Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cup dropping devices, and in particular to a cup dropping device for food filling. Background Technology
[0002] Food filling is the process of filling food (liquid, semi-solid or solid) into specific containers (such as bottles, cans, bags, boxes, etc.). It is a key step in food processing and directly affects product quality, shelf life and safety. During the food filling process, cup droppers are usually used to place the cups.
[0003] When using a cup dropper, the entire unit is usually installed in the designated position, and then the cup is dropped using two sets of clamping mechanisms. However, after installation, the height of the cup dropper cannot be adjusted, which means that the drop height of the cup cannot be adjusted. As a result, if the cup is dropped from a high height, it may tip over, thus affecting the use of the cup dropper. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cup-dropping device for food filling, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A cup-dropping device for food filling includes a mounting frame. A first bevel gear is mounted on the top of the mounting frame via a rotating mechanism. A second bevel gear is meshed with the surface of the first bevel gear. A cylinder is mounted on the inner wall of the second bevel gear via a lifting mechanism. A mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the cylinder. A clamping mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the mounting frame. A limit mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the mounting frame. An installation mechanism is provided on one side of the mounting frame.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a dual-axis motor fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and a rotating rod is fixedly mounted on the output end of the dual-axis motor. One end of the rotating rod is fixedly mounted to one side of the first bevel gear, and there are two sets of rotating rods and first bevel gears.
[0008] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lead screw fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second bevel gear, and a movable plate is threadedly fitted on the surface of the lead screw. The inner wall of the movable plate and the surface of the cylinder are fixedly installed. The number of the second bevel gear, the lead screw and the movable plate is two sets.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame, and a clamping plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod. The number of electric push rods and clamping plates is four.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove formed in the inner wall of the mounting frame, a limiting block is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove, and one side of the limiting block and one side of the moving plate are fixedly installed.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame, and bolts are threaded onto the top of the mounting plate.
[0012] Preferably, a first support plate is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame, and a second support plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame. The inner wall of the first support plate and the surface of the rotating rod are rotatably mounted, and the inner wall of the second support plate and the surface of the lead screw are rotatably mounted.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This cup-dropping device for food filling can clamp the last cup through the lower clamping mechanism and clamp the second-to-last cup through the upper clamping mechanism, while blocking the cup above. When it is necessary to drop the cup, the lower clamping mechanism releases the last cup to drop it. After dropping the cup, the upper clamping mechanism releases the second-to-last cup, which then returns to the position of the last cup. Repeating the above operation allows for cup dropping. The rotating mechanism drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The lifting mechanism drives the cylinder and mounting frame to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the drop height of the cup and preventing the cup from tipping over. By setting two sets of rotating rods, the first bevel gear, the second bevel gear, the lead screw, and the moving plate, the lifting of the cylinder and mounting frame is more stable, achieving the purpose of easily adjusting the drop height of the cup. The structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example: Refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cup-dropping device for food filling, including a mounting frame 1. A first bevel gear 4 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1 via a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a dual-shaft motor 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1. A rotating rod 3 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the dual-shaft motor 2. One end of the rotating rod 3 is fixedly mounted to one side of the first bevel gear 4 to facilitate the rotation of the first bevel gear 4. There are two sets of rotating rods 3 and first bevel gears 4. A second bevel gear 5 is meshed on the surface of the first bevel gear 4. A cylinder 8 is mounted on the inner wall of the second bevel gear 5 via a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a lead screw 6 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the second bevel gear 5. A moving plate 7 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 6. The inner wall of the moving plate 7 and the cylinder 8 are connected. The surface of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly installed to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the cylinder 8. There are two sets of the second bevel gear 5, the lead screw 6, and the moving plate 7. The top of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly installed with the first support plate 16, and the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly installed with the second support plate 17. The inner wall of the first support plate 16 and the surface of the rotating rod 3 are rotatably installed, which makes the rotation of the rotating rod 3 more stable. The inner wall of the second support plate 17 and the surface of the lead screw 6 are rotatably installed, which makes the rotation of the lead screw 6 more stable. The bottom of the cylinder 8 is fixedly installed with the mounting frame 9. The inner wall of the mounting frame 9 is provided with a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod 10 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 9. The output end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed with a clamping plate 11. There are four sets of electric push rods 10 and clamping plates 11.
[0021] Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a limiting mechanism, which includes a limiting groove 12 formed in the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. A limiting block 13 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 12. One side of the limiting block 13 and one side of the moving plate 7 are fixedly installed to limit the moving plate 7, making the lifting and lowering of the moving plate 7 more stable. One side of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a mounting mechanism, which includes a mounting plate 14 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 1. A bolt 15 is threaded on the top of the mounting plate 14. The lower clamping mechanism can clamp the last cup, and the upper clamping mechanism can clamp the second to last cup and block the upper cup. When it is necessary to drop the cup, the lower clamping mechanism releases the last cup. One cup can drop the last cup. After dropping the cup, the clamping mechanism above releases the second-to-last cup, placing it in the original position of the last cup. Repeating this process allows for cup dropping. A rotating mechanism drives the first bevel gear 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 5. A lifting mechanism raises and lowers the cylinder 8 and mounting frame 9, thus adjusting the cup's drop height and preventing it from tipping over. By using two sets of rotating rods 3, the first bevel gear 4, the second bevel gear 5, the lead screw 6, and the moving plate 7, the raising and lowering of the cylinder 8 and mounting frame 9 is made more stable, achieving the goal of easily adjusting the cup's drop height. The structure is simple and easy to use.
[0022] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.
[0023] In use: When using this food filling cup dropping device, the entire assembly can be installed in the designated position by using the mounting plate 14 and bolts 15. By placing the cup inside the cylinder 8, the two sets of electric push rods 10 at the bottom drive the two sets of clamping plates 11 to move in opposite directions, clamping the last cup. Simultaneously, the two sets of electric push rods 10 at the top drive the two sets of clamping plates 11 to move in opposite directions, clamping the second-to-last cup and blocking the cup above. When it is necessary to drop the cup, the two sets of electric push rods 10 at the bottom drive the two sets of clamping plates 11 to move in opposite directions, releasing the last cup and allowing it to drop. After dropping, the two sets of electric push rods 10 at the top drive the two sets of clamping plates 11 to move in opposite directions again. This allows the second-to-last cup to be released and placed in the original position of the last cup. Repeating this process allows the cup to drop. The dual-axis motor 2 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 6 to rotate. The lead screw 6 then drives the moving plate 7 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the cylinder 8 and the mounting frame 9 to rise and fall. This allows the height of the cup's drop point to be adjusted, thus preventing the cup from tipping over. By setting up two sets of rotating rods 3, first bevel gears 4, second bevel gears 5, lead screw 6, and moving plate 7, the rising and falling of the cylinder 8 and mounting frame 9 becomes more stable, achieving the purpose of easily adjusting the height of the cup's drop point. The structure is simple and easy to use.
