Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic alignment device for the patterns on the body and lid of instant noodle containers. Background Technology

[0002] In containerized instant noodles, whether they are cup noodles or bucket noodles, the noodle cake and seasoning packet need to be placed inside the container during the packaging process, and the lid is pressed onto the container by a capping machine.

[0003] Currently, when the bucket body enters the capping machine for capping, the relative positions of the patterns on the bucket body and the patterns on the lid are mostly different. This is because the relative positions of the bucket body and the lid are random during the production process. As a result, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the outer wall patterns of the two after the lid is pressed onto the bucket body, which affects the aesthetics. To address this, we propose an automatic alignment device for the patterns on the bucket body and lid of instant noodles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic alignment device for the patterns on the body and lid of instant noodle containers, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic alignment device for the patterns on the body and lid of instant noodle containers, including a capping machine, an alignment mechanism mounted on the capping machine, and an operation control box for controlling the alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism includes:

[0006] A frame plate, wherein the frame plate is provided with a barrel body adjustment mechanism, which drives the barrel body to rotate and adjust the position of the pattern;

Each barrel adjustment mechanism has a photoelectric sensor frame fixed to the frame plate on one side, and the color mark detection photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the photoelectric sensor frame.

[0010] Preferably, the frame plate is provided with a photoelectric sensor beam fixed to the capping machine, and there are multiple photoelectric sensors on the photoelectric sensor beam, each corresponding to the position of each barrel body adjustment mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the barrel adjustment mechanism includes:

[0012] A rotary bearing housing is fixedly mounted on a frame plate. A vacuum suction cup is rotatably mounted on the top of the rotary bearing housing. One end of the vacuum suction cup extends to the bottom of the frame plate and is connected to a rotary vacuum connector.

[0013] A drive mechanism is mounted on the frame plate and is used to drive the vacuum suction cup to rotate on the rotary bearing seat.

[0014] A lifting mechanism is provided at the bottom of the frame plate, which drives the frame plate and the barrel adjustment mechanism on it to rise and fall.

[0015] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes:

[0016] A rotary servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame plate, and the rotating end of the rotary servo motor passes through the top end of the frame plate and is fixedly connected to a drive gear.

[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] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 The automatic alignment device for the patterns on the body and lid of the instant noodle container shown includes a capping machine 100, an alignment mechanism 200 mounted on the capping machine 100, and an operation control box 300 for controlling the alignment mechanism 200. Figure 1As shown, the capping machine 100 uses a chain drive to intermittently move the aluminum template carrying the can body, thus transferring the can body on the capping machine 100. The alignment mechanism 200 is installed on the frame of the capping machine 100, located in front of the capping mechanism. When the capping machine 100 transports the can body to a position above the alignment mechanism 200, the alignment mechanism 200 drives the can body to rotate, adjusting the position of the pattern on the outer wall and ensuring that the positions of all can lids on the capping machine 100 remain consistent. This ensures that after the can lid is pressed onto the can body, the patterns on both the can and the outer wall remain consistent, thereby improving packaging quality. For aesthetic purposes, the control box 300 can automatically start, stop, and operate the alignment mechanism 200 and the capping machine 100 according to the programming program, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the barrel pattern and improving work efficiency. Since the capping machine 100 and the control box 300 are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here. The alignment mechanism 200 includes a frame plate 201, a color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210, and a barrel inspection photoelectric sensor 213. The frame plate 201 is equipped with a barrel adjustment mechanism that drives the barrel to rotate and adjust the pattern position. The barrel adjustment mechanism on the frame plate 201 consists of multiple barrels spaced along a straight line. Each barrel adjustment mechanism has a photoelectric sensor frame 211 fixed to the frame plate 201 on one side. A color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210 is fixedly installed on the top of the photoelectric sensor frame 211. The color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210 is located on one side of the barrel adjustment mechanism to detect the position of the pattern on the barrel. A barrel inspection photoelectric sensor 213 is located in front of the frame plate 201 to detect the barrel's transport position. A photoelectric sensor beam 212 fixed to the capping machine 100 is located in front of the frame plate 201. Multiple barrel inspection photoelectric sensors 213 are located on the photoelectric sensor beam 212 and correspond to the position of each barrel adjustment mechanism. The frame plate 201... The number of barrel adjustment mechanisms on 01 is consistent with the number of barrels conveyed per row by the belt conveyor mechanism on capping machine 100, so that each barrel adjustment mechanism corresponds to each column of barrels, thus achieving position adjustment of all barrels being conveyed. The barrel inspection photoelectric sensor 213 detects whether the barrels conveyed on capping machine 100 have reached the position above the alignment mechanism 200, while the color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210 detects the outer wall of the barrel and determines whether the pattern on the outer wall of the barrel has reached the alignment position with the color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210 during the rotation process. In this way, precise control of the position adjustment of the pattern on the outer wall of the barrel can be achieved.

[0029] It should be noted that the barrel adjustment mechanism includes a rotary bearing seat 202, a drive mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The rotary bearing seat 202 is fixedly mounted on the frame plate 201. A vacuum suction cup 203 is rotatably mounted on the top of the rotary bearing seat 202. One end of the vacuum suction cup 203 extends to the bottom of the frame plate 201 and is connected to a rotary vacuum connector 204. The drive mechanism is located on the frame plate 201 and is used to drive the vacuum suction cup 203 to rotate on the rotary bearing seat 202. The lifting mechanism is located at the bottom of the frame plate 201 and drives the frame plate 201 and the barrel adjustment mechanism on it to rise and fall. In this embodiment, the barrel... The lid lifting mechanism raises the frame plate 201 upwards, allowing the vacuum suction cup 203 to contact the bottom of the barrel and adhere to it. Then, the lid driving mechanism drives the vacuum suction cup 203 and the barrel it adheres to to rotate. When the pattern on the outer wall of the barrel rotates to the position aligned with the color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210, the color mark detection photoelectric sensor 210 transmits the monitoring signal to the operation control box 300. The lid operation control box 300 controls the drive mechanism to stop, controls the lifting mechanism to descend, and controls the vacuum suction cup 203 to release its adhesion to the barrel. In this way, the position of the pattern on the outer wall of the barrel can be automatically adjusted.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a rotary servo motor 205, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame plate 201. The rotating end of the rotary servo motor 205 passes through the top of the frame plate 201 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 206. A transmission gear 207 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the vacuum suction cup 203, and the outer peripheral wall of the transmission gear 207 meshes with the outer peripheral wall of the drive gear 206. Further, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 209, with a cylinder seat 208 fixedly installed between the bottom of the lifting cylinder 209 and the capping machine 100. The telescopic end of the top of the lifting cylinder 209 is fixed to the bottom of the frame plate 201, driving the frame plate 201 and the barrel adjustment mechanism to rise and fall. The rotary servo motor 205 drives the drive gear 206 to rotate, utilizing the drive gear 206... The meshing action between the vacuum suction cup 203 and the transmission gear 207 drives the transmission gear 207 to rotate, thereby achieving the rotation drive of the vacuum suction cup 203. The rotary bearing seat 202 not only connects the vacuum suction cup 203 to the frame plate 201, but also meets the rotation requirements of the vacuum suction cup 203. The rotary vacuum connector 204 connects to the external air pipe, allowing the vacuum suction cup 203 to transfer gas through the rotary vacuum connector 204 during rotation. The lifting cylinder 209 controls the lifting and lowering of the frame plate 201, thereby lifting the entire structure on it upwards. This allows the vacuum suction cup 203 to be lifted and simultaneously detached from the belt conveyor mechanism on the capping machine 100, and to adhere and fix the barrel body, so that the barrel body can adjust the pattern position as the vacuum suction cup 203 rotates.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
