They combine the properties of natural ingredients with the characteristics of industrial processing and are widely used in food processing, catering supply chains, and home consumption. To ensure the freshness of the corn segments and prevent premature spoilage, they are packaged before transportation and sale, and packaging equipment is used during the packaging process.

[0003] In existing technologies, some packaging equipment requires manual stacking of processed corn segments onto a conveyor belt in a specific direction, followed by packaging equipment on the conveyor belt. However, stacking the corn segments onto the conveyor belt in a specific direction requires prolonged manual bending and grasping, which can easily lead to fatigue, reduce the stacking speed, decrease packaging efficiency, and reduce the practicality of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the corn segment packaging equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that manually bending over and grabbing corn segments repeatedly for a long time when stacking them onto the conveyor belt in a specific direction can easily cause fatigue, reduce the stacking speed of corn segments, and thus reduce the packaging efficiency of corn segments.

The top of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected to a packaging device body for packaging corn segments. The top of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected to a support frame. The inner side of the support frame is fixedly connected to a feeding hopper for storing corn segments. The top of the feeding hopper is provided with an opening and closing assembly for convenient storage of corn segments inside the feeding hopper. The inner side of the support frame is fixedly connected to a conveying shell.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the feed hopper is provided with a through groove, and the end of the conveying shell near the feed hopper and the end near the conveyor belt are both provided with through grooves, through which the corn segments pass.

[0008] Preferably, the support plate has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the toothed plate, and the toothed plate slides within the groove of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the left end of the conveying shell, the conveying roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the left end of the support plate, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod, the connecting plate is slidably connected inside the support plate, a toothed plate is fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting plate, a gear is rotatably connected inside the support plate, and the toothed plate meshes with the outside of the gear.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Compared to the need for repetitive bending and grasping by manual labor, which easily leads to fatigue, this method uses a conveyor belt to allow corn segments to fall from the bottom of the conveyor shell through a channel as the feeding roller rotates. The corn segments are then positioned on the conveyor belt by two limiting plates on both sides, which center and limit the corn segments on the conveyor belt. This prevents fatigue caused by prolonged repetitive bending and grasping by manual labor, increases the stacking speed of corn segments, and improves packaging efficiency. It avoids the problem of fatigue caused by prolonged repetitive bending and grasping by manual labor, which reduces the stacking speed and packaging efficiency of corn segments.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7This utility model provides an embodiment: a packaging device for processed corn segments, including a conveyor belt 1, a support frame 21, and an opening and closing assembly. A packaging device body 4 for packaging corn segments is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1. The support frame 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1. A feeding hopper 22 for storing corn segments is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 21. An opening and closing assembly for storing corn segments is provided on the top of the feeding hopper 22. A conveying shell 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 21. A conveying roller 25 for distributing and stacking corn segments is fixedly and rotatably connected inside the conveying shell 23. A support plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1. A toothed plate 28 is slidably connected inside the support plate 26. A toothed plate 28 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the toothed plate 28. The limiting plate 211, which centers and limits the corn segments, has a ball bearing 212 internally connected to it. As the feeding roller 25 rotates, the corn segments that fall into the groove of the feeding roller 25 fall through the through groove at the bottom of the feeding shell 23 and onto the conveyor belt 1. The limiting plates 211 on both sides then move closer to each other, centering and limiting the corn segments on the conveyor belt 1. This prevents manual bending and grabbing from causing fatigue due to prolonged repetitive bending and grabbing, thus increasing the stacking speed and packaging efficiency of the corn segments. The opening and closing component passes through the through groove 38 via the locking block 34, allowing the top cover 31 to be installed on the top of the feeding hopper 22, preventing dust from entering the interior of the feeding hopper 22 and improving the practicality of the feeding hopper 22.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 5In this embodiment, the feeding roller 25 has a receiving groove adapted to the corn segments. The corn segments are placed in the groove of the feeding roller 25, allowing them to pass through the groove of the feeding roller 25 to divert and stack the corn segments, thereby improving the stacking efficiency and packaging efficiency. The bottom of the feeding hopper 22 has a through groove, and the end of the conveying shell 23 near the feeding hopper 22 and the end near the conveyor belt 1 also have through grooves. The corn segments pass through the through grooves of the feeding hopper 22 and the conveying shell 23, allowing them to pass through the grooves of the feeding hopper 22 and the conveying shell 23 to pass through the grooves of the conveying shell 23 to pass through the corn segments to pass through the grooves of the feeding hopper 22 and the conveying shell 23 to pass through the grooves of the conveying ... To facilitate the stacking of corn segments inside the feed hopper 22 onto the top of the conveyor belt 1, thus improving the packaging efficiency of the corn segments, the support plate 26 has a corresponding groove at the corresponding position of the toothed plate 28. The toothed plate 28 slides within the groove of the support plate 26, thereby limiting the toothed plate 28 and improving the centering and limiting effect of the corn segments. The left end of the conveying shell 23 is fixedly connected to the motor 24, and the conveying roller 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 24. The left end of the support plate 26 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic telescopic mechanism. The telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 29, which is slidably connected inside the support plate 26. A toothed plate 28 is fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting plate 29. A gear 210 is rotatably connected inside the support plate 26, and the toothed plate 28 meshes with the outside of the gear 210. As the feeding roller 25 rotates, the corn segments that fall into the groove of the feeding roller 25 fall through the through-slot at the bottom of the feeding shell 23 onto the conveyor belt 1, and then pass through the limiting plates 211 on both sides. The two limiting plates 211 are brought closer together to center and limit the corn segments on the conveyor belt 1, preventing manual bending and grabbing from causing fatigue due to prolonged repetitive bending and grabbing. This increases the stacking speed and packaging efficiency of the corn segments. The support plate 26 has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the connecting plate 29. The connecting plate 29 slides in the groove of the support plate 26, which facilitates the sliding of the toothed plate 28 inside the support plate 26, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0026] Please see Figure 6 - Figure 7 In this embodiment, the opening and closing assembly includes a top cover 31, which is disposed on the top of the feed hopper 22. A handle 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 31, and a fixing frame 33 is fixedly connected to the top cover 31. A locking block 34 is slidably connected inside the fixing frame 33 and is slidably connected inside the top cover 31. A through groove 38 is provided on the feed hopper 22, and the locking block 34 passes through the through groove 38. An optical axis 35 is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block 34 and is slidably connected inside the fixing frame 33. A spring 36 is fixedly connected between the locking block 34 and the fixing frame 33. A lever 37 is fixedly connected to the optical axis 35. The opening and closing assembly uses the locking block 34 to pass through the through groove 38 to install the top cover 31 on the top of the feed hopper 22, preventing dust from entering the interior of the feed hopper 22 and improving the practicality of the feed hopper 22.

[0027] During operation, corn segments are arranged sequentially and placed into the feeding hopper 22. The top cover 31 is then inserted into the feeding hopper 22. As the top cover 31 is installed downwards, the arc-shaped end of the locking block 34 contacts the feeding hopper 22, causing the locking blocks 34 on both sides to move outwards and compressing the spring 36. When the feeding hopper 22 is housed in the groove of the top cover 31, the compressed spring 36, through its own elasticity, causes the locking block 34 to pass through the through groove 38, thus securing the top cover 31 to the top of the feeding hopper 22 and preventing dust from entering its interior. During packaging, the motor 24 is first started, causing the conveying roller 25 to rotate inside the conveying housing 23. As the conveying roller 25 rotates... 5. The rotation causes the corn segments that fall into the groove of the feed roller 25 to fall from the through groove at the bottom of the feed housing 23 onto the conveyor belt 1. Then, by activating the hydraulic telescopic rod 27, it extends and drives the toothed plate 28 at the top to move through the connecting plate 29. The two toothed plates 28 mesh with the gear 210, causing the limiting plates 211 on both sides to move closer to each other. This centers and limits the corn segments on the conveyor belt 1. The rolling balls 212 inside the limiting plates 211 ensure that the corn segments are not affected during the limiting process. Afterward, the corn segments are packaged at the conveyor block 34 of the conveyor belt 1 and the packaged corn segments are collected.

[0028] Through the above steps, as the feeding roller 25 rotates, the corn segments that fall into the groove of the feeding roller 25 fall from the through groove at the bottom of the feeding shell 23 and onto the conveyor belt 1. Then, the limiting plates 211 on both sides move closer to each other, so that the two limiting plates 211 center and limit the corn segments on the conveyor belt 1. This solves the problem that manual bending and grabbing for a long time is required, which can easily cause fatigue and reduce the stacking speed of corn segments, thus reducing the packaging efficiency of corn segments.
