Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of filling equipment technology, specifically to a quantitative filling device for nutritious porridge. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional porridge production lines, the placement and transfer of porridge bowls are highly dependent on manual operation: workers must place empty porridge bowls one by one on the conveyor belt, and then manually pick them up and transfer them to the next workstation after filling. This model can be maintained in small workshops, but it exposes significant defects in industrial production scenarios: the repetitive fatigue of manual picking and placing leads to efficiency fluctuations, the workers' operating rhythm is difficult to match the speed of the assembly line, and porridge bowls often accumulate or the conveyor becomes disconnected.
[0003] Simple conveyor equipment lacks precise positioning, and misalignment of the porridge bowls often leads to inaccurate alignment of the filling head, causing material spillage and uneven volume, severely affecting product quality stability. The independent operation of each process lacks system linkage; positioning delays and poor workstation connections result in frequent conveyor belt starts and stops, and idle robotic arms, significantly reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, the rigid structure of the equipment cannot adapt to changes in specifications; changing porridge bowl sizes or adjusting filling volumes requires lengthy manual adjustments, accelerating mechanical wear and failing to meet the demands of multi-variety production. These problems not only increase labor costs and energy consumption but also increase the burden of quality inspection due to defective products, forming a systemic bottleneck restricting the industry's development.

[0031] See attached document Figures 1-7 A quantitative filling device for nutritious porridge includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a conveying mechanism 2 perpendicular to each other. Conveying mechanism 1 is used to sequentially convey porridge bowls, and conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey a porridge bowl conveying tray 3. A filling mechanism 5 is arranged above conveying mechanism 2. The porridge bowl conveying tray 3 has several placement slots arranged in a rectangular array for placing porridge bowls. A porridge bowl transfer mechanism 4 is arranged between conveying mechanism 1 and conveying mechanism 2, used to transfer several porridge bowls from conveying mechanism 1 to the placement slots on the porridge bowl conveying tray 3 of conveying mechanism 2. Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the porridge bowl conveying tray 3 has 6 placement slots along its length and 4 placement slots along its width. Figure 3 As shown, there are 6 positioning hydraulic cylinders 101, as follows: Figures 4-5 As shown, the mounting strip 84 is provided with 6 clamping blocks 85. The number of positioning hydraulic cylinders 101 and the number of clamping blocks 85 are equal to the number of placement slots in the length direction of the porridge bowl conveying tray 3. The spacing between adjacent clamping blocks 85 is the same as the spacing between adjacent placement slots.
[0032] The conveying mechanism 1 includes two parallel conveyor belts, and a number of positioning hydraulic cylinders 101 are arranged between the two conveyor belts. The piston rod of the positioning hydraulic cylinder 101 is fixedly provided with a positioning stop 102. The positioning hydraulic cylinder 101 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the distance between adjacent positioning stops 102 is equal to the distance between adjacent placement slots.
[0033] The porridge bowl transfer mechanism 4 includes a linear module 6 disposed above the conveying mechanism 1 and the conveying mechanism 2. A lifting mechanism 7 is fixedly installed on the output end of the linear module 6, and a clamping mechanism 8 is disposed at the lower end of the lifting mechanism 7.
[0034] The lifting mechanism 7 includes a connecting frame 71 fixed on the output end of the linear module 6. An electric push rod 72 is fixedly installed at the center of the lower end of the connecting frame 71. An mounting plate 73 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 72. The mounting plate 73 is used to install the clamping mechanism 8. A guide shaft 74 is fixedly installed on each of the four corners of the upper end of the mounting plate 73. A guide sleeve 75 is provided on each of the four corners of the lower end of the connecting frame 71. The guide shaft 74 is slidably installed in the guide sleeve 75.
[0035] The clamping mechanism 8 includes a first mounting base 81 and a second mounting base 82 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. A clamping cylinder 83 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second mounting base 82. An installation strip 84 is fixedly installed on the output end of the clamping cylinder 83. Several clamping blocks 85 are fixedly installed on the installation strip 84. A positioning stop strip 86 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the first mounting base 81.
[0036] The clamping block 85 has a V-shaped groove at one end near the positioning stop 86. Two guide rods 87 are fixedly installed on the positioning stop 86. A guide block 88 is fixedly installed on the mounting strip 84. A guide hole is opened on the guide block 88. The guide rods 87 are slidably installed in the guide hole.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] The two parallel conveyor belts of conveyor mechanism 1 operate at a constant speed, conveying empty porridge bowls sequentially along the conveying direction. The bowls move along the conveyor belts and enter the working area of the equipment. The positioning hydraulic cylinder 101 is in the retracted state, and the positioning stop 102 is lower than the surface of the conveyor belt, so it does not affect the conveying of the porridge bowls.
[0039] When the first bowl of porridge moves to the position corresponding to the first hydraulic cylinder 101 at the end of the positioning conveyor, it is detected by a photoelectric sensor. The piston rod of the positioning hydraulic cylinder 101 extends, pushing the positioning stop bar 102 to rise above the conveyor belt. Then the first bowl of porridge is blocked by the positioning stop bar 102. After the first bowl of porridge is positioned, the subsequent bowls of porridge continue to move with the conveyor belt. Whenever a bowl of porridge reaches the detection position, the corresponding positioning hydraulic cylinder 101 is activated in sequence, that is, the piston rod extends and drives the positioning stop bar 102 to rise, blocking the bowl of porridge and stopping it, until 6 bowls of porridge are positioned at equal intervals, forming a queue corresponding to the layout of the tray placement slot.
[0040] As the porridge bowls move along the conveyor belt, they are blocked by positioning stops 102. The distance between adjacent positioning stops 102 is strictly consistent with the spacing between adjacent placement slots on the porridge bowl conveying tray 3, ensuring that the porridge bowls form an equidistant queue on the conveyor mechanism 1. This ensures that the position of each porridge bowl corresponds one-to-one with the tray placement slot, preparing for the subsequent batch grabbing by the transfer mechanism.
[0041] The linear module 6 is in its initial coordinate position, at the first gripping point above the conveying mechanism 1. The electric push rod 72 of the lifting mechanism 7 is in the retracted state, and the clamping mechanism 8 is in a high position to avoid interference with the porridge bowls. The linear module 6 drives the connecting frame 71 to move horizontally, so that the clamping mechanism 8 is aligned directly above the first porridge bowl set to be gripped on the conveying mechanism 1.
[0042] When the electric push rod 72 is powered on, it extends and pushes the mounting plate 73 downward. The guide shaft 74 slides down synchronously inside the guide sleeve 75, ensuring that the mounting plate 73 descends vertically and avoiding tilting.
[0043] The clamping mechanism 8 descends with the mounting plate 73 to the top of the porridge bowl. At this point, the positioning stop 86 aligns with the edge of the porridge bowl, and the clamping block 85 is located on the other side of the bowl. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 83 extends, pushing the mounting strip 84 towards the positioning stop 86, and the clamping block 85 on the mounting strip 84 moves synchronously. The end of the clamping block 85 near the positioning stop 86 has a V-groove, which stably clamps the porridge bowl when in contact with the outer wall of the bowl; at the same time, the positioning stop 86 abuts against the other side of the porridge bowl to prevent the bowl from shifting during gripping. The guide rod 87 slides within the guide hole of the guide block 88 to ensure the straightness of the mounting strip 84 during translation and to avoid eccentric clamping force.
[0044] After clamping cylinder 83 completes clamping, electric push rod 72 retracts, causing mounting plate 73, clamping mechanism 8, and porridge bowls to rise synchronously, detaching from the conveyor belt surface of conveyor mechanism 1 to avoid collisions during movement. Linear module 6 actuates again, moving horizontally above conveyor mechanism 2, aligning the porridge bowls with the target placement slots. Electric push rod 72 extends, slowly lowering six porridge bowls into the six placement slots of the first row until the bottom of the bowls contacts the bottom of the slots, ensuring accurate positioning. The piston rod of clamping cylinder 83 retracts, and mounting bar 84 moves clamping block 85 away from positioning stop bar 86, releasing the porridge bowls, which then fall stably into the placement slots. When one row of slots on the porridge bowl conveying tray 3 is filled, conveyor mechanism 2 starts, moving the porridge bowl conveying tray 3 forward one position, aligning the next row of placement slots with the placement position of transfer mechanism 4.
[0045] The electric push rod 72 retracts, the clamping mechanism 8 rises to a safe height, and the linear module 6 moves to the gripping position for the next set of porridge bowls according to the program, preparing to repeat the gripping action. Simultaneously, the positioning hydraulic cylinder 101 on the conveyor mechanism 1 retracts, releasing the next set of 6 porridge bowls, allowing them to move forward to the positioning stop bar 102 for repositioning, entering the next gripping cycle until the tray is completely filled or a stop signal is received. In subsequent processes, the tray filled with porridge bowls is conveyed by the conveyor mechanism 2 to the filling mechanism 5 for precise filling of the nutritious porridge.
[0046] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
