Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an automatic filling device for sausage casing gummies. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, sausage-coated gummies are loved by consumers for their unique taste and appearance, and market demand continues to grow. With the acceleration of food industrialization, large-scale production of sausage-coated gummies has become an inevitable trend, which puts forward higher requirements for sausage-coated gummy production equipment.

[0003] Traditional methods of filling sausage casings with gummies suffer from limitations in controlling the amount of gummies filled each time. Manual operation or simple filling equipment makes it difficult to precisely control the amount of gummies inserted into the casing each time. This lack of a quantitative mechanism leads to significant variations in the weight and quality of the produced sausage casing gummies. Inconsistent weight not only affects the selling price but may also raise consumer concerns about product quality. Quality differences manifest in taste and appearance; for example, too much gummies may cause the casing to rupture, while too little results in an unappealing appearance. These issues severely reduce the standardization of the product, putting it at a disadvantage in market competition. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic filling device for sausage casing gummies, including a support frame 1 and a cutting component 2. The outer wall of the cutting component 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1, and an installation component 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cutting component 2. The cutting component 2 includes a feeding pipe 22, an inlet pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding pipe 22, a baffle 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 22, a connecting post 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the baffle 23, and the connecting posts 24 are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the baffle 23. A top spring 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting post 24. When the device is waiting to be filled, the baffle 23 is in a higher position inside the feeding pipe 22 under the action of the top spring 25. At this time, the top spring 25 is in a naturally extended state, and its elastic force on the baffle 23 is balanced with the weight of the baffle 23 itself.

[0022] The end of the top spring 25 away from the connecting post 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 22, the inner wall of the bottom of the conveying pipe 22 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting post 24, and the outer wall of the conveying pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1.

[0023] The mounting assembly 3 includes a mounting cylinder 34. A baffle 35 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 34. A limiting frame 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cylinder 34, and the limiting frames 33 are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the mounting cylinder 34. A fixing ring 31 is snapped into the outer wall of the top of the limiting frame 33 through a limiting groove 32, and the limiting groove 32 is opened in the wall of the fixing ring 31. The outer wall of the fixing ring 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveying pipe 22. The operator first places the casing roll on the mounting cylinder 34. The mounting cylinder 34 provides a support frame for the casing. The baffle 35 inside it plays the role of supporting and positioning the casing, preventing the casing from deforming or shifting during installation and filling.

[0024] The automatic filling device for sausage casing gummies uses a support frame 1 as the basic support structure. The cutting component 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the support frame 1. Its function is to control the conveying and cutting of the gummy raw materials so as to cut the gummy raw materials after filling. The installation component 3 is fixed to the outer wall of the cutting component 2 and is mainly responsible for the installation and positioning of the sausage casing to ensure that the gummies can be accurately filled into the sausage casing.

[0025] The cutting component 2 is mainly composed of a feed pipe 21, a conveying pipe 22, a baffle 23, a connecting column 24, and a top spring 25. The working principle of this component is based on the pressure balance principle in fluid mechanics and Hooke's law in elasticity. The feed pipe 21 is connected to an external gummy candy raw material storage container. Under the action of pumping pressure, the gummy candy raw material enters the conveying pipe 22 in fluid form through the feed pipe 21.

[0026] While the device is waiting to be filled, the baffle 23 is positioned at a higher position within the feed pipe 22 under the action of the top spring 25. At this time, the top spring 25 is in a naturally extended state, and its elastic force on the baffle 23 is balanced with the weight of the baffle 23 itself. The gummy candy raw material flows into the feed pipe 22 through the feed pipe 21. As the gummy candy raw material accumulates in the feed pipe 22, the raw material exerts downward pressure on the baffle 23. As the gummy candy raw material continues to enter, the depth of the raw material in the feed pipe 22 increases, and the pressure on the baffle 23 gradually increases.

[0027] When the pressure of the gummy candy material on the baffle 23 is greater than the sum of the elastic force of the top spring 25 on the baffle 23 and the weight of the baffle 23 itself, the baffle 23 begins to slide downward. The connecting column 24 moves downward with the baffle 23, while compressing the top spring 25. The connecting column 24 is arranged in a ring array at the bottom of the baffle 23. This structural design makes the baffle 23 evenly stressed during the sliding process, avoiding tilting or jamming, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the device. When the baffle 23 slides out of the feed pipe 22, the gummy candy material in the feed pipe 22 is cut off, and the amount of gummy candy required for one filling is determined at this time.

[0028] After the filling action of the gummy candy is completed, the amount of gummy candy material in the feed pipe 22 decreases, and the pressure on the baffle 23 decreases accordingly. When the pressure is less than the sum of the elastic force of the top spring 25 and the weight of the baffle 23 itself, according to Hooke's Law, the top spring 25 begins to recover its deformation, pushing the connecting column 24 upward, and thus driving the baffle 23 back to its initial position, cutting off the gummy candy material, and preparing for the next filling.

[0029] The installation component 3 consists of a fixing ring 31, a limiting groove 32, a limiting frame 33, an installation cylinder 34, and a baffle 35. Its working principle is based on mechanical positioning and snap-fit ​​principle, which aims to ensure the accurate position and stability of the casing during the filling process. The operator first places the casing roll on the installation cylinder 34, which provides a support frame for the casing. The baffle 35 inside the cylinder supports and positions the casing, preventing deformation or displacement of the casing during installation and filling.

[0030] The limiting frames 33 arranged in a ring array at the top of the mounting cylinder 34 cooperate with the limiting grooves 32 on the fixing ring 31. When the casing roll is placed on the mounting cylinder 34, the limiting frames 33 slide along the limiting grooves 32 on the fixing ring 31, so that the limiting frames 33 are snapped into the limiting grooves 32. This snapping structure facilitates the installation and placement of casings and ensures that the opening of the casing is accurately aligned with the outlet of the conveying pipe 22. At the same time, the outer wall of the fixing ring 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveying pipe 22, which further enhances the stability of the entire mounting structure.

[0031] During the filling process of the gummy candy, the installation component 3 can keep the casing stable. Due to the snap-fit ​​action between the limiting frame 33 and the limiting groove 32 and the fixed connection between the fixing ring 31 and the conveying pipe 22, the casing will not be displaced or shaken due to the impact force during filling of the gummy candy, thus ensuring that the gummy candy can be accurately filled into the casing.

[0032] The entire automatic filling device for sausage casing gummies works in concert with the cutting component 2 and the installation component 3. When the device is started, the cutting component 2 begins to feed, cut, and reset the gummies, while the installation component 3 completes the installation and positioning of the sausage casings. After the cutting component 2 completes one cut of the gummies, the installation component 3 accurately aligns the sausage casings, allowing the gummies to be smoothly filled into the next batch of casings. After filling, the cutting component 2 resets, ready for the next filling operation. Through this cyclical working mode, continuous and automatic filling of sausage casing gummies is achieved.
