Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of material packaging machinery technology, and in particular to a brick rotary packing machine. Background Technology
[0002] The continuous bundling and packaging of brick stacks on assembly lines is an increasing demand across various industries. Online, continuous, and high-speed packaging is a trend in modern, efficient production. Bundling and packaging mostly uses plastic strapping or PET strapping to pack the stacked bricks both horizontally and vertically.
[0003] Patent application number 2022201619610 discloses an online longitudinal and transverse strapping and packaging device, which has a conveyor line consisting of multiple chain belts that supports and moves material stacks. In the longitudinal packaging position, a bottom arrow track for the longitudinal packaging machine is provided between and beside adjacent supporting chain belts and below the upper plane of the chain belts. In the transverse packaging position, a supporting device is provided between and beside adjacent supporting chain belts and below the upper plane of the chain belts. This supporting device can lift and lower the material to remove it from the chain belt and create a gap with it. The supporting device has a space on the side that allows the transverse bottom arrow track to pass through.
[0004] The device requires two packing machines to pack the material pieces horizontally and vertically respectively. A rotating device is also needed between the vertical and horizontal packing machines to rotate the unpacked stacks by 90 degrees, which extends the length of the production line and reduces packing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brick rotary packing machine, which improves packing efficiency and shortens the packing production line.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a brick rotary baling machine, comprising a frame, a support plate, and a conveyor belt disposed on the frame. A baling support frame is disposed on the frame and located above the conveyor belt. A baling assembly is rotatably connected to the baling support frame. The baling assembly includes a transverse support, a longitudinal support, and a baling bracket. The transverse support is rotatably connected to the support frame. The longitudinal support is slidably connected to the longitudinal support. The baling bracket is slidably connected to the longitudinal support. A baling head is fixedly connected to the baling bracket. The sliding direction of the longitudinal support is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the sliding direction of the baling bracket is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is placed on the conveyor belt, and the brick stack is stacked on the support plate. The brick stack, together with the support plate, moves on the conveyor belt. When the brick stack is conveyed to the bottom of the guide support frame, the packing machine head binds and packs the brick stack below. After each round of packing, the longitudinal support moves a certain distance and is bound and packed again. After the brick stack is packed in one direction, the transverse support is driven to rotate 90 degrees and the packing operation is repeated. Thus, the transverse and longitudinal packing of the brick stack is realized in one workstation.
[0008] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: fixed supports are respectively provided on both sides of the longitudinal support, and guide grooves and arrow tracks are respectively provided on the two fixed supports on opposite sides. The arrow tracks are slidably connected to the fixed supports, and arrow track cylinders are connected to the fixed supports to drive the arrow tracks to move closer or further apart. The support plate includes a plate body and support parts arranged in a row on the end face of the plate body, and a belt-threading gap is provided between two adjacent support parts.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide groove and arrow track guide the strapping through the outer ring of the brick stack. When binding and packing, the arrow track cylinder drives the two arrow tracks to slide into the bottom of the support plate. The ends of the two arrow tracks are connected, and the tops of the two arrow tracks are connected to the guide groove. The packing machine head binds the strapping in the threading gap.
[0010] A further feature of the present invention is that: a guide rail is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket, the arrow path is slidably connected to the guide rail, a photoelectric sensor is respectively provided at both ends of the guide rail, a first sensing plate is provided on the arrow path, and the first sensing plate is slidably blocking the photoelectric sensor.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the photoelectric sensor 1 senses the extreme position of the arrow track. When the two photoelectric sensors 1 inside the guide slide are blocked, it indicates that the ends of the two arrow tracks are in contact and can be threaded. When the two photoelectric sensors 1 outside the guide slide are blocked, it indicates that the two arrow tracks are detached from the support plate and the longitudinal support can be slid to carry out the next round of binding and packaging.
[0012] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: a sensing column is slidably connected to the packaging bracket, a second photoelectric sensor located above the sensing column is fixedly connected to the packaging bracket, the sensing column slides to block the end of the second photoelectric sensor, and a linear motor for driving the packaging bracket to slide is provided on the horizontal support.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during packaging, linear motor one drives the packaging bracket to slide downwards, the top of the brick stack pushes the sensing column upwards, the end of the sensing column blocks the photoelectric sensor two, and linear motor one stops moving.
[0014] A further feature of the present invention is that: two fixed brackets are slidably connected to a pressing plate on opposite sides, and a pressing cylinder is provided on the packaging bracket to drive the pressing plate to slide.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, before packing the brick stack, the pressing cylinder drives the pressing plate to press against both sides of the brick stack to align the brick stack.
[0016] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: a sensing device is provided on the fixed bracket, the sensing device including a connecting rod rotatably connected to the fixed bracket, a photoelectric sensor three fixedly connected to the fixed bracket, and a pulling spring that pulls the connecting rod to rotate away from the conveyor belt; a second sensing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod; the connecting rod rotates under the thrust of the pressing plate and contacts the rotating side wall, and the end of the connecting rod is disposed opposite to the guide groove; the second sensing plate rotates to block the photoelectric sensor three.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when packing the brick stack, the pressing plate moves close to the brick stack to align it while pushing the connecting rod to rotate and fit against the side wall of the brick stack. When the packing head completes one packing cycle, it binds the end of the connecting rod to the inside of the strapping strap. After completing one round of binding and packing, the longitudinal support moves horizontally, and the connecting rod is gradually pulled out of the strapping strap. When the connecting rod is separated from the end of the strapping strap, the connecting rod rotates under the tension of the pull spring. The second sensing plate rotates to block the photoelectric sensor, thereby automatically sensing the unit distance of the brick stack's horizontal movement.
[0018] A further provision of the present invention is that: a drive motor for driving the packaging assembly to rotate is provided on the frame, and a linear motor for driving the longitudinal support to slide is provided on the transverse support.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0020] 1. The packaging component is rotatably connected to the packaging support frame. After the brick stack is packaged in one direction, the horizontal support is driven to rotate 90 degrees and the packaging operation is repeated. This realizes the horizontal and vertical packaging of the brick stack at one workstation, which improves packaging efficiency and shortens the packaging production line.
[0021] 2. By rotating a connecting rod on a fixed bracket, the end of the connecting rod is tied to the inside of the strap when the packing head completes one packing. When the longitudinal bracket moves to separate the connecting rod from the end of the strap, the second sensing plate rotates to block the photoelectric sensor, thereby automatically sensing the unit distance of the brick stack's translation.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example: A brick rotary packing machine, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the assembly includes a frame 1, a support plate 2, and a conveyor belt 3 mounted on the frame 1. A packaging support frame 4 is mounted on the frame 1 above the conveyor belt 3. A packaging assembly 5 is rotatably connected to the packaging support frame 4. The packaging assembly 5 includes a transverse support 51, a longitudinal support 52, and a packaging support 53. The transverse support 51 is rotatably connected to the support frame, the longitudinal support 52 is slidably connected to the longitudinal support 52, and the packaging support 53 is slidably connected to the longitudinal support 52. A packaging head 6 is fixedly connected to the packaging support 53. The sliding direction of the longitudinal support 52 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the sliding direction of the packaging support 53 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A drive motor 9 is mounted on the frame 1 to drive the packaging assembly 5 to rotate, and a linear motor 512 is mounted on the transverse support 51 to drive the longitudinal support 52 to slide. A controller is connected to the frame 1. The packing head 6 binds and packs the brick stack below. After each round of packing, the longitudinal support 52 moves a certain distance and is bound and packed again. When the brick stack is packed in one direction, the transverse support 51 is driven to rotate 90 degrees and the packing operation is repeated.
[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, fixed supports 521 are respectively provided on both sides of the longitudinal support 52. Each fixed support 521 has a guide groove 522 on an opposite side and an arrow path 523 at the bottom. The arrow path 523 is slidably connected to the fixed support 521. A cylinder for driving the arrow paths 523 to move closer or further apart is connected to the fixed support 521. The support plate 2 includes a plate body 21 and support portions 22 arranged in a row on the end face of the plate body 21. A threading gap 23 is provided between adjacent support portions 22. A guide rail 525 is fixedly connected to the fixed support 521. The arrow path 523 is slidably connected to the guide rail 525. Photoelectric sensors 526 are respectively provided at both ends of the guide rail 525. A first sensing plate 527 is provided on the arrow path 523, and the first sensing plate 527 slides to block the photoelectric sensors 526. The guide groove 522 and the arrow track 523 guide the strap 91 through the outer ring of the brick stack. When binding and packing, the cylinder of the arrow track 523 drives the two arrow tracks 523 to slide into the bottom of the support plate 2. The photoelectric sensor 526 senses the extreme position of the arrow track 523 respectively.
[0036] like Figure 9 As shown, a sensing column 531 is slidably connected to the packing bracket 53, and a photoelectric sensor 532 located above the sensing column 531 is fixedly connected to the packing bracket 53. The sensing column 531 slides to block the end of the photoelectric sensor 532. A linear motor 511 is installed on the horizontal bracket 51 to drive the packing bracket 53 to slide. During packing, the linear motor 511 drives the packing bracket 53 to slide downwards, the top of the brick stack pushes the sensing column 531 upwards, the end of the sensing column 531 blocks the photoelectric sensor 532, and the linear motor 511 stops moving.
[0037] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, two fixed supports 521 are slidably connected to a pressing plate 7 on opposite sides. A pressing cylinder 71 is provided on the packaging support 53 to drive the pressing plate 7 to slide. A sensing device 8 is provided on the fixed support 521. The sensing device 8 includes a connecting rod 81 rotatably connected to the fixed support 521, a photoelectric sensor 82 fixedly connected to the fixed support 521, and a pulling spring 83 that pulls the connecting rod 81 to rotate away from the conveyor belt 3. A second sensing plate 84 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 81. The connecting rod 81 rotates under the push of the pressing plate 7 and contacts the rotating side wall. The end of the connecting rod 81 is opposite to the guide groove 522. The second sensing plate 84 rotates to block the photoelectric sensor 82.
[0038] When using the brick rotary baler, the support plate 2 is placed on the conveyor belt 3, and the brick stack is placed on the support plate 2. The brick stack, together with the support plate 2, moves on the conveyor belt 3. When the brick stack is conveyed to the bottom of the guide support frame, the controller stops the conveyor belt 3.
[0039] The controller controls the linear motor 511 to drive the packing bracket 53 to slide downwards, and the top of the brick stack pushes the sensing column 531 to move upwards. When the end of the sensing column 531 blocks the photoelectric sensor 532, the photoelectric sensor 532 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller stops the linear motor 511.
[0040] Then, the controller controls the clamping cylinder 71 to press the clamping plate 7 against both sides of the brick stack, aligning the brick stack. At the same time, the clamping plate 7 pushes the connecting rod 81 to rotate and fit against the side wall of the brick stack. Figure 6 As shown;
[0041] Then, the controller activates the cylinder of arrow track 523, which drives the two arrow tracks 523 to slide into the threading gap 23. The ends of the two arrow tracks 523 are connected, and the tops of the two arrow tracks 523 are connected to the guide groove 522. When the two photoelectric sensors 526 inside the guide groove are blocked, it indicates that the ends of the two arrow tracks 523 are in contact. The packing head 6 drives the binding strap 91 to pass through, tighten, and weld from the guide groove 522 and the arrow tracks 523, thereby binding the binding strap 91 in the threading gap 23 to complete one round of binding of the brick stack. At the same time, the end of the connecting rod 81 is bound to the inside of the binding strap 91. Figure 6 As shown;
[0042] After completing one round of binding, the controller controls the arrow path 523 cylinder and linear motor to reset. When the two photoelectric sensors 526 on the outer side of the guide groove are blocked, it indicates that the two arrow paths 523 have detached from the support plate 2. The controller then controls the linear motor 512 to start driving the longitudinal support 52 to slide. The longitudinal support 52 slides relative to the brick stack, and the end of the connecting rod 81 is gradually pulled out from the binding strap 91. When the connecting rod 81 is separated from the end of the binding strap 91, the connecting rod 81 rotates under the tension of the pull spring 83. The second sensing plate 84 rotates and blocks the photoelectric sensor 3. The photoelectric sensor 3 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the linear motor 512 to stop moving. Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the controller once again controls the linear motor 511 to drive the packing bracket 53 to slide down and perform the next round of binding on the brick stack. After the brick stack is packed in one direction, the controller drives the horizontal bracket 51 to rotate 90 degrees and repeats the packing operation, thereby realizing the horizontal and vertical packing of the brick stack at one workstation.
