Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bamboo strip production, and in particular to a bamboo strip orderly sorting production line and its production method. Background Technology

[0002] Bamboo plywood production requires similar color to be found on the same board. Because the greener side is harder and more wear-resistant, the finished bamboo board must have the greener side facing outwards. Therefore, the greener and yellower sides of bamboo strips in the same layer must face the same direction. Currently, common bamboo strip production lines on the market mainly have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Traditional production enterprises must rely on manpower to inspect and color-match bamboo strips from all four sides, judging them according to the color, size of defects, and shape of the bamboo strips. Good products with similar color are arranged and marked with the green side facing the same direction. After counting the quantity, they are bundled, which requires a lot of manpower.

[0004] 2. Although the existing equipment separates good and defective products, it still requires manual labor to extract the good bamboo strips that have been sorted by color, sort them, count the number, and then bundle them. The mechanization of orderly and quantitative material collection has not yet been solved. Summary of the Invention

[0177] The supporting component 334 and the limiting component 333 are respectively installed on the two sides of the first mounting plate 335, and the supporting component 334 is located on the side of the first mounting plate 335 near the material storage channel.

[0178] The limiting component 333 includes a ratchet 3331, a pawl 3335, a first rotating shaft 3332, a second rotating shaft 3336, a first support rod 3334, a first tension spring 3333, and a first limiting wheel seat 3337;

[0179] The first rotating shaft 3332 is mounted on the first mounting plate 335, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 3332 extend to both sides of the first mounting plate 335.

[0180] Ratchet 3331 is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 3332;

[0181] One end of the pawl 3335 is connected to the ratchet 3331, and the other end of the pawl 3335 is connected to the first mounting plate 335 via the second rotating shaft 3336.

[0182] The first limiting wheel seat 3337 is fixed on the second rotating shaft 3336;

[0183] The first support rod 3334 is mounted on the first mounting plate 335;

[0184] One end of the first tension spring 3333 is connected to the first support rod 3334, and the other end of the first tension spring 3333 is connected to the pawl 3335.

[0185] When the first limit wheel seat 3337 is subjected to pressure in the direction of ratchet 3331, it will drive the second rotating shaft 3336 to rotate, causing the pawl 3335 to separate from the ratchet 3331. When the external force disappears, the pawl 3335 will engage with the ratchet 3331.

[0186] The supporting component 334 includes a material supporting arm 3341, a pull rod 3342, a second support rod 3344, a second tension spring 3343, and a second limiting wheel seat 3345;

[0187] The material support arm 3341 has an L-shaped structure design, with one end of the horizontal part of the material support arm 3341 connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 3332 away from the ratchet 3331;

[0188] The second support rod 3344 is mounted on the first mounting plate 335;

[0189] The pull rod 3342 is fixedly installed at the bend of the material support arm 3341;

[0190] One end of the second tension spring 3343 is connected to the second support rod 3344, and the other end of the second tension spring 3343 is connected to the pull rod 3342. Under the action of the second tension spring 3343, the vertical part of the material support arm 3341 remains vertical, and the pull rod 3342 is attached to one side of the first mounting plate 335.

[0191] The second limiting wheel seat 3345 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal part of the material support arm 3341. When the second limiting wheel seat 3345 is subjected to upward pressure, it will drive the material support arm 3341 to rotate. When the external force disappears, the first rotating shaft 3332 is restricted by the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet 3331 and the tension of the second tension spring 3343, and the material support arm 3341 will remain in the position where the force disappears.

[0192] The upper limit block 332 and the lower limit block 336 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the storage bin 31. When the piston of the second cylinder 331 retracts to the highest position, the first limit wheel seat 3337 contacts the upper limit block 332. When the piston of the second cylinder 331 extends downward to the lowest position, the second limit wheel seat 3345 contacts the lower limit block 336.

[0193] In use, when the first mounting plate 335 descends to its lowest position, the second limiting wheel seat 3345 of the supporting component 334 touches the lower limiting block 336, causing the material-supporting arm 3341 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the material-supporting arm 3341 automatically rotates to a horizontal state at the bottom. When the first mounting plate 335 moves upward to reset, the material-supporting arm 3341 enters the storage chamber and lifts the stacked bamboo pieces in the storage chamber. As the first mounting plate 335 rises, the stacked bamboo pieces in the lower storage chamber can enter the upper storage chamber, realizing the collection of bamboo pieces in the two storage chambers. When the first mounting plate 335 rises to its highest position, under the action of the limiting component 333, the material-supporting arm 3341 rotates to reset and remains in a downward vertical state. This application realizes material picking, transfer and release by using a reciprocating cylinder as a power element, which can quickly collect bamboo pieces in the two storage chambers together, which is conducive to cooperating with the material picking mechanism 4 to achieve rapid material picking without the need for the production line to stop running, greatly improving the production efficiency of bamboo pieces.

[0194] In this embodiment, the limiting component 32 includes a limiting claw 321, a limiting rod 324, an extension plate 322, and a third tension spring 323;

[0195] Two sets of limiting claws 321 are provided, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the material storage channel;

[0196] The limiting claw body 321 has an L-shaped structure. The top end of the vertical part of the limiting claw body 321 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the storage bin 31. The bottom of the horizontal part of the limiting claw body 321 is provided with an inclined surface. When two sets of limiting claw bodies 321 are connected, the inclined surfaces on the two limiting claw bodies 321 form a herringbone shape.

[0197] Extension plate 322 is installed at the top end of the vertical part of the limiting claw body 321;

[0198] One end of the third tension spring 323 is connected to the extension plate 322, and the other end of the third tension spring 323 is connected to the storage bin 31. Under the action of the third tension spring 323, the claw body deflects towards the storage channel.

[0199] The limiting rod 324 is fixed on the surface of the storage bin 31. The limiting claw body 321 has a positioning hole corresponding to the limiting rod 324. Under the action of the limiting rod 324 and the third tension spring 323, the horizontal part of the claw body remains horizontal.

[0200] As the stacked bamboo strips move upward from the bottom of the storage channel into the storage chamber, the bamboo strips push the limiting claws 321 on both sides outward until the bamboo strips enter the storage chamber. After the stacked bamboo strips have completely entered the storage chamber, the limiting claws 321 are reset under the action of the third tension spring 323, so that the stacked bamboo strips can enter the storage chamber upward but will not fall downward.

[0201] refer to Figures 11 to 14 In this embodiment, the material handling mechanism 4 includes a first lifting component 41, a first moving component 43, and a clamping component 42;

[0202] The clamping component 42 is installed on the lifting end of the first lifting component 41 and is used to clamp stacked bamboo strips.

[0203] The first lifting assembly 41 includes a single-shaft cylinder 411, a housing 412, a connecting belt 417, a guide wheel 416, a pressure wheel 415, a tensioning spindle 414, a spring box 413, and a spiral spring.

[0204] The housing 412 is fixed to the piston rod of the single-shaft cylinder 411;

[0205] The tensioning mandrel 414 is installed inside the housing 412, and one end of the tensioning mandrel 414 extends outside the housing 412 and is connected to the inner ring of the spiral spring.

[0206] The outer ring of the spiral spring is fixed to the spring box 413;

[0207] Spring box 413 is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer wall of housing 412;

[0208] Guide wheel 416 is mounted on tension mandrel 414;

[0209] The connecting belt 417 is installed on the guide wheel 416. One end of the connecting belt 417 is fixed, and the other end of the connecting belt 417 is connected to the material handling mechanism 4.

[0210] The pressure roller 415 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 412 and is located above the guide roller 416, which restricts the connecting belt 417 to the guide roller 416;

[0211] The moving end of the first moving component 43 is connected to the first lifting component 41 and is used to move the bamboo strips on the collecting mechanism 3 to the flipping mechanism 5.

[0212] In use, the piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 411 moves to its lowest position, and the gripping component 42 moves downward until it contacts the stacked bamboo strips. It is then supported by the stacked bamboo strips. Therefore, although the piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 411 continues to move downward, the material-grabbing component automatically stops moving downward. The gripping component 42 grips the stacked bamboo strips, and in conjunction with the first moving component 43, adaptive material grabbing for bamboo strips of different stack heights is achieved. When the gripping component 42 begins to fall and touches the top of the stacked bamboo strips at the bottom, both sides of the connecting belt 417 are taut. When the piston of the single-axis cylinder 411 descends to its lowest position, the connecting belt 417... Both sides will be in a relaxed state. At this time, the piston of the single-axis cylinder 411 may be at risk of self-spinning. In this application, the preload of the spiral spring is transmitted to the guide wheel 416 through the tensioning spindle 414. When the connecting belt 417 is relaxed on one side of the clamping assembly 42, it will drive the guide wheel 416 to rotate in the opposite direction, pulling the connecting belt 417 on one side of the clamping assembly 42 into the other side. The reaction force of the taut connecting belt 417 on one side of the clamping assembly 42 can prevent the piston rod from self-spinning. Therefore, the connecting belt 417 on one side of the clamping assembly 42 can always be kept taut, avoiding the problem of the connecting belt 417 getting tangled.

[0213] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 42 includes a second mounting plate 426, a sliding block 423, a guide rail 422, a track plate 421, a gripper 425, and a three-axis cylinder 424.

[0214] A guide rail 422 is installed on the back of the track plate 421, and the bottom of the track plate 421 is connected to the free end of the connecting belt 417;

[0215] The sliding block 423 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 422 and fixed on the second mounting plate 426;

[0216] The second mounting plate 426 is fixedly installed;

[0217] The three-axis cylinder 424 is mounted on the surface of the track plate 421;

[0218] The gripper 425 is mounted on the piston rod of the three-axis cylinder 424. After the gripper 425 retracts with the three-axis cylinder 424, it fixes the stacked bamboo pieces between the gripper 425 and the track plate 421.

[0219] The lifting end of the first lifting component 41 can drive the track plate 421 to move up and down along the guide rail 422. When the bottom of the three-axis cylinder 424 contacts the surface of the stacked bamboo strips, the gripper 425 is driven to retract by the three-axis cylinder 424 to fix the stacked bamboo strips between the gripper 425 and the track plate 421, thus realizing the clamping process of the stacked bamboo strips.

[0220] refer to Figures 15 to 16In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 5 includes a rotating component 51, a clamping component 52, and a transmission component 53;

[0221] Two sets of clamping components 52 are provided, spaced apart on the rotating end of the rotating component 51;

[0222] The transmission component 53 is located below the clamping component 52. The transmission component 53 includes a frame 532, a transmission roller 531, a drive wheel 535, a driven wheel 536, a third cylinder 534, and a fixing plate 533.

[0223] The transfer rollers 531 are rotatably mounted on the frame 532 at equal intervals;

[0224] The drive wheel 535 is mounted on the frame 532 and is positioned between adjacent transfer rollers 531;

[0225] Driven wheel 536 is positioned opposite to drive wheel 535 and is mounted on fixed plate 533;

[0226] The third cylinder 534 is located on one side of the frame 532 and is connected to the fixed plate 533 via a piston rod;

[0227] In use, after the clamping component 52 clamps the stacked bamboo strips, it rotates downwards by 90° under the drive of the rotating component 51, so that the stacked bamboo strips are above the conveying roller 531. The clamping component 52 releases the clamp on the stacked bamboo strips, so that the stacked bamboo strips fall onto the conveying roller 531. The driven wheel 536 is driven by the third cylinder 534 to move towards the driving wheel 535, and the stacked bamboo strips are clamped again. Under the rotation of the driving wheel 535, the stacked bamboo strips are conveyed. This application can realize the orderly rotation of 90° to lay down the stacked bamboo strips, which is beneficial for subsequent bundling.

[0229] The lifting control terminal of the second lifting component 61 is connected to the gripping component 63;

[0233] The longitudinal slider 633 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal guide rail 634;

[0234] The horizontal guide rail 636 is mounted on the horizontal portion of the L-shaped vertical plate 631.

[0235] The horizontal slider 638 is slidably mounted on the horizontal guide rail 636;

[0236] The fourth cylinder 632 is mounted on the L-shaped vertical plate 631 and is connected to the longitudinal slider 633 through the piston rod;

[0237] One end of the connecting rod 635 is rotatably connected to the longitudinal slider 633, and the other end of the connecting rod 635 is rotatably connected to the transverse slider 638.

[0238] The movable claw 637 is fixed to the surface of the transverse slider 638;

[0239] The fixed claw 639 is disposed on the bent surface of the L-shaped vertical plate 631 and is disposed opposite to the movable claw 637;

[0240] In use, the gripping component 63 moves the second lifting component 61 to the side of the conveyor belt 8. The moving claw 637 of the gripping component 63 opens and closes. The second lifting component 61 drives the gripping component 63 to descend to the lowest point. The gripping component 63 lands on the bundled bamboo strips. The moving claw 637 retracts and clamps the bamboo strips. Then, the second lifting component 61 drives the gripping component 63 to rise. The gripping component 63 lifts the bamboo strips. In conjunction with the second moving component 62, the second lifting component 61 moves the second lifting component 61 to the top of the material pile. The second lifting component 61 drives the gripping component 63 to descend. The bundled bamboo strips land on the top of the material pile. Then, the moving claw 637 opens and closes, and the bundled bamboo strips are released from the adaptive clamping mechanism, completing one flexible stacking cycle. Then, the second lifting component 61 resets and waits for the next cycle to achieve orderly stacking.

[0241] A production method for an ordered bamboo strip sorting production line includes the following steps:

[0242] S1: Install a visual inspection instrument at the discharge port of the precision planer 11 to identify the color depth and defects on the four sides of the bamboo strips, and mark the bamboo strips according to the visual category;

[0243] S2: Keep the green and yellow sides of the bamboo strips in an orderly manner and push them flat to the side;

[0244] S3: Based on the marking results of the bamboo strips, ensure that the green and yellow sides of the bamboo strips face the same direction and enter the corresponding storage bin 31;

[0245] S4: The storage bin 31 is equipped with two storage chambers, one at the bottom and one at the top. The bottom storage chamber serves as a buffer for the bamboo strips, while the top storage chamber allows for the storage of bamboo strips in a fixed quantity.

[0246] S5: The stacked bamboo strips in a fixed quantity are taken out from the top storage chamber by the material taking mechanism 4 and transferred to the flipping mechanism 5;

[0247] S6: The flipping mechanism 5 rotates the stacked bamboo strips 90 degrees to facilitate their bundling and conveys them to the bundling machine 7;

[0248] S7: After the bamboo strips are bundled by the bundling machine 7, they are stacked by the stacking mechanism 6.

[0249] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0250] The feeding mechanism 1 keeps the bamboo strips neat and orderly, maintaining the orientation of the green and yellow sides, and gradually pushes them to the side into the transferring mechanism 2. The transferring mechanism 2 automates the transferring and collecting of bamboo strips after feeding, ensuring that the green and yellow sides of the bamboo strips face the same and enter the corresponding storage bin 31. The collecting mechanism 3 can quickly gather the bamboo strips in the two storage bins together, which is beneficial for cooperating with the picking mechanism 4 to achieve rapid picking. The picking mechanism 4 moves the bamboo strips in the storage bins to the turning mechanism 5, which stacks the bamboo strips. The bamboo strips are rotated 90 degrees to facilitate bundling and are then conveyed to the bundling machine 7. After being bundled by the bundling machine 7, the bamboo strips are stacked and discharged through the stacking mechanism 6. This application can sort and transfer bamboo strips of various types according to production needs at high speed, so that the bamboo strips maintain the same orientation during the sorting process, creating conditions for subsequent orderly material collection. It can also achieve orderly quantitative material collection of bamboo strips of different specifications without disordering the orientation. It can orderly quantitatively collect and bundle flexible material from a variety of specifications of thin, long, and flat curved bamboo strips according to production needs.
