Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-6 The illustrated flexible automatic collection mechanism for spout pouches includes a collection bracket 1, on which two symmetrically arranged cylinder fixing plates 2 are mounted. A pusher guide rail 73 is mounted on the surface of each of the two cylinder fixing plates 2. A sliding pusher adapter plate 4 is mounted on the pusher guide rail 73. A pusher mechanism 5 is mounted on the pusher adapter plate 4. A downwardly extending cylinder adapter plate 6 is mounted at each of the top ends of the collection bracket 1. Two symmetrically arranged guide rails 7 are connected between the bottom ends of the two cylinder adapter plates 6. Collection strips 8 are mounted on the inner walls of the two guide rails 7 that are close to each other. A collection channel 9 is formed between the two collection strips 8. A flexible collection mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the end of the collection channel 9.

[0021] Furthermore, a cylinder connecting plate 11 extending outward is installed on the cylinder adapter plate 6 near the flexible receiving mechanism 10. A receiving cylinder 12 extending towards the flexible receiving mechanism 10 is installed at the bottom end of the receiving cylinder 12 connecting plate 11. The output axis of the receiving cylinder 12 extends towards the flexible receiving mechanism 10. A receiving nylon block 13 is installed at the end of the output shaft of the receiving cylinder 12.

[0022] Furthermore, the pusher plate 4 slides left and right along the direction of the pusher guide rail 73, and the pusher mechanism 5 moves above the guide rail 7 and the receiving plate 8 as the pusher plate 4 slides. When the suction bag is located in the receiving channel 9 between the receiving plate 8, the pusher mechanism 5 pushes the suction bag to move along the receiving channel 9.

[0023] Based on the above, the product enters the receiving mechanism from the front turntable. Since the suction bag is in the form of a double slot, it transitions from the turntable to the flexible receiving mechanism 10 through the alternating slots. At this time, the photoelectric sensor activates the receiving cylinder 12, which sends the product into the receiving channel 9 between the two guide rails 7. The pushing mechanism 5 on the pushing adapter plate 4 of the two pushing guide rails 73 alternately moves to send the product into the rear filling machine, achieving linkage and automated control with the filling machine.

[0024] When the nozzle bag transitions from the turntable to the flexible receiving mechanism 10, the receiving cylinder 12 is activated, pushing the receiving nylon block 13 onto the top of the nozzle bag and pushing the nozzle bag into the receiving channel 9.

[0025] Furthermore, a protective cover 14 is installed at the edge of one of the cylinder fixing plates 2, a cable chain fixing plate 15 is fixed on the outer wall of the protective cover 14, and a cable chain 16 is installed on the cable chain fixing plate 15.

[0026] Furthermore, a drag chain connecting plate 17 is installed on the pusher adapter plate 4, and the other end of the drag chain connecting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the drag chain 16.

[0027] Based on the above, the drag chain 16 works, and the drag chain connecting plate 17 moves it and the pusher plate 4, causing the pusher plate 4 and the pusher mechanism 5 to slide left and right above the guide rail 7, thereby pushing the suction bag located inside the guide rail 7 to be transported and moved.

[0028] A high-speed solenoid valve 18 is installed on the cylinder connecting plate 11. The high-speed solenoid valve 18 is located above the flexible receiving mechanism 10. The high-speed solenoid valve 18 is used to sense the position of the suction bag and control the receiving cylinder 12.

[0029] The flexible receiving mechanism 10 includes a first guide rail plate 19 and a second guide rail plate 20. The first guide rail plate 19 and the second guide rail plate 20 are respectively located on one side of the ends of two guide rails 7. The first guide rail plate 19 is fixed to the end of one of the guide rails 7. The first guide rail plate 19 and the second guide rail plate 20 are each provided with an inclined arc edge 21. A flexible receiving channel 22 is formed between the arc edges 21 of the first guide rail plate 19 and the second guide rail plate 20. The flexible receiving channel 22 is connected to the receiving channel 9 and is inclined.

[0030] A paddle groove 23 is provided on the guide rail 7 located on one side of the second guide rail plate 20. A paddle 24 is provided in the paddle groove 23. The paddle 24 extends to the second guide rail plate 20 and is located on one side of the flexible material receiving channel 22. A torsion spring 25 is connected between the paddle 24 and the guide rail 7. The paddle 24 is movably connected to the guide rail 7 through the torsion spring 25.

[0031] When the flexible receiving mechanism 10 is working, it will first receive the nozzle bag into the flexible receiving channel 22. When the product is in place but not sent into the receiving channel 9, it will not cause jamming at this position. The flexible mechanism at this position solves the jamming problem. When the product does not enter the receiving channel 9, it will automatically rotate to the next process, ensuring the continuous operation of the equipment.

[0032] Based on the above, the edges of the arc edges 21 of the first guide rail plate 19 and the second guide rail plate 20 are located on one side of the turntable. When the suction bag transitions to the flexible receiving mechanism 10 through the turntable, the suction bag will enter the flexible receiving channel 22 along the edge of the arc edge 21, so that there is a buffer zone between the suction bag and the receiving channel 9, so that there will be no jamming when the product enters the receiving channel 9. Then, as the turntable continues to feed, the suction bag enters the receiving channel 9 between the guide rails 7 along the flexible receiving channel 22. Then, through the movable pushing mechanism 5, the suction bag is conveyed to the filling equipment side along the receiving channel 9.

[0033] Furthermore, an upward and downward sliding groove transition is formed between the receiving channel 9 and the flexible receiving channel 22, which solves the problem of transition in the production of spout bag products.

[0034] Furthermore, when non-compliant products are present, the spout bag can be pushed along the flexible collection channel 22, and the pusher 24 at the end of the collection channel 9 can be pushed to make the pusher 24 rotate through the torsion spring 25, so that the spout bag falls from the pusher 24 and is recycled.
