Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream production technology, specifically to an intelligent quantitative filling device for ice cream production. Background Technology

[0002] The main steps in ice cream production are mixing raw materials, sterilization, homogenization, filling, and freezing. During ice cream filling, a filling machine is needed to deliver the ice cream (slushie) into the packaging cup.

[0003] A search of related technologies revealed a scheme for a filling equipment for ice cream production (announcement number CN222062443U). This scheme includes a pushing component. The packaging box to be filled with ice cream is placed on a first placement block. The motor is started, controlling the rotation of a second crossbar. This causes the first crossbar, connected to the second crossbar by a belt, to also rotate. The first crossbar pushes the packaging box from the first placement block to the second placement block. At this point, levers one and two rotate to below the placement plate, and ice cream is injected into the packaging box through a filling tube. After the ice cream injection is complete, the motor is started again, causing the motor to control lever two to rotate and push the packaged box, now filled with ice cream, onto a third placement block, thus achieving automatic feeding and unloading of ice cream packaging boxes.

[0004] However, in the above scheme, after the ice cream is poured into the packaging box, it needs to be transferred to the next step of sealing. It cannot be sealed immediately, as impurities in the air may fall into the packaging box, increasing the probability of foreign matter mixing in and affecting the hygiene of the ice cream. The packaging boxes are all transported to the placement block one first. The manual placement of the packaging boxes is inefficient and requires staff supervision, making it inconvenient to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent quantitative filling device for ice cream production, including a support frame, a cup holder mounted on the support frame, a first limiting rod group on the surface of the cup holder, several cups placed between the first limiting rod group to maintain the vertical state of several cups, so that the suction device can stably extract the bottom cup, and the cup is stably removed.

[0007] A cup lid holder is mounted on a bracket. The surface of the cup lid holder is provided with a second limiting rod group. Several cup lids are limited by the second limiting rod group to ensure that the suction device can stably pick up the bottommost cup lid.

[0008] The placement board is connected inside the bracket. The surface of the placement board is provided with cup picking holes. A first cylinder is installed on the lower surface of the placement board. The first cylinder is connected to a suction component through a first adapter plate. The first cylinder automatically sends the cup to the placement board and automatically places the cup.

[0009] The assembly base is connected to the cup lid base. The assembly base is connected to a second cylinder. The second cylinder is connected to a pneumatic motor through a second adapter plate. The pneumatic motor is also connected to a suction component. The pneumatic motor drives the cup lid to flip, ensuring that the cup lid is stably placed on the cup body.

[0010] A feeder is connected inside the support frame. The feeder pushes the cup body towards the filling machine. The filling machine is installed on the support frame and delivers slush and soft ice into the cup body.

[0011] Furthermore, the first limiting rod assembly is equipped with a dust cover. The dust cover is placed at the opening of the cup body, and the uppermost cup body is covered by the dust cover, which can prevent dust and other impurities from falling into the cup body and ensure the hygiene of the slush ice.

[0012] Furthermore, the suction device includes an assembly rod with three suction cups installed on it, allowing for the simultaneous removal of three cup bodies and lids, resulting in higher efficiency in filling slush and soft ice.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent quantitative filling device for ice cream production, including a support 1, a cup holder 4 installed on the support 1, and a first limiting rod group 5 provided on the surface of the cup holder 4. The first limiting rod group 5 can hold three stacks of cups, and can hold a large number of cups at a time, eliminating the need for frequent manual placement of cups.

[0026] The cup lid holder 2 is mounted on the bracket 1. The surface of the cup lid holder 2 is provided with a second limiting rod group 3. The second limiting rod group 3 can hold three stacks of cup lids and can simultaneously seal three cups. Distance detection radar can be installed on the first limiting rod group 5 and the second limiting rod group 3 as needed. As the number of cups and cup lids decreases, the radar can detect how many cups and cup lids are left.

[0027] The placement plate 12 is connected inside the bracket 1. The surface of the placement plate 12 is provided with a cup-taking hole 13, the size of which is smaller than the cup body. A first cylinder 22 is installed on the lower surface of the placement plate 12. The first cylinder 22 is connected to a suction component through a first adapter plate 11. The first cylinder 22 controls the suction component to pass through the cup-taking hole 13, suck up the cup body, and place the cup body on the placement plate 12.

[0028] Assembly base 16 is connected to cup lid base 2. The assembly base 16 is connected to a second cylinder 17. The second cylinder 17 is connected to a pneumatic motor 19 through a second adapter plate 18. The assembly base 16 can be equipped with a slide rail. The second adapter plate 18 can be equipped with a slider that slides with the slide rail to improve the stability of the pneumatic motor 19 in raising and lowering. The pneumatic motor 19 is also connected to a suction component. The pneumatic motor 19 controls the suction component and the cup lid to rotate, which can make the cup lid flip over so that the cup lid can cover the cup body.

[0029] A feeder is connected inside the bracket 1. The feeder pushes the cup body toward the filling machine and the cup lid. The filling machine is installed on the bracket 1. The filling machine extracts slush and soft ice and injects it into the cup body.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first limiting rod group 5 is provided with a dust cover 20 inside. The dust cover 20 is placed at the opening of the cup body. Alternatively, the dust cover 20 can be set in the first limiting rod group 5 to cover the uppermost cup body and cup lid, preventing impurities from falling onto the cup body and cup lid.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the suction device includes an assembly rod 14, on which three suction cups 15 are mounted. The assembly rod 14 drives the three suction cups 15 to move synchronously, and the suction cups 15 can stably hold the cup body and the cup lid, ensuring that the cup body and the cup lid can be picked up stably.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeder includes a pulley 6 and a belt 7 connected to the pulley 6. Several push plates 8 are installed on the belt 7. A motor connected to the pulley 6 is installed inside the bracket 1. The pulley 6 drives the belt 7 to move. The belt 7 controls the push plates 8 to move above the placement plate 12, which can send the cups on the placement plate 12 to the bottom of the plunger pump 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the push plate 8 has a positioning port 21 on its surface that corresponds to the cup body. The positioning port 21 can position the cup body and ensure that the cup body moves in a straight line during the movement of the cup body.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the filling machine includes a mounting frame 9, on which three plunger pumps 10 are connected. The plunger pumps 10 quantitatively extract slush and soft ice and send it into the cup. The plunger pumps 10 are connected to a storage cylinder, on which a level gauge can be installed to detect the remaining amount of slush and soft ice.

[0035] Specifically, when using it, place the three stacks of cup bodies and the three stacks of cup lids into the first limiting rod group 5 and the second limiting rod group 3;

[0036] The first cylinder 22 drives the suction cup 15 to move upward through the first adapter plate 11 and the assembly rod 14. The suction cup 15 passes through the cup-taking hole 13 and sucks up the bottom cup. When the first cylinder 22 controls the cup to move down and fall onto the placement plate 12, the suction cup 15 loses its suction force. At this time, the three cups are placed on the placement plate 12.

[0037] The pulley 6 controls the movement of the push plate 8 via the belt 7. The push plate 8 pushes the three cups to move below the plunger pump 10 through the positioning port 21 and stops moving. The plunger pump 10 sends the slush ice into the cups.

[0038] The pulley 6 controls the cup containing slush ice to move under the lid. The second cylinder 17 controls the suction cup 15 to move up and hold the lid. During the descent of the lid, the pneumatic motor 19 controls the lid to flip over and cover the cup. The pulley 6 controls the lidded cup to continue moving. A conveyor belt can be placed at the end of the placement plate 12 to move the cup to a process.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
