Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to food packaging machines, and more particularly to a granular food packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] When packaging granular foods, operations such as loading packaging bowls, feeding the contents into the bowls, and sealing are required. In existing technologies, loading the packaging bowls is usually done manually by placing the bowls on the turntable. Manual loading is slow and inefficient, resulting in low production efficiency. In addition, during the feeding process, each packaging bowl requires two feeding operations with different foods. The food being fed in the second feeding is in granular form. In existing technologies, the second feeding of granules is usually done manually, which is time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, the feeding process can easily cause food contamination, affecting food quality. Moreover, with operators working long hours, they are prone to neglecting to feed the food, thus affecting food quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a granular food packaging machine, which solves the technical problems of low production efficiency and easy impact on food quality, and provides the following technical solution:

[0004] A granular food packaging machine includes an operating table, a feeding mechanism, a primary feeding mechanism, and a secondary feeding mechanism arranged sequentially along the circumference of the operating table. The top of the operating table has an intermittently rotating rotating platform, the rotation direction of which points from the feeding mechanism to the secondary feeding mechanism, allowing a second through-hole to pass sequentially through the feeding mechanism, the primary feeding mechanism, and the secondary feeding mechanism. The secondary feeding mechanism is used to seal packaging bowls. The feeding mechanism includes a support plate and a suction mechanism. The support plate is fixedly disposed on one side of the operating table and has a first through-hole for placing the packaging bowl. The suction mechanism includes a suction cup and a cylinder that are linked together. Multiple second through-holes for supporting the packaging bowl are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating platform. The suction cup is disposed in the second through-hole corresponding to the first through-hole. The cylinder is fixedly disposed within the operating table and is used to drive the suction cup to move upward or downward, adsorbing and placing the packaging bowl on the support plate onto the rotating platform corresponding to the second through-hole.

[0005] The primary feeding mechanism includes a conveyor belt and a support frame for supporting the conveyor belt. The discharge port of the conveyor belt is located above the packaging bowl on the rotating platform. Multiple partitions are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt, and the multiple partitions are distributed at equal intervals, so that multiple compartments of the same size are formed on the conveyor belt.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up the adsorption mechanism, the packaging bowls can be automatically adsorbed and placed on the rotating table, saving a lot of time and cost of manually placing the packaging bowls. Moreover, since there is no need to contact with people, the packaging bowls can be prevented from being contaminated, thereby speeding up production efficiency and improving product quality.

[0007] By setting up partitions on the conveyor belt, granular food can be placed sequentially on the conveyor belt of each partition, ensuring that the amount of food fed to the packaging bowl is consistent each time. This achieves quantitative feeding and reduces the probability of food leakage, thereby improving production quality. In addition, since there is no need for manual feeding, the granular food will not be contaminated, thus improving the quality of the finished product and speeding up production efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the support plate is L-shaped and includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The first through hole is disposed on the horizontal plate, and multiple limiting rods are evenly distributed on the top of the horizontal plate corresponding to the first through hole. Each limiting rod is vertically arranged.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the limiting rod, the packaging bowls stacked on the horizontal plate can be limited to avoid tilting and causing difficulties in feeding, thereby improving the stability of the packaging bowls and ensuring feeding efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the first through hole is the same as the diameter of the upper half of the packaging bowl; the diameter of the second through hole is larger than the diameter of the lower half of the packaging bowl and smaller than the diameter of the upper half of the packaging bowl.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the diameter of the first through hole to be the same as the diameter of the upper half of the packaging bowl, a dozen packaging bowls can be screwed into the first through hole on the support plate. Since the packaging bowls are usually elastic, they can be pulled out of the first through hole by suction, thus completing the unloading of the packaging bowls. With the setting of the second through hole, when the packaging bowl is placed in the second through hole, the upper end of the packaging bowl will be stuck in the second through hole. At this time, the position of the packaging bowl can be limited, avoiding the packaging bowl from shifting due to vibration during subsequent feeding, which would lead to spillage. This would result in waste of raw materials and loss of food quality in the packaging bowl, thereby reducing cost input and ensuring the quality of finished products.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor belt outlet is provided with a feeding bin, which is funnel-shaped, and the top diameter of the feeding bin is larger than the bottom diameter.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the setting of the funnel-shaped feeding bin, when the food on the conveyor belt falls from the discharge port into the packaging bowl on the rotating table, the funnel-shaped feeding bin can concentrate the food falling into the packaging bowl, thereby preventing the falling food from scattering to other places, thus effectively controlling the quality of the food in each packaging bowl, and improving the quality of the finished product.

[0014] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed on the support frame and is linked to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes a conveyor wheel, a support wheel, and a belt. The belt passes around the conveyor wheel and the support wheel in sequence, and the conveyor wheel and the support wheel make the belt taut. The conveyor wheel and the support wheel are rotated to cooperate with the support frame. The motor drives the conveyor wheel to rotate through the conveying mechanism.

[0015] The transmission mechanism includes a driving sprocket, which is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The transmission wheel is concentrically and fixedly connected to a driven sprocket. The driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are linked together by a chain.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the active chain gear, which in turn drives the driven chain gear to rotate. The driven chain gear then drives the conveyor wheel to rotate synchronously, thus enabling the conveyor belt to transport the food into the packaging bowl. The structure is simple and can speed up production efficiency.

[0017] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The adsorption mechanism automates the adsorption of packaging bowls and places them on a rotating table, saving significant time and costs associated with manual placement. Furthermore, the absence of human contact prevents contamination of the bowls, thus accelerating production efficiency and improving product quality. The conveyor belt with partitions ensures consistent feeding of each bowl by placing granular food items sequentially onto the respective partitions, achieving quantitative feeding and reducing the probability of food spillage, thereby improving production quality. Additionally, the elimination of manual feeding prevents contamination of the granular food items, further enhancing finished product quality and accelerating production efficiency.

[0019] 2. By setting the limit rod, the packaging bowls stacked on the horizontal plate can be limited to prevent them from tilting and causing difficulties in feeding, thereby improving the stability of the packaging bowls and ensuring feeding efficiency.

[0020] 3. By ensuring that the diameter of the first through hole matches the diameter of the upper half of the packaging bowl, a dozen packaging bowls can be sequentially screwed into the first through hole on the support plate. Since the packaging bowls are usually elastic, they can be pulled out of the first through hole by suction, thus completing the unloading of the packaging bowls. With the second through hole, when the packaging bowl is placed in the second through hole, the upper part of the packaging bowl will be stuck in the second through hole. At this time, the position of the packaging bowl can be limited, avoiding the packaging bowl from shifting due to vibration during subsequent feeding, which would lead to spillage. This would result in waste of raw materials and loss of food quality inside the packaging bowl, thereby reducing cost input and ensuring the quality of finished products.

[0021] 4. By setting up a funnel-shaped feeding bin, when the food on the conveyor belt falls from the discharge port into the packaging bowl on the rotating table, the funnel-shaped feeding bin can concentrate the food falling into the packaging bowl, thereby preventing the falling food from scattering to other places, thus effectively controlling the quality of the food in each packaging bowl, thereby improving the quality of the finished product.

[0022] 5. The motor drives the active chain gear, which in turn drives the driven chain gear to rotate. The driven chain gear then drives the conveyor wheel to rotate synchronously, thus enabling the conveyor belt to transport the food into the packaging bowl. The structure is simple and can speed up production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] 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.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1-4 A granular food packaging machine includes an operating table 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a primary feeding mechanism 3, and a secondary feeding mechanism 4 arranged sequentially along the circumference of the operating table 1. The top of the operating table 1 has an intermittently rotating rotating platform 5. The specific structure of the intermittently rotating rotating platform 5 is common knowledge and will not be elaborated upon here. The rotation direction of the rotating platform 5 is from the feeding mechanism 2 to the secondary feeding mechanism 4, so that the second through hole 9 passes sequentially through the feeding mechanism 2, the primary feeding mechanism 3, and the secondary feeding mechanism 4. The secondary feeding mechanism 4 is used to perform secondary feeding to the packaging bowl. The structure of the secondary feeding mechanism 4 can be found in the patent application number CN202221331712.8 and will not be elaborated upon here. After the secondary feeding is completed, a sealing mechanism is set up to seal the packaging bowl, a technical means that can be conceived by those skilled in the art. The sealing mechanism can be any type capable of sealing the packaging bowl and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0031] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a support plate 6 and an adsorption mechanism. The support plate 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the operating table 1, and the support plate 6 is provided with a first through hole 7 for placing the packaging bowl. The adsorption mechanism includes a suction cup 8 and a cylinder that are linked together. Multiple second through holes 9 for supporting the packaging bowl are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating table 5. The suction cup 8 is installed in the second through hole 9 corresponding to the first through hole 7. The cylinder is fixedly installed in the operating table 1. The cylinder is used to drive the suction cup 8 to move up or down, adsorbing the packaging bowl on the support plate 6 and placing it on the rotating table 5 corresponding to the second through hole 9. The specific structure and connection method of the suction cup 8 for adsorbing the packaging bowl have been described in detail in the relevant patents, and will not be elaborated here. The suction cup 8 can automatically adsorb the packaging bowl and place it on the rotating table 5, saving a lot of time and cost of manually placing the packaging bowl. Since there is no need to contact with people, the packaging bowl can be avoided from being contaminated, thereby speeding up production efficiency and improving product quality.

[0032] The primary feeding mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt 301 and a support frame 302 for supporting the conveyor belt 301. The discharge port of the conveyor belt 301 is located above the packaging bowl on the rotating table 5. Multiple partitions 10 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 301, and the multiple partitions 10 are distributed at equal intervals, so that multiple compartments of the same size are formed on the conveyor belt 301. By simply placing the granular food on the conveyor belt 301 of each partition 10 in sequence, it can be ensured that the amount of food fed to the packaging bowl each time is consistent, thereby achieving quantitative feeding and reducing the probability of food leakage, thereby improving production quality. In addition, since there is no need for manual feeding, the granular food will not be contaminated, thereby improving the quality of the finished product and speeding up production efficiency.

[0033] The support plate 6 is L-shaped and includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The first through hole 7 is set on the horizontal plate. Multiple limiting rods 11 are evenly distributed on the top of the horizontal plate corresponding to the first through hole 7. Each limiting rod 11 is set vertically. The limiting rods 11 can limit the packaging bowls stacked on the horizontal plate to prevent them from tilting and causing difficulties in feeding, thereby improving the stability of the packaging bowls and ensuring feeding efficiency.

[0034] The diameter of the first through hole 7 is the same as the diameter of the upper half of the packaging bowl; a dozen packaging bowls that are screwed in sequence can be stuck in the first through hole 7 on the support plate 6. Since the packaging bowls are usually elastic, they can be pulled in sequence by suction to make them detach from the first through hole 7, thereby completing the unloading of the packaging bowls.

[0035] The diameter of the second through hole 9 is larger than the diameter of the lower half of the packaging bowl and smaller than the diameter of the upper half of the packaging bowl. When the packaging bowl is placed in the second through hole 9, the upper end of the packaging bowl will be stuck in the second through hole 9. At this time, the position of the packaging bowl can be limited to avoid the packaging bowl shifting due to vibration when adding materials later, which would lead to spillage. This would result in waste of raw materials and loss of food quality inside the packaging bowl, thereby reducing cost input and ensuring the quality of finished products.

[0036] The discharge port of the conveyor belt 301 is equipped with a feeding bin 12, which is funnel-shaped and has a larger top diameter than bottom diameter. When the food on the conveyor belt 301 falls from the discharge port into the packaging bowl on the rotating table 5, the funnel-shaped feeding bin 12 can concentrate the food into the packaging bowl, thereby preventing the falling food from scattering to other places, effectively controlling the quality of the food in each packaging bowl, and thus improving the quality of the finished product.

[0037] A motor that is linked to the conveyor belt 301 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 302. The conveyor belt 301 includes a conveyor wheel 3011, a support wheel 3012, and a belt 3013. The belt 3013 passes sequentially around the conveyor wheel 3011 and the support wheel 3012, and the conveyor wheel 3011 and the support wheel 3012 keep the belt 3013 taut. The conveyor wheel 3011 and the support wheel 3012 are rotatedly connected to the support frame 302. The motor drives the conveyor wheel 3011 to rotate through a conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes... The driving sprocket 13 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The driven sprocket 14 is concentrically fixedly connected to the transmission wheel 3011. The driving sprocket 13 and the driven sprocket 14 are linked together by a chain. The motor drives the driving sprocket 13, which in turn drives the driven sprocket 14 to rotate. The driven sprocket 14 then drives the transmission wheel 3011 to rotate synchronously. This allows the conveyor belt 301 to transport the food it carries to the packaging bowl. The structure is simple and can speed up production efficiency.

[0038] Operation process: A stack of packaging bowls arranged vertically is placed on the support plate 6, with the bottom packaging bowl locked in the first through hole 7. The rotating table 5 is turned on and rotates intermittently. Each time the rotating table 5 stops rotating, the cylinder is activated to drive the suction cup 8 to move upward to the bottom of the bottom packaging bowl on the horizontal plate. After the packaging bowl is attracted by the suction cup 8, the cylinder drives the suction cup 8 to descend, thereby pulling the packaging bowl off the support plate 6 and locking it in the second through hole 9. At this time, the packaging bowl in the second through hole 9 rotates along the rotating table 5 to one side of the conveyor belt 301. As the conveyor belt 301 is conveying, the food in the nearest compartment will fall into the packaging bowl for feeding. After feeding is completed, the rotating table 5 continues to rotate. At this time, the packaging bowl containing food will rotate to one side of the secondary feeding mechanism 4. The secondary feeding mechanism 4 performs a secondary feeding operation. After the secondary feeding is completed, the lid is sealed, and the production is completed.
