[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 13 This embodiment provides a product bagging device, which includes a feeding mechanism 1, a transfer mechanism 2, and a bagging mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a first conveyor belt 11 and a first pusher plate 12. The first conveyor belt 11 is configured to convey a stack of products. It is understood that in this embodiment, the first conveyor belt 11 conveys bagged products. The transfer mechanism 2 includes a platform 21 and a first drive member 22. A first baffle 212 is installed on the bearing surface 211 of the platform 21. The first drive member 22 is configured to drive the platform 21 to rotate, so that the platform 21 has a bearing surface 212. The platform 21 is positioned at a first working position on a horizontal plane, and the bearing surface 211 is positioned at a second working position on a vertical plane. When the platform 21 is in the second working position, the first baffle 212 is flush with the first conveyor belt 11, and the first pusher 12 can push a stack of products from the first conveyor belt 11 onto the first baffle 212, thereby supplying a stack of products to the transfer mechanism 2. Then, the first drive member 22 drives the platform 21 to rotate from the second working position to the first working position, thereby laying down the stack of products. At this time, the stack of products is placed on the bearing surface 211 of the platform 21, thus meeting the requirements for subsequent bagging. The bagging mechanism 3 includes a mouth-opening module and a second pusher 32. The mouth-opening module is configured to open the bag opening of the storage bag, and the second pusher 32 is configured to push a stack of products from the platform 21 in the first working position into the storage bag, thereby completing the bagging.
[0051] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the storage bag is a gift bag. Since the opening of the storage bag is relatively small, in order to put a stack of products into the storage bag at the same time, the stack of products needs to be placed in the storage bag in a horizontal stacked manner. However, for the convenience of transportation, the stack of products is generally placed on the first conveyor belt 11 in a vertical stacked manner. Based on this, a transfer mechanism 2 is provided in this embodiment, so that the posture of the stack of products can be adjusted during the transfer of the stack of products, so that they can be sent into the storage bag together.
[0052] Based on the above, in this embodiment, a stack of products is conveyed by the first conveyor belt 11, and the stack of products is adjusted by the transfer mechanism 2 to a position suitable for simultaneous entry into the storage bag. In addition, in this embodiment, the opening of the storage bag is opened by the opening support module, and the stack of products is simultaneously pushed into the storage bag by the second pusher plate 32, thereby completing the automatic bagging of products. The whole process does not require manual intervention, has high efficiency, and can meet the requirements of automated production.
[0053] It is understood that the first driving component 22 can be selected as a driving structure such as a servo motor or a stepper motor, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on it.
[0054] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the opening module includes a first suction nozzle 311 and a second suction nozzle 312 arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The first suction nozzle 311 and the second suction nozzle 312 can respectively suck up the upper and lower layers of the storage bag, and the first suction nozzle 311 and the second suction nozzle 312 can move in opposite directions in the vertical direction to open the opening of the storage bag. In addition, the opening module also includes a first support plate 313 and a second support plate 314. The first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction, and the first support plate 313 can rotate to the side away from the second support plate 314, and the second support plate 314 can rotate to the side away from the first support plate 313, so that it can extend into the storage bag after the opening of the storage bag is opened, and open the bag opening in a direction perpendicular to the opening direction of the bag opening, so that the second push plate 32 can push a stack of products from the bag opening into the storage bag.
[0055] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the direction of movement when the second pusher plate 32 pushes a stack of products is taken as the first horizontal direction. That is, when the opening of the storage bag is opened by the first suction nozzle 311 and the second suction nozzle 312, the opening of the storage bag is opened along the first horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 are arranged opposite each other along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The opening module also includes a first drive unit 315, a second drive unit 316, a third drive unit 317 and a fourth drive unit 318. The movable end of the third drive unit 317 is hinged to a first connecting rod (not shown in the figure). The first connecting rod is hinged to one side of the first support plate 313 along the first horizontal direction. The movable end of the third drive unit 317 can move in the second horizontal direction. The movable end of the first drive unit 315 can move in the second horizontal direction. The movable end of the first drive unit 315 is hinged to the other side of the first support plate 313 along the first horizontal direction. The moving direction of the movable end of the first drive unit 315 is opposite to the moving direction of the movable end of the third drive unit 317. Under the action of the first drive unit 315 and the third drive unit 317, the first support plate 313 can be rotated into or out of the storage bag.
[0056] The movable end of the fourth drive unit 318 is hinged to a second link (not shown in the figure). The second link is hinged to one side of the second support plate 314 along the first horizontal direction. The movable end of the fourth drive unit 318 can move in the second horizontal direction. The movable end of the second drive unit 316 can move in the second horizontal direction. The movable end of the second drive unit 316 is hinged to the other side of the second support plate 314 along the first horizontal direction. The moving direction of the movable end of the second drive unit 316 is opposite to the moving direction of the movable end of the fourth drive unit 318. Under the action of the second drive unit 316 and the fourth drive unit 318, the second support plate 314 can be rotated into or out of the storage bag.
[0057] Furthermore, when the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 are inserted into the storage bag, as the first support plate 313 rotates towards the side away from the second support plate 314 and the second support plate 314 rotates towards the side away from the first support plate 313, the plate portion of the first support plate 313 extending into the storage bag and the plate portion of the second support plate 314 extending into the storage bag become parallel, thereby opening the bag opening and forming a shape suitable for a stack of products to enter.
[0058] It is understood that the first drive unit 315, the second drive unit 316, the third drive unit 317 and the fourth drive unit 318 can all be selected as drive structures such as cylinders or electric cylinders, and no specific restrictions are made on this in this embodiment.
[0059] In addition, in this embodiment, the product bagging device also includes a sealing mechanism 5, which is configured to close the bag opening. Specifically, the sealing mechanism 5 includes a first heat-sealing knife 51 and a second heat-sealing knife 52 arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The first heat-sealing knife 51 and the second heat-sealing knife 52 can move relative to each other or away from each other in the vertical direction. After the bagging operation is completed, the first heat-sealing knife 51 and the second heat-sealing knife 52 move relative to each other, so that the upper and lower layers of the storage bag are clamped between the first heat-sealing knife 51 and the second heat-sealing knife 52, thereby closing the bag opening.
[0060] Specifically, after the bagging operation is completed, the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 are rotated out of the storage bag. Then, the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 move away from each other. Then, the first heat sealing knife 51 and the second heat sealing knife 52 heat seal the opening of the storage bag.
[0061] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first baffle 212 includes a first plate portion 2121 and a second plate portion 2122. The first plate portion 2121 is fixedly connected to the platform 21, and the second plate portion 2122 is located on the side of the first plate portion 2121 away from the platform 21. A second baffle 213 is also installed on the bearing surface 211 of the platform 21. The first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213 are arranged at intervals along a second horizontal direction. When the platform 21 is in the second working position, the second baffle 213 is located above the first baffle 212. The first push plate 12 can push a stack of products between the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213. The second baffle 213 has a first working state facing the first baffle 212 and a working state facing away from the first baffle. In the second working state where one side of plate 212 is tilted, the second plate portion 2122 can move toward the second baffle 213. Specifically, when the first push plate 12 can push a stack of products from the first conveyor belt 11 onto the first baffle 212, and the platform 21 rotates from the second working position to the first working position, the second baffle 213 switches from the first working state to the second working state. At the same time, the second plate portion 2122 moves toward the second baffle 213 to push the stack of products stacked between the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213 toward the second baffle 213, thereby making the stack of products tilted and further reducing the height of the stack of products, so that it is easier for the second push plate 32 to push the stack of products into the storage bag.
[0062] Based on the above, in this embodiment, a second driving member 214 and a third driving member 215 are installed on the stage 21. The second driving member 214 is configured to drive the second plate portion 2122 to move toward the second baffle 213. The movable end of the third driving member 215 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 216. The third driving member 215 is configured to drive the mounting plate 216 to move along the arrangement direction of the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213. The mounting plate 216 is hinged to the side of the second baffle 213 near the stage 21. A fourth driving member 217 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 216. The movable end of the fourth driving member 217 is hinged to the side of the second baffle 213 away from the stage 21. The movable end of the fourth driving member 217 can move along the arrangement direction of the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213.
[0063] When the first pusher plate 12 pushes a stack of products from the first conveyor belt 11 onto the first baffle 212, and the platform 21 rotates from the second working position to the first working position, the movable end of the fourth drive member 217 moves away from the first baffle 212 along the arrangement direction of the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213, thereby causing the second baffle 213 to move away from the platform 21, and then causing the second baffle 213 to tilt away from the first baffle 212. After that, the second drive member 214 drives the second plate portion 2122 to move toward the second baffle 213, thereby pushing the stack of products stacked between the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213 to tilt toward the second baffle 213, so as to adjust the stack of products into an inclined posture.
[0064] It is understood that the second driving component 214, the third driving component 215 and the fourth driving component 217 can all be selected as driving structures such as cylinders or electric cylinders, and no specific restrictions are made on this in this embodiment.
[0065] Preferably, in this embodiment, the bag-feeding mechanism 3 further includes a fifth driving member 36 and a sixth driving member 37. The second push plate 32 includes a third plate portion 321 and a fourth plate portion 322. The fifth driving member 36 is configured to drive the third plate portion 321 and the fourth plate portion 322 to move together toward the support module, that is, the fifth driving member 36 drives the third plate portion 321 and the fourth plate portion 322 to move together along the first horizontal direction. The sixth driving member 37 is configured to drive the fourth plate portion 322 to move toward the support module, that is, the sixth driving member 37 drives... The fourth plate 322 moves independently along the first horizontal direction. The third plate 321 can press against the top of a stack of products placed on the platform 21. The fourth plate 322 is located below the third plate 321 and can push the stack of products toward the support module. Specifically, the bagging mechanism 3 also includes a seventh drive member 38, which can drive the third plate 321 and the fourth plate 322 to move up and down together in the vertical direction, adjusting the stack of products to an inclined posture, and the second baffle 213 returns to the first working state. After the second plate portion 2122 is reset, the fifth driving member 36 drives the third plate portion 321 and the fourth plate portion 322 to move together along the first horizontal direction, so that the third plate portion 321 and the fourth plate portion 322 move between the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213. Then, the seventh driving member 38 drives the third plate portion 321 and the fourth plate portion 322 to descend vertically, so that the third plate portion 321 presses against the top of a stack of products placed on the platform 21, thereby pressing down the stack of products and further reducing the height of the stack of products. The second push plate 32 makes it easier to push a stack of products into the storage bag, while the fourth plate 322 is located on the side of the stack of products away from the support module along the first horizontal direction. Then, the fifth drive member 36 drives the third plate 321 and the fourth plate 322 to move together along the first horizontal direction, thereby pushing the stack of products into the storage bag. Then, the sixth drive member 37 drives the fourth plate 322 to move alone along the first horizontal direction, so that the fourth plate 322 pushes the stack of products alone, thereby ensuring that the products are completely pushed into the storage bag.
[0066] It is understood that the fifth drive unit 36, the sixth drive unit 37 and the seventh drive unit 38 can all be selected as drive structures such as KK modules, cylinders or electric cylinders, and no specific restrictions are made on this in this embodiment.
[0067] Based on the above, the second push plate 32 needs to pass between the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213 to push a stack of products into the storage bag. To avoid the second plate portion 2122 and the second baffle 213 affecting the movement of the second push plate 32, after the stack of products is adjusted to an inclined position, the third drive member 215 drives the mounting plate 216 to move away from the first baffle 212 along the arrangement direction of the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213. At the same time, the movable end of the fourth drive member 217 moves towards the first baffle 212 along the arrangement direction of the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213, thereby restoring the second baffle 213 to the first working state. In addition, the second drive member 214 drives the second plate portion 2122 to move away from the second baffle 213, thereby resetting the second plate portion 2122.
[0068] After the second push plate 32 pushes a stack of products into the storage bag and the second push plate 32 resets, the second baffle 213 resets, that is, the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213 restore their initial distance.
[0069] Furthermore, after the second pusher plate 32 pushes the product into the storage bag, it needs to exit from the storage bag. To prevent the second pusher plate 32 from pulling the storage bag and / or the product when exiting the storage bag, in this embodiment, the product bagging device also includes a pressure plate 4. The pressure plate 4 is configured to press against the top of the storage bag after the second pusher plate 32 pushes a stack of products into the storage bag, thereby fixing the position of the storage bag and the products inside the storage bag.
[0070] In addition, the transfer mechanism 2 also includes a stop bar 23. The stop bar 23 has a third working position surrounding the side of the first baffle 212 away from the platform 21, and a fourth working position away from the platform 21. When the stop bar 23 is in the third working position, a stack of products is limited by the stop bar 23, thereby preventing the products from falling off the platform 21 when it is flipped. When the stop bar 23 is in the fourth working position, the stop bar 23 is away from the platform 21, thereby avoiding affecting the movement of the second push plate 32.
[0071] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 2 also includes an eighth drive member 24, which is used to flip the stop lever 23, thereby switching the stop lever 23 between the third working position and the fourth working position.
[0072] It is understood that the eighth driving component 24 can be selected as a stepper motor or servo motor or other driving structure, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on it.
[0073] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 further includes a third baffle 131 and a fourth baffle 132. The third baffle 131 and the fourth baffle 132 are both installed on the first conveyor belt 11 and are arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction of the first conveyor belt 11. The third baffle 131 and the fourth baffle 132 form a hopper 133 for placing a stack of products. A plurality of hoppers 133 are evenly arranged along the extension direction of the first conveyor belt 11. The plurality of hoppers 133 can be aligned with the first push plate 12 in sequence. The first push plate 12 can pass through the third baffle 131 and the fourth baffle 132 to push a stack of products from the first conveyor belt 11 onto the first baffle 12, thereby continuously supplying a stack of products to the transfer mechanism 2, and further meeting the requirements of automated production.
[0074] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 further includes a first robotic arm 15 and a second robotic arm 16. A first feeding station 111, a second feeding station 112, and a temporary storage station 113 are provided on one side of the first conveyor belt 11. Both the first feeding station 111 and the second feeding station 112 can continuously receive products. Along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 11, the first feeding station 111 is located on the upstream side, the second feeding station 112 is located on the downstream side, and the temporary storage station 113 is located at the first feeding station 111. Between the first loading station 111 and the second loading station 112, the first robot arm 15 is used to move the products at the first loading station 111 to the upstream one of the two adjacent hoppers 133, thereby stacking a stack of products in the hopper 133. The second robot arm 16 is used to move the products at the second loading station 112 to the downstream one of the two adjacent hoppers 133, thereby stacking a stack of products in the hopper 133. This allows for the continuous supply of a stack of products to the transfer mechanism 2. The temporary storage station 113 is used to temporarily store the products.
[0075] Taking the third baffle 131 and the fourth baffle 132 located on the upstream and downstream sides of the first conveyor belt 11 as examples, the feeding mechanism 1 also includes a ninth driving member 17 and a fifth baffle 14. When the platform 21 is in the second working position, the bearing surface 211 is directly opposite the fifth baffle 14. The ninth driving member 17 is used to drive the fifth baffle 14 to move along the second horizontal direction. When the hopper 133 is directly opposite the first push plate 12, the fifth baffle 14 can be flush with the third baffle 131, so that the fifth baffle 14 and the third baffle 131 together form a guide plate, thereby providing a guiding effect for the first push plate 12 to push a stack of products.
[0076] It is understood that the ninth driving component 17 can be selected as a driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and no specific restrictions are made on this in this embodiment.
[0077] Preferably, the fifth baffle 14 is provided with a clearance hole 141. When the platform 21 is in the second working position, the stop bar 23 in the third working position is accommodated in the clearance hole 141, thereby avoiding the stop bar 23.
[0078] In addition, the feeding mechanism 1 also includes a shaping plate 18, which is located on the downstream side of the first conveyor belt 11 and can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. When the hopper 133 is directly opposite the first push plate 12, the shaping plate 18 can be lowered in the vertical direction and pressed against the top of a stack of products, thereby ensuring that the products are stacked flat together.
[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bag-feeding mechanism 3 also includes a suction cup 33, a first gripper 34, and a second gripper 35. The suction cup 33 is configured to pick up the storage bag from the storage bag storage station. The first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 can respectively grip the first edge and the second edge of the storage bag and transport the storage bag to the opening module. The arrangement direction of the first edge and the second edge is perpendicular to the opening direction of the bag opening. The first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 can move relative to or away from each other. Specifically, the first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction. The suction cup 33 stops adsorbing the storage bag after the first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 grip the storage bag. The first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 can move along the first horizontal direction to transport the storage bag to the opening module. During the process of the opening module opening the bag opening, the width of the storage bag along the second horizontal direction will gradually decrease. The first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 can move relative to each other along the second horizontal direction to adapt to the width of the storage bag during the process of the opening module opening the bag opening.
[0080] Based on the above, the first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 can position the bag opening, thereby ensuring that the second pusher 32 can push a stack of products from the bag opening into the storage bag.
[0081] In addition, based on the above description, after the bagging operation is completed, the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 are rotated out of the storage bag. Then, the first support plate 313 and the second support plate 314 move away from each other. At this time, the first gripper 34 and the second gripper 35 can move away from each other, thereby flattening the storage bag around the bag opening. This ensures that after heat sealing, the storage bag around the bag opening can be heat sealed, thus ensuring that the airtightness of the sealing position meets the requirements.
[0082] Furthermore, the product bagging device also includes a detection mechanism 6, which is used to detect the airtightness of the sealing position of the storage bag. After heat sealing, the storage bag can be conveyed to the detection mechanism 6. Specifically, the product bagging device also includes a second conveyor belt 7, which is used to convey the storage bag to the detection mechanism 6. The detection mechanism 6 includes a first detection nozzle 61 and a second detection nozzle 62 arranged vertically at intervals. The first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62 can respectively pick up the upper and lower layers of the storage bag. Both the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62 can move vertically. If the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62 are in the vertical direction, the device will detect the airtightness of the storage bag. If a vacuum breaks during the movement of the two detection nozzles in opposite directions, it indicates that the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62 have detached from the storage bag. That is, the upper and lower layers of the storage bag cannot be pulled apart by the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62, meaning that the sealing of the storage bag meets the requirements. If no vacuum breaks during the movement of the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62 in opposite directions in the vertical direction, that is, the upper and lower layers of the storage bag can move with the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62 respectively, it indicates that the upper and lower layers of the storage bag have been pulled apart by the first detection nozzle 61 and the second detection nozzle 62, meaning that the sealing of the storage bag does not meet the requirements.
[0083] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
