AI Technical Summary
Existing lollipop packaging machines have a problem of misdetecting the stick body instead of the fruit stick, which affects the normal operation of subsequent packaging processes.
A lollipop steering mechanism was designed. By installing steering guides and steering stops on the conveyor, the arc-shaped surface structure of the steering stops is used to tilt the candy part of the lollipop closer to the photoelectric detection device, thus ensuring the accuracy of photoelectric detection.
This improves the accuracy of photoelectric detection, avoids false detections, and ensures the stable operation of subsequent packaging machines.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a lollipop steering mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, photoelectric detection devices are installed during the lollipop packaging process to detect the fructose portion of the lollipop, ensuring the smooth operation of the packaging process. However, existing lollipop packaging machines are prone to misdetection, sometimes detecting the lollipop stick itself instead of the fruit portion, thus affecting subsequent packaging steps. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a lollipop turning mechanism. During the detection process, the photoelectric detection device turns the lollipop, enabling accurate detection of the fruit stick portion.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a lollipop steering mechanism, characterized in that it includes a conveyor for conveying lollipops and a base for assembling the conveyor. A steering guide is installed on one side of the conveyor on the base. The steering guide has a steering baffle that protrudes outward and extends into the conveyor. The steering baffle has a contact steering surface for the fructose part of the lollipop to contact. A limiting platform is provided on the other side of the base.
[0005] In the aforementioned lollipop steering mechanism, the steering stop is a raised structure with an arc surface.
[0006] Compared with existing technologies, this lollipop steering mechanism has the advantages of avoiding photoelectric malfunction detection, improving detection accuracy, and ensuring stable operation of subsequent packaging machines. Attached Figure Description
[0007] Figure 1 This is a 3D diagram of the lollipop's steering mechanism.
[0008] In the diagram, 1 is the conveyor; 2 is the machine base; 3 is the steering guide bar; 4 is the steering stop; 5 is the contact steering surface; and 6 is the limit station. Detailed Implementation
[0009] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0010] like Figure 1As shown, this lollipop turning mechanism includes a conveyor 1 for transporting lollipops and a base 2 for assembling the conveyor 1. A turning guide 3 is installed on one side of the conveyor 1 on the base 2. The turning guide 3 has a turning baffle 4 that protrudes outward into the conveyor 1. The turning baffle 4 has a contact turning surface 5 for the fructose part of the lollipop to contact. A limiting platform 6 is located on the other side of the base 2. The lollipop is conveyed by the conveyor 1. When the lollipop contacts the contact turning surface 5, it encounters a resistance. Under the action of this force, the lollipop is turned. Under the action of the limiting platform 6, the lollipop maintains this directional state and continues to be transported. The photoelectric detection device is located in the subsequent station near the fructose part. Because the fructose tilts after turning, the fructose position will be closer to the photoelectric detection device. The photoelectric detection device can accurately detect the lollipop part.
[0011] To elaborate further, the steering gantry 4 is a raised structure with an arc surface, ensuring smooth and stable steering.
[0012] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0013] Although this document frequently uses terms such as conveyor 1, base 2, steering guide 3, steering stop 4, contact steering surface 5, and limiting platform 6, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any kind of additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
