Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of blueberry packaging, and specifically relates to a blueberry packaging equipment and a quantitative weighing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Blueberry packaging equipment is a specialized automated machine for sorting, weighing, filling, and sealing blueberries. It is primarily used in the post-harvest commercial processing of blueberries to improve packaging efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure fruit quality. However, the lack of a quantitative conveying structure in packaging equipment leads to significant drawbacks. First, consistent packaging specifications are difficult to guarantee. Due to the lack of precise metering control, individual packages may exhibit weight fluctuations, such as actual filling exceeding or falling below the nominal value. This not only affects consumer trust but may also trigger trade disputes or market regulatory penalties. If manual intervention is required, operators need to frequently check or manually adjust the filling amount, resulting in a decrease in packaging speed. Therefore, we aim to design a blueberry packaging equipment and a quantitative weighing structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 As the first embodiment of this utility model:

[0026] A blueberry packaging device and a quantitative weighing structure, comprising: a workbench 1, a quantitative mechanism 2 provided at the upper end of the workbench 1, and a weighing mechanism 3 provided at the left end of the quantitative mechanism 2;

[0027] The quantitative mechanism 2 includes a support base 21, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 1. A material receiving tray 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support base 21, and a conveying pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the left end of the support base 21. A conveying auger 26 is installed inside the conveying pipe 23, and the right end of the conveying auger 26 is sleeved inside the support base 21 through a bearing. By setting up the quantitative mechanism 2, the equal amount of blueberries can be conveyed by the equidistant conveying augers 26, which can significantly improve the consistency of packaging, control the amount of blueberries conveyed, reduce the weighing adjustment time, and thus speed up the packaging.

[0028] The screw pitch of the conveying auger 26 is equal to its diameter, which is used for quantitative material conveying.

[0029] A mounting base 24 is fixedly connected to the right end of the support base 21. A conveyor motor 25 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 24. A conveyor auger 26 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the conveyor motor 25 via a coupling.

[0030] The conveyor auger 26 is made of a corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean food-grade stainless steel.

[0031] Specifically, the blueberries to be packaged are first placed inside the receiving tray 22. The blueberries enter the support base 21 through the lower outlet of the receiving tray 22. Then, the conveyor motor 25 is started. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 25 drives the conveyor auger 26 to rotate. During the rotation, the conveyor auger 26 pushes the blueberries to move. At the same time, the pitch and diameter of the conveyor auger 26 are equal, thereby reducing the difference in the amount of blueberries conveyed each time to achieve quantitative conveying. Finally, the blueberries are weighed by the weighing mechanism 3 and then packaged by an external packaging machine.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-2 As a second embodiment of this utility model:

[0033] The weighing mechanism 3 includes a connecting chamber 31 and a discharging chamber 33. The connecting chamber 31 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the left end of the conveying pipe 23. An upper right-angle connecting block 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting chamber 31. By setting the weighing mechanism 3, it is possible to ensure that the weight of each blueberry is accurate and up to standard, improve the standardization and consistency of packaging, and meet the requirements for dispensing accuracy.

[0034] A lower right-angle connecting block 34 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feeding bin 33, and a solenoid valve 37 for discharging is provided at the lower end of the feeding bin 33.

[0035] The lower end of the load cell 35 is fixedly connected to the lower right-angle connecting block 34, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the upper right-angle connecting block 32 via the mounting rod 36. The solenoid valve 37 is controlled to open and close by the signal from the load cell 35.

[0036] The feeding hopper 33 has a trapezoidal structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom to facilitate material discharge, and the inner wall is fitted with a silicone pad to cushion and reduce the impact of the blueberries.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the blueberries conveyed by the conveying auger 26 first fall into the interior of the feeding hopper 33. The buffer layer inside the feeding hopper 33 reduces the impact force generated when the blueberries fall, ensuring the integrity of the blueberries. Then, the weight of the blueberries is measured by stretching the output end of the weighing sensor 35, and the solenoid valve 37 is opened and closed by the signal of the weighing sensor 35. Finally, the amount of blueberries is adjusted according to the requirements.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
