Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production technology, and in particular to a multi-channel integrated automatic sorting and packaging device for fresh food. Background Technology

[0002] Food processing generally refers to the processing activities of grain milling, feed processing, aquatic product processing, vegetable, fruit and nut processing, etc., directly using agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery products as raw materials. It includes potato processing, dehydrated vegetable processing and vegetable canning. It is a type of agricultural product processing industry in a broad sense. In order to better sort food in food packaging, it is necessary to sort the food through sorting devices after packaging.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218282689U can realize an automatic integrated sorting process for food packaging boxes of different sizes, reducing the workload of workers and improving sorting efficiency. However, this device needs to temporarily close the conveyor belt each time it sorts large food items. If the conveyor belt continues to run at this time, the subsequent food items will come into contact with the barrier plate and stop moving, resulting in a shortened distance between the food items and easy blockage. If the machine is stopped directly from the conveyor belt, it will lead to frequent start-stop and easy reduction of service life. In view of this, we have proposed a multi-channel automatic sorting and packaging integrated device for fresh food. Utility Model Content

[0023] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-channel automatic sorting and packaging integrated device for fresh food, including a first conveyor frame 1 and two second conveyor frames 2, which are arranged side by side. Two lifting plates 3 are fixed on the first conveyor frame 1. A through groove 4 extending from the rear surface of the front lifting plate 3 is formed on its front surface. Sliding grooves 5 are formed on the upper and lower inner walls of the through groove 4. An inclined plate 6 is movably arranged inside the through groove 4. Sliding grooves 5 are also formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the inclined plate 6. The sliding grooves 5 on the inclined plate 6 connect with the through groove 4. The upper sliding groove 5 is equipped with a limit block 7. The right side surface of the inclined plate 6 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 8. There is a gap between the inclined plate 6, the guide plate 8 and the upper surface of the first conveyor frame 1. The heightening plate 3 is equipped with an adjustment component. With the setting of the inclined plate 6 and the guide plate 8, when the height of the food is greater than a certain distance between the inclined plate 6 and the first conveyor frame 1, it will be directly guided to the rear second conveyor frame 2. The whole process does not require stopping the first conveyor frame 1 or blocking subsequent items, thus avoiding the problem of blockage.

[0025] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a first electric push rod 9, which is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the front height-increasing plate 3. The rear end of the first electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the guide plate 8. A first telescopic plate 10 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the rear height-increasing plate 3. A second telescopic plate 11 is slidably fitted inside the first telescopic plate 10. The front surface of the second telescopic plate 11 slides through the front surface of the first telescopic plate 10. A locking bolt 12 is provided on the upper surface of the first telescopic plate 10. The lower end of the locking bolt 12 is threaded into the interior of the first telescopic plate 10 and contacts the upper surface of the second telescopic plate 11. Both the first telescopic plate 10 and the second telescopic plate 11 are inclined. A U-shaped frame 13 is fixedly connected to the two height-increasing plates 3. Three laser sensors 14 are provided on the lower surface of the cross plate of the U-shaped frame 13. The rear surface of the front height-increasing plate 3 is fixedly connected to... An L-shaped fixing plate 15 is attached, and a mounting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vertical plate of the L-shaped fixing plate 15. A groove 17 is opened on the left side surface of the mounting plate 16, and an adjusting plate 18 is rotatably connected inside the groove 17. An adjusting column 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjusting plate 18. An installation groove 20 is opened on the upper surface of the front raising plate 3, and a second electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected inside the installation groove 20. A frame 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric push rod 21. The upper end of the adjusting column 19 extends movably out of the upper surface of the frame 22. The adjusting column 19 is movably connected to the frame 22. The laser sensor 14 is electrically connected to the second electric push rod 21. Through the adjusting plate 18, which can swing back and forth, items that are wider but shorter can also be guided to the rear second conveyor 2, avoiding sorting errors caused by some food items that are large in volume but short in height.

[0026] Among them, the first electric push rod 9, the second electric push rod 21 and the laser sensor 14 are also equipped with power supply, wires, controller and microcomputer, etc., which are not the main structures and will not be described in detail.

[0027] Working principle: First, the packaged fresh food is conveyed to the first conveyor frame 1. The operation of the first conveyor frame 1 drives the food packaging boxes to move from left to right. The packaging boxes are detected by laser sensors 14 through the U-shaped frame 13. When all three laser sensors 14 detect that an object has passed through, a signal is sent to the second electric push rod 21. Upon receiving the signal, the second electric push rod 21 retracts. When the second electric push rod 21 extends, it synchronously drives the frame 22 to move. Since the adjusting column 19 is movably connected inside the frame 22, the movement of the frame 22 will drive the left side of the adjusting plate 18 to move forward with the help of the adjusting column 19. Subsequently, the food is guided to the front of the first conveyor frame 1 by the first telescopic plate 10 and the second telescopic plate 11. When the height of the food is lower than the inclined plate 6, it will pass directly under the inclined plate 6 and be guided by the inclined plate 11 to move forward. The inclined adjustment plate 18 guides the food to the rear of the first conveyor 1. The food then continues to move and eventually enters the rear second conveyor 2 and is transported away. If the food is too high to pass under the inclined plate 6, it will be directly guided by the inclined plate 6 to the rear of the first conveyor 1 and eventually enter the rear second conveyor 2. When the food passes the laser sensor 14 and is detected by only one or two laser sensors 14, the second electric push rod 21 will extend, causing the left side of the adjustment plate 18 to move backward and guide the food to the front second conveyor 2. At the same time, adjusting the distance between the guide plate 8 and the rear heightening plate 3 can be done simply by controlling the extension and retraction of the first electric push rod 9. When adjusting the distance between the guide plates 8, the locking bolt 12 needs to be unscrewed and the extension length of the second telescopic plate 11 needs to be adjusted appropriately for adaptation.

[0028] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model 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 utility model.
