DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0026] The present invention is an efficient one-to-many material discharging and unloading device, which is applied to a stretch film packaging machine 10 having a plurality of workstations 11, and comprises an unloading assembly 20, a horizontal transfer device 30 and a temporary storage assembly 40 which are sequentially arranged on the stretch film packaging machine 10 according to the working procedures.

[0027] The temporary storage component 40 includes a temporary storage tray 41 and an opening and closing component 42. The temporary storage tray 41 is provided with a storage hopper 411 corresponding to the station 11 of the stretch film packaging machine 10. The opening and closing component 42 is used to realize the simultaneous opening and closing of the discharge ports of all the storage hoppers 411.

[0028] The horizontal transfer device 30 is used to transfer the materials of the discharge assembly 20 to each storage hopper 411 respectively.

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 6 Shown is a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] The opening and closing assembly 42 includes two sets of linkage parts 421 and a first driving device 422. The discharge port of the storage hopper 411 is set as two hinges 4111. The two linkage parts 421 are respectively connected to the hinges 4111 on the left and right sides of all the storage hoppers 411 to ensure that the hinges 4111 are opened and closed at the same time; the first driving device 422 is used to drive the linkage parts 421 to realize the opening and closing of the two hinges 4111, that is, the opening and closing of the discharge port of the storage hopper 411. In this embodiment, the first driving device 422 is a cylinder.

[0031] The above-mentioned linkage 421 includes a transfer rod 4211 connected to the first drive device 422 and a plurality of connecting rods 4212 connected to the transfer rod 4211 at one end, and the number of connecting rods 4212 corresponds to the number of rows of the storage hopper 411; the connecting rods 4212 of the two linkage members 421 are respectively located on both sides of the storage hopper 411, and the hinges 4111 on the same side of the storage hopper 411 in the same row are all connected to the corresponding connecting rods 4212.

[0032] The connecting rod 4212 and the hinge 4111 are connected via a compression spring 423 , and the elastic force of the compression spring 423 ensures that the hinge 4111 is opened and closed in place.

[0033] The overall action time of the above-mentioned discharge device is 0.8-1.5s, and it can achieve 40-70 times of receiving and discharging materials per minute.

[0034] The material discharging action of the above-mentioned storage hopper 411 includes two actions of opening and closing, and the time is within 1 second. In this embodiment, the opening and closing action time of the storage hopper 411 is controlled within 0.3-0.6 seconds.

[0035] The horizontal transfer device 30 includes a receiving hopper 31, an X-axis module 32, a Y-axis module 33, a receiving hopper switch 34, and a second drive device 35. The X-axis module 32 and the Y-axis module 33 are used to drive the horizontal movement of the receiving hopper 31 so that the receiving hopper 31 is opposite to one of the storage hoppers 411; the receiving hopper switch 34 is set at the discharge port of the receiving hopper 31, and the second drive device 35 is used to control the receiving hopper switch 34 to realize the discharge action of the receiving hopper 31. In this embodiment, the X-axis module 32 is installed on the Y-axis module 33, and the receiving hopper 31 is installed on the X-axis module 32 through the connecting plate 36. In this embodiment, the second drive device 35 is a cylinder.

[0036] The material discharging action time of the above-mentioned receiving hopper 31 is 0.2-0.4s; the horizontal movement time of the receiving hopper 31 to each storage hopper 411 is 0.3-0.5s.

[0037] According to production requirements, the above-mentioned X-direction module 32 and Y-direction module 33 can enable the hopper 31 to step 1-4 stations 11 in the X-direction and the Y-direction, for example: step 2 stations 11 in the X-direction, step 3 stations 11 in the Y-direction, a total of 6 stations 11; step 3 stations 11 in the X-direction, step 3 stations 11 in the Y-direction, a total of 9 stations 11.

[0038] The above-mentioned unloading component 20 is a multi-head weigher unloading device.

[0039] The above-mentioned discharge assembly 20 includes a frame 21, a discharge hopper 22 installed on the frame 21, and an opening and closing cover 23 for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port of the discharge hopper 22.

[0040] The working process of the present invention is: the receiving hopper 31 discharges the material → the horizontal transfer device 30 transfers the receiving hopper 31 according to the "XY" running path → each portion of material is distributed to each storage hopper 411 → the discharge port of the storage hopper 411 is opened at the moment when all the storage hoppers 411 have materials, ensuring that all the materials fall into the workstation 11 of the stretch film packaging machine 10 (that is, the mold to be packaged) at one time, and then the discharge ports of the storage hoppers 411 are closed at the same time.

[0041] Through the above scheme, the present invention sets a temporary storage component 40 between the workstation 11 of the stretch film packaging machine 10 and the horizontal transfer device 30, so that the packaging process of the stretch film packaging machine 10 and the unloading process of the unloading component 20 can be separated and do not interfere with each other. The temporary storage component 40 is used as a "transfer station" for materials. The packaging process and the unloading process can be carried out simultaneously, which reduces the waiting time of the stretch film packaging machine 10 or the unloading component 20. Compared with traditional equipment, the production processes can be more closely connected, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0042] In addition, the present invention has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to disassemble and clean, and can well meet the requirements of sanitary cleaning.

[0043] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present invention.
