Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment technology, specifically to a filling equipment for the production and processing of red sausage. Background Technology

[0002] In the sausage production and processing industry, filling equipment is one of the core production tools. The core of filling equipment is to ensure that the weight, filling distribution, and casing integrity of each sausage meet quality standards as much as possible. Precise filling ensures the consistency of the sausage's taste, while the intact casing is crucial for extending the sausage's shelf life and maintaining its appearance.

[0003] In sausage casing processing, most equipment lacks effective casing positioning and guidance mechanisms. During the filling process, casings are prone to bending, leading to uneven distribution of filling within the casing. Some areas have excessive filling, while others have insufficient filling, severely impacting the taste and quality of the sausage. Furthermore, due to the bending and uneven stress on the casings, they are highly susceptible to breakage during filling. Once a casing breaks, it not only causes filling leakage and wastes raw materials but may also contaminate the production environment, increasing the risk of microbial contamination and affecting product safety and shelf life. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a filling device for sausage production and processing, comprising a filling cylinder with an open end and a filling head installed at the open end; a filling component is provided inside the filling cylinder, including a servo motor, which is located at the end of the filling cylinder from the filling head, and a bidirectional lead screw is connected to the output end of the servo motor, with a slider connected to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw, a strip fixed to the end of the slider away from the servo motor, and a filling piston fixed to the other end of the strip; a casing retaining cylinder is provided on one side of the filling head, and a casing conveying component is also provided, including a collar that can be fitted onto the filling head, a connecting strip fixed to the bottom of the collar, and a through groove for the connecting strip to slide at the bottom of the casing retaining cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, a linear actuator is provided on the side of the connecting strip, and the telescopic end of the linear actuator is fixed to the connecting strip.

[0006] Furthermore, the can body is cylindrical, and a limiting plate is fixed to the inner wall of the can body, with the limiting plate in contact with the strip plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a hanging ring is fixed to the side wall of the collar, and an inner groove for attaching the casing is provided on the outer side of the hanging ring.

[0008] Furthermore, a storage silo is provided above the canister body, and a conveying pipe is connected to the bottom of the storage silo, with a ball valve installed on the conveying pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a base is provided below the canning cylinder and the casing retainer. The canning cylinder and the casing retainer are fixed to the base by a connecting frame. The base is provided with a sliding groove for the connecting strip to slide.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. Precise casing positioning and protection: Through the coordinated operation of the collar, hanging ring, and linear actuator in the casing conveyor, the casings are precisely conveyed to the filling head and maintained in a stable position during the filling process.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] A filling device for the production and processing of red sausage, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a canning cylinder 1 with an open end and a filling head 2 installed at the open end. A filling component is installed inside the canning cylinder 1, which includes a servo motor 331. The servo motor 331 is located at one end of the canning cylinder 1 that is connected to the filling head 2. A bidirectional lead screw 32 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 331. A slider 33 is connected to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 32. A strip plate 34 is fixed to one end of the slider 33 away from the servo motor 331, and a filling piston 35 is fixed to the other end of the strip plate 34. The canning cylinder 1 is cylindrical, and a limiting plate 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the canning cylinder 1. The limiting plate 6 is in contact with the strip plate 34.

[0020] The canning cylinder 1 serves as the space for containing and transporting the filling, and the canning head 2 at its open end is the outlet for the filling to enter the casing. The servo motor 331 drives the bidirectional lead screw 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 33, the strip 34 and the canning piston 35 to move, thereby pushing the filling inside the canning cylinder 1.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a casing retaining cylinder 4 is provided on one side of the filling head 2, and a casing conveying component is also provided. The casing conveying component includes a collar 51 that can be fitted onto the filling head 2. A hanging ring 7 is fixed to the side wall of the collar 51. An inner groove for the casing to be fitted is opened on the outer side of the hanging ring 7. A connecting strip 52 is fixed to the bottom of the collar 51. A through groove for the connecting strip 52 to slide is opened at the bottom of the casing retaining cylinder 4. A linear actuator 53 is provided on the side of the connecting strip 52. The telescopic end of the linear actuator 53 is fixed to the connecting strip 52.

[0022] The casing conveying component enables precise positioning and stable transport of casings. The collar 51 fits snugly onto the filling head 2, providing an initial positioning point for the casing. The inner groove of the hanging ring 7 facilitates casing insertion and fixation, ensuring the casing is in the correct position before filling. The linear actuator 53 controls the movement of the collar 51 and hanging ring 7 via the connecting strip 52, smoothly delivering the casing to the filling head 2 for filling, effectively preventing casing deviation or shaking during transport. The casing retainer 4 provides further auxiliary support for the casing, especially during filling, reducing the risk of bending or breakage due to uneven stress, ensuring casing integrity and filling process stability, thereby improving the yield and appearance quality of the sausage.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a base 11 is provided below the canning cylinder 1 and the casing retaining cylinder 4. The canning cylinder 1 and the casing retaining cylinder 4 are fixed to the base 11 by a connecting frame 12. A sliding groove 13 is provided on the base 11 for the connecting strip 52 to slide. A storage bin 8 is provided above the canning cylinder 1. A conveying pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of the storage bin 8. A ball valve 10 is installed on the conveying pipe 9.

[0024] The storage bin 8 is used to store a large amount of filling, the conveying pipe 9 serves as the transmission channel for the filling, and the ball valve 10 can control the flow rate of the filling. This allows for easy adjustment of the filling supply during the filling process according to demand, ensuring the continuity and controllability of the filling operation, improving production efficiency, and helping to accurately control the filling amount of red sausage.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] Filling preparation: Place the sausage casing on the inner groove on the outer side of the hanging ring 7 of the sausage casing conveying component, open the ball valve 10 on the conveying pipe 9 at the bottom of the storage bin 8, so that the filling can flow into the filling cylinder 1 through the conveying pipe 9, and prepare the materials for filling.

[0027] Casing conveying and positioning: The casing is placed in the inner groove of the hanging ring 7 (initially, the linear actuator 53 is in the extended state, and the collar 51 is on the side of the casing retainer 4 away from the filling cylinder 1). The linear actuator 53 is started, and through the contraction movement of the linear actuator 53, the casing is conveyed to the filling head 2. The collar 51 is placed outside the filling head 2 to maintain stability. The casing retainer 4 provides a certain auxiliary support and protection for the casing, effectively preventing the casing from shaking or shifting during filling.

[0028] Filling Push: Servo motor 331 starts, and its output end is connected to bidirectional lead screw 32, which begins to rotate. A slider 33 is connected to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 32. The slider 33 moves along the lead screw as it rotates (the function of the limiting plate 6 is to limit the movement direction of the strip 34, ensuring that the filling piston 35 pushes the filling stably along a straight line inside the filling cylinder 1, and effectively preventing it from deviating or shaking, thereby ensuring that the filling can be evenly and stably filled into the casing through the filling head 2). The end of the slider 33 away from the servo motor 331 is fixed to the strip 34, and the other end of the strip 34 is fixed to the filling piston 35. Driven by the bidirectional lead screw 32, the filling piston 35 moves towards the filling head 2 inside the filling cylinder 1, applying pressure to the filling inside the filling cylinder 1, pushing the filling to the filling head 2 and conveying it into the casing.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
