Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac product manufacturing, and specifically to an automatic packaging device for konjac products. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of konjac noodles, to ensure product quality and specification consistency, the noodles typically undergo weighing, cutting, and packaging processes. However, existing production lines suffer from inefficiencies in these key stages, specifically in the following ways: 1. Traditional weighing methods often rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices, making it difficult to achieve high-precision weight control. This results in a lengthy weighing process and is prone to errors. Inaccurate weighing not only affects the quality of the final product but may also lead to material waste in subsequent cutting and packaging steps, reducing overall production efficiency. 2. Previous cutting equipment often uses a single blade or simple shearing mechanism, which cannot complete the cutting task quickly and accurately. Especially when handling konjac noodles of varying thicknesses or flexibility, the cutting effect is poor, easily causing uneven breakage or residue. Inaccurate cutting leads to inconsistent product specifications, increasing the proportion of defective products, while also prolonging the overall production line uptime and reducing capacity. 3. Traditional packaging equipment has a complex structure and its operation is not smooth enough, especially in situations involving the coordinated work of multiple components, such as the coordination between the opening and closing of the cone hopper and the can conveyor, which often results in jamming, affecting the filling speed. Lower filling and packaging efficiency directly limits the output capacity of the entire production line, increases production costs, and may delay delivery. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an automatic packaging device for konjac products, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: it includes a feeding cylinder, a cutting device in the middle of the feeding cylinder, a weighing cylinder at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, multiple weighing sensors connected to the feeding cylinder around the periphery of the weighing cylinder, hinged rotating cone hoppers on both sides of the bottom of the weighing cylinder, a packaging and conveying mechanism below the cone hopper, a movable tank on the packaging and conveying mechanism, and a feeding conveyor mechanism above the feeding cylinder, on which konjac noodles conveyed by the feeding conveyor mechanism fall into the feeding cylinder.

[0005] Preferably, the end of the feeding conveyor mechanism is provided with a pressure roller, which is used to fix the konjac noodles conveyed on the feeding conveyor mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the slitting device has two relatively rotating cutters stacked on top of each other, with the opposite side of the two cutters forming the cutting edge, and the ends of the two cutters rotating inside the feed cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, a first motor is fixed at both ends of the slitting device, the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the middle of the corresponding cutter, and a positioning shaft is provided between the middle of the two cutters.

[0008] Preferably, the two cones rotate against the weighing cylinder at both ends via pins, and two meshing gears are provided between the two cones. The gears are fixed at both ends of the cones and are coaxial with the pins.

[0009] Preferably, a fixed base is fixed on one side of the weighing cylinder, and a second motor is fixed on the fixed base. The output shaft of the second motor is connected to a gear at one end.

[0010] Preferably, the cutting edge of the cutter is arc-shaped.

[0011] This utility model provides an automatic packaging device for konjac products, with the following advantages:

[0012] 1. Multiple load cells are distributed around the weighing cylinder to monitor the weight changes of the konjac noodles in real time, ensuring the accuracy of each weighing. This achieves automated weighing, reduces human intervention, improves weighing speed and accuracy, and ensures the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps.

[0013] 2. Two relatively rotating cutters, independently driven by a first motor and supported by a positioning shaft, are introduced to generate efficient shearing force, quickly cutting konjac noodles. This significantly improves cutting speed and quality, resulting in a smoother cut surface, reducing uneven breakage of the noodles, and adapting to various types of konjac products.

[0014] 3. Two meshing gears are fixed at both ends of the conical hopper. A second motor drives one of the gears, causing the two conical hoppers to rotate relative to each other, achieving a fast and stable opening and closing action, ensuring that the konjac noodles fall smoothly into the tank. This simplifies the filling process, increases the filling speed, reduces downtime caused by equipment failure or uncoordinated actions, and enhances the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic packaging device for konjac products includes a feeding cylinder 3, a cutting device 4 in the middle of the feeding cylinder 3, a weighing cylinder 5 at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 3, multiple weighing sensors 6 connected to the feeding cylinder 3 around the weighing cylinder 5, hinged rotating cone hoppers 7 on both sides of the bottom of the weighing cylinder 5, a packaging conveying mechanism 9 below the cone hoppers 7, a movable tank 10 on the packaging conveying mechanism 9, and a feeding conveyor mechanism 1 above the feeding cylinder 3, on which konjac noodles conveyed by the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 fall into the feeding cylinder 3.

[0022] Konjac noodles are conveyed into the feeding cylinder 3 by the conveyor mechanism 1 and fall into the weighing cylinder 5 and the cone hopper 7. The falling konjac noodles are weighed by the weighing sensor 6. After the set weight is reached, the conveyor mechanism 1 is stopped and the konjac noodles are cut by the cutting device 4. The cone hopper 7 is then driven to open so that the konjac noodles can enter the tank 10 on the packaging conveyor mechanism 9.

[0023] Preferably, the end of the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 is provided with a pressure roller 2, which is used to fix the konjac noodles conveyed on the feeding conveyor mechanism 1.

[0024] The konjac noodles move and are conveyed on the feeding conveyor mechanism 1. The pressure roller 2 can tension the konjac noodles to ensure that the konjac noodles can remain stationary when the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 stops.

[0025] While the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 is operating and conveying konjac noodles, the gap between the pressure roller 2 and the conveyor belt is adjusted to an appropriate size to allow the konjac noodles to pass smoothly without being excessively squeezed. Once the weighing sensor 6 detects that the konjac noodles in the weighing cylinder 5 have reached the preset weight, the control system sends a signal to stop the feeding conveyor mechanism 1. At the same time, the pressure roller 2 applies appropriate pressure to the konjac noodles to ensure that they do not continue to move forward due to inertia or other external forces, maintaining a stationary state to await subsequent processing. After the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 stops, the slitting device 4 is ready. At this time, due to the action of the pressure roller 2, the konjac noodles are firmly fixed and can be precisely cut. In this way, the pressure roller 2 not only enhances the stability and reliability of the entire system, but also further improves production efficiency and product quality. This design is particularly suitable for automated production lines that require high-precision weighing and cutting.

[0026] Preferably, the slitting device 4 is provided with two relatively rotating cutters 401, the two cutters 401 are stacked, the opposite side of the two cutters 401 is the cutting edge, and the ends of the two cutters 401 are located inside the feed cylinder 3 and rotate.

[0027] The konjac noodles fall into the feed cylinder 3 and are weighed in the cone hopper 7. Then, by driving the two cutters 401 to rotate relative to each other, the konjac noodles can be cut.

[0028] Two relatively rotating cutters 401 achieve rapid cutting through shearing force, resulting in high efficiency and precise movement. This design is suitable for continuous production and can meet the needs of large-scale industry. Shearing cutting is more stable than single-blade cutting, producing a smooth cut surface and reducing waste caused by noodle breakage or pulling. This design ensures consistent cutting results for konjac noodles of varying thicknesses and flexibility. The modular design of cutters 401 facilitates disassembly and replacement, reducing maintenance costs. High-strength, wear-resistant materials can be used for the cutters to extend their service life. The slitting device 4 seamlessly integrates with the weighing and conveying systems, eliminating the need for manual intervention and improving the overall automation level of the production line.

[0029] Preferably, a first motor 8 is fixed at both ends of the slitting device 4, and the output shaft of the first motor 8 is connected to the middle of the corresponding cutter 401. A positioning shaft 402 is provided between the middle of the two cutters 401.

[0030] The cutting edge of the 401 cutter is arc-shaped.

[0031] Two first motors 8 drive two cutters 401 to rotate, causing them to rotate relative to each other and cut the konjac noodles. The positioning shaft 402 ensures the stability of the rotation of the two cutters 401. The arc-shaped cutters 401 ensure that the two cutters 401 are centered when cutting the konjac noodles.

[0032] The slitting device 4 independently drives two cutters 401 to rotate relative to each other via two first motors 8, and uses a positioning shaft 402 to provide stability support, achieving efficient and precise konjac noodle cutting. This design not only improves cutting quality and production efficiency but also enhances the reliability and maintainability of the equipment. Combined with other automated components, this device can meet the modern food processing industry's demand for efficient, precise, and reliable equipment.

[0033] Preferably, the two cone hoppers 7 are rotated by abutting against the weighing cylinder 5 at both ends via pins, and two meshing gears 12 are provided between the two cone hoppers 7. The gears 12 are fixed at both ends of the cone hoppers 7 and are coaxially arranged with the pins.

[0034] The two gears 12 mesh with each other, causing the two cone hoppers 7 to rotate relative to each other, thus causing the konjac noodles in the cone hoppers 7 to fall into the tank 10 for filling.

[0035] A fixed base 11 is fixed on one side of the weighing cylinder 5, and a second motor 13 is fixed on the fixed base 11. The output shaft of the second motor 13 is connected to a gear 12 at one end.

[0036] The second motor 13 drives a gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the two cone buckets 7 to rotate relative to each other through transmission.

[0037] The cone hopper 7 is driven by gear 12 and a second motor 13, enabling relative rotation of the two cone hoppers 7, thus completing the efficient filling of konjac noodles. This design not only improves the smoothness and accuracy of the filling action but also enhances the reliability and ease of maintenance of the equipment. Combined with other automated components, this device can meet the modern food processing industry's demand for efficient, precise, and reliable equipment.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
