Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production and packaging technology, specifically to an automatic weighing and printing integrated fresh produce conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing downward pressure on my country's economy in recent years and the rise in the prices of bulk raw materials, factories have faced higher manufacturing costs, further reduced profit margins, and a year-on-year decline in corporate profits, resulting in a decrease in corporate competitiveness. There is an urgent need to strengthen cost control, further refine the management of raw materials in the product processing process, and improve the reduction of waste in workshop production and product defect rates. Therefore, an automatic weighing and printing integrated fresh food conveying line is proposed.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN207389664U discloses an automatic weighing line for fresh produce, including a telescopic belt conveyor, an automatic weighing device, an automatic coding device, an automatic printing and labeling device, a storage device, and a WCS information system. The automatic weighing device, automatic coding device, automatic printing and labeling device, and storage device are sequentially arranged at the extension end of the telescopic belt conveyor and are on the same horizontal plane as the conveyor. The telescopic belt conveyor, automatic weighing device, automatic coding device, automatic printing and labeling device, and storage device are connected to the WCS information system. This utility model uses a telescopic belt conveyor to transport fresh produce from the vehicle compartment. The automatic weighing device, automatic coding device, automatic printing and labeling device, and storage device, sequentially arranged at the extension end of the telescopic belt conveyor, complete the automatic weighing, automatic coding, printing and labeling, and storage operations in sequence, saving manpower and improving labor efficiency.

[0004] Based on the search of the aforementioned patents and the findings of existing equipment, the original fresh produce weighing process in the workshop involved separate weighing and control card printing. Control cards were printed with the required weight first, while actual material preparation took place in the workshop. After preparation, the control cards were affixed to the surface of the prepared materials. This production process resulted in discrepancies between the actual control card printing weight and time and the actual weight and preparation time, affecting product taste and consumer experience. These issues also impacted the use of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated automatic weighing and printing fresh produce conveyor line. This effectively prevents the problems associated with the previous production process where weighing and control card printing were performed separately in the workshop. In this process, control cards were printed with the required weight first, while actual material preparation took place in the workshop. After preparation, the control cards were affixed to the prepared materials. This process resulted in discrepancies between the actual weight and time of the control card printing and the actual weight and preparation time, negatively impacting product taste and consumer experience. This new model solves these technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated automatic weighing and printing fresh produce conveyor line, comprising an automatic conveying component, wherein a weighing structure component is connected and installed on the upper right side of the automatic conveying component, which weighs the fresh produce at the upper end of the conveyor belt through a weighing sensor, so that the weighing result can be transmitted to the printing structure component for real-time printing via a data interface through a PLC controller; and a printing structure component is connected and installed at the front end of the weighing structure component, which transmits the result to an information input module via a data interface, so that the control card can be printed in real-time via a printer, ensuring that the actual time of fresh produce and the printing time of the control card are the same.

[0009] A weighing control system is installed on the upper end of the weighing structure component. A display screen is connected to the upper end of the weighing control system. A signal amplifier is connected to the rear of the upper end of the display screen. A signal receiver is connected to the right side of the signal amplifier. A PLC controller is connected to the front end of the signal receiver. The PLC controller is connected to the front end of the signal receiver and is connected to a data interface to facilitate the subsequent transmission of weighing data to the printing structure component.

[0010] An information input module is installed at the upper end of the printed structure component, and an image processing module is connected to the front end of the information input module. A data interface is connected to the front end of the image processing module, and a storage module is connected to the front end of the data interface. The storage module is connected to the front end of the data interface to facilitate the subsequent storage of transmitted signal data and prevent subsequent information loss.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the automatic conveying component is connected to and installed with a mounting frame, and the upper end of the mounting frame is connected to and installed with a structural plate. The inner side of the structural plate is connected to and installed with a conveyor belt, and the lower end of the conveyor belt is connected to and installed with a weighing sensor. The weighing sensor converts the measured weight data into a digital signal through electronic signals.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a device platform is installed on the upper end of the weighing structure component. The device platform places the upper structure on the upper end of the structural plate, which facilitates the subsequent reception of data from the weighing sensor.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a printer is installed at the upper end of the printing structure component, and a placement port is installed at the upper end of the printer. The placement port is fixedly installed inside the printer, and the control card is placed through the placement port to facilitate the subsequent printing of the upper information.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a weighing structure component is installed at the upper end of the conveyor belt in the automatic conveying assembly, and a printing structure component is connected and installed at the front end of the PLC controller of the weighing structure component.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the weighing sensor is connected to a signal receiver, and the upper left and right sides of the structural plate are arc-shaped structures.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the device platform is connected and installed on the upper end of the structural plate, and a connection hole is fixedly installed on the upper end of the device platform.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the printer is connected and installed at the upper end of the device platform, the information input module is connected and installed at the lower end of the printer's interior, and the data interface is connected and used with the PLC controller.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated automatic weighing and printing fresh produce conveyor line with the following advantages:

[0019] 1. This utility model, through the design of the overall device, comprises an automatic weighing system consisting of a weighing sensor and a display screen. The display screen displays the names of the required items. Materials are prepared strictly according to the specified weight for each item, and adjustments are made manually to achieve the desired weight error range. When the weighed weight falls within the required error range, the system automatically displays the real-time weight, which is the final printed weight. When external weights change, this weight changes randomly. If the weight exceeds the specified range, printing will not proceed. The weighing result is transmitted to the printer's input module via a data interface. In this module, the weighing and printing time is synchronized with the display time and accurate to 0.1 seconds. While ensuring the weight, the shelf life of fresh produce is also accurate to 0.1 seconds, further ensuring the timeliness of fresh produce and guaranteeing the taste of the seasoning packets. This effectively prevents the problems that previously existed in the workshop where weighing and control card printing were performed separately. Control cards were printed with the required weight first, and the actual material preparation was carried out in the workshop. After the material preparation was completed, the control card was affixed to the surface of the prepared material. This production process would have resulted in a discrepancy between the actual weight and time printed on the control card and the actual weight and preparation time, affecting the product taste and consumer experience.
