Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of material packaging equipment technology, and in particular to a regulating mechanism for packaging cylindrical materials. Background Technology
[0002] The field of material packaging equipment technology has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the food processing industry, where the application of various automated equipment has greatly improved production efficiency and product quality. Columnar materials, such as cinnamon and sausages, require special handling during packaging due to their unique shape and texture. Traditional methods typically rely on manual operation or simple mechanical equipment, which, while achieving basic packaging functions, still have significant room for improvement in terms of precision and efficiency. With increasing market demand and technological advancements, developing efficient and precise columnar material packaging equipment has become an inevitable trend in the industry.
[0003] In existing cylindrical material packaging equipment, common methods include manual arrangement, vibration feeding, and pneumatic pushing. Manual arrangement is the most direct method, but it is labor-intensive and inefficient. Vibration feeding automatically arranges the cylindrical material through horizontal vibration, which can improve efficiency to some extent, but still suffers from problems such as uneven material arrangement and jamming. Pneumatic pushing uses compressed air to push the material into the packaging bag, but its control precision is low, easily leading to uneven material distribution. While these methods can meet packaging requirements to some extent, they still cannot completely solve the problems existing in the cylindrical material packaging process.
[0004] Existing cylindrical material packaging equipment generally suffers from problems such as low packaging efficiency, difficulty in fixing material positions, and poor bag space utilization in practical applications. This is particularly true in the packaging of rolled cylindrical materials like cinnamon, where the unique shape makes it difficult to accurately align the material within the packaging bag using simple vibration or pushing methods. This not only reduces the space utilization of the packaging bag but also causes some material to protrude from the bag opening due to improper positioning, affecting sealing quality and production efficiency, thereby increasing production costs and material waste. Utility Model Content
[0005] To improve the efficiency of material packaging, this application provides a regularization mechanism for packaging columnar materials.
[0006] The present application provides a regulating mechanism for encapsulating cylindrical materials, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A regulating mechanism for encapsulating columnar materials includes a feeding funnel and a filling platform. A lifting plate is provided on the filling platform, and the lifting plate moves vertically on the filling platform. A support plate is raised and lowered on the lifting plate. A receiving platform and a driving component for reciprocating sliding of the receiving platform are provided on the support plate. A material handling funnel is inserted into the receiving platform. A discharge port is opened on the support plate, and a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the support plate connected to the discharge port. A discharge baffle is slidably provided on the support plate, and the discharge baffle is located between the discharge port and the discharge pipe. The discharge end of the material handling funnel passes through the discharge port.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, columnar materials are evenly guided into the sorting funnel at the discharge port of the feeding funnel. As the receiving platform slides back and forth, the materials in the sorting funnel form a vortex motion along the inner wall under the action of centrifugal force, ultimately causing the materials to be neatly arranged and vertically gathered at the discharge port. When the cylinder drives the feeding baffle to open, the neatly arranged materials smoothly enter the sealing bag through the discharge pipe, avoiding the sealing failure problem caused by improper material positioning, and significantly improving the sealing quality and production efficiency.
[0009] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a rotary motor, a crank, and a pull rod. A drive rod is provided on the side wall of the receiving platform. The drive rod is parallel to the axial direction of the output shaft of the rotary motor. The crank is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the rotary motor. The pull rod is rotatably connected between the crank and the drive rod.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor drives the drive rod to move back and forth through the crank and pull rod, thereby causing the material feeding funnel on the receiving platform to slide back and forth. This design allows the falling columnar material to form a vortex motion within the material feeding funnel, effectively regulating the state of the material and ensuring that the material is in a neat and uniform state before entering the packaging bag.
[0011] Optionally, the support plate is provided with parallel upright plates, and a guide rod is connected between the two upright plates. The receiving platform is slidably sleeved on the guide rod, and the guide rod and the pull rod are arranged in parallel.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the two parallel vertical plates on the support plate and the guide rod between them ensure the stability and parallelism of the receiving platform during the reciprocating sliding process, and prevent the receiving platform from tilting during the sliding process. This ensures that the material in the material handling funnel can undergo vortex motion uniformly and stably, and further improves the material regularization effect.
[0013] Optionally, the pull rod includes an adjusting part and a connecting part. The connecting part is provided at both ends of the adjusting part. One connecting part is rotatably connected to the drive rod, and the other is rotatably connected to the crank. The adjusting part is threaded between the two connecting parts, and the threads at both ends of the adjusting part are arranged oppositely.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the adjusting and connecting parts of the pull rod makes the length of the pull rod adjustable. This allows for flexible adjustment of the sliding stroke of the receiving platform according to actual conditions, ensuring that the material in the material handling hopper can better undergo vortex motion and achieve a better standardization effect. Simultaneously, the reverse-oriented threads allow for convenient synchronous adjustment of the positions of the two connecting parts by rotating the adjusting part while they remain connected, improving the stability and reliability of the pull rod.
[0015] Optionally, the bottom of the support plate is provided with a plurality of guide posts that slide through the lifting plate, and the bottom of the lifting plate is provided with an electric push cylinder. The extension and retraction direction of the piston rod of the electric push cylinder is parallel to the guide posts, and the piston rod of the electric push cylinder passes through the lifting plate and connects to the support plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate can move up and down along the guide post under the action of the electric push cylinder, realizing the height adjustment of the support plate. This height adjustment mechanism can adapt to packaging bags of different sizes, ensuring that the material can fall accurately into the packaging bag, improving the flexibility and applicability of the packaging process. At the same time, the precise control capability of the electric push cylinder also ensures the smooth movement of the support plate, avoiding material scattering or damage caused by mechanical impact, further improving packaging quality and production efficiency.
[0017] Optionally, the filling platform is provided with several columns, and the lifting plate is slidably sleeved on the several columns. The top of the several columns is connected to a fixed cover plate. The fixed cover plate, the support plate, and the lifting plate are all vertically connected with a lifting screw. The lifting screw is rotated with the fixed cover plate through a thread, slidably with the support plate, and rotated with the lifting plate through a bearing.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the support plate can be precisely adjusted by rotating the lifting screw, ensuring that the discharge port of the material handling hopper always maintains a suitable distance from the discharge port of the unloading hopper, avoiding material accumulation or obstructed drop, and further improving the regularity of the material and the packaging efficiency. At the same time, this height-adjustable design also allows the equipment to adapt to columnar materials of different sizes, enhancing its applicability and flexibility.
[0019] Optionally, a handwheel is provided at the top of the lifting screw.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the handwheel setting allows operators to manually adjust the lifting screw to adjust the height of the support plate, further optimizing the packaging process of columnar materials and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0021] Optionally, the bottom of the filling platform is provided with multiple universal positioning wheels.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple omnidirectional positioning wheels are installed at the bottom of the filling platform, giving the entire cylindrical material packaging mechanism better mobility and flexibility. Operators can quickly adjust the position of the equipment according to the actual working environment, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the equipment being fixed in place.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. Columnar material is evenly guided into the sorting funnel at the discharge port of the feeding funnel. As the receiving platform slides back and forth, the material in the sorting funnel forms a vortex motion along the inner wall under the action of centrifugal force, ultimately causing the material to be neatly arranged and vertically gathered at the discharge port. When the cylinder drives the discharge baffle to open, the neatly arranged material smoothly enters the sealing bag through the discharge pipe, avoiding sealing failure caused by improper material positioning, and significantly improving sealing quality and production efficiency.
[0025] 2. The rotating motor drives the drive rod to move back and forth via the crank and pull rod, thereby causing the material feeding funnel on the receiving platform to slide back and forth. This design allows the falling columnar material to form a vortex motion within the material feeding funnel, effectively regulating the state of the material and ensuring that the material is in a neat and uniform state before entering the packaging bag;
[0026] 3. The two parallel vertical plates on the support plate and the guide rod between them ensure the stability and parallelism of the receiving platform during the reciprocating sliding process, and prevent the receiving platform from tilting during the sliding process. This ensures that the material in the material handling funnel can undergo vortex motion evenly and stably, and further improves the material regularization effect. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0033] This application discloses a regulating mechanism for packaging columnar materials.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A regulating mechanism for encapsulating columnar materials includes a feeding funnel 1 and a filling platform 2. The feeding funnel 1 is installed at the outlet of the equipment for processing columnar materials. A universal positioning wheel 21 is installed at each of the four corners of the bottom of the filling platform 2, allowing it to move to one side of the feeding funnel 1. A support plate 3 is provided on the filling platform 2, and a receiving platform 4 and a drive assembly 5 are provided on the support plate 3. A material handling funnel 6 is fixedly inserted into the receiving platform 4, positioned below the outlet of the feeding funnel 1. A discharge port 31 is provided on the support plate 3, and the discharge end of the material handling funnel 6 is inserted into the discharge port 31, with a sliding fit between them. A discharge pipe 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 3, connected to the discharge port 31. A discharge baffle 33 is slidably installed on the support plate 3 via a cylinder 32, located between the discharge port 31 and the discharge pipe 7.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 During the packaging process of the processed columnar material, the drive component 5 drives the feeding funnel 6 to slide back and forth, causing the batch of material falling from the discharge funnel 1 to fall onto the inner wall of the feeding funnel 6 and undergo vortex motion with the reciprocating sliding of the feeding funnel 6, ultimately regulating the state of the falling material. Because the discharge baffle 33 blocks the outlet of the feeding funnel 6, the batch of material in the feeding funnel 6 is vertically gathered at the discharge port of the feeding funnel 6. When the cylinder 32 drives the discharge baffle 33 to move away, the batch of vertical columnar material enters the packaging bag from the discharge pipe 7, reducing the sealing failure problem caused by improper material position.
[0036] Reference Figure 1A number of columns 22 are fixedly installed on the filling platform 2. In this embodiment, four columns are used as an example. The four columns 22 are arranged in a rectangular shape, and a fixed cover plate 23 and a lifting plate 24 are fitted on the four columns 22. The fixed cover plate 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the four columns 22, and the lifting plate 24 is slidably fitted on the four columns 22. A number of guide columns 34 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the support plate 3. In this embodiment, four guide columns 34 are arranged in a rectangular shape and slide vertically through the lifting plate 24. An electric push cylinder 241 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 24. The extension and retraction direction of the piston rod of the electric push cylinder 241 is parallel to the guide column 34, and the top of the piston rod of the electric push cylinder 241 slides out of the lifting plate 24 and is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 3.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A lifting screw 8 is vertically threaded through the upper edge of the fixed cover plate 23, the support plate 3, and the lifting plate 24. The lifting screw 8 is connected to the fixed cover plate 23 by a threaded rotation, to the support plate 3 by a sliding rotation, and to the lifting plate 24 by a bearing rotation. A handwheel 81 is fixedly installed on the top end of the lifting screw 8 extending out of the fixed cover plate 23.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Parallel upright plates 35 are fixedly installed on the support plate 3. A guide rod 351 is fixedly connected between the two upright plates 35. The guide rod 351 is parallel to the support plate 3, and the receiving platform 4 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 351.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 The drive assembly 5 includes a rotary motor 51, a crank 52, and a pull rod 53. The rotary motor 51 is located on the side of the upright plate 35 away from the receiving platform 4 and is fixedly mounted on the support plate 3 via a motor base 36. A drive rod 41 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the receiving platform 4 parallel to the guide rod 351. The drive rod 41 is parallel to the axial direction of the output shaft of the rotary motor 51. The crank 52 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the rotary motor 51. The pull rod 53 is located between the crank 52 and the drive rod 41, perpendicular to the drive rod 41 and parallel to the pull rod 53. One end of the pull rod 53 is rotatably sleeved on the drive rod 41, and the other end is rotatably sleeved on the end of the crank 52 away from the output shaft of the rotary motor 51.
[0040] Reference Figure 3 In order to facilitate flexible adjustment of the sliding stroke of the receiving platform 4 according to the actual situation, the length of the pull rod 53 is adjustable. In this embodiment, the pull rod 53 includes an adjusting part 531 and a connecting part 532. The connecting part 532 is provided at both ends of the adjusting part 531, and each connecting part 532 is screwed onto the end of the adjusting part 531 by thread rotation. The threads at both ends of the adjusting part 531 are arranged oppositely.
[0041] The implementation principle of the columnar material packaging straightening mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: The rotating motor 51 is started, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 51 rotates, driving the crank 52 to rotate. Under the limiting guidance of the guide rod 351, the rotation of the crank 52 drives the pull rod 53 to reciprocate, causing the material feeding funnel 6 to slide back and forth. This causes the batch of material falling from the discharge funnel 1 to fall onto the inner wall of the material feeding funnel 6, and to undergo vortex motion with the reciprocating sliding of the material feeding funnel 6, ultimately straightening the state of the falling material. Because the discharge baffle 33 blocks the outlet of the material feeding funnel 6, the batch of material in the material feeding funnel 6 is vertically gathered at the outlet of the material feeding funnel 6. When the cylinder 32 drives the discharge baffle 33 to move away, the batch of vertical columnar material enters the packaging bag from the discharge pipe 7, reducing the sealing failure problem caused by improper material position and significantly improving packaging quality and production efficiency.
[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
