[0029] Figure 2 FIG. shows a partial structural diagram of a material collection device according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and the description are considered to be exemplary in nature rather than restrictive.

[0031] Figure 1 FIG. shows a schematic structural diagram of a material collection device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 FIG. shows a partial structural diagram of a material collection device according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the material collection device includes a blanking mechanism, a diversion mechanism, and a conveying mechanism.

[0032] The blanking mechanism is used to receive the independent products cut by the bag cutting machine 400 and convey the independent products to the diversion mechanism.

[0033] In one example, the blanking mechanism is disposed close to the bag cutting machine 400, and the input end of the blanking mechanism is docked with the output end of the bag cutting machine 400.

[0034] In one example, the input end of the blanking mechanism is arranged below the output end of the bag cutting machine 400, so that the independent products cut by the bag cutting machine 400 can directly fall into the blanking mechanism.

[0035] The diversion mechanism includes a diversion groove 210. The input end of the diversion groove 210 is docked with the output end of the blanking mechanism, and the width of the diversion groove 210 is adapted to the thickness of the independent product.

[0036] The diversion groove 210 can be strip-shaped or curved, as long as the width of the diversion groove 210 can accommodate the thickness of at least one pack of independent products.

[0037] In one example, the width of the diversion groove 210 is adapted to the thickness of one pack of independent products, so that one pack of independent products can stand in the diversion groove 210 and move along with the diversion of the diversion groove 210 in a standing state.

[0038] The diversion method of the diversion groove 210 can be the method of arranging a conveying device at the bottom of the diversion groove 210, or other various diversion methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art now and in the future. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0039] The conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt 310 and a collection fixture 320. The collection fixture 320 is arranged above the first conveyor belt 310 to move along with the first conveyor belt 310; the collection fixture 320 is strip-shaped, including a bottom edge 321 and a plurality of side edges 322. The plurality of side edges 322 are perpendicular to the bottom edge 321 and the plurality of side edges 322 are arranged in a row on the bottom edge 321. Adjacent two side edges 322 form a collection groove for collecting independent products, and the width of the collection groove is adapted to the thickness of the independent product.

[0040] In one example, the thickness of the side edge 322 can be a relatively thin sheet, which is convenient for the plurality of independent products in the collection fixture 320 to be exported as a whole, and the plurality of independent products are still arranged in an orderly manner in a row.

[0041] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the plurality of side edges 322 are arranged in a row on the bottom edge 321, which is a preferred implementation. It can be known that arranging the plurality of side edges 322 in multiple rows on the bottom edge 321 is also possible to a certain extent. Therefore, different arrangement methods of the plurality of side edges 322 should also be within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0042] The diversion groove 210 diverts the independent products to the collection groove. As the first conveyor belt 310 conveys, the next independent product is diverted to the adjacent collection groove, so that the plurality of independent products output by the diversion groove 210 can form an orderly queue in the collection groove.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the independent products fall into the diversion chute 210 through the blanking mechanism. The independent products are in an upright state in the diversion chute 210. The upright independent products move along with the diversion of the diversion chute 210, are diverted to the first conveyor belt 310, and then the upright independent products are sequentially collected through the collection fixture 320 to form an orderly queue. When packaging the independent products, multiple independent products in the collection fixture 320 can be exported as a whole, which is convenient for orderly packaging of multiple independent products, so as to realize delivering the orderly arranged multiple independent products to the purchaser, enabling the purchaser to directly use the cut independent products, and even can automatically grab the independent products in a mechanized manner, improving the purchaser's usage experience.

[0044] In one embodiment, the blanking mechanism includes a slideway 100, and the end section slideway 110 of the slideway 100 has a downward vertical trend. Through the arrangement that the end section slideway 110 tends to be vertically downward, the independent products can fall vertically into the diversion chute 210, so as to be in an upright state in the diversion chute 210.

[0045] It should be noted that the end section slideway 110 in the embodiment of the present application has a downward vertical trend, which means that the end section slideway 110 may not be strictly vertically downward, and it also includes an inclination slightly at a certain angle with the vertical direction. As long as the situation that the independent products can fall into the diversion chute 210 and be in an upright state is achieved.

[0046] In an example, the end section slideway 110 is inclined at a certain angle with the vertical direction, and the side wall of the diversion chute 210 also has an inclination at a corresponding angle, which is also an implementable way of the present application. Further, the baffle in the collection fixture 320 can also have an inclination at a corresponding angle.

[0047] In one embodiment, the input end of the slideway 100 is docked with the output end of the cutting and packaging machine 400, so that the independent products cut by the cutting and packaging machine 400 fall into the slideway 100.

[0048] In an application scenario, the cutting and packaging machine 400 pulls the rolled material into a vertical section and sequentially cuts the material from the bottom of the vertical section. The input end of the slideway 100 is located below the cutting position of the cutting and packaging machine 400. The slideway 100 includes a first section slideway 120, and the first section slideway 120 has a downward vertical trend, so that the cut independent products can fall into and slide down along the slideway 100.

[0049] In one embodiment, the diversion mechanism also diverts to a diversion table 220, and the diversion chute 210 is arranged on the diversion table 220; the diversion table 220 is inclined upward along the direction towards the first conveyor belt 310.

[0050] The diversion chute 210 is arranged on the diversion tabletop 220, which can make the independent products that do not fall into the diversion chute 210 land on the diversion tabletop 220, avoiding the dropped independent products from affecting the operation of the equipment.

[0051] The diversion tabletop 220 slopes upward in the direction towards the first conveyor belt 310, which can prevent the independent products from sliding towards the first conveyor belt 310 due to the action of gravity, reducing uncontrollable factors.

[0052] In one embodiment, the diversion mechanism further includes two second conveyor belts 230 and at least one push rod 240. The two second conveyor belts 230 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the diversion tabletop 220 and are adapted to the height of the diversion tabletop 220; the two second conveyor belts 230 are both conveyed in the direction towards the first conveyor belt 310; at least one push rod 240 straddles between the two second conveyor belts 230, and both ends of the push rod 240 are fixedly connected to the two second conveyor belts 230.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the two second conveyor belts 230 drive the push rod 240 to move, and the push rod 240 drives the independent products in the diversion chute 210 to move towards the first conveyor belt 310, realizing the diversion of the independent products in the diversion chute 210.

[0054] The number of the push rods 240 can be 5 to 12, and multiple push rods 240 can be arranged at equal intervals.

[0055] It can be understood that the height of the independent product is higher than the height of the diversion chute 210, so that multiple push rods 240 can drive the independent products in the diversion chute 210 to move.

[0056] In one embodiment, the number of the diversion chutes 210 is multiple, and the output ends of the multiple diversion chutes 210 are mutually attached and point to the first conveyor belt 310.

[0061] In one example, the diversion tabletop 220 is provided with a plurality of diversion grooves 210, and a plurality of independent products output from the plurality of diversion grooves 210 are simultaneously collected into a collection groove. The close distance between the two clamping pieces 252 is adapted to the thickness of the plurality of independent products, so as to clamp the plurality of independent products together and push them into the collection groove.

[0062] The two clamping pieces 252 are arranged at a height higher than that of the push rod 240, so that the push rod 240 can pass under the two clamping pieces 252.

[0063] The clamping portions of the two clamping pieces 252 can be arranged at an angle relative to each other, or can be arranged flush with each other. The inclination angle of the angular arrangement is smaller than the inclination angle after the plurality of diversion grooves 210 are fitted together.

[0064] The output ends of the plurality of diversion grooves 210 are fitted together. The diversion grooves 210 can be strip-shaped, and the plurality of diversion grooves 210 are arranged in a "V" shape to be fitted at the output end; or the diversion grooves 210 can be curved, and are bent in the middle section of the diversion grooves 210, so as to be flush and fitted at the end section close to the output end.

[0065] In one embodiment, the diversion mechanism further includes a pressing piece 253. The pressing piece 253 is arranged at one end where the two clamping pieces 252 are close to each other; and is arranged above the two clamping pieces 252. The pressing piece 253 is fixed to the truss 251 through a connecting rod 254, and the pressing piece 253 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 254.

[0066] By arranging the pressing piece 253, the independent products can be pressed downwards to avoid the height difference of the plurality of independent products affecting the collection.

[0067] In one embodiment, the diversion mechanism further includes a positioning fixture 260. The positioning fixture 260 is arranged between the output end of the diversion groove 210 and the first conveyor belt 310. The positioning fixture 260 includes two relatively arranged positioning blocks, and the distance between the two positioning blocks is adapted to the thickness of the independent product; the openings of the two positioning blocks facing the diversion groove 210 are flared in the direction facing the diversion groove 210, and the openings of the two positioning blocks facing the first conveyor belt 310 are smaller than the width of the collection groove. By arranging the positioning fixture 260, the efficiency of collecting a plurality of independent products into the collection groove can be further improved. The positioning fixture 260 can be fixed on the diversion tabletop 220.

[0068] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism further includes a material pushing mechanism, which includes a pushing piece (not shown in the figure) and a driving motor 332 for driving the pushing piece to move; one end of the pushing piece is fixed to the output end of the driving motor 332, and the other end is provided with a bent portion bent downward; the driving motor 332 drives the pushing piece to move along a direction perpendicular to the first conveyor belt 310, and the driving motor 332 is arranged on the side of the first conveyor belt 310 away from the diversion mechanism.
