Synthesis of design parameters of a device for packaging loose products with a continuous cup-type adaptronic dosing module

For dosing fast-moving bulk products, cup-type dispensers are widely used, which provide volumetric dose formation.Obtaining high productivity values involves the use of adaptronic continuous dosing and packaging modules.In such modules, the operation of forming a dose of product and the operation of packing, i.e., moving it into consumer packaging, are combined in time.The main limiting component of the duration of the kinematic packing cycle is the duration of movement of loose products in the product pipeline of the packing device.The design of the product pipeline (funnel) of the packaging device significantly affects the additional resistance to product movement when it comes into contact with the inner surface of the funnel and possible mutual impact processes between product particles.The object of the study was a packaging device made in the form of conjugated conical and cylindrical parts.Studies have established that with a corresponding eccentric arrangement of the cylindrical part relative to the conical axis, it is possible to increase the effective cross-sectional area of the conjugation of the conical and cylindrical parts and reduce the probability of impact interaction of particles of loose products on the inner surface of the cylindrical part of the packing device.A mathematical expression was obtained that made it possible to determine the rational value of the diameter of the conical part of the device, taking into account the continuous operation mode of the adaptronic-functional dosing and packaging module.Based on the results of mathematical modeling of the movement of a material particle in the product pipeline of the packing device, an expression was obtained to determine the rational value of the eccentricity of the packing device and the effective cross-sectional area of the funnel at the junction of the conical and cylindrical parts.It has been established that the eccentricity can be both positive and negative with respect to the axis of the conical part and depends on the rotor rotation frequency.To minimize the dimensions and weight of the packing device, it is recommended to make its conical part in the form of a torus.
