Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying and arranging equipment for packaged products, and more specifically, to a conveying and arranging equipment for powder packaged products and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing and production of powder strip packages, multi-row strip packaging equipment is generally used to package the powder material. Multiple strip packages after slitting are transferred as a group. Subsequently, the strip package products are further arranged and conveyed by conveying and arranging equipment for subsequent packaging.

[0003] However, in actual production, multi-row packaging equipment may experience insufficient powder material or even empty packages during the packaging process. Furthermore, the current sorting and conveying equipment does not have weight detection capabilities, allowing substandard products to enter the downstream boxed products and flow into the market. As a result, the overall product quality is substandard, which will also have a negative impact on the brand. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pushing structure includes a push base and multiple pushing mechanisms. The push base is mounted on the slider of the second linear slide. The pushing mechanism includes a second pushing member, a second support bar, an electromagnet, and a columnar locking bar. The second support bar is mounted between the bottoms of two second brackets, and the second pushing member is slidably mounted on the second support bar. The top of the second pushing member is provided with a locking position for mounting the electromagnet and the locking bar. The bottom surface of the push base is adjacent to the top surface of the second pushing member, and the bottom surface of the push base is provided with multiple first insertion holes corresponding to the locking bar. The bottom surface of the locking bar is provided with a magnet. When energized, the electromagnet and the magnet have the same magnetism, pushing the locking bar upward and inserting it into the first insertion hole, so that the corresponding second pushing member moves with the push base to push the corresponding packaged product.

[0013] One end of the spring abuts against the second bracket, and the other end abuts against the second pusher, for the second pusher to return to the position of abutting the retaining ring, so that the second pusher is located on the outside of the second conveyor belt away from the first conveyor belt.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method of using a powder strip conveying and arranging device, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1, the external multi-row strip packaging equipment sends the slit strip packaging products to the first conveyor belt, and the first conveyor belt moves the strip packaging products to the position of the corresponding weighing device;

[0016] S2, the first transfer device delivers the strip-packaged products from the first conveyor belt to the weighing device in a preset quantity; the weighing device weighs the strip-packaged products and marks the location information corresponding to the unqualified products; the first transfer device pushes the weighed strip-packaged products onto the second conveyor belt, and then resets the first conveyor belt to the side away from the weighing device.

[0017] S3, the second conveyor belt drives the strip packaged products forward. When the second conveyor belt moves to the point where the corresponding weighing device's conveying positions are all empty, the first transfer device continues to push the next set of strip packaged products that have passed the weighing test to the second conveyor belt.

[0018] S4, the second transfer device pushes the qualified packaged products that have been moved into the pushing range onto the third conveyor belt;

[0019] If the products within the push range include priced but defective products, a replenishment action will be triggered. The second transfer device first pushes the qualified products to the third conveyor belt, while the defective products remain on the second conveyor belt, leaving the corresponding conveyor slot on the third conveyor belt empty. Then, the second transfer device and the second conveyor belt coordinate to move the subsequent packaged products forward to fill the gap, and push the corresponding packaged products to the empty slot on the third conveyor belt, thus achieving replenishment.

[0020] S5, the third conveyor belt transports the fully arranged strip-packaged products to the third transfer device, and the third transfer device delivers the strip-packaged products in a preset quantity to the next processing equipment.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] This invention provides a powder strip pack conveying and arranging device, comprising a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a third conveyor belt, a weighing device, a first transfer device, a second transfer device, and a third transfer device; the first, second, and third conveyor belts are parallel to each other and arranged sequentially along the width direction of the conveyor belts; the weighing device is located between the first and second conveyor belts; the first transfer device spans above the first conveyor belt, the weighing device, and the second conveyor belt, and is used to push the strip pack products on the first conveyor belt to the weighing device and the second conveyor belt; the weighing device weighs and detects the strip pack products, and marks the positions of defective products;

[0023] The second transfer device spans above the second and third conveyor belts and can push corresponding parts according to actual needs. This allows qualified packaged products on the second conveyor belt to be pushed onto the third conveyor belt, while unqualified products remain on the second conveyor belt, achieving separation. Subsequent packaged products can then be added to the third conveyor belt to achieve the required arrangement quantity and effect.

[0024] The third transfer device spans above the third conveyor belt and is used to deliver the arranged strip packages of products.

[0025] The present invention also provides a method of using a powder strip pack conveying and arranging device. When the weighing device detects a defective product, it will trigger a corresponding replenishment action, which can effectively replenish the empty parts after separation, so that they are conveyed in the required arrangement order for subsequent transfer and downstream processing.

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a powder strip pack conveying and arranging device, including a first conveyor belt 110, a second conveyor belt 120, a third conveyor belt 130, a weighing device 200, a first transfer device 300, a second transfer device 500, and a third transfer device 400; the first conveyor belt 110, the second conveyor belt 120, and the third conveyor belt 130 are parallel to each other and arranged sequentially along the width direction of the conveyor belts; the weighing device 200 is located between the first conveyor belt 110 and the second conveyor belt 120; the first transfer device 300... The first conveyor belt 110, the weighing device 200, and the second conveyor belt 120 are spanned above each other, and the second conveyor belt 500 is used to push the strip-packaged products on the first conveyor belt to the weighing device and the second conveyor belt; the second transfer device 500 spans above the second conveyor belt 120 and the third conveyor belt 130, and is used to push the qualified strip-packaged products on the second conveyor belt to the third conveyor belt, and to replenish and arrange the strip-packaged products to the required quantity; the third transfer device 400 spans above the third conveyor belt 130, and is used to send out the arranged strip-packaged products.

[0049] Furthermore, it also includes infrared sensors for monitoring and sensing, used to monitor the distance of the controlled transfer and the position of the packaged products; and a control system for coordinated control, with all electrical components connected to the control system to achieve coordinated movement; mainly, the packaged products are weighed by a weighing device, the control system processes the feedback signal, marks the position of unqualified packaged products, and synchronizes the marking signal to the second conveyor belt so that the subsequent second transfer device can push them accordingly; the control system can use common electrical control structures such as integrated electrical control boxes, PLC control cabinets, and control panels, and infrared sensors are also common monitoring and sensing elements that can be purchased and used on the market. The specific structure and electrical connection layout will not be described in detail.

[0050] The aforementioned powder strip pack conveying and arranging equipment includes a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a third conveyor belt, a weighing device, a first transfer device, a second transfer device, and a third transfer device. The first, second, and third conveyor belts are parallel to each other and arranged sequentially along the width direction of the conveyor belts. The weighing device is located between the first and second conveyor belts. The first transfer device spans above the first conveyor belt, the weighing device, and the second conveyor belt, and is used to push the strip pack products on the first conveyor belt to the weighing device and the second conveyor belt. The weighing device weighs and detects the strip pack products, and marks the positions of defective products.

[0051] The second transfer device spans above the second and third conveyor belts and can push corresponding parts according to actual needs. This allows qualified packaged products on the second conveyor belt to be pushed onto the third conveyor belt, while unqualified products remain on the second conveyor belt, achieving separation. Subsequent packaged products can then be added to the third conveyor belt to achieve the required arrangement quantity and effect.

[0052] The third transfer device spans above the third conveyor belt and is used to deliver the arranged strip packages of products.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the weighing device 200 includes a tray 210. The top surface of the tray 210 is provided with multiple partitions 220, which form multiple weighing positions 230 at intervals. These weighing positions correspond to the conveying positions of the first and second conveyor belts. Weighing sensors 240 are installed on the bottom surface of each weighing position 230, and a support plate 250 is mounted on the top surface of each weighing sensor 240. Both ends of the support plate extend to the outer side of the weighing position and are close to the edges of the first and second conveyor belts, effectively reducing the gap and preventing products from falling. The top surface of the support plate is flush with the surface of the first and second conveyor belts to facilitate the transfer of packaged products between the first conveyor belt, the weighing device, and the second conveyor belt. Furthermore, the tray is mounted between the support frames of the first and second conveyor belts, utilizing their structures for support, making the overall structure more compact and reducing the need for external support components.

[0054] In addition, two load cells are installed at each weighing position to provide stable support for the pallet and prevent it from tilting to one side. This allows for effective weighing and detection of packaged products and facilitates product transfer.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the first transfer device 300 includes a first hanger 310, a first linear slide 320, and a first pusher 330. The first hanger is installed on the frame, and the first linear slide 320 is installed at the bottom of the first hanger 310, spanning above the first conveyor belt, the weighing device, and the second conveyor belt. The first pusher 330 is installed on the slider of the first linear slide 320. Multiple first push plates 331 are fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the first pusher 330. The position of the first push plate corresponds to the position of the weighing clamp and the shape is adapted. There is a gap between the bottom surface of the first push plate and the top surface of the pallet, and the gap is less than 2mm. The first pusher can be moved by the first linear slide to push and transfer multiple strip products in the same group, so that the products move synchronously. The structure of the third transfer device 400 is the same as that of the first transfer device 300, and the working principle is also the same. It can push the products away from the third conveyor belt.

[0056] Furthermore, multiple first support bars 340 are installed between the bottoms of the two first hangers. The first push plate is provided with multiple first guide holes corresponding to the first support bars. The first push plate slides along the first support bars through the first guide holes, further limiting the movement of the first pusher and ensuring effective pushing of the product.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 8As shown, the second transfer device 500 includes a second bracket 510, a second linear slide 520, and a pushing structure 530. The second bracket is mounted on the frame, and the second linear slide 520 is mounted at the bottom of the second bracket 510, spanning above the second conveyor belt and the first conveyor belt. The pushing structure 530 is mounted on the slider of the second linear slide 520 and includes multiple second pushing components 710. The second linear slide 520 can match and drive the corresponding number and position of the second pushing components 710 to move, pushing qualified strip products to the third conveyor belt 130. It can push the corresponding qualified products according to actual needs, and not push unqualified products, thereby achieving separation. In addition, it can also push according to replenishment needs to achieve replenishment.

[0058] Furthermore, the jacking structure 530 includes a pusher 600 and multiple jacking mechanisms 700, with the pusher 600 mounted on the slider of the second linear slide 520; as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the pushing mechanism 700 includes a second pushing member 710, a second support bar 720, an electromagnet 730, and a columnar locking bar 740. The second support bar 720 is mounted between the bottoms of two second brackets 510, and the second pushing member 710 is slidably mounted on the second support bar 720. The top of the second pushing member is provided with a locking position for mounting the electromagnet and the locking bar. The bottom surface of the push base is close to the top surface of the second pushing member, with a distance of 0.5mm to 1mm. The bottom surface of the push base 600 is provided with multiple first insertion holes 610 corresponding to the locking bar.

[0059] The bottom surface of the clip 740 is equipped with a magnet. When energized, the electromagnet 730 has the same magnetism as the magnet, which lifts the clip 740 upward and inserts it into the first insertion hole 610. This causes the corresponding second pusher to move with the pusher base, pushing the corresponding packaged product. When the electromagnet is de-energized, the clip falls downward and detaches from the first insertion hole. The corresponding second pusher detaches from the pusher base, achieving separation. Even if the pusher base moves, it will not move the second pusher. The above structure makes each pusher mechanism an independent structural component, which can be matched and matched according to needs to drive the corresponding second pusher to move. This can realize the action of pushing qualified products and not pushing unqualified products, and can also meet the needs of pushing qualified products separately for supplementation. Furthermore, the second frame is a square strip structure, which limits the movement of the second pusher to only along the length of the second frame, preventing rotation or offset problems and ensuring accurate subsequent alignment.

[0060] Furthermore, the second pusher 710 includes a support block 711, with a second push plate 712 fixedly mounted on one end of the bottom surface of the support block 711. The position of the second push plate corresponds to the position of the conveyor clamp and is shaped to fit the pallet. A gap of less than 2mm is left between the bottom surface of the second push plate and the surface of the second conveyor belt. A second guide hole 713 is provided in the middle of the support block 711, through which the support block 711 is slidably mounted on the second frame bar 720. A groove 714 is provided on the top surface of the support block 711, and two opposing pieces are provided on the outer side of the groove 714. The upright plate 715 has a pad 716 installed between the two upright plates 715. The top surface of the pad 716 is flush with the top surface of the upright plate 715. The pad 716 has a second insertion hole 717 that penetrates the upper and lower walls of the groove 714. The electromagnet 430 is installed in the groove 714, and the locking strip 740 is located in the second insertion hole 717. After the electromagnet is energized, the locking strip is pushed out of the top surface of the pad, and the protrusion height is at least 1 / 3 of the depth of the first insertion hole to ensure sufficient insertion depth so that the second pushing member can effectively cooperate with the push base and drive the second pushing member to move.

[0061] Furthermore, a support block is provided with two recesses for installing two electromagnets, and a pad is provided with two corresponding second insertion holes. The bottom surface of the push base is provided with two first insertion holes corresponding to a second push member. A second push member cooperates with the push base through two locking strips to ensure effective linkage and drive the corresponding second push member to move effectively.

[0062] Furthermore, the top surface of the support block is provided with a wire groove that runs through the two recesses, with at least one end extending beyond the outer side of the recesses for energizing and controlling the electromagnet. It should also be noted that the electromagnet is energized via a telescopic wire connected to an external electrical control system, maintaining the necessary power and control without affecting the movement of the second jacking component. Additionally, the pad is a detachable structure, facilitating the exposure of the recess holes for connecting the electromagnet and wiring, thus simplifying installation.

[0063] Furthermore, the top edge of the card strip is chamfered, and the bottom end of the first socket is chamfered, which facilitates the card strip entering and exiting the first socket and makes it easier to make the required connection and fit.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 10As shown, a spring 750 is sleeved on the second frame 720, and a retaining ring 721 is fixedly mounted on the second frame 720. The second pusher is slidably sleeved on the second frame, and the second pusher 710 is located between the spring 750 and the retaining ring 721. One end of the spring 750 abuts against the second hanger 510, and the other end abuts against the second pusher 710, which is used to reset the second pusher to the position abutting against the retaining ring, so that the second pusher is located on the outer side of the second conveyor belt away from the first conveyor belt. This structural design ensures that the second pusher is reset to a fixed position. Only the second linear slide needs to be limited to move the slide block to the preset position to complete the alignment, ensuring that the card can accurately enter and exit the first insertion hole and achieve the required connection. On the other hand, after the second linear slide moves the second pusher to push the product into place, the corresponding electromagnet can be de-energized, the card falls down and disengages from the push block, and the corresponding second pusher is reset under the action of the spring. Only one-way power is required, and no power is required for the return trip, which can reduce power consumption to a certain extent.

[0065] This invention also discloses a method of using a powder strip conveying and arranging device, comprising the following steps:

[0066] S1, the external multi-row strip packaging equipment sends the slit strip packaging products to the first conveyor belt, and the first conveyor belt moves the strip packaging products to the position of the corresponding weighing device;

[0067] S2, the first transfer device delivers the strip-packaged products from the first conveyor belt to the weighing device in a preset quantity; the weighing device weighs the strip-packaged products and marks the location information corresponding to the unqualified products; the first transfer device pushes the weighed strip-packaged products onto the second conveyor belt, and then resets the first conveyor belt to the side away from the weighing device.

[0068] S3, the second conveyor belt drives the strip packaged products forward. When the second conveyor belt moves to the point where the corresponding weighing device's conveying positions are all empty, the first transfer device continues to push the next set of strip packaged products that have passed the weighing test to the second conveyor belt.

[0069] S4, the second transfer device pushes the qualified packaged products that have been moved into the pushing range onto the third conveyor belt;

[0070] If the products within the push range include priced but defective products, a replenishment action will be triggered. The second transfer device first pushes the qualified products to the third conveyor belt, while the defective products remain on the second conveyor belt, leaving the corresponding conveyor slot on the third conveyor belt empty. Then, the second transfer device and the second conveyor belt coordinate to move the subsequent packaged products forward to fill the gap, and push the corresponding packaged products to the empty slot on the third conveyor belt, thus achieving replenishment.

[0071] S5, the third conveyor belt transports the fully arranged strip packaged products to the third transfer device, and the third transfer device sends the strip packaged products to the next processing equipment in a preset quantity.

[0072] More specifically, after the replenishment action is triggered, the second transfer device first pushes the qualified products to the third conveyor belt, while the unqualified products remain at the second conveyor belt, and the third conveyor belt leaves an empty slot for the unqualified products; then, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that the subsequent strip products move forward to fill the gap, so that the first qualified strip product corresponds to the first empty slot downstream, and the second transfer device pushes this strip product to the empty slot until the replenishment is complete;

[0073] like Figures 11-14 As shown, five packages of products are pushed and weighed as a group (Group A: five packages A1-A5, Group B: five packages B1-B5, Group D: five packages D1-D5, Group E: five packages E1-E5); In step S4, after the material replenishment action is triggered, the second transfer device and the second conveyor belt coordinate to perform replenishment and material replenishment actions; Specifically, the following embodiments are used to illustrate several replenishment and material replenishment scenarios;

[0074] like Figure 11 As shown in Example 1, if A1 and A2 are detected as defective products, and all subsequent products are qualified products; A1-A5 move to the pushing range of the second transfer device, and the second transfer device pushes A3-A5 onto the third conveyor belt, leaving an empty slot on the third conveyor belt; then, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B1 corresponds to the first empty slot, and the second transfer device pushes B1 onto the third conveyor belt; after that, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B2 (at this time belonging to the first position) corresponds to the next empty slot (at this time belonging to the first empty slot), and the second transfer device pushes B2 onto the third conveyor belt, completing the material replenishment;

[0075] like Figure 12 As shown in Example 2, if A2 and A4 are detected as defective products, and all subsequent products are qualified products; A1-A5 move to the pushing range of the second transfer device, and the second transfer device pushes A1, A3, and A5 onto the third conveyor belt, leaving empty slots on the third conveyor belt; then, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B1 corresponds to the first empty slot, and the second transfer device pushes B1 onto the third conveyor belt; after that, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B2 (now the first one) corresponds to the next empty slot (now the first empty slot), and the second transfer device pushes B2 onto the third conveyor belt, completing the material replenishment;

[0076] like Figure 13As shown in Example 3, if A2, A4, and B1 are detected as defective products, and all subsequent products are qualified products; A1-A5 move to the pushing range of the second transfer device, and the second transfer device pushes A1, A3, and A5 onto the third conveyor belt, leaving an empty slot on the third conveyor belt; then, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B2 corresponds to the first empty slot, and the second transfer device pushes B2 onto the third conveyor belt; after that, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B3 (now the first one) corresponds to the next empty slot (now the first empty slot), and the second transfer device pushes B3 onto the third conveyor belt, completing the material replenishment;

[0077] like Figure 14 As shown in Example 4, if A2, A4, and B2 are detected as defective products, and all subsequent products are qualified products; A1-A5 move to the pushing range of the second transfer device, and the second transfer device pushes A1, A3, and A5 onto the third conveyor belt, leaving empty slots on the third conveyor belt; then, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B1 corresponds to the first empty slot, and the second transfer device pushes B1 onto the third conveyor belt; after that, the second conveyor belt continues to move forward, so that B3 (now the first one) corresponds to the next empty slot (now the first empty slot), and the second transfer device pushes B3 onto the third conveyor belt, completing the material replenishment;

[0078] It should be noted that after the replenishment is completed, the second conveyor belt moves forward, so that the five strips of products in the front position fall into the pushing range of the second transfer device, restoring them to the normal arrangement order, so that the second transfer device can push a group of products to the third conveyor belt at a time until the next replenishment action is triggered.

[0079] Furthermore, as the second conveyor belt moves forward, when all the corresponding weighing device's conveying positions are empty, the first transfer device will push the next set of weighed and inspected strip products onto the second conveyor belt for continuous replenishment. It should also be noted that the above embodiments only list some of the centralized replenishment situations, not all of them, but other replenishment situations also follow the above steps and methods, and will not be listed or elaborated further.

[0080] This invention has been described through preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein; other embodiments falling within the scope of the claims are also within the protection scope of this invention.
