Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cotton towel production, and in particular to a packing equipment for a cotton towel production line. Background Technology

[0002] Cotton soft towels are made from 100% pure natural cotton raw materials. Because they are produced using advanced all-cotton spunlace nonwoven fabric technology and then sterilized by high-pressure steam, they are soft, delicate, highly absorbent, and lint-free. They are a new environmentally friendly alternative to paper towels, cotton pads, and face towels.

[0003] The existing cotton towel production line requires manual packing after production, which results in high labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the purposes of this application is to provide a packing equipment for a cotton towel production line, which has the advantage of low labor intensity for employees.

[0005] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A packing device for a cotton towel production line includes a conveying device, a lifting device, and a clamping device. The conveying device is arranged on both sides of the lifting device. The lifting device includes a lifting frame and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is used to drive the lifting frame to lift. The lifting frame is equipped with a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism and the conveying device have the same conveying direction. A box-supporting device is also provided above the lifting frame. The box-supporting device includes a contact element. The contact element is located on the moving path of the box lid. The clamping device is used to clamp the finished cotton towels into the box.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the conveying device transports the carton to the transmission mechanism, and then the drive mechanism drives the lifting frame to rise, which in turn drives the transmission mechanism to rise, causing the carton to move upward. During this process, the carton lid comes into contact with the contacting part and is fixed by the contacting part. Then the clamping device clamps the cotton towel into the carton, so there is no need for manual packing, which reduces labor intensity.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the carton support device also includes a divider for extending into the carton to divide the carton into different areas.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the carton is raised during use, the divider extends into the carton to divide it into different areas. Therefore, when cotton towels are placed inside the carton, the probability of a single row of cotton towels being too high and tipping over can be effectively reduced.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that: the clamping device includes a moving mechanism and a clamping mechanism, the moving mechanism being used to drive the clamping mechanism to move, and the clamping mechanism including a detection component being used to detect whether the cotton towel meets the requirements.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the cotton towels will be inspected when they are placed into the cardboard box during use. Only when the cotton towels meet the requirements will they be placed into the cardboard box.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that: the detection component includes a detection rod, an elastic element, and a response element, wherein the elastic element is connected to the detection rod such that the detection rod tends to move downwards, the lower end of the detection rod is used to contact the cotton towel, and the response element is disposed above the detection rod and located on the movement path of the detection rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, since the lower end of the detection rod is in contact with the cotton towel, when the specifications of the cotton towel meet the requirements, the detection rod will contact the response device, thus indicating that the cotton towel meets the requirements. When the detection rod is not in contact with the response device, the response device will not be triggered, thus indicating that the cotton towel does not meet the requirements.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the clamping device further includes a clamping platform for storing cotton towels, the clamping platform including a hinge plate and a support frame, the hinge plate and the support frame being hinged together, and the support frame being provided with a driving member for driving the hinge plate to rotate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cotton towels on the hinge plate do not meet the requirements, the driving component drives the hinge plate to rotate, thereby tilting the hinge plate and causing the cotton towels on the hinge plate to slide off, thus achieving the purpose of removing the non-compliant cotton towels.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured such that the support frame is also provided with a blocking component, the blocking component including a blocking plate and a power component, the power component being used to drive the blocking plate to move so as to prevent the cotton towel from moving to the hinge plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, if the cotton towel continues to move when the hinge plate is in an inclined state, it will cause the cotton towel to fall. Therefore, the presence of the blocking plate can prevent the cotton towel from continuing to move to the hinge plate.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that: the driving component includes a transmission rod, a hinge rod, and a driving plate; the driving plate and the transmission rod are both fixedly connected to the hinge rod; the hinge rod is hinged to the support frame; one end of the transmission rod contacts the lower surface of the hinge plate, and the other end contacts the blocking plate and is located below the blocking plate, for driving the blocking plate to move up and down.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, when the hinge plate tilts, it will drive the transmission rod to rotate, which in turn drives the drive plate to rotate. During the rotation of the drive plate, it will drive the blocking plate to rise, thereby playing a blocking role. After the blocking is completed, the hinge plate returns to horizontal. Under the action of power, the blocking plate causes the drive plate to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission rod to contact the lower surface of the hinge plate.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured to include a control system comprising a detection module, a counting module, a statistics module, a timing module, and a reporting module. The detection module detects whether the gripping mechanism has moved to the cotton towel. When the gripping mechanism moves to the cotton towel and the responder is not responded to, the counting module counts and sends a timing signal to the timing module. The timing module counts down after receiving the timing signal and sends an end signal to the statistics module after the countdown ends. The statistics module reads the value in the counting module. When the value in the statistics module is greater than a preset value, it sends a report signal to the reporting module. The reporting module reports after receiving the report signal.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, unqualified cotton towels are counted during use. When the number of unqualified cotton towels exceeds the preset value within a certain period of time, a report is made, which facilitates the operator to inspect the previous process.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the control system may be further configured such that: the control system further includes a data module, the data module including a data unit, when the responding element is responded to, a signal is sent to the data unit, the data unit counts, and when the count value reaches a preset value, a compliance signal is sent to the reporting module.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the responding component is responded to, it indicates that the cotton soft towel meets the requirements. The number of cotton soft towels that meet the requirements is counted, so that it is easy to know how many are placed in the carton. After the preset number of cotton soft towels are placed in the carton, the full carton is removed and the controlled carton is filled.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that: the control system further includes a database, the data module further includes a measurement unit, the measurement unit is used to measure the distance the detection rod moves, and store the value in the database.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the quantity of cotton towels can be converted into the height of the detection rod and stored in the database. Therefore, operators can retrieve the data in the database to understand the error of the cotton towels, which facilitates the adjustment of the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a packing device for a cotton towel production line, including a conveying device, a lifting device 2, and a clamping device 4. The conveying device is a roller conveyor, and there are two of them. The lifting device 2 is positioned between the two roller conveyors and includes a lifting frame 22 and a drive mechanism 21. The drive mechanism 21 drives the lifting frame 22 to move up and down. A transmission mechanism 23 is provided on the lifting frame 22. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 23 can also be a roller conveyor, and the conveying direction of the transmission mechanism 23 is the same as the conveying direction of the conveying device. A box-supporting device 1 is also provided above the lifting frame 22. The box-supporting device 1 includes a contact element 11 and a separator 12. The contact element 11 is located on the moving path of the carton lid. In this embodiment, the contact element 11 is rectangular in shape and formed by bending a round rod. The projection of the carton on the horizontal plane is within the projection range of the contact element 11 on the horizontal plane. The separator 12 includes a separator plate 122 and a bracket 121. Multiple separator plates 122 are fixedly mounted in a row on the bracket 121. The separator plates 122 are located above the carton, and their projections on the horizontal plane are within the projection range of the carton on the horizontal plane. The separator plates 122 are vertically arranged. The bracket 121 and the contact member 11 are fixedly connected. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 21 can be an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0034] In use, the carton is placed on the conveyor with the lid open, tilted outwards. The conveyor transports the carton to the transmission mechanism 23, and then the drive mechanism 21 drives the lifting frame 22 upwards. During this movement, the divider 12 contacts the carton lid, causing it to fold further, with the angle between the divider and the outer surface of the lid being less than 90 degrees. When the lifting frame 22 stops moving, the divider 122 extends into the carton, dividing the space inside. The packaged cotton towels are conveyed to the lifting device 2 by the roller conveyor. The gripping device 4 grips the cotton towels conveyed by the roller conveyor and places them into the divided spaces inside the carton, thus completing the packing of the cotton towels.

[0035] The gripping device 4 includes a moving mechanism and a gripping mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the moving mechanism is a robotic arm. The gripping mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the robotic arm and moved by the robotic arm. The gripping mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31 and gripping members 32. There are two gripping members 32, which are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the support plate 31. Each gripping member 32 includes a cylinder and a gripping plate 321. The cylinder is fixedly mounted on the support plate 31 and is used to drive the gripping plate 321 to move. The gripping mechanism 3 also includes a detection component 33, which includes a detection rod 331, an elastic member 332, and a response member 333. The support plate 31 has a through hole for the detection rod 331 to pass through. A retaining ring 334 is also fixedly connected to the detection rod 331. In this embodiment, the elastic member 332 is a spring sleeved on the detection rod 331. One end of the elastic member 332 abuts against the retaining ring 334, and the other end abuts against the support plate 31, thereby causing the detection rod 331 to have a downward tendency. The response element 333 is disposed above the detection rod 331. In this embodiment, the response element 333 can be a laser sensor. The light emitted by the laser sensor is perpendicular to the axis of the detection rod 331. When the cotton towel meets the specifications, the top of the detection rod 331 will be detected by the laser sensor, thereby triggering a response. In this embodiment, the response element 333 can also be a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is disposed above the detection rod 331 and located on the moving path of the detection rod 331. When the cotton towel meets the specifications, the top of the detection rod 331 will contact the pressure sensor, thereby triggering a response.

[0036] The clamping device 4 also includes a clamping platform, which is disposed on one side of the transmission mechanism 23 and located between the transmission mechanism 23 and the roller conveyor for conveying packaged cotton towels. The clamping platform includes a hinge plate 41 and a support frame 42, which are hinged together. The support frame 42 is provided with a driving component 43 for driving the hinge plate 41 to rotate. The bracket 121 and the contact component 11 are both fixedly connected to the support frame 42 by profiles. In this embodiment, the driving component 43 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod. The support frame 42 is also provided with a blocking assembly 44, which includes a blocking plate 444, a guide block 445, and a power component. The power component includes a transmission rod 442, a hinge rod 443, and a driving plate 441. The transmission rod 442 is fixedly installed at one end of the driving plate 441 and contacts the lower surface of the hinge plate 41. The hinge rod 443 is fixedly installed on both sides of the driving plate 441 and is hinged to the support frame 42. The drive plate 441 and the transmission rod 442 are located on both sides of the hinge rod 443, with one end of the drive plate 441 in contact with the lower end of the blocking plate 444. The guide block 445 is fixedly installed on the frame of the roller conveyor for conveying packaged cotton towels and is located on both sides of the blocking plate 444. The guide block 445 is provided with guide grooves for limiting the left and right movement of the blocking plate 444. The two sides of the blocking plate 444 are located in the guide grooves. Driven by the drive plate 441, the blocking plate 444 extends out from between the adjacent rollers of the roller conveyor for conveying packaged cotton towels.

[0037] In use, the packaged cotton wipes are conveyed to the hinge plate 41 by a roller conveyor. The moving mechanism drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move to the cotton wipes. As the support plate 31 moves to the cotton wipes, the bottom of the detection rod 331 gradually contacts the cotton wipes as the support plate 31 descends. When the support plate 31 is in place, if the cotton wipes are of acceptable specifications, the detection rod 331 will trigger the response element 333. If the cotton wipes are of unacceptable specifications, the detection rod 331 will not trigger the response element 333. The drive unit 43 drives the hinge plate 41 to flip, causing the hinge plate 41 to tilt. The cotton towel on the hinge plate 41 will slide off the hinge plate 41. During the tilting process, the hinge plate 41 will apply force to the transmission rod 442, causing the transmission rod 442 to drive the drive plate 441 to rotate, thereby causing the other end of the drive plate 441 to tilt upward, causing the blocking plate 444 to rise, thereby preventing the roller conveyor from conveying the cotton towel onto the hinge plate 41.

[0038] It also includes a control system, which includes a detection module 51, a counting module 52, a statistics module 54, a timing module 53, a reporting module 55, a data module 56, and a database 57. The detection module 51 is used to detect whether the gripping mechanism 3 has moved to the cotton towel. In this embodiment, the detection module 51 is a distance sensor, which is set on the support frame 42 and is used to detect the movement of the gripping plate 321. When the gripping mechanism 3 moves to the cotton towel and is detected by the detection module 51, the detection module 51 sends a signal to the counting module 52. If the response element 333 is not responded to within a certain period of time after receiving the signal from the detection module 51, the counting module 52 counts and sends a timing signal to the timing module 53. The timing module 53 starts a countdown after receiving the timing signal. Before the countdown ends, if the timing module 53 receives the timing signal again, it will not restart or extend the countdown. After the countdown ends, it sends an end signal to the statistics module 54. The statistics module 54 reads the value in the counting module 52. When the value in the statistics module 54 is greater than the preset value, it sends a report signal to the report module 55. The report module 55 reports after receiving the report signal.

[0039] The data module 56 includes a data unit 561 and a measurement unit 562. When the response element 333 is activated, a signal is sent to the data unit 561. The data unit 561 counts the data, and when the count reaches a preset value, a pass signal is sent to the report module 55. The measurement unit 562 measures the distance the detection rod 331 moves and stores the value in the database 57. The measurement unit is a distance sensor.

[0040] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, when the gripping plate 321 moves to a suitable position under the drive of the robotic arm, the detection rod 331 has completed the detection of the cotton towel. If the response element 333 is responded to, the gripping element 32 is controlled to grip the cotton towel and a signal is sent to the data unit 561. The data unit 561 counts, and when the count reaches a preset value, a pass signal is sent to the report module 55. If the response element 333 is not responded to and the detection module 51 detects the gripping plate 321, the counting module 52 counts and sends a timing signal to the timing module 53. The timing module 53 counts after receiving the timing signal and sends an end signal to the statistics module 54 after the count ends. The statistics module 54 reads the value in the counting module 52. When the value in the statistics module 54 is greater than the preset value, a report signal is sent to the report module 55. The report module 55 reports after receiving the report signal. After receiving the report, the operator performs maintenance on the corresponding equipment.

[0041] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
