Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pet food processing, and in particular to a pet food processing labeling device. Background Technology

[0002] Pet food is an industrially processed nutritional product specifically designed for dogs, cats, and other pets. It falls between human food and traditional livestock feed, aiming to meet the comprehensive nutritional needs of pets at different life stages. Based on function, it can be divided into three main categories: complete staple food, nutritional supplements, and treats, with complete staple food dominating the market. Its core characteristics include scientifically formulated ingredients, convenient feeding, and the ability to prevent specific diseases, such as by adding probiotics to improve gut health. From a supply chain perspective, it relies on raw materials such as grains and meat upstream, and spans the entire pet life cycle downstream, exhibiting high repurchase rates and strong customer loyalty.

[0003] Pet food is mostly packaged in plastic bags. After packaging, labels need to be affixed to the surface of the plastic bags. Traditional labeling devices do not have the function of flattening the plastic bags, and the top of the plastic bags containing pet food is prone to large wrinkles, which leads to poor label stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that large wrinkles easily appear at the top of plastic bags containing pet food, leading to poor label stability, this application provides a pet food processing and labeling device.

[0005] The pet food processing and labeling device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A pet food processing and labeling device includes a base, a conveyor belt disposed within the inner cavity of the base, a labeling device body fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a leveling mechanism located on the left side of the labeling device body and a flattening mechanism located on the right side of the labeling device body on the top of the base; the leveling mechanism includes a support frame fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a center plate fixedly mounted at the end of the support frame, a limit rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the center plate, a pressure plate fixedly mounted at the bottom of the limit rod, and a cylinder fixedly mounted on the top of the center plate.

[0007] Preferably, a sealing slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder, and an elastic element is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing slider, the elastic element being fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the elastic force of the elastic element will drive the sealing slider to move upward, which facilitates the pressure plate to perform the upward repositioning action.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the sealing slider is in movable contact with the top of the inner wall of the cylinder, and a sliding rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing slider. The bottom of the sliding rod extends to the bottom of the middle plate seat and is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and through the design of the slide bar, the pressure plate can be limited to move up and down.

[0011] Preferably, a square tube is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder, a first electric valve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the square tube, and a second electric valve is fixedly connected to the top of the square tube.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and through the design of electric valve No. 1 and electric valve No. 2, it is convenient for users to control the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate.

[0013] Preferably, the leveling mechanism includes a support column, which is fixedly installed on the top of the base. An adjusting sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column, and a positioning bolt is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve. The threaded end of the positioning bolt movably abuts against the outer wall of the support column.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the overall height of the pressure roller can be adjusted for plastic bags of different thicknesses. During adjustment, the positioning bolt can be loosened and the adjusting sleeve can be slid on the outer wall of the support column.

[0015] Preferably, a crossbeam is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve, a vertical rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the crossbeam, a movable frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical rod, and a pressure roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable frame.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pet food plastic bag moves to the flattening mechanism, it will push the pressure roller upward, causing the pressure roller to roll on the top of the pet food plastic bag. Through the overall gravity of the pressure roller, the attached label can be pressed down, improving the stability of the label.

[0017] Preferably, a circular block is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical rod, the circular block movably abuts against the top of the crossbeam, a wedge arm is fixedly installed at the top of the circular block, and a counterweight is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the wedge arm.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, users can fill an appropriate number of counterweights into the inner cavity of the fitting arm to adjust the overall downward pressure of the pressure roller.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] Through the overall design of the leveling mechanism, when the pet food plastic bags conveyed on the conveyor belt move to the bottom of the leveling mechanism, the cylinder can be driven to extend once, causing the pressure plate to press down on the top of the plastic bag, thus achieving the function of flattening the top of the plastic bag and improving the stability of subsequent labeling. During the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate, the limit rod will slide on the middle plate seat to increase the stability of the pressure plate and ensure the flattening effect.

A cylinder 23 is fixedly installed at the top. In use, this structure is integrated into the pet food production line. The cylinder 23 is controlled by a PLC controller. When the pet food plastic bag conveyed on the conveyor belt 11 moves to the bottom of the flattening mechanism 2, the cylinder 23 can be extended once, causing the pressure plate 24 to press down on the top of the plastic bag, thus flattening the top of the plastic bag and improving the stability of subsequent labeling. During the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 24, the limit rod 25 will slide on the middle plate seat 22 to increase the stability of the pressure plate 24 and ensure the flattening effect.

[0031] A sealing slider 232 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 23. An elastic element 231 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing slider 232. The top of the sealing slider 232 is in movable contact with the top of the inner wall of the cylinder 23. A sliding rod 233 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing slider 232. The bottom of the sliding rod 233 extends to the bottom of the middle plate seat 22 and is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 24. A square tube 234 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 23. An electric valve 235 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the square tube 234. A second electric valve 236 is fixedly connected to the top of 34. The end of the first electric valve 235 is connected to an external air source. By controlling the opening of the first electric valve 235, the external air source can supply air into the inner cavity of the square tube 234 and the cylinder 23, pushing the sealing slider 232 downward and compressing the elastic element 231, causing the pressure plate 24 to press down. Then, the first electric valve 235 is closed to control the opening of the second electric valve 236. Through the elastic force of the elastic element 231, the sealing slider 232 will be moved upward, causing the pressure plate 24 to move upward and reset. Then, the second electric valve 236 is closed.

[0032] The leveling mechanism 3 includes a support column 31, which is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. An adjusting sleeve 32 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column 31, and a positioning bolt 33 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve 32. The threaded end of the positioning bolt 33 movably abuts against the outer wall of the support column 31. A crossbeam 34 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve 32, and a vertical rod 35 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the crossbeam 34. A movable frame 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical rod 35, and a pressure roller 37 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable frame 36. A circular block 351 is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical rod 35, and the circular block 351 movably abuts against the top of the crossbeam 34. A engagement arm 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the circular block 351. 52. A counterweight 353 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the fitting arm 352. When the pet food plastic bag moves to the flattening mechanism 3, it will push the pressure roller 37 upward, causing the pressure roller 37 to roll on top of the pet food plastic bag. Through the overall gravity of the pressure roller 37, the attached label can be pressed down, improving the stability of the label. The overall height of the pressure roller 37 can be adjusted for plastic bags of different thicknesses. To adjust, loosen the positioning bolt 33 and then slide the adjusting sleeve 32 on the outer wall of the support column 31. After adjustment, tighten the positioning bolt 33. Users can fill an appropriate number of counterweights 353 into the inner cavity of the fitting arm 352 to adjust the overall downward pressure of the pressure roller 37.

[0033] The implementation principle of the pet food processing labeling device in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, this structure is integrated into the pet food production line. When the pet food plastic bag conveyed on the conveyor belt 11 moves to below the leveling mechanism 2, the first electric valve 235 is opened, allowing an external air source to supply air into the square tube 234 and the inner cavity of the cylinder 23. This pushes the sealing slider 232 downwards, causing the pressure plate 24 to press down. Subsequently, the first electric valve 235 is closed, and the second electric valve 236 is opened, utilizing the elastic force of the elastic element 231. This will cause the sealing slider 232 to move upward, causing the pressure plate 24 to move upward and reset, and then close the second electric valve 236, thus realizing the function of flattening the top of the plastic bag, improving the stability of subsequent labeling. Then the labeling device body 12 performs the labeling function. When the pet food plastic bag moves to the flattening mechanism 3, it will push the pressure roller 37 upward, causing the pressure roller 37 to roll on the top of the pet food plastic bag. Through the overall gravity of the pressure roller 37, the attached label can be pressed down, improving the stability of the label.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
