Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and specifically relates to a product unpacking, film removal, and packaging system. Background Technology
[0002] Some products, such as rare earth magnetic products, are usually wrapped in a thin film and placed inside an outer shell during normal storage to isolate them from the outside air, reduce oxidation and other reactions, and protect the product. In specific use or other situations, the outer packaging needs to be removed in an environment with acceptable air composition. Currently, most unpacking is done manually or semi-manually. This method has high labor costs, and workers obviously cannot work for extended periods in environments with specific air compositions. Often, isolation mechanisms or breathing apparatus are required, or even manual operation of machines is necessary to achieve unpacking, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a product unpacking, film removal, and packaging system.
[0004] To achieve the innovative objectives of this invention, the following technical solutions can be used:
[0005] A product unpacking and packaging system includes a sealed working chamber. A worktable is located within the sealed working chamber, and a feeding mechanism is located at the front end of the chamber. This feeding mechanism transports products from the feeding position outside the sealed working chamber, after oxygen extraction and ventilation, to a preparation position within the sealed working chamber. The worktable is sequentially equipped with: a shell removal mechanism, located at the shell removal station, for cutting the outer shell and separating the outer shell from the inner core of the packaging film; a film removal mechanism, located at the film removal station, for peeling off the film from the inner core; a discharge mechanism, located at the discharge station, for picking up the shelled and film-removed products and placing them into a packaging box; and a transfer mechanism, for transferring products from the preparation position, shell removal station, and film removal station to the next working position.
[0006] This invention is particularly suitable for the automated unpacking and decapsulation of rare earth magnetic products, followed by the packing and output of the inner core products. It boasts a high degree of automation and mechanization. The sealed working chamber forms a relatively sealed working space, within which the main mechanisms of the device are primarily located. The unpacking and packing operations also take place within this sealed working chamber, preventing the rare earth magnetic products from reacting with oxygen-rich air after unpacking, thus avoiding any impact on product quality. A workbench is located within this sealed working chamber, with a preparation station, a decapsulation station, a decapsulation station, and a discharge station arranged sequentially. A feeding mechanism is used to input the products to be unpacked from the outside into the preparation station within the sealed working chamber. This feeding process involves oxygen extraction and ventilation to ensure the sealing operation is successful. The oxygen concentration in the indoor air is maintained at a preset low level; the shelling mechanism at the shelling station is used to cut open the product shell; the film removal mechanism at the film removal station is used to remove the film covering the inner core taken out from the shell; the discharge mechanism at the discharge station is used to pack the unpacked products into packaging boxes to realize product output; the shelling mechanism, film removal mechanism and discharge mechanism are set up in sequence, and the transfer mechanism transfers the products from each station to the next station, forming a production line-style processing with high work efficiency. Moreover, the transfer mechanism can transfer products from the preparation station, shelling station and film removal station at the same time, with high transfer efficiency.
[0007] In the above-mentioned product unpacking and packaging system, the feeding mechanism includes a transition chamber with oxygen extraction and ventilation function connected to the sealed working chamber. The transition chamber is provided with a first conveyor belt assembly, a second conveyor belt assembly, and a third conveyor belt assembly that are connected end to end. The first conveyor belt assembly has a feeding position, the third conveyor belt assembly has a preparation position, and the third conveyor belt is flush with the worktable.
[0008] Three sets of conveyor belt assemblies are set at the front, middle and rear of the transition chamber. The first conveyor belt assembly is used to transport products from the outside into the transition chamber, that is, to the second conveyor belt assembly. After the transition chamber is ventilated by oxygen extraction, the second conveyor belt assembly transports the products to the third conveyor belt assembly in the sealed working chamber. The third conveyor belt assembly is used to transport the products to the preparation position of the workbench, waiting to be transferred by the transfer mechanism. The feeding process has a high degree of automation and mechanization. While continuously and stably feeding, it ensures that the oxygen concentration of the air in the sealed working chamber is maintained within a qualified range.
[0009] In the aforementioned product unpacking, de-wrapping, and packing system, a feed door is slidably connected to the outer opening of the transition chamber, and a discharge door is slidably connected to the inner opening. The feed door and discharge door are driven by a switch-driven structure to lift and lower. The transition chamber is equipped with an oxygen extraction and ventilation assembly and an air detection assembly. At least one of the discharge door and feed door is closed, and the discharge door opens when the air detection assembly detects that the air quality meets the standards. A visual recognition assembly for identifying product position is also provided above the third conveyor belt assembly.
[0010] The discharge and inlet doors are used to seal the outer and inner openings of the transition chamber. At least one of the discharge and inlet doors is closed to prevent direct communication between the sealed working chamber and the outside. When the product is transported into the transition chamber, the discharge and inlet doors are closed simultaneously. The oxygen extraction and ventilation system extracts oxygen from the air in the transition chamber, and the air detection system detects the oxygen content level in the air. Only after the air level meets the standard is the discharge door opened to allow the product to enter, ensuring the stability of the oxygen concentration in the sealed working chamber and preventing the product from being oxidized after unpacking. The visual recognition system is set in the preparation position to visually detect the position of the product, facilitating accurate grasping by the transfer mechanism.
[0011] As an optimization, the feed gate moves up and down in the gap between the first conveyor belt assembly and the second conveyor belt assembly, and the discharge gate moves up and down in the gap between the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly.
[0012] The first, second, and third conveyor belt assemblies are connected end to end in sequence, but there is a certain gap between them. The width of the gap is slightly larger than the thickness of the feed gate and the discharge gate, so as to ensure the smooth lifting and lowering of the feed gate and the discharge gate without affecting the normal conveying of the products.
[0013] In the above-mentioned product unpacking and packaging system, the shell removal mechanism includes a hydraulic punch assembly, and a Π-shaped punch block is provided on the output end of the hydraulic punch assembly. The Π-shaped punch block is located above the shell removal station and is used to cut off three sides of the product shell. The shell removal mechanism also includes a first suction cup assembly disposed on the side of the shell removal station for lifting the upper shell and a second suction cup assembly disposed on the worktable for holding the lower shell.
[0014] The Π-shaped stamping block is located on the output end of the hydraulic press assembly and is driven to lift and lower by the hydraulic press assembly. The Π-shaped stamping block is located above the shell removal station and presses the shell of the product with high pressure to cut off the upper and lower shells. Since the working end of the Π-shaped stamping block is Π-shaped, which is equivalent to a rectangle with one side missing, one side is still connected after the shell is cut. At this time, the second suction cup assembly adsorbs the lower shell onto the worktable, and the first suction cup assembly rotates down to suck up the upper shell. By flipping upward, the upper shell is opened. After the upper shell is opened, the inner core is exposed, which facilitates the transfer mechanism to transfer to subsequent processes.
[0015] In the aforementioned product unpacking and packaging system, the first suction cup assembly is mounted on a suction cup mounting plate, which is hinged to the worktable. Controlled by a first rotation drive structure, the first suction cup assembly rotates forward to adsorb the upper outer shell, and after adsorption, flips backward to lift the upper outer shell and expose the inner core. The second suction cup assembly is mounted on a flipping plate, which is rotatably connected to the worktable. Driven by a second rotation drive structure, the plate rotates to be flush with the worktable to form a shell removal station, or flips downward to discharge the outer shell from below. A shell collection compartment is located below the flipping plate.
[0016] A suction cup mounting plate is rotatably connected to the worktable, on which a first suction cup assembly is mounted. A first rotation drive structure drives the suction cup mounting plate to rotate, allowing it to rotate forward to a horizontal position. This allows the first suction cup assembly to contact and adhere to the upper outer shell. After adhesion, the suction cup mounting plate, through the first suction cup assembly, flips the upper outer shell backward, effectively lifting it open. A shell removal station is located on a flipping plate surface, which is rotatably connected to the worktable. A second rotation drive structure maintains the flipping plate surface horizontally or rotates it downwards to discharge waste shell material. When the flipping plate surface is horizontal, its upper surface is flush with the worktable surface, ensuring smooth product transfer. A shell collection bin is located below the flipping plate surface to collect waste shell material. The shell removal mechanism has the functions of cutting open the shell, lifting the shell, and discharging waste shell material, exhibiting a high degree of automation.
[0017] As an optimization, the first rotation drive structure includes a tilting cylinder, the cylinder body of which is hinged to the worktable, and its output end is hinged to the back of the suction cup mounting plate.
[0018] In the aforementioned product unpacking and packaging system, the film removal mechanism includes a vertically arranged suction cup mounting rod, a third suction cup assembly located at the lower end of the suction cup mounting rod, and a fourth suction cup assembly located on the side of the suction cup mounting rod. A film-tearing joint is formed between the third and fourth suction cup assemblies to precisely accommodate the product. A retraction structure is provided between the fourth suction cup assembly and the suction cup mounting rod, allowing the fourth suction cup assembly to open outwards and tear the film when the third suction cup assembly is pressed upwards into the suction cup mounting rod. The suction cup mounting rod is fixed to the output end of a linear actuator, which is laterally movable within a sealed working chamber via a transverse drive structure.
[0019] The suction cup mounting rod is located above the film removal station and is positioned on the output end of the linear actuator. The extension and retraction of the linear actuator's output end allows the suction cup mounting rod to move up and down, enabling the third and fourth suction cup components to move closer to or further away from the product. After the suction cup mounting rod descends, the film-tearing docking point aligns with the top and periphery of the product. The retraction structure is used to retract or expand the fourth suction cup component. Since the products to be removed are often square, four sets of fourth suction cup components are evenly distributed circumferentially on the suction cup mounting rod to ensure the film-tearing docking point matches the product shape. Under normal conditions, the fourth suction cup component is closed, with its working end contacting and adsorbing the film on the side. As the suction cup mounting rod continues to descend, the third suction cup component is pressed upwards by the product. The retraction structure causes the fourth suction cup component to expand outwards, tearing the film on the side. Then, with the retraction of the linear actuator's output end and the lateral movement of the linear actuator driven by the lateral movement structure, the third and fourth suction cup components successfully tear off the film.
[0020] As an optimization, the lateral movement drive structure includes two sets of intersecting first lateral movement drive components and second lateral movement drive components. The first lateral movement drive component includes a first slide rail horizontally fixed to the sealed chamber and a first slider slidably connected to the first slide rail. A slide rail mounting plate for mounting the second lateral movement drive component is fixed below the first slider. A first lead screw drive component for driving the slide rail mounting plate to move horizontally is provided between the slide rail mounting plate and the sealed chamber. The second lateral movement drive component includes a second slide rail fixed to the lower side of the slide rail mounting plate and a second slider sliding on the second slide rail. A driver mounting plate is fixed to the lower side of the second slider. A second lead screw drive component for driving the driver mounting plate to move horizontally is provided between the driver mounting plate and the slide rail mounting plate. The driver is fixed to the linear driver mounting plate.
[0021] As an improvement, a film collection bin is provided on the rear side below the film removal station. The film can be directly placed into this collection bin after it is torn off.
[0022] In the aforementioned product unpacking and packaging system, the unfolding structure includes a slider slidably connected to the cylindrical inner hole of the suction cup mounting rod and an L-shaped mounting component hinged at the upper end to the side of the suction cup mounting rod; the lower end of the L-shaped mounting component is provided with the fourth suction cup assembly, and the middle of the L-shaped mounting component is hinged with a transmission rod; the transmission rod passes through a strip-shaped travel limiting hole and is hinged to the slider, and the travel limiting hole radially penetrates the side wall of the suction cup mounting rod to limit the lifting and lowering travel range of the slider; when the slider is at its lowest position, the third suction cup assembly and the fourth suction cup assembly form a film-tearing docking position that is adapted to the product size; the third suction cup assembly is inserted into the cylindrical inner hole and connected to the lower end of the slider; the film-removal station is also provided with a roller assembly for facilitating the extraction of the film pressed under the inner core.
[0023] The suction cup mounting rod has an axially formed cylindrical inner hole, which can be either a through hole or a blind hole, but at least the lower end is open. A slider and a rod-shaped third suction cup assembly are slidably connected within this cylindrical inner hole. The third suction cup assembly is connected below the slider and moves up and down synchronously. The functional end of the lower part of the third suction cup assembly is exposed. An L-shaped mounting piece is hinged to the suction cup mounting rod, and its middle part is connected to the slider via a transmission rod. The slider's lifting and lowering movements are synchronized with the rotation of the L-shaped mounting piece. A stroke limit hole is used to limit the slider's lifting and lowering range. Under gravity alone, the slider is at its lowest position, and simultaneously, the L-shaped mounting piece rotates to its lowest point, causing all the fourth suction cup assemblies to close. The third suction cup assembly is also at its lowest position. At this point, the film-tearing joint between the third and fourth suction cup assemblies is perfectly adapted to the shape and size of the product. When the suction cup mounting rod descends to the point where the third suction cup assembly just contacts the top of the product, the fourth suction cup assembly is located on the outside of the film on the side of the product, with a very small gap, which facilitates the adhesion and engagement of the fourth suction cup assembly and the film. As the suction cup mounting rod continues to descend, the third suction cup assembly is pressed upward, the slider moves upward, the slider pulls the L-shaped mounting piece to rotate upward, and the fourth suction cup assembly opens outward, achieving the effect of tearing the side wall film. Moreover, with the product on the roller assembly, the film pressed on the lower side of the inner core is easier to pull out.
[0024] In the above-mentioned product unpacking and packaging system, the discharge mechanism includes a vision inspection component fixed in the sealed chamber and a robotic arm component set on the worktable. The vision inspection component is located above the discharge station and is used to detect the position of the inner core and the status of shell and film removal. The robotic arm component is used to grab the processed inner core and transfer it into the packaging box.
[0025] The material discharge structure mainly uses a robotic arm component to grasp and transfer materials. The vision inspection component is used to detect the unpacking status and specific location of the unpacked products, so that the robotic arm component can accurately grasp and place them into the corresponding packaging boxes.
[0026] In the aforementioned product unpacking, decoction, and packing system, the transfer mechanism includes a strip transfer plate located above the workbench. Its side has three sets of mating teeth corresponding to the preparation position, the depacking position, and the decoction position, respectively. Each set of mating teeth includes two parallel teeth, forming a mating position with a width adapted to the product width at the corresponding position. Between the strip transfer plate and the workbench is an in-and-out drive structure for moving the strip transfer plate closer to or away from the product, limiting or releasing the mating position from the product's mating position, and a transfer drive structure for moving the strip transfer plate between positions to transfer the product to the next position.
[0027] The strip transfer plate has mating teeth on its side, similar to the shape of a comb. Each set of mating teeth has two parallel teeth, forming a mating position for engaging with the product. The in-and-out drive structure drives the strip transfer plate to translate vertically along its length. When the strip transfer plate moves toward the product, the teeth move to both sides of the product. The transfer drive structure drives the strip transfer plate to translate along its length, and this direction of movement is also consistent with the direction of the line connecting each station, used to move the product on the worktable to the next station. When the strip transfer plate moves, each set of mating teeth moves one product, resulting in high transfer efficiency.
[0028] In the above-mentioned product unpacking and packaging system, the sealing chamber is provided with a packaging box inlet and outlet on the front and back sides respectively. The packaging box is placed between the two packaging box inlets and outlets. Each packaging box inlet and outlet is provided with at least two opening and closing doors. The opening and closing doors are rotatably connected to the sealing chamber in a left-right opening and closing and up-down opening and closing manner respectively.
[0029] The packaging box has two inlets and outlets for putting in or taking out the packaging box. Each packaging box has two doors on its inlet and outlet. When the packaging box is put in, as one door is opened, the other door can be quickly closed, which helps to control the oxygen concentration in the sealed working chamber.
[0030] As an explanation, the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly, the third conveyor belt assembly, the switch drive structure, the oxygen extraction and ventilation assembly, the air detection assembly, the vision recognition assembly, the hydraulic punch assembly, the first suction cup assembly, the second suction cup assembly, the third suction cup assembly, the fourth suction cup assembly, the second rotation drive structure, the roller assembly, the robotic arm assembly, the entry and exit drive structure, the transfer drive structure, the vision detection assembly, and the door opening and closing configuration are all common knowledge and existing technologies, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0032] 1. This invention is particularly suitable for the automatic unpacking and decapsulation of rare earth magnetic products, followed by packaging and output of the inner core products. It boasts a high degree of automation and mechanization. The sealed working chamber forms a relatively sealed working space, within which the main mechanisms of the device are primarily located. The unpacking and packaging operations also take place within this sealed working chamber, preventing the rare earth magnetic products from reacting with oxygen-rich air after unpacking, thus avoiding any impact on product quality. A workbench is located within this sealed working chamber, with a preparation station, a decapsulation station, a decapsulation station, and a discharge station arranged sequentially. A feeding mechanism is used to input the products to be unpacked from the outside into the preparation station within the sealed working chamber. This feeding function involves oxygen extraction and ventilation during the feeding process to ensure the sealing operation is successful. The oxygen concentration in the indoor air is maintained at a preset low level; the shelling mechanism at the shelling station is used to cut open the product shell; the film removal mechanism at the film removal station is used to remove the film covering the inner core taken out from the shell; the discharge mechanism at the discharge station is used to pack the unpacked products into packaging boxes to realize product output; the shelling mechanism, film removal mechanism and discharge mechanism are set up in sequence, and the transfer mechanism transfers the products from each station to the next station, forming a production line-style processing with high work efficiency. Moreover, the transfer mechanism can transfer products from the preparation station, shelling station and film removal station at the same time, with high transfer efficiency.
[0033] 2. The discharge door and the inlet door are used to seal the outer and inner openings of the transition chamber. At least one of the discharge door and the inlet door is closed to prevent direct communication between the sealed working chamber and the outside. When the product is transported into the transition chamber, the discharge door and the inlet door are closed at the same time. The oxygen extraction and ventilation component extracts oxygen from the air in the transition chamber. The air detection component detects the oxygen content level of the air in the transition chamber. Only after the air level meets the standard is the discharge door opened to allow the product to enter. This ensures the stability of the oxygen concentration in the sealed working chamber and prevents the product from being oxidized after unpacking.
[0034] 3. The Π-shaped stamping block is located on the output end of the hydraulic press assembly and is driven by the hydraulic press assembly to lift and lower. The Π-shaped stamping block presses the outer shell of the product with high pressure, cutting off the upper and lower outer shells. After the outer shell is cut, one side is still connected. At this time, the second suction cup assembly adsorbs the lower outer shell onto the worktable, and the first suction cup assembly rotates down to hold the upper outer shell. By flipping upward, the upper outer shell is opened. After the upper outer shell is opened, the inner core is exposed, which facilitates the transfer mechanism to transfer the load to the subsequent workpiece.
[0035] 4. A suction cup mounting plate is rotatably connected to the worktable, on which a first suction cup assembly is mounted. A first rotation drive structure drives the suction cup mounting plate to rotate, allowing it to rotate forward to a horizontal position. This allows the first suction cup assembly to contact and adhere to the upper outer shell. After adhesion, the suction cup mounting plate, through the first suction cup assembly, flips the upper outer shell backward, effectively lifting it open. The shell removal station is located on the flipping plate surface, which is rotatably connected to the worktable. A second rotation drive structure maintains the flipping plate surface horizontally or rotates it downward to discharge waste shell material. When the flipping plate surface is horizontal, its upper surface is flush with the worktable surface, ensuring smooth product transfer. A shell collection bin is located below the flipping plate surface to collect waste shell material. The shell removal mechanism has the functions of cutting open the shell, lifting the shell, and discharging waste shell material, exhibiting a high degree of automation.
[0036] 5. A slider and a rod-shaped third suction cup assembly are slidably connected in the suction cup mounting rod. The third suction cup assembly and the slider move up and down synchronously. An L-shaped mounting piece is hinged to the suction cup mounting rod, and its middle part is connected to the slider through a transmission rod. The slider's lifting and lowering motion is synchronized with the rotation of the L-shaped mounting piece. A stroke limit hole is used to limit the slider's lifting and lowering range. Under gravity alone, the slider is at its lowest position, and at the same time, the L-shaped mounting piece rotates to its lowest point, and all the fourth suction cup assemblies are in a closed state. The third suction cup assembly is also at its lowest position. At this time, the tear between the third and fourth suction cup assemblies is minimal. The membrane mating position is perfectly adapted to the shape and size of the product; when the suction cup mounting rod descends to the point where the third suction cup assembly just contacts the top of the product, the fourth suction cup assembly is located on the outside of the film on the side of the product with a very small gap, which facilitates the adhesion and engagement of the fourth suction cup assembly and the film; as the suction cup mounting rod continues to descend, the third suction cup assembly is pressed upward, the slider moves upward, the slider pulls the L-shaped mounting piece to rotate upward, and the fourth suction cup assembly opens outward, achieving the effect of tearing the side wall film. Moreover, with the product on the roller assembly, the film pressed on the lower side of the inner core is easier to pull out.
[0037] 6. The packaging box has two inlets and outlets for putting in or taking out the packaging box. Each packaging box has two doors on its inlet and outlet. When the packaging box is put in, as one door is opened, the other door can be quickly closed, which helps to control the oxygen concentration in the sealed working chamber.

[0047] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0048] Specific implementation examples Figure 1-8As shown, the product unpacking and packaging system includes a sealed chamber 1, a workbench 11 inside the sealed chamber 1, and a feeding mechanism 2 at the front end of the sealed chamber 1. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to transport the product from the feeding position 12 outside the sealed chamber 1 to the preparation position 13 inside the sealed chamber 1 after oxygen extraction and ventilation treatment. The workbench 11 is equipped with the following components in sequence: a shell removal mechanism 3, located at the shell removal station 14, used to cut the shell and separate the shell from the inner core of the film; a film removal mechanism 4, located at the film removal station 15, used to peel off the film from the inner core; a discharge mechanism 6, located at the discharge station 16, used to pick up the shelled and film-removed product and put it into the packaging box 63; and a transfer mechanism 7, used to transfer the products from the preparation position 13, the shell removal station 14, and the film removal station 15 to the next working position.
[0049] Specifically, this invention is applicable to the automated unpacking and decapsulation of rare earth magnetic products, followed by the packing and output of the inner core products. It boasts a high degree of automation and mechanization. The sealed working chamber 1 forms a relatively sealed working space, within which the main mechanisms of the device are primarily located. The unpacking and packing operations are also performed within the sealed working chamber 1, preventing the rare earth magnetic products from reacting with oxygen-rich air after unpacking, thus avoiding any impact on product quality. A workbench 11 is located within the sealed working chamber 1, on which are sequentially arranged a preparation station 13, a shell removal station 14, a decapsulation station 15, and a discharge station 16. The feeding mechanism 2 is used to input the products to be unpacked from the outside into the preparation station 13 within the sealed working chamber 1. It has a feeding function, and during the feeding process, oxygen extraction and ventilation are performed to ensure the safety of the sealed working chamber 1. The oxygen concentration in the internal air is maintained at a preset low level; the shelling mechanism 3 at the shelling station 14 is used to cut open the product shell; the film removal mechanism 4 at the film removal station 15 is used to remove the film covering the inner core taken out from the shell; the discharge mechanism 6 at the discharge station 16 is used to pack the unpacked product into the packaging box 63 to realize product output; the shelling mechanism 3, the film removal mechanism 4 and the discharge mechanism 6 are arranged in sequence, and the transfer mechanism 7 transfers the products of each station to the next station, forming a production line-style processing with high work efficiency. Moreover, the transfer mechanism 7 can transfer the products of the preparation station 13, the shelling station 14 and the film removal station 15 at the same time, with high transfer efficiency.
[0050] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 5, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a transition chamber 21 with oxygen extraction and ventilation function connected to the sealed working chamber 1. A first conveyor belt assembly 22, a second conveyor belt assembly 23, and a third conveyor belt assembly 24 are respectively arranged at the front, middle, and rear of the transition chamber 21, connected end-to-end. A feeding position 12 is formed on the first conveyor belt assembly 22, and a preparation position 13 is formed on the third conveyor belt assembly 24. The third conveyor belt and the worktable 11 are flush. A feed door 25 is slidably connected to the outer opening of the transition chamber 21, and a discharge door 26 is slidably connected to the inner opening. The feed door 25 and the discharge door 26 are driven by a switch-driven mechanism to lift and lower. An oxygen extraction and ventilation assembly and an air detection assembly are provided inside the transition chamber 21. At least one of the discharge door 26 and the feed door 25 is closed. The discharge door 26 opens when the air detection assembly detects that the air quality meets the standards. A visual recognition assembly 27 for identifying the product position is also provided above the third conveyor belt assembly 24.
[0051] Specifically, three sets of conveyor belt assemblies are set at the front, middle and rear of the transition chamber 21. The first conveyor belt assembly 22 is used to transport products from the outside into the transition chamber 21, that is, to the second conveyor belt assembly 23. After the transition chamber 21 is ventilated by oxygen extraction, the second conveyor belt assembly transports the products to the third conveyor belt assembly in the sealed chamber 1. The third conveyor belt assembly is used to transport the products to the preparation position 13 of the workbench 11, waiting to be transferred by the transfer mechanism 7. The feeding process has a high degree of automation and mechanization. While continuously and stably feeding, it ensures that the oxygen concentration of the air in the sealed chamber 1 is maintained within the qualified range. The discharge door 26 and the inlet door 25 are used to seal the outer and inner openings of the transition chamber 21. At least one of the discharge door 26 and the inlet door 25 is closed to prevent direct communication between the sealed chamber 1 and the outside world. When the product is transported into the transition chamber 21, the discharge door 26 and the inlet door 25 are closed at the same time. The oxygen extraction and ventilation component extracts oxygen from the air in the transition chamber 21. The air detection component detects the oxygen content level of the air in the transition chamber 21. Only after the air level meets the standard is the discharge door 26 opened to allow the product to enter, ensuring the stability of the oxygen concentration in the sealed chamber 1 and preventing the product from being oxidized after unpacking. The visual recognition component 27 is set on the preparation position 13 for visually detecting the position of the product, which facilitates the accurate grasping of the transfer mechanism 7.
[0052] As an optimization of this embodiment, the feed gate 25 moves up and down in the gap between the first conveyor belt assembly 22 and the second conveyor belt assembly 23, and the discharge gate 26 moves up and down in the gap between the second conveyor belt assembly 23 and the third conveyor belt assembly 24. The first conveyor belt assembly 22, the second conveyor belt assembly 23, and the third conveyor belt assembly 24 are connected end to end in sequence, but there is a certain gap between them. The width of the gap is slightly larger than the thickness of the feed gate 25 and the discharge gate 26, so as to ensure that the feed gate 25 and the discharge gate 26 can move up and down smoothly without affecting the normal conveying of products.
[0053] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the shell removal mechanism 3 includes a hydraulic punch assembly 31. A Π-shaped punch block 32 is provided on the output end of the hydraulic punch assembly 31. The Π-shaped punch block 32 is located above the shell removal station 14 and is used to cut off three sides of the product shell. The shell removal mechanism 3 also includes a first suction cup assembly 33 disposed on the side of the shell removal station 14 for lifting the upper shell and a second suction cup assembly disposed on the worktable 11 for holding the lower shell. The first suction cup assembly 33 is mounted on the suction cup mounting plate 35, which is hinged to the worktable 11. Controlled by the first rotation drive structure 39, the first suction cup assembly 33 rotates forward to adsorb the upper outer shell, and after adsorption, flips backward to lift the upper outer shell and expose the inner core. The second suction cup assembly is mounted on the flipping plate surface 36, which is rotatably connected to the worktable 11. Driven by the second rotation drive structure, the second plate rotates to be flush with the worktable 11 to form the shell removal station 14, or flips downward to discharge the shell from below. A shell collection chamber 37 is provided below the flipping plate surface 36. The first rotation drive structure 39 includes a flipping cylinder 38, the cylinder body of which is hinged to the worktable 11, and its output end is hinged to the back of the suction cup mounting plate 35.
[0054] Specifically, the Π-shaped stamping block 32 is located on the output end of the hydraulic press assembly 31 and is driven by the hydraulic press assembly 31 to lift and lower. The Π-shaped stamping block 32 is located above the shell removal station 14 and presses the shell of the product with high pressure to cut off the upper and lower shells. Since the working end of the Π-shaped stamping block 32 is Π-shaped, which is equivalent to a rectangle with one side missing, one side is still connected after the shell is cut. At this time, the second suction cup assembly adsorbs the lower shell onto the worktable 11, and the first suction cup assembly 33 rotates down to suck up the upper shell. The upper shell is opened by flipping upward. After the upper shell is opened, the inner core is exposed, which facilitates the transfer mechanism 7 to transfer to the subsequent workpiece. A suction cup mounting plate 35 is rotatably connected to the worktable 11, and a first suction cup assembly 33 is mounted on it. A first rotation drive structure 39 drives the suction cup mounting plate 35 to rotate, allowing it to rotate forward to a horizontal position. This allows the first suction cup assembly 33 to contact and adhere to the upper outer shell. After adhesion, the suction cup mounting plate 35, through the first suction cup assembly 33, flips the upper outer shell backward, effectively lifting it open. A shell removal station 14 is located on a flipping plate 36, which is rotatably connected to the worktable 11. A second rotation drive structure is used to maintain the flipping plate 36 in a horizontal state or to rotate it downward to discharge waste shell material. When the flipping plate 36 is horizontal, its upper surface is flush with the worktable 11, ensuring smooth product transfer. A shell collection chamber 37 is located below the flipping plate 36 to collect waste shell material. The shell removal mechanism 3 has the functions of cutting open the shell, lifting the shell, and discharging waste shell material, exhibiting a high degree of automation.
[0055] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 5 and 7, the film removal mechanism 4 includes a vertically arranged suction cup mounting rod 41, a third suction cup assembly 42 disposed at the lower end of the suction cup mounting rod 41, and a fourth suction cup assembly 43 disposed on the side of the suction cup mounting rod 41. A film-tearing docking position 45 is formed between the third suction cup assembly 42 and the fourth suction cup assembly 43, which can just accommodate the product. A retraction structure 44 is provided between the fourth suction cup assembly 43 and the suction cup mounting rod 41, which allows the fourth suction cup assembly 43 to open outward and tear the film when the third suction cup assembly 42 is pressed upward into the suction cup mounting rod 41. The suction cup mounting rod 41 is fixed to the output end of the linear actuator 46, which can be laterally moved within the sealed working chamber 1 via the transverse movement drive structure 56. A film collection chamber 49 is provided on the rear side below the film removal station 15. The retractable structure 44 includes a slider 53 slidably connected to the cylindrical inner hole 50 of the suction cup mounting rod 41 and an L-shaped mounting member 51 with its upper end hinged to the side of the suction cup mounting rod 41; a fourth suction cup assembly 43 is provided at the lower end of the L-shaped mounting member 51, and a transmission rod 52 is hinged to the middle of the L-shaped mounting member 51; the transmission rod passes through a strip-shaped stroke limiting hole 54 and is hinged to the slider 53, and the stroke limiting hole 54 radially penetrates the side wall of the suction cup mounting rod 41 to limit the lifting stroke range of the slider 53; when the slider 53 is at its lowest position, the third suction cup assembly 42 and the fourth suction cup assembly 43 form a film-tearing docking position 45 that is adapted to the size of the product; the third suction cup assembly 42 is inserted into the cylindrical inner hole 50 and connected to the lower end of the slider 53; the film-removing station 15 is also provided with a roller assembly 55 for facilitating the extraction of the film pressed under the inner core.
[0056] Specifically, the suction cup mounting rod 41 is located above the film removal station 15 and is positioned on the output end of the linear actuator 46. The extension and retraction of the output end of the linear actuator 46 allows the suction cup mounting rod 41 to move up and down, thus enabling the third suction cup assembly 42 and the fourth suction cup assembly 43 to move closer to or further away from the product. After the suction cup mounting rod 41 descends, the film-tearing docking position 45 engages with the top and periphery of the product. The retraction structure 44 is used to retract or expand the fourth suction cup assembly 43. The product to be de-filmed is square; to ensure the film-tearing docking position 45 conforms to the product shape, the fourth suction cup... Four sets of components 43 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the suction cup mounting rod 41. In normal operation, the fourth suction cup component 43 is closed, with its working end contacting and adhering to the film on its side. As the suction cup mounting rod 41 continues to descend, the third suction cup component 42 is pressed upwards by the product. The retraction structure 44 causes the fourth suction cup component 43 to open outwards, tearing the film on its side. Then, with the retraction of the output end of the linear actuator 46 and the lateral movement drive structure 56 driving the linear actuator 46 to move laterally, the third and fourth suction cup components 42 and 43 successfully tear off the film. The torn film can then be directly placed in the film collection chamber 49.
[0057] Regarding the retraction structure 44, the suction cup mounting rod 41 has an axially formed cylindrical inner hole 50. This cylindrical inner hole 50 is a through hole, in which a slider 53 and a rod-shaped third suction cup assembly 42 are slidably connected. The third suction cup assembly 42 is connected below the slider 53, and its lifting and lowering are synchronized. The lower working end of the third suction cup assembly 42 is exposed. The L-shaped mounting piece 51 is hinged to the suction cup mounting rod 41, and its middle part is connected to the slider 53 through a transmission rod 52. The lifting and lowering of the slider 53 is synchronized with the rotation of the L-shaped mounting piece 51. The stroke limit hole 54 is used to limit the lifting and lowering range of the slider. Under the action of gravity alone, the slider 53 is in the lowest position, and at the same time, the L-shaped mounting piece 51 rotates to the lowest end, and all the fourth suction cup assemblies 43 are in a closed state. The three suction cup assembly 42 is also at its lowest position. At this time, the film-tearing docking position 45 between the third suction cup assembly 42 and the fourth suction cup assembly 43 is exactly adapted to the shape and size of the product. When the suction cup mounting rod 41 descends to the point where the third suction cup assembly 42 just contacts the upper end of the product, the fourth suction cup assembly 43 is located on the outside of the film on the side of the product, and the gap is very small, which facilitates the adsorption and cooperation between the fourth suction cup assembly 43 and the film. As the suction cup mounting rod 41 continues to descend, the third suction cup assembly 42 is pressed upward, the slider 53 moves upward, the slider 53 pulls the L-shaped mounting piece 51 to rotate upward, and the fourth suction cup assembly 43 opens outward, achieving the effect of tearing the side wall film. Moreover, the product is located on the roller assembly 55, and the film pressed on the lower side of the inner core is easier to be pulled out.
[0058] In this embodiment, the transverse drive structure 56 includes two sets of cross-arranged first transverse drive components 47 and second transverse drive components 48. The first transverse drive component 47 includes a first slide rail horizontally fixed to the sealing chamber 1 and a first slider slidably connected to the first slide rail. A slide rail mounting plate for mounting the second transverse drive component 48 is fixed below the first slider. A first screw drive component for driving the slide rail mounting plate to move horizontally is provided between the slide rail mounting plate and the sealing chamber 1. The second transverse drive component 48 includes a second slide rail fixed to the lower side of the slide rail mounting plate and a second slider sliding on the second slide rail. A driver mounting plate is fixed to the lower side of the second slider. A second screw drive component for driving the driver mounting plate to move horizontally is provided between the driver mounting plate and the slide rail mounting plate. The driver is fixed to the linear driver mounting plate.
[0059] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the discharge mechanism 6 includes a vision inspection component 61 fixed in the sealed chamber and a robot arm component 62 set on the worktable. The vision inspection component 61 is located above the discharge station 16 and is used to detect the position of the inner core and the status of shell removal and film removal. The robot arm component 62 is used to grab the processed inner core and transfer it to the packaging box 63.
[0060] Specifically, the material discharge structure mainly achieves the gripping and transfer function through the robotic arm component 62, and the vision inspection component 61 is used to detect the unpacking completion status and specific position of the unpacked product, so that the robotic arm component 62 can accurately grip and place it into the corresponding packaging box 63.
[0061] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the transfer mechanism 7 includes a strip transfer plate 71 located above the workbench 11. The strip transfer plate 71 has three sets of mating teeth 72 on its side, which correspond to the preparation position 13, the shell removal position 14, and the film removal position 15, respectively. Each set of mating teeth 72 includes two parallel teeth 73, and a mating position 74 with a width adapted to the width of the product at the corresponding position is formed between the teeth 73. An in-and-out drive structure is provided between the strip transfer plate 71 and the workbench 11 for driving the strip transfer plate 71 to move closer to or away from the product so that the mating position 74 is mated with or released from the product, and a transfer drive structure is provided for driving the strip transfer plate 71 to move between each position to transfer the product to the next position.
[0062] Specifically, the strip transfer plate 71 has mating teeth 72 on its side, similar to the shape of a comb. Each set of mating teeth 72 has two parallel teeth 73, and the two teeth 73 form a mating position 74 for mating with the product. The in-and-out drive structure is used to drive the strip transfer plate 71 to translate vertically along its length. When the strip transfer plate 71 moves toward the product, the teeth 73 move to both sides of the product. The transfer drive structure is used to drive the strip transfer plate 71 to translate along its length, and this direction of movement is also consistent with the direction of the line connecting each station, so as to move the product on the worktable 11 to the next station. When the strip transfer plate 71 moves, each set of mating teeth 72 moves one product, resulting in high transfer efficiency.
[0063] As an optimization of this embodiment, a packaging box inlet / outlet 17 is provided on the front and rear sides of the sealing chamber 1, and the packaging box 63 is placed between the two packaging box inlets / outlets 17. Each packaging box inlet / outlet 17 is provided with at least two opening / closing doors 18, which are rotatably connected to the sealing chamber 1 in a left-right opening and up-down opening manner.
[0064] Specifically, the packaging box inlet / outlet 17 has two openings / closings for inserting or removing the packaging box 63. Each packaging box inlet / outlet 17 has two opening / closing doors 18. When the packaging box 63 is inserted, as one opening / closing door 18 is opened, the other opening / closing door 18 can be quickly closed, which helps to control the oxygen concentration of the air in the sealed working chamber 1.
[0065] For illustrative purposes, the switch drive structure, oxygen extraction and ventilation assembly, air detection assembly, second rotation drive structure, entry and exit drive structure, and transfer drive structure are not shown in the figure; the window on the side of the sealed chamber 1 in the figure can be sealed with transparent glass to facilitate observation of the internal situation; the opening and closing state of the switch door 18 is only shown for illustration.
[0066] Specific working principle: During operation, packaged products are placed on the loading position 12 of the first conveyor belt assembly 22. At this time, the discharge gate 26 is closed and the feed gate 25 is opened. The first conveyor belt assembly 22 conveys the products to the second conveyor belt assembly 23 in the transition chamber 21. Then, the feed gate 25 closes, the oxygen extraction and ventilation assembly operates, and the oxygen concentration in the transition chamber 21 is adjusted. After the air detection assembly detects that the oxygen concentration meets the standard, the oxygen extraction and ventilation assembly stops working, the discharge gate 26 opens, and the second conveyor belt assembly 23 conveys the products to the third conveyor belt assembly 24. The discharge gate 26 closes. The third conveyor belt assembly 24 transfers the products to the preparation position 13 of the workbench 11, completing the loading.
[0067] The strip transfer plate 71 extends and moves to the front and rear sides of the product with the teeth 72 to limit the movement. After the limiting is completed, the strip transfer plate 71 moves laterally to move the product to the shell removal station 14. During the shell removal operation, the second suction cup assembly adsorbs the product onto the flipping plate surface 36. The output end of the hydraulic punch assembly 31 extends, and the Π-shaped punch block 32 squeezes the product shell, cutting off the three-sided connection between the upper and lower shells. Then, the flipping cylinder 38 drives the suction cup mounting plate 35 to flip downwards to a horizontal position. The first suction cup assembly 33 on the flipping mounting plate adsorbs the upper shell. Subsequently, the flipping cylinder 38 reverses its action, lifting the upper shell and exposing the product core. The strip transfer plate 71 transfers the core product to the film removal station 15. After the core product is removed, the first suction cup assembly 33 and the second suction cup assembly release their adsorption, the flipping plate surface 36 flips downwards, and the shell waste falls into the shell collection bin 37.
[0068] The core product begins the film removal operation at the film removal station 15. The lateral drive structure 56 adjusts the linear actuator 46 to be directly above the film removal station 15, and the output end of the linear actuator 46 extends. When the suction cup mounting rod 41 descends until the third suction cup assembly 42 just contacts the upper surface of the product, the fourth suction cup assembly 43 is located on the outside of the film on the side of the product with a very small gap, and the fourth suction cup assembly 43 and the film adhere to each other. As the suction cup mounting rod 41 continues to descend, the third suction cup assembly 42 is pressed upward, the slider 53 moves upward, and the slider 53 pulls the L-shaped mounting piece 51 to rotate upward through the transmission rod 52. The fourth suction cup assembly 43 opens outward, tearing the side wall film. At the same time, the lateral drive structure 56 drives the linear actuator 46 to move laterally, and the output end of the linear actuator 46 retracts. The film is completely torn off. After tearing, the linear actuator 46 moves above the film collection chamber 49, the third suction cup assembly 42 and the fourth suction cup assembly 43 release their adsorption, and the film falls into the film collection chamber 49. The strip transfer plate 71 then transfers the de-filmed core to the discharge station 16.
[0069] The inner core is identified by the vision inspection component 61 at the unpacking station 16, and the robot arm component 62 picks up the inner core according to the unpacking status and moves it into the corresponding packaging box 63, thus completing the entire unpacking, de-wrapping and boxing operation of the product.
