Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream packaging technology, and in particular to an automatic ice cream packaging mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated ice cream production, the boxing process, as a crucial link connecting production and packaging, directly determines the overall production line's capacity and product qualification rate through its efficiency and stability. With the increasing demand for diversified product specifications in the ice cream market (such as cup-packaged ice cream commonly available in different box sizes like "6 cups / box," "8 cups / box," and "12 cups / box"), the multi-lane boxing structure of existing automated ice cream boxing mechanisms has gradually revealed its inability to adapt to multi-specification production. In current mainstream automatic ice cream packing mechanisms, the guide plates on both sides of the inlet channel are directly welded to the frame or rigidly fixed with bolts. Once the spacing between the guide plates is formed, it cannot be adjusted. This structure can only be adapted to a single size of ice cream carton. If the packing size needs to be changed, the entire inlet channel assembly must be removed and the corresponding inlet channel must be installed. Because the corresponding number of guide plates needs to be reinstalled every time the packing size is changed, the ice cream packing efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic ice cream packing mechanism that can only be adapted to ice cream cartons of a single size. If the packing size needs to be changed, the entire carton loading channel assembly needs to be removed and the corresponding carton loading channel needs to be installed, which leads to low efficiency in adjusting the carton loading channel.

[0004] An automatic ice cream boxing mechanism includes: a boxing assembly, the boxing assembly including a conveyor roller, a boxing frame and a boxing gripper, the conveyor roller and the boxing gripper are both disposed inside the boxing frame, and the boxing gripper is located obliquely above the conveyor roller; An adjustment assembly includes a guide plate, a mounting frame, an adjustment column, and clamps. Several sets of the guide plate, mounting frame, and clamps are provided. The mounting frame is slidably mounted on the outer arc surface of the adjustment column via the clamps, and the guide plate is slidably mounted on one side of the corresponding mounting frame. An auxiliary component and an ice cream box, the auxiliary component including a baffle plate and a pre-loading plate, both of which are disposed inside the boxing frame.

[0005] In one embodiment, a connecting rod is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of several sets of guide plates, and a snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the snap-fit ​​block is configured as a convex block.

[0006] In one embodiment, several sets of mounting frames are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves on their sides corresponding to snap-fit ​​blocks. A lead screw is rotatably installed inside the snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​block is threadedly connected to the outer arc surface of the corresponding lead screw.

[0007] In one embodiment, the inner side of the packing frame is provided with a support plate for supporting two sets of adjustment columns, the clamp is sleeved on the outer arc surface of the adjustment column, and the clamp is fixedly set on the upper surface of the corresponding mounting frame.

[0008] In one embodiment, an adjustment groove is provided on the upper surface of the guide plate, and the mounting frame is located above the corresponding adjustment groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the conveyor roller is disposed inside the packing frame, and the guide plate is located above the conveyor roller.

[0010] In one embodiment, an electric push rod is provided on the inner side of the packing frame via an extension plate, and the baffle plate is fixedly disposed on the working end of the electric push rod.

[0011] In one embodiment, the pre-assembled plate is snapped onto the inside of the packing frame, and the baffle is located between the conveyor roller and the pre-assembled plate.

[0012] Beneficial effects 1. The above-mentioned automatic ice cream boxing mechanism slides the guide plate on one side of the mounting frame, thereby adjusting the height of the guide plate as needed. The unused guide plate is raised to a position away from the conveyor roller. The top of the mounting frame is slidably set on the outer arc surface of the adjusting column by clamps, thereby lowering the height of the guide plate to the surface of the conveyor roller for adjustment. When it is necessary to change the boxing specifications, it is not necessary to remove the entire boxing channel and there is no need to reinstall the guide plate, thereby improving the ice cream boxing efficiency.

[0013] 2. The above-mentioned automatic ice cream packing mechanism, by setting a pre-packing plate inside the packing frame and setting a baffle plate between the guide plate and the pre-packing plate, the conveyor rollers transport the ice cream into the pre-packing plate, and then the baffle plate blocks the subsequent ice cream. Then the packing gripper puts the ice cream inside the pre-packing plate into the ice cream box, thereby avoiding the packing gripper from rubbing against the guide plate when it descends, thus ensuring the stability of the ice cream packing process.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes an automatic ice cream packing mechanism.

[0019] In one embodiment, an automatic ice cream boxing mechanism includes: a boxing assembly 100, which includes a conveyor roller 101, a boxing frame 102, and a boxing gripper 103; both the conveyor roller 101 and the boxing gripper 103 are disposed inside the boxing frame 102, with the boxing gripper 103 located diagonally above the conveyor roller 101; an auxiliary assembly 300 and an ice cream box 400, the auxiliary assembly 300 including a baffle plate 301 and a pre-loading plate 302. Both the baffle plate 301 and the pre-loading plate 302 are located inside the box-packing frame 102; the conveyor roller 101 is located inside the box-packing frame 102, and the guide plate 201 is located above the conveyor roller 101; an electric push rod is provided inside the box-packing frame 102 through an extension plate, and the baffle plate 301 is fixedly located at the working end of the electric push rod; the pre-loading plate 302 is snapped into the inside of the box-packing frame 102, and the baffle plate 301 is located between the conveyor roller 101 and the pre-loading plate 302; In this embodiment, the packing gripper 103 can be of model SMCMHY2; the surface of the pre-packing plate 302 is provided with several sets of partitions and partition grooves corresponding to the partitions, so as to facilitate the insertion of the corresponding number of partitions when adjusting the packing specifications; the conveying roller 101 conveys the ice cream into the pre-packing plate 302. When the pre-packing plate 302 is full of ice cream, the electric push rod drives the baffle plate 301 to descend, thereby blocking the subsequent ice cream and preventing the ice cream from continuing to move towards the pre-packing plate 302; then the packing gripper 103 puts the ice cream inside the pre-packing plate 302 into the ice cream box 400, thereby preventing the packing gripper 103 from rubbing against the guide plate 201 and the baffle plate 301, thus ensuring the stability of the ice cream packing process.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 200 includes a guide plate 201, a mounting frame 202, an adjustment column 203, and a clamp 204. Several sets of the guide plate 201, the mounting frame 202, and the clamp 204 are provided. The mounting frame 202 is slidably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the adjustment column 203 through the clamp 204. The guide plate 201 is slidably set on one side of the corresponding mounting frame 202. The inner side of the packing frame 102 is provided with a support plate 206 for supporting two sets of adjustment columns 203. The clamp 204 is sleeved on the outer arc surface of the adjustment column 203 and is fixedly set on the upper surface of the corresponding mounting frame 202. In this embodiment, two sets of support plates 206 are provided to support the adjusting column 203. Then, a clamp 204 is sleeved on the outer arc surface of the adjusting column 203. After the clamp 204 is opened, it can slide on the outer arc surface of the adjusting column 203. After the position of the clamp 204 is adjusted, the clamp 204 is locked, and the clamp 204 is fixed relative to the adjusting column 203, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting frame 202 below, achieving the effect of adjusting the position of the guide plate 201, and thus ensuring that the position of the guide plate 201 can be adapted to different packing specifications.

[0021] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting rod 205 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the guide plate 201, and a snap-fit ​​block 207 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 205. The snap-fit ​​block 207 is a convex block. The sides of the mounting frame 202 are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves corresponding to the snap-fit ​​blocks 207. A lead screw 208 is rotatably installed inside the snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​block 207 is threaded to the outer arc surface of the corresponding lead screw 208. Several sets of guide plates 201 are provided with adjustment grooves 209 on their upper surfaces, and the mounting frame 202 is located above the corresponding adjustment grooves 209. In this embodiment, the locking block 207 is configured as a protrusion and moves inside the locking groove, thereby ensuring stability when adjusting the height of the guide plate 201. A motor or turntable is installed at the top of the lead screw 208 as needed. When a turntable is installed, an additional damping structure is added to prevent the lead screw 208 from rotating. Thus, the rotation of the lead screw 208 causes the locking block 207 to move up and down via the thread. The locking block 207, through the connecting rod 205, causes the guide plate 201 to move up and down. When the box specifications change, the required guide plate 201 is lowered to the surface of the conveyor roller 101, and the unnecessary guide plate 201 is raised. The raised guide plate 201 will not contact the ice cream, and an adjustment groove 209 is provided to ensure the range of movement of the connecting rod 205. This avoids the need to dismantle the entire box entry channel, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the guide plate 201.

[0022] Working principle: When the box specifications change, a corresponding number of partitions are inserted into the surface of the pre-packing plate 302. Then, the required guide plates 201 are lowered to the surface of the conveyor roller 101, and the unnecessary guide plates 201 are raised. The position of the guide plates 201 is adjusted according to the specifications of the ice cream box, so that the guide plates 201 are suitable for different box specifications. After the conveyor roller 101 conveys the ice cream into the pre-packing plate 302, the electric push rod drives the baffle plate 301 to descend, thereby blocking the subsequent ice cream. Then, the ice cream inside the pre-packing plate 302 is placed into the ice cream box 400 by the box gripper 103. The partitions on the surface of the pre-packing plate 302 do not contact the box gripper 103, thereby ensuring the stability of the ice cream boxing process.

[0023] It should be noted that the electric linear actuators and other devices mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technologies. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the electric linear actuator can be powered by a built-in power supply or by AC power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0024] The above 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 will 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.
