Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a disposable wooden tableware testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A disposable wooden tableware inspection machine is an automated machine specifically designed to identify and screen defective products in the production process of disposable wooden tableware (such as chopsticks, forks, etc.). This equipment uses advanced image recognition technology, sensors, or other visual inspection systems to quickly scan the surface and structure of the tableware to check for cracks, deformation, stains, inconsistent dimensions, or other quality problems. Through high-precision inspection, it ensures that only flawless products are packaged and sent to the market, thereby improving the overall quality of the products and the safety of consumers.
[0003] A search revealed that patent number "CN218223589U" discloses "a disposable wooden tableware testing machine, comprising a body, a conveying mechanism, and a testing mechanism; the body has a PLC controller at its front end, with the input of the PLC controller electrically connected to an external power source; the conveying mechanism is located inside the body; the testing mechanism includes a rectangular frame, a mounting plate, a CCD camera, a threaded hole, and an adjusting screw. The rectangular frame is located on the top wall of the body, and the mounting plate is slidably connected inside the rectangular frame. A CCD camera is located at the lower end of the mounting plate, and the output of the CCD camera is electrically connected to the PLC controller." The C controller's input terminal has a threaded hole at the top of the mounting plate, and the top wall of the rectangular frame is connected to an adjusting screw via a bearing. During use, this disposable wooden tableware inspection machine can automatically detect the shape of disposable wooden tableware and automatically collect defective products, ensuring a high yield of disposable wooden tableware. It is simple to operate, convenient to use, and has a wide range of applications. However, during the inspection of wooden tableware, due to the poor stability of the wood material itself, gaps are easily generated at points such as knots during production. Simply inspecting from one side can easily lead to the failure to detect these gaps and leaks.
[0004] To address these issues, we have developed a disposable wooden tableware testing machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a disposable wooden tableware testing machine, which solves the problem that in the process of testing wooden tableware, due to the poor stability of the wooden material itself, gaps are easily generated in the wood knots and other parts during the production process, and it is easy to miss the gaps and holes when testing only one side.
[0006] This application provides a disposable wooden tableware testing machine, including a support body and a tableware testing mechanism, wherein the tableware testing mechanism is provided on the upper side of the support body;
[0007] The tableware detection mechanism includes a tableware detection component disposed on the upper side of the support body, a rotary sorting component disposed on the inner side of the tableware detection component, and a detection gripping component disposed at the end of the rotary sorting component.
[0008] Preferably, the tableware detection component includes a data processor disposed on the upper side of the support body, a support rod mounted on the upper side of the data processor, fluorescent lamps disposed on the lower side of each support rod, and a video camera disposed on the front side of each fluorescent lamp.
[0009] Preferably, the rotary sorting assembly includes a support frame disposed on the right side inside the data processor, a rotary groove disposed on the inner side of the support frame, an electric rotary shaft mounted in the middle of the rotary groove, and a rotary plate mounted on the front side of the electric rotary shaft.
[0010] Preferably, the detection gripping assembly includes a hydraulic telescopic rod disposed at the end of the rotating plate, a detection rotary motor welded to the lower end of the hydraulic telescopic rod, and a detection rotary shaft mounted on the right side of the detection rotary motor.
[0011] Preferably, a fixed rotating groove is welded to the right side of the detection rotating shaft, a fixed motor is installed on the front side of the fixed rotating groove, an extension arm is installed in the middle of the detection rotating shaft, and a fixed cotton column is installed at the end of the extension arm.
[0012] Preferably, a gripping motor is provided on the lower side of the fixed rotating groove, a gripping shaft is installed on the lower side of the gripping motor, and a semi-circular gripping arm is welded to the right side of the gripping shaft.
[0013] Preferably, a conveying assembly is installed on the front side of the support body. The conveying assembly includes a conveying frame disposed on the front side of the support body, a conveying motor welded to the front side of the conveying frame, a conveying shaft installed in the middle of the conveying motor, and a conveyor belt wrapped around the outside of the conveying shaft.
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a disposable wooden tableware inspection machine. In use, the support body and conveyor frame are first moved to the desired position. After preparation, the conveyor motor drives the conveyor belt to rotate via the conveyor shaft. When the bowl-shaped or plate-shaped wooden tableware moves below the semi-circular gripper arm, the hydraulic telescopic rod moves the semi-circular gripper arm downwards. Then, two sets of gripping motors drive the gripping shaft to simultaneously move the semi-circular gripper arm inwards, fixing the bowl-shaped or plate-shaped wooden tableware. Simultaneously, the fixing motor outside the rotating groove drives the extension arm to rotate, finally securing the fixing cotton column inside the bowl-shaped or plate-shaped wooden tableware, thus achieving a fixing effect. After fixing, the detection rotation motor drives the fixing rotation groove to rotate via the detection rotation shaft, thereby achieving a rotation detection effect. During rotation, the fluorescent light under the support rod illuminates the wooden tableware, while the video camera visually perceives the wooden tableware. The data is then analyzed by the data processor. When damage to the wooden tableware is detected, the electric rotating shaft of the rotating groove inside the support frame drives the rotating plate to rotate, thereby rotating the entire machine to achieve a sorting effect.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. Through the setup of the tableware inspection mechanism, when needed, fluorescent lamps will illuminate the wooden tableware. During the illumination process, different intensity light spots will appear on the protruding and concave parts of the wooden tableware. At this time, the video camera can better capture whether the quality of the wooden tableware is qualified. The electric rotating shaft drives the rotating plate to rotate along the rotating groove in the support frame. In this way, if unqualified products are found during the inspection process, they can be directly moved to the predetermined unqualified product storage location by the electric rotating shaft for separate storage.
[0017] 2. The tableware inspection mechanism utilizes a rotating motor that drives a fixed rotating groove to rotate via a rotating shaft. A hydraulic telescopic rod extends and retracts the entire structure to assist in the rotational inspection of the wooden tableware's quality. Simultaneously, two sets of semi-circular gripping arms, driven by gripping motors, grip the wooden tableware via a gripping shaft. A fixed motor then drives an extension arm within the fixed rotating groove to secure the pre-positioned wooden tableware, preventing bowls from falling off during rotation due to diameter differences.
[0018] In summary, this application can reduce the problem of damaged or leaky bottoms of wooden tableware leading to the shipment of substandard products and damage to product reputation. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] See Figure 1-4 A disposable wooden tableware testing machine includes a support body 1 and a tableware testing mechanism 2, wherein the tableware testing mechanism 2 is provided on the upper side of the support body 1;
[0027] The tableware detection mechanism 2 includes a tableware detection component 21 disposed on the upper side of the support body 1, a rotary sorting component 22 disposed on the inner side of the tableware detection component 21, and a detection gripping component 23 disposed at the end of the rotary sorting component 22.
[0028] In this utility model, the tableware detection component 21 includes a data processor 211 disposed on the upper side of the support body 1. A support rod 212 is installed on the upper side of the data processor 211. Fluorescent lamps 213 are disposed on the lower side of the support rods 212. A video camera 214 is disposed on the front side of the fluorescent lamps 213. When it is needed, the fluorescent lamps 213 will illuminate the wooden tableware. During the illumination of the wooden tableware by the fluorescent lamps 213, light spots of different intensities will appear on the protruding and concave parts. At this time, the video camera 214 can better capture whether the quality of the wooden tableware is qualified.
[0029] In this invention, the rotary sorting assembly 22 includes a support frame 221 located on the right side inside the data processor 211. A rotary groove 222 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 221. An electric rotary shaft 223 is installed in the middle of the rotary groove 222. A rotary plate 224 is installed on the front side of the electric rotary shaft 223. When needed, the electric rotary shaft 223 drives the rotary plate 224 to rotate along the rotary groove 222 inside the support frame 221. In this way, if a defective product is found during the inspection process, it can be directly rotated to the predetermined defective product storage location by the electric rotary shaft 223 for separate storage.
[0030] In this invention, the detection gripping component 23 includes a hydraulic telescopic rod 231 disposed at the end of the rotating plate 224. A detection rotary motor 232 is welded to the lower end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 231, and a detection rotary shaft 233 is installed on the right side of the detection rotary motor 232. When needed, the detection rotary motor 232 drives the fixed rotating groove 234 to rotate through the detection rotary shaft 233, while the hydraulic telescopic rod 231 can drive the whole to extend and retract in height, thereby assisting in the rotation detection of the quality of wooden tableware.
[0031] In this invention, a fixed rotating groove 234 is welded to the right side of the detection rotating shaft 233, a fixed motor 235 is installed on the front side of the fixed rotating groove 234, an extension arm 236 is installed in the middle of the detection rotating shaft 233, and a fixed cotton column 237 is installed at the end of the extension arm 236. When needed, the fixed motor 235 drives the extension arm 236 in the fixed rotating groove 234 to fix the fixed wooden tableware, thus preventing the wooden tableware in the bowl from falling off due to the diameter problem during the rotation.
[0032] In this utility model, a gripping motor 238 is provided on the lower side of the fixed rotating groove 234, and a gripping shaft 239 is installed on the lower side of the gripping motor 238. A semi-circular gripping arm 2310 is welded to the right side of the gripping shaft 239. When needed, the two sets of semi-circular gripping arms 2310 are simultaneously gripped by the gripping motor 238 driving the gripping shaft 239 to perform gripping operations on the semi-circular gripping arms 2310, thereby performing gripping and inspection operations on wooden tableware.
[0033] In some embodiments, a conveying assembly 3 is installed on the front side of the support body 1. The conveying assembly 3 includes a conveying frame 31 disposed on the front side of the support body 1. A conveying motor 32 is welded to the front side of the conveying frame 31. A conveying shaft 33 is installed in the middle of the conveying motor 32. A conveyor belt 34 is wrapped around the outside of the conveying shaft 33. When needed, the conveyor belt 34 in the conveying frame 31 drives the conveying shaft 33 through the conveying motor 32, and the conveying shaft 33 drives the conveyor belt 34 to rotate, achieving the effect of assembly line testing.
[0034] As can be seen from the above technical solution, in use, the support body 1 and the conveyor frame 31 are first moved to the required position. After preparation, the conveyor motor 32 drives the conveyor belt 34 to rotate through the conveyor shaft 33. When the bowl-shaped or plate-shaped wooden tableware moves to the underside of the semi-circular gripper arm 2310, the hydraulic telescopic rod 231 moves the semi-circular gripper arm 2310 downward. Then, the two sets of gripping motors 238 drive the gripping shaft 239 to move the semi-circular gripper arm 2310 inward at the same time, fixing the bowl-shaped or plate-shaped wooden tableware. At the same time, the fixing motor 235 outside the fixing rotating groove 234 drives the extension arm 236 to rotate, finally fixing the cotton column 237 onto the bowl-shaped or plate-shaped wooden tableware. Inside the tableware, a fixing effect is achieved. After fixing, the detection rotary motor 232 drives the fixed rotary groove 234 to rotate through the detection rotary shaft 233, thereby achieving the rotation detection effect. During the rotation, the fluorescent lamp 213 under the support rod 212 illuminates the wooden tableware, while the video camera 214 performs visual perception on the wooden tableware. The data is then analyzed by the data processor 211. When damage to the wooden tableware is detected, the electric rotary shaft 223 of the rotary groove 222 inside the support frame 221 drives the rotating plate 224 to rotate, thereby driving the whole machine to rotate and achieve the sorting effect. This completes the use of a disposable wooden tableware detection machine.
