Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment, and in particular relates to a feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment requires the food or materials to be processed to be loaded into a pre-designed cylinder for easy entry and exit from the working chamber. In actual processing, the size of the cylinder varies greatly depending on the material. Some cylinders have the loading port at the end, while others have it on the side. For cylinders with side openings, the loading mechanism shown in application number CN214988229U can be used to push the cylinder into the working chamber.

[0003] However, for open-end cylinders, when using the feeding mechanism disclosed in CN215075227U, the tilt angle of the feeding mechanism tends to be vertical, making it difficult for the cylinder to connect with the front-end conveyor line. Furthermore, the vertical drop when the material falls directly is large, which can easily cause the material to be damaged by collision. In addition, since the cylinder flipping mechanism is located at the end of the feeding device, the cylinder needs to be manually pushed to flip onto the feeding device, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism that allows the open-end cylinder to be directly connected to the conveyor line, facilitating automated feeding without the need for manual material placement or cylinder pushing.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0006] The material cylinder tilting frame is used to load material cylinders. The upper and lower parts of the material cylinder tilting frame are respectively provided with an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate. The upper connecting plate is hinged to the mounting bracket of the feeding frame.

[0007] The drive mechanism is hinged to the feed frame and is used to drive the material cylinder tilting frame to rotate. The movable end of the drive mechanism is hinged to the lower connecting plate.

[0008] The feeding mechanism, located above the feeding rack, is used to push the tilted material cylinder into the feeding conveyor line.

[0009] Furthermore, the material cylinder tilting frame includes a roller frame, an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate fixed to the upper and lower parts of the outer side of the roller frame, and multiple sets of inclined frames arranged side by side on the inner side of the roller frame. Each inclined frame has a roller at its top, and a base plate is fixedly installed at the tail end of the roller frame. Multiple sets of protective plates are installed around the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes multiple sets of support legs, with horizontal supports fixedly installed on the support legs along the feeding conveyor line. A track is installed on the horizontal support, and a feeding trolley that can slide along the track is installed on the track. A transmission mechanism is connected to the top of the feeding trolley, and the transmission mechanism is powered by a motor.

[0012] Furthermore, the material feeding trolley includes a frame, with wheels matching the track on both sides of the frame, a material feeding plate that can be flipped at the front end of the frame, and a pressure plate that is fixed to the transmission mechanism on the top of the frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By changing the rotation center of the material cylinder and the drive connection position, the tilt angle and height of the material cylinder opening can be adjusted by adjusting the drive mechanism to match the front-end conveyor line; a feeding mechanism is added to the feeding device, and when the material cylinder flips to a horizontal position, the feeding rod acts on the rear end of the material cylinder to push it. This invention is suitable for large-scale continuous production, saves labor, and requires little effort. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a feeding mechanism includes: a cylinder tilting frame 1 installed at the tail of the feeding frame 4. The cylinder tilting frame 1 is used to place the cylinder. Since it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the entire cylinder, an upper connecting plate 12 and a lower connecting plate 13 are respectively provided on the upper and lower parts of the cylinder tilting frame 1. The length of the upper connecting plate 12 is greater than the length of the lower connecting plate 13. The upper connecting plate 12 is hinged to the mounting bracket 18 of the feeding frame 4.

[0022] The lower connecting plate 13 is connected to the drive mechanism 2 and is driven by the drive mechanism 2. The drive mechanism 2 is hinged in the middle of the support leg 31 below the feed frame 4. The drive mechanism 2, the lower connecting plate 13, the material cylinder tilting frame 1 and the upper connecting plate 12 form a four-bar linkage mechanism. The extension and retraction of the movable end of the drive mechanism 2 can change the angle of the material cylinder tilting frame 1. When it is necessary to load material, the material cylinder tilting frame 1 can be oriented towards the loading direction, making it easier to load material. For material cylinders with open end faces, they can be directly connected to the conveyor line, which is conducive to realizing automated feeding and eliminating the need for manual placement of materials.

[0023] To eliminate the need for manual pushing of the material cylinder, a feeding mechanism 3 is installed above the feeding rack 4. The feeding mechanism 3 is used to push the tilted material cylinder into the feeding conveyor line.

[0024] The drive mechanism 2 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. When the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder retracts, the material cylinder tilting frame 1 is in the loading state. After loading is completed, the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder extends and pushes the material cylinder tilting frame 1 to rotate. When the material cylinder tilting frame 1 is horizontally aligned with the feeding frame 4, the material cylinder tilting frame 1 is tilted into place, and the feeding mechanism 3 starts to work. The feeding mechanism 3 pushes the material cylinder out of the material cylinder tilting frame 1 and into the feeding frame 4.

[0025] The structure and working process of the feeding mechanism of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the material cylinder flipping frame 1 and the material feeding mechanism 3 have not been specifically limited. In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the material cylinder flipping frame 1 and the material feeding mechanism 3 will be described in detail in this embodiment based on the above embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the material cylinder tilting frame 1 includes a roller frame 15, with an upper connecting plate 12 and a lower connecting plate 13 fixed to the upper and lower parts of the outer side of the roller frame 15, respectively. Multiple sets of inclined frames 16 are arranged side-by-side on the inner side of the roller frame 15, and each inclined frame 16 has a roller 17 at its top. The structure of the roller 17 and the inclined frame 16 is the same as the conveying structure of the roller 17 of the feeding frame 4, facilitating the docking of the material cylinder tilting frame 1 with the feeding frame 4 and making it easier for the material cylinder to enter the feeding conveyor line from the material cylinder tilting frame 1.

[0027] Then, a base plate 11 is fixedly installed at the tail end of the roller frame 15, and multiple sets of guard plates 14 are provided around the base plate 11. The size of the guard plates 14 is adapted to the size of the material cylinder. This utility model is mainly used for material cylinders with open ends. The base plate 11 is used to support the material cylinder, and the surrounding guard plates 14 are used to protect the material cylinder from falling off the material cylinder flipping frame 1 during the material cylinder flipping process.

[0028] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes multiple sets of support legs 31. A horizontal support 32 is fixedly mounted on each support leg 31 along the feeding conveyor line. A track 33 is mounted on the horizontal support 32, and a feeding trolley 34, which can slide along the track 33, is mounted on the track 33. A transmission mechanism 35 is connected to the top of the feeding trolley 34, and the transmission mechanism 35 is powered by a motor. The transmission mechanism 35 can be a conveyor belt, and the direction of movement of the transmission mechanism 35 can be changed by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor. Alternatively, a ball screw can be used to achieve the function of the transmission mechanism 35.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the material feeding trolley 34 includes a frame 341, with wheels 342 on both sides of the frame 341 that match the track 33. A material feeding plate 343 is foldably mounted on the front end of the frame 341, and a pressure plate 344 fixed to the top of the frame 341 and fixed to the transmission mechanism 35. The pressure plate 344 connects the frame 341 to the transmission mechanism 35, causing the transmission mechanism 35 to drive the frame 341 to move.

[0030] The motor rotates, driving the transmission mechanism 35 to move. The transmission mechanism 35 drives the frame 341 to move. As the frame 341 moves along the track 33, the feeding plate 343 drives the material cylinder from the material cylinder tilting frame 1 to the feeding conveyor line, and drives the material cylinder to move on the feeding conveyor line. A limit block 345 is set at the end of the track 33 to prevent the feeding trolley 34 from disengaging from the track 33.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
