Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging, and in particular to a translational super-quantity sorting structure. Background Technology
[0002] The existing automated metering packaging machines and automated feeding and pressing machines all use the method of pouring materials into hoppers, bins or other material containers, and then feeding them from the bottom outlet of the material container into the metering mechanism through a vibrating feeding structure or auger feeding mechanism. The metering mechanism weighs or counts the materials according to the set amount to obtain fixed packaged materials. These fixed packaged materials come out from the bottom outlet of the metering mechanism, and then enter the inlet of the packaging machine or pressing machine through the guide chute, where they are automatically packaged or automatically pressed. Although this material packaging method uses intelligent control in the vibratory feeding and auger feeding processes, different materials vary in shape, size, viscosity, and flowability. Therefore, overweight and over-quantity issues often occur during packaging. If these overweight and over-quantity materials are packaged and pressed without undergoing overweight screening and are directly sold in the market, it will cause huge losses and waste for manufacturers over time. If overweight screening is performed, the materials need to be decomposed and repackaged, which avoids production packaging losses, but the packaging bags need to be replaced, resulting in waste of packaging materials, wasting time, and low work efficiency.
[0003] In view of this, the inventors of this case conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a translational overload sorting structure to solve the problem of high cost and low efficiency caused by the inability to remove overweight or overloaded materials before packaging.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A translational super-quantity sorting structure includes a quantitative hopper and a discharge hopper. The quantitative hopper has a quantitative discharge channel and is located below the quantitative discharge channel. The discharge hopper is mounted on a frame and has a receiving hopper and a discharge hopper. The discharge hopper has a first discharge hopper and a second discharge hopper, which are arranged laterally. The first discharge hopper has a vertically penetrating first discharge channel, and the second discharge hopper has a vertically penetrating second discharge channel. The receiving hopper is located above the discharge hopper and is translated and mounted on the frame in a manner that allows it to move laterally along the horizontal arrangement of the first and second discharge hoppers. The receiving hopper has a receiving channel that allows its input end to align with the quantitative discharge channel and its output end to switch and align with the first and second discharge channels as it moves laterally.
[0007] The first discharge channel is a downward-sloping inclined channel, and the second discharge channel is a downward-sloping inclined channel.
[0008] With the horizontal arrangement of the first and second discharge hoppers as the left and right directions, the first discharge hopper is located to the left of the second discharge hopper. The first discharge channel is inclined downward from back to front, and the second discharge channel is inclined downward from left to right.
[0009] The first discharge hopper is formed by a front inclined plate, a rear inclined plate, a left vertical plate, and a right vertical plate. The front inclined plate, rear inclined plate, left vertical plate, and right vertical plate form a downward-sloping front inclined channel. The length of the rear inclined plate is longer than the length of the front inclined plate. This front inclined channel is the first discharge channel. The second discharge hopper is formed by a left inclined plate, a right inclined plate, a front vertical plate, and a rear vertical plate. The left inclined plate, right inclined plate, front vertical plate, and rear vertical plate form a downward-sloping side inclined channel. The length of the left inclined plate is longer than the length of the right inclined plate. This side inclined channel is the second discharge channel.
[0010] The aforementioned receiving hopper has a bottom plate, side uprights, and inclined uprights. There are three side uprights, and the three side uprights and one inclined upright are set on the bottom plate. The three side uprights are set vertically, and the inclined upright is set at an angle, tilting downwards from left to right. The three side uprights and the inclined upright form an inclined channel that is connected vertically. This inclined channel is the quantitative feeding channel, and the lower end of the inclined channel is smaller than the size of the bottom plate. The bottom plate has an opening that matches the lower end of the quantitative feeding channel.
[0011] The aforementioned frame is equipped with a translation drive device that drives the receiving bucket to move left and right.
[0012] A back plate is vertically mounted on the rear side of the aforementioned bottom plate. A slider is mounted on the rear side of the aforementioned back plate. A slide rail extending in the left-right direction is mounted on the frame. The aforementioned slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail. A motor drive device for driving the back plate to translate is mounted on the aforementioned frame. The aforementioned motor drive device is the translation drive device.
[0013] A horizontal bar is fixed on the rear side of the back plate below the slider, and a drive motor is mounted on the frame, which is also horizontal in the front-back direction. The output shaft of the drive motor is positioned forward and below the left side of the horizontal bar. An inclined rocker arm is fixed outside the output shaft of the drive motor. A strip-shaped hole extending along the axial direction of the rocker arm is opened at the upper end of the rocker arm. The rear end of the horizontal bar passes through the strip-shaped hole. The drive motor, the horizontal bar, and the rocker arm constitute the motor drive device.
[0014] The aforementioned frame is provided with guide rails extending in the left and right directions on the front and rear sides of the receiving bucket. A right side plate is fixedly erected on the right side of the aforementioned bottom plate, and the two guide rails pass through the right side plate.
[0015] With the above technical solution, the present invention provides a translational overload sorting structure, which is installed between the weighing mechanism and the packaging mechanism of a tea packaging machine. Initially, the discharge end of the receiving hopper is connected to the inlet end of the first discharge hopper. The first discharge hopper is a precision discharge hopper, which is connected to the input end of the packaging mechanism. The second discharge hopper is a non-precision discharge hopper, and a recycling container is attached below the second discharge hopper. In application, if the material in the quantitative hopper meets the specified weighing weight, the material in the quantitative hopper is directly discharged into the first discharge hopper through the receiving hopper. When the material in the quantitative hopper exceeds the specified weighing weight, the receiving hopper is translated so that the discharge end of the receiving hopper is connected to the second discharge hopper and misaligned with the first discharge hopper. At this time, the material that does not meet the specified weighing weight can be output from the second discharge hopper to the recycling container, and finally put back into the weighing mechanism for weighing and packaging. Compared with existing technologies, the translation of the receiving hopper and the setting of the first and second discharge hoppers ensure that the materials packaged by the packaging machine are always accurately packaged. The overweight material weighed in the quantitative hopper can be recycled back to the weighing mechanism for weighing and packaging, which will not cause the packaging machine to be inaccurate. This avoids the problem of high packaging costs for manufacturers caused by the inaccurate weighing of traditional weighing mechanisms. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0021] This utility model provides a translational overload sorting structure, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a quantitative hopper 1 and a discharge hopper. The quantitative hopper 1 has a quantitative discharge channel, which is preferably a downward inclined channel. That is, the quantitative hopper 1 has an inclined space that is connected vertically by three vertical side plates and an inclined plate. This inclined space is the quantitative discharge channel. That is, the quantitative hopper is a square channel with an inclined inner rear wall formed by the front side plate, the left side plate, the right side plate and the inclined plate. The inclined plate is inclined from back to front downward.
[0022] The feeding hopper is located below the quantitative feeding channel. This quantitative feeding hopper 1 is an existing hopper, and its lower end port has a bottom plate that can open or close the quantitative feeding port.
[0023] The feeding hopper is installed on the frame 2. The feeding hopper has a receiving hopper 3 and a discharging hopper. The discharging hopper has a first discharging hopper 4 and a second discharging hopper 5. The first discharging hopper 4 and the second discharging hopper 5 are arranged horizontally, with the direction of the horizontal arrangement of the first discharging hopper 4 and the second discharging hopper 5 as the left-right direction. The first discharging hopper 4 is located to the left of the second discharging hopper 5. The first discharging hopper 4 has a first discharging channel that runs vertically through it. This first discharging channel is preferably an inclined channel that is inclined downwards. This inclined channel is preferably inclined downwards from back to front. That is, the first discharging hopper 4 is surrounded by a front inclined plate, a rear inclined plate, a left vertical plate, and a right vertical plate. The front inclined plate, the rear inclined plate, the left vertical plate, and the right vertical plate surround a downward inclined channel. The front inclined channel is preferably inclined downwards from back to front. That is, the length of the front inclined plate is shorter than the length of the rear inclined plate. The lower end of the rear inclined plate is located outside the lower end of the front inclined plate. This front inclined channel is the first discharging channel.
[0024] The second discharge hopper 5 has a second discharge channel that runs vertically through it. Preferably, the second discharge channel is a downward-sloping channel, which is inclined from left to right. That is, the second discharge hopper 5 is formed by a left inclined plate, a right inclined plate, a front upright plate, and a rear upright plate. These plates form a downward-sloping side-inclined channel, which is the second discharge channel. Preferably, the side-inclined channel is inclined downward from left to right. The length of the right inclined plate is shorter than the length of the left inclined plate, and the lower end of the left inclined plate is located to the right of the lower end of the right inclined plate. The left side of the second discharge hopper is close to and fitted with the right upright plate of the first discharge hopper. In this invention, the first discharge channel can also be an inclined channel that slopes downward from front to back, and the second discharge channel can be an inclined channel that slopes downward from right to left. Alternatively, the second discharge hopper can be on the left and the first discharge hopper on the right. In actual use, the positions and inclination directions of the first and second discharge hoppers can be set according to the specific requirements.
[0025] The receiving hopper 3 is located above the discharge hopper. The receiving hopper 3 is installed on the frame 2 in a horizontal arrangement along the first and second discharge hoppers. The receiving hopper 3 has a receiving channel that aligns its input end with the quantitative feeding channel and its output end with the first and second discharge channels as the receiving hopper 3 moves.
[0026] Preferably, the receiving hopper 3 has a lower bottom plate 31, side upright plates 32, and inclined upright plates 33. Three side upright plates 32 are provided, with the three side upright plates 32 and one inclined upright plate 33 mounted on the lower bottom plate 31. The three side upright plates 32 are vertically positioned, while the inclined upright plate 33 is inclined downwards from left to right. The three side upright plates 32 and the inclined upright plate 33 form an inclined channel that is vertically connected. This inclined channel is the quantitative feeding channel, and the lower end of the quantitative feeding channel is smaller than the size of the lower bottom plate 31. The lower bottom plate 31 has an opening (not shown in the figure) that matches the lower end of the quantitative feeding channel. A translation drive device for driving the lower bottom plate to move left and right is installed on the frame 2. Preferably, a back plate 311 is vertically mounted on the rear side of the lower bottom plate 31, and a slider 61 is mounted on the rear side of the back plate 311. A slide rail 21 extending in the left-right direction is installed on the frame 2. The slider 61 is slidably installed on the slide rail 21. A motor drive device for driving the back plate 311 to translate is installed on the frame 2. This motor drive device is the translation drive device. Specifically, a horizontal bar 62 lying horizontally in the front-back direction is fixed on the rear side of the back plate 311 below the slider. A drive motor 22 lying horizontally in the front-back direction is installed on the frame 2. The output shaft 221 of the drive motor 22 is set forward and located to the lower left of the horizontal bar 62. An inclined swing rod 222 is fixed outside the output shaft of the drive motor 22. A strip hole 222a extending in the axial direction of the swing rod is opened at the upper end of the swing rod 222. The rear end of the horizontal bar 62 passes through the strip hole 222a and can slide up and down in the strip hole 222a. The drive motor, the horizontal bar and the swing rod constitute the translation drive device.
[0027] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention provides a translational over-sorting structure, which is installed between the weighing mechanism and the packaging mechanism (not shown in the figure) of a tea packaging machine, such as... Figure 4As shown, initially, the discharge end of receiving hopper 3 is connected to the inlet end (i.e., the upper port) of the first discharge hopper 1. The left inclined vertical plate of receiving hopper 3 is located above and to the right of the left vertical plate of the first discharge hopper. The first discharge hopper is a precision discharge hopper, and it is connected to the input end of the packaging mechanism of the tea packaging machine. The second discharge hopper is a non-precision discharge hopper, and a recycling container is attached below the second discharge hopper. In application, if the material 100 in the quantitative hopper 1 meets the specified packaging quantity, the material 100 in the quantitative hopper 1 falls directly downward into the receiving hopper 3 under the guidance of the inclined vertical plate. The receiving hopper 3 is aligned with the first discharge hopper 4, and the material in the receiving hopper 3 is directly discharged into the first discharge hopper 4, from where it falls into the packaging bag of the packaging mechanism for precise packaging. When the material in the quantitative hopper exceeds the specified packaging amount, the drive motor 22 starts. The rotation of the drive motor 22 causes the swing arm 222 to swing to the right. The rightward swing of the swing arm 222 causes the crossbar 62 to move only to the right. The rightward movement of the crossbar 62 causes the receiving hopper 3 to move to the right. The rightward movement of the receiving hopper 3 causes the lower end of the receiving hopper to be misaligned with the upper end of the first discharge hopper and aligned with the upper end of the second discharge hopper 5. The left inclined plate of the receiving hopper 3 is above the left inclined plate of the second discharge hopper. In this way, the material falling into the receiving hopper will slide down along the inclined direction of the left inclined plate onto the left inclined plate of the second discharge hopper 5, and then slide down along the left inclined plate out of the second discharge hopper 5. It will be collected by the recycling container below the second discharge hopper 5. In this way, the material that does not meet the specified packaging amount can be put back into the weighing mechanism. Compared with existing technologies, by utilizing the translation of the receiving hopper and the setting of the first and second discharge hoppers, the packaging machine can always accurately package the materials. Overweight materials in the quantitative hopper can be recycled back to the weighing mechanism for weighing and packaging, avoiding the problem of inaccurate packaging by the packaging machine. This also avoids the problem of high packaging costs for manufacturers caused by inaccurate weighing in traditional weighing mechanisms. At the same time, by setting the tilting directions of the quantitative hopper, the receiving hopper, the first discharge hopper, and the second discharge hopper, the receiving hopper can be aligned and connected with the quantitative hopper and the first discharge hopper, and the quantitative hopper and the second discharge hopper during translation, ensuring that materials do not fall out of the hopper.
[0028] In this invention, the frame 2 is provided with guide rails 23 extending in the left and right directions on the front and rear sides of the receiving bucket, and a right side plate 64 is fixedly erected on the right side of the bottom plate 31. The two guide rails 23 pass through the right side plate 64. The cooperation between the guide rails and the right side plate can guide the translation of the receiving bucket 3, and ensure the stability of the translation of the receiving bucket.
[0029] In addition to being applicable to the tea packaging machine described in this embodiment, this new invention can also be applied to any packaging equipment used for weighing and packaging.
[0030] The product form of this utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments in this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to it based on similar ideas should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
