Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ingredient dispensing system technology, specifically to an automatic marshmallow dispensing system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of material processing and production, especially in the conveying and sorting of granular materials such as sugar granules and colloids, traditional feeding and conveying equipment often suffers from problems such as discontinuous material conveying, difficulty in accurately controlling flow rate, and insufficient quantitative feeding accuracy. Existing technologies often use a single vibrating feeder or belt conveyor to directly transport materials to subsequent processes. However, due to the lack of effective flow regulation and diversion structures, this can easily lead to material accumulation, poor conveying, or large fluctuations in material discharge, affecting the stable operation of downstream equipment. Furthermore, when dealing with multiple materials (such as sugar granules and colloids) simultaneously, existing equipment lacks an effective classification and conveying design, often requiring additional manual intervention, which not only increases labor intensity but also reduces overall operational efficiency. In addition, to meet the demands of large-scale, continuous production, existing equipment generally suffers from problems such as non-compact structure, large footprint, and inconvenient maintenance throughout the entire process from material feeding to weighing and discharging.

[0003] In view of the above, this paper proposes an automatic cotton candy dispensing system to solve the aforementioned problems. This system can efficiently control the material conveying speed, achieve orderly diversion of multiple materials, and possess high-precision quantitative dispensing capabilities. It also features an easy-to-install and maintain material conveying and diversion device to meet the practical needs of modern production for efficient, precise, and intelligent material handling.

Detailed Implementation

[0051] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0052] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "lateral", "longitudinal", "end", "edge", "sidewall", "upper", "lower", "upper part", "lower part", "directly above", "surface", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", "end", "head", "tail", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the technical solution of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0053] This application proposes an automatic marshmallow dispensing system, the details of which are as follows:

[0054] For reference Figure 1-2This application mainly consists of a chassis 1, a vibratory feeding mechanism 2 mounted on the chassis 1, a platform support 3 mounted on the edge of the chassis 1, a support frame 4 mounted on the side of the platform support 3 away from the chassis 1, a pneumatic conveying mechanism 5 mounted on the support frame 4 and connected to the vibratory feeding mechanism 2 via a pipe, a single-channel feeding mechanism 6 mounted on the support frame 4 to receive the material output from the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5, a double-channel feeding mechanism 7 mounted on the support frame 4 to receive the material output from the single-channel feeding mechanism 6 and convert the single-channel feeding mechanism 6 into a double-channel feeding mechanism, and a discharge mechanism 8 mounted on the support frame 4 to receive the material output from the double-channel feeding mechanism 7, weigh it, and then discharge it.

[0055] For reference Figure 1-2 The chassis 1 has a shock-absorbing base at its bottom, which supports the vibrating feeding mechanism 2 and reduces the vibration output of the vibrating feeding mechanism 2, thereby achieving the effect of shock absorption.

[0056] For reference Figure 1-2 The vibrating feeding mechanism 2 is used to convey materials upwards. It mainly includes a granule vibrating feeder 21, a first feeding component 22, a sugar granule vibrating feeder 23, and a second feeding component 24. The granule vibrating feeder 21 is mounted on the chassis 1. The first feeding component 22 is located on one side of the granule vibrating feeder 21 and is connected to the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5 through a pipe. The sugar granule vibrating feeder 23 is mounted on the chassis 1. The second feeding component 24 is located on one side of the sugar granule vibrating feeder 23 and is connected to the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5 through a pipe. Both the granule vibrating feeder 21 and the sugar granule vibrating feeder 23 have manual feeding of granules and sugar granules. The granules inside the granule vibrating feeder 21 can be conveyed out through the first feeding component 22, and the sugar granules inside the sugar granule vibrating feeder 23 can be conveyed out through the second feeding component 24.

[0057] The first sugar granule vibrating feeder 23 and the granule vibrating feeder 21 are mature and common technologies in the field, and will not be described in detail here. Secondly, the first feeding component 22 and the second feeding component 24 adopt existing conventional candy conveying structures, and will not be described in detail here either.

[0058] For reference Figure 1-2 During the process of conveying the sugar granules and colloids outward through the first feeding component 22 and the second feeding component 24, the sugar granules and colloids are transferred to the single-channel feeding mechanism 6 through the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5 connected by the pipeline for the next step. The pneumatic conveying mechanism 5 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0059] For reference Figure 3To facilitate subsequent work processes, a platform support 3 and a support frame 4 are provided. The support frame 4 is used to raise the height of the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5, the single-channel feeding mechanism 6, the double-channel feeding mechanism 7, and the unloading mechanism 8. However, changing the height would be detrimental to manual maintenance and routine upkeep. Therefore, the platform support 3 is provided to facilitate manual high-level work operations.

[0060] For reference Figure 3 The single-channel feeding mechanism 6 receives the material output from the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5. It should be noted that the single-channel feeding mechanism 6 has two sets, which are used to receive sugar granules and colloid granules output from the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5, respectively.

[0061] Furthermore, the single-channel feeding mechanism 6 includes a hopper 61, an adjusting plate 62, and a conveying channel 63. The hopper 61 is connected to the output end of the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5. The adjusting plate 62 is adjustable at the output end of the hopper 61. The size of the output port of the hopper 61 can be changed by moving the adjusting plate 62. The conveying channel 63 is located below the output end of the hopper 61. The hopper 61 receives materials (sugar granules and granules), and then the materials are conveyed from the output end of the hopper 61 to the conveying channel 63. During the conveying to the conveying channel 63, the size of the outlet end of the hopper 61 can be changed by controlling the position of the adjusting plate 62 on the hopper 61, thereby controlling the flow rate of the material conveying.

[0062] For reference Figure 3 After being conveyed by the single-channel feeding mechanism 6, the material is buffered and smoothly fed towards the dual-channel feeding mechanism 7. The dual-channel feeding mechanism 7 includes a feeding channel 71 and a replenishing channel 72. The feeding channel 71 and the replenishing channel 72 are set horizontally and are both located below the output end of the conveying channel 63. The width of the replenishing channel 72 is smaller than the width of the feeding channel 71. During this process, the feeding channel 71 is the main material conveying channel, while the replenishing channel 72 is the material replenishment channel. This can reduce problems such as the feeding channel 71 conveying material too fast and making it difficult to determine the feeding amount, thus forming a diversion conveying process.

[0063] For reference Figure 3-5 After the material is diverted in the dual-channel feeding mechanism 7, it is conveyed towards the unloading mechanism 8. The unloading mechanism 8 includes a shielding component 81, a receiving hopper 82, and an unloading shaft 83. The shielding component 81 is located at the discharge end of the dual-channel feeding mechanism 7, the receiving hopper 82 is located in the dual-channel feeding mechanism 7, and the unloading shaft 83 is located at the discharge end of the receiving hopper 82.

[0064] Furthermore, the material conveying into the receiving hopper 82 is controlled by a shielding assembly 81. The shielding assembly 81 includes a drive unit 811, a rotating shaft 812, and a shielding plate 813. The drive unit 811 is located on both sides of the dual-channel feeding mechanism 7. One end of the rotating shaft 812 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 811. The side of the shielding plate 813 furthest from the drive unit 811 is connected to the shielding plate 813. The drive unit 811 is a combination of an existing control box and a first cylinder 801; details will not be elaborated further in this application. The drive unit 811 drives... One end of the rotating shaft 812 near the baffle plate 813 forms a rotatable connection with the surface of the drive unit 811 and the control box. The control box also positions the rotating shaft 812. Therefore, when the first cylinder 801 starts working, it pulls the rotating shaft 812 to move axially, thereby causing a rotational change and driving the baffle plate 813 to rotate synchronously. When the baffle plate 813 is rotating, the material is not blocked and flows into the receiving hopper 82 from the open gap (between the baffle plate 813 and the dual-channel feeding mechanism 7).

[0065] For reference Figure 3-5 After the material enters the receiving hopper 82, it is conveyed outward by the feeding shaft 83. The receiving hopper 82 is equipped with a weighing sensor to sense and calculate the amount of material inside, so that the amount discharged outward at one time is in accordance with the required requirements. The use of the weighing sensor is a well-known and mature technology in the field, and this application will not elaborate further.

[0066] After the receiving hopper 82 receives the required amount of material, it is opened by driving the feeding shaft 83, causing the received material to flow out synchronously, and then closes again. The feeding shaft 83 further includes a fixed plate 831, a limiting plate 832, an inclined hopper 833, a connecting shaft 834, and a return spring 835. The fixed plate 831 is fixedly installed on the receiving hopper 82. The limiting plate 832 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 831, and the limiting plate 832 is away from the fixed plate 831. One end of the connecting shaft 834 is fitted onto the surface of the inclined bucket 833, with a gap between them. One end of the inclined bucket 833 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed plate 831 away from the limiting plate 832. One end of the connecting shaft 834 is rotatably connected to the middle of the surface of the inclined bucket 833, and the other end is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the end of the limiting plate 832 away from the fixed plate 831. One end of the return spring 835 is connected to one side of the surface of the receiving bucket 82, and the other end is connected to the middle of the surface of the limiting plate 832.

[0067] It should be noted that a convex shaft is provided on one side of the surface of the limiting plate 832, and a second cylinder 802 is provided at the corresponding position of the convex shaft. The second cylinder 802 can be synchronously installed in the control box. The movement of the second cylinder 802 causes the output end of the second cylinder 802 to contact the convex shaft, pushing the convex shaft to move and change its position, which in turn drives the limiting plate 832 to move. When the limiting plate 832 changes, it will drive the inclined bucket 833 to rotate, thereby opening the cover at the bottom of the receiving bucket 82 and discharging the material from the discharge port, so that the material enters the required device or equipment in a quantitative manner. The limiting plate 832 is maintained by the connecting shaft 834 to maintain the stability of its movement, and the return spring 835 controls its better reset, which has a certain reset guiding effect.

[0068] It should be noted that the use of the first cylinder, the second cylinder 802, and the weighing sensor mentioned above are common methods in existing automatic control, and this application will not elaborate further.

[0069] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0070] First, the rubber granules are manually fed into the rubber granule vibrating feeder 21, and the sugar granules are fed into the sugar granule vibrating feeder 23. The vibrating feeding mechanism 2 uses vibration to concentrate and transport the materials. Then, the rubber granules are fed into the first feeding component 22, and the sugar granules are fed into the second feeding component 24, respectively, and then into the pneumatic conveying mechanism 5. The pneumatic conveying mechanism 5 conveys the materials upward through pipes to the single-channel feeding mechanism 6 located on the support frame 4. In the single-channel feeding mechanism 6, the material first enters the hopper 61, and the size of the outlet opening is adjusted by the adjusting plate 62. The material flows from the hopper 61 into the conveying channel 63, thereby controlling the material flow rate. The material then enters the double-channel feeding mechanism 7 through the conveying channel 63, where the material is divided into... The main feeding channel 71 and the supplementary feeding channel 72 form a diversion to ensure the stability of subsequent feeding. Subsequently, the diverted material flows to the feeding mechanism 8 and falls into the receiving hopper 82 under the control of the shielding component 81. During this period, the weighing sensor detects the weight of the material in the receiving hopper 82 in real time. When the material in the receiving hopper 82 reaches the set weight, the second cylinder 802 in the control box drives the limit plate 832 to move. At the same time, the connecting shaft 834 pulls the inclined hopper 833 to rotate and open. With the help of the reset spring 835, the bottom of the receiving hopper 82 is opened, so that a certain amount of material is discharged through the feeding shaft 83, achieving precise feeding. Then the feeding mechanism 8 resets and is ready for the next round of operation.

[0071] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
