Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment one:
the present embodiment provides an automatic sucking and separating apparatus for flexible bar-like food, which includes: the device comprises a separating device, a conveying device and a power device, wherein the separating device and the conveying device are respectively connected with the power device.
The automatic sucking and separating device for the flexible strip-shaped food also comprises a raw material supply bin for containing the flexible strip-shaped food to be separated.
The separation device includes: the device comprises a power source compressed air (1), a separation absorbing component and a separation blowing component, wherein the power source compressed air (1) is connected with a power device, and the separation absorbing component and the separation blowing component are respectively connected with the power source compressed air (1).
The power unit, i.e. the device that powers the whole device, can be served by a motor connected to a power source, the focus of the invention not being here shown. The compressed air (1) of the power source is connected with the power device, and the air can be compressed by the power provided by the power device.
In practical applications, there are various implementations of separating the sucking component, for example, a vacuum generator and a sucking pipe, or a vacuum generator and a vacuum chuck, and the separating component can be selected according to the actually required characteristics of the separated food.
Separation and suction component implementation mode one: the separation suction component comprises a vacuum generator (5) and a suction pipe, wherein one end of the vacuum generator (5) is connected with the power source compressed air (1), and the other end of the vacuum generator is connected with the suction pipe.
The suction pipe is a hard suction pipe (8).
The automatic sucking and separating device for the flexible strip-shaped food comprises a separating matrix formed by at least two separating devices, wherein the interval between the separating devices in the separating matrix is set according to the size of the flexible strip-shaped food to be separated.
In practical application, the distance between the separation devices in the separation matrix only needs to be ensured to be longer than the length of the flexible strip-shaped food to be separated.
And a second realization mode of separating and sucking components is as follows: the separation and suction component comprises a vacuum generator (5) and a vacuum chuck, wherein one end of the vacuum generator (5) is connected with compressed air of a power source, and the other end of the vacuum generator is connected with the vacuum chuck. The vacuum chuck is a silica gel chuck.
Through practical verification, the suction stability of the hard suction pipe (8) is higher than that of the silica gel suction cup, so that a schematic diagram of the implementation mode of the silica gel suction cup is not shown in the figure.
The power source compressed air (1) is connected with the vacuum generator (5), the separation suction component and the separation blowing component through the corresponding vacuum electromagnetic valve (2), the separation electromagnetic valve (3) and the blowing electromagnetic valve (4) respectively.
Corresponding flow controllers are respectively arranged between the separation electromagnetic valve (3) and the separation suction component and between the air blowing electromagnetic valve (4) and the separation air blowing component, and are respectively an air blowing flow controller (6) and a separation flow controller (7).
The conveying device is a conveying belt.
Embodiment two:
the embodiment provides an automatic sucking and separating method for a flexible strip-shaped food, referring to fig. 4, which is applied to the automatic sucking and separating device for a flexible strip-shaped food provided in the first embodiment, and includes:
and starting the automatic sucking and separating equipment for the flexible strip-shaped food, separating the flexible strip-shaped food by using the separating device, placing the flexible strip-shaped food on the conveying device, and conveying the flexible strip-shaped food to the next processing procedure by the conveying device, wherein the separating device and the conveying device are powered by the power device.
Specifically, the separation device descends to the raw material supply bin to absorb flexible strip-shaped food, the vacuum electromagnetic valve (2) is opened, when the separation electromagnetic valve (3) is closed, gas passes through the vacuum generator (5) and can generate negative pressure in the hard suction pipe (8) under the action of the gas flow speed difference, the flexible strip-shaped food is closely attached to the hard suction pipe (8) under the pushing of atmospheric pressure, and the strip-shaped food of the separation device is lifted at the moment to realize the independent separation of the flexible strip-shaped food;
the separating device is lifted by the belt material and then transferred to be separated, namely, the belt material is moved to the upper part of the conveying belt from the upper part of the raw material supply bin, in the process, because certain flexible strip-shaped foods with viscosity or long length are easy to be adhered to each other and are overlapped, in order to cope with the phenomenon, the separating air blowing pipe (9) is arranged right above the deviation direction of the flexible strip-shaped foods, the air blowing electromagnetic valve (4) is opened at the moment, the separating air blowing pipe (9) sprays air to carry out secondary separation on the single flexible strip-shaped foods so as to ensure that all parts of the single flexible strip-shaped foods are not adhered, the vacuum electromagnetic valve (2) is closed, the separating electromagnetic valve (3) is opened, compressed air blows off the flexible strip-shaped foods through the hard suction pipe (8) and falls on the conveying belt, and the three electromagnetic valves are closed to complete the separating action, and the separating device and the conveying device have speed difference, so that the consistency of the directions of the separated single flexible strip-shaped foods can be ensured.
The air flow rate influences the negative pressure, and for flexible strip food, when the flexible strip food is sucked by using the hard suction tube under the condition of enough negative pressure, compared with the silica gel suction disc, the hard suction tube has larger friction force, so that the food is ensured not to fall easily in the sucking process;
because the flexible strip food has certain toughness, the structure of the flexible strip food is not damaged strongly in the separation process;
the separation effect is affected by the spacing between the suction devices. The distance between the suction devices is adjusted according to the length of the flexible strip-shaped objects, and circles are drawn by taking the suction points of the hard suction pipes (8) as circle centers, so that when the distance between the suction devices is larger than the maximum length of the flexible strip-shaped food, each separation unit can only suck one object. Meanwhile, due to the independence of the suction device, the suction device can be combined into an array form, and the array distance is set by measuring the longest length of the flexible object, so that the separation requirements of objects with different specifications can be met.
Under the same caliber, the hard suction pipe has more stable suction force than the silica gel sucker, and the hard pipe has good separation effect. Early-stage experiments show that the flexible objects are repeatedly sucked by using a hard tube with the caliber of 4mm and a silica gel sucker for a plurality of times, so that the size of the rolled meat strip is as follows: the test is carried out by taking 6mm by 80mm as an example, the suction success rate of the hard tube is 85.2%, and the suction success rate of the sucker is 70.2%; the success rate of the hard tube re-separation is close to 100%.
In the schematic drawing of the automatic sucking and separating step of the flexible strip food shown in fig. 4, only the positions of the conveying device and the raw material supply bin are kept unchanged, and the other parts are integrally moved in the process of realizing separation.
According to the automatic sucking and separating equipment and method for the flexible strip-shaped food, the single flexible strip-shaped food is separated from the flexible strip-shaped food set to be separated through the separating device, specifically, the single flexible strip-shaped food is sucked through the separating and sucking component to realize primary separation, adhesion blowing which possibly exists in the single flexible strip-shaped food is separated through the separating and blowing component to realize secondary separation, the single flexible strip-shaped food is placed on the conveying device and conveyed to the next processing procedure through the conveying device, automatic separation of the flexible strip-shaped food is realized, the separating matrix is formed through the separating devices to improve the separating efficiency, and therefore the problems of secondary pollution to the food, high labor cost, high labor intensity and low working efficiency due to the adoption of a full manual mode are solved.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and any such modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
