Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material packaging, and more specifically to a material dispensing mechanism and its dispensing method. Background Technology

[0002] manual

[0003] In the modern industrial production of bagged packaging materials, palletizers and other feeding and loading machines are widely used to stack bagged products and other packaged goods in order to improve work efficiency and quality and reduce the labor intensity of workers. However, loading machines generally suffer from problems such as low efficiency, poor stability, and poor loading results.

[0004] Therefore, improving loading efficiency and stability, and ensuring good packaging shape are technical problems that urgently need to be solved in this field.

[0005] To improve loading efficiency, two or more palletizers are often used in parallel palletizing operations. This involves the use of a material distribution mechanism to separate bags from one conveyor belt into multiple palletizing hoppers. Traditional material distribution mechanisms use scrapers, which are prone to bag jamming during the scraping process, especially with poor-quality or broken bags. Furthermore, if the bags shift during transport, it can lead to difficulties entering the distribution mechanism and cause further jamming. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a material distribution mechanism and method that enables multi-station material distribution, improves transportation rhythm and efficiency, effectively avoids package jamming during transportation, enhances stability during transportation, and reduces transportation failure rate.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0008] A material dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing unit and a feeding unit connected to each other. The dispensing unit has an inlet, and a front baffle is located on the side opposite the inlet. The dispensing unit includes a feeding port switching device, a dispensing baffle, a first dispensing transport device, and a second dispensing transport device. The feeding port switching device is reciprocating perpendicular to the conveying direction. The dispensing baffle is located in the middle of the feeding port switching device along the conveying direction. The first and second dispensing transport devices are respectively located on both sides of the dispensing baffle. The feeding unit includes a first feeding unit arranged side-by-side. The facility includes a material inlet and a second material dispensing inlet. The first material dispensing inlet is equipped with a first material dispensing and conveying device, and the second material dispensing inlet is equipped with a second material dispensing and conveying device. The first material dispensing and conveying device can be connected to the first material dispensing and conveying device under the action of the material dispensing and conveying device. When the first material dispensing and conveying device is connected to the first material dispensing and conveying device, the material inlet is connected to the second material dispensing and conveying device. The second material dispensing and conveying device can be connected to the second material dispensing and conveying device under the action of the material dispensing and conveying device. When the second material dispensing and conveying device is connected to the second material dispensing and conveying device, the material inlet is connected to the first material dispensing and conveying device.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is divided by the reciprocating motion of the material dividing baffle. The straight line of the material dividing baffle can be separated from the straight line of the side wall of the inlet, leaving room for the goods to enter and ensuring that the material bag can enter smoothly. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of bag jamming during transportation, improves the stability of transportation, and reduces the transportation failure rate.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a first stop plate and a second stop plate. The first stop plate is disposed on the outside of the first feeding and conveying device along the conveying direction and extends towards the material distribution unit. When the first material distribution and conveying device is connected to the first feeding and conveying device, a first material posture correction area is formed between the first stop plate and the material distribution stop plate. The second stop plate is disposed on the outside of the second feeding and conveying device along the conveying direction and extends towards the material distribution unit. When the second feeding and conveying device is connected to the second feeding and conveying device, a second material posture correction area is formed between the second stop plate and the material distribution stop plate. The transported goods can be confined within the first material posture correction area or the second material posture correction area.

[0011] Because of the above technical solution, the feeding port switching device can drive the material distribution baffle to move. The first baffle is located above the first material distribution and conveying device. When moving, the first material distribution and conveying device can pass under the first baffle, reducing the distance between the material distribution baffle and the first baffle. This forms a first material posture correction area that can correct the posture of the goods. The posture of the goods can be adjusted during the material distribution operation to ensure smooth transportation and avoid jamming. The setting method of the second baffle and the technical effect it achieves are the same as the first baffle.

[0012] Furthermore, the first material pose correction area and the second material pose correction area; the width of the transported goods may be limited to 0.95-1 times the width of the goods in either the first material pose correction area or the second material pose correction area.

[0013] Because of the above technical solution, this application mainly targets the cement bag containing the cargo, that is, the cargo bag is a soft bag. Therefore, the width of the first material position correction area is set to be slightly smaller than the width of the cargo. When correcting the position of the cargo bag, the cargo bag can be slightly squeezed to ensure that the soft bag can be adjusted into place.

[0014] Furthermore, the material distribution unit also includes a material distribution monitoring module, which includes a material head monitoring device and a material tail monitoring device, which are respectively located at both ends of the material distribution unit along the conveying direction; the material head monitoring device includes a first material head position sensing device corresponding to the first material distribution and conveying device, and a second material head position sensing device corresponding to the second material distribution and conveying device; the material tail monitoring device is located at the material inlet of the material distribution unit.

[0015] Furthermore, a support rod is provided vertically at the material distribution baffle, and a monitoring device mounting rod is connected to the support rod. The monitoring device mounting rod is set perpendicular to the conveying direction. One end of the monitoring device mounting rod extends toward the first material distribution and conveying device and a first material head position sensor is installed thereon, and the other end extends toward the second material distribution and conveying device and a second material head position sensor is installed thereon.

[0016] Furthermore, the height of the first material head position sensing device from the first material distribution and conveying device is greater than the height of the goods, and the distance extended by the monitoring device mounting rod towards the first material distribution and conveying device is equal to 1 / 2 of the width of the first material position correction area; the height of the second material head position sensing device from the second material distribution and conveying device is greater than the height of the goods, and the distance extended by the monitoring device mounting rod towards the second material distribution and conveying device is equal to 1 / 2 of the width of the second material position correction area.

[0017] Furthermore, the first material head position sensing device, the second material head position sensing device, and the material tail monitoring device are respectively signal-connected to the control device, and the material dispensing port switching device, the first material dispensing and conveying device, and the second material dispensing and conveying device are respectively signal-connected to and controlled by the control device; the first material head position sensing device transmits a signal to the control device indicating whether the head of the goods at the first material dispensing position is in place, the second material head position sensing device transmits a signal to the control device indicating whether the head of the goods at the second material dispensing position is in place, and the material tail monitoring device transmits a signal to the control device indicating whether the tail of the goods has entered the material dispensing unit.

[0018] Thanks to the above technical solution, the material distribution monitoring module can effectively monitor the status of cargo transportation, ensuring that the cargo is transported to its proper place during both inbound and outbound processes, and avoiding cargo jams.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding unit, which includes a material feeding sensor for detecting the movement of goods within the feeding unit, a package feeding and conveying device, and a buffer feeding and conveying device. The package feeding and conveying device and the buffer feeding and conveying device are connected end to end along the direction of material transport. The package feeding and conveying device is matched with the inlet of the material distribution unit. The material feeding sensor is signal-connected to the control device. The package feeding and conveying device and the buffer feeding and conveying device are signal-connected to and controlled by the control device.

[0020] Because of the above technical solution, when goods are detected in the outgoing and feeding conveyor, the buffer feeding conveyor stops working, allowing subsequent goods to be temporarily stored in the buffer feeding conveyor, and the outgoing and feeding conveyor starts working to transport the goods from the outgoing and feeding conveyor to the sorting unit; if no goods are detected in the outgoing and feeding conveyor, the buffer feeding conveyor starts working to transport the goods from the buffer feeding conveyor to the outgoing and feeding conveyor, thus avoiding the phenomenon of goods being bundled together during transportation.

[0021] A material distribution method for a material distribution mechanism further includes the following steps:

[0022] Feeding steps: Goods are fed into the feeding unit. The outgoing feeding conveyor transports the goods to the inlet of the sorting unit. The material feeding sensor is activated. When goods are detected in the outgoing feeding conveyor, the buffer feeding conveyor stops. When no goods are detected in the outgoing feeding conveyor, the buffer feeding conveyor is activated.

[0023] Material sorting process: Goods are fed into the sorting unit through the inlet and restrained by the front baffle under the action of the first / second sorting conveyor. When the first / second sorting conveyor stops, the dispensing port switching device starts, moving the goods towards the first / second dispensing conveyor via the sorting baffle until they connect. At this point, the first / second sorting conveyor starts transporting goods to the first / second dispensing conveyor. The next item is fed into the sorting unit from the inlet. Under the action of the second sorting and conveying device / first sorting and conveying device, it is restrained by the front baffle. The second sorting and conveying device / first sorting and conveying device stops, and the dispensing port switching device starts. The item is moved towards the second dispensing and conveying device / first dispensing device through the sorting baffle until the second sorting and conveying device / first dispensing device is connected. The second sorting and conveying device / first sorting and conveying device starts to transport the item to the second dispensing and conveying device / first dispensing device. This step is repeated.

[0024] Material feeding process: The first and second material feeding conveyors are always running, so that the goods entering them are transported along the conveying direction.

[0025] Furthermore, in the material distribution step, when the first / second material distribution transport device is connected to the first / second material dispensing transport device, a first material posture correction area / second material posture correction area is formed between the material distribution baffle and the first / second stop plate. The material distribution baffle and the first / second stop plate cooperate to correct the posture of the goods, making the goods aligned. When the second / first material distribution transport device is connected to the second / first material dispensing transport device, a second material posture correction area / first material posture correction area is formed between the material distribution baffle and the second / first stop plate. The material distribution baffle and the second / first stop plate cooperate to correct the posture of the goods, making the goods aligned.

[0026] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] 1. This invention can realize multi-station cargo distribution, improving transportation rhythm and efficiency.

[0028] 2. This invention allows for sufficient clearance for the entry of goods, ensuring that the material packages can enter smoothly, effectively avoiding package jamming during transportation, improving the stability of transportation, and reducing the transportation failure rate.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] A material dispensing mechanism, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the system includes a material distribution unit 1 and a material dispensing unit 2 connected to each other. The material distribution unit 1 has an inlet 5, and a front baffle 6 is located on the opposite side of the inlet 5. The material distribution unit 1 includes a dispensing port switching device 101, a material distribution baffle 102, a first material distribution and conveying device 103, and a second material distribution and conveying device 104. The dispensing port switching device 101 can reciprocate perpendicular to the conveying direction. The material distribution baffle 102 is located in the middle of the dispensing port switching device 101 along the conveying direction. The first material distribution and conveying device 103 and the second material distribution and conveying device 104 are respectively located on both sides of the material distribution baffle 102. The material dispensing unit 2 includes a first dispensing port and a second dispensing port arranged side-by-side. The first feeding port is equipped with a first feeding and conveying device 201, and the second feeding port is equipped with a second feeding and conveying device 202. The first distributing and conveying device 103 can be connected to the first feeding and conveying device 201 under the drive of the feeding port switching device 101. When the first distributing and conveying device 103 is connected to the first feeding and conveying device 201, the inlet 5 is connected to the second distributing and conveying device 104. The second distributing and conveying device 104 can be connected to the second feeding and conveying device 202 under the drive of the feeding port switching device 101. When the second distributing and conveying device 104 is connected to the second feeding and conveying device 202, the inlet 5 is connected to the first distributing and conveying device 103. Specifically, the material distribution baffle 102 is used to distribute the material by reciprocating motion. The straight line of the material distribution baffle 102 can be separated from the straight line of the side wall of the inlet 5, leaving room for the goods to enter and ensuring that the material bag can enter smoothly. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of bag jamming during transportation, improves the stability of transportation, and reduces the transportation failure rate.

[0044] It also includes a first stop plate 7 and a second stop plate 8. The first stop plate 7 is located outside the first material feeding and conveying device 201 along the conveying direction and extends towards the material distribution unit 1. When the first material distribution and conveying device 103 is connected to the first material feeding and conveying device 201, a first material posture correction area 9 is formed between the first stop plate 7 and the material distribution baffle 102. The second stop plate 8 is located outside the second material feeding and conveying device 202 along the conveying direction and extends towards the material distribution unit 1. When the second material distribution and conveying device 104 is connected to the second material feeding and conveying device 202, a second material posture correction area 10 is formed between the second stop plate 8 and the material distribution baffle 102. The transported goods can be confined to the first material posture correction area 9 or the second material posture correction area 10. Specifically, the feeding port switching device 101 can drive the material distribution baffle 102 to move. The first baffle plate 7 is located above the first material distribution and conveying device 103. When moving, the first material distribution and conveying device 103 can pass under the first baffle plate 7, reducing the distance between the material distribution baffle 102 and the first baffle plate 7. This forms a first material posture correction area 9 that can correct the posture of the goods. The posture of the goods can be adjusted during the material distribution operation to ensure smooth transportation and avoid jamming. The setting method of the second baffle plate 8 and the technical effect it can achieve are the same as the first baffle plate 7.

[0045] The first material pose correction area 9 and the second material pose correction area 10; the width of the transported goods can be limited to either the first material pose correction area 9 or the second material pose correction area 10, both of which are 0.975 times the width of the goods. Specifically, this application mainly targets goods containing cement bags, i.e., the bags are flexible bags. Therefore, the width of the first material pose correction area 9 is set to be slightly smaller than the width of the goods, so that the bags can be slightly squeezed when correcting their pose, ensuring that the flexible bags can be adjusted into place.

[0046] The material distribution unit 1 also includes a material distribution monitoring module 3, which includes a material head monitoring device and a material tail monitoring device 303. The material head monitoring device and the material tail monitoring device 303 are respectively located at both ends of the material distribution unit 1 along the conveying direction. The material head monitoring device includes a first material head position sensing device 301 corresponding to the first material distribution and conveying device 103 and a second material head position sensing device 302 corresponding to the second material distribution and conveying device 104. The material tail monitoring device 303 is located at the inlet 5 of the material distribution unit 1.

[0047] A support rod 11 is vertically mounted at the material distribution baffle 102. A monitoring device mounting rod 12 is connected to the support rod 11. The monitoring device mounting rod 12 is perpendicular to the conveying direction. One end of the monitoring device mounting rod 12 extends towards the first material distribution and conveying device 103 and is fitted with a first material head position sensor 301. The other end extends towards the second material distribution and conveying device 104 and is fitted with a second material head position sensor 302. The height of the first material head position sensor 301 from the first material distribution and conveying device 103 is greater than the height of the goods. The distance the monitoring device mounting rod 12 extends towards the first material distribution and conveying device 103 is equal to half the width of the first material pose correction area 9. The height of the second material head position sensor 302 from the second material distribution and conveying device 104 is greater than the height of the goods. The distance the monitoring device mounting rod 12 extends towards the second material distribution and conveying device 104 is equal to half the width of the second material pose correction area 10.

[0048] The first material head position sensor 301, the second material head position sensor 302, and the material tail monitoring device 303 are respectively signal-connected to the control device. The material dispensing port switching device 101, the first material sorting and conveying device 103, and the second material sorting and conveying device 104 are respectively signal-connected to and controlled by the control device. The first material head position sensor 301 transmits a signal to the control device indicating whether the head of the goods at the first material sorting position is in place. The second material head position sensor 302 transmits a signal to the control device indicating whether the head of the goods at the second material sorting position is in place. The material tail monitoring device 303 transmits a signal to the control device indicating whether the tail of the goods has entered the material sorting unit 1. Specifically, the material sorting monitoring module 3 can effectively monitor the status of the goods transportation, ensuring that the goods are transported to the correct position during feeding and discharging, and avoiding jamming.

[0049] It also includes a feeding unit 4, which includes a material feeding sensor 403 for detecting the movement of goods within the feeding unit 4, a package feeding and conveying device 401, and a buffer feeding and conveying device 402. The package feeding and conveying device 401 and the buffer feeding and conveying device 402 are connected end to end along the direction of material transport. The package feeding and conveying device 401 is matched with the inlet 5 of the material distribution unit 1. The material feeding sensor 403 is signal-connected to the control device. The package feeding and conveying device 401 and the buffer feeding and conveying device 402 are signal-connected and controlled by the control device. Specifically, when goods are detected in the outgoing and feeding conveyor 401, the buffer feeding conveyor 402 stops working, allowing subsequent goods to be temporarily stored in the buffer feeding conveyor 402, and the outgoing and feeding conveyor 401 starts working, transporting the goods from the outgoing and feeding conveyor 401 to the sorting unit 1; if no goods are detected in the outgoing and feeding conveyor 401, the buffer feeding conveyor 402 starts working, transporting the goods from the buffer feeding conveyor 402 to the outgoing and feeding conveyor 401, thus preventing goods from being bundled together during transportation.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] A material distribution method of a material distribution mechanism, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0052] Feeding steps: Goods are fed into feeding unit 4, and the outgoing feeding conveyor 401 conveys the goods to the inlet 5 of the distributing unit 1. The material feeding sensor 403 is activated. When goods are detected in the outgoing feeding conveyor 401, the buffer feeding conveyor 402 stops. When no goods are detected in the outgoing feeding conveyor 401, the buffer feeding conveyor 402 is activated.

[0053] Material sorting steps: Goods are fed into the sorting unit 1 through the inlet 5 and restrained by the front baffle 6 under the action of the first sorting transport device 103. The first sorting transport device 103 stops, and the discharge port switching device 101 starts, moving the goods towards the first discharge transport device 201 through the sorting baffle 102 until the first sorting transport device 103 and the first discharge transport device 201 are connected. The first sorting transport device 103 starts to transport goods to the first discharge transport device 201. At the same time, the next piece of goods is fed into the sorting unit 1 through the inlet 5 and restrained by the front baffle 6 under the action of the second sorting transport device 104. The second sorting transport device 104 stops, and the discharge port switching device 101 starts, moving the goods towards the second discharge transport device 202 through the sorting baffle 102 until the second sorting transport device 104 and the second discharge transport device 202 are connected. The second sorting transport device 104 starts to transport goods to the second discharge transport device 202. This step is repeated.

[0054] Material feeding process: The first material feeding and conveying device 201 and the second material feeding and conveying device 202 are always in the starting state, so that the goods entering them are transported along the conveying direction.

[0055] In the material distribution step, when the first material distribution conveyor 103 is connected to the first material dispensing conveyor 201, a first material posture correction area 9 is formed between the material distribution baffle 102 and the first stop plate 7. The material distribution baffle 102 and the first stop plate 7 cooperate to correct the posture of the goods and align them. When the second material distribution conveyor 104 is connected to the second material dispensing conveyor 202, a second material posture correction area 10 is formed between the material distribution baffle 102 and the second stop plate 8. The material distribution baffle 102 and the second stop plate 8 cooperate to correct the posture of the goods and align them.

7. A material distribution method for a material distribution mechanism, applied to the material distribution mechanism according to any one of claims 1-6, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Feeding steps: Goods are fed into the feeding unit. The outgoing feeding conveyor transports the goods to the inlet of the sorting unit. The material feeding sensor is activated. When goods are detected in the outgoing feeding conveyor, the buffer feeding conveyor stops. When no goods are detected in the outgoing feeding conveyor, the buffer feeding conveyor is activated. Material sorting process: Goods are fed into the sorting unit through the inlet and restrained by the front baffle under the action of the first / second sorting conveyor. When the first / second sorting conveyor stops, the dispensing port switching device starts, moving the goods towards the first / second dispensing conveyor via the sorting baffle until they connect. At this point, the first / second sorting conveyor starts transporting goods to the first / second dispensing conveyor. The next item is fed into the sorting unit from the inlet. Under the action of the second sorting and conveying device / first sorting and conveying device, it is restrained by the front baffle. The second sorting and conveying device / first sorting and conveying device stops, and the dispensing port switching device starts. The item is moved towards the second dispensing and conveying device / first dispensing device through the sorting baffle until the second sorting and conveying device / first dispensing device is connected. The second sorting and conveying device / first sorting and conveying device starts to transport the item to the second dispensing and conveying device / first dispensing device. This step is repeated. Material feeding process: The first and second material feeding conveyors are always running, so that the goods entering them are transported along the conveying direction.
