Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sorting technology, specifically to an automatic food sorting, weighing and distributing device. Background Technology

[0002] Automated food sorting, weighing, and distribution is an automation-based system designed to accurately measure, classify, and distribute food ingredients to improve production efficiency and reduce human error. This system integrates weighing sensors and intelligent algorithms to detect food ingredient weight in real time and automatically allocate materials to designated categories or output paths. The core workflow includes feeding, weighing, sorting, and output stages. Automated food sorting, weighing, and distribution utilizes automated equipment to detect the weight of food ingredients, classify them, and allocate them to different processing flows. It is primarily used in distribution centers and processing enterprises to improve sorting efficiency and reduce losses.

[0003] For example, patent number (CN219965645U) discloses an automatic food sorting, weighing, and distributing device, including two structural plates. One side of each structural plate is rotatably connected to an active drive roller and a passive drive roller. The active and passive drive rollers are rotatably connected to a conveyor belt. The advantages of this invention are: food is placed on the conveyor belt, a rotating motor drives the conveyor belt, and the food moves to one end of the structural plate. It then falls onto the smart electronic scale via a buffer guide plate. According to the settings, one of the two electric push rods is controlled to extend and retract, pushing the food on the smart electronic scale into the collection box. A rectangular plate and a baffle prevent the food from being pushed out of the smart electronic scale and damaged. Through the rotation of the motor and the electric push rod, combined with the smart electronic scale and data controller, the automated operation of the equipment is very convenient. While ensuring efficiency, both efficiency and quality are also significantly improved.

[0004] However, in actual use, the collection frame structure of the automatic food sorting, weighing and distributing device has certain limitations. When the collection frame is set too deep, the food is prone to slipping and causing wear during the collection process, which affects the quality of the food. When the collection frame is set too shallow, the collection capacity is reduced, and the frequency of cleaning the collection frame needs to be increased, which affects the convenience of use. Based on this, an automatic food sorting, weighing and distributing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic food sorting, weighing, and distributing device. It has the advantages of timely monitoring and automatic adjustment of the collection frame, and solves the problems that when the collection frame is set too deep, the food is prone to slipping and causing wear during the collection process, affecting the quality of the food. When the collection frame is set too shallow, the collection capacity is reduced, requiring more frequent cleaning of the collection frame, which affects the convenience of use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic food sorting, weighing, and distributing device, including a sorting table, an intelligent electronic scale fixedly installed on the upper end of the sorting table, collection frames provided on both the left and right sides of the sorting table, mounting plates fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the collection frames, an electric telescopic rod fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting plates, a lifting collection plate fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod extending to the inner side of the collection frame, a connecting frame plate fixedly installed on the upper end of the electric telescopic rod, an information processing module fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting frame plate, a detection camera fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting frame plate, a support frame fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the sorting table, an electric displacement component fixedly installed at the lower end of the support frame, a connecting rod provided at the output end of the electric displacement component, sorting push plates fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the connecting rod, an L-shaped bracket fixedly installed on the sorting push plate, and a cleaning brush fixedly installed at the lower end of the L-shaped bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, a conveyor platform is installed at the rear of the smart electronic scale, and a buffer guide plate is installed between the conveyor platform and the smart electronic scale.

[0008] Furthermore, the electric telescopic rod is used to drive the lifting collection plate to move up and down, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod is slidably connected to the mounting support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the electrical connection between the camera and the information processing module was detected, as well as the electrical connection between the electric telescopic pole and the information processing module.

[0010] Furthermore, the electric displacement assembly includes a mounting housing, inside which a drive motor is fixedly mounted, and at the output end of the drive motor a threaded rod is fixedly mounted. A movable block is provided on the surface of the threaded rod, and a connector is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the movable block.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive motor is used to drive the threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the mounting housing. The surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the moving block. The moving block is slidably connected to the mounting housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector is slidably connected to the mounting housing, and the lower end of the connector extends to the outside of the mounting housing and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This automatic food sorting, weighing, and distributing device controls the depth of the collection box by adjusting the lifting collection plate. Combined with a vision detection mechanism, it further realizes the automatic intelligent adjustment function of the collection box depth. The gradually deepening collection structure can not only meet the collection capacity and avoid frequent cleaning of the collection box, but also ensure that the distance of food falling is moderate, so as not to cause wear and tear on the food and affect its quality. The electric displacement component can coordinate to control the sorting push plates on both sides, and can also be used with a cleaning brush to clean the surface of the smart electronic scale during the sorting process, so as to prevent food from falling and affecting subsequent sorting and weighing operations.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5The automatic food sorting, weighing and distributing device in this embodiment includes a sorting table 1. A smart electronic scale 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the sorting table 1. Collection frames 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the sorting table 1. Mounting support plates 4 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the collection frames 3. An electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting support plate 4. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 5 extends to the inner side of the collection frame 3 and a lifting collection plate 6 is fixedly installed. A connecting frame plate 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the electric telescopic rod 5. An information processing module 8 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting frame plate 7. A detection camera 9 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the connecting frame plate 7. A support frame 10 is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the sorting table 1. An electric displacement component is fixedly installed on the lower end of the support frame 10. A connecting rod 11 is provided on the output end of the electric displacement component. Sorting push plates 12 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the connecting rod 11. An L-shaped bracket 20 is fixedly installed on the sorting push plate 12. A cleaning brush 21 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the L-shaped bracket 20.

[0023] In this embodiment, the depth of the collection frame 3 is controlled by adjusting the lifting collection plate 6. In conjunction with the vision detection mechanism, the automatic intelligent adjustment function of the depth of the collection frame 3 is further realized, so that the collection structure can continuously deepen and expand its capacity as the amount of food collected increases. Combined with the height of the food itself, the gradually deepening collection structure can not only meet the collection capacity and avoid frequent cleaning of the collection frame 3, but also ensure that the distance of the food falling is moderate, so as not to cause wear and tear on the food and affect the quality of the food.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, a conveyor platform 13 is provided on the rear side of the intelligent electronic scale 2, and a buffer guide plate 14 is provided between the conveyor platform 13 and the intelligent electronic scale 2. The electric telescopic rod 5 is used to drive the lifting collection plate 6 to move up and down. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is slidably connected to the mounting support plate 4. The detection camera 9 is electrically connected to the information processing module 8, and the electric telescopic rod 5 is electrically connected to the information processing module 8.

[0025] It should be noted that the ingredients can be placed on the conveyor 13. The motor structure drives the conveyor belt to move the ingredients to one end of the structural plate, and then fall onto the smart electronic scale 2 through the buffer guide plate 14. The smart electronic scale 2 transmits the weight data to the data controller. The data controller analyzes whether the weight of the ingredients is higher or lower than the set value. The drive structure can work in conjunction with the smart electronic scale and the data controller to realize the automated operation of the equipment. They work together according to the set program. The detection camera 9 can detect the accumulation of ingredients inside the collection box 3 and transmit the image data to the information processing module 8. The information processing module 8 can control the electric telescopic rod 5 (the electric telescopic rod 5 can be set as a drive component with similar functions. Each set of electric telescopic rods 5 is controlled by the processing module and works synchronously) according to the image data to adjust the lifting collection plate 6. This allows the lifting collection plate 6 to be adjusted downward according to the height of the ingredients to accommodate more ingredients (the position of the lifting collection plate 6 can be adjusted from high to low. A flexible pad can also be set on the lifting collection plate 6. The collection box 3 is equipped with a door panel structure for easy opening and removal of ingredients later).

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the electric displacement assembly includes a mounting housing 15. A drive motor 16 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting housing 15. A threaded rod 17 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the drive motor 16. A movable block 18 is provided on the surface of the threaded rod 17. A connector 19 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the movable block 18. The drive motor 16 is used to drive the threaded rod 17 to rotate. The threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected to the mounting housing 15. The surface of the threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the movable block 18. The movable block 18 is slidably connected to the mounting housing 15. The connector 19 is slidably connected to the mounting housing 15. The lower end of the connector 19 extends to the outside of the mounting housing 15 and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 11.

[0027] It should be noted that the conveyor 13 and buffer guide plate 14 can convey the food to the smart electronic scale 2 for weighing. In conjunction with the equipment receiving data, they can coordinate the operation of various driving components (to facilitate the orderly operation of each component. The conveyor 13 and buffer guide plate 14 will only start feeding again after the sorting structure has been reset). The drive motor 16 can drive the threaded rod 17 to rotate (the drive motor 16 can be set as a driving component with similar functions). The moving block 18 and the connecting piece 19 can drive the connecting rod 11 and the sorting push plate 12 to move, pushing the food into the corresponding collection box 3. At the same time, the cleaning brush 21 moves synchronously to clean the smart electronic scale 2.

[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0029] In use, the food is conveyed to the smart electronic scale 2 via the conveyor 13 and buffer guide plate 14 for weighing. The device receives data and coordinates the operation of various driving components. The drive motor 16 drives the threaded rod 17 to rotate, which causes the moving block 18 and the connecting part 19 to move the connecting rod 11 and the sorting push plate 12, pushing the food into the corresponding collection box 3. At the same time, the cleaning brush 21 moves synchronously to clean the smart electronic scale 2. During the sorting process, the detection camera 9 detects the accumulation of food inside the collection box 3 and transmits the image data to the information processing module 8. The information processing module 8 can then control the electric telescopic rod 5 based on the image data to adjust the lifting collection plate 6. This allows the lifting collection plate 6 to be adjusted downwards according to the height of the food accumulation, accommodating more food.

[0030] It should be noted that the control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Therefore, this utility model will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.
