Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention for which protection is sought, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] Example
[0043] Combine Figures 1 to 8This embodiment provides a device for loading and depalletizing paper tubes, comprising a transmission line 1 and a tube cutter 2, an inkjet printer 3, a conveyor 4, a stripper 5, and a palletizer 6 arranged on the transmission line 1. The transmission line 1 is provided with a logistics vehicle 11 for transfer. The tube cutter 2 is provided with a tube cutting station 21 and a polishing station 22. The inkjet printer 3 is provided with a coding station at the front end for performing coding operations on the paper tubes A transferred from the polishing station 22, and a buffer station at the rear end for temporarily storing the paper tubes A from the coding station. The conveyor 4 includes a linear slide 41 and a clamping manipulator 42 arranged on the linear slide 41. The clamping manipulator 42 is used to grab the paper tubes A on the buffer station and further transfer them to the stripper 5. The drafting machine 5 is equipped with an inflatable shaft 51 compressed by a hydraulic cylinder and an air circuit mechanism for inflating and deflating the inflatable shaft 51. After inflation, the inflatable shaft 51 expands outward to confine the multiple paper tubes A sleeved on the inflatable shaft 51 to their respective positions. The clamping manipulator 42 is equipped with a glue spraying head 424, which is used to spray glue on each paper tube A on the inflatable shaft 51. The palletizer 6 and the clamping manipulator 42 are positioned opposite each other on the linear slide 41. The transporter 4, the palletizer 6, and the logistics vehicle 11 cooperate with each other to cut the inflatable shaft 51 after the spacing between the paper tubes A is adjusted. The finished paper tubes, wrapped with non-woven fabric, are removed from the inflatable shaft 51, cut and stacked, and then placed on the weighing tray 61 after screening.
[0044] Among them, based on the loading and depalletizing device, the following steps are included:
[0045] S1: Paper tube A is fed into tube cutting machine 2 for automatic tube cutting and polishing. The processed paper tube A is then transferred to inkjet printer 3.
[0046] S2: Printing operation is performed on each paper tube A at the inkjet printer 3, and the printed data is temporarily stored in the buffer station at the back stage;
[0047] S3: The paper tubes A are further grasped and transferred to the air-expansion shaft 51 of the stripper 5 by the gripper manipulator 42. After adjusting the relative spacing between the paper tubes A, the air-expansion shaft 51 covered with the paper tubes A is inflated.
[0048] S4: Align the glue spraying head 424 on the clamping manipulator 42 with the paper tube A to perform glue spraying. The inflatable shaft 51 covered with the paper tube is then transported to the non-woven fabric winding station by the logistics vehicle 11.
[0049] S5: The finished paper tubes after winding are transported back to the stripper 5 and placed on the stripper 5. The finished paper tubes are then screened and stacked by the palletizer 6 onto the weighing tray 61.
[0050] The above-mentioned device for loading and unstacking paper tubes can realize the automated unstacking and loading and unloading operations of finished paper tubes. In particular, from the automatic tube cutting, grinding and coding operations, to the unloading of paper tubes, the transportation and loading of finished paper tubes, and finally the unloading and stacking, the production and manufacturing of finished paper tubes on the transmission line 1 and the implementation of the process are significantly improved, achieving fully automatic operation, reducing labor input and improving efficiency. Among them, the linear slide rail 41 of the conveyor 4 is respectively equipped with a clamping manipulator 42 and a palletizer 6, which more compactly arranges the conveyor 4 and the palletizer 6 in the transfer area of the logistics vehicle 11, and the clamping manipulator 42 is used for grabbing and loading paper tubes, and the palletizer 6 is suitable for unstacking and stacking finished paper tubes, which can improve the operating performance of the entire automation device.
[0051] It should be mentioned that the tube cutting machine is a direct use of existing technology in this case, which can realize automatic tube cutting and grinding, and is not limited here. In addition, the paper tube after glue coating is specifically made by releasing the hydraulic cylinder from the air shaft 51, and then removing the entire air shaft 51 and transporting it to an external winding machine (not shown) for strip winding of non-woven fabric. It will not be described in detail here. The finished paper tube after winding is sent back to the drafting machine 5 together with the air shaft 51, and is further pressed and limited by the hydraulic cylinder, so as to facilitate the further unloading and stacking of the paper tube products from the air shaft 51 of the drafting machine through the stacker 6.
[0052] After step S5, the process also includes transferring the palletized paper tubes to a laminating machine 7 for product packaging and laminating. After laminating, the materials are labeled. After labeling and laminating, a forklift AGV 12 transports the finished materials to a designated location for storage. Before palletizing begins, a palletizer 8 removes the pallets, which are then transferred to a weighing station by a forklift AGV 12 for the next cycle.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the inkjet printer 3 includes an L-shaped transfer platform 31, the inkjet station includes a jetting station 311 located on the short-side conveying path of the transfer platform 31, and the buffer station includes a storage rack 312 for receiving paper tubes pushed from the short-side conveying path to the long-side conveying path, and the storage rack 312 is provided with multiple photoelectric sensors 313. Among them, the photoelectric sensors 313 are preferably photoelectric beam sensors. At least four groups of photoelectric beam sensors are provided along the long-side conveying path to determine whether the first and last paper tube materials are in place. When the last photoelectric beam sensor senses that the paper tube is in place, it stops pushing the paper tube to the storage rack 312. At this time, the buffer station is full of paper tubes, and preferably at least ten paper tubes are placed.
[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping manipulator 42 includes a base disposed on a linear slide 41 and a clamping body 421 disposed on the base. The clamping body 421 is provided with a plurality of spaced lower gripping plates 422 and an upper gripping plate 423 opposite the lower gripping plates 422. The lower gripping plates 422 and a central upper gripping plate 423 are fixed to the clamping body 421. The upper gripping plates 423 on both sides are movable and configured on the clamping body 421 for clamping and limiting the end portions of the paper tube. There are three sets of upper and lower plates, with the lower plates and the central upper plate being fixed. The two upper plates on the left and right sides are linked to the clamping body 421 via synchronous belts. Driven by a servo motor, the synchronous belts drive the two outer clamping bodies 421 to move left and right to adjust their positions, and then move the upper plates up and down, correspondingly cooperating with the other plates to simultaneously grasp and place paper tubes.
[0055] Furthermore, the linear slide 41 is arranged to extend in the same direction as the transmission line 1, and the glue spraying head 424 is provided on the inner side of the clamping body 421, and the glue spraying head 424 is arranged on the same side as each grab plate. Obviously, the glue spraying head 424 is set separately relative to each grab plate. First, through the cooperation between the plates, the paper tubes are pressed and removed along the storage rack 312, and are successively sleeved on the air expansion shaft 51 of the demolding machine 5. The spacing between each paper tube is automatically adjusted by the clamping manipulator 42, and the spacing is set to 2mm to 5mm, which is convenient for the subsequent non-woven fabric winding and preparation for the unpacking and stacking of the finished product. The glue spraying head 424 further performs a glue spraying operation of at least 120° on each paper tube fixed on the air expansion shaft 51, which is used to provide it for the non-woven fabric winding implementation.
[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the pneumatic shaft 51 is configured to accommodate at least ten paper tubes. When the air path mechanism is connected to the shaft body of the pneumatic shaft 51 and air is supplied, the outer diameter of the shaft body expands outward to flexibly abut the inner ring of the paper tube. When the air path mechanism is separated from the pneumatic shaft 51 and air is released, the outer diameter of the shaft body contracts inward to a size smaller than the inner ring of the paper tube. Clearly, the pneumatic shaft structure is a specialized flexible tensioning shaft, such as a winding, expansion shaft, inflation shaft, inflation roller, inflating shaft, or pressure shaft. It expands outward when inflated and contracts inward when deflated, making it suitable for connecting hollow products such as paper tubes and for securing them in place after expansion.
[0057] Specifically, the air circuit mechanism includes a cylinder 52, an air nozzle 53, and an air supply source (not shown). The air supply source is connected to the air nozzle 53, and the cylinder 52 and the air nozzle 53 are transmission-connected to control the engagement of the air nozzle 53 with the air shaft 51. Thus, the air nozzle 53 is docked to the air shaft 51 by the cylinder 52 for air supply operation. When deflation is required, the air nozzle 53 is reset by the cylinder 52 to achieve the deflation operation. It should be noted that the air nozzle is pressed against the air shaft to inflate. If it is not inflated, it will deflate. This is a valve structure, similar to the air nozzle of a car wheel. Pressing to inflate the air will inflate the entire air shaft. The air shaft has an inner liner and a tightening block. When the air shaft is inflated, the inner liner expands and squeezes the tightening block outward, thereby fixing the paper tube to the air shaft. When deflated, the inner liner of the air shaft shrinks, causing the tightening block to retract inward.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the stripper 5 is positioned in front of the linear slide 41 and adjacent to the transporter 4. Multiple weighing trays 61 are located in front of the linear slide 41 on the side of the palletizer 6, and multiple material trays 62 are located behind the linear slide 41. These trays hold seals, cardboard, and paper rings. The gripper 42 is responsible for gripping and transporting paper tubes between the inkjet printer 3 and the stripper 5, while the palletizer 6 performs further processing on the finished paper tubes from the stripper 5 and the materials on the material trays 62.
[0059] In this embodiment, the logistics vehicle 11 is positioned near the weighing tray 61 and the die stripper 5. It is used to transport the glue-sprayed paper tubes to the winding station. Furthermore, the logistics vehicle 11 is used to return the finished paper tubes wrapped with non-woven fabric to the pneumatic shaft 51. The logistics vehicle is preferably a lifting AGV, allowing for flexible operation within the logistics park.
[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the palletizer 6 includes a suction cup 63 for placing and picking up materials, a clamp 64 for sleeve-mounting finished paper tubes, a visual light source 65 for identifying objects to be grasped, and a fork mechanism for pushing the finished paper tubes outward from the pneumatic shaft 51 when the pneumatic shaft 51 is deflated and the finished paper tubes are released. The clamp 64 is used to palletize the unloaded paper tubes onto the weighing tray 61.
[0061] Specifically, before starting to palletize the finished paper tubes, the logistics vehicle 11 transfers the weighing tray 61 to the palletizing station. The palletizer 6 then uses a suction cup 63 to suck up the square cardboard and place it on the bottom layer of the weighing tray 61, thereby protecting the finished material from moisture and dust. The fork mechanism 66 then pushes the finished paper tubes on the pneumatic shaft 51 to unload them. At this time, the clamping member 64 immediately clamps the unloaded paper tubes and finally stacks them on the weighing tray 61. The clamping member 64 can be a pneumatic shaft structure with a length suitable for at least one finished paper tube. And when the palletizer 6 is working, the visual light source mechanism 65 performs visual sensing and feedback throughout the process to achieve precise clamping operations. The fork mechanism 66 is separately arranged on its mounting frame 661. The fork mechanism 66 is provided with a telescopic plate 662 which can be horizontally moved and formed on the mounting frame 661. A contoured groove is formed on the telescopic plate 662 which is conducive to being inserted into the gap between the finished paper tube products to be unloaded. When the contoured groove extends into the gap and onto the air shaft 51, the plate is moved laterally, thereby pushing the finished paper tube products out of the air shaft 51.
[0062] Among them, the unqualified paper tube products are automatically transported to the unqualified buffer station by the stacking robot before being depalletized, and finally manually pulled away for re-melting.
[0063] During the palletizing process, circular paper rings on the material tray 62 are used to separate the third, sixth, and ninth layers. Before palletizing the fourth, seventh, and tenth layers, the palletizer 6 uses suction cups 63 to grab the circular paper rings from the material tray 62 and stack them on top of the finished product to separate the layers. After palletizing the top layer, the palletizer 6 moves to another material tray 62 to pick up a circular cardboard ring and place it on the top layer of the finished product to protect it from dust. Furthermore, the palletizer 6 moves to the material tray 62 with the seal, suctioning it with suction cups 63. After flipping it 180°, the glue sprayer 424 applies glue to the flipped seal. The palletizer 6 then applies the seal to the side of the finished product to prevent scratching the non-woven fabric during unpacking. This completes the palletizing operation on a weighing tray 61. The weighing tray 61 displays the total weight of the palletized finished product and records it for storage on the terminal.
[0064] In addition, it should be mentioned that the loading and depalletizing device also includes a film winding machine 7 (which can be used as a winding machine for the above-mentioned non-woven fabrics), and the film winding machine 7 is used to further laminate and label the finished paper tubes delivered by the forklift AGV12 from the palletizer 6, and the forklift AGV12 directly transports the laminated and labeled paper tubes to storage. Thus, the palletized finished materials are transported by the forklift AGV to the film winding machine 7 for lamination, and further automatic labeling, and the weight information label is pasted on the finished material by the labeling head until the lamination and labeling are completed and the finished material is transported to the warehouse for storage. More preferably, the entire transmission line 1 can meet the mixed production of paper tubes of different specifications, and the transmission line 1 is provided with corresponding cache stations of different specifications to meet the requirements of mixed production.
[0065] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
