Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding mechanisms for seasoned noodle products, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for packaging seasoned noodle products. Background Technology

[0002] Spicy strips, also known as flavored noodle products, are ready-to-eat convenience foods made primarily from wheat flour with added food ingredients and additives, processed through ingredients, extrusion, and heat treatment. Most existing spicy strip packaging systems use a single packaging machine with a single hopper and conveyor belt feeding device. However, due to the fast output at the front end, each line requires two packaging machines, necessitating at least two people to manually grab the material into the hopper and two others to organize the material in the hopper before packaging. If the manual grabbing speed is slow, missed areas may occur. Furthermore, for multiple thin, long strips of spicy strips, manual grabbing easily leads to missed areas, making it inconvenient to put all the spicy strips into the hopper at once, thus reducing packaging quality and efficiency.

[0003] A search revealed a left-right feeding device for spicy strip packaging, with publication number CN218229565U. This device includes a feeding platform, a feeding mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a collection hopper. The feeding platform has a conveyor belt on top and a distribution trough located below the end of the conveyor belt. Electric feeding gates are located on the left and right sides of the distribution trough. The feeding mechanism includes an electric guide rail on the top of the feeding platform, a first electric telescopic rod on the side wall of the electric guide rail slide, and a scraper located at the output end of the first electric telescopic rod above the distribution trough. The feeding mechanism includes two transmission belts located below the electric feeding gates on the left and right sides, and hoppers located on top of the transmission belts. The collection hoppers are located below the ends of the transmission belts, and a discharge pipe is located below each collection hopper. This invention can maintain the stability of the number of spicy strips during feeding, avoiding errors from manual feeding, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] When the device in the disclosed patent is in use, the material feeding mechanism moves in a linear reciprocating motion. The linear reciprocating material feeding speed of the material feeding mechanism is low, which limits the number of material feeding tracks that can be used. In addition, multiple electric feeding gates feed material separately, which not only increases the cost of the equipment, but also increases the cost of the material feeding operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the technical problems in existing patents, such as the low linear reciprocating speed of the feeding mechanism during use, which limits the number of available feeding tracks, and the fact that multiple electric feeding gates feed material individually, increasing both equipment and feeding operation costs, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for packaging seasoned noodle products.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a feeding mechanism for packaging seasoned noodle products, including: a feeding platform, a feeding mechanism disposed on the feeding platform, a material distribution trough provided on the upper side of the feeding platform, the feeding mechanism including a belt conveyor rotatably engaged in the material distribution trough, a plurality of material feeding plates arrayed on the belt conveyor along the transmission direction, a plurality of material feeding components linearly arrayed in the material distribution trough, and a driving mechanism disposed at the bottom end of the feeding platform, the material feeding components including two material feeding plates rotatably engaged in opposite directions at the bottom end of the feeding platform, and a worm gear disposed at one end of the material feeding plate, the driving mechanism corresponding to the plurality of worm gears.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding platform is provided with a convex-shaped feeding groove corresponding to the feeding component. The convex-shaped feeding groove is connected to the material distribution groove, and the feeding plate is rotatably fitted in the convex-shaped feeding groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer sides of the two feeding plates in the feeding assembly are curved, and the lower inner sides of the two feeding plates in the feeding assembly are chamfered. The top surface of the inner wall of the convex-shaped feeding groove is curved and fits the feeding plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding platform is provided with a parts slot, one end of the unloading plate is provided with a rotating shaft, and the worm gear is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft that extends into the parts slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor located on one side of the feeding table, a transmission rod located at one end of the output shaft of the servo motor that extends into the part slot, and a bidirectional worm gear fixedly sleeved on the transmission rod and corresponding to the unloading assembly. The two ends of the bidirectional worm gear have opposite helical directions, and the two ends of the bidirectional worm gear respectively mesh with the two worm wheels in the unloading assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, a feeding trough is provided on the upper side of the feeding platform, the feeding trough is connected to the distributing trough, a conveyor is embedded in the feeding trough, a discharge funnel corresponding to the convex-shaped discharge trough is provided at the bottom of the feeding platform, the vertical cross section of the discharge funnel is an inverted convex-shaped structure, and multiple support legs are provided at the bottom of the feeding platform.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: By setting up a belt conveyor and a material-distributing plate, the cut spicy strips are conveyed to the distribution trough by the conveyor in the feeding trough. The belt conveyor drives the material-distributing plate to push the spicy strips to slide and distribute in the distribution trough, which facilitates the belt conveyor to drive the material-distributing plate to rotate and distribute in a cycle, thus improving the efficiency of multi-track distribution. By setting up a feeding assembly and a drive mechanism, the servo motor drives the transmission rod to rotate multiple bidirectional worm gears. The bidirectional worm gears drive two worm wheels in the feeding assembly to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The worm wheels drive the feeding plate to rotate and open the convex-shaped feeding slot through the rotating shaft. Then, a single drive mechanism drives multiple convex-shaped feeding slots to open simultaneously, which improves the synchronization of feeding and reduces feeding costs and equipment costs.

The material feeding components 203 include two material feeding plates 2031 rotatably coupled in opposite directions at the bottom end of the feeding platform 1 and a worm gear 2032 disposed at one end of the material feeding plate 2031. The drive mechanism 204 corresponds to the plurality of worm gears 2032.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding platform 1 is provided with a U-shaped feeding groove 102 corresponding to the feeding assembly 203. The U-shaped feeding groove 102 is connected to the distributing groove 101. The feeding plate 2031 is rotatably fitted in the U-shaped feeding groove 102. The outer sides of the two feeding plates 2031 in the feeding assembly 203 are curved. The lower inner sides of the two feeding plates 2031 in the feeding assembly 203 are chamfered. The top surface of the inner wall of the U-shaped feeding groove 102 is curved and fits against the feeding plate 2031, which makes it easy to maintain the continuity between the upper side of the feeding plate 2031 and the bottom surface of the inner wall of the distributing groove 101 when the feeding plate 2031 rotates, and facilitates the convenient movement of the spicy strips in the distributing groove 101.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding table 1 is provided with a part slot 103, and one end of the unloading plate 2031 is provided with a rotating shaft 2033.

[0022] Working principle: After being cut, the spicy strips are conveyed to the distribution trough 101 by the conveyor 105 in the feeding trough 104. The belt conveyor 201 drives the material-pulling plate 202 to push the spicy strips to slide and distribute them in the distribution trough 101, which facilitates the belt conveyor 201 to drive the material-pulling plate 202 to rotate and distribute the material, improving the efficiency of multi-track distribution. The servo motor 2041 drives the transmission rod 2042 to drive multiple bidirectional worm gears 2043 to rotate.

The worm wheels 2032 drive the feeding plate 2031 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2033 to open the convex-shaped feeding trough 102. Then, through a single drive mechanism 204, multiple convex-shaped feeding troughs 102 are opened simultaneously, which facilitates the synchronization of material falling, reduces material falling costs and equipment costs. The spicy strips enter the feeding funnel 106 through the convex-shaped feeding trough 102 and fall through the lower part of the feeding funnel 106 to complete the feeding work.
