[0045] After the production of white sugar is completed, in order to facilitate the white sugar to flow into the market for sale, it is necessary to quantitatively pack the white sugar in the packaging bag. In the related technology, for the quantitative packing of white sugar, a certain mass of white sugar needs to be manually weighed by the staff, and then the weighed white sugar is manually packed into the packaging bag. The above manual weighing and packing of white sugar not only has low work efficiency, but also has high labor intensity and is easy to fatigue, which cannot meet the actual demand.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, as shown in the background art Figure 1 The quantitative packing mechanism includes a weighing assembly 300 and a feeding assembly 100, a storage hopper 200 and a loading assembly 400 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The feeding assembly 100 can feed white sugar downward into the storage hopper 200. The input end of the loading assembly 400 is in communication with the lower end opening of the storage hopper 200. The output end of the loading assembly 400 can be sealingly docked with the packaging bag. The loading assembly 400 is configured to pack the white sugar in the storage hopper 200 into the packaging bag which is sealingly docked with the output end of the loading assembly 400. The weighing assembly 300 is used to detect the mass of the white sugar in the storage hopper 200. The weighing assembly 300 is in communication connection with the feeding assembly 100 and the loading assembly 400 respectively. The weighing assembly 300 can separately control the opening and closing of the feeding assembly 100 and the loading assembly 400.

[0047] The quantitative packing mechanism sequentially arranges the feeding assembly 100, the storage hopper 200 and the loading assembly 400 from top to bottom, so that the input end of the loading assembly 400 is in communication with the lower end opening of the storage hopper 200, the output end of the loading assembly 400 can be sealingly docked with the packaging bag, and the weighing assembly 300 in communication connection with the feeding assembly 100 and the loading assembly 400 respectively is arranged. The mass of the white sugar in the storage hopper 200 is detected by the weighing assembly 300. When the feeding assembly 100 feeds the white sugar downward into the storage hopper 200, the weighing assembly 300 controls the loading assembly 400 to close according to the mass detection information of the white sugar in the storage hopper 200. As the feeding assembly 100 continuously feeds the white sugar into the storage hopper 200, the mass of the white sugar in the storage hopper 200 continuously increases until it reaches the preset mass. At this time, the weighing assembly 300 controls the feeding assembly 100 to close and controls the loading assembly 400 to open, so that the loading assembly 400 sealingly docks the packaging bag with the output end of the loading assembly 400, and packs the white sugar of the preset mass in the storage hopper 200 into the packaging bag, to realize the quantitative packing of the white sugar. The degree of automation is high, which not only can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the staff, but also can greatly improve the work efficiency, and meet the actual demand.

[0048] It should be noted that the quantitative dispensing mechanism provided in the embodiment is not only suitable for white sugar, but also suitable for quantitative dispensing of salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence or other granular products. The quantitative dispensing product is not specifically limited in the embodiment.

[0049] Specifically, the weighing assembly 300 includes a weighing member and a controller. The weighing member is used to weigh the mass of white sugar in the storage hopper 200. The weighing member, the feeding assembly 100 and the loading assembly 400 are respectively in communication connection with the controller. The controller can separately control the opening and closing of the feeding assembly 100 and the loading assembly 400. In the actual operation process, the weighing member transmits the detection information to the controller in real time. The controller controls the opening and closing of the feeding assembly 100 and the loading assembly 400 in real time according to the detection information, so as to ensure the quantitative dispensing of white sugar. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the weighing member is a weighing scale, and the controller is a single-chip microcomputer system based on PLC. The working principles of the weighing scale and the single-chip microcomputer system based on PLC are both prior art, and will not be described here.

[0050] As an optional solution, the feeding assembly 100 includes a feeding bin 110 and a first valve 120. The upper end of the feeding bin 110 is in communication with the output end of the white sugar production equipment. The lower end of the feeding bin 110 has an opening, and the opening is opposite to the upper end opening of the storage hopper 200 in the upward and downward direction. The first valve 120 is arranged at the opening of the feeding bin 110. The first valve 120 is in communication connection with the controller in the weighing assembly 300. The first valve 120 can open or block the opening. By making the upper end of the feeding bin 110 in communication with the output end of the white sugar production equipment, the white sugar at the processing position of the white sugar production equipment can be quickly transferred to the feeding bin 110. By arranging the first valve 120 at the opening of the lower end of the feeding bin 110, and making the first valve 120 in communication connection with the controller, and making the controller control the first valve 120 to open or block the opening of the lower end of the feeding bin 110, the mass of white sugar fed into the storage hopper 200 can be freely controlled. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the first valve 120 is an electromagnetic valve. The electromagnetic valve has simple structure, convenient disassembly and assembly, sensitive response, good sealing effect and high automation degree.

[0051] In the embodiment, the diameter of the feeding channel in the feeding bin 110 gradually decreases from top to bottom. By making the diameter of the feeding channel in the feeding bin 110 gradually decrease from top to bottom, the large-diameter end of the feeding channel can be connected with the white sugar production equipment, and the small-diameter end of the feeding channel can be used to feed white sugar to the storage hopper 200, so as to provide guidance for the feeding and discharging of white sugar.

[0052] In actual operation, the white sugar accumulated in the feeding bin 110 can block the opening. In order to further improve the feeding effect of the white sugar in the feeding bin 110, the feeding assembly 100 further comprises a vibrator 130, wherein the vibrator 130 is configured to vibrate the feeding bin 110. By vibrating the feeding bin 110 through the vibrator 130, the white sugar blocked at the opening can be shaken off, so as to ensure the smooth feeding of the white sugar along the opening. It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the vibrator 130 are both prior art, and will not be described here.

[0053] In addition, the side wall of the feeding bin 110 is provided with an observation window 111. By providing the observation window 111 on the side wall of the feeding bin 110, the staff can easily observe the state of the white sugar in the feeding channel, further ensuring the normal use of the feeding bin 110.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, a buffer ball 210 is arranged in the storage hopper 200, the buffer ball 210 is rotatably installed in the storage space of the storage hopper 200, and the buffer ball 210 is used to impact and block the white sugar fed by the feeding assembly 100 into the storage space. By rotatably installing the buffer ball 210 in the storage space and impacting and blocking the white sugar entering the storage hopper 200 by the buffer ball 210, the white sugar fed by the feeding bin 110 can be prevented from directly impacting the weighing member, thereby improving the protection of the weighing member.

[0055] In some embodiments, the loading assembly 400 comprises a loading pipe 410, a locking piece 420, and a second valve 430, wherein one end of the loading pipe 410 is in communication with the lower end opening of the storage hopper 200, the other end of the loading pipe 410 can extend into the packaging opening of the packaging bag, the locking piece 420 is arranged on the outer periphery of the loading pipe 410, the locking piece 420 can seal the packaging opening of the packaging bag around the outer periphery of the loading pipe 410, the second valve 430 is in communication connection with the controller in the weighing assembly 300, and the second valve 430 can conduct or block the loading pipe 410. By connecting one end of the loading pipe 410 with the opening at the lower end of the storage hopper 200, arranging the locking piece 420 on the outer periphery of the loading pipe 410, and sealing the packaging opening of the packaging bag around the outer periphery of the loading pipe 410 by the locking piece 420 when the other end of the loading pipe 410 extends into the packaging opening of the packaging bag, in combination with the second valve 430 in communication connection with the controller, the controller controls the second valve 430 to conduct or block the loading pipe 410, the white sugar in the storage hopper 200 can be filled into the packaging bag along the loading pipe 410. In addition, since the locking piece 420 seals the packaging opening of the packaging bag around the outer periphery of the loading pipe 410, the leakage of white sugar along the packaging opening during the filling of white sugar into the packaging bag can be avoided, thereby ensuring the filling effect of white sugar in the packaging bag. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second valve 430 is an electromagnetic valve. The electromagnetic valve has simple structure, convenient disassembly and assembly, sensitive response, and good sealing effect.

[0056] In addition, the specific structure and working principle of the locking piece 420 are both prior art, and will not be described here.

[0057] As an optional solution, the quantitative packaging mechanism further comprises a transfer assembly (not shown in the figure), wherein the transfer assembly is capable of transferring the packaging bag without white sugar to the end of the filling pipe 410 away from the storage hopper 200, and removing the packaging bag filled with white sugar from the end of the filling pipe 410 away from the storage hopper 200.

[0058] Specifically, the transfer assembly comprises a pickup, a first driving piece, a second driving piece, and a third driving piece, wherein the pickup is used to clamp and fix the packaging bag, the output end of the first driving piece is connected with the pickup, the first driving piece is capable of driving the pickup to move in a first direction, the output end of the second driving piece is connected with the first driving piece, the second driving piece is capable of driving the first driving piece to move in a second direction, the output end of the third driving piece is connected with the second driving piece, the third driving piece is capable of driving the second driving piece to move in a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in space. By connecting the pickup with the output end of the first driving piece, connecting the first driving piece with the output end of the second driving piece, and connecting the second driving piece with the output end of the third driving piece, the first driving piece drives the pickup to move in the first direction, the second driving piece drives the first driving piece to move in the second direction, and the third driving piece drives the second driving piece to move in the third direction, thereby ensuring that the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in space, achieving the effect that the first driving piece, the second driving piece, and the third driving piece drive the pickup to move arbitrarily in space, and in combination with the clamping and fixing of the packaging bag by the pickup, achieving the effect that the pickup transfers the packaging bag without white sugar to the end of the filling pipe 410 away from the storage hopper 200, and removes the packaging bag filled with white sugar from the end of the filling pipe 410 away from the storage hopper 200.

[0059] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the pickup is a pneumatic gripper, and the first driving piece, the second driving piece, and the third driving piece are all screw nut structures.
