Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dispensing devices, and in particular to an automatic dispensing device for instant noodle seasoning packets. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of instant noodles, the seasoning packet, as an important part of the product, needs to be put into the noodle cup before packaging so that consumers can use it; while in the process of producing instant noodles, the automated production line generally transports the instant noodle cups in a multi-line synchronous manner to achieve large-scale continuous production.

[0003] In the existing technology, most seasoning packet dispensing devices on the market adopt a single-point structure, that is, seasoning packets can only be dispensed to one row or one noodle bucket at a time. As a result, during the production process, seasoning packets need to be dispensed to multiple rows of noodle buckets on the conveyor belt before the conveyor belt can be started, which causes frequent stops of the conveyor belt, resulting in inconsistent dispensing rhythm and seriously affecting the production efficiency of the entire production line.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0031] To make the utility model's objectives, features, and advantages more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an automatic dispensing device for instant noodle seasoning packets, including a first frame 1, a feeding conveyor belt 2, a first blocking mechanism 3, a second frame 4, a feeding chute 5, a second blocking mechanism 6, and a packet-grabbing and dispensing mechanism 7. The feeding conveyor belt 2 is used to convey bulk seasoning packets. Multiple feeding conveyor belts 2 are spaced apart on the first frame 1. The feeding conveyor belts 2 have an inclination angle with the horizontal plane, and the height of the feeding conveyor belts 2 gradually increases along the conveying direction. This arrangement can create a certain conveying resistance and prevent the seasoning packets from being dispensing due to inertia. To prevent the accumulation of condiments from causing chaos, a baffle 21 is provided around the outside of the feeding conveyor belt 2. The baffle 21 is used to prevent the condiment packets from falling off the feeding conveyor belt 2. The first baffle mechanism 3 is horizontally arranged above the feeding conveyor belt 2. The first baffle mechanism 3 is used to intermittently prevent the condiment packets from being conveyed upward as the feeding conveyor belt 2 moves. The first baffle mechanism 3 can intermittently block the condiment packets from being conveyed upward according to a set rhythm. When the feeding time is reached, it will be released, so that the condiment packets enter the subsequent processes in a predetermined quantity in sequence, effectively preventing the occurrence of accumulation and jamming.

[0035] Multiple feeding chutes 5 are provided on the second frame 4, and the top of the feeding chutes 5 is located at the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 2. The second blocking mechanism 6 is provided on the feeding chutes 5. The second blocking mechanism 6 is used to intermittently prevent the seasoning packets from sliding off the feeding chutes 5, thereby realizing the quantitative conveying of a single seasoning packet. This facilitates the positioning and grabbing of the seasoning packet by the grabbing and feeding mechanism 7, and avoids the continuous sliding of the seasoning packets from affecting the feeding rhythm. The grabbing and feeding mechanism 7 is provided above the bottom of the feeding chutes 5. The grabbing and feeding mechanism 7 is used to grab the seasoning packets on the feeding chutes 5 and put them onto the external instant noodle conveyor line, so that the seasoning packets fall accurately into the noodle bucket, thereby effectively improving the seasoning packet feeding accuracy of the instant noodle production line and thus improving the production efficiency of instant noodles.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the feeding mechanism 7 further includes a push-out cylinder 71, a connecting frame 72, a lifting cylinder 73, and an adsorption nozzle 74. The push-out cylinder 71 is located on the top of the second frame 4, and its movable end is connected to the connecting frame 72. The push-out cylinder 71 drives the connecting frame 72 to reciprocate horizontally. Multiple lifting cylinders 73 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the connecting frame 72. The movable ends of the lifting cylinders 73 face downwards and are connected to the adsorption nozzle 74 through a mounting bracket. The adsorption nozzle 74 is used to adsorb the seasoning packet on the feeding chute 5. When the seasoning packet falls to the grabbing position through the feeding chute 5, the lifting cylinder 73 is activated to press the adsorption nozzle 74 down onto the surface of the seasoning packet. The vacuum suction generated by the adsorption nozzle 74 picks up the seasoning packet. Then, the lifting cylinder 73 retracts, and the adsorption nozzle 74 lifts the seasoning packet back to its initial height. Then, the push-out cylinder 71 drives the adsorption nozzle 74 to move horizontally above the instant noodle conveyor line to complete the fixed-point delivery of the seasoning packet.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, it further includes a vibrator 8, which is located at the bottom end of the feeding chute 5. The vibrator 8 is used to drive the feeding slide to generate vibration, so that the seasoning bag in the feeding chute 5 remains loose during the downward movement, and avoids the smooth sliding of the seasoning bag due to frictional resistance.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the first blocking mechanism 3 further includes a first motor 31, a first rotating shaft 32, and blocking rollers 33. The first rotating shaft 32 is rotatably mounted above the feeding conveyor belt 2. Multiple blocking rollers 33 are spaced apart along the length of the first rotating shaft 32. Each blocking roller 33 has several blocking rods 331 along its circumference. The blocking rods 331 are used to block or release the seasoning packet as the blocking roller 33 rotates. The first motor 31 is connected to the first rotating shaft 32 to drive the first rotating shaft 32 to rotate. When it is necessary to block the continued conveying of the seasoning packet, the blocking roller 33 rotates, causing the blocking rods 331 to rotate above the conveying path, forming a physical block. At this time, the seasoning packet remains on the conveyor belt. When it is necessary to release the seasoning packet, the blocking roller 33 rotates, causing the blocking rods 331 to no longer block the seasoning packet. At this time, the seasoning packet continues to be conveyed upwards under the action of the feeding conveyor belt 2. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second blocking mechanism 6 has the same structure as the first blocking mechanism 3.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the surface of the feeding conveyor belt 2 is provided with a plurality of spaced limiting baffles 22, and a limiting placement area 220 for placing seasoning packets is formed between two adjacent limiting baffles 22. The limiting placement area 220 can accommodate a single seasoning packet, so that it always maintains a stable spacing during the conveying process, and avoids the seasoning packets from accumulating on the feeding conveyor belt 2 due to rolling.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, it also includes a linkage drive mechanism 9, which is used to drive multiple feeding conveyor belts 2 to rotate synchronously. The linkage drive mechanism 9 includes a second motor 91, a second rotating shaft 92, a driving gear 93, and a driven gear 94. The second rotating shaft 92 is rotatably mounted on the side end of the first frame 1. Multiple driving gears 93 are spaced apart along the length of the second rotating shaft 92. The driven gear 94 is connected to the side end of the feeding conveyor belt 2, and the driving gear 93 and the driven gear 94 are meshed together. The output shaft of the second motor 91 is connected to the second rotating shaft 92 to drive the second rotating shaft 92 to rotate. When the second motor 91 starts, it drives the second rotating shaft 92 to rotate, thereby driving all the driving gears 93 to rotate simultaneously, and then driving each driven gear 94 to operate in linkage, so that multiple feeding conveyor belts 2 maintain the same rhythm and operate synchronously, ensuring that the conveying speed and rhythm of the seasoning package on each feeding conveyor belt 2 are consistent, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the seasoning package dispensing device.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding chute 5 is further provided with an avoidance groove 51 at its end. The avoidance groove 51 is used to avoid the adsorption nozzle 74 of the adsorption seasoning packet, thereby avoiding interference or collision.

[0042] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
