Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of combination scale technology, and in particular to a rotary material dispensing and sweeping device for combination scales. Background Technology

[0002] A combination scale consists of multiple independent weighing units with feeding and discharging structures. The computer uses permutation and combination principles to automatically optimize and calculate the optimal combination of weighing units, resulting in the weight combination closest to the target weight value for packaging. The combination scale is placed on a work platform for weighing and packaging puffed foods, snack foods, and various food granules. Combination scales are available with 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, or even more weighing heads, each of which is an independent scale capable of weighing independently.

[0003] Existing combination scales have certain problems in actual use. When dealing with fibrous or clumpy foods, such as sauerkraut, the combination scales are mostly fed by direct downward falling from above. Even with a distribution hopper or vibrating plate to disperse the food and improve the control accuracy of food conveying, some food is still unevenly dispersed and may clump together. This results in uneven distribution of food from the distribution hopper onto the vibrating plate, reducing the control accuracy of food falling onto the vibrating plate and potentially increasing subsequent weighing errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, prevent clumping, improve food dispersion uniformity, enhance material feeding control accuracy, and reduce weighing errors, this application provides a rotary material distributing and sweeping device for a combination scale.

[0005] The rotary material distribution and sweeping device for a combined scale provided in this application adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A rotary material dispensing and sweeping device for a combination scale includes: a dispensing body, the dispensing body being conical, a connecting part being provided at the center of rotation of the dispensing body, the connecting part being used to connect to the output transmission shaft of a power device to drive the dispensing body to rotate, and a sweeping component being provided on the dispensing body, the sweeping component being used to sweep and disperse the food that falls when the dispensing body rotates.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the dispensing body is cone-shaped. After the food falls onto the dispensing body, it can slide freely and evenly to the surrounding area. At the same time, the rotation of the dispensing body and the setting of the sweeping component are more conducive to the even distribution of food, which helps to improve the uniformity of food falling and improve the weighing accuracy.

[0008] Optionally, the sweeping assembly includes a first sweeping assembly, wherein a plurality of the first sweeping assemblies are distributed at equal angles along the rotation center on the material dispensing body. The first sweeping assembly includes a sweeping support arm and a sweeping head. One end of the sweeping support arm is connected to the material dispensing body, and the sweeping head includes a sweeping plate. The sweeping plate is fixed on a sweeping plate seat, and the sweeping plate seat is connected to the other end of the sweeping support arm.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the setting of the first sweeping component, the sweeping plate is connected to the distributing body through the sweeping support arm. As the distributing body rotates, it can sweep up the dropped food and prevent the food from getting stuck between two adjacent scales (two adjacent linear vibrating discs).

[0010] Optionally, the sweeping plate seat is provided with a first long slot, and the sweeping plate seat is connected to the sweeping support arm by bolts passing through the first long slot.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection position between the sweeping plate seat and the sweeping support arm can be adjusted through the setting of the first long slot, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the sweeping plate seat and making it more adaptable.

[0012] Optionally, the sweeping plate is made of rubber.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber material is relatively soft and elastic, and will not damage food or the wire vibrating plate.

[0014] Optionally, the sweeping arm includes a first sweeping arm and a second sweeping arm connected end to end. The first end of the second sweeping arm is provided with a second long slot. The second sweeping arm is connected to the first sweeping arm by bolts passing through the second long slot.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the sweeping arm is divided into a first sweeping arm and a second sweeping arm, which allows for adjustment of the overall length of the sweeping arm and, consequently, the position of the sweeping plate, making it more adaptable.

[0016] Optionally, the sweeping assembly further includes a second sweeping assembly, wherein a plurality of the second sweeping assemblies are distributed at equal angles along the rotation center on the material distributing body, and the second sweeping assembly includes a sweeping rod connected to the material distributing body.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the sweeping rod, when rotating with the distributing body during material feeding, can disperse the falling food and improve the uniformity of food dispersion.

[0018] Optionally, the upper surface of the material distribution body is provided with guide ribs, and a plurality of guide ribs are distributed circumferentially along the rotation center axis of the material distribution body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and setting several guiding ribs, the food falling onto the dispensing body can be guided.

[0020] Optionally, the connecting part includes a connecting seat that passes through the center, and a slot is formed at the bottom of the connecting seat.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection seat facilitates coaxial connection between the drive shaft and the connecting part, and the slot facilitates coaxial circumferential fixation.

[0022] Optionally, the surface of the dispensing body is provided with an anti-stick mesh and coated with Teflon.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-stick mesh prevents food from sticking to the dispensing body, and the Teflon coating further improves the non-stick properties, while also reducing the coefficient of friction and improving sliding performance.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The dispensing body of this application is cone-shaped. After the food falls onto the dispensing body, it can slide freely and evenly to the surrounding area. At the same time, the rotation of the dispensing body and the setting of the sweeping component are more conducive to the even distribution of food, which helps to improve the uniformity of food falling and improve the weighing accuracy.

[0026] 2. This application, through the setting of the first sweeping component, connects the sweeping plate to the dispensing body via the sweeping support arm. As the dispensing body rotates, it can sweep away fallen food, preventing food from getting stuck between adjacent scales (adjacent vibrating discs). The first elongated slot allows adjustment of the connection position between the sweeping plate base and the sweeping support arm, enabling height adjustment of the sweeping plate base for greater adaptability. Dividing the sweeping support arm into a first sweeping support arm and a second sweeping support arm allows adjustment of the overall length of the sweeping support arm, thereby adjusting the position of the sweeping plate for even greater adaptability.

[0027] 3. The surface of the dispensing body of this application is provided with an anti-stick mesh and coated with Teflon. The anti-stick mesh prevents food from sticking to the dispensing body. The Teflon coating further improves the non-stick performance and can also reduce the coefficient of friction and improve the sliding performance. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0038] This application discloses a rotary material dispensing and sweeping device for a combination scale.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A rotary material distribution and sweeping device for a combination scale, comprising:

[0041] The material distribution body 1 is conical in shape. A connecting part is provided at the top of the rotation center of the material distribution body 1. The connecting part includes a connecting seat 2 that is centrally connected. A slot 3 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 2. The connecting part is used to connect with the output transmission shaft of the power device to drive the material distribution body 1 to rotate. The setting of the connecting seat 2 facilitates the coaxial connection between the transmission shaft and the connecting part. The slot 3 facilitates coaxial circumferential fixation.

[0042] The dispensing body 1 is equipped with a sweeping component, which is used to sweep and break up the food that falls when the dispensing body 1 rotates. The sweeping component includes a first sweeping component and a second sweeping component.

[0043] Three first sweeping components are evenly distributed along the rotation center on the dispensing body 1. Each first sweeping component includes a sweeping support arm 4 and a sweeping head. One end of the sweeping support arm 4 is connected to the dispensing body 1. The sweeping head includes a sweeping plate 5 and a sweeping plate seat 6. The sweeping plate 5 is made of rubber, which is soft and elastic, and will not damage the food or the vibrating disc. The sweeping plate 5 is fixed to the sweeping plate seat 6 by bolts, and the sweeping plate seat 6 is connected to the other end of the sweeping support arm 4. Through the arrangement of the first sweeping components, the sweeping plate 5, connected to the dispensing body 1 via the sweeping support arm 4, rotates with the dispensing body 1, cleaning up any fallen food and preventing food from getting stuck between adjacent scales (adjacent vibrating discs).

[0044] The sweeping plate base 6 has a first elongated slot 7, and the sweeping plate base 6 is connected to the sweeping support arm 4 by bolts passing through the first elongated slot 7. By setting the first elongated slot 7, the connection position between the sweeping plate base 6 and the sweeping support arm 4 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the sweeping plate base 6 and making it more adaptable.

[0045] The second sweeping assembly consists of five components evenly distributed along the rotation center on the distributing body 1. Each second sweeping assembly includes a sweeping rod 8 connected to the distributing body 1. The sweeping rod 8, as the distributing body 1 rotates during material feeding, disperses the falling food, improving the uniformity of food distribution.

[0046] The upper surface of the dispensing body 1 is provided with guide ribs 9. There are three guide ribs 9 distributed circumferentially along the rotation center axis of the dispensing body 1. Through the arrangement of multiple guide ribs 9, the food falling on the dispensing body 1 is guided.

[0047] The surface of the dispensing body 1 is provided with an anti-stick mesh and coated with Teflon. The anti-stick mesh prevents food from sticking to the dispensing body 1. The Teflon coating further improves the non-stick properties and can also reduce the coefficient of friction and improve the sliding properties.

[0048] The dispensing body 1 is cone-shaped. After food falls onto the dispensing body 1, it can slide freely and evenly to the surrounding area. In conjunction with the rotation of the dispensing body 1 and the setting of the sweeping component, it is more conducive to the even distribution of food, which helps to improve the uniformity of food falling and improve the weighing accuracy.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Reference Figure 6 A rotary material distributing and sweeping device for a combined scale includes all the contents of Embodiment 1, the difference being that the sweeping support arm 4 includes a first sweeping support arm 4-1 and a second sweeping support arm 4-2 connected end to end. The first end of the second sweeping support arm 4-2 has a second elongated slot 10, and the second sweeping support arm 4-2 is connected to the first sweeping support arm 4-1 by bolts passing through the second elongated slot 10. Dividing the sweeping support arm 4 into the first sweeping support arm 4-1 and the second sweeping support arm 4-2 allows for adjustment of the overall length of the sweeping support arm 4, thereby adjusting the position of the sweeping plate 5, resulting in greater adaptability.
