Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fruit fork production and packaging equipment, and in particular relates to a canning machine for fruit fork packaging. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, before eating large fruits like watermelons and cantaloupes, it's necessary to peel and cut them into small pieces for easier consumption. To avoid getting your hands covered in fruit juice, disposable toothpicks or fruit forks can be used to pick up the fruit. Toothpicks are simple in structure and mainly used for picking teeth, but fruit can easily slip when picking it up. Fruit forks are specifically designed for picking up fruit; the fork has a split fork at the tip, preventing the fruit from slipping when picking it up.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number CN202023141223.X discloses a semi-automatic toothpick filling machine, which includes a frame, a hopper, a feeding channel, a first material chamber, a pushing mechanism, a first locking mechanism, and a second locking mechanism. The hopper is used to hold toothpicks. The feeding channel includes a discharge chamber and a second material chamber. The discharge chamber, the second material chamber, and the first material chamber are all arranged in the frame and connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first locking mechanism is used to control the connection between the first material chamber and the second material chamber. The second locking mechanism is used to control the connection between the second material chamber and the discharge chamber. The pushing mechanism is used to push the toothpicks in the first material chamber out from the other end of the first material chamber. The operator holds a toothpick tube at the end of the first material chamber away from the pushing mechanism to receive the pushed toothpicks, which has the effect of improving the filling efficiency of toothpicks.

[0004] However, fruit forks are more complex in structure than toothpicks. When feeding, fruit forks can easily get stuck together and block the feeding port. Therefore, they cannot be directly filled using the semi-automatic toothpick filling machine mentioned above. Manually grabbing the fruit forks and putting them into the bottles and cans is too inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above situation, a canning machine for packaging fruit forks is provided, which is highly efficient for filling bulk fruit forks into bottles and jars. Utility Model Content

[0019] The embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Exemplary embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, the canning machine for packaging fruit forks of this utility model includes a frame 1, a hopper 2 fixed on the frame 1, a feeding channel 3 communicating with the lower end of the hopper 2 on the frame 1, a first material cavity 4 with openings at both ends at the lower end of the feeding channel 3, a pushing mechanism 5 for pushing the fruit forks out of the first material cavity 4 on the frame 1, and a first locking mechanism 6 slidably mounted on the frame 1 for controlling the connection and disconnection between the feeding channel 3 and the first material cavity 4. A vibrating device 8 is provided in the feeding channel 3, and the vibrating device 8 and the first locking mechanism 6 are connected. A second material chamber 9 is provided between the locking mechanism 6 and the second material chamber 9. A second locking mechanism 7 is slidably provided between the vibrating device 8 and the second material chamber 9 to control the opening and closing of the connection between the vibrating device 8 and the second material chamber 9. Loose fruit forks enter the vibrating device 8 from the hopper 2. After the vibrating device 8 vibrates and arranges them, they enter the second material chamber 9 and then enter the first material chamber 4. The pushing mechanism 5 pushes the fruit forks in the first material chamber 4 into the bottle. There is also a gap between the vibrating device 8 and the second locking mechanism 7 that is smaller than the thickness of the fruit forks. When the vibrating device 8 vibrates, other mechanisms are not easily vibrated.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the vibrating device 8 preferably includes two parallel support plates 81. Each support plate 81 has a damping mechanism 82 at both ends of its bottom. Each damping mechanism 82 is fixed to the frame 1. The damping mechanism 82 reduces the vibration of the frame 1 caused by the vibrating device 8. Two parallel vibrating side plates 83 are fixed to the upper part between the two support plates 81. The two support plates 81 and the two vibrating side plates 83 together form a rectangular channel, the size of which is the same as the lower end of the hopper 2. The inner sides of the two vibrating side plates 83 are provided with several symmetrical slots. 831, the distance between two adjacent slots 831 is greater than the width of the fruit fork and less than the length of the fruit fork. Each slot 831 is fitted with a mold piece 86 that fits the slot 831. The bottom of each of the two vibrating side plates 83 is fixed with a support strip 85 for supporting the mold piece 86. The two support strips 85 support the two ends of the bottom of all the mold pieces 86 to prevent the mold pieces 86 from falling down. A vibration motor 87 is fixed to the outside of one of the vibrating side plates 83. The vibration motor 87 drives the vibrating side plate 83 and the mold piece 86 to vibrate. The fruit fork is vibrated by the mold piece 86 from a scattered state and falls longitudinally into the gap between the mold pieces 86.

[0021] In this embodiment, by creating several slots 831 and inserting mold pieces 86 that are compatible with each slot 831, the number of different fruit forks that can be canned can be customized by replacing, filling, changing the arrangement, and the number of mold pieces.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the shock absorption mechanism 82 is preferably a cylindrical rubber pad, but a spring device or other structure can also be used for shock absorption.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the second material chamber 9 includes a front side plate 91 and a rear side plate 92, both fixed on the frame 1. The front side plate 91 and the rear side plate 92 are respectively disposed at the pushing end and the discharging end of the first material chamber 4. The front side plate 91 is provided with a relief opening 911 that is adapted to the size of the first material chamber 4, and the rear side plate 92 is provided with a relief opening 921 that is adapted to the size of the first material chamber 4. Two triangular blocks 93 are symmetrically arranged between the vibrating device 8 and the first locking mechanism 6. The two ends of the two triangular blocks 93 are respectively fixed on the front side plate 91 and the rear side plate 92. The front side plate 91, the rear side plate 92 and the two triangular blocks 93 form a second material chamber 9 with an isosceles trapezoidal cross section. The second material chamber 9 has a larger upper opening and a smaller lower opening, so that the fruit fork coming down from the vibrating device 8 can be introduced into the first material chamber 4.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the second locking mechanism 7 preferably includes a fixed material cylinder 71 fixed to the front side plate 91. A fixed material plate 72 is fixed to the cylinder rod end of the fixed material cylinder 71. The fixed material plate 72 can move in and out of the gap between the vibrating device 8 and the triangular block 93. When the vibrating device 8 vibrates, the fixed material plate 72 moves under the action of the fixed material cylinder 71 to support the fruit forks in the vibrating device 8. When the fruit forks in the vibrating device 8 are full, and there are no fruit forks in the second material cavity 9, the fixed material plate 72 moves out, and the fruit forks in the vibrating device 8 fall into the second material cavity 9.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the first locking mechanism 6 includes two sets of locking components 61 arranged symmetrically. Each set of locking components 61 includes a gate plate 611 and a sliding cylinder 612. The two sliding cylinders 612 are fixed to the frame 1 in opposite directions. The two gate plates 611 are respectively fixed to the sliding ends of the two sliding cylinders 612. The abutting ends of the two gate plates 611 are respectively provided with two mutually interlocking gate openings 613. When the two gate plates 611 move towards each other to abut each other, the two gate openings 613 interlock to block the channel between the feed channel 3 and the first material chamber 4. The two gate openings 613 can easily push the fruit fork up and down, and the two gate plates 611 cannot easily block the fruit fork.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, based on the above structure, preferably, the bottom of the abutting ends of the two gate plates 611 are provided with an arc-shaped surface 614 that matches the shape of the first material cavity 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped surface design allows the interlocking parts of the left and right gate plates 611 to form a cylindrical first material cavity 4, thereby enabling the fruit fork to fill the jar while preventing the material from getting stuck.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a feeding cylinder 51 fixed on the frame 1. A feeding component 52 is fixed to the cylinder rod end of the feeding cylinder 51. The feeding end of the first material chamber 4 is provided with a guide cylinder 53 of the same size as the first material chamber 4. The feeding cylinder 51 drives the feeding component 52. The feeding component 52 slides within the guide cylinder 53 and the first material chamber 4. The outer side of the feeding component 52 is attached to the inner sidewall of the guide cylinder 53. The feeding component 52, the guide cylinder 53, and the first material chamber 4 are coaxially arranged. The feeding component 52 is pushed from inside the guide cylinder 53 to the discharge end of the first material chamber 4 along the axial direction of the guide cylinder 53. The worker holds the bottle or can at the discharge end of the first material chamber 4 to receive the pushed-out fruit fork.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the capacity of the vibrating device 8 for accommodating fruit forks is adapted to the capacity of the first feeding chamber 4, so that the fruit forks in the bottle or can are not too few or not enough. The capacity of the hopper 2 is greater than the capacity of the vibrating device 8, ensuring that the vibrating device 8 is filled with fruit forks. The capacity of the second feeding chamber 9 is greater than the capacity of the vibrating device 8, ensuring that the feeding channel 3 is not easily blocked.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the front and rear plates of the hopper 2 are preferably arranged parallel to each other, and the distance between the front and rear plates is adapted to the length of the fruit fork. For ease of observation, preferably, the front and / or rear plates of the hopper 2 are made of a transparent material.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the vibrating device 8 and the second material chamber 9 are cut off under the action of the second locking mechanism 7, and the second material chamber 9 and the first material chamber 4 are cut off under the action of the first locking mechanism 6. The pushing mechanism 5 is in the unpushed state. The worker pours the bulk fruit forks into the hopper 2. The vibrating device 8 vibrates the bulk fruit forks into the gap between the mold plates 86. After vibrating for a certain period of time, the gap is filled. Then, the second locking mechanism 7 is opened to connect the vibrating device 8 and the second material chamber 9. The fruit forks in the gap between the mold plates 86 fall into the second material chamber 9. After a set time, the second locking mechanism 7 is closed, cutting off the vibrating device 8 and the second material chamber 9. Then, the first locking mechanism 6 is opened, connecting the second material chamber 9 and the first material chamber 4. The fruit fork falls into the first material chamber 4. The first locking mechanism 6 is then closed, cutting off the connection between the second material chamber 9 and the first material chamber 4. The worker holds the bottle or can and aligns the bottle or can opening with the discharge end of the first material chamber 4. The pushing mechanism 5 pushes the fruit fork in the first material chamber 4 into the bottle or can and then returns, completing one filling of the fruit fork. The above actions are repeated to continuously fill fruit forks, and the hopper 2 is replenished with fruit forks in a timely manner. It should be noted that the above "set time" can be manually controlled or automatically controlled using conventional methods existing in this industry, such as timers, control circuits, or PLC controllers.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
