Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production and processing equipment, specifically to an automatic packaging equipment for pie-type foods. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is a large market demand for red bean pies, and traditional manual production methods can no longer meet the demand. Automated production equipment is now generally used for large-scale production of red bean pies. Traditional packaging involves manually shoveling the finished red bean pies one by one into packaging bags using a spatula, placing paper between adjacent bags, and then manually weighing and unpacking each bag. Because automated production equipment produces red bean pies much faster, manual shoveling cannot keep up with the production speed, thus requiring additional manpower, which increases labor costs. Furthermore, since red bean pies are a special-supply product with high quality requirements, manual shoveling is affected by individual employee differences, such as skill level and mood, which impacts both the quantity and quality of red bean pies produced. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop automated packaging equipment suitable for pie-type foods. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] An embodiment of the automatic packaging equipment for pie-type foods according to this utility model:

[0026] The specific structure of an automatic packaging equipment for pie-type foods is as follows: Figures 1 to 3As shown, the system includes a series of conveyors arranged sequentially: a flat conveyor 1, a fan-shaped conveyor 3, a second flat conveyor 2, a third flat conveyor 3 11, a tray conveyor 6, a tray conveyor 7, and a finished product conveyor 8. Flat conveyor 1 connects to the product forming mechanism to receive products. The fan-shaped conveyor 3 divides a long row of products to be packaged into two shorter rows for subsequent packaging. Flat conveyor 2 transports the two shorter rows of products backwards. Flat conveyor 2 2 is wider or has two parallel rows to transport the two shorter rows of products from the fan-shaped conveyor 3. The two shorter rows of products are then transferred via flat conveyor 3 11 and subsequently enter the tray conveyor 7 via the tray conveyor 6. After stacking to a specified quantity, they are then discharged by the same finished product conveyor 8.

[0027] The fan-shaped conveyor 3 can change the arrangement of products conveyed by the flat conveyor 1. Through the parallel conveying of the flat conveyor 2, two rows of products can be put into the tray at the same time, which improves the processing efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the product to be packaged is red bean pie. The flat conveyor 1 transports 10 red bean pies per row, and the fan-shaped conveyor 3 separates the 10-row-per-column red bean pies into 5-row-per-column rows, then feeds the two columns of red bean pies into the subsequent flat conveyor 2. In other embodiments, this invention can also be used for the automatic packaging of other pie-type foods.

[0029] Above the second plane conveyor 2, there is a slurry coating machine 4. Multiple sets of slurry coating machines 4 are arranged in sequence along the running direction of the second plane conveyor 2. The slurry coating machine 4 controls the slurry to flow downward evenly so as to coat the products passing below with slurry.

[0030] The second flat conveyor 2 includes a perforated conveyor belt. Excess slurry on the product, after being coated with slurry, falls through the perforations during transport along the second flat conveyor 2. A paper padding machine 5 is located below the third flat conveyor 11. Two paper padding machines 5 and two corresponding second paper padding machines 11 are installed in parallel. The paper padding machine 5 is used to pad paper above the corresponding column of the third flat conveyor 11, ensuring that the product falls onto the paper padding when entering the third flat conveyor 11.

[0031] Two tray conveyors 6 are arranged in parallel, corresponding to two parallel planar conveyors 3 11. The conveying plane of the tray conveyor 7 is lower than that of the planar conveyor 3 11. The rear end of the tray conveyor 6 is inclined downward to achieve the effect of connecting to the planar conveyor 3 11 in front and the tray conveyor 7 behind. Empty trays are transported on the tray conveyor 7. After the product with padding paper is placed, it falls into the tray conveyor 7 through the rear end of the tray conveyor 6. After reaching a set number of layers, the tray conveyor 7 moves backward a specified distance so that the next empty tray is located below the material drop point at the rear end of the tray conveyor 6.

[0032] The specific structure of the inbound conveyor 6 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes a fixed bracket 61, a conveyor belt 62, a power drive component 63, and a photoelectric detection sensor 64. The fixed bracket 61 is used to fix the conveyor body and adjust the vertical height. The conveyor belt 62 is installed on the driven roller and the driving roller to drive the product flow. The power drive component 63 is used to drive the conveyor belt 62 to run. The photoelectric detection sensor 64 is used to accurately detect the position of the red bean pie product 10.

[0033] The tray conveyor 7 includes a support 71, a tray conveyor belt 72, a power unit 73, and a baffle 74. The support 71 is used to fix and connect the main body and adjust the vertical height. The tray conveyor belt 72 is used to drive the trays to flow from front to back. The power unit 73 is used to drive the tray conveyor belt 72 to move in a stepping motion. The baffle 74 is installed on the conveyor belt and is used to accurately control the spacing of the trays 75 and push the trays 75 forward.

[0034] It should be emphasized that the baffles 74 are evenly distributed on the tray conveyor belt 72, and the trays 75 are close to the side wall of the same side of the baffles 74. Therefore, the distance between two adjacent trays 75 is the same. When the tray conveyor belt 72 is driven by the stepper motor to step the same distance each time, it can ensure that the products falling from the rear end of the tray conveyor 6 can accurately enter the trays 75.

[0035] The belt conveyor 311 includes an inlet end and an outlet end, and the belt conveyor 22 at this location is equipped with an anti-sticking paper mechanism 9. The anti-sticking paper mechanism 9 includes a scraper 91, a receiving box 1 92, a scraper 93, and a receiving box 2 94. The scraper 91 is located at the outlet end 22 and is fixed to the frame. It contacts the conveying plane of the belt conveyor 311, so the slurry adhering to the conveyor belt can be scraped off by the scraper 91, preventing the conveyor belt from being too sticky and sticking to the paper, thus ensuring successful paper application for each product 10. The receiving box 92 is also fixed to the frame and is located below the scraper 91 to receive the slurry scraped off by the scraper 91.

[0036] The scraper 93 is positioned near the feed end and its function is to scrape off the slurry that was not completely removed by the scraper 91 in the first scraping. The receiving box 94 is longer and extends below the scraper 93 to receive the slurry flowing down under its own weight and the slurry scraped off by the scraper 93.

[0037] Understandably, the scraper 93 serves as a secondary scraper to remove the pulp. If the primary scraping effect of the scraper 91 is good, the scraper 93 can be omitted. Correspondingly, if it is found that after the secondary scraping of the pulp by the scraper 93, the conveyor belt still has paper sticking to it due to the pulp adhering to it, the number of scrapers 93 arranged in series can be increased.

[0038] In this embodiment, the scraper 91 includes a guide surface, the lower end of which is inclined toward the discharge direction to prevent the scraped slurry from sticking to the frame.

[0039] In this embodiment, the scraper 91 is located below the belt conveyor 11 to scrape off the slurry on the conveyor belt as it turns during transport.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
