Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ice cream stick technology, specifically relating to an automatic ice cream stick feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Many ice cream stick feeding mechanisms on the market have significant flaws. These mechanisms can only simply transport the ice cream sticks to the designated position without effectively adjusting their posture. In actual production, the ice cream sticks may end up in various messy positions during transport, making subsequent collection and handling extremely inconvenient. Moreover, existing mechanisms lack the function of detecting ice cream sticks, making it impossible to detect defective or abnormally placed ice cream sticks in a timely manner. Once problematic ice cream sticks enter the subsequent production stages, it may lead to ice cream quality issues, such as improper insertion positions affecting the consumer's eating experience, and in severe cases, it may even pose food safety hazards.
[0003] Therefore, for the existing ice cream stick feeding mechanism, which cannot adjust and detect the posture of the ice cream sticks, resulting in inconvenience in feeding, collecting, and grabbing ice cream sticks, an automatic ice cream stick feeding device can be designed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the problem that existing ice cream stick feeding mechanisms cannot adjust or detect the posture of ice cream sticks, resulting in inconvenience in feeding, collecting, and grabbing ice cream sticks.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic ice cream stick feeding device, including an ice cream stick detection box assembly and a vibrating feeding assembly; the vibrating feeding assembly is provided on one side of the ice cream stick detection box assembly; the ice cream stick detection box assembly includes a conveyor, a conveyor belt, an ice cream stick posture lever, and an ice cream stick vision inspection machine; the vibrating feeding assembly includes a vibrating feeding machine, a flipping plate, and a servo motor.
[0006] Preferably, the ice cream sticks fed into the machine are vibrated, screened, and arranged by a vibrating feeder. When the ice cream sticks are transported to the flipping plate, the servo motor drives the flipping plate to rotate, causing the ice cream sticks to slide down the flipping plate onto the conveyor belt for transport. The conveyor belt rotates, moving the ice cream sticks above it toward the ice cream stick vision inspection machine. At the same time, the ice cream stick posture lever blocks one end of the ice cream stick, allowing it to adjust its posture during movement. This achieves the ice cream stick alignment posture adjustment function, solving the problem of inconvenient ice cream stick feeding, collection, and gripping caused by the inability of existing ice cream stick feeding mechanisms to adjust and inspect the posture of the ice cream sticks.
[0007] Preferably, a conveyor belt is provided at the upper end of the conveyor, and the conveyor drives the conveyor belt to rotate.
[0008] Preferably, an ice cream stick attitude lever is provided above the conveyor belt, and the ice cream stick attitude lever is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the conveyor.
[0009] Preferably, an ice cream stick vision inspection machine is installed above the ice cream stick posture lever, and the ice cream stick vision inspection machine performs visual inspection on the ice cream sticks on the conveyor belt.
[0010] Preferably, a vibratory feeder is installed in front of the popsicle stick posture lever; a servo motor is installed below the output end of the vibratory feeder, and the housing of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the base of the vibratory feeder.
[0011] Preferably, a flip plate is provided at the upper end of the servo motor, and the flip plate is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor.
[0012] Preferably, the flip plate is positioned above one end of the conveyor belt.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] Existing ice cream stick feeding mechanisms suffer from inconvenience in ice cream stick loading, collection, and handling because they cannot adjust or detect the posture of the ice cream sticks. A vibrating feeder is used to vibrate, screen, and arrange the ice cream sticks fed into the feeder. When the ice cream sticks reach the flipping plate, a servo motor drives the flipping plate to rotate, causing the ice cream sticks to slide down onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt then rotates, moving the ice cream sticks above it towards an ice cream stick vision inspection machine. Simultaneously, an ice cream stick posture lever blocks one end of the ice cream stick, allowing it to adjust its posture during movement, thus achieving ice cream stick alignment and posture adjustment. This solves the problem of inconvenience in ice cream stick loading, collection, and handling caused by the inability to adjust and detect the posture of the ice cream sticks in existing feeding mechanisms.
[0015] By setting up an ice cream stick visual inspection machine, the machine is used to detect whether the shape of the ice cream sticks meets the standards, thereby effectively improving the yield rate of ice cream stick production and processing. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of an automatic ice cream stick feeding device, including an ice cream stick detection box assembly 1 and a vibrating feeding assembly 2; the vibrating feeding assembly 2 is provided on one side of the ice cream stick detection box assembly 1; the ice cream stick detection box assembly 1 includes a conveyor 101, a conveyor belt 102, an ice cream stick posture lever 103, and an ice cream stick vision inspection machine 104; the vibrating feeding assembly 2 includes a vibrating feeding machine 201, a flipping plate 202, and a servo motor 203.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a conveyor belt 102 is provided at the upper end of the conveyor 101, and the conveyor 101 drives the conveyor belt 102 to rotate. An ice cream stick posture lever 103 is provided above the conveyor belt 102, and the ice cream stick posture lever 103 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the conveyor 101. An ice cream stick vision inspection machine 104 is provided above the ice cream stick posture lever 103, and the ice cream stick vision inspection machine 104 performs visual inspection on the ice cream sticks on the conveyor belt 102. A vibrating feeder 201 is provided in front of the ice cream stick posture lever 103. A servo motor 203 is provided below the output end of the vibrating feeder 201, and the outer shell of the servo motor 203 is fixedly connected to the base of the vibrating feeder 201. A tilting plate 202 is provided above the servo motor 203, and the tilting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 203. The tilting plate 202 is located above one end of the conveyor belt 102.
[0024] During operation, the vibrating feeder 201 vibrates and sorts the ice cream sticks placed inside, then arranges and conveys them. When the ice cream sticks are transported to the flipping plate 202, the servo motor 203 drives the flipping plate 202 to rotate, causing the ice cream sticks to slide down the flipping plate 202 onto the conveyor belt 102 for transport. The conveyor 101 drives the conveyor belt 102 to rotate, moving the ice cream sticks above it toward the ice cream stick vision inspection machine 104. At the same time, the ice cream stick posture lever 103 blocks one end of the ice cream stick, allowing it to adjust its posture during movement, thus realizing the ice cream stick alignment posture adjustment function. This solves the problem of inconvenient ice cream stick feeding, collection, and gripping caused by the existing ice cream stick feeding mechanism's inability to adjust and detect the posture of the ice cream sticks.
[0025] Next, the ice cream stick visual inspection machine 104 is used to detect whether the shape of the ice cream stick meets the standard, thereby effectively improving the yield rate of ice cream stick production and processing.
[0026] Through the above steps, the ice cream sticks placed inside the vibrating feeder 201 are vibrated, screened, and arranged for conveying. When the ice cream sticks are transported to the flip plate 202, the servo motor 203 drives the flip plate 202 to rotate, causing the ice cream sticks to slide down the flip plate 202 onto the conveyor belt 102 for transport. The conveyor 101 drives the conveyor belt 102 to rotate, causing the ice cream sticks above it to move towards the ice cream stick vision inspection machine 104. At the same time, due to the obstruction of one end of the ice cream stick by the ice cream stick posture lever 103, the posture is adjusted during the movement, thereby realizing the ice cream stick alignment posture adjustment function. This avoids the problem of inconvenience in ice cream stick feeding, collection, and gripping caused by the existing ice cream stick feeding mechanism, which cannot adjust and detect the posture of the ice cream sticks.
[0027] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
