Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food tableting technology, specifically a functional food tableting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Functional foods are foods with specific nutritional and health benefits, suitable for specific groups of people, and designed to regulate bodily functions without therapeutic purposes. They are sometimes also called health supplements. However, in academic and research contexts, the term "functional food" is more scientifically accurate. Their scope includes: foods that enhance physical fitness (boost immunity, activate the lymphatic system, etc.); foods that prevent diseases (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, constipation, and tumors, etc.); foods that restore health (control cholesterol, prevent platelet aggregation, regulate hematopoietic function, etc.); foods that regulate bodily rhythms (central nervous system, nerve endings, absorption and uptake functions, etc.); and foods that delay aging. Currently, some functional foods are produced using tableting machines.

[0003] For example, patent CN221843784U discloses a food tableting machine that facilitates material handling. The machine includes a body, with a top mold assembly at the upper part of the body. A support seat is fixedly connected to one side of the top wall of the body, and a guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support seat. A screening assembly is located on one side of the body below the guide plate. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the body, with its output end penetrating the top of the body and fixedly connected to a sliding plate. Pressure rods are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the sliding plate. Through the pneumatic telescopic rod, push plate, guide plate, and top mold assembly, the top mold assembly ejects the tableted food from the support seat. The pneumatic telescopic rod then moves the push plate, pushing the tableted food discharged from the top mold and discharging it through the guide plate. This achieves automatic material handling, avoiding the tedious and inconvenient manual handling required in traditional methods and improving the efficiency of material handling.

[0004] However, the aforementioned food tableting machines that facilitate material handling cannot automatically fill functional food powders and automatically discharge the tableted food during continuous production. This can lead to interruptions in the production process. Furthermore, the speed of manual filling is relatively slow and cannot match the tableting speed, resulting in an inability to improve overall production efficiency and reduce the equipment's capacity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a functional food tablet press to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that the functional food powder raw materials cannot be automatically filled and the pressed food tablets cannot be automatically discharged during continuous production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A functional food tablet press includes: a connecting seat, a guide rod fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the connecting seat, a connecting rod rotatably mounted inside the guide rod, one end of the connecting rod being fixedly connected to the output shaft of a first motor, the first motor being fixedly mounted on one end of the guide rod, a top pressure plate rotatably mounted on the other end of the connecting rod, a tableting column fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the top pressure plate, the tableting column being flush with a loading and unloading mechanism, and the loading and unloading mechanism being rotatably mounted on the upper surface inside the connecting seat.

[0008] Preferably, guide rings are fixedly installed at both ends of the top pressure plate, and the guide rings are slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod.

[0009] Preferably, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a second motor, which is fixedly installed in the connecting seat. A tray is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second motor, and a turntable is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the tray and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. A filling port is opened on the upper surface of the turntable.

[0010] Preferably, the filling port can be driven by a second motor via a turntable to be flush with the tableting column.

[0011] Preferably, the filling port is through-hole and can be sealed to the bottom by the tray, so that the tableting column can compress the functional food powder raw material into tablets and store them between the filling port and the tray.

[0012] Preferably, a discharge port is provided at one end of the lower surface of the tray, and the discharge port can be flush with and connected to the rotating filling port, so that the sheet material in the filling port can be discharged from it.

[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is provided at the lower end of the filling port, and the guide plate is fixedly installed between the connecting seats.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixedly installed between the outer surfaces of the multiple sets of filling ports. A feed tube is slidably attached to the surface of the connecting ring, so that the feed tube can be rotated by the turntable through the connecting ring to be flush with the filling port. A storage cylinder is connected to the upper surface of the feed tube. The storage cylinder is fixedly installed inside the ring sleeve. The ring sleeve is fixedly installed at one end of the outer surface of the guide rod.

[0015] Preferably, the lower surface of the storage cylinder and the upper surface of the turntable are both in contact with the rubber column, the rubber column is fixedly installed at one end of the floating plate, the floating plate is damped and slidably installed inside the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly installed at one end of the upper surface of the connecting seat.

[0016] Preferably, a vibration motor is fixedly installed at one end of the floating plate, so that the vibration motor can transmit the vibration force to the storage cylinder and the turntable through the rubber column.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. Through the design of the first motor, connecting rod, pressing column, and loading / unloading mechanism, the first motor and loading / unloading mechanism can be started simultaneously during use. The first motor drives the connecting rod to push and pull the top plate back and forth, causing the pressing column on the lower surface to press back and forth into the rotating loading / unloading mechanism. The started loading / unloading mechanism automatically fills the stored functional food powder raw material into the loading / unloading mechanism and is driven to rotate until it is flush with the pressing column. The reciprocating pressing column can then press the filled functional food powder raw material into tablets. As the loading / unloading mechanism rotates, the pressed food tablets can be discharged into the guide plate to achieve automatic unloading. In this way, the processes of filling, pressing, and unloading functional food powder raw materials can be carried out continuously with the rotation of the loading / unloading mechanism without manual intervention, which greatly improves production efficiency, realizes automated mass production of food tablets, reduces the time of each production cycle, and increases the production capacity of the equipment.

[0019] 2. Through the design of the tray, discharge port, turntable, filling port, storage cylinder, feed pipe, vibrating motor, and floating plate, the first motor drives the pressing column to reciprocate during the pressing process, while simultaneously activating the second motor and the vibrating motor. The second motor then drives the filling port on the upper surface of the turntable to align with the feed pipe, allowing the feed pipe to guide the functional food powder from the storage cylinder into the filling port. Meanwhile, the activated vibrating motor drives the rubber columns fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the floating plate to transmit vibration force to the storage cylinder and turntable, ensuring that the functional food powder in the storage cylinder is fully filled into the filling port. The vibration force on the turntable further compacts the functional food powder stored in the filling port, guaranteeing the quality of the functional food powder filled into the filling port each time. The relatively consistent process helps improve the stability of tableting quality. The filling port of the functional food powder can be driven by the turntable to align with the tableting column in sequence. At the same time, the adjacent filling port at the other end will also align with the feed pipe in sequence. The tableting column can then press the functional food powder into the filling port to compress it into tablets and store them in the filling port. As the turntable rotates, it drives the filling port to align with the discharge port of the tray. The turntable can then use the applied vibration force to drop the compressed tablets from the bottom of the filling port through the discharge port into the guide plate. Through the continuous rotation of the turntable, the filling, tableting and unloading processes of functional food powder can be carried out continuously. The close cooperation of each link ensures the stability and smoothness of the entire production process, which is conducive to realizing large-scale automated production.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a functional food tablet press, including: a connecting seat 1, a guide rod 101 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting seat 1, a connecting rod 103 rotatably installed inside the guide rod 101, one end of the connecting rod 103 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of a first motor 102, the first motor 102 being fixedly installed at one end of the guide rod 101, a top pressure plate 104 rotatably installed at the other end of the connecting rod 103, a tableting column 105 being fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top pressure plate 104, the tableting column 105 being able to be flush with the loading and unloading mechanism 2, the loading and unloading mechanism 2 being rotatably installed on the inner upper surface of the connecting seat 1, and guide rings 106 being fixedly installed at both ends of the top pressure plate 104, the guide rings 106 being slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 101.

[0027] Through the design of the first motor 102, connecting rod 103, pressing column 105, and loading / unloading mechanism 2, the first motor 102 and loading / unloading mechanism 2 can be started simultaneously during use. The first motor 102 drives the connecting rod 103 to push and pull the top plate 104 back and forth, causing the pressing column 105 on the lower surface to press back and forth into the rotating loading / unloading mechanism 2. The started loading / unloading mechanism 2 can automatically fill the stored functional food powder raw materials into the loading / unloading mechanism 2 and be driven to rotate until it is flush with the pressing column 105. The reciprocating pressing column 105 can then press the filled functional food powder raw materials into tablets again. As the loading / unloading mechanism 2 rotates, the pressed food tablets can be discharged into the guide plate 109 to achieve automatic unloading. In this way, the processes of filling, pressing, and unloading functional food powder raw materials can be carried out continuously with the rotation of the loading / unloading mechanism 2 without manual intervention, which greatly improves production efficiency, realizes automated mass production of food tablets, reduces the time of each production cycle, and increases the production capacity of the equipment.

[0028] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the loading and unloading mechanism 2 includes a second motor 203, which is fixedly installed in the connecting seat 1. A tray 201 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second motor 203. A turntable 204 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the tray 201 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 203. A filling port 205 is provided on the upper surface of the turntable 204. The filling port 205 can be driven by the second motor 203 through the turntable 204 to be flush with the tableting column 105. The filling port 205 is through-hole. The bottom can be sealed by the tray 201, so that the tableting column 105 can compress the functional food powder raw material into tablets and store them between the filling port 205 and the tray 201. A discharge port 202 is provided at one end of the lower surface of the tray 201. The discharge port 202 can be flush with and connected to the rotating filling port 205, so that the tablet material in the filling port 205 can be discharged from it. A guide plate 109 is provided at the lower end of the filling port 205, and the guide plate 109 is fixedly installed between the connecting seats 1.

[0029] Among them, a connecting ring 206 is fixedly installed between the outer surfaces of multiple filling ports 205. A feed pipe 210 is slidably attached to the surface of the connecting ring 206, so that the feed pipe 210 can be rotated by the turntable 204 through the connecting ring 206 and become flush with the filling port 205. A storage cylinder 209 is connected to the upper surface of the feed pipe 210. The storage cylinder 209 is fixedly installed inside the ring sleeve 107. The ring sleeve 107 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer surface of the guide rod 101.

[0030] The lower surface of the storage cylinder 209 and the upper surface of the turntable 204 are in contact with the rubber column 211. The rubber column 211 is fixedly installed at one end of the floating plate 207. The floating plate 207 is damped and slidably installed inside the connecting rod 108. The connecting rod 108 is fixedly installed at one end of the upper surface of the connecting seat 1. A vibration motor 208 is fixedly installed at one end of the floating plate 207, so that the vibration motor 208 can transmit the vibration force to the storage cylinder 209 and the turntable 204 through the rubber column 211.

[0031] Through the design of tray 201, discharge port 202, turntable 204, filling port 205, storage cylinder 209, feed pipe 210, vibration motor 208, and floating plate 207, during the reciprocating pressing process of the first motor 102 driving the pressing column 105, the second motor 203 and vibration motor 208 can be started simultaneously. The second motor 203 can then drive the filling port 205 on the upper surface of the turntable 204 to be flush with the feed pipe 210, thereby enabling the feed pipe 210 to fill the storage cylinder 209. The functional food powder in container 209 is introduced into the filling port 205. The activated vibration motor 208 drives the rubber columns 211 fixedly mounted on the upper and lower surfaces of the floating plate 207 to transmit vibration force to the storage cylinder 209 and the turntable 204. This ensures that the functional food powder in the storage cylinder 209 is fully filled into the filling port 205. The vibration force on the turntable 204 further compacts the functional food powder stored in the filling port 205, ensuring a more efficient filling process each time. The functional food powder raw materials in the filling port 205 have relatively consistent quality, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the tableting quality. The filling port 205 filled with the functional food powder raw materials can be driven by the turntable 204 to align with the tableting column 105 in sequence. At the same time, the other adjacent filling port 205 will also be aligned with the feed pipe 210 in sequence. The tableting column 105 can then press the functional food powder raw materials into tablets and store them in the filling port 205 as the turntable 204 rotates. When the rotating turntable 204 rotates to align the filling port 205 with the discharge port 202 of the tray 201, the applied vibration force allows the pressed sheet material to fall from the bottom of the filling port 205 through the discharge port 202 into the guide plate 109. Through the continuous rotation of the turntable 204, the filling, pressing, and unloading processes of functional food powder raw materials can be carried out continuously. The close cooperation of each link ensures the stability and smoothness of the entire production process, which is conducive to achieving large-scale automated production.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: During use, the first motor 102, the second motor 203, and the vibration motor 208 can be started simultaneously. The first motor 102 drives the connecting rod 103 to reciprocate push and pull the top pressure plate 104, causing the pressing column 105 on the lower surface to reciprocate and press into the filling port 205 of the rotating turntable 204. Meanwhile, the started second motor 203 drives the filling port 205 on the upper surface of the turntable 204 to align with the feed pipe 210, thus allowing the feed pipe 210 to guide the functional food powder from the storage cylinder 209 into the filling port 205. The started vibration motor 208 drives the rubber columns 211 fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the floating plate 207 to transmit vibration force to the storage cylinder 209 and the turntable 204, thereby ensuring that the functional food powder in the storage cylinder 209 is fully filled into the filling port 205. Within 05, the vibration force received by the turntable 204 can make the functional food powder stored in the filling port 205 more compact, ensuring that the quality of the functional food powder filled into the filling port 205 is relatively consistent each time. The filling port 205 filled with functional food powder can be driven by the turntable 204 to be aligned with the tableting column 105 in turn. At the same time, the other adjacent filling port 205 will also be aligned with the feed pipe 210 in turn. The tableting column 105 can then press the functional food powder into tablets and store them in the filling port 205. As the turntable 204 rotates, it drives the filling port 205 to be aligned with the discharge port 202 of the tray 201. The turntable 204 can then use the applied vibration force to drop the tablets from the lower end of the filling port 205 through the discharge port 202 into the guide plate 109 and be discharged. This process is repeated.

[0033] In summary, this functional food tablet press, through the continuous rotation of the turntable 204, enables the continuous operation of processes such as filling, tableting, and unloading of functional food powder raw materials. The close coordination of each link ensures the stability and smoothness of the entire production process, which is conducive to achieving large-scale automated production.
