Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material packaging equipment technology, and more specifically to an XY packing transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In a fully automated production line for packaging materials, once the packaging bag is filled with materials, it needs to be moved to the next process for sealing.

[0003] Currently, conveyor belts are mostly used to deliver bags in order to achieve automated operations. However, the bags containing materials are placed freely on the conveyor belt with loose openings and no fixation. As the bags are conveyed, they are prone to tipping over, and the spilled materials scatter on the conveyor belt, creating a mess that is difficult to clean. Even if the bags do not tip over, because the openings are loose in their natural state, they cannot be sealed directly when they move to the next process, requiring manual assistance to seal them. This makes it impossible to achieve fully automated operations, resulting in low work efficiency and failing to meet the needs of high-speed production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an XY bag transfer device that tightens the bag opening during the transfer process, preventing the packaging bag from tipping over and facilitating automated operation.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, an XY bag transfer device is provided, comprising a base plate, a movable frame, and a bag opening clamping mechanism. The base plate is connected to a longitudinal slider, the movable frame is connected to a longitudinal guide rail, the longitudinal guide rail and the longitudinal slider are fitted together, the movable frame is connected to a longitudinal drive mechanism, and the bag opening clamping mechanism is connected to the movable frame. The bag opening clamping mechanism includes a cross frame and clamping assemblies disposed at the left and right ends of the cross frame. The clamping assemblies include a fixed bracket, a gripper cylinder, and a clamping part. The gripper cylinder is mounted on the fixed bracket and drives the clamping part to open or close. The clamping parts of the two sets of clamping assemblies are arranged facing inwards relative to each other. The fixed bracket is connected to a flaring assembly. Therefore, the gripper cylinders on both sides drive the clamping parts to close, clamping the two sides of the bag opening. After the bag opening is clamped, the flaring assembly drives the fixed bracket to move the clamping parts on both sides outward, tightening the bag opening, i.e., the bag opening is tightened in the X-axis direction. After the bag opening is clamped and tightened, the longitudinal drive mechanism drives the moving frame. The longitudinal guide rail on the moving frame moves relative to the longitudinal slider, and the entire bag opening clamping mechanism moves with the moving frame, thus realizing the movement of the packaging bag in the Y-axis direction. During the transfer of the packaging bag, the bag opening remains tight and does not loosen, which can prevent the material from spilling out of the bag opening. When transferring to the next sealing process, because the bag opening is tight, it can be directly connected to the automated sealing machine without manual assistance, which is conducive to achieving automated operation and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0006] In some embodiments, the flaring assembly includes a flaring cylinder, a fixed base, and a connecting rod. A crossbeam is connected to a machine frame, and the flaring cylinder is connected to the machine frame via the fixed base. The piston rod of the flaring cylinder is connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to a fixed bracket. The fixed bracket is connected to a transverse slider, and the crossbeam is provided with a transverse guide rail that cooperates with the transverse slider. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the flaring cylinder drives the position of the clamping assembly to finely adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping parts. Thus, the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the flaring cylinder drives the fixed bracket to move along the transverse guide rail via the connecting rod, realizing that the two sets of clamping parts move in opposite directions or relative to each other. When the two sets of clamping parts move outward in opposite directions, the bag opening is pulled taut and straightened.

[0007] In some embodiments, a connecting plate is provided below the frame, and the connecting plate is connected to a bag-blocking assembly via a support. Thus, when the moving frame moves the packaging bag along the Y-axis, the bag-blocking assembly can block the side wall of the packaging bag, thereby supporting the packaging bag and preventing it from tilting or tipping over during the transfer process.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bag-blocking assembly includes a bag-blocking cylinder and a bag-blocking plate. The bag-blocking cylinder is mounted on a support and has a rotating arm. The bag-blocking plate is connected to the rotating arm. Thus, the bag-blocking cylinder drives the rotating arm to rotate, and the bag-blocking plate connected to the rotating arm rotates with the rotating arm. The bag-blocking plate can rotate 90 degrees to block the two adjacent sidewalls of the packaging bag, ensuring the stability of the packaging bag during transfer.

[0009] In some embodiments, two sets of bag-mouth clamping mechanisms are provided, located on the left and right sides of the substrate. Thus, the two sets of bag-mouth clamping mechanisms can simultaneously drive and transfer two packaging bags, improving work efficiency.

[0010] In some implementations, two sets of longitudinal sliders, longitudinal guide rails, and movable frames are provided, and the two sets of frames are connected by a connecting plate. The longitudinal drive mechanism is connected to one of the movable frames. Thus, when the longitudinal drive mechanism drives the movable frame on one side to move, the movable frame on the other side will move synchronously. The synchronous transfer of packaging bags on both sides can be achieved through a single longitudinal drive mechanism, saving production costs.

[0011] In some embodiments, the longitudinal drive mechanism includes a longitudinal drive cylinder, a connecting rod, and a cylinder seat. The longitudinal drive cylinder is connected to the cylinder seat, which is mounted on the base plate. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively connected to a movable frame and the piston rod of the longitudinal drive cylinder. Thus, the piston rod of the longitudinal drive cylinder extends and retracts, driving the movable frame through the connecting rod. Utilizing the longitudinal slider and longitudinal guide rail, the packaging bag moves in the Y-axis direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the clamping part includes a fixed gripper and a movable gripper, which are on the same horizontal plane. The extension and retraction of the baffle cylinder can drive the baffle plate to turn away from the frame. Thus, using a fixed gripper on one side of the clamping part facilitates adjustment. During transfer, when the packaged bag moves towards the frame, the baffle plate supports the packaged bag from the side, preventing the packaged bag from tilting towards the frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, a displacement slider is provided above the substrate, and the displacement slider is connected to a displacement guide rail. Thus, the displacement guide rail can be connected to other devices. When the packaging bag is rotated along the Y-axis, the two sets of bag mouth clamping mechanisms can be moved laterally, i.e., in the X-axis direction, by moving the displacement slider along the displacement guide rail.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The XY bag transfer device provided by the present invention is scientific and reasonable, and can transfer two packaging bags at the same time. After the clamping part closes and clamps the two sides of the bag opening, the piston rod of the flaring cylinder extends to drive the two sets of clamping parts to move outward in opposite directions, and the bag opening is tightened and straightened. The piston rod of the longitudinal drive cylinder retracts to drive the longitudinal guide rail on the moving frame to move backward relative to the longitudinal slider. The two packaging bags move backward with the moving frame. During the transfer process, the bag opening is tightened and does not loosen. The bag blocking cylinder drives the bag blocking plate to block the bag body, which can prevent the packaging bag from tilting and also prevent the material from pouring out of the bag opening. When transferring to the next sealing process, because the bag opening is tight, it can be directly connected to the automated sealing machine without manual assistance, which is conducive to realizing automated operation and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 and 3As shown, an XY bag transfer device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base plate 1, a movable frame 2, and a bag opening clamping mechanism 3. A longitudinal slider 211 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base plate 1 by screws. A longitudinal guide rail 21 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable frame 2, and the longitudinal guide rail 21 cooperates with the longitudinal slider 211. The movable frame 2 is connected to a longitudinal drive mechanism 22, and the bag opening clamping mechanism 3 is connected to the movable frame 2. The bag opening clamping mechanism 3 includes a horizontal frame 31 and clamping assemblies 32 located at the left and right ends of the horizontal frame 31. The clamping assembly 32 includes a fixed bracket 321, a gripper cylinder 322, and a clamping part 323. The gripper cylinder 322 is fixedly installed above the fixed bracket 321 by screws. The piston rod of the gripper cylinder 322 is connected to the clamping part 323 and drives the clamping part 323 to open or close. The piston rod of the gripper cylinder 322 faces away from the horizontal frame 31, and the clamping parts 323 of the two sets of clamping assemblies 32 are arranged facing inwards relative to each other. A flaring assembly 4 is connected to the back of the fixed bracket 321. The gripper cylinders 322 on both sides drive the clamping parts 323 to close, clamping both sides of the bag opening. After the bag opening is clamped, the flaring assembly 4 drives the fixed bracket 321 to move the clamping parts 323 to the left and right sides, tightening the bag opening, i.e., tightening the bag opening in the X-axis direction. After the bag opening is clamped and tightened, the longitudinal drive mechanism 22 drives the moving frame 2. The longitudinal guide rail 21 on the moving frame 2 moves relative to the longitudinal slider 211, and the entire bag opening clamping mechanism 3 moves with the moving frame 2 in the front-back direction, thus realizing the movement of the packaging bag in the Y-axis direction. During the transfer of the packaging bag, the bag opening remains tight and does not loosen, preventing material from spilling out. Furthermore, when transferring to the next sealing process, because the bag opening is tight, it can be directly connected to an automated sealing machine without manual assistance, facilitating automated operation and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 5 As shown, the flaring assembly 4 includes a flaring cylinder 41, a fixed base 42, and a connecting rod 43. A frame 33 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the crossbeam 31, and the flaring cylinder 41 is connected to the rear side of the frame 33 via the fixed base 42. The connecting rod 43 has an L-shaped structure; the piston rod of the flaring cylinder 41 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 43, and the other end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to a fixed bracket 321. A transverse slider 34 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed bracket 321 by screws. A transverse guide rail 341 that cooperates with the transverse slider 34 is provided on the crossbeam 31, and the transverse guide rail 341 is fixed to the crossbeam 31 by screws. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the flaring cylinder 41 drives the position of the clamping assembly 32 to finely adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping parts 323. Specifically, the piston rod of the flaring cylinder 41 extends and retracts, which drives the fixed bracket 321 to move along the transverse guide rail 341 through the connecting rod 43, so that the two sets of clamping parts 323 move in opposite directions or relative to each other. When the two sets of clamping parts 323 move outward in opposite directions, the bag opening is pulled tight and straightened.

[0023] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a connecting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the frame 33. The connecting plate 35 is connected to a bag-blocking assembly 5 via an L-shaped support 351. The bag-blocking assembly 5 includes a bag-blocking cylinder 51 and a bag-blocking plate 52. The bag-blocking cylinder 51 is mounted on the support 351 and has a rotating arm 511. The bag-blocking plate 52 is connected to the rotating arm 511. When the moving frame 2 drives the packaging bag to move along the Y-axis (i.e., the longitudinal slider 211), the bag-blocking cylinder 51 drives the rotating arm 511 to rotate. The bag-blocking plate 52 connected to the rotating arm 511 rotates with the rotating arm 511, and the bag-blocking plate 52 can rotate 90 degrees (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it blocks the two adjacent side walls of the packaging bag, which helps to support the body of the packaging bag and prevents the packaging bag from tilting or falling over during the transfer process, thus ensuring the stability of the packaging bag during the transfer.

[0024] like Figure 2 and 5 As shown, there are two sets of bag-mouth clamping mechanisms 3, located on the left and right sides of the base plate 1. The two sets of bag-mouth clamping mechanisms 3 can simultaneously drive and transfer two packaging bags, improving work efficiency. There are two sets of longitudinal sliders 211, longitudinal guide rails 21, and moving frames 2. The two sets of frames 33 are connected by a connecting plate 23. A longitudinal drive mechanism 22 connects to one side of the moving frame 2. The bottoms of the two moving frames 2 are connected by a plate 24, and the plate 24 and the connecting plate 23 are fixed with screws. When the longitudinal drive mechanism 22 drives one side of the moving frame 2 to move, the other side's moving frame 2 will move synchronously. Synchronous transfer of packaging bags on both sides can be achieved through a single longitudinal drive mechanism 22, saving production costs.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the longitudinal drive mechanism 22 includes a longitudinal drive cylinder 221, a connecting rod 222, and a cylinder seat 223. The cylinder body of the longitudinal drive cylinder 221 is connected to the cylinder seat 223, which is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The two ends of the connecting rod 222 are respectively connected to the movable frame 2 and the piston rod of the longitudinal drive cylinder 221. The piston rod of the longitudinal drive cylinder 221 extends and retracts, driving the movable frame 2 through the connecting rod 222. The longitudinal slider 211 and the longitudinal guide rail 21 are used to realize the movement of the packaging bag in the Y-axis direction.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping part 323 includes a fixed clamping jaw 3231 and a movable clamping jaw 3232. The fixed clamping jaw 3231 and the movable clamping jaw 3232 are on the same horizontal plane. The extension and retraction of the bag-blocking cylinder 51 can drive the bag-blocking plate 52 to turn away from the frame 33. The fixed clamping jaw 3231 on one side of the clamping part 323 facilitates adjustment. When the bag is moved, it moves towards the frame 33. The bag-blocking plate 52 supports the bag from the side, preventing the bag from tilting towards the frame 33.

[0027] A displacement slider 6 is provided above the substrate 1, and the displacement slider 6 is connected to a displacement guide rail 61 (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown). The displacement guide rail 61 can be connected to other devices. After the packaging bag moves along the Y-axis, the two sets of bag mouth clamping mechanisms 3 can be moved in the lateral direction, i.e., in the X-axis direction, by moving the displacement slider 6 along the displacement guide rail 61.

[0028] The XY bag transfer device provided by this invention is scientifically sound and can transfer two packaging bags simultaneously. After the clamping part 323 closes and clamps the two sides of the bag opening, the piston rod of the flaring cylinder 41 extends to drive the two sets of clamping parts 323 to move outward in opposite directions, tightening the bag opening. The piston rod of the longitudinal drive cylinder 221 retracts to drive the longitudinal guide rail 21 on the moving frame 2 to move backward relative to the longitudinal slider 211, and the two packaging bags move backward with the moving frame 2. During the transfer process, the bag opening remains tight and does not loosen, and the bag-blocking cylinder 51 drives the bag-blocking plate 52 to block the bag body, preventing the packaging bag from tilting and preventing materials from spilling out of the bag opening. When transferring to the next sealing process, because the bag opening is tight, it can be directly connected to an automated sealing machine without manual assistance, which is conducive to automated operation and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0029] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make other modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
