Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac vermicelli production, and in particular to an automatic unloading device for konjac vermicelli packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac is sliced ​​and dried, then ground into konjac flour. After impurity removal and sieving, refined konjac flour is obtained. This refined flour is then puffed, mixed, and cooked before being shaped and finally drained to produce konjac noodles. After being bagged, the konjac noodles are sterilized in a water bath and then exit the conveyor belt.

[0003] Because packaged konjac noodles are crowded together when they come off the production line, the traditional packing method involves setting up a buffer station at the end of the line, where manual sorting and counting are performed to fill each box with the same number of bags of konjac noodles. Due to the high labor intensity and the uncertainty of manual counting, the number of bags of konjac noodles put into the final packaging box may be less than or more than the predetermined number. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an automatic unloading device for konjac vermicelli packaging, which solves the problem of errors in the quantity of bagged konjac vermicelli being packaged.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automatic unloading device for konjac vermicelli packaging, including an inclined vibrating channel, a rotatable polarizing block on the vibrating channel, a narrowing hopper at the upper end of the vibrating channel, and a rotatable conical feeding plate at the lower end of the vibrating channel. The conical feeding plate is arranged at an inclination, and a detection chute is provided on the side of the conical feeding plate away from the vibrating channel. A counting sensor is provided on the detection chute, and the counting sensor is used to detect bagged konjac vermicelli. The lower end of the detection chute is aligned with the top of the packaging box, and the transport speed of the bagged konjac vermicelli on the conical feeding plate is faster than the transport speed of the bagged konjac vermicelli on the vibrating channel.

[0006] In the preferred embodiment, the vibrating channel is provided with first side baffles on both sides, and the distance between the two first side baffles is greater than the width of a single bag of konjac noodles but less than twice the width of a bag of konjac noodles.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment, counting sensors are provided at both the end of the detection chute near the conical feed tray and the end near the packaging box.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a first base is provided at the lower end of the vibration channel. A high support and a low support are provided at both ends of the first base. A medium-height support is provided between the high support and the low support. A first drive motor is provided at the upper end of the medium-height support. The first drive motor is used to drive the polarization block to rotate. Connecting lugs are provided on both sides of the first side baffle. A spring is connected between each connecting lug and the high support and the low support.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment, polarization blocks are provided on both sides of the first side baffle, and a connecting shaft is connected between the two polarization blocks. One end of the connecting shaft is connected to the first drive motor via a flexible coupling.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment, the conical feed plate between the vibration trough and the detection chute is provided with arc-shaped guide rails on both sides, and multiple rotatable rollers are provided on the inner side of the guide rails.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a base frame is also provided, on which a second drive motor and a reducer are provided. A synchronous belt drive device is connected between the output shaft of the second drive motor and the input shaft of the reducer. A flange is provided at the output shaft end of the reducer, and multiple support rods are provided on the flange. The support rods are connected to the center of the guide rail.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a second base is also provided. The second base has a high support and a low support at its two ends, respectively. Both the high support and the low support have a ball joint seat at their upper ends. The low support has a lifting rod at its upper end, which is connected to the ball joint seat. The upper end of the ball joint seat is connected to the lower end of the detection chute.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The automatic unloading process reduces labor intensity, and the counting reliability is improved by replacing manual counting with a counting sensor installed at the packing point; an inclined channel is set at the end of the konjac vermicelli production line, allowing only single-bag konjac vermicelli to pass through, and vibration assists in arranging the vermicelli in a single row; the conical feeding disc accelerates the conveying process, resulting in clearly spaced bagged konjac vermicelli, which is more conducive to detection by the end counting sensor and prevents counting errors.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 An automatic unloading device for konjac vermicelli packaging includes an inclined vibrating trough 1, a rotatable polarizing block 103 on the vibrating trough 1, a narrowing hopper 101 at the upper end of the vibrating trough 1, and a rotatable conical feeding plate 2 at the lower end of the vibrating trough 1. The conical feeding plate 2 is arranged at an inclination, and a detection chute 3 is provided on the side of the conical feeding plate 2 away from the vibrating trough 1. A counting sensor 5 is provided on the detection chute 3 for detecting bagged konjac vermicelli 6. The lower end of the detection chute 3 is aligned with the top of the packaging box 4. The transport speed of the bagged konjac vermicelli 6 on the conical feeding plate 2 is faster than the transport speed of the bagged konjac vermicelli 6 on the vibrating trough 1.

[0023] In the preferred embodiment, the vibration channel 1 is provided with first side baffles 105 on both sides, and the distance between the two first side baffles 105 is greater than the width of a single bag of konjac noodles 6 and less than twice the width of a bag of konjac noodles 6.

[0024] Multiple support rods 113 are provided between the two first side baffles 105, and support the bottom plate of the channel.

[0025] After being sterilized at high temperature in a packaged bag, the konjac powder is dried and transported to the end of the automated production line. The narrowing hopper 101 is connected to the end of the konjac noodle production line. When the bagged konjac noodles 6 pass through the narrowing hopper 101, the width of the vibration channel 1 is only allowed for a single bagged konjac noodles 6 to pass through because the rear end of the narrowing hopper 101 is narrowed.

[0026] With the assistance of vibration in the vibrating channel 1, the bagged konjac noodles 6 slide down from the top of the vibrating channel 1 and reach the conical feeding plate 2.

[0027] Because the conical feeding disc 2 has a conical surface and is arranged at an angle, the side that connects with the vibrating channel 1 is relatively flat, while the side that connects with the detection chute 3 is relatively steep. By controlling the rotation speed of the conical feeding disc 2, the conveying speed of the conical feeding disc 2 is made slightly faster than the conveying speed of the bagged konjac noodles 6 on the vibrating channel 1. After the bagged konjac noodles 6 reach the conical feeding disc 2, they accelerate and slide down from the steep side onto the detection chute 3 under the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force, so that there is a certain distance between adjacent bagged konjac noodles 6.

[0028] The counting sensor 5 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor, installed on the second side baffle 301 of the detection chute 3. When the bagged konjac noodles 6 pass through, they cause obstruction, triggering a detection signal. Because the bagged konjac noodles 6 are arranged in a queue and accelerated, only one bagged konjac noodles 6 passes through the through-beam detection line at a time. The time interval between the process of the through-beam detection line from connection to obstruction and back to connection is obvious, making the detection more accurate and less prone to misjudgment.

[0029] In the preferred embodiment, counting sensors 5 are provided at both the end of the detection chute 3 near the conical feeding tray 2 and the end near the packaging box 4.

[0030] Both the front and rear ends of the counting sensor 5 are equipped with through-beam sensors. When the detection results of the two sets of sensors are consistent, it indicates that the packing count is accurate.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the vibration channel 1 is further provided with a first base 107, and the two ends of the first base 107 are respectively provided with a high support 108 and a low support 109. A medium-height support 111 is provided between the high support 108 and the low support 109. A first drive motor 102 is provided at the upper end of the medium-height support 111. The first drive motor 102 is used to drive the polarization block 103 to rotate. Connecting lugs 106 are provided on both sides of the first side baffle 105. A spring 110 is connected between each connecting lug 106 and the high support 108 and the low support 109.

[0032] In the preferred embodiment, polarizing blocks 103 are provided on both sides of the first side baffle 105, and a connecting shaft 112 is connected between the two polarizing blocks 103. A flexible coupling 104 is connected between one end of the connecting shaft 112 and the first drive motor 102.

[0033] The polarization blocks 103 on both sides make the vibration of the vibration channel 1 more symmetrical and uniform. The flexible coupling 104 has a vibration damping effect, which can reduce the damage of vibration to the first drive motor 102.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the conical feed pan 2 between the vibration trough 1 and the detection chute 3 is provided with arc-shaped guide rails 7 on both sides, and multiple rotatable rollers 701 are provided on the inner side of the guide rails 7.

[0035] The guide rail 7 can prevent the bagged konjac noodles 6 from falling out of the gap, and the roller 701 can reduce the frictional resistance of the bagged konjac noodles 6 on the guide rail 7.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a base frame 702 is also provided, on which a second drive motor 9 and a reducer 8 are provided. A synchronous belt drive device 10 is connected between the output shaft of the second drive motor 9 and the input shaft of the reducer 8. A flange 801 is provided at the output shaft end of the reducer 8, and multiple support rods 802 are provided on the flange 801. The support rods 802 are connected to the center of the guide rail 7.

[0037] The base frame 702 is connected to the ground via the platform.

[0038] The reducer 8 is a worm gear reducer, and the second drive motor 9 drives the guide rail 7 to rotate through the reducer 8.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a second base 302 is also provided. A high support 303 and a low support 304 are respectively provided at both ends of the second base 302. A ball joint seat 305 is provided at the upper end of both the high support 303 and the low support 304. A lifting rod 306 is provided at the upper end of the low support 304. The lifting rod 306 is connected to the ball joint seat 305. The upper end of the ball joint seat 305 is connected to the lower end of the detection chute 3.

[0040] The lifting rod 306 is threadedly connected to the low bracket 304, which can adjust the height of the lower end of the detection chute 3 to match different packaging boxes 4. After adjustment, the nut on the lifting rod 306 can be locked.

[0041] 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.
