Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fresh food delivery and packaging technology, specifically to a feeding device for fresh food delivery and packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Fresh produce refers to primary products sold without cooking, preparation, or other deep processing, only requiring necessary preservation and simple arrangement before being placed on shelves. It also includes bread, cooked food, and other freshly processed goods. During delivery, fresh produce requires packaging to prevent damage, a process that utilizes loading equipment. In existing technology: Authorization Publication No. CN 214357164 U's patent discloses a feeding device for fresh produce delivery and packing, including a base and a sliding block. The base has an organic body and four sets of support seats welded to its surface. Two sets of support seats are rotatably connected to a drive shaft, and the other two sets are rotatably connected to a driven shaft. The device uses a drive motor to rotate a first gear, which in turn rotates a second gear, which in turn rotates a drive rod. The drive rod, through a coupling, rotates a threaded rod, causing the threaded rod to move the sliding block linearly along its outer wall. The sliding block, through a housing, moves an air inlet, which is then dried by an air pump. A synchronous belt then carries the fresh produce into boxes. This eliminates the need for the fresh produce to be naturally dried before manual packing, saving labor and time and significantly improving efficiency. To improve the efficiency of fresh produce delivery, during the fresh produce packing process, staff remove the fresh produce from the loading area and place it into the packaging box. After the packaging box is filled, staff need to replace it. At this time, the loading device is still in the fresh produce packing conveyor state, which can easily lead to staff being overwhelmed and disorganized during the packaging box replacement process. In addition, the packaging boxes are placed on the platform, and the height of the packaging boxes varies for different types of fresh produce. If the height of the fresh produce packaging box is higher than the height of the fresh produce loading area, staff have to lift the fresh produce from the loading area to a certain height each time they pack it for fresh produce delivery, and then lower it into the fresh produce delivery box. Repeating this operation will cause staff to lose physical strength and speed up the process. Therefore, we propose a loading device for fresh produce delivery packing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a feeding device for fresh produce delivery and packaging. This device uses detection and control elements to work together. When workers replace fresh produce packaging boxes, the feeding device can automatically close. At the same time, through transmission elements, the device can adjust the placement position of the fresh produce packaging boxes according to their height changes, ensuring that the opening of the boxes is always below the feeding area. This reduces the rate of physical exertion for workers during the fresh produce feeding and packaging process and effectively solves the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for fresh food distribution and boxing, including a belt conveyor, two longitudinally symmetrically distributed guide rails on the right side of the belt conveyor, a lifting frame slidably connected between the guide rails, and a boxing auxiliary mechanism;

[0005] The packing auxiliary mechanism includes a placement seat, mounting brackets, through-beam photoelectric sensors, and a height adjustment component. The placement seat is installed on the upper side of the lifting frame. Mounting brackets are provided at both the front and rear ends of the upper side of the placement seat. Through-beam photoelectric sensors are provided on the opposite inner sides of the two mounting brackets. A height adjustment component is provided between the front guide rail and the lifting frame. This device uses detection and control elements to work together. When the staff changes the fresh food packaging boxes, the feeding equipment can automatically close. At the same time, the device can adjust the height of the fresh food packaging boxes according to the height changes of the fresh food packaging boxes through transmission elements, so that the opening of the fresh food packaging boxes is always below the feeding part, reducing the rate of physical exertion of the staff during the fresh food loading and packing process.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a microcontroller, which is located outside the belt conveyor. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power source, and the output terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the input terminal of the belt conveyor. The microcontroller is also bidirectionally electrically connected to a through-beam photoelectric sensor, which facilitates the control of electrical components within the device.

[0007] Furthermore, the packing auxiliary mechanism also includes an electronic scale, which is bidirectionally electrically connected to a microcontroller. The electronic scale is located on the upper middle part of the lifting frame, and the weighing end of the electronic scale is fixedly connected to the lower side of the placement seat. It measures and uploads the overall quality of the fresh food packaging boxes in the fresh food delivery packing equipment.

[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment component includes a stud and a handwheel. The stud is rotatably connected to the interior of the front guide rail via a bearing. The stud is threadedly connected to the left front end of the lifting frame. A handwheel is provided at the upper end of the stud to adjust the vertical position of the lifting frame in the fresh food delivery and packaging equipment.

[0009] Furthermore, the height adjustment component also includes a scale and a pointer. The scale is located on the front side of the guide rail, and the pointer is located on the front side of the lifting frame. The pointer is installed in conjunction with the scale to improve the accuracy of vertical position adjustment of the lifting frame in the fresh food delivery and packaging equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, the height adjustment component also includes corrugated pipes, which are respectively disposed between the upper and lower ends of the front guide rail and the lifting frame. The corrugated pipes are movably sleeved on the outer end of the studs to wrap and protect the studs in the fresh food delivery and packaging equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, the packing auxiliary mechanism also includes an alarm, which is located at the upper right rear end of the belt conveyor. The input end of the alarm is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to provide a notification when the packing of a single fresh food packaging box in the fresh food delivery packing equipment is completed.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This fresh produce delivery and packing equipment has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. When using the fresh produce delivery and packaging equipment, the through-beam photoelectric sensor, microcontroller and belt conveyor work together to automatically shut down the feeding equipment when the staff changes the fresh produce packaging box, which is convenient for the staff to change the fresh produce packaging box.

[0014] 2. When using the fresh produce delivery and packing equipment, the height adjustment component, with the assistance of threaded transmission and a scale, can adjust the placement of the fresh produce packaging boxes according to their height changes. This ensures that the opening of the fresh produce packaging box is always below the loading area. When loading fresh produce, workers only need to move the fresh produce to the right and adjust its falling position. The fresh produce will fall into the packaging box under its own weight, eliminating the need for workers to manually lift and lower the boxes, thus reducing the rate of physical exertion during the fresh produce loading and packing process.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a fresh produce delivery and packing equipment, including a belt conveyor 1, two longitudinally symmetrically distributed guide rails 3 on the right side of the belt conveyor 1, a lifting frame 4 slidably connected between the guide rails 3, and a microcontroller 2 located outside the belt conveyor 1. The input end of the microcontroller 2 is electrically connected to an external power source, and the output end of the microcontroller 2 is electrically connected to the input end of the belt conveyor 1. The microcontroller 2 starts the belt conveyor 1, and the belt conveyor 1 operates by using the contact friction between its own belt and the fresh produce to perform packing and conveying operations on the fresh produce from left to right. It also includes a packing auxiliary mechanism 5.

[0022] Packing auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a placement seat 52, a mounting bracket 53, a through-beam photoelectric sensor 54, and a height adjustment component 55. The placement seat 52 is mounted on the upper side of the lifting frame 4. Mounting brackets 53 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the upper side of the placement seat 52. Through-beam photoelectric sensors 54 are provided on the opposite inner surfaces of the two mounting brackets 53. The height adjustment component 55 is located between the front guide rail 3 and the lifting frame 4. The microcontroller 2 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54. The packing auxiliary mechanism 5 also includes an electronic scale 51, which is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller 2. The electronic scale 51 is located in the upper middle part of the lifting frame 4. The weighing end of the electronic scale 51 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the placement seat 52. The height adjustment component 55 includes a stud 551 and a handwheel 552. 551 is rotatably connected to the interior of the front guide rail 3 via a bearing. The stud 551 is threadedly connected to the left front end of the lifting frame 4. A handwheel 552 is located at the upper end of the stud 551. The height adjustment component 55 also includes a scale 553 and a pointer 554. The scale 553 is located on the front side of the front guide rail 3, and the pointer 554 is located on the front side of the lifting frame 4. The pointer 554 is installed in conjunction with the scale 553. The height adjustment component 55 also includes a bellows 555, which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the front guide rail 3 between the lifting frame 4 and the upper end. All bellows 555 are movably sleeved on the outer end of the stud 551. The packing auxiliary mechanism 5 also includes an alarm 56, which is located at the upper right rear end of the belt conveyor 1. The input of the alarm 56... The device is electrically connected to the output of the microcontroller 2. When using the device to load fresh produce into boxes, the worker first inputs the overall quality data of a single fresh produce box into the microcontroller 2. The microcontroller 2 then activates the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54. The front through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 emits a light beam that shines into the receiver of the rear through-beam photoelectric sensor 54. The worker then places the fresh produce box on top of the placement seat 52, so that the left end of the fresh produce box is between the two through-beam photoelectric sensors 54. At this time, due to the obstruction caused by the fresh produce box, the light signal received by the receiver of the rear through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 is weakened. The through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 then transmits the weakened light beam signal to the microcontroller 2 as an electrical signal. Machine 2: Workers use a lever to drop fresh produce from the upper right end of conveyor belt 1 into fresh produce packaging boxes. Simultaneously, microcontroller 2 starts electronic scale 51 (which needs to be zeroed before use). Scale 51 measures the overall mass of the fresh produce packaging boxes on the placement seat 52 using an internal pressure sensor and transmits the measurement result to microcontroller 2 as an electrical signal. When microcontroller 2 detects that the overall mass of the fresh produce packaging boxes has reached the total mass of a single box after loading, it activates alarm 56 and uses an internal timing unit to make alarm 56 run for three seconds. During this time, alarm 56 sounds to notify workers that the loading of a single fresh produce packaging box is complete.This prevents significant errors in the filling of fresh produce between each packaging box. Afterwards, the staff removes the filled fresh produce packaging boxes from the placement seat 52. When the boxes are removed, the data transmitted by the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 to the microcontroller 2 changes. At this point, the microcontroller 2 shuts down the belt conveyor 1, ensuring that the fresh produce filling and conveying section automatically remains stationary when the staff replaces the boxes. Simultaneously, the staff can rotate the handwheel 552 to rotate the stud 551 according to the height of the boxes. During the rotation of the stud 551, the lifting frame 4 moves vertically along the guide rail 3 via a threaded connection. This vertical movement of the lifting frame 4 causes the pointer 554 to move vertically along the scale 553. By monitoring the vertical movement of the pointer 554 along the scale 553, the overall movement of the lifting frame 4 and the placement seat 52 is monitored. The vertical movement distance is precisely controlled by adjusting the vertical height of the placement seat 52, ensuring that the opening of the fresh produce packaging box is always below the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1. This facilitates the loading and unloading of fresh produce into the packaging box by workers. The exposed end of the stud 551 is protected by a corrugated tube 555, a corrugated structure made of multiple layers of stacked metal sheets. Its working principle is to achieve self-adaptive sealing through elastic deformation to maintain good sealing performance. Through the cooperation of detection and control elements, the loading equipment automatically closes when workers change the fresh produce packaging box. Simultaneously, the device, through transmission elements, can adjust the placement height of the fresh produce packaging box according to changes in box height, ensuring that the opening of the box is always below the loading area, reducing the rate of physical exertion during the loading and unloading process.

[0023] The working principle of the fresh produce delivery and packaging equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: When using the device to load fresh produce for delivery and packaging, the worker first inputs the overall quality data of a single fresh produce packaging box into the microcontroller 2. The microcontroller 2 then activates the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54. The front through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 emits a light beam that shines into the receiver of the rear through-beam photoelectric sensor 54. Subsequently, the worker places the fresh produce packaging box on the upper side of the placement seat 52, so that the left end of the fresh produce packaging box is between the two through-beam photoelectric sensors 54. At this time, due to the obstruction of the fresh produce packaging box, the light signal received by the receiver of the rear through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 is weakened. Therefore, the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 weakens the light beam received signal. The signal is transmitted to the microcontroller 2 via electrical signal. The microcontroller 2 then starts the belt conveyor 1. The belt conveyor 1 operates by using the contact friction between its belt and the fresh products to transport and pack the fresh products from left to right. Workers manipulate the fresh products on the upper right side of the belt conveyor 1 to make them fall into the fresh product packaging boxes. Simultaneously, the microcontroller 2 starts the electronic scale 51 (which needs to be zeroed before use). The electronic scale 51 uses its internal pressure sensor to measure the overall mass of the fresh product packaging boxes on the placement seat 52 and transmits the measurement result to the microcontroller 2 via electrical signal. When the microcontroller 2 detects that the overall mass of the fresh product packaging boxes has reached the total mass of a single fresh product packaging box after loading, the microcontroller... Machine 2 activates alarm 56 and uses its internal timing unit to run alarm 56 for three seconds. During the operation of alarm 56, the alarm sounds to indicate to the staff that the individual fresh food packaging boxes have been filled, ensuring that there are no large errors in the filling of fresh food packaging boxes. Subsequently, the staff removes the filled fresh food packaging boxes from the placement seat 52. When the fresh food packaging boxes are removed from the placement seat 52, the transmission result of the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 obtained by microcontroller 2 changes. At this time, microcontroller 2 shuts down belt conveyor 1, so that when the staff replaces the fresh food packaging boxes, the fresh food filling and conveying part can automatically be in a stationary state. At the same time, the staff can adjust the filling and conveying of fresh food packaging boxes according to the changes in the height of the boxes. Turning the handwheel 552 causes the stud 551 to rotate. During the rotation of the stud 551, the lifting frame 4 moves vertically along the guide rail 3 via the threaded connection. During the vertical movement of the lifting frame 4, the pointer 554 moves vertically along the scale value on the scale 553. By controlling the vertical movement range of the pointer 554 along the scale 553, the overall vertical movement distance of the lifting frame 4 and the placement seat 52 can be precisely controlled. By adjusting the vertical height of the placement seat 52, the opening of the fresh produce packaging box is always below the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1, which facilitates the workers to pack and load fresh produce into the packaging box. The exposed end of the stud 551 is wrapped and protected by the corrugated pipe 555.The 555 bellows is a corrugated structure made of multiple layers of laminated metal sheets. Its working principle is to achieve self-adaptive sealing through elastic deformation to maintain good sealing performance.

[0024] It is worth noting that the belt conveyor 1 disclosed in the above embodiments can be a TD-3 belt conveyor, the microcontroller 2 can be an MCS-51, the electronic scale 51 can be a RANGER7000, the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54 can be an E3Z through-beam photoelectric sensor, and the alarm 56 can be a BC-809C. The microcontroller 2 controls the operation of the belt conveyor 1, the electronic scale 51, the through-beam photoelectric sensor 54, and the alarm 56 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
