Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slaughtering equipment technology, and in particular relates to a double-layer stacking mechanism for pork belly chunks. Background Technology
[0002] After the pork belly pieces are graded by a vision camera, workers need to stack pork belly pieces of the same grade together and place them in the corresponding trolley position; then push the trolley to the automatic packaging machine, place the stacked pork belly on the conveyor belt, and enter the automatic packaging machine.
[0003] Since the pork belly pieces are soft and not a standard square shape, the most traditional method of manual stacking is currently used, and they are sent to the automatic packaging machine by a transfer cart. Therefore, the problems are: (1) Manual stacking is labor-intensive and slow, which cannot meet the growing production demand; (2) The existing stacking method relies entirely on personal feeling and technique, and the stacking is sometimes neat and sometimes not; (3) A lot of transfer carts are needed, which takes up a lot of space in the workshop and affects the movement of personnel.
[0004] Therefore, how to automatically stack two pieces of pork belly, with uniform stacking standards, save stacking time, and automatically feed them onto the production line has become a key research topic in this field. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a double-layer stacking mechanism for pork belly chunks, which can solve the above problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a double-layer stacking mechanism for pork belly chunks, comprising:
[0007] A frame, with a lateral moving mechanism provided on top of the frame;
[0008] A lateral moving mechanism, which is connected to a vertical moving mechanism and drives the vertical moving mechanism to move left and right;
[0009] A vertical moving mechanism is connected to the shovel and drives the shovel to move up and down;
[0010] And a conveying mechanism located below the vertical moving mechanism.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: In use, the pork belly pieces are first placed on the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism delivers the pork belly pieces to the designated position and then stops working. At this time, the vertical moving mechanism drives the shovels down to the bottom of the pork belly pieces. Then, the horizontal moving mechanism, along with the vertical moving mechanism, merges left and right, thereby driving the shovels on both sides of the conveying mechanism to merge, so that the shovels are inserted into the bottom of the pork belly pieces. Then, the vertical moving mechanism drives the shovels up, and the conveying mechanism drives the adjacent pork belly pieces to move. When the adjacent pork belly pieces move to the designated position, the conveying mechanism stops working. Finally, the vertical moving mechanism, along with the shovels, descends to the top of the adjacent pork belly pieces, and the horizontal moving mechanism, along with the vertical moving mechanism, separates left and right, thereby driving the shovels on both sides of the conveying mechanism to separate. The pork belly pieces automatically fall on top of the adjacent pork belly pieces, thus completing the stacking of the two pork belly pieces. The conveying mechanism then transports the stacked pork belly pieces to the automatic packaging machine.
[0012] Therefore, this application uses a mechanical structure to stack pork belly pieces instead of the original manual stacking method to meet the increased volume requirements, standardize the stacking of pork belly pieces, shorten the manual stacking time, save stacking time, and at the same time reduce the number of workshop carts, making the workshop aisle space larger.
[0013] Furthermore, the lateral movement mechanism includes a lateral cylinder, a lateral guide rod, and a lateral linear bearing. The lateral cylinder and the lateral guide rod are respectively fixed on the frame. The lateral cylinder is connected to a slide table, and the slide table is connected to the lateral linear bearing. The vertical movement mechanism is mounted on the slide table, and the lateral linear bearing is fitted onto the lateral guide rod.
[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the transverse guide rod are fitted onto the shaft seat, and a buffer ring for buffering impact force is also provided at the end of the transverse guide rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the vertical movement mechanism includes a vertical cylinder, a vertical guide rod, and a vertical linear bearing. One end of the vertical cylinder is fixed to the slide table via a cylinder sleeve, and the other end is connected to the shovel. One end of the vertical guide rod is mounted on the slide table via the vertical linear bearing, and the other end is connected to the shovel via the vertical linear bearing. The vertical linear bearing is fitted onto the vertical guide rod.
[0016] Furthermore, the vertical cylinder is connected to the base plate via a floating joint, and the base plate and the shovel are respectively connected to the vertical linear bearing.
[0017] Furthermore, the transverse guide rod and the bearing seat are in a clearance fit.
[0018] Furthermore, the vertical guide rod and the vertical linear bearing are in a clearance fit.
[0019] Furthermore, the shovel includes an L-shaped plate structure and a fork connected to the L-shaped plate structure, the L-shaped plate structure being provided with reinforcing ribs.
[0020] Furthermore, the shovels on both sides of the conveying mechanism are not aligned, so that when the shovels on both sides are joined together, the fork of the shovel on one side can be inserted into the middle of the adjacent fork of the shovel on the other side. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a double-layer stacking mechanism for pork belly chunks, comprising:
[0029] A frame 1, with a lateral moving mechanism 2 installed on top of the frame 1;
[0030] A horizontal moving mechanism 2 is connected to a vertical moving mechanism 3 and drives the vertical moving mechanism 3 to move left and right.
[0031] Vertical moving mechanism 3 is connected to shovel 4 and drives shovel 4 to move up and down;
[0032] And a conveying mechanism 5 located below the vertical moving mechanism 3.
[0033] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: In use, the pork belly pieces are first placed on the conveying mechanism 5. The conveying mechanism 5 delivers the pork belly pieces to the designated position and then stops working. At this time, the vertical moving mechanism 3 drives the shovel 4 to descend to the bottom of the pork belly pieces. Then, the horizontal moving mechanism 2, along with the vertical moving mechanism 3, merges left and right, thereby driving the shovels 4 on both sides of the conveying mechanism 5 to merge, so that the shovels 4 are inserted into the bottom of the pork belly pieces. Then, the vertical moving mechanism 3 drives the shovels 4 to move upward, and the conveying mechanism 5 works to drive the adjacent pork belly pieces to move. When the adjacent pork belly pieces move to the designated position, the conveying mechanism 5 stops working. Finally, the vertical moving mechanism 3, along with the shovels 4, descends to the top of the adjacent pork belly pieces, and the horizontal moving mechanism 2, along with the vertical moving mechanism 3, separates left and right, thereby driving the shovels 4 on both sides of the conveying mechanism 5 to separate. The pork belly pieces automatically fall on top of the adjacent pork belly pieces, thus completing the stacking of the two pork belly pieces. The conveying mechanism 5 then transports the stacked pork belly pieces to the automatic packaging machine.
[0034] It should be noted that the aforementioned pork belly chunks can also be other meat products, such as lean meat chunks, pork belly chunks, etc. Any solution that can use this structure to stack materials is within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the conveying mechanism 5 can be a belt conveyor or other structure for conveying materials.
[0035] Therefore, this application uses a mechanical structure to stack pork belly pieces instead of the original manual stacking method to meet the increased volume requirements, standardize the stacking of pork belly pieces, shorten the manual stacking time, save stacking time, and at the same time reduce the number of workshop carts, making the workshop aisle space larger.
[0036] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, as Figure 2As shown, the lateral movement mechanism 2 includes a lateral cylinder 21, a lateral guide rod 22, and a lateral linear bearing 23. The lateral cylinder 21 and the lateral guide rod 22 are respectively fixed on the frame 1. The lateral cylinder 21 is connected to a slide table 24, and the slide table 24 is connected to the lateral linear bearing 23. The vertical movement mechanism 3 is mounted on the slide table 24, and the lateral linear bearing 23 is fitted onto the lateral guide rod 22. When the lateral cylinder 21 extends or retracts, it drives the slide table 24 and the lateral linear bearing 23 to move back and forth along the lateral guide rod 22, thereby enabling the slide table 24 to move back and forth with the vertical movement mechanism 3.
[0037] Following the above embodiment, more preferably, both ends of the transverse guide rod 22 are fitted onto the bearing seat 25, and a buffer ring 26 for buffering impact force is also provided at the end of the transverse guide rod 22.
[0038] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the vertical movement mechanism 3 includes a vertical cylinder 31, a vertical guide rod 32, and a vertical linear bearing 33. One end of the vertical cylinder 31 is fixed to the slide table 24 via a cylinder sleeve 34, and the other end is connected to the shovel 4. One end of the vertical guide rod 32 is mounted on the slide table 24 via the vertical linear bearing 33, and the other end is connected to the shovel 4 via the vertical linear bearing 33. The vertical linear bearing 33 is fitted onto the vertical guide rod 32. When the vertical cylinder 31 extends or retracts, it drives the vertical linear bearing 33 and the shovel 4 to move back and forth along the vertical guide rod 32, thereby realizing the up-and-down movement of the shovel 4.
[0039] Following the above embodiment, a more preferable embodiment is that the vertical cylinder 31 is connected to the base plate 36 via a floating joint 35, and the base plate 36 and the shovel 4 are respectively connected to vertical linear bearings 33. During the stacking process, the first piece of pork belly descends. To protect the second piece of pork belly below from impact damage by the descending vertical cylinder 31, the vertical cylinder 31 is separately connected to the base plate 36. The base plate 36 supports the shovel 4 for vertical movement, ensuring that during the descent of the first piece of pork belly, the second piece of pork belly only bears the weight of the shovel 4 and the first piece of pork belly.
[0040] Following the above embodiment, a more preferable embodiment is that the transverse guide rod 22 and the shaft seat 25 are in clearance fit. By using a clearance fit between the transverse guide rod 22 and the shaft seat 25, a certain amount of movement allowance is provided for the shaft, effectively avoiding assembly errors or movement jamming caused by thermal expansion during long-term reciprocating motion of the transverse cylinder 21, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the actuator.
[0041] Following the above embodiment, a more preferable embodiment is that the vertical guide rod 32 and the vertical linear bearing 33 are in clearance fit. Specifically, for the vertical cylinder 31 suspended by the cylinder liner 34, the clearance fit between the vertical guide rod 32 and the vertical linear bearing 33 effectively compensates for axial deviation and radial offset during vertical movement, eliminates motion instability caused by suspension, and ensures smooth and stable vertical movement.
[0042] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the shovel 4 includes an L-shaped plate structure 41 and a fork 42 connected to the L-shaped plate structure 41. The L-shaped plate structure 41 is provided with reinforcing ribs 43. The shovel 4 is made entirely of 304 stainless steel, which has excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This design effectively improves the structural rigidity of the L-shaped plate structure 41, preventing plastic deformation when forking pieces of pork belly under load and avoiding fatigue failure due to long-term use. Simultaneously, the fork 42 adopts a cylindrical structure, optimizing the length-to-diameter ratio of the fork 42 while ensuring sufficient structural strength, thus ensuring the reliability and operational flexibility of the forking action.
[0043] Following the above embodiment, a more preferable embodiment is that the shovels 4 on both sides of the conveying mechanism 5 are not aligned, so that when the shovels 4 on both sides are joined together, the fork 42 of one side of the shovel 4 can be inserted into the middle of the adjacent fork 42 of the other side of the shovel 4. This staggered design of the forks 42 on both sides not only increases the picking area of the forks 42, but also increases the picking density after the forks 42 on both sides cross, thereby improving the stability of picking up items.
[0044] In summary, the working principle of this application is as follows: the horizontal cylinder 21 moves back and forth to complete the functions of inserting and removing the pork belly pieces from the bottom; the vertical cylinder 31 moves up and down to raise the inserted pork belly pieces; when the next pork belly piece of the same grade is under the fork 42, the vertical cylinder 31 completes the function of lowering, and the horizontal cylinder 21 completes the function of removing, thus completing the stacking of the two pork belly pieces.
[0045] The workflow for this application is as follows:
[0046] (1) When there are no pork belly pieces, the stacking mechanism is in the falling and opening state; (2) When the photoelectric sensor detects that a pork belly piece has arrived under the mechanism, the two horizontal cylinders 21 will be inserted from the left and right directions under the pork belly piece; (3) The first pork belly piece is inserted and waits for the arrival of the second pork belly piece of the same grade; (4) When the second pork belly piece arrives under the mechanism, the vertical cylinder 31 moves downward, the first pork belly piece and the second pork belly piece are stacked together, and then the horizontal cylinder 21 moves outward, the shovel 4 is pulled out, and the stacking is completed.
[0047] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
