Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of box packing equipment, and in particular, relates to a material pushing and boxing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the transportation and centralized management of materials, materials are stacked in containers. Materials are usually loaded into containers through box loading equipment. Existing box loading equipment generally moves the tooling carrying materials to the corresponding position of the empty space in the container through a first driving mechanism, then drives the tooling carrying materials to move close to the container to the loading position through a transverse movement mechanism, and finally pushes the materials in the tooling into the empty space in the container through a pushing mechanism.

[0003] However, in the actual packing process, the materials on the tooling may be offset from the empty space in the container, which requires adjusting the position of the tooling to ensure that the materials on the tooling are aligned with the empty space in the container. Therefore, the box loading equipment is usually provided with an adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the tooling, but the adjustment mechanism and the lateral movement mechanism of the existing box loading equipment are independently provided, which makes the overall structure of the box loading equipment complex and the manufacturing cost high.

[0011] The material pushing and boxing equipment proposed in the present application realizes automatic loading of materials into the container through the cooperation of the propulsion mechanism, the second driving mechanism and the first driving mechanism, with high loading efficiency and labor saving. At the same time, the second driving mechanism has two driving modes, which can drive the propulsion mechanism to approach or move away from the empty space of the container along the first direction or drive the propulsion mechanism to rotate relative to the base, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the horizontal angle of the material to be put into the box; compared with the existing material boxing equipment, the material pushing and boxing equipment of the present application realizes driving the material to be put into the box to move to the boxing position and adjusting the material boxing angle through a set of second driving mechanisms, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the equipment, occupying less space, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0061] In order to facilitate the transportation and centralized management of materials, materials are stacked in containers. Materials are usually loaded into containers through box loading equipment. Existing box loading equipment generally moves the tooling carrying materials to the corresponding position of the empty space in the container through a first driving mechanism, then drives the tooling carrying materials to move close to the container to the loading position through a transverse movement mechanism, and finally pushes the materials in the tooling into the empty space in the container through a pushing mechanism.

[0062] However, in the actual packing process, the materials on the tooling may be offset from the empty space in the container, which requires adjusting the position of the tooling to ensure that the materials on the tooling are aligned with the empty space in the container. Therefore, the box loading equipment is usually provided with an adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the tooling, but the adjustment mechanism and the lateral movement mechanism of the existing box loading equipment are independently provided, which makes the overall structure of the box loading equipment complex and the manufacturing cost high.

[0064] It can be seen that the material pushing device proposed in the present application realizes automatic loading of materials into the container through the cooperation of the propulsion mechanism 20, the second drive mechanism 40 and the first drive mechanism 30, with high loading efficiency and labor saving. At the same time, the second drive mechanism 40 has two driving modes, which can drive the propulsion mechanism 20 to approach or move away from the empty space of the container along the first direction or drive the propulsion mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the base, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the horizontal angle of the material to be put into the box; compared with the existing material putting into the box device, the material pushing device of the present application realizes driving the material to be put into the box to move to the putting position and adjusting the material putting into the box angle through a set of second drive mechanisms 40, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the device, taking up less space, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the device.

[0087] It can be seen that by providing the second detection member 24 , it is possible to automatically detect whether the propulsion mechanism 20 is aligned with the empty space of the container, thereby controlling the operation of the second driving mechanism 40 .

[0088] See also Figure 1 As shown, as an embodiment, the first driving mechanism 30 includes a transverse movement mechanism 31, a transverse movement member 32 and a lifting mechanism 33, the driving end of the transverse movement mechanism 31 is connected to the transverse movement member 32, and the transverse movement mechanism 31 is configured to drive the transverse movement member 32 to move laterally; the fixed end of the lifting mechanism 33 is installed on the transverse movement member 32, the driving end of the lifting mechanism 33 is connected to the base 10, and the lifting mechanism 33 is configured to drive the base 10 to move up and down.

[0089] Specifically, the transverse movement mechanism 31 includes a base 310, a second motor, a second driving gear and a second rack 311. The transverse movement member 32 can be installed on the base 310 for reciprocating movement along the second direction. The second rack 311 is installed on the base 310 and extends along the second direction. The fixed end of the second motor is installed on the transverse movement member 32, and the driving end of the second motor is installed on the second driving gear, and the second driving gear is meshed with the second rack 311.

[0090] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 33 includes a mounting frame 330, a third motor 331, a third driving gear and a third rack 332.

[0092] The propulsion mechanism 20 of the material pushing device proposed in this application includes the following two implementation modes:

[0093] Embodiment 1

[0094] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, as an embodiment, the propulsion mechanism 20 is located above the base 10 .

[0095] It can be seen that by arranging the propulsion mechanism 20 on the base 10 and supporting the propulsion mechanism 20 from below by the base 10, a propulsion mechanism 20 with reliable installation and smooth operation is provided.

[0097] See also Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, as an embodiment, the propulsion mechanism 20 is located below the base 10 , and the propulsion mechanism 20 is suspended on the base 10 .

[0098] It can be seen that by suspending the propulsion mechanism 20 below the base 10, the base 10 will not affect the descending stroke of the propulsion mechanism 20, thereby increasing the vertical downward moving stroke of the propulsion mechanism 20, making it suitable for containers with very low bottom space, thereby improving the compatibility of the material pushing equipment.

[0099] See also Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, as an embodiment, the bearing assembly 21 includes a support frame 210, two support beams 211 and two groups of limiting rollers 212. The two support beams 211 are fixed in parallel on the support frame 210 and extend along the first direction. The two support beams 211 are used to carry materials. The two groups of limiting rollers 212 are respectively arranged on the outsides of the two support beams 211. Each group of limiting rollers 212 includes a plurality of limiting rollers 212 spaced apart along the first direction. The two groups of limiting rollers 212 are used to limit the materials in the second direction to prevent the materials from being offset when being pushed into the empty space of the container along the first direction.

[0100] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the specific packing process of the pushing material into box device proposed in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0101] The bearing assembly 21 of the propulsion mechanism 20 receives the material to be put into the box;

[0102] The first driving mechanism 30 drives the propulsion mechanism 20 to move to a preset position, so that the material to be loaded into the container carried by the carrying assembly 21 faces an empty space in the container;

[0103] The second detection member 24 detects whether the material to be put into the container on the carrying assembly 21 is aligned with the empty space of the container;

[0104] If the material is aligned with the empty space of the container, the third driving member 22 drives the pushing member 23 to move along the first direction close to the empty space of the container, and pushes the material into the empty space of the container;

[0105] If the material is not aligned with the empty space in the container, the second drive mechanism 40 switches to the second drive mode, adjusts the angle of the propulsion mechanism 20 toward the empty space in the container, aligns the material on the carrying assembly 21 with the corresponding empty space on the container, and then drives the pushing member 23 to move along the first direction close to the empty space in the container through the third drive member 22 to push the material into the empty space in the container.

[0106] See also Fig.11 As shown, it should be noted that the material involved in the embodiment of the present application is a battery pack 50, and the battery pack 50 includes a shell 500 and a battery cell module encapsulated in the shell 500. Of course, the material involved in the embodiment of the present application can also be other square materials.

[0108] The automatic loading of materials into the container is realized, the loading efficiency is high, and manpower is saved; through a set of second driving mechanism, the materials to be loaded into the container are driven to move to the loading position and the material loading angle is adjusted, which simplifies the overall structure of the equipment, occupies less space, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment; the overall structural design of the second driving mechanism is ingenious, and the operation is stable and reliable; the propulsion mechanism has a pressure detection function to avoid damage to the material; the propulsion mechanism can be assembled in an upper or lower manner as needed, and has good applicability.
