[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instant noodle production, and in particular to an automatic packing device for instant noodle production. Background Technology

[0002] Instant noodles, also known as convenient noodles, ready-to-eat noodles, or quick-cooking noodles, are a type of pre-cooked dried noodle product. They are usually served with seasoning packets or dehydrated vegetables, meats, and other ingredients. Instant noodles are designed to be prepared for quick consumption. In the instant noodle production industry, the packaging process is a crucial link in the production process, and its efficiency and quality directly affect the overall efficiency of the production line and the market competitiveness of the product.

[0003] Current instant noodle packaging methods typically involve conveying the noodles to a suction cup, which then lifts the noodles and places them into a box. However, most suction cups on current equipment are fixed structures, and their position and shape cannot be flexibly adjusted. This makes it difficult to meet the gripping needs of instant noodles in different diameters and sizes, requiring the replacement of gripping components. This process is complex, time-consuming, and affects packaging and production efficiency, making it very inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic packing device for instant noodle production that can adjust the position of the electric suction cup horizontally and vertically to adapt to the gripping and packing of instant noodles of different diameters and specifications, without the need to change equipment, saving time, improving packing efficiency, and being flexible and convenient.

[0024] This device can be used when automatic boxing of instant noodles is required. The base 1 is brought into contact with the ground, and the device is positioned behind the instant noodle distribution equipment. Two rows of instant noodles are moved onto the conveyor belt 2, and then the noodle boxes are placed on the base 1. Based on the specifications and diameter of the noodles, the processor activates the second electric push rod 9 via the control module. The second electric push rod 9 drives the moving block 81 to move, causing the telescopic frame 10 to rotate and unfold. This causes the corresponding sliding block 12 to move along the guide rod 11, moving the electric slide rail 13 and the electric suction cup 14, and moving the sliding plate 80. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the second electric push rod 9 is closed, and the telescopic frame 10... The processor, via its control module, activates the electric slide rail 13. The slider on the electric slide rail 13 moves, causing the electric suction cup 14 to move and adjust to a suitable position. Afterward, the electric slide rail 13 is closed, and the conveyor belt 2 is activated. The conveyor belt 2 transports the cupped instant noodles to a suitable position. Then, the processor, via its control module, activates the first electric push rod 3. The first electric push rod 3 moves the connecting frame 4, pushing the cupped instant noodles together.

The first electric push rod 3 then reverses its operation, causing the connecting frame 4 to move in the opposite direction and reset. After closing the first electric push rod 3, the processor activates the ordinary cylinder 6 via the control module. The ordinary cylinder 6 drives the connecting plate 7 to move, causing the electric suction cup 14 to move and contact the instant noodles. Then, the electric suction cup 14 is activated to pick up the instant noodles. The ordinary cylinder 6 then reverses its operation, causing the electric suction cup 14 to move back to its original position, lifting the instant noodles. The ordinary cylinder 6 is then closed. The processor activates the trackless cylinder 5 on the support plate 101 via the control module. The support plate 101 is folded for easy support. The slider on the trackless cylinder 5 moves, causing the ordinary cylinder 6 to move to the top of the instant noodle box. The ordinary cylinder 6 is then activated, driving the connecting plate 7 to move. The connecting plate 7 and the electric suction cup 14 move, allowing the instant noodles to be moved into the instant noodle box for placement. Then, the electric suction cup 14 is closed, and the ordinary cylinder 6 operates in the reverse direction, causing the electric suction cup 14 to move back to its original position. Next, the slider on the trackless cylinder 5 moves, driving the ordinary cylinder 6 to move back to its original position, thus resetting the connecting plate 7 and the electric suction cup 14. The instant noodle box is then removed and sealed, and a new instant noodle box is placed on the base 1. The above operation is repeated to pack the instant noodles until packing is complete. This allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the electric suction cup 14 to accommodate different diameters and sizes of instant noodles in containers, eliminating the need to change equipment, saving time, improving packing efficiency, and providing flexible and convenient use.Then simply turn off conveyor belt 2.
