Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial automation technology, and in particular relates to a feeding and stacking device for air fiber mattresses. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of air fiber mattresses, material feeding and palletizing are two key post-processing steps.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and the appendix, provides further details. Figures 1-5 The present invention will be described in further detail below. It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present invention.

[0026] This utility model provides a feeding and stacking device for air fiber mattresses. Its reasonable structural design enables efficient and stable feeding and stacking of air fiber mattresses. The device includes a support frame 6, a conveying component, a lateral translation component, a lifting component, a gripping component 9, a sensing component 5, and a control system. All components are electrically connected to achieve coordinated operation.

[0027] The support frame 6 serves as the basic structure of the entire device, and a conveying component is installed at its bottom. The conveying component consists of a conveying motor 7 and multiple evenly distributed conveying rollers 8. The conveying rollers 8 rotate in one direction under the drive of the conveying motor 7. A conveying baffle 10 is provided at the conveying end of the conveying rollers 8. A contact sensor is provided at the conveying baffle 10. When the air fiber mattress comes into contact with the conveying baffle, it comes into contact with the contact sensor. The contact sensor transmits a signal to the conveying motor 7, and the conveying motor 7 stops driving. At this time, the air fiber mattress is located directly below the moving plate.

[0028] The conveyor unit is used to transport the air-fiber mattress from the end of the production line. This conveying method can smoothly transport the mattress to the designated position, preventing the mattress from shifting or being damaged during transport.

[0029] A lateral translation component is installed at the upper end of the support frame 6. This component moves along a lateral track via a drive wheel assembly, enabling the mounting base 4 to move horizontally. A lifting component 3 is located at the top of the mounting base 4. In this embodiment, a lifting cylinder is used as the lifting component 3, with its hydraulic rod passing through the mounting base 4 and connected to the moving plate 2. Through the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder, the moving plate 2 can achieve vertical lifting and lowering. This design allows the device to flexibly grasp and stack mattresses at different heights and positions, improving the flexibility and adaptability of stacking.

[0030] The movable plate 2 is equipped with multiple gripping components 9, each including a gripping frame 901 and at least two symmetrical insertion assemblies. The bottom of the insertion assembly is inclined towards the center, forming a certain included angle α, with an angle range of 15°-45°. The insertion assembly is driven by an insertion cylinder 902, and its end insertion claw 903 is equipped with several insertion rods, the ends of which are pointed for insertion into the air fiber mattress. Multiple insertion assemblies are inserted at an incline towards the center, thus gripping the mattress. Because the air fiber mattress itself is supported by a porous material, the uniformly distributed pores inside can effectively promote air circulation, so the insertion grippers will not damage or affect the structure of the air fiber mattress during insertion. This gripping method can effectively adapt to the soft characteristics of the mattress, and by inserting the pointed end into the mattress, it ensures the stability and reliability of the gripping, preventing the mattress from sliding or deforming during the gripping process. A sensing component 5 is installed at the center of the movable plate 2, which includes a sensor mounting base 11, a sensor rod 14, a contact plate 13, and a sensor 15. The sensor rod 14 is vertically slidably mounted on the sensor mounting base 11. The contact plate 13 is located at the bottom of the sensor rod 14 and is used to contact the mattress surface. The sensor 15 is mounted on the top of the sensor mounting base 11, corresponding to the top of the sensor rod 14. When the moving plate 2 descends, the contact plate 13 contacts the mattress surface, and as the moving plate descends, the sensor rod 14 rises relative to the sensor mounting base. When the sensor rod rises to the position of the sensor 15, the sensor 15 sends a signal to the control system, and the gripping component grips the mattress. After the gripping is completed, the moving plate rises. Because the mattress is soft, the center of the mattress falls during the gripping. Under the action of gravity, the contact plate drives the sensor rod 14 downward and detaches from the sensor. When it moves to the top of the stack, the moving plate descends, and the gripped mattress contacts the top mattress or tray. As it descends, the center of the gripped mattress gradually flattens. After the contact plate contacts the mattress, it drives the sensor rod to rise again. When the sensor senses the sensor rod, it indicates that the mattress has reached the height where it can be released. The gripping component releases, completing one unloading and stacking operation.

[0031] The sensors can accurately detect the position and height of the mattress and feed the data back to the control system. This sensor design enables precise positioning of the mattress, ensuring accuracy in gripping and stacking.

[0032] The gripping, sensing, lifting, lateral translation, and conveying components are all electrically connected to the control system. Based on feedback from the sensing components, the control system automatically controls the actions of each component, achieving automated material feeding and palletizing operations. Through programming, the control system can adjust the gripping and palletizing parameters according to different mattress sizes, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device.

[0033] In operation, the air-fiber mattress is first smoothly transported from the end of the production line to the designated position by a conveyor component. Driven by a conveyor motor, the conveyor rollers rotate. When the mattress contacts the contact sensor at the conveyor baffle, the motor stops, and the mattress is positioned directly below the moving plate. Next, a lateral translation component moves the mounting base above the mattress, and a lifting component lowers the moving plate. A sensor at the center of the moving plate contacts the mattress surface via a contact plate. After the sensor detects the mattress's position, the insertion component of the gripping component, driven by an insertion cylinder, inserts the tip of its insertion claw into the mattress's pores, thus gripping the mattress. Because the air-fiber mattress has a porous structure, this gripping method does not damage it. After gripping, the lifting component raises the mattress to a suitable height, the lateral translation component moves the mattress to the stacking area, and the moving plate lowers again. When the mattress contacts a tray or an already stacked mattress, the sensor detects and sends a signal, and the gripping component releases the mattress, completing one stacking operation. Throughout the process, the control system automatically coordinates the actions of each component based on the information fed back by the sensing components, realizing automated material feeding and palletizing. It can also adjust parameters according to the mattress specifications to ensure the flexibility and accuracy of palletizing.

[0034] This utility model's air fiber mattress unloading and palletizing device achieves efficient and stable mattress unloading and palletizing through automated design. Its precise gripping components can adapt to the softness and porous structure of mattresses, ensuring stable gripping without damaging the mattresses. At the same time, the precise positioning function of the sensing components improves the neatness and stability of the palletizing. The device can flexibly adjust parameters according to different mattress specifications to meet the needs of flexible production. Automated operation reduces manual intervention, lowers labor intensity and labor costs, while improving production safety and product quality, and optimizing warehousing and transportation efficiency, demonstrating significant practicality and promotional value.
