A cold chain food sorting mechanism

Abstract

This utility model discloses a cold chain food sorting mechanism, including a first conveyor belt, a weighing conveyor belt at one end of the first conveyor belt, and second conveyor belts equidistantly arranged on the same side of the first conveyor belt. In this utility model, when sorting cold chain food, the conveying equipment transports the cold chain food to the weighing conveyor belt, where the weighing conveyor belt weighs the cold chain food. Then, a controller controls a corresponding hydraulic rod to rotate a baffle, causing the baffle end to abut against a slide. As the cold chain food is conveyed by the first conveyor belt and abuts against the inclined baffle, it moves along the inclined baffle towards the slide, and then falls onto the corresponding second conveyor belt. Through the multiple sets of second conveyor belts, baffles, and slides, the cold chain food can be sorted according to its weight. Furthermore, this sorting mechanism effectively prevents food from falling during sorting, thereby improving the protection effect during cold chain food sorting.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold chain food sorting technology, specifically a cold chain food sorting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cold chain food refers to a special supply chain system in which perishable foods are kept at the necessary low temperature environment throughout the entire process from acquisition or harvesting at the place of origin to processing, storage, transportation, distribution and retail, and finally to the consumer. This system aims to ensure food quality and safety, reduce losses, and prevent contamination. In the classification of cold chain food, it is necessary to grade the food according to its weight and use cold chain food sorting institutions to sort the food.

[0003] Current cold chain food sorting mechanisms, such as the cold chain food processing and sorting machine proposed in announcement number CN221790182U, include a first support plate and a second support plate. A controller is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the first support plate, a first conveyor belt is arranged in the middle of one side of the first support plate, a weighing scale is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the first support plate, a second light sensor is fixed to one side of the inner wall of the first support plate, a servo motor is fixed through the top of one side of the inner wall of the first support plate, a drive gear is fixed to the power output end of the servo motor, and a driven gear is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the inner wall of the first support plate. This device, through the cooperation of the first conveyor belt, the weighing scale, the servo motor, the second conveyor belt, the miniature telescopic cylinder, the first light sensor, the second light sensor, and the controller, enables feeding and sorting to be carried out simultaneously, thereby achieving the effect of continuously maintaining the sorting operation and improving sorting efficiency.

[0004] While existing cold chain food sorting mechanisms can improve sorting efficiency, it has been found that, in practice, these mechanisms, which use miniature telescopic cylinders to push pushers onto different conveyor belts to complete sorting, are prone to misalignment of unpackaged food items, causing them to fall off the conveyor belt. This makes it difficult to ensure that food items land on the third conveyor belt, which is inconvenient for use. Therefore, we propose a new cold chain food sorting mechanism to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cold chain food sorting mechanism to solve the problems currently existing in the market as mentioned in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cold chain food sorting mechanism, comprising a first conveyor belt, a weighing belt conveyor at one end of the first conveyor belt, and a second conveyor belt equidistantly arranged on the same side of the first conveyor belt, wherein...

[0007] A carriage is provided between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. A baffle is rotatably connected to the top of the frame on the side of the first conveyor belt away from the second conveyor belt. A fixed seat is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first conveyor belt corresponding to the baffle.

[0008] A hydraulic rod is rotatably connected to the fixed base. The end of the hydraulic rod away from the fixed base is rotatably connected to the baffle. Anti-fall mechanisms are symmetrically arranged at the top of the end of the second conveyor belt near the slide.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the carriage closest to the first conveyor belt is higher than the end closest to the second conveyor belt, and the carriage is inclined downwards from the direction of the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, the side of the baffle away from the hydraulic rod is rotatably connected to rollers at equal intervals.

[0011] Preferably, the baffle is driven to rotate by a hydraulic rod, and the length of the baffle is greater than the width of the first conveyor belt.

[0012] Preferably, the fall protection mechanism includes a fixed frame, and a fixed frame is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the second conveyor belt near the slide. A guide frame is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame. A V-shaped spring is installed between the guide frame and the fixed frame. A guide rod groove runs through the middle of the fixed frame. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the side of the guide frame corresponding to the guide rod groove. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod away from the guide frame.

[0013] Preferably, the guide frame and the fixed frame are elastically connected by a V-shaped spring.

[0014] Preferably, the guide rod has a rectangular cross-section, and the external dimensions of the guide rod match the internal dimensions of the guide rod groove, and the arc radius of the guide rod is the same as its vertical distance to the rotation point of the guide frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In this invention, during the sorting of cold chain food, a conveyor transports the cold chain food to a weighing belt conveyor. The weighing belt conveyor weighs the cold chain food, and then a controller controls a corresponding hydraulic rod to rotate a baffle. The baffle end then abuts against a slide. As the cold chain food is conveyed by the first conveyor belt and abuts against the inclined baffle, it moves along the inclined baffle towards the slide and then falls onto the corresponding second conveyor belt. Through the multiple sets of second conveyor belts, baffles, and slides, the cold chain food can be sorted according to its weight. Furthermore, this sorting mechanism effectively prevents food from falling during sorting, thereby improving the protection of cold chain food during sorting.

[0017] In this invention, a hydraulic rod controls the rotation of the baffle, thereby controlling the food to be sorted onto different second conveyor belts. When the cold chain food comes into contact with the inclined baffle, the baffle contacts the cold chain food through rollers, thereby effectively reducing the resistance caused by the baffle to the movement of the cold chain food, allowing the cold chain food to move smoothly along the inclined baffle, and avoiding the cold chain food from getting stuck on the first conveyor belt due to large resistance.

[0018] In this invention, when cold chain food slides from the carriage onto the second conveyor belt, it collides with the guide frame, causing the guide frame to rotate towards the fixed frame against the elastic force of the V-shaped spring. At the same time, the rotation of the guide frame is guided by the guide rod and guide rod groove. When the guide frame rotates towards the fixed frame, the channel formed by the guide frames on both sides of the second conveyor belt widens until the cold chain food passes smoothly through the guide frame and continues to be conveyed by the second conveyor belt. The elastically set guide frame can buffer and guide the sliding cold chain food, preventing it from rushing off the second conveyor belt when it falls, effectively preventing the cold chain food from falling off the second conveyor belt.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cold chain food sorting mechanism, including a first conveyor belt 1, a weighing belt conveyor 2 installed at one end of the first conveyor belt 1, and second conveyor belts 3 equidistantly arranged on the same side of the first conveyor belt 1, wherein...

[0025] A slide 4 is provided between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 3. A baffle 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the frame on the side of the first conveyor belt 1 away from the second conveyor belt 3. A fixed seat 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first conveyor belt 1 corresponding to the baffle 5.

[0026] A hydraulic rod 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 6. The end of the hydraulic rod 7 away from the fixed seat 6 is rotatably connected to the baffle 5. Anti-fall mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the top of the end of the second conveyor belt 3 near the slide 4.

[0027] When sorting cold chain food, the conveyor equipment transports the cold chain food to the weighing belt conveyor 2 (the weighing belt conveyor 2 is existing technology and is not related to the technical problem to be solved in this solution, so the existing technology is directly cited without explaining its structure and principle). The weighing belt conveyor 2 weighs the cold chain food, and then the controller 8 controls the corresponding hydraulic rod 7 to work (the controller 8 of the sorting machine is existing technology and is also not related to the technical problem to be solved in this solution, so the existing technology is directly cited). The hydraulic rod 7 drives the baffle 5 to rotate, so that the end of the baffle 5 abuts against the slide 4. When the cold chain food is transported by the first conveyor belt 1 and abuts against the inclined baffle 5, it moves along the inclined baffle 5 towards the slide 4, and then falls onto the corresponding second conveyor belt 3 through the slide 4. Through the multiple sets of second conveyor belts 3, baffles 5 and slides 4, the cold chain food can be sorted according to the weight. And through this sorting mechanism, the food can be effectively prevented from falling during sorting, thereby improving the protection effect of cold chain food during sorting.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The end of the carriage 4 near the first conveyor belt 1 is higher than the end near the second conveyor belt 3, and the carriage 4 is inclined downward from the first conveyor belt 1 to the second conveyor belt 3. When the cold chain food is conveyed by the first conveyor belt 1 and abuts against the inclined baffle 5, the cold chain food enters the carriage 4. Through the inclined carriage 4, the cold chain food finally falls onto the second conveyor belt 3.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A roller 501 is equidistantly connected to the side of the baffle 5 away from the hydraulic rod 7. The baffle 5 is driven to rotate by the hydraulic rod 7, and the length of the baffle 5 is greater than the width of the first conveyor belt 1. The rotation of the baffle 5 is controlled by the hydraulic rod 7, thereby controlling the food to be sorted onto different second conveyor belts 3. When the cold chain food comes into contact with the inclined baffle 5, the baffle 5 contacts the cold chain food through the roller 501, thereby effectively reducing the resistance caused by the baffle 5 to the movement of the cold chain food, so that the cold chain food can move smoothly along the inclined baffle 5, avoiding the cold chain food from being blocked on the first conveyor belt 1 due to large resistance.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3The fall arrestor includes a fixed frame 9. The fixed frame 9 is symmetrically fixed to the top of the second conveyor belt 3 near the slide 4. A guide frame 10 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 9. A V-shaped spring 11 is installed between the guide frame 10 and the fixed frame 9. A guide rod groove 12 runs through the middle of the fixed frame 9. A guide rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide frame 10 corresponding to the guide rod groove 12. A limit plate 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod 13 away from the guide frame 10. The guide frame 10 and the fixed frame 9 are elastically connected by the V-shaped spring 11. The cross-section of the guide rod 13 is rectangular, and the external dimensions of the guide rod 13 match the internal dimensions of the guide rod groove 12. Furthermore, the radius of curvature of the guide rod 13 is equal to its vertical distance from the point of rotation of the guide frame 10. Similarly, when the cold chain food slides from the carriage 4 onto the second conveyor belt 3, it will collide with the guide frame 10, causing the guide frame 10 to rotate towards the fixed frame 9 against the elastic force of the V-shaped spring 11. At the same time, the rotation of the guide frame 10 is guided by the guide rod 13 and the guide rod groove 12. When the guide frame 10 rotates towards the fixed frame 9, the channel formed by the guide frames 10 on both sides of the second conveyor belt 3 is widened until the cold chain food passes smoothly through the guide frame 10 and continues to be conveyed by the second conveyor belt 3. The elastically set guide frame 10 can buffer and guide the sliding cold chain food, preventing it from rushing out of the second conveyor belt 3 when it falls, effectively preventing the cold chain food from falling off the second conveyor belt 3.

[0031] Working Principle: This cold chain food sorting mechanism, when sorting cold chain food, uses a conveyor to transport the cold chain food to a weighing belt conveyor 2 (the weighing belt conveyor 2 is existing technology and is unrelated to the technical problem to be solved in this solution; therefore, existing technology is directly cited without explanation of its structure and principle). The cold chain food is weighed by the weighing belt conveyor 2, and then the corresponding hydraulic rod 7 is controlled by the controller 8 (the controller 8 of the sorting machine is existing technology and is also unrelated to the technical problem to be solved in this solution; existing technology is directly cited). The hydraulic rod 7 drives the baffle 5 to rotate, so that the end of the baffle 5 abuts against the slide 4. When the cold chain food is conveyed by the first conveyor belt 1 and abuts against the inclined baffle 5, it moves along the inclined baffle 5 toward the slide 4, and then falls onto the corresponding second conveyor belt 3 through the slide 4. Through the multiple sets of second conveyor belts 3, baffles 5 and slides 4, the cold chain food can be sorted according to the weight. And through this sorting mechanism, the food can be effectively prevented from falling during sorting, thereby improving the protection effect of cold chain food sorting.

[0032] The rotation of the baffle 5 is controlled by the hydraulic rod 7, thereby controlling the food sorting onto different second conveyor belts 3. When the cold chain food comes into contact with the inclined baffle 5, the baffle 5 contacts the cold chain food through the roller 501, thereby effectively reducing the resistance caused by the baffle 5 to the movement of the cold chain food, allowing the cold chain food to move smoothly along the inclined baffle 5, avoiding the cold chain food from blocking the first conveyor belt 1 due to large resistance. When the cold chain food slides from the carriage 4 onto the second conveyor belt 3, the cold chain food will collide with the guide frame 10, allowing the guide frame 10 to overcome the V-shaped spring. The plate 11 rotates elastically toward the fixed frame 9, and at the same time, the rotation of the guide frame 10 is guided by the guide rod 13 and the guide rod groove 12. When the guide frame 10 rotates toward the fixed frame 9, the channel formed by the guide frames 10 on both sides of the second conveyor belt 3 is widened until the cold chain food passes smoothly through the guide frame 10 and continues to be conveyed by the second conveyor belt 3. The elastically set guide frame 10 can buffer and guide the slipping cold chain food, preventing it from rushing out of the second conveyor belt 3 when it falls, effectively preventing the cold chain food from falling off the second conveyor belt 3.
