Abstract

The present invention relates to an intermediate buffer carrier palletizing system for a production process designed to automate the production flow by applying palletizing technology that temporarily stores noodles in a ramen production process, thereby stably storing and releasing noodles without quality degradation even when the packaging line stops or malfunctions. The system comprises: a carrier loading section that provides a space for temporarily loading noodles; a plurality of buffer carriers that are arranged upright in the forward and backward directions in the carrier loading section and receive noodles sequentially from the upper side while moving upwards after being placed at the front end of the carrier loading section in their turn; a carrier transfer section installed in the carrier loading section that transfers the buffer carrier according to the loading or release order of noodles; a chute installed in the noodle transfer section that pushes noodles toward the buffer carrier to load them; a pusher installed at the front end of the carrier loading section that pushes noodles loaded in the buffer carrier in the release order to release them to the noodle transfer section; and a palletizing control section that controls the loading of noodles into the buffer carrier or the release of noodles from the buffer carrier.

Description

Intermediate Buffer Carrier Palletizing System for Ramen Production Process The present invention relates to an intermediate buffer carrier palletizing system for a production process, and more specifically, to an intermediate buffer carrier palletizing system for a production process designed to automate the production flow by applying palletizing technology that temporarily stores noodles in a ramen production process and stably stores and releases them without quality degradation even when the packaging line stops or malfunctions. The ramen manufacturing process includes a series of steps to complete the product by forming and drying the noodles, and then continuously supplying them to a packaging line. During this process, temporary failures or stoppages in the packaging line can reduce the efficiency of the overall production flow. In particular, since cotton is sensitive to external shocks or changes in humidity, an intermediate storage device is required to safely store the cotton when the packaging line stops. The existing simple conveyor system only continuously transports the noodles, so when the line stops, there is insufficient space to load the noodles, resulting in quality degradation or loss. In addition, existing buffer devices had limitations in production automation because the loading and unloading of noodles were manual. To improve these problems, there is an increasing need for a structure that can sequentially load multiple carriers by arranging them upright, a mechanism that can efficiently load and unload surfaces through shooters and pushers, and a system that can integrally manage the entire operation by a control unit. Therefore, automated intermediate buffer carrier palletizing technology is required to increase work efficiency while maintaining the continuity of ramen production.
