Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring cup technology for packaging machines, and in particular to a linear measuring cup. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of a horizontal fully automatic packaging machine, accurate quantitative filling of materials is a crucial step, and the linear measuring cup device plays a central role in this process. This device is typically installed at the top of the filling station of the packaging machine, in a rather complex working environment. On the one hand, the material conveying and packaging processes generate a certain amount of dust during operation. These fine particles can disperse in the air and potentially enter the linear measuring cup device, affecting its normal operation. On the other hand, the mechanical vibrations generated by the overall operation of the packaging machine also place high demands on the stability of the linear measuring cup device. Under these conditions, the linear measuring cup device must continuously and accurately complete the material filling work and closely coordinate with other stations of the packaging machine to ensure the smooth progress of the entire packaging production process. Currently, achieving quantitative material filling in the packaging industry generally relies on the following key technologies:

[0003] 1. Precision power drive technology: A power source that can precisely control the output is required to ensure that the measuring cup device pushes the material accurately and matches the production rhythm of the packaging machine to achieve efficient and stable material conveying.

[0004] 2. Reliable material metering technology: With the help of reasonable structural design and physical principles, it can accurately measure the amount of material delivered each time, meet the strict standards of material dosage for different product packaging, and ensure the stability and consistency of product quality.

[0005] 3. Flexible adjustment technology: It can flexibly adjust the material dosage according to the packaging requirements of different products. Whether it is a change in material characteristics or a change in packaging specifications, it can achieve precise adaptation through simple operation, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the device.

[0006] 4. Stable guidance and limiting technology: Through specific guidance and limiting structures, the various components of the measuring cup device are ensured to run along a predetermined trajectory during movement, avoiding component deviation or shaking, ensuring the stability and reliability of the device operation, and reducing the possibility of failure.

[0007] Currently, there are various types of material metering filling devices on the market. Some traditional devices use relatively simple structures, such as relying on gravity flow or manually controlled valves to achieve metered material filling.

[0008] However, these material metering devices have a prominent problem: the accuracy of material metering by relying on gravity flow is poor. Their metering precision is insufficient and cannot meet the strict requirements of the modern packaging industry for product quality consistency, which can easily lead to inconsistent product quality. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a linear measuring cup that solves the problem of poor accuracy in material measurement using gravity-fed quantitative methods. This insufficient measurement precision makes it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of modern packaging industries for product quality consistency, and easily leads to inconsistent product quality.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0011] A linear measuring cup includes a main support body. A measuring cup pusher plate is slidably connected inside the main support body. Two adjusting funnels are slidably connected inside the measuring cup pusher plate. Stainless steel compression springs are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two adjusting funnels. The two stainless steel compression springs are fixedly connected to the lower end of the measuring cup pusher plate. A hopper pad is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main support body.

[0012] Preferably, the main body support of the device has two support guide shafts fixedly connected inside, and each of the two support guide shafts has a rectangular slider slidably connected inside.

[0013] Preferably, both rectangular sliders are fixedly connected to the lower end of the measuring cup push plate, and two linear sliders are slidably connected inside the main support of the device.

[0026] This application provides a linear measuring cup that effectively solves the problem of poor accuracy in material measurement using gravity-fed methods. Insufficient measurement precision makes it difficult to meet the stringent quality consistency requirements of the modern packaging industry, easily leading to inconsistent product quality. Through friction between the material and the hopper pad, the material height is made flush with the measuring cup push plate. The adjustable funnel placement height allows for more precise control of the amount of material falling into the packaging bag each time, meeting the stringent dosage requirements of different product packaging and ensuring consistent product quality.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that the accuracy of material metering by gravity-fed quantitative methods is poor, its metering precision is insufficient, it is difficult to meet the strict requirements of modern packaging industry for product quality consistency, and it is easy to lead to inconsistent product quality. The overall idea is as follows: A linear measuring cup includes a device main support 11, a measuring cup push plate 12 is slidably connected inside the device main support 11, two adjusting funnels 13 are slidably connected inside the measuring cup push plate 12, and stainless steel compression springs 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the two adjusting funnels 13. The two stainless steel compression springs 14 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the measuring cup push plate 12, and the upper end of the device main support 11 is fixedly connected to... A material hopper pad 15 is provided, and a measuring cup pusher plate 12 is slidably connected to the lower end of the material hopper pad 15. A measuring cup hopper 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the material hopper pad 15. The measuring cup pusher plate 12, the material hopper pad 15, and the measuring cup hopper 16 are all on the same vertical line. A lifting partition 17 is slidably connected inside the main support 11 of the device. The lifting partition 17 is located at the lower end of two adjusting funnels 13. A measuring cup funnel 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting partition 17. A cylinder body 18 is fixedly connected inside the main support 11 of the device. The measuring cup pusher plate 12 is set on the outer surface of the cylinder body 18. The main support 11 of the device is installed as a whole at the upper end of the equipment filling station. This device realizes the quantitative conveying of materials. The measuring cup hopper 16 is used for... For storing materials, the cylinder body 18 serves as the power source, and its output shaft is connected to the measuring cup push plate 12 via a cylinder pull stud. The upper surface of the measuring cup push plate 12 is in contact with the lower surface of the hopper pad 15. During the material storage process, the material falls downward along the inner wall of the measuring cup hopper 16. The material passes through two round holes in the hopper pad 15 and falls into the measuring cup push plate 12. The measuring cup push plate 12 has round holes of the same size as the openings in the hopper pad 15. The material falls along the round holes of the measuring cup push plate 12 into the two adjusting funnels 13. The adjusting funnels 13 are compressed by the lifting baffle 17 at the lower end, causing the stainless steel spring 14 to contract. The elasticity provided by the stainless steel spring 14 ensures that the surfaces of the adjusting funnels 13 and the lifting baffle 17 are always in contact. When plate 12 is pushed by the output shaft of cylinder body 18 to slide away from cylinder body 18, the material rubs against hopper pad 15, making the material height flush with the surface of measuring cup push plate 12. By controlling the extension length of the output shaft of cylinder body 18, the position of adjusting funnel 13 and upper opening is made perpendicular. The material will pass through lifting partition 17 and fall down along the inner wall of measuring cup funnel 22 to achieve metering control and conveying of material. Through the friction between the material and hopper pad 15, the material height is flush with measuring cup push plate 12. The height of adjusting funnel 13 is adjustable, so the amount of material falling into the packaging bag each time can be controlled more accurately, meeting the strict requirements of different product packaging for material dosage and ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0029] The main support 11 of the device has two fixedly connected support guide shafts 19. Each support guide shaft 19 has a rectangular slider 21 slidably connected inside. Both rectangular sliders 21 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the measuring cup push plate 12. The main support 11 of the device has two linear sliders 23 slidably connected inside. Both linear sliders 23 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting partition 17. The measuring cup push plate 12, which slides left and right, and the lifting partition 17, which slides up and down, are respectively limited by the rectangular sliders 21 and the linear sliders 23, thereby limiting their sliding direction and providing a more reliable motion trajectory for the device. The rectangular sliders 21 slide on the surface of the support guide shafts 19, and the linear sliders 23 slide on the slide rails installed on the inner wall of the main support 11 of the device.

[0030] A support base plate 24 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main support 11 of the device. A lifting screw 25 is threadedly connected inside the support base plate 24. A lifting support 26 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting partition 17. The lifting screw 25 is rotatably connected inside the lifting support 26. An adjustment handle 27 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting screw 25. A position indicator 28 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjustment handle 27. Before using the device, the lifting screw 25 can be rotated by holding the position indicator 28. When the lifting screw 25, which is threaded inside the support base plate 24, rotates, it will push the lifting partition 17 upward through the lifting support 26, causing the lifting partition 17 to slide. Adjusting the placement height of the adjusting funnel 13 causes the stainless steel compression spring 14 to retract when the lifting partition 17 lifts the adjusting funnel 13 upwards. When the lifting partition 17 slides downwards, the compressed stainless steel compression spring 14 pushes the adjusting funnel 13 downwards and into contact with the surface of the lifting partition 17 through its own restoring elasticity. The material dosage can be flexibly adjusted through the position display 28 and the lifting screw 25, enabling the device to adapt to the packaging needs of different products. For different materials and different packaging specifications, simply turning the lifting screw 25 to adjust the height can meet diverse packaging tasks, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the device.

[0031] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a linear measuring cup. Through the friction between the material and the hopper pad 15, the height of the material is made to be flush with the measuring cup push plate 12. The placement height of the adjustable funnel 13 is adjustable, thereby enabling more precise control of the amount of material falling into the packaging bag each time. This meets the strict requirements of different product packaging for material dosage and ensures the consistency of product quality.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The first step involves installing the main support 11 of the device at the upper end of the filling station. This device enables the quantitative conveying of materials. The measuring cup hopper 16 is used to store materials, and the cylinder body 18 serves as the power source. Its output shaft is connected to the measuring cup push plate 12 via a cylinder pull pin. The upper surface of the measuring cup push plate 12 is in contact with the lower surface of the hopper pad 15. During material storage, the material falls downwards along the inner wall of the measuring cup hopper 16. The material passes through two round holes in the hopper pad 15 and falls into the measuring cup push plate 12. The measuring cup push plate 12 has round holes of the same size as the openings in the hopper pad 15. The material falls along the round holes of the measuring cup push plate 12 into two adjusting funnels 13. The adjusting funnels 13 are compressed by the lifting and pressing of the lower lifting partition 17, causing the stainless steel spring 14 to contract. The elasticity provided by the stainless steel spring 14 ensures... The surfaces of the adjusting funnel 13 and the lifting partition 17 are always in contact. When the measuring cup pusher 12 is pushed by the output shaft of the cylinder body 18 to slide away from the cylinder body 18, the material rubs against the hopper pad 15, making the material height flush with the surface of the measuring cup pusher 12. By controlling the extension length of the output shaft of the cylinder body 18, the adjusting funnel 13 and the upper opening are made perpendicular. The material will pass through the lifting partition 17 and fall down along the inner wall of the measuring cup funnel 22 to achieve metering control and conveying of the material. Through the friction between the material and the hopper pad 15, the material height is flush with the measuring cup pusher 12. The height of the adjusting funnel 13 is adjustable, so the amount of material falling into the packaging bag each time can be controlled more accurately, meeting the strict requirements of different product packaging for material dosage and ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0034] In the second step, the left-right sliding measuring cup push plate 12 and the up-down sliding lifting partition 17 are respectively limited by the rectangular slider 21 and the linear slider 23, thus limiting their sliding direction and providing a more reliable motion trajectory for the device. The rectangular slider 21 slides on the surface of the support guide shaft 19, and the linear slider 23 slides on the slide rail installed on the inner wall of the device main support 11. Before using the device, the lifting screw 25 can be turned by holding the position display 28. When the lifting screw 25, which is threaded in the support base plate 24, rotates, it will push the lifting partition 17 upward through the lifting support 26. The sliding of the lifting partition 17 will adjust the placement height of the adjusting funnel 13. When the lifting partition 17 pushes the adjusting funnel 13 upward, it will compress the stainless steel spring 14. When the lifting partition 17 slides downward, the compressed stainless steel spring... 14 will push the adjusting funnel 13 downward to slide and fit against the surface of the lifting partition 17 through its own reset elastic force. The material dosage can be flexibly adjusted through the position display 28 and the lifting screw 25, so that the device can adapt to the packaging needs of different products. For different materials and different packaging specifications, the height of the lifting screw 25 can be simply turned to meet the diverse packaging tasks, which enhances the versatility and adaptability of the device. The position display 28 displays the height position and other relevant information of the lifting screw 25 in real time. By observing the position display 28, the operator can intuitively understand the specific value of the height adjustment of the adjusting funnel 13, so as to control the material dosage more accurately. At the same time, it is also convenient to record and repeat the setting of appropriate adjustment parameters when switching between different packaging tasks, which improves the operation convenience and adjustment accuracy of the device.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
