Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food machinery technology, and in particular to an enema system. Background Technology
[0002] A sausage stuffer is a food processing machine that fills sausage casings with materials such as minced meat. The sausage stuffer includes a shell, inside which is a sausage stuffing mechanism. A hopper is located on the top of the shell, which guides the filling material into the sausage stuffing mechanism, which then transports the filling material into the sausage casing.
[0003] In the meat processing process, automatic sausage filling machines are mostly equipped with a lifting and tilting mechanism and a feeding trolley. The feeding trolley is lifted from a horizontal position on the ground to the side and above the hopper by the lifting and tilting mechanism and then tilted to feed the meat into the hopper of the sausage filling machine. The hopper of the existing automatic sausage filling machine is open. When the hopper is left open for a long time, foreign objects can easily enter the sausage filling mechanism through the hopper, such as condensate water and fine particles in the air, which will contaminate the filling of meat products and affect the production quality of sausages. At present, dustproof sausage filling machines have emerged (such as publication number CN210538553U).
[0004] Existing dustproof sausage filling machines have a cover installed on the hopper, which is connected to a rotating wall plate via a connecting rod. The rotating arm plate is used to drive the feeding trolley to rise, fall, and rotate, so as to realize the linkage between filling pouring and hopper cover opening and closing. During operation, the rotating arm plate drives the feeding trolley to move in an arc trajectory, which occupies a lot of space. Moreover, the rotating wall plate and the structure used to clamp the feeding trolley are hinged, which makes the lifting and falling and rotating process of the feeding trolley unstable and cannot guarantee the accuracy of filling pouring. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problem of unstable lifting and tilting of the feeding trolley in existing dustproof sausage filling machines, as described in the background, this invention provides a sausage filling system.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This utility model provides a sausage filling system, including a sausage filling machine with a hopper at the top. A lifting and tilting mechanism is provided on one side of the sausage filling machine. The lifting and tilting mechanism includes a frame, on which a vertical drive unit is fixedly mounted. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the output end of the vertical drive unit. A clamping unit is rotatably connected to the mounting base via a rotation drive assembly. A cover is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base via a connecting arm. The cover is located directly above the hopper and is higher than the clamping unit. There is space between the cover and the clamping unit that allows a feeding trolley to tilt. The clamping unit can connect to the feeding trolley to lift and tilt it, allowing the filling on the feeding trolley to be poured into the hopper. The arrangement of the vertical drive unit, the rotation drive assembly, and the mounting base... While ensuring the feeding trolley can be raised, lowered, and tilted, the stability and accuracy of the raising and tilting of the feeding trolley are improved, and the space occupied by the raising and tilting of the feeding trolley is reduced. Through the setting of the connecting arm, the action of the cover and the clamping unit can be linked. When the clamping unit drives the feeding trolley to rise, the connecting arm drives the cover to rise simultaneously to remove the cover from the hopper. When the clamping unit drives the feeding trolley to fall, the connecting arm drives the cover to fall simultaneously to cover the hopper, avoiding the hopper being in an open state for a long time. This effectively prevents impurities from entering the sausage filling machine through the hopper and contaminating the filling. The linkage between the clamping unit and the cover eliminates the need for manual assistance in disassembling and assembling the cover, effectively reducing labor intensity and ensuring work efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the connecting arm has an L-shaped structure, with the top of the connecting arm higher than the clamping unit. The top of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the cover via a connecting rod. The connecting arm enables the cover to be higher than the clamping unit and ensures the linkage between the vertical movement of the cover and the clamping unit.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping unit has a U-shaped structure, which facilitates connection with the feeding trolley.
[0010] Preferably, the clamping unit includes two clamping arms arranged opposite each other. A limiting groove is fixedly provided on the inner side of the clamping arms. The limiting groove has a U-shaped protrusion structure. A limiting insert plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the feeding trolley. The limiting insert plate is used to be inserted into the limiting groove to realize the positioning and limiting of the feeding trolley.
[0011] Preferably, a spring pin is movably installed on the clamping arm. The pin shaft of the spring pin passes through the clamping arm laterally. The outer wall of the feeding trolley is provided with a socket. The spring pin can be inserted into the corresponding socket to assist in the limiting of the feeding trolley and prevent the feeding trolley from shifting and slipping during lifting, turning and rotating.
[0012] Preferably, the end of the spring pin is fixed with a handle, which allows the operator to easily pull the spring pin laterally when transferring the feeding trolley, so as to manually and quickly release the limit on the feeding trolley.
[0013] Preferably, at least two guide columns are fixed on the support frame. The guide columns are vertically arranged, and the mounting base is slidably connected to the guide columns to guide the mounting base and ensure that the vertical movement of the mounting base will not deflect.
[0014] Preferably, a buffer unit is fixedly provided on the top of the stand, and the buffer unit is located directly above the mounting base to buffer the mounting base and prevent the mounting base from colliding and being damaged by the stand.
[0015] Preferably, the vertical drive unit is an electric telescopic cylinder, and the rotation drive component is a turntable structure driven by a motor. This ensures that the feeding trolley can be raised, lowered, and rotated, while improving the stability and accuracy of the feeding trolley's raising, lowering, and rotating, and reducing the space occupied by the feeding trolley's raising, lowering, and rotating.
[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The clamping unit is movably mounted on the upright frame via a mounting base. The mounting base is connected to the cover via a connecting arm. The clamping unit can be connected to the feeding trolley to lift and rotate the feeding trolley, allowing the filling on the feeding trolley to be poured into the hopper. The vertical drive unit, rotary drive assembly, and mounting base configuration ensure that the feeding trolley can be raised, lowered, and rotated, while improving the stability and accuracy of the feeding trolley's lifting and rotating, and reducing the space occupied by the feeding trolley's lifting and rotating. The connecting arm configuration enables the linkage between the cover and the clamping unit. The linkage between the clamping unit and the cover eliminates the need for manual assistance in disassembling and assembling the cover, effectively reducing labor intensity and ensuring work efficiency.
[0018] 2. The clamping arm is equipped with a limiting groove and a spring pin, and the feeding trolley is equipped with a corresponding limiting plate and a socket. The limiting plate is used to be inserted into the limiting groove, and the spring pin can be inserted into the corresponding socket to realize the positioning and limiting of the feeding trolley, ensuring the connection between the clamping unit and the feeding trolley is firm and convenient, preventing displacement and slippage during the lifting and turning of the feeding trolley, and improving the running stability of the feeding trolley.

[0028] 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.
[0029] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4As shown, a sausage filling system is proposed, including a sausage filling machine 1 and a lifting and tilting mechanism. A hopper 2 is installed on the top of the sausage filling machine 1, and the hopper 2 is connected to the sausage filling mechanism inside the sausage filling machine 1. The upper part of the hopper 2 is open. The lifting and tilting mechanism is located on one side of the sausage filling machine 1. The lifting and tilting mechanism includes a frame 4, which is vertically fixed on the ground. A clamping unit 9 that can move vertically and rotate around an axis is installed on the frame 4. The clamping unit 9 can be connected to a feeding trolley to lift and tilt the feeding trolley so that the filling on the feeding trolley is poured into the hopper 2. The clamping unit 9 is movably mounted on the frame 4 via a mounting base 6. A connecting arm 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base 6 near the sausage filling machine 1. The connecting arm 12 has an L-shaped structure, and the top of the connecting arm 12 is higher than the clamping unit 9. The top of the connecting arm 12 is fixedly connected to a... A horizontally arranged connecting rod connects to a cover 3, which is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 12. The cover 3 is located directly above the hopper 2. There is space between the cover 3 and the clamping unit 9 that allows the feeding trolley to rotate. The connecting arm 12 enables the cover 3 and the clamping unit 9 to move in tandem. Specifically, when the clamping unit 9 moves the feeding trolley upward, the connecting arm 12 moves the cover 3 upward simultaneously to remove the cover from the hopper 2. When the clamping unit 9 moves the feeding trolley downward, the connecting arm 12 moves the cover 3 downward simultaneously to cover the hopper 2, preventing the hopper 2 from being open for a long time and effectively preventing impurities from entering the sausage filling machine 1 and contaminating the filling. The linkage between the clamping unit 9 and the cover 3 eliminates the need for manual disassembly and assembly of the cover 3, effectively reducing labor intensity and ensuring work efficiency.
[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lifting and tilting mechanism includes a frame 4, a vertical drive unit, a mounting base 6, a guide column 7, a rotation drive assembly, a clamping unit 9, and a connecting arm 12. The frame 4 is vertically fixed on the ground and located on one side of the enema machine 1. The vertical drive unit is fixedly mounted on the frame 4. The mounting base 6 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the vertical drive unit. The vertical drive unit can drive the mounting base 6 to move vertically back and forth.
[0031] In this embodiment, the vertical drive unit is a vertically arranged electric telescopic cylinder 5. In other embodiments, the vertical drive unit can also be a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, a lead screw pair, or other structures. The specific choice can be made according to the actual design requirements, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0032] A buffer unit 14 is fixedly provided on the top of the support frame 4. The buffer unit 14 is located directly above the mounting base 6. In this embodiment, the buffer unit 14 is a buffer cylinder structure, which is used to buffer the mounting base 6 and prevent the mounting base 6 from colliding and being damaged by the support frame 4.
[0033] To ensure that the vertical movement of the mounting base 6 does not cause deflection, at least two guide columns 7 are welded and fixed on the upright frame 4. The guide columns 7 are vertically arranged, and the mounting base 6 is slidably connected to the guide columns 7 so as to guide the mounting base 6.
[0034] The clamping unit 9 has a U-shaped structure and contains two opposing clamping arms. The clamping unit 9 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 6 via a rotation drive assembly, and can rotate around an axis on the mounting base 6. In this embodiment, the rotation drive assembly includes a turntable 8 and a motor 13. A gear ring is fixedly provided on the turntable 8, and the motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 6. The output end of the motor 13 cooperates with the gear ring on the turntable 8 through a worm gear structure, so that the turntable 8 rotates around an axis under the drive of the motor 13. The turntable 8 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 6 via a rotating shaft, and the clamping unit 9 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 8. The turntable 8 can drive the clamping unit 9 to rotate around an axis to realize the flipping of the feeding trolley. The arrangement of the vertical drive unit, the rotation drive assembly, and the mounting base 6 ensures that the feeding trolley can be raised, lowered, and flipped, while improving the stability and accuracy of the raising, lowering, and flipping of the feeding trolley, and reducing the space occupied by the raising, lowering, and flipping of the feeding trolley.
[0035] To improve the adaptability of the clamping unit 9, the two clamping arms can be connected by a telescopic structure, such as an electric telescopic cylinder, which can adjust the distance between the two clamping arms as needed to adapt to feeding trolleys of different sizes and ensure clamping firmness.
[0036] It is understood that in other embodiments, the rotation drive assembly may also be that the turntable 8 is directly fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13, and the motor 13 directly drives the turntable 8 to rotate around the axis, or other electric drive rotation structures may be used. No specific restrictions are imposed here, as long as the clamping unit 9 can be driven to rotate around the axis.
[0037] An L-shaped connecting arm 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting base 6 near the sausage enema machine 1, and is fixedly connected to the cover 3 through the connecting arm 12. The connecting arm 12 and the cover 3 are connected by a connecting post, and the connecting post and the cover 3 are welded or threaded together.
[0038] A limiting groove 10 is welded and fixed to the inner side of each of the two clamping arms of the clamping unit 9. The limiting groove 10 has a U-shaped protrusion structure, and the opening side of the limiting groove 10 faces the entry position of the feeding trolley. A limiting plate is welded and fixed to the outer wall of the feeding trolley. When the feeding trolley enters between the two clamping arms of the clamping unit 9, the limiting plate can be inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 10 to realize the positioning and limiting of the feeding trolley. Figure 5As shown, a spring pin 11 is also movably installed on the clamping arm. The pin shaft of the spring pin 11 passes through the corresponding clamping arm laterally. The outer wall of the feeding trolley is provided with a corresponding insertion hole. The spring pin 11 can be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole to assist in the limiting of the feeding trolley and prevent the feeding trolley from shifting and slipping during lifting, turning and rotating.
[0039] A handle is fixed to the end of the spring pin 11, which allows the operator to easily pull the spring pin 11 laterally when transferring the feeding trolley, so as to manually and quickly release the limit on the feeding trolley.
[0040] In this embodiment, the cover 3 is made of stainless steel. To facilitate observation, an observation window is provided on the cover 3. In other embodiments, the cover 3 can also be made of transparent materials such as fiberglass, in which case there is no need to provide an observation window.
[0041] The sausage filling machine 1 is equipped with a control mechanism and indicator lights. The control mechanism is connected to the lifting and tilting mechanism and indicator lights. The control mechanism can automatically control the movement of the lifting and tilting mechanism according to the preset program, and can prompt the staff to work through the indicator lights.
[0042] It is understandable that both the lifting and flipping mechanism and the sausage filling machine 1 are equipped with several sensors. For example, the clamping unit 9 of the lifting and flipping mechanism is equipped with a laser sensor to determine whether the feeding trolley is installed in place. The sausage filling machine 1 is equipped with a filling position sensor to monitor the amount of filling. The specific sensor type, function and setting position can be set according to actual needs, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0043] The specific working principle is as follows:
[0044] The staff pushes the feeding trolley between the two clamping arms of the clamping unit 9, so that the limiting plate on the side wall of the feeding trolley is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 10, and the spring pin 11 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole to achieve a fixed connection between the feeding trolley and the clamping unit 9. After the feeding trolley is installed in place, the vertical drive unit drives the mounting base 6 to rise. The mounting base 6 drives the feeding trolley and the cover 3 to rise synchronously through the clamping unit 9 and the connecting arm 12. When the feeding trolley rises to the position, the rotating drive assembly drives the clamping unit 9 to rotate around the axis to flip the feeding trolley, so that the filling in the feeding trolley is poured into the hopper 2. The feeding trolley rotates and resets and moves towards the ground under the drive of the mounting base 6. At the same time, the cover 3 descends and latches onto the hopper 2 to cover the hopper 2. The staff manually pulls the spring pin 11 to remove the restriction on the feeding trolley and pushes the feeding trolley out to complete the filling.
[0045] 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.
