Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corner protector packaging technology, specifically a corner protector sorting, lifting, flattening, and packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] Palletized stacks are prone to tilting and scattering during transportation, so long corner protectors and strapping are needed before transportation. The long corner protectors need to be disassembled when used. Currently, collection is usually done manually, resulting in a messy overall state of the corner protectors. Manual sorting is labor-intensive, inefficient, and time-consuming. At the same time, since the corner protectors are mostly right-angled, they are not easy to pack and sort. After packing, there are gaps between the corner protectors, resulting in a large amount of unusable space. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corner-protecting sorting, lifting, flattening, and packaging machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a corner protector sorting, lifting, flattening, and packaging machine, comprising a frame, a central frame, and a stacking bin. The central frame is located on one side of the bottom of the frame, and the stacking bin is located on the other side of the top of the frame, with the stacking bin tilted downwards. Several transverse central conveyor belts are arranged on the central frame, and several longitudinal lifting conveyor belts are arranged on the side of the frame close to the central frame. Several transverse flattening conveyor belts are arranged on the top of the frame. The bottom end of each lifting conveyor belt connects to the central conveyor belt, the top end of each lifting conveyor belt connects to one end of the flattening conveyor belt, and the other end of the flattening conveyor belt connects to the stacking bin. A flattening roller is installed on the upper part of the flattening conveyor belt near the stacking bin. The central conveyor belt, lifting conveyor belt, and flattening conveyor belt are all configured as annular output belts, and drive rollers are arranged on the inner sides of each. A flattening channel is formed between the flattening roller and one of the adjacent drive rollers of the flattening conveyor belt to flatten the corner protector body.

[0006] Preferably, the central conveyor belt and the lifting conveyor belt are staggered, and a groove is formed on the side surface of the frame facing the central frame, into which the lifting conveyor belt is embedded; the lifting conveyor belt is provided with sorting fins, and the sorting fins on different lifting conveyor belts are aligned with each other.

[0007] Preferably, the sorting fins are configured with an L-shaped structure, with one part of the sorting fins fixed to the lifting conveyor belt and the other part perpendicular to the lifting conveyor belt; the sorting fins support the right-angled corner protector body and drive it to move.

[0008] Preferably, the flattening conveyor belt is provided with push blocks, and the push blocks on different flattening conveyor belts are aligned with each other. The flattening conveyor belt is configured as a square structure and is directly fixed to the flattening conveyor belt by screws.

[0009] Preferably, the flattening roller is mounted on the adjusting seat at both ends via a rotating shaft, and an adjusting groove is correspondingly provided on the frame. The adjusting seat is set in the adjusting groove, and the two sides of the adjusting seat are engaged with the groove walls on both sides of the adjusting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the adjusting groove is a square groove, and an adjusting screw is provided on the upper part of the adjusting seat. The adjusting screw is rotatably mounted on the adjusting seat, and the adjusting screw passes through the groove wall on the upper side of the adjusting groove through a threaded structure.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5This invention provides a technical solution: a corner protector sorting, lifting, flattening, and packaging machine, comprising a frame 1, a central frame 2, and a stacking bin 8. The central frame 2 is located on one side of the bottom of the frame 1, and the stacking bin 8 is located on the other side of the top of the frame 1, with the stacking bin 8 inclined downwards. The central frame 2 is provided with several transverse central conveyor belts 3, and the side of the frame 1 closest to the central frame 2 is provided with several longitudinal lifting conveyor belts 4. Several transverse flattening conveyor belts 5 are provided at the top of the frame 1. The bottom end of the conveyor belt 4 is connected to the central conveyor belt 3, the top end of the lifting conveyor belt 4 is connected to one end of the flattening conveyor belt 5, and the other end of the flattening conveyor belt 5 is connected to the stacking bin 8. A flattening roller 7 is installed on the upper part of the flattening conveyor belt 5 near the stacking bin 8. The central conveyor belt 3, the lifting conveyor belt 4, and the flattening conveyor belt 5 are all set as annular output belts, and drive rollers are provided on the inner side of each of them. A flattening channel is formed between the flattening roller 7 and one of the adjacent drive rollers of the flattening conveyor belt 5 to flatten the corner protector body 6.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame 1 facing the central frame 2 has several through slots, and the flattening conveyor belt 5 passes through the through slots into the frame 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the centralized conveyor belt 3 and the lifting conveyor belt 4 are staggered, and a groove is opened on the surface of the frame 1 facing the centralized frame 2, and the lifting conveyor belt 4 is embedded in the groove; sorting fins 11 are provided on the lifting conveyor belt 4, and the sorting fins 11 on different lifting conveyor belts 4 are aligned with each other.

[0026] Furthermore, the sorting fins 11 are configured with an L-shaped structure. A portion of the sorting fins 11 is fixed to the lifting conveyor belt 4, while the other portion remains perpendicular to the lifting conveyor belt 4. The sorting fins 11 support the right-angled corner protector body 6 and drive it to move.

[0027] Furthermore, the flattening conveyor belt 5 is provided with push blocks 12, and the push blocks 12 on different flattening conveyor belts 5 are aligned with each other. The flattening conveyor belt 5 is configured as a square structure and is directly fixed to the flattening conveyor belt 5 by screws.

[0028] Furthermore, the flattening roller 7 is mounted on the adjusting seat 10 at both ends via a rotating shaft, and an adjusting groove is correspondingly provided on the frame 1. The adjusting seat 10 is set in the adjusting groove, and the two sides of the adjusting seat 10 are engaged with the groove walls on both sides of the adjusting groove.

[0029] Furthermore, the adjustment groove is configured as a square groove, and an adjustment screw 13 is provided on the upper part of the adjustment seat 10. The adjustment screw 13 is rotatably mounted on the adjustment seat 10, and the adjustment screw 13 passes through the groove wall on the upper side of the adjustment groove through a threaded structure.

[0030] Furthermore, the stacking compartment 8 has an angle of 30° to 70° with the vertical direction, and protruding baffles 14 are provided on both sides of the stacking compartment 8.

[0031] Furthermore, a baffle 9 is provided in the stacking compartment 8, the baffle 9 abuts against the flattened corner protector body 6; the baffle 9 is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the stacking compartment 8 and moves along the length direction of the stacking compartment 8.

[0032] Working principle: In actual use, the drive rollers of the three conveyor belts—central conveyor belt 3, lifting conveyor belt 4, and flattening conveyor belt 5—are activated, thus putting the three conveyor belts into operation. The long corner protectors that need to be sorted are first placed on the central conveyor belt 3, and then transported to the lifting conveyor belt 4. They are supported by the sorting fins 11 on the lifting conveyor belt 4, moving upwards and finally to the flattening conveyor belt 5. The pusher blocks 12 on the flattening conveyor belt 5 hold them in place and drive them forward, moving them below the flattening roller 7. The drive roller in the flattening conveyor belt 5, located below the flattening roller 7, can be considered as the flattening bottom roller. A gap is left between the flattening bottom roller and the flattening roller 7 as a flattening channel for the corner protector body 6 to pass through and be flattened. The flattened corner protector body 6 falls into the stacking bin 8 and is stacked layer by layer under the obstruction of the baffle 9 for unified collection.

[0033] When placing the corner protector body 6, arrange it so that it is perpendicular to the centralized conveyor belt 3. The corner protector body 6 has an overall L-shaped structure, and its placement posture on the centralized conveyor belt 3 can vary. Please refer to [link / reference] for details. Figure 3 The corner protector body 6, in various postures, moves to the lifting conveyor belt 4. Because the corner protector body 6 is moved by the central conveyor belt 3, it will interact with the sorting fins 11, and be moved upwards along with the lifting conveyor belt 4 by the sorting fins 11. The corner protector body 6 and the sorting fins 11 can also interact in different postures; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,exist Figure 4 The placement posture structure is unstable, and its center of gravity is not on the sorting fins 11. During the upward process, it will slip back onto the concentrating conveyor belt 3, be supported and carried upward again, and finally form... Figure 5 In this posture, one side of the corner protector body 6 is dragged by the sorting fins 11, while the other side is attached to the lifting conveyor belt 4, moving onto the flattening conveyor belt 5. After moving onto the flattening conveyor belt 5, the corner protector body 6 moves along with it, eventually reaching the flattening channel below the flattening roller 7. A pusher block 12 is installed on the flattening conveyor belt 5. The main function of the pusher block 12 is to hold the corner protector body 6 against and push it into the flattening channel for flattening.

[0034] The height of the adjusting seat 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw 13, thereby changing the height of the flattening roller 7 and thus changing the size and specifications of the flattening channel, making it suitable for use with corner protector bodies 6 of different sizes. The flattened corner protector body 6 has a sheet-like structure and falls into the inclined stacking bin 8, where it is blocked by the baffles 14 on both sides to ensure that it falls into the stacking bin 8 and prevents it from slipping outwards; and under the support of the baffle strips 9, it is stacked layer by layer and collected uniformly.

[0035] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a master control button. Since the device matched with the control button is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
