3 respectively.
[0027] The weighing mechanism includes a base plate 16. An opening 15 is provided on one side of the weighing basket 14. The base plate 16 passes through the opening 15 and is fitted against one side of the inner wall of the weighing basket 14. An electric cylinder 22 is installed on one side of the base plate 16. An L-shaped frame 23 is installed at one end of the electric cylinder 22. An mounting plate 10 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped frame 23. Fixing rods 17 are installed on both sides of the mounting plate 10. The two fixing rods 17 are fixed to the corresponding feet 3. Through the cooperation of the vibration motor 2, spring 29, T-shaped column 28, and slot 27, the fruit slices can generate slight vibration during the conveying process. In use, the vibration motor 2 and motor 6 are driven to run simultaneously, so that the fruit slices can maintain a slight movement when transported on the first conveyor belt 7 until the fruit slices are transported into the weighing basket 14. During this process, continuous vibration can prevent some fruit slices from sticking to the equipment, improve the accuracy of subsequent weighing work, and improve production efficiency.
[0028] Two second drive columns 11 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting plate 10. A second conveyor belt 12 is connected between the two second drive columns 11. One of the second drive columns 11 passes through the mounting plate 10 and extends to one side of it. One of the first drive columns 4 passes through the main body 1 and extends to one side of it. A main drive wheel 8 and a secondary drive wheel 13 are respectively installed on the outer sides of the first drive column 4 and the second drive column 11. A drive belt 9 is connected between the main drive wheel 8 and the secondary drive wheel 13.
[0029] The base plate 16 has an inner groove 18 on its upper surface. A pressure sensor 20 is installed at the bottom of the inner groove 18. A cover plate 19 is installed above the inner groove 18. The pressure sensor 20 enables automatic weighing of fruit slices falling on it.
[0030] The second conveyor belt 12 is provided with a first storage box 25 and a second storage box 26 on one side.
[0031] An alarm 24 is installed on one side of the upper surface of the mounting plate 10. The alarm 24 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 20 through a wire. The pressure sensor 20 detects the weight of the fruit slices. When the weight reaches the predetermined value, the alarm 24 does not react. When the weight does not meet the standard, the pressure sensor 20 will send a signal to the alarm 24. When the alarm 24 receives the signal, it will light up to prompt the staff to put the fruit slices in the second storage box 26.
[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, the motor 6 starts, driving the first transmission column 4 located inside the fixed housing 5 to rotate. The first conveyor belt 7, which is connected between the two first transmission columns 4, starts to operate. While the first transmission column 4 rotates, the main transmission wheel 8 on its outer side drives the auxiliary transmission wheel 13 to rotate through the transmission belt 9. The auxiliary transmission wheel 13 is installed on one of the second transmission columns 11, thereby causing the second conveyor belt 12, which is connected between the two second transmission columns 11, to also start operating. The vibration motor 2 starts, generating vibration. The vibration is transmitted through the main body 1 to the T-shaped column 28 connected to the main body 1. The T-shaped column 28 slides up and down in the slot 27, while simultaneously compressing or stretching the spring 29. Under the combined action of the vibrating motor 2, spring 29, T-shaped column 28, and slot 27, the main body 1 generates slight vibration, causing the fruit crisps to vibrate and undulate continuously as they are transported on the first conveyor belt 7, achieving the purpose of the anti-sticking device. Simultaneously, the fruit crisps vibrate and are transported continuously on the first conveyor belt 7 until they are conveyed into the weighing basket 14. The fruit crisps fall onto the bottom plate 16 inside the weighing basket 14. The pressure sensor 20 in the inner groove 18 on the upper surface of the bottom plate 16 senses the weight of the fruit crisps. When the weight reaches a predetermined value, the alarm 24 does not react. At this time, the drive cylinder 22 drives... The base plate 16 moves, causing the fruit slices on the base plate 16 to fall onto the second conveyor belt 12. Then, the staff places the first storage box 25 in position to complete the collection. When the weight does not meet the standard, the pressure sensor 20 sends a signal to the alarm 24. After receiving the signal, the alarm 24 lights up to remind the staff. The staff then places the fruit slices in the second storage box 26. Fruit slices that meet the preset value are placed in the first storage box 25. Through this setting, the staff can pre-set the values, so that the equipment can sort two different weights of fruit slices at the same time, which is convenient for subsequent work.
