Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, specifically to a material dispensing device for packaging braised eggs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the pre-packaging process, braised egg manufacturers often rely on manual or simple mechanical methods for material sorting.

[0003] Simple mechanical material sorting equipment has been introduced, which typically uses batch conveying to transport braised eggs to the packaging station. However, existing mechanical material sorting equipment generally suffers from uneven material distribution, with braised eggs prone to stacking, compression, or jamming during transport. Firstly, stacked material is difficult to count individually, making it impossible to accurately control the quantity of eggs in each package during subsequent packaging. This necessitates manual secondary sorting and counting, increasing operational steps and labor costs. Secondly, most mechanical packaging relies on weighing, making it impossible to accurately control the number of packages based on quantity. This leads to discrepancies in product distribution, especially when sold in combination with other products (such as instant noodles), often affecting packaging efficiency and even resulting in missed packages. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a material distribution device for packaging. It utilizes a dispersing module to disperse the materials, and then a conveying module works in conjunction with it to convey the dispersed materials one by one, facilitating counting and ensuring more accurate quantity protection in the later stages.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a material dispensing device for packaging, comprising a frame, on which a feeding module, a dispersing module, and a conveying module are sequentially arranged. The feeding module includes a hopper, and a dispensing device is provided inside the hopper. The dispersing module includes a first conveying trough and a second conveying trough connected in sequence. A vibration device is provided below both the first and second conveying troughs, and an infrared sensor is provided above the second conveying trough. The conveying module includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt connected in sequence, and a guiding device is provided above both the first and second conveyor belts.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: The vibration device includes a vibration generator, and a mounting plate is provided above the vibration generator.

[0007] The mounting plate is tilted at an angle of 3-7 degrees.

[0008] The number of dispersing modules is multiple and they are arranged sequentially along the length of the hopper. Each dispersing module is equipped with a conveying module at its end.

[0009] The batching device includes a batching bin, a material dispensing conveyor belt is provided inside the batching bin, and discharge ports are provided at the lower part of the batching bin on both sides of the material dispensing conveyor belt.

[0010] The frame is equipped with a displacement conveyor belt, and the displacement conveyor belt is equipped with a mounting base that is connected to the discharge hopper. Below the mounting base is a guide wheel that works in conjunction with the frame.

[0011] The guiding device includes two symmetrically distributed baffles that form a conveying channel, and each baffle has a guide plate inclinedly arranged at its front end.

[0012] A positioning frame is provided above the frame, and positioning bolts that are connected to the baffle are provided on the positioning frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: The material distribution equipment for packaging includes a frame, on which a feeding module, a dispersing module and a conveying module are sequentially arranged. The dispersing module disperses the falling material, and an infrared sensor monitors the trajectory of the material to ensure that the material falls one by one after being dispersed, which facilitates subsequent counting and packaging and avoids inaccurate counting caused by the material sticking together. The conveying module receives the materials processed by the dispersing module and guides them to the subsequent packaging process. It includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt connected in sequence. The first and second conveyor belts can also be conveyed step by step, which can further improve the dispersing effect and also save energy. To ensure that the materials maintain a regular posture during the conveying process, guide devices are installed above the first and second conveyor belts to solve the problems of uneven material dispersion, low counting accuracy, and poor operation efficiency in existing equipment, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the number of braised eggs packaged.

[0016] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the packaging material distribution equipment in this embodiment includes a frame 1. The frame 1 is arranged in sequence with a feeding module, a dispersing module and a conveying module according to the material conveying direction. The modules work together to achieve orderly distribution and conveying of the braised eggs, avoiding the sticking of materials during packaging, which would result in inaccurate packaging quantity.

[0018] To improve material distribution efficiency, multiple dispersing modules are arranged sequentially along the length of the hopper 2. Each dispersing module is equipped with a corresponding conveying module at its end, forming multiple parallel material distribution and conveying units to achieve synchronous processing of batch materials. In addition, a displacement conveyor belt 13 is also provided on the frame 1. A mounting base 14 connected to the hopper 2 is installed on the displacement conveyor belt 13. Guide wheels 15 that cooperate with the frame 1 are provided below the mounting base 14. Through the coordinated action of the displacement conveyor belt 13 and the guide wheels 15, the position of the hopper 2 can be flexibly adjusted, improving the adaptability of the equipment.

[0019] The core component of the feeding module is the feeding hopper 2, which contains a batching device for precise material control. This batching device includes a batching bin 10, within which a distributing conveyor belt 11 is installed. The bottom of the batching bin 10 has two discharge ports 12, located on either side of the distributing conveyor belt 11. When the distributing conveyor belt 11 is in operation, it can evenly distribute the material to the two discharge ports 12, achieving stable feeding. The length of the batching bin 10 is half the length of the feeding hopper 2 to ensure that the initial material discharge position is consistent with the feed end of each distributing module.

[0020] The dispersing module is used to disperse the grouped materials conveyed by the feeding module into individual ordered states. It includes a first conveying trough 3 and a second conveying trough 4 connected in sequence. To ensure smooth material conveying, vibration devices are installed below both the first conveying trough 3 and the second conveying trough 4. At the same time, an infrared sensor 5 is installed above the second conveying trough 4 to monitor the material conveying status in real time. In conjunction with the central control console, when there is material in the second conveying trough 4, the first conveying trough 3 stops vibrating; conversely, when there is no material, the first conveying trough 3 vibrates to discharge material, and the second conveying trough 4 stops operating. A gravity sensor can also be used instead of the infrared sensor 5. The main reason for choosing the infrared sensor 5 in this embodiment is that the gravity sensor is affected by vibration, which leads to sensing errors.

[0021] The vibration device includes a vibration generator 8, and a mounting plate 9 is fixedly installed above the vibration generator 8. The mounting plate 9 adopts an inclined design with an inclination angle controlled between 3 and 7 degrees. This angle setting can ensure the material conveying speed while preventing the material from accumulating or colliding due to excessive sliding.

[0022] The conveying module receives the materials processed by the dispersing module and guides them to the subsequent packaging process. It includes a first conveyor belt 6 and a second conveyor belt 7 connected in sequence. The first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7 can also be conveyed step by step in the same way as the dispersing module. An infrared sensor is installed above the second conveyor belt 7 to detect the presence of materials. When materials are present, the second conveyor belt 7 runs; when no materials are present, the first conveyor belt 6 runs. This can further improve the dispersing effect and is also more energy-efficient. To ensure that the materials maintain a regular posture during the conveying process, a guiding device is installed above both the first conveyor belt 6 and the second conveyor belt 7.

[0023] The guiding device consists of two symmetrically distributed baffles 16, which together form a conveying channel 17 for material passage. Each baffle 16 has a guide plate 18 extending obliquely from its front end. Through the guiding action of the guide plate 18, the material can smoothly enter the conveying channel 17. In addition, a positioning frame 19 is fixed above the frame 1. Positioning bolts 20, which are connected to the baffles 16, are passed through the positioning frame 19. The distance between the two baffles 16 can be changed by adjusting the positioning bolts 20.

[0024] The working principle / assembly process of this solution is as follows: After starting the equipment, the distance between the two baffles 16 in the guide device is changed by adjusting the positioning bolts 20 of the positioning frame 19 on the frame 1, so that the width of the conveying channel 17 matches the specifications of the braised eggs to be processed; at the same time, the position of the feeding hopper 2 is confirmed to be adjusted into place by the coordinated action of the displacement conveyor belt 13 and the guide wheel 15, ensuring that the initial feeding position of the material is aligned with the feeding end of each dispersion module. The batch of braised eggs to be packaged are fed into the feeding hopper 2 of the feeding module. The material distribution conveyor belt 11 in the ingredient bin 10 operates, evenly distributing the material to the feeding ports 12 on both sides to achieve stable feeding. Since the length of the ingredient bin 10 is half that of the feeding hopper 2, it ensures that the material can be accurately delivered to the feeding end of each distribution module. The grouped materials output from hopper 2 enter the first conveying trough 3 of the dispersing module. The vibration generator 8 of the vibration device drives the mounting plate 9 (tilt angle 3-7 degrees) to vibrate, which drives the first conveying trough 3 to convey the materials to the second conveying trough 4. The infrared sensor 5 above the second conveying trough 4 monitors the material status in real time. When it detects that there is material in the second conveying trough 4, the central control console controls the first conveying trough 3 to stop vibrating to avoid material accumulation. When there is no material in the second conveying trough 4, the first conveying trough 3 resumes vibration to ensure that the materials are dispersed into individual states in an orderly manner. After being processed by the dispersing module, the individual hard-boiled eggs enter the conveying module. They are first guided by the guide plate 18 of the guide device above the first conveyor belt 6 and smoothly enter the conveying channel 17 enclosed by two baffles 16, maintaining a regular conveying posture. Subsequently, the material is conveyed to the second conveyor belt 7, where it is stably guided to the subsequent packaging process under the continuous limiting action of the guide device above it, completing the entire material distribution operation.
