Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a rapid packaging equipment for fresh glutinous corn. Background Technology

[0002] Fresh waxy corn, a popular agricultural product among consumers, relies heavily on fast and efficient packaging for preservation and sales. A crucial step in the packaging process is feeding the processed fresh waxy corn into a packaging machine for quantitative packaging.

[0003] On existing packaging production lines, the feeding process is often done manually. Workers carry baskets filled with fresh glutinous corn to the top of the packaging machine's inlet and then manually empty them. This method is not only labor-intensive, but the feeding speed is also limited by manpower, making it difficult to match the production rhythm of high-speed automated packaging machines. As a result, it becomes an efficiency bottleneck in the entire packaging process, directly affecting the realization of "rapid packaging".

[0004] Furthermore, the manual pouring process lacks stability and precision. Since the pouring angle, speed, and height are all controlled manually, it is difficult to guarantee consistency in each operation, affecting the continuity and stability of the work. Therefore, this invention proposes a rapid packaging device for fresh glutinous corn to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a rapid packaging device for fresh glutinous corn, aiming to improve the problems of low automation in the feeding process, easy splashing of materials when pouring, and poor continuity and stability of operation in some existing rapid packaging devices for fresh glutinous corn. This utility model aims to provide a rapidly packaging device for fresh glutinous corn with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0006] This utility model provides a rapid packaging device for fresh glutinous corn, including a packaging device housing, an outer shell, and a feeding mechanism. The packaging device housing has a feeding port at its top. The outer shell is vertically fixed to one side of the packaging device housing. The feeding mechanism includes a material frame, a cylinder for driving the material frame, and sliding columns fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the material frame. The inner wall of the outer shell has a guide groove and a limiting groove, and the sliding columns are slidably connected to the guide groove and the limiting groove, respectively. One end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the lower part of the outer shell, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the material frame, providing the upward and downward driving force for the material frame through its telescopic movement. An inclined plate is fixedly connected inside the material frame. The inclined plate has a structure that slopes from the inner wall towards the center, which can assist the material in sliding smoothly out when the material frame is tilted, preventing jamming. The feeding mechanism also includes a locking assembly, which consists of a base fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell and adjacent to the feeding port, and a locking plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material frame. When the material frame is driven by the cylinder to tilt above the inlet, the clamping plate engages with the base to form a firm positioning, ensuring the stability and precise positioning of the material frame in the tilting position. This combination of cylinder drive, dual-track guidance, inclined plate-assisted discharge, and precise positioning with clamping components enables automatic, stable, and efficient feeding of fresh glutinous corn.

[0007] Preferably, to achieve a precise "lift then flip" composite motion trajectory for the material frame, the limiting groove consists of a vertical section and an arc segment connected to the top of the vertical section. Its special shape guides the sliding column to change its trajectory at a specific point, realizing the flipping action of the material frame. At the same time, the guide groove is a through groove that runs vertically through the material frame, continuously providing stable vertical guidance to the other side of the material frame.

[0008] Preferably, to prevent material from splashing and polluting the environment during the pouring process, this utility model also includes a splash-proof mechanism. The splash-proof mechanism is fixed around the periphery of the feed inlet and partially overlaps the outer shell, forming a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed material receiving space, effectively restricting the falling path of the material.

[0009] Furthermore, the splash-proof mechanism includes a flexible protective cover. The cover is funnel-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Its wide upper port completely covers the pouring area of ​​the material frame, ensuring all material is collected. Its lower port precisely connects to the inlet, accurately guiding the collected material into the packaging equipment housing to prevent spillage. The cover's flexibility allows its shape to be finely adjusted when fixed to adapt to different installation requirements or material characteristics.

[0010] Preferably, to securely fix the lower edge of the protective cover to the periphery of the inlet, the splash guard mechanism further includes a first fixing plate and a first screw. The lower edge of the protective cover is threaded onto the packaging equipment housing via the first screw passing through the first fixing plate, providing initial fixation and positioning.

[0011] Preferably, to further enhance the fixing strength and sealing performance between the lower edge of the protective cover and the periphery of the inlet, the splash-proof mechanism also includes a second fixing plate and a second screw. The lower edge of the protective cover is firmly clamped between the first and second fixing plates, and the second screw tightens the protective cover, forming a tight and stable connection with the inlet, effectively preventing material leakage from gaps.

[0012] Furthermore, to ensure the overall structural stability of the protective cover during operation and to prevent its upper part from swaying due to material impact or its own elastic deformation, the splash-proof mechanism also includes a reinforcing plate and reinforcing screws. The upper part of the protective cover is fixed to the outer shell by the reinforcing screws passing through the reinforcing plate, providing support and fixation for the upper end of the protective cover, thereby ensuring that the shape of the entire splash-proof mechanism remains stable and can effectively perform its splash-proof function.

[0013] Preferably, to ensure that the material can slide stably from the material frame, the inclined plate is located inside the material frame on the side near its opening, and is inclined from the inner wall towards the center to form a smooth inclined surface, which effectively guides the fresh glutinous corn to slide smoothly when poured, reducing the risk of jamming and blockage.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model solves the problems of manual labor, low efficiency, high labor intensity and unstable movement trajectory in the prior art by setting up a feeding mechanism in which the material frame is driven by a cylinder and guided by sliding columns in the guide groove and the limiting groove respectively. It achieves the technical effect of automatic feeding, smooth action and precise controllable path, and significantly improves the continuity of packaging.

[0016] 2. This utility model, through a splash-proof mechanism set around the feed inlet and fixed to the outer shell, uses its funnel-shaped protective cover to collect and guide the falling material, which solves the problem in the prior art that the material is prone to bouncing and splashing when poured, causing loss and pollution, and achieves the technical effect of effectively preventing material splashing, improving operational stability and site cleanliness.

[0017] 3. This utility model, by setting a snap-fit ​​component, enables the material frame to stably connect with the base when tilting, and with the inclined plate set inside the material frame to guide the material, solves the problems of inaccurate positioning and easy shaking when tilting, and the problem of fresh glutinous corn sticking and causing poor material discharge in the prior art. It achieves the technical effect of precise positioning and stable unloading, ensuring that all materials can smoothly enter the feed inlet. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a rapid packaging equipment for fresh glutinous corn, which aims to solve the problems of low automation in the feeding process, unstable pouring process that easily leads to material splashing and affects the continuity of packaging in the prior art.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the rapid packaging equipment for fresh glutinous corn includes a packaging equipment housing 1 and an outer shell 3 vertically fixed to one side of the packaging equipment housing 1. The packaging equipment housing 1 serves as the mounting base for the entire device, and an inlet 2 is provided on the top of the packaging equipment housing 1. The outer shell 3 is used to install and guide the feeding mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a material frame 42 for holding materials and a cylinder 41 for driving the material frame 42. Sliding columns 45 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the material frame 42. Corresponding to the sliding columns 45, a guide groove 43 and a limiting groove 44 are provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 3. The sliding columns 45 are slidably connected in the guide groove 43 and the limiting groove 44 respectively. One end of the cylinder 41 rotates and connects to the guide groove 43 and the limiting groove 44. The upper part is attached to the lower part of the outer shell 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the material frame 42. It provides driving force for the movement of the material frame 42 by telescoping. To ensure that the material can slide stably from the material frame 42, an inclined plate 46 is fixedly connected inside the material frame 42. The feeding mechanism 4 also includes a snap-fit ​​assembly 47, which consists of a base 472 and a snap-fit ​​plate 471. The base 472 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell 3 and adjacent to the inlet 2. The snap-fit ​​plate 471 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material frame 42. When the material frame 42 is driven by the cylinder 41 to the tilting position above the inlet 2, the snap-fit ​​plate 471 and the base 472 can snap into each other, thereby achieving precise positioning and stable support of the material frame 42.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 The guide groove 43 on the inner wall of the outer shell 3 is a through groove that runs vertically through the interior. The limiting groove 44 has a specific trajectory shape, consisting of a vertical section and an arc section connected to the top of the vertical section. During operation, the cylinder 41 is activated and pushes the material frame 42. The sliding columns 45 on both sides of the material frame 42 slide upward synchronously along the vertical sections of the guide groove 43 and the limiting groove 44, respectively, to achieve vertical lifting of the material frame 42. When the sliding column 45 located in the limiting groove 44 moves to the top of its vertical section, the sliding column 45 is forced to move along the trajectory of the arc section, while the sliding column 45 located in the guide groove 43 is still constrained in the vertical direction. This differential constraint of the dual tracks forces the material frame 42 to flip along the arc section of the limiting groove 44, thereby achieving the tilting action. This composite motion of "lifting first and then flipping" is precisely defined by the track structure, ensuring the stability and repeatability of the feeding process.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the splash guard 5 is fixed around the periphery of the feed inlet 2, and part of it overlaps the outer casing 3. It is used to receive and guide the material sliding down from the material frame 42. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 The main body of the splash-proof mechanism 5 is an elastic protective cover 51. The protective cover 51 is funnel-shaped with a wider top and a narrower bottom. Its opening faces the tilting direction of the feeding mechanism 4, and its lower port is connected to the inlet 2 to ensure that the material can be completely collected and fall into the packaging equipment housing 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The fixing components of the splash-proof mechanism 5 specifically include a first fixing plate 52 and a first screw 53. The lower edge of the protective cover 51 is threaded onto the packaging equipment housing 1 after passing through the first fixing plate 52 with the first screw 53. To achieve a more stable clamping and fixing, the splash-proof mechanism 5 also includes a second fixing plate 55 and a second screw 54. The lower edge of the protective cover 51 is clamped between the first fixing plate 52 and the second fixing plate 55 and further tightened by the second screw 54. To prevent the upper part of the protective cover 51 from shaking, the splash-proof mechanism 5 also includes a reinforcing plate 56 and a reinforcing screw 57. The upper part of the protective cover 51 is fixed to the housing 3 after passing through the reinforcing plate 56 with the reinforcing screw 57.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 The inclined plate 46 is specifically installed inside the material frame 42 on the side near its opening, and the inclined plate 46 is inclined from the inner wall to the center to form an inclined surface that guides the material to slide out.

[0034] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: In the initial state, the material is loaded into the material frame 42 located at the lower part of the outer shell 3; when the feeding is started, the cylinder 41 begins to extend, which is rotatably connected to the lower part of the outer shell 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the material frame 42. The thrust of the cylinder 41 drives the material frame 42 to move upward. During this process, the sliding columns 45 fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the material frame 42 slide synchronously in the vertical sections of the guide groove 43 and the limiting groove 44 that are arranged in the vertical direction, so that the material frame 42 rises vertically smoothly.

[0035] When the material frame 42 rises to the predetermined height, the sliding column 45 located in the limiting groove 44 reaches the top of its vertical section and begins to slide along the arc section connected to the top of the vertical section. Meanwhile, the sliding column 45 located in the guide groove 43 continues to be constrained in the vertical direction. This differentiated guide path, consisting of a vertical section and an arc section, forces the material frame 42 to begin to tilt forward with the sliding column 45 located in the limiting groove 44 as one of the rotation centers. During the tilting process, the inclined plate 46 located inside the material frame 42 near its opening and inclined from the inner wall towards the center guides the material to slide out of the material frame 42 stably.

[0036] When the material frame 42 is flipped to the tilting end position, the clamping plate 471 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material frame 42 and the base 472 fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer shell 3 and adjacent to the feed port 2 are engaged with each other. The cooperation of the clamping component 47 makes the material frame 42 firmly locked in the tilting state, ensuring that the material can be stably aligned with the feed port 2; the material sliding down from the inclined plate 46 falls under the action of gravity.

[0037] The falling material enters the collection area formed by the splash-proof mechanism 5. The elastic protective cover 51 is funnel-shaped with a wider top and a narrower bottom. Its upper port receives all the material poured out from the material frame 42. The protective cover 51 is firmly fixed to the packaging equipment housing 1 and outer shell 3 by the first fixing plate 52, the first screw 53, the second screw 54, the second fixing plate 55, the reinforcing plate 56, and the reinforcing screw 57 to ensure its structural stability. Guided by the protective cover 51, the material finally falls into the inlet 2 at the top of the packaging equipment housing 1, completing the automatic, fast and splash-proof feeding process.
