Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging equipment manufacturing technology, and specifically to an automatic cartoning device for hollow coils. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the inductor manufacturing industry, before air-core coils are encapsulated and fixed, the traditional packaging method is to manually count a certain number of products, weigh them using a balance to calculate the quantity of coils, and then place the coils into the coil product packaging box. The air-core coils produced by our company also use the traditional manual boxing packaging method.

[0003] Traditional manual boxing and packaging methods often have the following problems and disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Manually sampling a certain number of products often carries the risk of errors or omissions due to human negligence.

[0005] 2. Manual weighing and boxing can easily deform the coil, loosen the pins, etc., leading to a secondary risk of coil damage and failure.

[0006] 3. Manual weighing and boxing is slow and inefficient. The skill level of the operators will affect the progress of boxing and packaging. Manual boxing requires repeated handling of products, which will increase the human resource cost of coil packaging. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic boxing device for hollow coils, so as to transform the packaging process in coil production from traditional manual boxing to automated mechanical operation, thereby reducing the number of manual sampling points.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0009] An automatic hollow coil packaging device is characterized by comprising a product input mechanism and a product packaging chute connected to a product conveying mechanism, a conveyor belt, a conveyor belt drive mechanism, and a product box containing at least two compartments disposed on the conveyor belt. The product packaging chute is equipped with a discharge port changing baffle and a driver for changing the position of the discharge port changing baffle. The lower end of the product packaging chute is also provided with at least two discharge ports. The discharge port changing baffle is used to change the product packaging chute into a discharge channel corresponding to different discharge ports, thereby allowing the product to fall into different compartments of the product box. The device also includes a main unit, which is connected to the electrical control parts of each module for receiving collected information and issuing action control commands.

[0010] Furthermore, the device also includes a sensor disposed within the product input mechanism or on the product packaging chute for detecting the number of products that slide into the product packaging chute.

[0011] Furthermore, a blocking gate is also provided in the product boxing chute. The blocking gate can block all products falling into the product boxing chute. The blocking gate is connected to a blocking motor, which is connected to the main unit.

[0012] Furthermore, the device also includes an equipment mounting bracket, on which the conveyor belt is mounted.

[0013] Furthermore, a product box positioning sensor is also provided on the device support, and the product box positioning sensor is connected to the host.

[0014] Furthermore, the device mounting bracket is also equipped with a single-cell product quantity setting counter and an integrated product quantity setting counter that are connected to the host.

[0015] Furthermore, a main power switch is also provided on the equipment mounting bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the equipment mounting bracket is also equipped with a material discharge port changing baffle reset switch and a material blockage gate reset switch that are connected to the main unit.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: it solves the risk of quantity errors caused by human negligence in the current product packaging process, which involves manual sampling and counting; it also reduces the potential failure risk of coil products due to the easy damage and oxidation of coils when manually boxed; it ensures the accuracy of the number of boxed products, avoiding human negligence in manual counting and weighing that could lead to insufficient or excessive product delivery and customer dissatisfaction; furthermore, the implementation of an automatic coil product boxing device can transform the coil product packaging process from manual to automated mechanical operation, replacing some of the workers in the packaging process, thereby reducing the human resource costs of coil packaging, solving technical problems in the industry, and enhancing the industry's competitiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, an automatic hollow coil packaging device includes a main unit, a product input mechanism, and a product packaging chute connected to a product conveying mechanism. The product feeding mechanism can be a product belt or a turntable, and can be any input mechanism in the prior art. It also includes a conveyor belt 10, a conveyor belt 10 drive mechanism, and product boxes 9 disposed on the conveyor belt 10. The product boxes 9 are arranged in two rows, with two or more individual compartments in each row. The product packaging chute is equipped with a discharge port changing baffle 4 and a driver that drives the discharge port changing baffle 4 to change its position. The driver can be driven by a motor, which is connected to the main unit and receives action commands from the main unit. The position can be changed under the command of the host. The lower end of the product boxing chute is also provided with several dropping ports. The dropping port changing baffle 4 is used to change the product boxing chute into dropping channels corresponding to different dropping ports, so that the product falls into different cells of the product box 9. It should be noted that the number of dropping ports is the same as the number of dropping channels changed by the dropping port changing baffle 4, and the positions are also corresponding. In addition, the number of rows of product boxes 9 also corresponds to the number of dropping ports, so that each dropping port can correspond to a row of cells. The host is connected to the electrical control part of each module and is used to receive collected information and issue action control commands.

[0021] In this embodiment, the discharge port changing baffle 4 has two implementation methods. The first method involves the discharge port changing baffle 4 being a horizontally positioned baffle within the product packaging chute, with a width smaller than the width of the product packaging chute. Furthermore, when one side of the discharge port changing baffle 4 is close to one side wall of the product packaging chute, the distance between the other side of the discharge port changing baffle 4 and the other side wall of the product packaging chute is not less than the width of the hollow coil. This ensures that when the discharge port changing baffle 4 moves left or right to the side wall of the product packaging chute, the hollow coil can always pass through the opening on the other side. Simultaneously, the lower part of the product packaging chute has two discharge ports, one at the front and one at the back, corresponding to the different positions of the discharge port changing baffle 4. The hollow coil falls into the channel; the second implementation is that the discharge port changing baffle 4 is a movable plate that can swing left and right in the product boxing slide, so that the discharge port changing baffle 4 is in an inclined position. When the upper end of the discharge port changing baffle 4 is on the left, the lower end of the discharge port changing baffle 4 is on the right, and vice versa. The lower part of the product boxing slide is provided with different discharge ports at the front and back. The upper end of the discharge port changing baffle 4 guides the hollow coil into the track, and the lower end of the discharge port changing baffle 4 leads to different discharge ports. In both embodiments, the discharge port changing baffle 4 is connected to the motor and driven by the motor to change its position.

[0022] This embodiment includes two discharge ports, namely the front discharge port 2 and the rear discharge port 3.

[0023] The device also includes a sensor installed in the product input mechanism or on the product packaging chute for detecting the number of products that slide into the product packaging chute. This sensor is a coil-feed detection fiber optic sensor 6.

[0024] The product boxing chute is also equipped with a blocking gate 8, which can block all products falling into the product boxing chute. The blocking gate 8 is connected to a blocking motor 7, which is connected to the main unit.

[0025] The device also includes a device mounting bracket 1, on which the conveyor belt 10 is mounted. A product box positioning sensor 11 is also provided on the device bracket, and the product box positioning sensor 11 is connected to the host. The device mounting bracket 1 is also provided with a single-cell product quantity setting counter 14 and an integrated product quantity setting counter 15, both connected to the host.

[0026] The equipment mounting bracket 1 is also equipped with a main power switch 16. The equipment mounting bracket 1 is also equipped with a material discharge port change baffle reset switch 12 and a material blockage gate reset switch 13, which are connected to the main unit.

[0027] The main implementation method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] First, connect the automatic coil product boxing device to a 220V AC power supply and turn on the main power switch; other components will automatically start. Set the quantity to be boxed in each cell and each box of product box 9 in the single cell product quantity setting counter 14 and the whole box product quantity setting counter 15, respectively. When changing to a new specification boxing, press the material discharge port change baffle reset switch 12 and the material blocking gate reset switch 13 to restore the material discharge port change baffle 4 and the material blocking gate 8 to their initial state. If continuing to box products of the same specification, no reset is required.

[0029] The fiber optic sensor for coil feeding detects transmits information about coils passing through to the host computer. The host computer displays the number of coils passing through in real time in the single-cell product quantity setting counter 14 and the total box product quantity setting counter 15. When the number of coils entering the rear discharge port 3 reaches the preset number in the single-cell product quantity setting counter 14, the motor starts rotating, driving the discharge port changing baffle 4 to switch the coils from the rear discharge port 3 to the front discharge port for boxing. Further, when the number of coils boxed at the current discharge port 2 reaches the preset number in the single-cell product quantity setting counter 14 again, the blocking gate 8 rises to block the coils entering the coil boxing chute, and the coils are discharged simultaneously. The switching baffle 4 rotates, causing the coil to return to the rear feed port 3 for boxing. Then, the conveyor belt 10 rotates, changing the position of the product box 9, allowing the coil products to be placed in two additional empty boxes. This process is repeated between the front feed port 2 and the rear feed port 3. When the total number of boxes reaches the preset number (set by the counter 15), the blocking gate 8 rises again to block the coils entering the coil boxing chute. Simultaneously, the feed port switching baffle 4 rotates back to its initial position, and the conveyor belt 10 rotates again, changing the position of the product box 9 to another empty coil product box 9. This process continues automatically, loading coil products into product box 9. Once full, a new product box 9 is automatically installed. The entire process is fully automated by this device, requiring no manual operation. The total number of boxed products can be stored in the counter. The automatic coil product boxing process is now complete. The main flow of the entire process is: feeding—counting display—automatic boxing—changing feed port when the count is reached—changing the position of the product box 9 squares—changing product box 9 when full. All work is completed automatically by this device.

[0030] The above embodiments merely illustrate concentrated implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
