Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of thin film packaging, in particular to a suspension packaging feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of thin film roll packaging, the existing packaging methods mainly include vertical packaging, horizontal packaging, and suspension packaging.

[0003] During the packaging and transportation of packaging film materials, vertical packaging will cause the end face of the thin film to be pressed and turned up, while horizontal packaging will cause the side of the film roll 62 to directly contact and be pressed, which will cause the thin film to be deformed by pressure and affect the subsequent processing quality.

[0004] Therefore, as Figure 1 shown, for some thin films with high quality requirements, generally a suspension packaging process that has emerged in recent years is required. Suspension packaging is to place the support plates 63 at both ends of the film roll 62. A through hole 61 is opened in the middle of the support plate 63, so that the core of the film roll 62 penetrates into the through hole 61, and a plug 64 is inserted into the core. The support plates 63 are mostly rectangular and can be placed vertically. The support plates 63 are tied with plastic steel belts. After packaging, the film roll 62 is suspended between the two support plates.

[0005] However, since it is currently difficult to accurately position the support plates 63, the existing suspension packaging mainly needs to be completed manually. Manually prepare the support plates 63 and use a crane to place the support plates at both ends of the film roll, and then manually install them at both ends of the film roll. Finally, the plugs also need to be manually installed at both ends of the film roll, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the work efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Refer to Figures 1 to 13, A suspension packaging feeding device, including a gantry 18, a first transverse movement mechanism 16, a second transverse movement mechanism 17, a clamping plate gripper, a plug gripper and a feeding device; the first transverse movement mechanism 16 is arranged on the gantry 18; the second transverse movement mechanism 17 is arranged on the gantry 18; the clamping plate gripper is arranged on the first transverse movement mechanism 16, and the first transverse movement mechanism 16 drives the clamping plate gripper to reciprocate in the left-right direction; the plug gripper is arranged on the second transverse movement mechanism 17, and the second transverse movement mechanism 17 drives the plug gripper to reciprocate in the left-right direction; the feeding device is arranged beside the gantry 18, and the feeding device is arranged within the working space of the plug gripper and the clamping plate gripper. The feeding device is used to place a plurality of stacked clamping plates 63 and position the clamping plates 63 in terms of length or width. The feeding device is used to stack and place plugs 64 and restrict the radial freedom of the plugs 64.

[0036] As can be seen from the above, during use, the film roll 62 to be packaged can be horizontally arranged on an external support frame. A plurality of stacked clamping plates 63 are placed on the feeding device, and by positioning the clamping plates 63 in terms of length or width, it is convenient for the clamping plate gripper to position and clamp the clamping plates 63. In addition, the feeding device is used to stack and place plugs 64 and restrict the radial freedom of the plugs 64, which is convenient for the plug gripper to grab the plugs 64. At the same time, through the setting of the first transverse movement mechanism 16 and the second transverse movement mechanism 17, it is convenient to transfer the clamping plate gripper and the plug gripper so as to install them on the film roll 62 after grabbing the clamping plates 63 and the plugs 64.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first transverse movement mechanism 16 includes a first transverse belt mechanism 161 fixed on the gantry 18 and a first guide rail 162 fixed on the gantry 18. The clamping plate gripper is slidably matched with the first guide rail 162, and the first transverse belt mechanism 161 drives the clamping plate gripper to reciprocate in the left-right direction. This structure is simple and convenient to set. By setting the first transverse belt mechanism 161, it is convenient for long-distance transfer.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second transverse movement mechanism 17 includes a second transverse belt mechanism 171 fixed on the gantry 18 and a second guide rail 172. The second guide rail 172 is fixed on the gantry 18, and the second transverse belt mechanism 171 drives the plug gripper to reciprocate in the left-right direction. This structure is simple and convenient to set. By setting the second transverse belt mechanism 171, it is convenient for long-distance transfer.

[0039] In addition, in certain embodiments, the clamping plate gripper and the plug gripper are respectively and simultaneously slidably matched with the first guide rail 162 and the second guide rail 172.

[0040] In some embodiments, the clamping plate gripper includes: a gripper frame, a vertical movement device 15, a second swing device 11, a fixture frame, a drive assembly 13, and clamping blocks 14; the vertical movement device 15 is disposed on the gripper frame, a connecting plate 153 is provided on the vertical movement device 15, the vertical movement device 15 drives the connecting plate 153 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, and the connecting plate 153 is fixedly connected to the movable part of the first transverse movement mechanism 16; the second swing device 11 is disposed on the gripper frame; the fixture frame is fixed to the movable part of the second swing device 11, the second swing device 11 drives the fixture frame to swing, and the swing axis of the second swing device 11 is disposed in the left-right direction; the drive assembly 13 is disposed on the fixture frame; two clamping blocks 14 are provided, the drive assembly 13 drives the two clamping blocks 14 to move synchronously towards each other or away from each other, and the clamping plate 63 is clamped between the two clamping blocks 14.

[0041] As can be seen from the above, during use, the drive assembly 13 is installed on the fixture frame, and the drive assembly 13 is used to drive the two clamping blocks 14 to move synchronously towards each other or away from each other. Thus, when clamping the clamping plate 63 of the peripheral device, the centering of the clamping plate 63 can be conveniently achieved, so as to position the clamping plate 63 in terms of length or width. The second swing device 11 drives the fixture frame to flip, so that the clamping plate 63 clamped by the two clamping blocks 14 can be flipped accordingly, and thus the stacked and flat clamping plates 63 can be clamped one by one and rotated to the vertical position for installation at both ends of the film roll 62. In addition, the user can connect the connecting plate 153 to the movable part of the first transverse movement mechanism 16. In some embodiments, the connecting plate 153 is fixedly connected to the belt of the first transverse belt mechanism 161, and the first transverse belt mechanism 161 drives the connecting plate 153 to move left and right. Driven by the vertical movement device 15, the up-and-down movement of the gripper frame can be achieved.

[0042] In some embodiments, the vertical movement device 15 includes a first motor 152 fixed on the gripper frame and a first belt conveyor assembly 151 disposed on the fixture frame. The belt of the first belt conveyor assembly 151 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 153, and the first motor drives the first belt conveyor assembly 151 to operate. This structure is simple and convenient to set. The first motor 152 drives the first belt conveyor assembly 151 to move, and then the first belt conveyor assembly 151 drives the connecting plate 153 to move. During use, the first belt conveyor assembly 151 is disposed vertically.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 153 is in sliding fit with the first guide rail 162 and / or the second guide rail 172.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second swing device 11 includes a reduction motor 111 fixed on the gripper frame and a second swing arm 112 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 111. The second swing arm 112 is fixedly connected to the fixture frame, and the output shaft of the reduction motor 111 is arranged in the horizontal direction. This structure is simple and convenient to set up, and can realize the swing of the second swing arm 112 driven by the reduction motor 111, thereby driving the swing of the fixture frame.

[0045] In some embodiments, the two clamping blocks 14 are respectively referred to as a first block 141 and a second block 142. The driving assembly 13 includes a material pushing mechanism 131 and a transmission mechanism 132. The material pushing mechanism 131 is drivingly connected to the first block 141, and the material pushing mechanism drives the first block 141 to move in the left-right direction. The transmission mechanism 132 includes a second gear 1322 arranged on the fixture frame, a second rack 1321 fixed on the first block 141, and a third rack 1323 fixed on the second block 142. The second gear 1322 is rotatable relative to the fixture frame. The tooth surfaces of the second rack 1321 and the third rack 1323 face each other. The second gear 1322 is arranged between the second rack 1321 and the third rack 1323. The second rack 1321 and the third rack 1323 respectively mesh with the second gear 1322. The length directions of the second rack 1321 and the third rack 1323 are arranged in the left-right direction. In actual use, the material pushing mechanism 131 pushes the first block 141 to move away from the second block 142. Through the setting of the transmission mechanism 132, it is realized that the second block 142 moves away from the first block 141 while moving away from the first block 141. Of course, when the material pushing mechanism 131 drives the first block 141 to move towards the second block 142, the second block 142 also moves towards the first block 141 synchronously under the transmission action of the transmission mechanism 132.

[0046] During use, the second rack 1321 and the third rack 1323 respectively engage with the second gear 1322. Thus, when the material pushing mechanism 131 drives the first block 141 to move away from the second block 142, the second rack 1321 moves away from the third rack 1323. Under the transmission action of the second gear 1322, the third rack 1323 also synchronously moves away from the second rack 1321, realizing the mutual separation movement of the first block 141 and the second block 142. When the material pushing mechanism 131 drives the first block 141 to move towards the geothermal plate, the second rack 1321 moves towards the third rack 1323. Under the meshing of the second gear 1322, the third rack 1323 also drives the second block 142 to move towards the first block 141, realizing the synchronous approaching or separating movement actions of the first block 141 and the second block 142, which is convenient for centering and clamping the clamping plate 63.

[0047] In some embodiments, two transmission mechanisms 132 are provided, and the two transmission mechanisms 132 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotation axis of the second swing device 11. This structure is simple and convenient to set up. Through the setting of this structure, the structure is very stable.

[0048] In some embodiments, two bushings are provided on the fixture rack. The length of the bushings is arranged along the material pushing direction of the material pushing mechanism. Both ends of the second rack 1321 are provided with second guide rods, and the second guide rods are fixedly connected to the second rack 1321. Both ends of the third rack 1323 are respectively provided with third guide rods, and the third guide rods are fixedly connected to the third rack 1323. The second guide rods are arranged in one of the bushings, and the third guide rods are arranged in the other bushing. The second guide rod 1324 and the third guide rod 1325 are respectively arranged in a corresponding bushing, and the second guide rod 1324 and the third guide rod 1325 are respectively in sliding fit with the inner wall of the corresponding bushing. By guiding the second guide rod 1324 and the third guide rod 1325 through the bushings, the clamping block 14 moves more stably.

[0049] Preferably, the first block 141 and the second block 142 are arranged along the swing axis direction of the second swing device 11.

[0050] In some embodiments, the plug gripper includes: a frame, a lifting device 7, a mounting frame 8, a first swing device 9, and a clamp 10; the frame is disposed on the second transverse movement mechanism 17, and the second transverse movement mechanism 17 drives the frame to reciprocate in the left-right direction; the lifting device 7 is disposed on the frame; the mounting frame 8 is disposed on the lifting device 7, and the lifting device 7 drives the mounting frame 8 to reciprocate in the up-down direction; the first swing device 9 is disposed on the mounting frame 8, the first swing device 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 8; the clamp 10 is disposed on the first swing device 9, the rotation axis of the first swing device 9 is disposed in the horizontal direction, and the clamp 10 is used for clamping the plug 64.

[0051] During use, the lifting device 7 on the frame drives the mounting frame 8 to reciprocate up and down, thereby realizing the reciprocating up and down movement of the clamp 10 and the first swing device 9; the clamp 10 is used for clamping the plug 64, and the swing mechanism is used for driving the clamp 10 to flip. During use, the user can use the clamp 10 to clamp the highest plug 64 stacked. After the clamping is completed, through the flipping device, the angle required for the rotation of the plug 64 can be adjusted. For example, the plug 64 can be flipped by ninety degrees to install the plug 64 on the film roll 62.

[0052] In certain embodiments, the frame is in sliding fit with the first guide rail 162 and / or the second guide rail 172.

[0053] In some embodiments, the lifting device 7 includes a guiding structure 71 fixed to the frame, a lifting motor 72 fixed to the frame, a first gear disposed on the output shaft of the lifting motor 72, and a first rack 73 fixed to the mounting frame 8. The first rack 73 meshes with the first gear. The guiding structure 71 is used for guiding the movement direction of the mounting frame 8 to enable the mounting frame 8 to move in the up-down direction. The first rack 73 is disposed vertically. The first gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 72, and the axis of the first gear is collinear with the axis of the output shaft of the lifting motor 72. This structure is simple and convenient to set. The guiding structure 71 is used for guiding the vertical movement direction of the mounting frame 8 to ensure that the mounting frame 8 moves vertically. During use, the lifting motor 72 drives the first gear to rotate. Since the first gear and the first rack 73 mesh with each other, and at the same time the guiding structure 71 guides the mounting frame 8, thereby, under the drive of the lifting motor 72, the mounting frame 8 moves up and down.

[0054] In some embodiments, the guiding structure 71 includes a second slide rail 711 fixed to the mounting bracket 8, a guiding frame 713 fixedly connected to the machine frame, and a second slider 712 fixed to the guiding frame 713. The second slider 712 is slidably engaged with the second slide rail 711, and the second slide rail 711 extends vertically. This structure is simple and convenient to set up. By setting this structure, the vertical movement of the mounting bracket 8 can be guided.

[0055] In some embodiments, two second slide rails 711 are provided. The two second slide rails 711 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 8 facing away from each other or facing each other. A second slider 712 cooperating with the corresponding second slide rail 711 is provided on each second slide rail 711, and all the second sliders 712 are fixed to the guiding frame 713. By adopting two vertically arranged second slide rails 711, which are arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 8 facing away from each other or facing each other, the stability of the vertical movement of the mounting bracket 8 is ensured.

[0056] In some embodiments, the two second slide rails 711 are arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 8 facing away from each other. This structure is simple and convenient to set up. The two second slide rails 711 are arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 8 facing away from each other, and their installation is very convenient.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first swinging device 9 includes a first swing arm 91 connected to the mounting bracket 8 through a rotating shaft, and a driver fixed to the mounting bracket 8. The driver drives the first swing arm 91 to rotate around the rotating shaft, and the axis of the rotating shaft extends in the horizontal direction. By setting this structure, the rotation of the first swing arm 91 is realized.

[0058] In some embodiments, the driver is a swinging cylinder 92 or a driving motor.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fixture 10 includes a bracket 101 fixedly connected to the first swing device 9, a pneumatic gripper 102 disposed on the bracket 101, and two clamping block assemblies 103 disposed on the pneumatic gripper 102. The two clamping block assemblies 103 are spaced along the axis of rotation of the first swing device 9. The pneumatic gripper 102 drives the fixture 10 to move towards each other or away from each other. A clamping space is formed between the two clamping block assemblies 103 for clamping the plug 64. During use, the pneumatic gripper 102 drives the two clamping block assemblies 103 to move towards or away from each other synchronously. The two fixture assemblies 10 are spaced along the axis of rotation of the first swing device 9, so that the clamping space formed between the two fixture assemblies 10 can be flipped by the swing of the first swing device 9 after clamping the plug 64.

[0060] In some embodiments, the clamping block assembly 103 includes a frame 1033 fixedly connected to the driving part of the pneumatic gripper 102, an adjusting bolt 1034 disposed on the frame 1033, and a clamping block body 1031 fixedly connected to the adjusting bolt 1034. The adjusting bolt 1034 is fixed to the frame 1033 by a nut. The clamping block bodies 1031 on the two clamping block assemblies 103 form the clamping space. The adjusting bolt 1034 is fixed to the frame 1033 by a nut, and the user can adjust the position of the clamping block assembly 103 by adjusting the position of the nut on the frame 1033 for clamping, so as to facilitate clamping of plugs 64 of various specifications.

[0061] In some embodiments, grooves 1032 are formed on the mutually facing surfaces of the two clamping block bodies 1031. The grooves 1032 extend to both ends of the clamping block. A fillet or chamfer is provided between the bottom surface and the side surface of the groove 1032. Through the setting of this structure, when the clamping block body 1031 clamps the plug 64, the contact area between the clamping block body 1031 and the plug 64 is larger, and the clamping is more reliable.

[0062] In some embodiments, the feeding device includes: a base 1, a front-back movement mechanism 2, an up-down movement mechanism 3, a guiding component 4, and a plug placing mechanism; the base 1 is disposed beside the gantry 18; the front-back movement mechanism 2 is disposed on the base 1; the up-down movement mechanism 3 is disposed on the base 1, and the up-down movement mechanism 3 is used to stack and store the support clamping plates 63 and limit the through holes 61 on the support clamping plates 63. The up-down movement mechanism 3 drives the support clamping plates 63 to reciprocate in the up-down direction, and the up-down movement mechanism 3 is disposed within the working space of the clamping plate gripper; the guiding component 4 includes a base frame 41 and a limiting plate 42 fixed on the base frame 41. The front-back movement mechanism 2 drives the base frame 41 to reciprocate in the front-back direction. The limiting plate 42 extends vertically, and the limiting plate 42 is used to abut against the side edges of the support clamping plates 63 on the up-down movement mechanism 3 so that the length or width of the support clamping plates 63 is uniformly arranged in the left-right direction; the plug placing mechanism is disposed on the base 1, and the plug placing mechanism is used to stack and place plugs 64 and limit the radial degrees of freedom of the plugs 64.

[0063] During use, the user can stack a plurality of support clamping plates 63 on the up-down movement mechanism 3. The up-down movement mechanism 3 limits the through holes 61 on the support clamping plates 63, thereby restricting the radial movement degrees of freedom of the support clamping plates 63 along the through holes 61. The front-back movement mechanism 2 is used to drive the guiding component 4 to move towards the support clamping plates 63, so that the guiding component 4 abuts against the side surfaces of the support clamping plates 63, thereby restricting the rotational degrees of freedom of the support clamping plates 63 around the through holes 61, so that the position of each support clamping plate 63 is determined. During use, the up-down movement mechanism 3 can be used to drive the support clamping plates 63 to move up and down to realize feeding of the support clamping plates 63. Thus, when feeding each support clamping plate 63 one by one, the physical position of the support clamping plate 63 can be unique. In addition, since the plugs 64 are circular, after restricting the radial degrees of freedom of the plugs 64, positioning and clamping of the plugs 64 can be realized.

[0064] In some embodiments, the front-back movement mechanism 2 includes a first slide rail 21 disposed on the base 1, a first slider 22 slidably engaged with the first slide rail 21, and a front-back movement device. The guiding component 4 is fixed on the first slider 22. The front-back movement device is disposed on the base 1, and the front-back movement device drives the first slider 22 to reciprocate in the front-back direction. The first slide rail 21 extends in the front-back direction. This structure is simple and convenient to arrange. The front-back movement device drives the first slider 22 to reciprocate along the length direction of the first slide rail 21. The first slide rail 21 is used to limit the first slider 22, so that the movement direction of the first slider 22 always moves along the front-back direction, ensuring that the guiding component 4 moves along the front-back direction.

[0065] In some embodiments, the front-back movement device is a servo electric cylinder 23. The fixed part of the servo electric cylinder 23 is fixed on the base 1, and the movable part of the servo electric cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the first slider 22. This structure is simple and convenient to set up. Through the setting of this structure, the first slider 22 can be driven to move in the front-back direction.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the front-back movement device may also include a first electric lead screw disposed on the base 1 and a first nut threadedly engaged with the first electric lead screw. The first nut is fixedly connected to the guiding assembly 4. The user can also adopt such an implementation scheme to drive the first slider 22 to move in the front-back direction.

[0067] Specifically, the user can select to use the servo electric cylinder 23 or the first electric lead screw and the nut cooperating with the first electric lead screw according to different requirements, such as the size of the supporting clamping plate 63 and the corresponding speed.

[0068] The guiding assembly 4 includes a base frame 41 and a limiting plate 42 fixed on the base frame 41. The front-back movement mechanism 2 drives the base frame 41 to reciprocate in the front-back direction, and the limiting plate 42 extends vertically. In some embodiments, the base frame 41 is fixedly connected to the first slider 22, and the servo electric cylinder 23 drives the first slider 22 to move in the front-back direction.

[0069] In some embodiments, the surface of the limiting plate 42 facing the up-down movement mechanism 3 is arranged perpendicular to the front-back direction. This structure is simple and convenient to set up. Through the setting of this structure, the side of the supporting clamping plate 63 arranged on the up-down movement mechanism 3 can be abutted by the surface of the limiting plate 42 facing the up-down movement. During the process of abutting the supporting clamping plate 63, if there is a certain angle between the side of the supporting clamping plate 63 and the limiting plate 42, the limiting plate 42 drives the supporting clamping plate 63 to rotate around the through hole 61, so that the widths and lengths of all the supporting clamping plates 63 arranged on the up-down movement mechanism 3 are aligned.

[0070] In some embodiments, the plug placing mechanism includes a second electric screw rod 51 disposed on the base 1, a second nut 52 threadedly engaged with the second electric screw rod 51, a guide cylinder 53 surrounding the circumferential surface of the second electric screw rod 51, and a support plate 54 slidably engaged with the outer side surface of the guide cylinder 53. The guide cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The guide cylinder 53 extends vertically and the second electric screw rod 51 extends vertically. The second nut 52 is disposed within the guide cylinder 53. An installation hole penetrating through the support plate 54 is formed on the support plate 54. The installation hole is sleeved on the guide cylinder 53. A connection hole 530 is formed on the guide cylinder 53. The length of the connection hole 530 extends vertically. The support plate 54 passes through the connection hole 530 and is fixedly connected to the second nut 52.

[0071] The user can place the plug 64 on the support plate 54. Generally, a positioning hole is formed on the plug 64. The guide cylinder 53 passes through the positioning hole, so as to limit the plug 64 in the radial direction of the guide cylinder 53. The support plate slides on the guide cylinder 53 through the installation hole, so that the support plate reciprocates vertically. The support plate passes through the connection hole 530 and is fixedly connected to the second nut 52, so as to limit the freedom degree of the rotation direction of the second nut 52. Furthermore, when the second electric screw rod 51 rotates, the second nut 52 can be driven to move in the up and down directions, so as to drive the support plate to move in the up and down directions.

[0072] In some embodiments, the up and down movement mechanism 3 includes a third electric screw rod 31 disposed on the base 1, a third nut 32 threadedly engaged with the third electric screw rod 31, a support tray 34 fixedly connected to the third nut 32, and a limiting member disposed on the base 1. The limiting member is used to limit the rotation of the third nut 32. The limiting member is inserted into a through hole 61 on the support clamping plate 63. By providing the limiting member, the through hole 61 of the support clamping plate 63 can be limited, and the freedom degree of the support clamping plate 63 moving in the radial direction of the through hole 61 is restricted. In addition, by restricting the freedom degree of rotation of the third nut 32 through the limiting member, when the third electric screw rod 31 rotates, the third nut 32 can be driven to move along the length direction of the third electric screw rod 31, so as to drive the support tray 34 to move in the up and down directions.

[0073] Optionally, the limiting member includes a plurality of limiting rods 351 fixed on the base 1. The limiting rods 351 extend vertically. A limiting hole 340 is formed on the support tray 34 or the third nut 32. The limiting rods 351 penetrate into the limiting hole 340. The limiting rods 351 are inserted inside the support clamping plate 63 to limit the through hole 61 of the support clamping plate 63. In addition, by providing the limiting hole 340 on the tray or the third nut 32, the rotation of the third nut 32 can be restricted.

[0074] Preferably, more than two limiting rods 351 are provided. Further preferably, four limiting rods 351 are provided. All the limiting rods 351 are inserted into the through holes 61 of the supporting clamping plate 63.

[0075] Preferably, the limiting hole 340 is provided on the supporting tray 34. Through the fixed connection between the supporting tray 34 and the third nut 32, the degree of freedom of rotation of the third nut 32 is restricted.

[0076] As some other embodiments, the limiting member includes a limiting sleeve 352. The limiting sleeve 352 extends vertically. An opening 3520 is formed on the limiting sleeve 352. The third nut 32 and the third electric lead screw 31 are arranged inside the limiting sleeve 352. A socket hole is formed on the supporting tray. The supporting tray is sleeved on the limiting sleeve 352 through the socket hole. The supporting tray passes through the opening 3520 and is fixedly connected to the third nut 32. During use, the limiting sleeve 352 is inserted into the through hole 61 of the supporting clamping plate 63 to limit the radial direction of the through hole 61. In addition, the supporting tray is sleeved on the outer side surface of the limiting sleeve 352 through the socket hole. At the same time, the supporting tray passes through the opening 3520 formed on the limiting sleeve 352 and is fixedly connected to the third nut 32. The degree of freedom of rotation of the third nut 32 is restricted through the opening 3520.
