Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of packaging machinery, in particular to a counting and material sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] Wet wipes are moist paper towels used to wipe the skin. The wet wipes on the market can be roughly divided into two categories: one is that they are disinfected themselves, but cannot disinfect other items. They contain skin care ingredients and can only be used for skin moisturizing and maintenance. The other is disinfectant wipes that are not only disinfected themselves, but also can disinfect other items. They can be used to disinfect or sterilize skin abrasions and scratches. Packaging machinery refers to machinery that can complete all or part of the product and commodity packaging process. The packaging process includes the main processes such as filling, wrapping, and sealing, as well as related processes before and after, such as cleaning, stacking, slitting and disassembly. In addition, packaging also includes processes such as metering or stamping on the package. Using machinery to package products can improve productivity, reduce labor intensity, adapt to the needs of large-scale production, and meet the requirements of cleanliness and hygiene. The packaging machine is a machine that packs the product, which plays a role in protection and beauty. In the packaging and processing of wet wipes, medicated patches, foods, etc., wet wipes are usually folded and loaded into packaging films. However, in the actual processing process, since the position and size of the wet wipes after being folded cannot be accurately controlled, each wet wipe needs to reserve a large space in the packaging film, resulting in a waste of raw materials, which greatly increases the production cost of the product. Moreover, the folded wet wipes are of different sizes, which is not conducive to bagging, greatly reducing the yield rate. Traditional wet wipes, medicated patches, foods, and facial masks are manually counted, sorted, and packed after sealing the bags, which is a complicated process and has high labor costs. Moreover, since the wet wipes are difficult to stack and pack different wet wipe packaging bags during the processing and forming process, and the number in the packaging box is also easy to make mistakes, causing economic losses, the existing wet wipes are manually collected after the bags are sealed. After collecting the materials, the staff needs to count the materials and put them into the packaging box to be packaged into boxes or bags for sale. In this way, the wet wipes are still manually produced and processed in the future, which affects the production efficiency of the products, and the labor cost is high, which increases the production cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0026] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-9 As shown, a counting material handling machine includes a feeding conveying mechanism 21, a rotating mechanism 22, a pushing mechanism 23 and a feeding mechanism 24. The feeding conveying mechanism 21 includes a first conveying component 211, a counter 212 for counting the passing materials and a receiving baffle 213 for receiving the materials. The receiving baffle 213 has a first position for supporting the baffle so that the materials are stacked and a second position for releasing the support of the materials. The rotating mechanism 22 includes a rotating material box 221. The rotating material box 221 has a first position for supporting the materials after the receiving baffle 213 releases the support of the materials and a second position for horizontally rotating the materials. The feeding mechanism 24 is used to receive the materials from the pushing mechanism 23 and feed the materials out. The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the counter and the receiving baffle are provided so that the materials can be stacked for easy boxing. At the same time, the rotating mechanism is provided to adjust the direction of the materials in the horizontal direction for easy subsequent reliable processing. The present invention also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable action and long service life.

[0027] The present invention also includes a material lifting mechanism 25, which has a first state when installed and a second state for lifting the material in the rotating material box 221 to facilitate the material pushing by the material pushing mechanism 23. The setting of the material lifting device raises the height of the material, making it convenient to pack the product as a whole. More specifically, the material lifting mechanism includes a material lifting box for loading materials and a material lifting drive, and the material lifting drive drives the material lifting box to reciprocate vertically. Of course, a plate can also be used to directly carry the material.

[0028] The lifting mechanism 25 includes a first lifting component 251 and a second lifting component 252, and the pushing mechanism 23 includes a first pushing component 231 and a second pushing component 232. The first lifting component 251 is used to lift the material of the rotating material box 221 to a position convenient for the first pushing component 231 to push the material, the first pushing component 231 is used to push the material on the first lifting component 251 to the second lifting component 252, the second lifting component 252 is used to lift the material to a position convenient for the second pushing component 232 to push the material, and the second pushing component 232 is used to push the material on the second lifting component 252 to the feeding mechanism 24. Specifically, the pushing mechanism usually includes a pushing drive and a pushing plate, and the pushing drive drives the pushing plate to reciprocate horizontally. The cooperation of the pushing mechanism and the lifting mechanism changes the direction of travel of the material, which is convenient for subsequent processing. Of course, in the actual production process, only one set of lifting components and one set of pushing components are set. The present invention only has two groups of lifting components and two groups of pushing components, and the materials on the rotating mechanism are pushed to the feeding mechanism through two pushing operations. This can better adapt to the stacking and subsequent processing of materials. In the actual production process, since materials such as wet wipes have different sizes and thicknesses due to specifications, and materials that are too high are easy to interfere with product components, the one-time rotating feeding and pushing process when boxing is required is easy to cause uneven materials, affecting subsequent processing. The present invention uses two groups of lifting components and two groups of pushing components, and pushes the materials on the rotating mechanism to the feeding mechanism through two pushing operations. Pushing is more reliable and more convenient. The rotating mechanism can also rotate to transport a small amount of materials, which are superimposed on the second lifting component to meet the boxing amount, avoiding the material from scattering during the rotating pushing operation.

[0029] A transition material box 26 is provided between the first material lifting component 251 and the second material lifting component 252, and a transition material pressing plate 261 is provided on the transition material box 26. The horizontal height of the transition material box 26 is higher than the horizontal height of the second material lifting component 252 when it is not lifted. Specifically, taking 10 packs of materials for boxing as an example, some materials such as wet wipes are thicker. At this time, the counter can be counted every 5 times, and the rotating mechanism will be activated to rotate the material to change the horizontal direction, which is convenient for the pushing mechanism to push the material, and then the material is pushed to the second material lifting component through the first material lifting component and the first pushing component. After being stacked on the second material lifting component to the boxing quantity, it is sent to the feeding mechanism for packaging and boxing, that is, the rotating mechanism completes the rotation feeding of a group of 10 boxes of materials every 2 times, which is convenient for the processing of multiple pieces of material or too thick materials. The role of the transition material box is to facilitate reliable pushing of materials, and the transition material pressing plate will play a role of limiting when the first pushing component pushes materials, so that the materials can be pushed reliably. More specifically, in order for the pushing mechanism to push materials reliably, a certain size of space may be allowed on the component to facilitate the pushing plate to reliably push all materials at the location to move.

[0030] The rotating mechanism 22 includes a rotating driving member 222, and the rotating driving member 222 drives the rotating material box 221 to rotate back and forth through the rotating plate 223. The rotating material box 221 includes two rotating side plates 2211, and the rotating side plates 2211 are provided with a rotating support 2212. The spacing between the two rotating side plates 2211 is adjustable and cooperates with each other to form the rotating material box 221. Such a structure allows the size of the rotating material box to be changed, so that the product can be adapted to different material box packaging. More specifically, the pushing drive, lifting drive, rotating drive member, etc. can be realized by one or more of a motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a combination thereof.

[0031] The first conveying assembly 211 includes a first conveying belt 2111 and a supporting assembly 2112, wherein the supporting assembly 2112 is disposed between the first conveying belt 2111 and the receiving baffle 213, and the feeding conveying mechanism 21 is provided with a second conveying assembly 214, wherein the second conveying assembly 214 is disposed above the supporting assembly 2112 and extends to above the receiving baffle 213. Specifically, the second conveying assembly 214 includes a second conveying belt 2141, the counter 212 is disposed on the second conveying assembly 214, and the receiving baffle 213 is disposed below the outlet of the second conveying belt 2141. The first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly cooperate with each other so that the materials can be reliably stacked at the receiving baffle, which is convenient for subsequent processing.

[0032] There are two groups of support components 2112, and the two groups of support components 2112 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the material travel direction. Each group of support components 2112 includes a movable slide 21121 and a support adjustment member 21122 for driving the movable slide 21121 to reciprocate. The material receiving baffle 213 is arranged on both sides of the material travel direction. Such a structure can adjust the relative position of the movable slide, so that the product can adapt to the feeding of different materials.

[0033] The feeding mechanism 24 includes a feeding belt 241, a feeding box 242 is provided on the feeding belt 241, and the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 23 is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the feeding belt 241. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 24 is provided with a third pushing component 243 and a feeding outlet 244, the pushing direction of the third pushing component 243 is perpendicular to the running direction of the feeding belt 241, and there are two feeding outlets 244, one of which is set in the pushing direction of the third pushing component 243, and the other feeding outlet 244 is set in the running direction of the feeding belt 241. The setting of two feeding outlets enables the present invention to not only cooperate with a cartoning machine and other machines to realize automatic cartoning, but also can be directly loaded manually from another outlet.
