Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aluminum foil roll conveying and packaging technology, and in particular to a fully automatic roll conveying and packaging system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing roll materials have high requirements for conveying and packaging. These rolls cannot be directly transported on traditional conveyor belts because the surface is easily damaged. Packaging must not only prevent collisions and protect the roll, but also prevent moisture and oxidation, such as aluminum foil rolls. The traditional packaging method for this type of roll is as follows: the cylindrical surface is wrapped with pearl cotton, slightly wider than the aluminum roll width, and both ends are protected with round pearl cotton end caps. Then, film is wrapped around the pearl cotton, with the film being a calculated length wider than the aluminum roll width. The film at both ends is then manually inserted into the aluminum roll core, the core is plugged, a steel pipe or top core is inserted, and then it is lifted into a wooden crate. The steel pipe or top core rests on the crate's supports, ensuring the roll does not contact the crate. After packing, it is stored in the warehouse. Currently, the conveying and packaging process of aluminum foil rolls is almost entirely done manually, especially the packaging process, which has low automation, high labor costs, and low conveying and packaging efficiency.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] like Figure 1-9As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a fully automatic roll material conveying and packaging system, including a conveying device 1, an EPE foam packaging device 2, a film packaging device 3, and an automatic control unit. The automatic control unit operates and controls the various actions of the mechanical equipment in the system through a carefully designed non-standard program, ensuring that each action is completed automatically and sequentially. The computer management system consists of hardware and software, managing and acquiring information about the roll material through barcodes, thereby cooperating with the automatic control system to complete automatic control actions, and simultaneously interacting with the customer's data system. The conveying device 1 is equipped with a V-shaped plate 4 to support and protect the surface of the roll material from indentations. The EPE foam packaging device 2 and the film packaging device 3 are respectively positioned above the conveying device 1, and are used to automatically package the roll material with EPE foam and film sequentially. The automatic control unit is electrically connected to the conveying device 1, the EPE foam packaging device 2, and the film packaging device 3 to automatically control the three devices and ensure automatic coordination between them. This fully automatic roll material conveying and packaging system realizes the functions of automatic conveying, automatic packaging, and data interaction with the customer's data system, greatly reducing the number of operators, improving the degree of automation and packaging efficiency, and enhancing the customer's level of digital production, thus having strong practical significance.

[0037] In this embodiment, a V-shaped plate 4 is selected for transportation, which can meet the safe transportation of rolls of different diameters and has high versatility.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveying device 1 has a double-layer structure, including an upper conveying unit 11 and a lower conveying unit 12. Both layers of the conveying system consist of multiple conveying devices forming a continuous conveying system. The upper conveying unit 11 is used to convey the roll material. The roll material is first placed on the V-shaped plate 4, and the V-shaped plate 4 is placed on the conveying device 1. The lower conveying unit 11 is used to return and convey the V-shaped plate 4. The upper conveying unit 11 and the lower conveying unit 12 are respectively provided with lifting conveyors 13 for continuous conveying. The lifting conveyors 13 move the V-shaped plate 4 from the upper conveying unit 11 to the lower conveying unit 12, and from the lower conveying unit 12 to the upper conveying unit 11, realizing continuous upper and lower layer conveying and recycling of the V-shaped plate 4. The conveying process of the conveying device 1 can be equipped with auxiliary equipment such as scanners, labeling machines, and centering machines as needed. The inner surface of the V-shaped plate 4 is provided with a protective layer made of non-rigid material (soft material). There is no friction on the surface of the roll material during the conveying process, and the roll material can be better protected.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pearl cotton packaging device 2 includes a lifting mechanism 21 for lifting the roll from the V-shaped plate 4 and having a pin unit 213, an end cap insertion mechanism 22 for placing end caps on the pin unit 213, a pearl cotton packaging mechanism 23 for wrapping pearl cotton on the outer surface of the roll, and a fixing packaging mechanism 24 for fixing the pearl cotton on the roll. The lifting mechanism 21 is located directly above the conveying device 1. The end cap insertion mechanism 22 and the pearl cotton packaging mechanism 23 are located at opposite ends of the lifting mechanism 21. The fixing packaging mechanism 24 is located on one side of the conveying device 1 and is symmetrically arranged with the pearl cotton packaging mechanism 23 about the conveying device 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 21 includes an overhead frame 211, a mobile trolley 212 mounted on the overhead frame 211, a pin unit 213, and a lifting unit 214 for driving the pin unit 213 to move up and down. The pin unit 213 is mainly used to insert the roll material from the V-shaped plate 4. The pin unit 213 can drive the roll material to rotate together, which is convenient for packaging and tape application. The mobile trolley 212 on the overhead frame 211 runs in the same direction as the conveying device 1. The mobile trolley 212 moves along the conveying direction on the overhead frame 211. The mobile trolley 212 is driven by a reducer through a chain and sprocket to drive the main shaft. The main shaft is equipped with wheels at both ends. The lifting unit 214 includes a mounting frame 2141 and a lifting part 2142, a guide part 2143, and a clamping part 2144 mounted on the mounting frame 2141. The lifting part 2142 is powered by a hydraulic cylinder or a reducer to drive the lead screw for lifting. The guide portion 2143 slides up and down along the guide unit on the moving crane 212. The guide unit on the moving crane 212 can be a guide sleeve, a linear guide rail, or other structures disclosed in the prior art that can play a guiding role. The clamping portion 2144 is driven by a reducer to drive the lead screw, which in turn drives the ejector pin unit 213 to clamp or release the roll material. The ejector pin 2131 of the ejector pin unit 213 is designed as a structure of a two-diameter air-expanded stepped shaft to accommodate two types of roll cores. The ejector pin unit 213 includes two oppositely arranged ejector pins 2131 and a suction cup assembly 2132 that works in conjunction with the end cap implantation mechanism 22. Alternatively, the ejector pin unit 213 may include two oppositely arranged ejector pins 2131. In this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 2132 includes an air suction structure and an air blowing structure. The suction cup assembly 2132 is equipped with a cylinder. When the small air-expanding shaft is working, the cylinder pushes out the suction end cap. When the large air-expanding shaft is working, the cylinder retracts the suction end cap. In this embodiment, the criteria for determining whether the suction cup assembly 2132 in the ejector pin unit 213 needs to be included are as follows: When the end cap implantation mechanism 22 places the end cap onto the ejector pin 2131, because some manufacturers use pearl cotton end caps that are not upright, the suction cup assembly 2132 needs to suck them up from above to lift the end cap and prevent it from collapsing. Once the ejector pin 2131 presses against the roll material, the suction cup assembly 2132 must stop sucking air, and the blowing structure blows air to make the end cap fit snugly against the end of the roll material. If the pearl cotton used by the manufacturer is upright, the suction and blowing actions are unnecessary, and in this case, the ejector pin unit 213 may not include the suction cup assembly 2132. One end of the ejector pin unit 213 has a driving force that can drive the ejector pin unit 213 to rotate.

[0041] In this embodiment, the end cap implantation mechanism 22 includes a robotic arm and a gripper mounted on the robotic arm. The end cap implantation mechanism 22 can also be any of the existing disclosed end cap implantation structures. Before the roll body is packaged, the end cap implantation mechanism 22 implants the end cap onto the lifting pin 2131. When the pin 2131 is inserted into the roll core, the end cap is against the end face of the roll, and the packaging machine then wraps the roll body.

[0042] In this embodiment, the EPE foam packaging mechanism 23 includes several cotton racks 231, a cotton feeding unit 232 equal in number to the cotton racks 231, a cotton cutting unit 233, and a cotton guiding platform 234. The cotton racks 231 are used to hold EPE foam. Multiple cotton racks 231 can be provided to hold EPE foam of different widths. The width of the EPE foam on the cotton rack 231 is greater than the width of the roll material, causing the sides of the EPE foam to extend beyond the roll material. This allows the extended portion of the EPE foam to be used to wrap the end corners of the roll material. The cotton feeding unit 232 consists of a drive roller and a feed roller... The system consists of moving rollers. When the main and driven rollers roll against each other, the pearl cotton can be fed out and delivered to the front of the cotton guiding platform 234. Multiple cotton feeding units 232 are set up as needed to feed multiple sheets of pearl cotton respectively. The cotton cutting unit 233 is set above the cotton guiding platform 234. The cotton cutting unit 233 consists of a cutting device and a power device. After the roll material is packaged to the required number of layers, the feeding of pearl cotton stops, and the cotton cutting unit 233 cuts the pearl cotton. The cotton output end of the cotton guiding platform 234 is aligned with the packaging surface of the roll material on the lifting mechanism 21.

[0043] In this embodiment, the packaging material fixing mechanism 24 includes a robot 241 and a tape machine 242, with the tape machine 242 mounted on the clamp mounting position of the robot 241. When the head of the pearl cotton is delivered to the front of the cotton guiding platform 234, the robot 241 extends the tape directly above and fixes the cotton head to the roll material with tape. After packaging, the pearl cotton is cut by the cotton cutting unit 233 and the cotton tail is fixed with tape. The width of the pearl cotton is greater than that of the roll material, and the ends of the pearl cotton extend beyond the roll material. Robot 241 extends the tape applicator 242 to one end of the roll material and applies tape from the roll side to the end side at a certain point, forming a 90° angle. After application, the ejector pin 2131 rotates the roll material at a certain angle and applies a second 90° tape. Depending on the situation, 3-6 90° tapes are applied to the circumference of the roll material. In this way, the excess pearl cotton at the end is wrapped around the end cap and fixed together with the end cap. This tape application method not only fixes the end cap and protects the corners of the roll material, but also facilitates the subsequent film sleeve application. The same method is used to apply 3-6 90° tapes to the other end of the roll material.

[0044] In this embodiment, the film packaging device 3 includes a second lifting mechanism 31 for lifting the coil wrapped with EPE from the V-shaped plate, a film sleeving mechanism 32 for wrapping the film around the entire outer surface of the coil, a film plugging mechanism 33 for inserting the film heads at both ends of the coil into the core tube, and a core plug implanting mechanism 34 for plugging the pipe plugs at both ends of the core tube. The film packaging device 3 is used to wrap the entire outer surface of the coil to make it moisture-proof. The second lifting mechanism 31 is directly above the conveying device 1. In this embodiment, the conveying device 1 has an electric turntable here to rotate the coil by 90° for easy lifting. The second lifting mechanism 31 is located above the electric turntable of the conveying device 1. The second lifting mechanism 31 and the film sleeving mechanism 32 are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the conveying line. The lifting arm of the second lifting mechanism 31 is C-shaped, and the lower crossbar of the C-shape is cantilevered to facilitate the film sleeve. The second lifting mechanism 31 lifts the coil and moves it to the front of the film sleeving mechanism 32. The film sleeve of the film sleeving mechanism 32 is sleeved on the coil, and the film sleeve extends beyond the width of the coil. The specific length of the film sleeve is calculated by the system. After reaching the set length, the film sleeve is automatically cut. The second lifting mechanism 31 moves the film-sleeved coil above the conveying device 1 and lowers the coil onto the V-shaped plate 4. The conveying device 1 sends the coil to the front of the film plugging mechanism 33, and the film plugging mechanism 33 inserts the film heads at both ends into the core tube. The conveying device 1 sends the coil to the front of the core plug implanting mechanism 34, and the core plug implanting mechanism 34 plugs the pipe plugs at both ends of the core tube. The film heads are tightly squeezed in the core tube, and the film packaging is completed with good sealing performance.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 31 includes a frame body 311, a moving unit 312, a second lifting unit 313, and a lifting unit 314. The lifting unit 314 includes a driving component 3141, a fixed frame 3142, a first core-piercing rod 3143, and a second core-piercing rod 3144. The driving component 3141 includes a reducer and bearings. The driving component 3141 is installed on the large vertical plate of the second lifting unit 313. The driving component 3141 is connected with a driving long shaft 3145. The diameters of the first core-piercing rod 3143 and the second core-piercing rod 3144 are different, which are the large core-piercing rod and the small core-piercing rod respectively. The first core-piercing rod 3143 and the second core-piercing rod 3144 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the driving long shaft 3145 and form a horizontally placed "towel" - shaped structure with the driving long shaft 3145. The coil passes through the core-piercing rods from the "towel" - shaped opening side. When the core of the coil is a large core, the large core-piercing rod is used. On the contrary, when the core of the coil is a small core, the driving device rotates the long shaft by 180° to swap the positions of the upper and lower core-piercing rods to meet the requirements of the coil core size.

[0046] In this embodiment, the structure of the film sleeving mechanism 32 is a common film sleeving structure in the prior art.

[0047] In this embodiment, the film-plugging mechanism 33 includes a robot 331 and a film-plugging clamp 332. The head of the film-plugging clamp 332 is a tubular structure. After the film is sucked up from the outer circumference of the end face, it slides towards the core and then inserts the film head into the core. The film head is inserted from 3-4 directions around the circumference to insert the entire film head into the core. The core plug implantation mechanism 34 includes a robot 341 and a core plug clamp 342. The head of the core plug clamp 342 is a stepped shaft structure to adapt to different core sizes. The automatic control unit instructs the robot 341 to grab the corresponding core plug and insert it into the roll core, which protects the two ends of the core. The film-plugging mechanism 33 is set directly in front of the core plug implantation mechanism 34 along the conveying direction of the conveying device, which facilitates the film-plugging operation first and then the core plug implantation.

[0048] A fully automated roll material conveying and packaging method includes the aforementioned fully automated roll material conveying and packaging system, and comprises the following steps:

[0049] S1. Place the V-shaped plate 4 at the starting position of the conveying device 1, and then place the roll material to be packaged on the V-shaped plate so that the roll material is transported together with the V-shaped plate 4.

[0050] When S2 and V-shaped plate 4 are conveyed to the pearl cotton packaging device 2, the roll material is first automatically lifted by the lifting mechanism 21. The end cap is automatically placed in the corresponding position on the pearl cotton packaging device by the end cap insertion mechanism 22. Under the action of the packaging material fixing mechanism 24, the cotton head of the pearl cotton is automatically fixed to the cylindrical surface of the roll material with tape. The roll material rotates so that the pearl cotton completely covers the cylindrical surface of the roll material, and then is fixed with tape. The excess pearl cotton at both ends of the roll material is automatically folded 90 degrees with tape so that the pearl cotton is tightly attached to the end cap at the end of the roll material. Tape is then used to stick the pearl cotton from the cylindrical surface of the roll material to the end face to fix it. The pearl cotton packaging process is completed.

[0051] S3. After step S2 is completed, the roll of material covered with pearl cotton falls back onto the V-shaped plate 4 below it and continues to be transported forward with the V-shaped plate 4 until it stops at the location of the film packaging device 3.

[0052] S4. The second lifting mechanism 31 automatically lifts the roll material covered with pearl cotton. The film wrapping mechanism 32, the film plugging mechanism 33, and the core plug insertion mechanism 34 sequentially perform the film packaging process on the roll material covered with pearl cotton. After the film packaging process is completed, the roll material falls back onto the V-shaped plate 4 below it, and continues to be transported forward with the V-shaped plate 4 and leaves the V-shaped plate 4 for the subsequent tube threading and storage process.

[0053] S5. The empty V-shaped plate 4 continues to be transported along the conveyor device 1 and returns to the starting position of the conveyor device 1 to carry out the next or next batch of roll material conveying and packaging process.
