Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically a ham sausage tray system. Background Technology
[0002] Ham sausage is a common processed meat product, made primarily from livestock and poultry meat, with the addition of seasonings, spices, quality improvers, color protectants, water-retaining agents, preservatives, and other substances. It is produced through processing methods such as marinating, chopping (or emulsifying), and high-temperature steaming. It has a delicious taste, delicate texture, is convenient to carry, and has a long shelf life, making it popular with consumers.
[0003] As living standards improve, people's demands for material and cultural products are also increasing, including higher standards for food. Food production companies not only need to develop safer, healthier, and more cost-effective foods, but also require aesthetically pleasing products. The typical production process for ham sausages includes: raw material marinating → filling → sterilization. After filling, the sausages are placed in sterilization trays, which are then pushed into a sterilizing pot for steaming and sterilization. To maintain a visually appealing product and reduce defective products (for example, uneven placement of filled sausages on the sterilization trays can result in sausages with unattractive shapes), companies often use manual methods for placement. However, manual labor is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient and prone to errors, affecting production efficiency and continuity. It also poses safety hazards such as contamination and hinders the progress of automated production, representing a waste of human resources. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the issues of low stacking efficiency and high labor intensity when handling curved sausages, this invention provides a sausage stacking system.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A ham sausage palletizing system includes a feeding hopper and a conveying system. The feeding hopper is provided with a vertical feeding channel, and multiple guiding components are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the feeding channel.
[0007] The material guiding assembly includes a first material guiding plate and a second material guiding plate. The first material guiding plate is arranged at a downward angle, and its higher end is connected to one of the inner walls of the material feeding channel. The second material guiding plate is arranged at a downward angle below the first material guiding plate, and its higher end is connected to the inner wall of the material feeding channel opposite to the first material guiding plate.
[0008] The material conveying system is located below the feeding hopper and includes multiple conveyor frames, which are evenly distributed along the width direction of the feeding channel outlet. The material conveying direction of the conveyor frames is perpendicular to the width direction of the feeding channel outlet. Two transmission belts are mounted side by side on the conveyor frames, and separators are evenly distributed on the two transmission belts.
[0009] A further improvement of this invention is that the gap between the adjacent material guiding components decreases sequentially from top to bottom.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the above-mentioned material guiding assembly also includes a pressure plate parallel to the second material guiding plate. The pressure plate is located between the first material guiding plate and the second material guiding plate, and the higher end of the pressure plate is connected to the lower end of the first material guiding plate.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the vertical distance between the pressure plate and the second guide plate in the same material guiding assembly decreases sequentially from top to bottom.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that the above-mentioned transmission frame also includes a synchronous connecting rod perpendicular to the material conveying direction in the horizontal plane, and the two ends of the synchronous connecting rod are respectively connected to two opposite separators.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the above-mentioned separator has an overall triangular structure, and both sides of the triangle are concave arc surfaces.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that a collection bin is provided below the above-mentioned material conveying system, and the collection bin is located at the end of the conveyor frame near the unloading bin.
[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adjusting the direction of the ham sausage through multiple guiding components in the feeding channel, most of the sausages are placed horizontally and fall onto the conveyor frame, so that the sausages can be separated and received by four adjacent and side by side separators. A few sausages that are displaced during the falling process fall through the gaps and are then re-stacked. The mechanical operation improves the stacking efficiency and reduces the labor intensity.

[0020] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.
[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a ham sausage palletizing system, including a feeding bin 10 and a conveying system 20. The feeding bin 10 has a vertical feeding channel 11, and multiple guiding components are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the feeding channel 11; the gap between adjacent guiding components decreases sequentially from top to bottom. This helps to gradually guide the sausage body to lie horizontally. The guiding components include a first guiding plate 12 and a second guiding plate 13. The first guiding plate 12 is arranged at a downward angle, and its higher end is connected to one of the inner walls of the feeding channel 11. The lower end of the first guiding plate 12 and the other inner wall opposite to the feeding channel 11 have a gap reserved to allow the sausage body to pass through. The second guiding plate 13 is arranged at a downward angle below the first guiding plate 12, and its higher end is connected to the inner wall of the feeding channel 11 opposite to the first guiding plate 12. It can block the vertical intestine when it passes through the feeding channel 11 and complete the horizontal orientation adjustment; specifically, when one end of the intestine touches any of the components of the feeding channel 11, guide plate 12 and guide plate 13, it tilts and rotates by inertia, and when it passes through multiple guide components step by step, it forms a stable horizontal falling shape of the intestine.
[0022] The material guiding assembly also includes a pressure plate 14 parallel to the second material guiding plate 13. The pressure plate 14 is located between the first material guiding plate 12 and the second material guiding plate 13, with its higher end connected to the lower end of the first material guiding plate 12. The vertical distance between the pressure plate 14 and the second material guiding plate 13 within the same material guiding assembly decreases sequentially from top to bottom. By utilizing the size range where the vertical distance between the pressure plate 14 and the second material guiding plate 13 is less than two intestinal diameters but greater than one intestinal diameter, internal compression and blockage of the intestines are avoided, and interference from other intestinal bodies during the adjustment process is prevented.
[0023] The material conveying system 20 is located below the feeding hopper 10 and includes multiple conveyor frames 21, which are evenly distributed along the width direction of the discharge port of the feeding channel 11. The conveying direction of the conveyor frames 21 is perpendicular to the width direction of the discharge port of the feeding channel 11. Two drive belts 22 are mounted side by side on each conveyor frame 21, and spacers 23 are evenly distributed on the two drive belts 22. The conveyor frame 21 also includes a synchronous connecting rod 24 perpendicular to the conveying direction in the horizontal plane. The two ends of the synchronous connecting rod 24 are respectively connected to two opposite spacers 23. The synchronous connecting rod 24 connects the opposite spacers 23 on both sides, which helps to strengthen the overall structural strength and enhance the stability during the material conveying process. The material is dropped onto the conveyor frame 21 so that the intestines can be separated and received by four adjacent and side-by-side separators 23. If a few intestines are displaced during the falling process, they will fall through the gaps and be re-stacked. The two drive belts 22 on the same conveyor frame 21 have a hollow structure, which helps to allow the intestines to fall through the hollows when the ends of the intestines cannot fall onto the separators 23 during the falling process.
[0024] The separator 23 has a triangular structure, with both sides of the triangle being concave arc surfaces. This helps to fit the cylindrical surface of the intestine and form a buffer.
[0025] A collection bin 30 is provided below the conveying system 20, and the collection bin 30 is located at the end of the conveyor frame 21 near the discharge bin 10. The end of the collection bin 30 away from the discharge bin 10 has a downward inclined surface to guide the falling intestines.
[0026] The ham sausage stacking system described in this utility model uses multiple guiding components in the feeding channel to orient the ham sausages, so that most sausages are placed horizontally and fall onto the conveyor frame. The sausages are then separated and received by four adjacent and side-by-side separators. A few sausages that are displaced during the fall fall through the gaps and can be re-stacked. The mechanical operation improves stacking efficiency and reduces labor intensity.
[0027] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
