Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hot pot base packaging equipment, and more specifically, to a spacing device for a packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] Hot pot base is a seasoning used to make the broth for hot pot, and it determines the basic flavor and texture of the hot pot. Block-shaped hot pot base is usually vacuum-packed for easy storage and transportation. To use, simply place the base block in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water or other broth, and bring to a boil. The small block packaging makes it easier to control the amount used each time, and each block is individually packaged, making it convenient to carry and easy to store, suitable for family use.

[0003] When placing the small pieces of hot pot base into the packaging box, a suction cup assembly is needed to lift the hot pot base and move it to the top of the packaging box. Because the spacing between two adjacent pieces of hot pot base is inconsistent with the spacing between two adjacent suction cups on the suction cup assembly when each column of small pieces of hot pot base is conveyed to the bottom of the suction cup assembly, the staff needs to manually move the small pieces of hot pot base each time the suction cup assembly is used to make the spacing between the small pieces of hot pot base consistent with the spacing between two adjacent suction cups. The operation process is cumbersome and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spacing device for a packaging machine, which can automatically adjust the spacing between each row of small pieces of hot pot base to match the spacing of the suction cups, thereby facilitating and quickly completing the spacing process of small pieces of hot pot base and improving work efficiency.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a spacing device for a packaging machine, including a base frame, on which multiple partition plates are distributed along their own width direction. The length direction of the partition plates is consistent with the length direction of the base frame and extends to the outside of the base frame. A channel for the feeding box to pass through is formed between two adjacent partition plates. A base plate is provided on the outside of the base frame. One end of each of the partition plates outside the base frame is placed on the base plate. A spacing mechanism is provided on the base frame and in each channel. A drive mechanism for driving the spacing mechanism to move is provided on one side of the bottom of the base frame.

[0006] The spacing mechanism includes multiple sets of clamping assemblies connected in sequence. Each clamping assembly includes a support shaft and clamping arms hinged on both sides of the support shaft. The clamping arms of two adjacent sets of clamping assemblies that are close to each other are hinged to each other through a first connecting shaft.

[0007] The driving mechanism includes multiple driving rods, which are slidably arranged in the channel in a one-to-one correspondence. Each driving rod is provided with a driving seat for driving the clamping arms of multiple clamping components to close simultaneously.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the clamping arms is provided with an intermediate shaft in the middle, and the drive seat has multiple inclined grooves distributed along its own length direction for the intermediate shaft to pass through. The inclined grooves can drive the intermediate shaft to move upward so that the two clamping arms of the multiple clamping assemblies come together in a direction closer to each other.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the bottom of the drive seat are provided with protrusions, and the protrusions are provided with horizontal grooves for defining the position of the support shaft. The support shafts of the clamping assemblies located at both ends are slidably disposed in the horizontal grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, auxiliary arms are rotatably mounted on both intermediate shafts of the same set of clamping components, and the top ends of the two auxiliary arms are hinged to each other via a second connecting shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, a third connecting shaft is provided on the clamping arms located at the edge positions of the clamping assemblies at both ends, and rotating rollers are rotatably provided on the first connecting shaft, the second connecting shaft, and the third connecting shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the sides of the adjacent clamping arms and auxiliary arms that are close to each other are provided with symmetrical arc-shaped surfaces.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive mechanism also includes a mounting plate, on which a drive cylinder is mounted. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the drive cylinder, and multiple drive rods are distributed on the mounting base along the length of the mounting base.

[0014] Furthermore, the width of the spacing mechanism is smaller than the width of the channel, and each group of the spacing mechanism is located at the center position in the width direction of the channel.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention limits the spacing between adjacent rows of small hot pot base pieces by using a channel formed between two adjacent partition plates. By setting a spacing mechanism, the spacing between each row of small hot pot base pieces is matched with the spacing between the suction cups on the suction cup assembly. This ensures that when the suction cup assembly is adsorbing, the position of multiple suction cups corresponds one-to-one with the position of multiple small hot pot base pieces, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adsorption position.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] The following is for reference Figures 1-5 As shown in the illustration, and further explained with reference to specific embodiments, this embodiment provides a spacing device for a packaging machine. Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the device includes a base frame 1, a top frame 5 mounted on the upper part of the base frame 1, a suction cup assembly 6 for sucking up small pieces of hot pot base on the top frame 5, multiple partition plates 2 distributed along the width of the base frame 1, the length direction of the partition plates 2 being consistent with the length direction of the base frame 1 and extending to the outside of the base frame 1, and a channel 21 for the feeding box to pass through between two adjacent partition plates 2, a base plate 11 provided on the outside of the base frame 1, and the ends of the multiple partition plates 2 located outside the base frame 1 all rest on the base plate 11, a spacing mechanism 3 is provided on the base frame 1 and in each channel 21, and a drive mechanism 4 for driving the spacing mechanism 3 to move is provided on one side of the bottom of the base frame 1.

[0027] A belt conveyor located outside the base frame 1 transports small pieces of hot pot base from the base plate 11 to the base frame 1. Hot pot base from different positions simultaneously enters the base frame 1 through multiple channels 21. Channels 21 limit the spacing between adjacent rows of small hot pot base pieces. A spacing mechanism 3 adjusts the spacing between adjacent pieces in each row of small hot pot base pieces entering the base frame 1, ensuring that the spacing between the small pieces matches the spacing between adjacent suction cups on the suction cup assembly 6. This guarantees that when the suction cup assembly 6 performs adsorption, the positions of the multiple suction cups correspond one-to-one with the positions of the multiple small hot pot base pieces, ensuring accurate adsorption and preventing small pieces of hot pot base from falling off during adsorption due to positional deviations. It should be noted that the width of the spacing mechanism 3 is smaller than the width of the channels 21, and each set of spacing mechanisms 3 is located at the center of the width direction of the channels 21 to ensure that the spacing mechanism 3 can accurately space the small pieces of hot pot base.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the spacing mechanism 3 includes multiple sets of clamping assemblies 30 connected in sequence. Each clamping assembly 30 includes a support shaft 31 and clamping arms 32 hinged to both sides of the support shaft 31. The clamping arms 32 on adjacent sets of clamping assemblies 30 are hinged to each other through a first connecting shaft 33. The drive mechanism 4 includes a mounting plate 43, a drive cylinder 44, a mounting base 45, and multiple drive rods 41. The mounting plate 43 is fixedly mounted on the base frame 1. The cylinder of the drive cylinder 44 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 43. The mounting base 45 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the drive cylinder 44, and the length direction of the mounting base 45 is consistent with the width direction of the base frame 1. The multiple drive rods 41 are distributed on the mounting base 45 along the length direction of the mounting base 45 and are slidably mounted in the channel 2. Inside, the drive rod 41 is provided with a drive seat 42 for driving the clamping arms 32 of multiple clamping assemblies 30 to close together simultaneously. The length direction of both the drive rod 41 and the drive seat 42 is consistent with the length direction of the channel 21. The middle part of each clamping arm 32 is provided with an intermediate shaft 34. The drive seat 42 has multiple inclined grooves 421 distributed along its own length direction for the intermediate shafts 34 to pass through. The inclined grooves 421 can drive the intermediate shafts 34 to move upward so that the two clamping arms 32 of the multiple clamping assemblies 30 close together in a direction closer to each other. Both ends of the bottom of the drive seat 42 are provided with protrusions 422. The protrusions 422 are provided with horizontal grooves 423 for limiting the position of the support shaft 31. The support shafts 31 of the clamping assemblies 30 located at both ends are slidably disposed in the horizontal grooves 423.

[0029] The start-up drive cylinder 44 drives the mounting base 45 to move along the length of the base frame 1. This allows multiple drive rods 41 to drive multiple drive seats 42 to move along the length of the channel 21. During the movement, the contact position between the inclined groove 421 and the intermediate shaft 34 changes, thereby changing the height of the intermediate shaft 34. The opening of the horizontal groove 423 on the protrusion 422 keeps the height of the support shaft 31 constant. Therefore, the two clamping arms 32 on each clamping assembly 30 can either move closer to each other or open further apart, thereby causing the small pieces of hot pot base material located on the upper part of the clamping assembly 30 to move accordingly and adjusting the distance between two adjacent small pieces of hot pot base material.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, auxiliary arms 35 are rotatably connected to the two intermediate shafts 34 of the same clamping assembly 30. The tops of the two auxiliary arms 35 are hinged to each other via a second connecting shaft 36. When the two clamping arms 32 move closer to each other, the two auxiliary arms 35 move simultaneously under the action of the clamping arms 32. Therefore, within each clamping assembly 30, a clamping space is formed between the clamping arm 32 and the adjacent auxiliary arm 35. Each clamping assembly 30 has two clamping spaces, which can be used to arrange two small pieces of hot pot base. A third connecting shaft 37 is provided on the clamping arms 32 located at the edge of the clamping assembly 30 at both ends, so that the clamping mechanism can clamp the small pieces of hot pot base located at both ends. The sides of the adjacent clamping arms 32 and auxiliary arms 35 that are close to each other are provided with mutually symmetrical arc-shaped surfaces. Rotating rollers 38 are rotatably mounted on the first connecting shaft 33, the second connecting shaft 36, and the third connecting shaft 37 to prevent the small pieces of hot pot base from being squeezed and deformed during the clamping process.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
