Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery technology, and in particular to an automatic filling device for an ice cream egg tray machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated production and processing of ice cream cones, the key step in determining product quality and production efficiency is to inject the batter into a high-temperature mold for baking and shaping. Currently, traditional cone production lines mostly use manual injection or simple fixed injection equipment for the injection process.

[0003] However, manual filling is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to precisely control the amount of filling in each egg tray mold, resulting in waste of raw materials and uneven product thickness, which affects the taste. While existing fixed filling equipment can achieve batch filling to some extent, its filling components are rigidly fixed directly above the mold table and cannot move. This structural design has significant drawbacks. When the high-temperature mold needs to be cleaned and maintained after filling and the finished egg trays need to be removed, the fixed filling components will block the operating space, making subsequent operations extremely inconvenient. In addition, existing equipment lacks a drive mechanism that can automatically adjust the filling position, making it difficult to achieve quick and accurate alignment of the filling nozzle with the mold hole during filling and automatic avoidance when not filling.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes an automatic filling device for an ice cream cone machine to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the automatic filling device of ice cream egg tray machine, such as the fixed filling component being difficult to move, resulting in obstructed space for mold cleaning and maintenance, poor operation convenience, and lack of a drive mechanism that can automatically and accurately switch between filling and avoidance positions, this utility model aims to provide an automatic filling device for ice cream egg tray machine with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0006] This utility model provides an automatic filling device for an ice cream egg tray machine, including: a device base, a support base, a support frame, a connecting crossbar, a connecting rod, and a mold table.

[0007] The device base is fixedly connected to the top of the support seat, the support frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the support seat, the connecting crossbar is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting crossbar, the mold table is fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the support seat, and the mold table has a mold hole inside.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting rod, the support plate, and the moving cylinder are combined through a specific sliding drive structure. Multiple limiting platforms are fixedly connected to the top of the lower side of the connecting rod, and a discharge cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of each limiting platform. The support plate is slidably connected to the top of each limiting platform. The moving cylinder is fixedly connected to the right side of the support plate. The moving cylinder drives the support plate to reciprocate on the multiple limiting platforms. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the support plate. A storage pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the guide rod. The left and right sides of the storage pipe are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the connecting plate, respectively. A filling nozzle is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the storage pipe. The guide rod is connected to a feeding pipeline assembly, which is connected to the discharge cylinder and the storage device.

[0009] Preferably, the material conveying pipeline assembly includes a second check valve, a discharge pipe, and a first check valve. The right side of the guide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the second check valve, the other side of the second check valve is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe, and the other side of the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the first check valve.

[0010] Preferably, the middle part of the outer wall of the check valve is fixedly connected to the right side of the discharge cylinder, and the rear end of the check valve is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the storage tank. This structure realizes a compact connection between the power source and the storage source.

[0011] Preferably, the feed pipe is a flexible hose. By using a soft material, it can accommodate the horizontal reciprocating movement of the guide rod with the support plate relative to the plurality of limiting platforms, preventing interference or breakage of the pipeline due to rigid connection.

[0012] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the connecting crossbar are fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the right end of the support frame, and the bottom of the connecting crossbar is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod, thereby constructing a stable suspension support frame.

[0013] Preferably, the right side of the support plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the moving cylinder, and the top inner wall of the support plate is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the guide rod, ensuring that the driving force can be smoothly transmitted to the fluid distribution component.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom left side of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tube, and the top of the outer wall of the storage tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the injection nozzle, forming a fluid channel from horizontal diversion to vertical injection.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the support base is fixedly connected to the top of the device base, and the inner side of the top of the support base is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame away from it, thus ensuring the basic stability of the entire device.

[0016] Preferably, when the movable cylinder is in the non-extended stage, the storage tube and the injection nozzle are located on the right side of the support base; when the movable cylinder is extended, the injection nozzles are respectively aligned with the model holes, realizing automatic switching between working state and avoidance state.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model solves the problems of inconvenient mold cleaning and low efficiency of manual alignment caused by the fixed position of the injection device in the prior art, by setting a moving cylinder to drive the support plate to drive the injection component to perform horizontal reciprocating motion on multiple limit platforms. It achieves the ability of the injection nozzle to flexibly and automatically switch between the injection station and the avoidance station, which not only realizes the precise alignment of the injection nozzle with the mold hole for injection, but also makes room above the mold platform for cleaning and maintenance when not in operation, which significantly improves the degree of production automation and the convenience of operation.

[0019] 2. This utility model, by adopting a pumping and feeding system with a discharge cylinder and double check valves for inlet and outlet, solves the problems of easy backflow and unstable injection volume control of fluid raw materials during the transportation process in the prior art. It achieves automatic quantitative extraction and high-pressure injection of raw materials by using the reciprocating suction and discharge action of the discharge cylinder in conjunction with the one-way shut-off function of the check valve. This ensures that the fluid transportation direction is unidirectional and the injection volume is constant in each injection process, effectively improving the consistency and pass rate of ice cream egg tray products.

[0020] 3. This utility model connects multiple storage tubes and multiple injection nozzles to form an array-type distribution structure through a guide rod, which solves the problems of low production efficiency of single-hole injection and uneven material distribution in multi-hole injection in the prior art. It achieves the ability to synchronously and quickly inject multiple mold holes on the mold table at one time. Moreover, through the flow diversion effect of the guide rod, it ensures that the amount of raw material output from each injection nozzle is equal, which greatly improves the large-scale production capacity and operating efficiency of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in 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 a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. 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.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an automatic filling device for an ice cream cone machine, which aims to solve the structural defects in the existing ice cream cone production process, such as low efficiency due to reliance on manual alignment, unstable filling volume control, and inability to achieve simultaneous and accurate filling of multiple mold holes.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic filling device for the ice cream tray machine includes a device base 1 and a support seat 2 fixedly installed on the top of the device base 1. The device base 1 provides stable ground support for the entire device. The bottom of the support seat 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the device base 1. The inner side of the top of the support seat 2 is fixedly connected to the side away from the multiple support frames 3. The multiple support frames 3 extend vertically upward to construct the upper installation space. The adjacent right side of the multiple support frames 3 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting crossbar 4. The bottom of the connecting crossbar 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 5. The connecting rod 5 serves as a suspension component to position the filling core mechanism above the working area. Through the mutual connection and cooperation of the device base 1, support seat 2, support frame 3, connecting crossbar 4 and connecting rod 5, a portal frame system with high structural strength is constructed.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the left and right sides of the support base 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mold table 16, respectively. The mold table 16 is stably erected in the internal space of the support base 2. The mold table 16 has multiple model holes 17 arranged in an array inside. The model holes 17 are used to receive the injection and form the ice cream egg tray product. The top of the lower side of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple limiting platforms 18. The multiple limiting platforms 18 are suspended above the mold table 16. The bottom of the multiple limiting platforms 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge cylinder 6. The discharge cylinder 6 is fixedly inverted as the injection power generating device. The top of the multiple limiting platforms 18 is slidably connected to the bottom of the support plate 10. The support plate 10 can move back and forth horizontally on the upper surface of the multiple limiting platforms 18. The right side of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the moving cylinder 11. The moving cylinder 11 is configured as the power source for position switching to drive the support plate 10 to change its position relative to the multiple limiting platforms 18, thereby driving the subsequent injection components to switch between the injection station and the avoidance station.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the top inner wall of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the guide rod 12. The guide rod 12, as the main fluid distribution beam, moves synchronously with the support plate 10. The bottom left side of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of multiple storage tubes 13. The left and right sides of the multiple storage tubes 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the adjacent side of multiple connecting plates 14. The connecting plates 14 are used to enhance the structural rigidity between the multiple storage tubes 13 and maintain a constant spacing. The top of the outer wall of the multiple storage tubes 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple injection nozzles 15. The inside of the injection nozzles 15 is connected to the inside of the storage tubes 13. The position of the injection nozzles 15 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the model hole 17 on the mold table 16. By moving the support plate 10 through the moving cylinder 11, the injection nozzles 15 can be precisely aligned with or moved out of the model hole 17.

[0033] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the core of the technical solution of this embodiment is that the filling component of the automatic filling device of the ice cream egg tray machine can achieve precise horizontal displacement by being driven by the moving cylinder 11, and achieve automated filling through a feeding system consisting of a discharge cylinder 6, a first check valve 7, a discharge pipe 8, a second check valve 9 and a storage tank 19.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The core of the feeding system is the discharge cylinder 6, which is fixed to the bottom of multiple limiting platforms 18 as a power source. The guide rod 12 is fixed to the top of the movable support plate 10 as a fluid distribution component. The discharge cylinder 6 and the guide rod 12 are connected by a set of pipeline components. The pipeline components include a discharge pipe 8 and check valve 7 and check valve 9 respectively set at both ends of the discharge pipe 8. The right side of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the side of check valve 9. The other side of check valve 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe 8. The other side of the discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of check valve 7. The middle of the outer wall of check valve 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of discharge cylinder 6. The rear end of check valve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of storage tank 19. Storage tank 19 is used to store the egg tray raw materials to be injected.

[0035] To ensure that the fluid pipeline does not interfere or get damaged when the mobile feeding mechanism is in motion, the discharge pipe 8 connecting the stationary discharge cylinder 6 and the moving guide rod 12 is specifically implemented as a flexible hose. This flexible hose connection can effectively absorb and compensate for the displacement generated when the support plate 10 moves horizontally, ensuring the continuity of fluid delivery and the reliability of the mechanism's movement. The check valve 1 7 and check valve 2 9 form a one-way flow channel, ensuring that the material can only be pressed from the storage tank 19 through the discharge cylinder 6 to the guide rod 12, and will not flow back.

[0036] When the injection action is performed, the discharge cylinder 6 first performs the suction stroke, using negative pressure to suck the raw material inside the storage tank 19 into the cavity of the discharge cylinder 6 through the check valve 17. Then, the discharge cylinder 6 performs the discharge stroke, pressurizing the raw material in the cavity. The material is forced to push open the check valve 29 and is then evenly distributed to multiple storage pipes 13 and injection nozzles 15 through the discharge pipe 8 and guide rod 12, completing the injection into the model hole 17.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, to further clarify the specific composition of the material supply pipeline, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The material conveying pipeline assembly specifically includes check valve 2 9, discharge pipe 8 and check valve 1 7. The right side of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of check valve 2 9, the other side of check valve 2 9 is fixedly connected to one side of discharge pipe 8, and the other side of discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of check valve 1 7.

[0038] As a further specification of the aforementioned piping components, please refer to the following for constructing a complete material supply path: Figure 1 The middle part of the outer wall of the check valve 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the discharge cylinder 6, and the rear end of the check valve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the storage tank 19. This layout allows the discharge cylinder 6 to easily draw material from the storage tank 19 and pump it to the discharge pipe 8.

[0039] For further details on the device's frame structure, please refer to... Figure 1and Figure 2 The front and rear sides of the connecting crossbar 4 are fixedly connected to the adjacent right side of the multiple support frames 3, while the bottom of the connecting crossbar 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 5. This connection method ensures the stability and torsional resistance of the upper suspension mechanism.

[0040] For further explanation regarding the specific installation relationships of the mobile injection assembly, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The right side of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the moving cylinder 11, while the top inner wall of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the guide rod 12, ensuring that the pushing and pulling force of the moving cylinder 11 can be transmitted to the guide rod 12 without damage.

[0041] For further explanation of the installation structure of the injection nozzle 15, please refer to Figure 4 The bottom left side of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of multiple storage tubes 13, while the top of the outer wall of multiple storage tubes 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple injection nozzles 15, ensuring that the material is conveyed smoothly from the guide rod 12 to the injection nozzles 15.

[0042] As a supplement to the basic support structure, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the support base 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the device base 1, and the inner side of the top of the support base 2 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the multiple support frames 3. This connection method provides a stable and reliable installation foundation for the entire equipment.

[0043] As a further explanation of the working position of the device, the stroke of the moving cylinder 11 is precisely set. When the moving cylinder 11 is in the retracted stage without being extended, the multiple material storage tubes 13 and multiple injection nozzles 15 are positioned on the right side of the support base 2, i.e., the clearance position, which facilitates the cleaning or replacement of the mold table 16. When the moving cylinder 11 is extended, the injection assembly is pushed to the working position, so that the multiple injection nozzles 15 can be precisely moved to the top of the multiple mold holes 17.

[0044] Working principle: Before the injection operation begins, the moving cylinder 11 is in the retracted state without being extended. At this time, the support plate 10, the guide rod 12, the storage tube 13 and the injection nozzle 15 fixed on it are all in the standby position on the right side of the mold table 16, leaving space for the operation of the mold table 16.

[0045] When the injection program is started, the moving cylinder 11 extends and pushes the support plate 10 to slide to the left on multiple limit platforms 18 until multiple injection nozzles 15 are precisely moved to the top of multiple model holes 17 on the mold platform 16, completing the automatic alignment process.

[0046] After alignment, the discharge cylinder 6 starts the suction stroke, and the negative pressure is used to draw the material in the storage tank 19 into the cavity of the discharge cylinder 6 through the check valve 17. Due to the presence of the check valve 29, the material will not enter the discharge pipe 8 at this time.

[0047] Next, the discharge cylinder 6 performs the discharge stroke, compressing the material in the cavity. The strong pressure forces the material to push open the valve of check valve 2 9 and is transported to the guide rod 12 through the discharge pipe 8. The internal flow channel of the guide rod 12 evenly distributes the material into multiple storage pipes 13 connected to it. Finally, the material is simultaneously sprayed from multiple injection nozzles 15 and injected into the model hole 17 below, completing an efficient and quantitative multi-hole synchronous injection operation.
