[0047] In the food packaging field, especially in the packaging of bagged granular materials such as peanuts, the efficiency and reliability of the packing process directly affect the overall performance of the production line. Traditional packing methods typically involve simple manual sorting, where materials are manually placed one by one into designated packaging boxes. However, this method, relying on manual sorting, is difficult to meet the demands of high-speed production and suffers from low efficiency.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a material feeding device. The material feeding device includes a base 500, a switch assembly, multiple material feeding assemblies 100, and a drive assembly 700. The base 500 has multiple material feeding openings 510, and all the material feeding openings 510 are spaced apart in the extending direction of the base 500. The switch assembly is connected to the base 500, and the switch assembly enables the corresponding material feeding opening 510 to switch between an open state and a closed state. The material feeding assembly 100 forms a material feeding groove 120 for accommodating material. The drive assembly 700 is connected to the material feeding assembly 100, and the drive assembly 700 is used to drive the material feeding assembly 100 to reciprocate along the extending direction of the base 500. The moving path of the material feeding assembly 100 has a feeding position. When the material feeding assembly 100 is in the feeding position, there is a corresponding material feeding opening 510 below each material feeding groove 120.

[0049] In these embodiments, a fabric-laying device is provided for fabricating materials (such as peanut buns and other food items), replacing traditional manual fabric-laying methods and improving fabric-laying efficiency and automation.

[0050] The base 500 serves as the fundamental support structure for the entire material distribution device. The base 500 is equipped with multiple material distribution openings 510. These openings 510 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the base 500. Each opening 510 is used to place material into the target container (such as a packaging bag, feeding box, etc.). This enables multi-point synchronous material distribution, improving overall material distribution efficiency.

[0051] The switch assembly is connected to the base 500. By controlling the corresponding fabric opening 510 to be in an "open" or "closed" state, on-demand fabric feeding can be achieved. For example, the switch assembly can be a plug-in valve, etc.

[0052] There are multiple feeding components 100. Each feeding component 100 has at least one feeding groove 120; the feeding groove 120 is used to hold a certain amount of material. In this embodiment, each feeding groove 120 is used to hold one piece of material, thereby realizing quantitative feeding of material.

[0053] The drive assembly 700 is connected to the feeding assembly 100. The drive assembly 100 reciprocates along the extension direction of the base 500, causing the feeding assembly 100 to circulate among the multiple fabric openings 510.

[0054] A feeding position is provided on the moving path of the feeding assembly 100. When the feeding assembly 100 is in this position, there is a feeding port 510 directly below each feeding slot 120;

[0055] Operation process: Move to the feeding position, align the feeding trough 200 with the feeding opening 510, turn on the switch assembly, the material falls in, and one feeding cycle is completed.

[0056] For example, the drive assembly 700 uses a servo motor in conjunction with a lead screw mechanism. Alternatively, it can be driven by a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric actuator, etc.

[0057] Therefore, the material (such as peanut bags) is first evenly distributed into the feeding grooves 120 of each feeding component 100. The drive component 700 drives the feeding component 100 to move back and forth along the extension direction of the base 500, so that the feeding grooves 120 pass over the corresponding feeding openings 510 in sequence.

[0058] When the feeding component 100 moves to the preset feeding position, the feeding slot 120 is directly opposite the feeding port 510 below. At this time, the switch component controls the feeding port 510 to switch to the open state, and the material falls into the packaging box by gravity. After the feeding component 100 leaves, the switch component closes the feeding port 510 to prevent material leakage.

[0059] The drive assembly 700 is linked with the switch assembly to ensure the alignment accuracy between the feeding slot 120 and the feeding port 510. Multiple feeding assemblies 100 operate synchronously to form a continuous feeding cycle, adapting to the rhythm of high-speed production lines.

[0060] In other words, by using mechanical linkage to achieve rapid and precise material distribution, the efficiency of material distribution is significantly improved, meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0061] In some embodiments, the switch assembly includes a pair of baffles 210 and a drive mechanism 400. The opposite ends of the pair of baffles 210 are hinged to a base 500, and the pair of baffles 210 are located above the fabric opening 510. The drive mechanism 400 is connected to the pair of baffles 210 and is capable of driving the baffles 210 to rotate towards or away from each other to close or open the fabric opening 510.

[0062] When the fabric inlet 510 is closed, a pair of baffles 210 are flush, and the material feeding assembly 100 is located above the baffles 210.

[0063] In these embodiments, the switching component in the fabric feeding device adopts a structure of double baffles 210 and drive mechanism 400, which is used to control the opening or closing of the corresponding fabric opening 510 to realize controlled material feeding.

[0064] When the baffles 210 rotate towards each other, the fabric opening 510 opens; when the baffles 210 rotate away from each other and return to a flush position, the fabric opening 510 closes.

[0065] Features in the closed state: The two baffles 210 are flush, forming a complete sealing surface; the material feeding component 100 is located above the baffles 210 and does not interfere; it prevents material from leaking out of the feeding port 510 when not feeding; and it achieves overall control of the feeding port 510.

[0066] For example, the drive mechanism 400 includes a cylinder and a linkage mechanism, wherein the cylinder is connected to the baffle 210 via the linkage mechanism to drive the baffle 210 to rotate. Alternatively, the drive mechanism 400 includes a servo motor and a gear transmission mechanism, wherein the servo motor is connected to the baffle 210 via the gear transmission mechanism to drive the baffle 210 to rotate.

[0067] Initial state (fabric opening 510 closed): The two baffles 210 are flush and completely cover the fabric opening 510; the material feeding component 100 is located above it, ready to move to the feeding position;

[0068] The material feeding action begins: the feeding assembly 100 slides along the base 500 to the feeding position; the control system triggers the drive mechanism 400; the two baffles 210 rotate towards each other, exposing the material feeding opening 510; the material falls from the feeding groove 120 into the material feeding opening 510;

[0069] After the material is laid: the drive mechanism 400 drives the baffle 210 to return to a flat state; the material opening 510 closes to prevent material leakage; the feeding assembly 100 continues to move to start the next material laying cycle.

[0070] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 700 includes a conveyor belt having a drive belt, and a plurality of material feeding assemblies 100 are disposed on the outer side of the drive belt. All the material feeding assemblies 100 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the drive belt; and the spacing between adjacent material feeding grooves 120 is equal to the spacing between the fabric openings 510.

[0071] In these embodiments, one specific implementation of the drive component 700 is provided, namely, the material feeding component 100 is moved by a conveyor belt and a transmission belt.

[0072] The conveyor belt serves as the foundation of the entire drive system, used to carry and move the material feeding assembly 100; the transmission belt is part of the conveyor belt, responsible for directly driving the material feeding assembly 100 to move; multiple material feeding assemblies 100 are provided on the outer surface of the transmission belt.

[0073] All the feeding components 100 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the transmission belt; the interval between adjacent feeding slots 120 is equal to the interval between the feeding ports 510; this design ensures that each feeding slot 120 can be accurately aligned with a feeding port 510 for feeding operation, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of material feeding.

[0074] Initial state: The feeding groove 120 in the feeding assembly 100 is loaded with a certain amount of material and is located at a specific position on the transmission belt;

[0075] Material conveying process: The transmission belt starts to run, driving the feeding assembly 100 to move back and forth along the extension direction of the base 500 (i.e. the extension direction of the transmission belt); Since the interval between adjacent feeding slots 120 is equal to the interval between the feeding ports 510, when the feeding assembly 100 moves to a specific position, each feeding slot 120 is exactly above a feeding port 510.

[0076] Material feeding action: When the feeding component 100 reaches the feeding position, the switch component opens the corresponding feeding port 510; the material falls from the feeding groove 120 into the corresponding feeding port 510; the switch component closes the feeding port 510 to prevent material leakage.

[0077] Cyclic operation: The drive belt continues to rotate, moving the empty feeding component 100 out of the feeding position and moving the new feeding component 100 loaded with material to the feeding position, realizing a continuous automatic feeding process.

[0078] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 100 includes a plurality of partitions 110, and the outer side of the transmission belt is provided with a plurality of partitions 110. All the partitions 110 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the transmission belt, and feeding grooves 120 are formed between adjacent partitions 110.

[0079] In these embodiments, the specific structure of the feeding assembly 100 is further clarified, namely, the feeding groove 120 is formed by providing multiple partitions 110 on the outer side of the transmission belt.

[0080] A material feeding groove 120 is formed between adjacent partitions 110 for receiving materials; this design allows each material feeding groove 120 to independently carry a certain amount of material and perform a material feeding operation as the conveyor belt moves.

[0081] The spacing between adjacent partitions 110 determines the capacity of each feeding slot 120 and the distance between feeding slots 120; ensuring that the spacing between adjacent feeding slots 120 is equal to the spacing between the feeding ports 510 can guarantee that each feeding slot 120 is accurately aligned with a feeding port 510 for feeding operation.

[0082] For example, the partition 110 and the drive belt are integrated. Of course, the partition 110 and the drive belt can also be configured to be detachably connected.

[0083] In some embodiments, a side plate 220 is provided at one end of the pair of baffles 210 that is far from each other, such that when the fabric opening 510 is closed, a fabric groove 200 is formed between the baffles 210 and the side plate 220, the material feeding groove 120 is connected to the fabric groove 200, and the fabric groove 200 is used to carry materials.

[0084] In these embodiments, an additional fabric trough 200 is formed when the fabric opening 510 is closed by providing a side plate 220 at one end of a pair of baffles 210 that are far apart from each other.

[0085] The fabric trough 200 is connected to the feeding trough 120 in the feeding assembly 100; the fabric trough 200 carries the material falling from the feeding trough 120; it temporarily stores the material when the fabric opening 510 is closed to prevent the material from falling directly. During the fabric feeding process, the material in the feeding trough 120 slides along the fabric trough 200 to above the corresponding fabric opening 510.

[0086] The baffle 210 and the side plate 220 work together to ensure that the material will not fall accidentally when it is not being fed, and to prevent the material from shifting to the side and misaligning with the corresponding feeding port 510.

[0087] The material is first fed into the feeding groove 120 in the feeding assembly 100. As the transmission belt rotates, the feeding groove 120 containing the material moves along the feeding groove 200 and gradually approaches the unloading position;

[0088] When the feeding component 100 is accurately aligned with the fabric opening 510 and the material needs to be fed, the drive mechanism 400 controls the baffle 210 to rotate in opposite directions to open the fabric opening 510.

[0089] At this point, the material in the feeding trough 200 smoothly falls into the target container (such as a packaging bag) through the opened feeding port 510. After the feeding is completed, the baffle 210 returns to its flat position and re-closes the feeding port 510;

[0090] The drive belt continues to rotate, moving the empty feeding trough 120 out of the feeding position and moving the new feeding trough 120 filled with material to the feeding position, thus realizing a continuous automatic feeding process.

[0091] In some embodiments, the base 500 also has a guide groove 300, the end of the guide groove 300 away from the fabric groove 200 is inclined upward, the end of the guide groove 300 near the fabric groove 200 is connected to the fabric groove 200, and the bottom of the guide groove 300 and the fabric groove 200 are flush.

[0092] In these embodiments, in addition to having multiple fabric openings 510 and a material feeding assembly 100, the base 500 is also specially designed with a guide groove 300. The guide groove 300 is located on the base 500 and is inclined upward at the end away from the fabric groove 200;

[0093] The guide groove 300 is connected to the material feeding groove 200 at one end, ensuring that the material can flow smoothly from the guide groove 300 into the material feeding groove 200 and then into the feeding groove 120 to achieve automatic filling.

[0094] The bottoms of the guide trough 300 and the distribution trough 200 are flush to ensure smooth and unobstructed material flow. This guides the material accurately into the distribution trough 200 or directly through the distribution port 510 for feeding.

[0095] When the material is fed into the guide groove 300, the material will slide down the inclined surface of the guide groove 300 because the end of the guide groove 300 away from the material feeding groove 200 is inclined upward.

[0096] The material slides along the guide groove 300 to one end near the material distribution groove 200, and due to the design that the bottoms of the guide groove 300 and the material distribution groove 200 are flush, it smoothly transitions into the material distribution groove 200 and can then enter the feeding groove 120.

[0097] In some embodiments, the base 500 is also connected to a plurality of feeding pipes 600, each feeding pipe 600 being connected to a corresponding fabric inlet 510.

[0098] In these embodiments, each feeding tube 600 is directly connected to the base 500, and each feeding tube 600 corresponds to a feeding port 510; the feeding tube 600 and the feeding port 510 are connected to ensure that the material can flow smoothly from the feeding tube 600 into the packaging box.

[0099] The feeding tube 600 provides an additional material input path, allowing materials to enter the packaging box directly through the feeding tube 600, increasing the flexibility of material input.

[0100] In some embodiments, this application also provides a feeding machine, which includes a feeding device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0101] Since the above-mentioned fabric feeding device has the aforementioned technical effects, the feeding machine that includes the fabric feeding device should have the same technical effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0102] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations; therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0103] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0104] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application.
