[0021] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model provides an automatic pet food packaging device, comprising a base 1, a fixed rod 29 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a transfer plate 3 rotatably connected to the circumferential surface of the fixed rod 29, a mounting platform 31 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed rod 29, an electric telescopic rod 17 and a fixing frame 18 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting platform 31, a limit post 19 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixing frame 18, a compression spring 20, a first slider 21 and a second slider 22 sleeved on the outside of the limit post 19, with the first slider 21 located between the compression spring 20 and the second slider 22, a push rod 23 fixedly connected to the side surface of the first slider 21, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 17 connected to the second slider 22. The side surface is fixedly connected, and a position sensor 26 is installed inside the mounting platform 31. A sensing block 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the transfer plate 3, and the position sensor 26 corresponds to the position of the sensing block 27. The position sensor 26 is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 17. A first limiting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the transfer plate 3. A tank 28 is placed inside the first limiting ring 12, and the push rod 23 corresponds to the position of the tank 28. An installation groove 13 is opened inside the first limiting ring 12. A fixing post 14 is fixedly connected inside the installation groove 13. A torsion spring 15 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the fixing post 14. A second limiting ring 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the torsion spring 15 away from the fixing post 14. The can 28 is placed in the circular groove formed by the first limiting ring 12 and the second limiting ring 16. The reaction force of the torsion spring 15 drives the second limiting ring 16 to limit the can 28 inside, which helps to enhance the stability of the can 28. When the transfer plate 3 drives the sensing block 27 to move to the position corresponding to the position sensor 26, the electric telescopic rod 17 is activated to push the second slider 22 to move on the limiting post 19 and push the first slider 21, thereby driving the push rod 23 to push the can 28 out of the circular groove. The transfer plate 3 continues to rotate and continuously transports all the cans 28 to the push rod 23 for pushing out, thereby improving the continuity of the device.

[0022] The mounting bracket 18 has a slot 24 on its exterior, and a cover 25 is engaged inside the slot 24. The cover 25 can be removed from inside the slot 24 to allow for inspection of the interior of the mounting bracket 18.

[0023] A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the support frame 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the transfer plate 3. The support frame 2 facilitates the support of the transfer plate 3.

[0024] A mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the base 1, and a can lid rack 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 4.

A movable column is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating block, and the movable column is movably connected to the interior of the turntable. When in use, the device uses the second servo motor to drive the limit plate and the rotating column on the rotating column to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the movable column to rotate inside the turntable. This, in turn, drives the transfer plate 3 to rotate intermittently, transporting the tank 28 sequentially to the area below the vacuum suction cup 11.

[0027] A conveyor belt mechanism is provided on one side of the transfer plate 3, and a conveyor belt is provided inside the conveyor belt mechanism, with the position of the conveyor belt corresponding to that of the tank 28.

[0028] Working principle: During the sealing process, the pet food can 28 requires automatic packaging equipment. The pet food is placed inside the can 28. A second servo motor drives the limiting plate on the rotating column to rotate synchronously with the rotating column, thereby causing the movable column to rotate inside the turntable. This, in turn, causes the transfer plate 3 to rotate intermittently, transporting the can 28 sequentially to below the vacuum suction cup 11. Then, the first servo motor 7 drives the connecting frame 8 to rotate, moving the vacuum suction cup 11 above the can lid 6. The cylinder 10 then pushes the vacuum suction cup 11 to adhere to the can lid 6. The cooperation of the first servo motor 7 and the cylinder 10 installs the can lid 6 onto the top of the can body 28, thereby facilitating the automatic packaging of the can body 28. Four sensing blocks 27 are installed on the top of the transfer plate 3. When the transfer plate 3 moves the sensing blocks 27 to the position corresponding to the position sensor 26, the electric telescopic rod 17 is activated to push the second slider 22 to move on the limit post 19 and push the first slider 21, thereby driving the push rod 23 to push the can body 28 out of the circular groove. The transfer plate 3 continues to rotate and continuously transports all the can bodies 28 to the push rod 23 for pushing and conveying them to the conveyor belt, thereby improving the continuity of the device.
