Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chrysanthemum processing technology, specifically to a packaging device for chrysanthemums in boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing and distribution of high-quality chrysanthemums such as Golden Chrysanthemum, individual packaging has become the mainstream trend. These chrysanthemums are characterized by their complete shape and delicate appearance, and they need to meet consumers' convenient needs for carrying and brewing them immediately. Therefore, they usually need to be packaged in small, exquisite boxes. However, the industry still generally relies on manual operation for such small-batch, refined boxing and sealing operations.

[0003] In the traditional process, operators need to complete multiple steps in sequence, such as picking up the boxes, arranging them to ensure the openings are facing upwards and in a neat position, accurately placing a single chrysanthemum, aligning the lids, and applying pressure to seal them. This process not only requires a high level of skill from the operators, but also results in low efficiency. The connection between each step relies on manual judgment and action transitions, making it difficult to form continuous operations. Especially during the peak season for chrysanthemum harvesting and processing, insufficient production capacity can easily lead to product backlog, and labor costs will continue to rise. Long-term reliance on manual labor for repetitive tasks not only increases the company's production and operating costs, but is also affected by subjective factors such as the physical strength and attention of the personnel, making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of work quality. The hygiene and safety risks are high, as people directly contact the products and packaging. If the operating procedures are not in place, contaminants can easily be introduced, which does not meet the hygiene standards for food-grade agricultural product processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chrysanthemum packaging device, comprising an operating table, a rotating table mounted on the operating table, multiple sets of conveying components located on the same side of the periphery of the rotating table, and multiple sets of feeding components that cooperate with the conveying components for transfer. Multiple sets of carrier cylinders for placing packaging boxes are fixed on the rotating table, and a pressing component is mounted on the operating table. The conveying components include a vibrating table and a belt conveyor mounted on the operating table. A limit block is formed at the tail end of the belt conveyor. A conveying disc, which connects to the belt conveyor, is obliquely mounted on the vibrating table. The conveying disc has a trapezoidal structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. The right inclined surface of the trapezoidal structure is raised higher than the left inclined surface, and extends along the left and right inclined surfaces towards the top of the trapezoidal structure to form a narrow channel that connects to the belt conveyor. The left and right sides of the conveying disc form retaining edges above the disc surface. The feeding component includes a vertical plate fixed to the side near the belt conveyor. A bidirectional moving part is mounted on the vertical plate, and a clamping part is mounted on the vertical moving end of the bidirectional moving part.

[0005] Furthermore, an arched plate is fixed to the top of the belt conveyor, and the arched plate is a certain distance away from the limiting block. The distance between the arched plate and the limiting block forms a material picking area.

[0006] Furthermore, the belt conveyor is equipped with side blocks on its side, and multiple sets of push cylinders are installed on the side blocks. The piston rod of the push cylinder is fixed with a baffle that slides with the side block and passes through the arch plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the bidirectional moving part includes a linear module mounted on the upright plate, and a lowering cylinder is installed at the moving end of the linear module. The ejecting end of the lowering cylinder is fixed to the clamping part.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping part is a clamping cylinder, and the clamping end of the clamping cylinder is a flexible gripper.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a side plate, a guide plate is fixed to the side of the side plate, and a clamping cylinder is installed on the top of the side plate. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder passes through the guide plate and a rubber head is fixed to the bottom.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The chrysanthemum packaging device uses a rotating table to drive the carrier cylinder to rotate intermittently. With the coordinated action of multiple sets of conveying components and feeding components, it can complete the processes of feeding the packaging box, packing the chrysanthemums, and sealing and pressing the cap in sequence. It eliminates the dependence on manual connection, improves the work efficiency compared with traditional manual labor, effectively solves the problem of insufficient production capacity during peak season, and only requires manual replenishment of materials after the equipment is started, which has low requirements for the operator's proficiency.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment of a chrysanthemum packaging device includes an operating table 1, on which a rotating table 2, three sets of conveying components 4 located on the same side of the periphery of the rotating table 2, and three sets of feeding components 5 that cooperate with the conveying components 4 for transfer are mounted. Multiple sets of carrier cylinders 3 for placing packaging boxes are fixed on the rotating table 2. The top of the carrier cylinder 3 has a concave surface for placing and limiting the packaging boxes. A pressing component 6 is installed on the operating table 1 corresponding to the flow path of the rotating table 2. By placing the box, chrysanthemum, and lid into the conveying components, the conveying components transport the corresponding items. The rotating table indirectly drives the carrier cylinders to rotate and adjust their positions. Therefore, the feeding components complete the process of placing the box into the carrier cylinder, transferring the chrysanthemum into the box, placing the lid on top of the box, and then pressing it with the pressing components, thus completing the entire chrysanthemum packaging operation. This eliminates the reliance on manual intervention and improves work efficiency compared to traditional manual methods.

[0018] like Figure 2 The conveying assembly 4 includes a vibrating table 41 and a belt conveyor 43 mounted on the operating table 1. A limiting block is formed at the tail end of the belt conveyor 43. When the belt conveyor conveys boxes, chrysanthemums, or lids, it can be limited at the tail end by the limiting block, so that it is accurately positioned below the feeding assembly 5 to wait for feeding. A conveying disc 42 that docks with the belt conveyor 43 is installed obliquely on the vibrating table 41. Through cooperation with the vibrating table, the slope of the conveying disc can move the material towards the belt conveyor. The conveying disc 42 has a trapezoidal structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. Its right inclined surface is raised higher than the left inclined surface, and it extends along the left and right inclined surfaces to the top of the trapezoid to form a narrow channel that docks with the belt conveyor 43. The left and right sides of the conveying disc 42 extend upwards to form a retaining edge, which is used to prevent the material from falling off and guide the material to be arranged neatly.

[0019] The belt conveyor 43 is equipped with an arch plate 44 at its top. The arch plate serves to limit the movement of the belt conveyor when conveying items, preventing them from falling. The arch plate 44 and the limiting block are a certain distance apart to form a material picking area, which is used to limit the position of the material for easy grabbing. The belt conveyor 43 is equipped with a side block 45 on its front side. Two sets of push cylinders 46 are installed on the side block 45. The piston rod of the push cylinder 46 is fixed with a baffle 47 that slides with the side block 45 and passes through the arch plate 44. The push cylinder 46 drives the baffle 47 to extend and retract, realizing the intermittent conveying of materials in a single set.

[0020] In addition, the feeding assembly 5 includes a vertical plate 51 fixed near the tail end of the belt conveyor 43. A bidirectional moving part is installed on the vertical plate 51. A clamping part is installed at the vertical moving end of the bidirectional moving part. The bidirectional moving part includes a linear module 52 installed on the vertical plate 51. A downward lifting cylinder 53 is installed at the moving end of the linear module 52. The ejection end of the downward lifting cylinder 53 is fixed to the clamping part, which can realize the precise movement of the clamping part in the horizontal and vertical directions. The clamping part is a clamping cylinder 54. Its clamping end adopts a flexible gripper to avoid damaging the chrysanthemum petals or packaging box when gripping.

[0021] like Figure 3 The pressing assembly 6 includes a side plate 61 fixed on the operating table 1 and located around the rotating table 2. A guide plate 63 is fixed on the right side of the side plate 61. The side plate 61 and the guide plate 63 form an F-shape. A pressing cylinder 62 is installed on the top of the side plate 61. The piston rod of the pressing cylinder 62 passes through the guide plate 63 and a rubber head 64 is fixed at the bottom. The guide plate 63 is used to guide the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 62. By driving the rubber head, the cover and the box are tightly closed to complete the packaging. The rubber head prevents the packaging box from being crushed or damaged.

[0022] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0023] The operator pours the box body, chrysanthemum, and box lid into the corresponding conveyor trays of the conveyor components. The baffles on both sides of the conveyor tray prevent the material from falling off. With the vibration of the vibrating table, the material slides along the inclined surface of the tray, which is lower on the right and higher on the left, and gradually gathers towards the narrow channel at the top, achieving initial orderly arrangement. The orderly material enters the belt conveyor through the narrow channel and moves towards the tail end with the belt. The arch plate at the top of the belt and the tail end limit block form a fixed material picking area. At the same time, two sets of push cylinders on the side block alternately drive the baffle to extend and retract. The baffle passes through the arch plate to block the material from moving forward. The material is blocked by the extending plate and released by the retracting plate. The intermittent operation ensures that only a single material enters the picking area at a time, precisely stopping directly below the feeding component. The three feeding components work in coordination with the rotating table, sequentially transferring materials to the carrying cylinder in the order of box body, chrysanthemum, and lid, completing the pre-assembly steps. Then, the feeding component corresponding to the box body is activated. The linear module on the upright plate drives the lower top cylinder and clamping cylinder to move horizontally above the box picking area. The piston rod of the lower top cylinder extends downwards, driving the flexible gripper closer to the box body. The clamping cylinder retracts to grasp the material. Subsequently, the lower top cylinder returns to its original position and rises, and the linear module transfers the material to the empty bearing of the rotating table. Above the carrier cylinder, the lower cylinder extends again, placing the box into the concave surface at the top of the carrier cylinder. The clamping cylinder releases, completing the box placement. After the box is loaded, the rotary table drives the carrier cylinder to rotate to the chrysanthemum loading station. The corresponding chrysanthemum feeding component repeats the above gripping action. The flexible gripper gently grips the chrysanthemum within the picking area. Through the precise positioning of the linear module and the lower cylinder, the chrysanthemum is smoothly placed into the box inside the carrier cylinder, avoiding damage to the petals due to gripping force. After the chrysanthemums are filled, the rotary table continues to rotate to the box lid loading station. The third set of feeding components grips the box lid using the same logic, precisely placing it. At the top of the box containing chrysanthemums, the initial connection of the material assembly is completed. When the carrier cylinder containing the box, chrysanthemums, and lid moves to the pressing component station with the rotating table, the piston rod of the pressing cylinder extends downward when the carrier cylinder reaches the designated position, causing the rubber head at the bottom to contact the top of the lid. Continuous pressure is applied to tightly seal the lid and the box. The elastic material of the rubber head can effectively buffer the pressure and prevent the packaging box from being crushed or damaged. After pressing is completed, the pressing cylinder resets, and the rotating table carries the finished product away from the pressing station to enter the subsequent unloading stage. At the same time, a new carrier cylinder enters the station to realize continuous packaging operation.
