Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to packaging machinery, specifically to a stacking machine capable of driving materials to rotate horizontally. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging machinery refers to machines capable of completing all or part of the packaging process for products and goods. The packaging process includes main steps such as filling, wrapping, and sealing, as well as related pre- and post-packaging processes such as cleaning, stacking, cutting, and unpacking. In existing alcohol swab production and packaging processes, multiple alcohol swabs are typically stacked before packaging. The swabs are usually placed on a standard conveyor belt, where they are moved and counted before finally falling into a container. However, in actual production, due to the high speed of the conveyor belt, the material falling into the container experiences a certain impact force. The material may hit a baffle and bounce before falling again, resulting in a time lag. After the stacked material is counted, it is pushed away by cylinders or other driving components to the next process. Therefore, in the existing stacking method, while sensors count the material during feeding, other stacked materials are pushed away by the driving components before the material falls into place, affecting the accuracy of the current stack count. This inaccurate counting of the stacked material also affects the quantity of the next stack. Furthermore, existing alcohol swabs and similar materials are usually arranged horizontally after processing. However, during packaging, they need to be turned horizontally for subsequent stacking and packaging. But alcohol swabs and similar materials are relatively thin, making horizontal turning difficult and not conducive to subsequent stacking and packaging of multiple pieces. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-8 As shown, a stacking machine capable of driving materials to rotate horizontally includes a frame 1. The frame 1 is equipped with a support plate 2, a first feeding device 3, and a first steering mechanism 4. The first steering mechanism 4 includes a first guide plate 41 and a steering transmission component 42. The steering transmission component 42 drives the material to move horizontally and cooperates with the first guide plate 41 to rotate the material horizontally. The first feeding device 3 includes a feeding conveyor belt 31, which transports the rotated material to a stacking bin 5. The beneficial effects of this invention are that the first steering mechanism, through the cooperation of the first guide plate and the steering transmission component, allows the material to rotate horizontally during movement, thus facilitating material packaging. This invention also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable operation, and long service life.

[0027] The first guide plate 41 is provided with a limiting part 411 for limiting the material's horizontal movement and facilitating its rotation. The steering transmission component 42 drives the material to move horizontally and, after being limited by the limiting part 411, drives the material to turn horizontally. In this invention, the end of the first guide plate is used as the limiting part. Of course, in actual production, a protrusion can also be provided on the first guide plate as a limiting part, that is, a limiting part can be provided on the inner wall of the first guide plate on the feeding space side. In this invention, the limiting part is arc-shaped. This facilitates the horizontal turning of the material and avoids interference. The opening at the feeding port of the feeding space is larger than the switch at the discharge port of the feeding space, and the feeding space is connected to the feeding channel.

[0028] The support plate 2 is provided with multiple first guide plates 41. Adjacent first guide plates 41 cooperate to form a feeding space 43 for material to enter. The steering transmission component 42 is offset from the center of the two first guide plates 41 forming the feeding space 43. The steering mechanism is set to turn the material entering the first feeding device, reducing the width of the product (adjusted in direction), facilitating collection, and facilitating subsequent product processing and production.

[0029] The steering transmission component 42 is equipped with a steering pusher 421 for propelling the material to rotate horizontally. The steering pusher 421 pushes one side of the material, causing the material to rotate horizontally around the first guide plate 41 on the other side. The feeding conveyor belt 31 is equipped with a feeding pusher 311, which is located behind the steering pusher 421 and drives the material to move linearly after the steering pusher 421 pushes the material to rotate. The support plate 2 is equipped with a clearance groove 21 for the steering pusher 421 and / or the feeding pusher 311. The feeding space is relatively wide at the feeding point of the feeding conveyor belt, and it is formed by an inclined surface set at the first guide plate. After feeding, the steering transmission component drives the material to move. The steering transmission component is eccentrically set, so that the material rotates horizontally with the end of the first guide plate as the support point, and then the feeding conveyor belt drives its horizontal movement. The wider feeding space facilitates the horizontal rotation of the material. The clearance groove allows the steering and feeding pushers to reliably drive the material movement, making it particularly suitable for the transfer and steering of thin materials, thus making the material movement convenient and reliable.

[0030] The frame 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 6, which is connected to the first steering mechanism 4 and used to adjust the distance between the first steering mechanism 4 and the support plate 2. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a lifting nut 61, a lifting screw 62, and an adjusting handle 63. The first steering mechanism 4 is mounted on the side plate 11, and the lifting nut 61 is fixed to the side plate 11. The adjusting handle 63 drives the lifting nut 61 to move vertically through the lifting screw 62 to adjust the distance between the first steering mechanism 4 and the support plate 2. This invention adds multiple sets of up-and-down adjustment devices (lifting mechanisms) and also has a visual digital display. When the product thickness is different, the distance between the steering synchronous belt (the steering transmission component of the first steering mechanism) and the support plate can be changed by adjusting the entire synchronous belt steering mechanism up and down through the up-and-down adjustment devices. Of course, in the actual production process, the lifting screw can also be controlled to rotate electrically or hydraulically, making the distance between the first steering mechanism 4 and the support plate 2 adjustable. In the actual production process, the lifting mechanism can also directly drive the support plate to move relative to the first steering mechanism.

[0031] The support plate 2 is provided with a second guide plate 44, which cooperates with the first guide plate 41 to form a feeding channel 45 for material to pass through. The feeding channel 45 is correspondingly arranged with the stacking bin 5. The first guide plate 41, the second guide plate 44 and the support plate 2 are detachably connected. The second guide plate further limits the space within the feeding space, which facilitates the feeding of material into the feeding channel and makes the stacking bin reliably receive material.

[0032] The invention also includes a receiving bin 7. The frame 1 is equipped with a push rod 81 that pushes materials from the stacking bin 5 to the receiving bin 7. The end of the push rod 81 is equipped with a push block 82 to facilitate pushing materials out of the stacking bin 5. The bottom of the push block 82 is equipped with a pushing slope 821. A baffle 83 is provided between the stacking bin 5 and the receiving bin 7. The push block and pushing slope ensure reliable material pushing and prevent materials from remaining in the stacking bin, thus avoiding counting accuracy. Furthermore, in this invention, adjacent feeding and steering pusher groups can form a sequential feeding space, facilitating sequential feeding. The material is conveyed and driven forward on the support plate, and adjacent feeding pusher groups form a pushing zone, ensuring accurate material placement and achieving sequential feeding, thus avoiding counting errors.

[0033] The present invention describes multiple stacking bins, each corresponding to at least one feeding conveyor belt. This structure allows multiple bins to be stacked simultaneously, making product feeding convenient and reliable. Sensors are typically mounted on the frame and usually detect material at the end of the feeding pusher. The feeding zone formed by each feeding conveyor belt allows material to fall into the stacking bin one by one. More specifically, the feeding zone is relatively large, with the feeding conveyor belt traveling a certain distance before moving the material, ensuring reliable product counting and facilitating subsequent packaging processing.

[0034] The frame 1 is equipped with a second feeding device 91 and a waste collection box 92. The second feeding device 91 includes a feeding conveyor belt 911, which has a first position for feeding material to the first feeding device 3 and a second position for rotating relative to the frame 1 to convey material into the waste collection box 92. Specifically, the feeding conveyor belt is hinged and driven to rotate by a cylinder (or hydraulic cylinder or motor). When waste material enters, the rotation of the feeding conveyor belt can discharge the waste material, preventing it from entering the stacking bin. Specifically, a third feeding device 93 is provided between the second feeding device 91 and the first feeding device 3. The waste collection box 92 is located below the third feeding device 93 and / or the second feeding device 91 and is detachably connected to the frame 1. The third feeding device facilitates material receiving and handling and has a simple structure.
