[0010] The controller controls the driving component and the pushing component according to the identification information of the material identification unit.

[0011] When working, the controller can control the conveyor through external connection or installation on the side wall of the frame. By setting up multiple pairs of support buckles, it is convenient to support and store different types of material rolls. The limit assembly inside the support buckle can limit the surface of the roll core, which is beneficial to the stable storage of the end of the roll core inside the support buckle, and avoids the roll core from falling off from the support buckle. When a certain material roll is needed, the staff will first set it in the control program in the material identification unit, and drive the conveyor belt inside the runway groove to rotate through the driving component, so as to drive the material roll along the conveying track of the conveyor belt with the help of the support buckle to realize rotation and transportation. The material identification unit will identify the material roll during the transportation process. When the material identification unit identifies the material roll type set in advance When the material roll is in the state of being moved, the material identification unit generates identification information and sends the identification information to the controller. The controller generates first control information and second control information based on the identification information. The controller sends the first control information to the driving component to control the driving component to stop the rotation of the conveyor belt, and the material roll being identified will stop at the pushing station. The controller sends the second control information to the pushing component. During the operation of the pushing component, the limit component located on the pushing station is first linked to cancel the limit on the roll core inside the support buckle in advance, and then the operation continues to push the roll core with the material roll on the pushing station upward, so that the material roll needed by the staff is automatically selected, which reduces the working time of the staff to search one by one in different types of material rolls, and is more conducive to mechanized production.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] 1. When a material roll is needed, the staff will first set it in the control program in the material identification unit, and drive the conveyor belt inside the runway groove to rotate through the driving component, so as to drive the material roll along the conveying track of the conveyor belt with the help of the support buckle to realize rotation and transportation. The material identification unit will identify the material roll in the conveying process. When the material identification unit identifies the material roll variety set in advance, the material identification unit generates identification information and sends the identification information to the controller. The controller generates first control information and second control information based on the identification information. The controller sends the first control information to the driving component to control the driving component to stop the rotation operation of the conveyor belt, and the material roll being identified will stop at the pushing station. The controller sends the second control information to the pushing component. During the operation of the pushing component, the limit component located on the pushing station is first linked to cancel the limit of the roll core inside the support buckle in advance, and then continue to operate to push the roll core with the material roll on the pushing station upward, so that the material roll needed by the staff is automatically selected, reducing the time spent by the staff to search one by one in different types of material rolls, which is more conducive to mechanized production.

[0043] 2. The U-shaped frame is set up to facilitate the installation of ball bearings. As the conveyor belt rotates with the support buckle, the ball bearings will roll along the inner wall of the runway groove. By installing the U-shaped frame with ball bearings on the top of the rectangular plate, after the support buckle rotates and transports to the bottom, the ball bearings are blocked by the inner wall of the runway groove, thereby preventing the vertical movement of the rectangular plate and the sliding plate to compress the spring, making it convenient to maintain the stable limit of the limit block on the roll core, which is beneficial to prevent the roll core and material roll located below from falling from the inside of the support buckle due to gravity.

[0044] When the two electric cylinders are controlled by the controller to operate, the piston rods of the two electric cylinders will push the connecting plate connected to the pushing plate upward. During the process of the pushing plate moving upward, the pushing inclined surface on the top of the pushing plate will push the surface of the roller. The surface of the roller drives the sliding seat to move horizontally, thereby linking the rectangular plate to move upward to pull the limit block to the inside of the through opening, and canceling the limit block on the surface of the core in advance. As the pushing plate continues to move upward along the pushing opening, on the one hand, the rolling surface of the roller after being pushed contacts the side wall of the pushing plate, and the position of the roller after being pushed is limited by the side wall of the pushing plate, which is conducive to maintaining the placement state of the limit block after the limit function is cancelled. On the other hand, the arc-shaped groove on the top of the pushing plate will move up against the core inside the supporting buckle, thereby pushing the core with the material roll to the top of the frame, automatically selecting the required material roll, and facilitating the staff to take the required material roll without having to search one by one, thereby speeding up the work progress.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 7 The material conveyor for a mattress production device shown in the figure comprises a frame 1, on the inner wall of which a runway groove 2 is symmetrically opened, and further comprises:

[0056] Two conveyor belts 3 are respectively arranged inside the two runway grooves 2;

[0057] Two driving components are symmetrically arranged on the side walls of the frame 1, and are used to drive the two conveyor belts 3 to rotate;

[0058] Multiple pairs of support buckles 4, each pair of support buckles 4 is fixedly connected to two conveyor belts 3 through mounting columns, each pair of support buckles 4 is used to support and store a roll core 6 on a single material roll 5, multiple pairs of support buckles 4 are distributed along the conveying track of the conveyor belt 3, and a limit position component is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of each support buckle 4;

[0059] A material identification unit for identifying a required material roll 5;

[0060] The pushing component is arranged on the side wall of the frame 1. During the operation of the pushing component, the limiting component is first linked to cancel the limiting of the roll core 6, and then the material roll 5 identified by the material identification unit is pushed upward;

[0061] The controller controls the driving component and the pushing component according to the identification information of the material identification unit. In the process of mattress processing, materials on multiple material rolls need to be sewn alternately. If the staff needs to search and carry them every time, it will consume a lot of working time, which is not conducive to efficient mechanized production. The technical solution can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows. When working, the controller can control the conveyor by external connection or installation on the side wall of the frame 1. By setting multiple pairs of support buckles 4, it is convenient to support and store different types of material rolls 5. The limiting component inside the support buckle 4 can limit the surface of the core 6, which is conducive to the stable storage of the end of the core 6 inside the support buckle 4, avoiding the core 6 from falling off from the support buckle 4. When a certain material roll 5 is needed, the staff will first set it in the control program in the material identification unit, and drive the conveyor belt 3 inside the runway groove 2 to rotate through the driving component, so as to use the support buckle 4. The material roll 5 is driven to realize rotational transportation along the conveying track of the conveyor belt 3. The material identification unit will identify the material roll 5 in the conveying process. When the material identification unit identifies the type of material roll 5 set in advance, the material identification unit generates identification information and sends the identification information to the controller. The controller generates first control information and second control information according to the identification information. The controller sends the first control information to the driving component to control the driving component to stop the rotation operation of the conveyor belt 3, and the identified material roll 5 will stop at the pushing station. The controller sends the second control information to the pushing component. During the operation of the pushing component, the limit component located on the pushing station is first linked to cancel the limit of the winding core 6 inside the support buckle 4 in advance, and then continue to operate to push the winding core 6 with the material roll 5 on the pushing station upward, so that the material roll 5 needed by the staff is automatically selected, which reduces the time spent by the staff to search one by one in different types of material rolls 5, which is more conducive to mechanized production.

[0062] The conveyor can be placed below the mattress production line, allowing staff to directly remove the automatically selected material rolls for further processing of the mattress.

[0063] The support buckle 4 is connected to the mounting plate on the conveyor belt 3 through a mounting column, which facilitates the conveyor belt 3 to drive the support buckle 4 to move stably during the rotating conveying process. In the implementation process, the conveyor belt 3 can also be replaced with a gear belt or a chain, which can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0064] As an embodiment of the present invention, the driving component includes two synchronous wheels 34 and a motor 7, the two synchronous wheels 34 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the runway groove 2, the conveyor belt 3 located inside the runway groove 2 is sleeved on the surface of the two synchronous wheels 34, the motor 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame 1, and the output shaft end of the motor 7 passes through the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the adjacent synchronous wheel 34, and the controller is also used to control the motor 7 to operate; when working, in the initial state, the motor 7 operates, and the output shaft of the motor 7 drives the synchronous wheel 34 connected thereto to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 3 to rotate inside the runway groove 2, and then conveying the material roll 5 supported inside the support buckle 4, after the material identification unit identifies the required material roll 5, the controller controls the motor 7 to stop operating, and the identified material roll 5 will stop at the pushing station, which is convenient for the pushing operation of the pushing component;

[0065] It should be noted that each time the controller controls the motor 7 to stop working, the conveyor belt 3 will drive the material roll 5 near the pushing station to stop at the pushing station before stopping.

[0066] As an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component includes:

[0067] A through opening 33 is formed through the side wall of the support buckle 4;

[0068] The limit block 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through opening 33, one end of the limit block 8 is provided with an arc surface, the other end of the limit block 8 is provided with a first clearance opening 9, and the inner wall of the first clearance opening 9 is symmetrically provided with oblique grooves 10;

[0069] A rectangular plate 11 is vertically slidably connected to the side wall of the support buckle 4, and a first sliding pin 12 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the side wall of the rectangular plate 11, and the ends of the two first sliding pins 12 are respectively inserted into the inside of the two oblique grooves 10;

[0070] An elastic support member, arranged on the side wall of the support buckle 4, for elastically supporting the upper end of the rectangular plate 11;

[0071] A fixing frame 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support buckle 4, and a sliding seat 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 13 in a transverse direction, and a roller 15 is installed at the end of the sliding seat 14 through a mounting seat;

[0072] An oblique opening 16 is formed through the side wall of the sliding seat 14;

[0073] The second clearance opening 17 is formed through the side wall of the rectangular plate 11;

[0074] The second sliding pin 18, one end of the second sliding pin 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second yielding opening 17, and the other end of the second sliding pin 18 passes through the oblique opening 16 and is rotatably connected to the similar inner wall in the second yielding opening 17; when working, when the two ends of the winding core 6 on a single material roll 5 are respectively located inside a pair of support buckles 4, the rectangular plate 11 supported by the elastic support component will prompt one end of the limiting block 8 to be located inside the support buckle 4, and the surface of the winding core 6 is limited by the arc-shaped surface of the end of the limiting block 8, and the winding core 6 with the material roll 5 is limited by each pair of support buckles 4, thereby facilitating the conveyor belt 3 to rotate and transport the material roll 5. When the pushing component is in operation, the pushing component will push upward, and the rolling element will be pushed upward during the pushing operation. The surface of the wheel 15 is pushed, so that the roller 15 drives the sliding seat 14 to move laterally along the inner wall of the fixed frame 13. During the lateral movement of the sliding seat 14, the inner wall of the oblique opening 16 opened on its side wall will push the surface of the second sliding pin 18, so that the second sliding pin 18 drives the rectangular plate 11 to move upward. When the rectangular plate 11 moves upward, it will compress the elastic supporting component and drive the first sliding pin 12 to move upward. The upwardly moved first sliding pin 12 pushes the groove wall of the oblique groove 10, so that the limit block 8 moves laterally, so that the limit block 8 moves into the through opening 33, thereby canceling the limit of the end of the limit block 8 on the surface of the winding core 6, and then facilitating the pushing component to continue to push the material roll 5 that is identified to be in the pushing position upward;

[0075] After the elastic support component is compressed, after the pushing component completes the downward movement and reset, the obstruction on the surface of the roller 15 is removed, thereby facilitating the recovery of the compressed elastic support component, while driving the rectangular plate 11 to move downward and reset, thereby driving one end of the limit block 8 to reset to the inside of the support buckle 4 and the sliding seat 14 to reset.

[0076] As an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic support component includes a mounting groove 19, the mounting groove 19 is opened on the side wall of the support buckle 4, and four sliding rods 20 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 19. The surfaces of the four sliding rods 20 are commonly vertically slidably connected with a sliding plate 21. The end of the sliding plate 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular plate 11, and four springs 22 are commonly fixedly connected between the top of the sliding plate 21 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 19. The four springs 22 are respectively sleeved on the surfaces of the four sliding rods 20; when working, when it is necessary to limit the winding core 6 inside the support buckle 4, the spring 22 on the sliding rod 20 plays a supporting role, and the spring 22 supports the top of the sliding plate 21, and then with the help of The sliding plate 21 supports the upper end of the rectangular plate 11, thereby limiting one end of the limit block 8 to the inside of the support buckle 4. The surface of the core 6 is limited by the limit block 8, which is conducive to the core 6 with the material roll 5 being stably limited inside the support buckle 4, and then facilitating the conveyor belt 3 to realize rotational transportation of the material roll 5 with the help of the support buckle 4; when the pushing component is in operation, the rectangular plate 11 and the sliding plate 21 are pushed upward and the spring 22 is compressed. When the pushing component cancels the push reset, the compressed spring 22 is restored, and the impact force of the spring 22 resets the rectangular plate 11 and the sliding plate 21, which is conducive to resetting one end of the limit block 8 to the inside of the support buckle 4 for the limiting operation.

[0077] As an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component also includes a U-shaped frame 23, which is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular plate 11, and a ball 24 is rotatably connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame 23; when working, the winding core 6 with the material roll 5 limited inside the support buckle 4 will rotate downward along the trajectory of the conveyor belt 3 as the conveyor belt 3 rotates, and is transported to the winding core 6 below. Under the action of the gravity of the material roll 5 and the winding core 6 itself, it is easy to push the arc surface at the end of the limiting block 8 inside the support buckle 4, which is easy to cause unstable limiting, resulting in the situation that the winding core 6 falls from the inside of the support buckle 4. The technical solution can solve the above problems. The specific implementation is as follows: by setting up a U-shaped frame 23, it is convenient to install the ball 24. As the conveyor belt 3 rotates and transports with the support buckle 4, the ball 24 will roll along the inner wall of the runway groove 2. By installing the U-shaped frame 23 with the ball 24 on the top of the rectangular plate 11, after the support buckle 4 is rotated and transported to the bottom, the ball 24 is blocked by the inner wall of the runway groove 2, thereby preventing the vertical movement of the rectangular plate 11 and the sliding plate 21 to compress the spring 22, which is convenient for maintaining the stable limiting position of the limit block 8 on the winding core 6, which is beneficial to prevent the winding core 6 and the material roll 5 located below from falling from the inside of the support buckle 4 due to gravity.

[0078] As an embodiment of the present invention, the material identification unit includes a mounting frame 25, the mounting frame 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and a visual identification system 26 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 25; it should be noted that, in combination with Figure 1 As shown, the installation position of the mounting frame 25 is not above the pushing component, so it will not block the pushing component from pushing the material roll upward. After the required material roll 5 is identified, the identified material roll 5 will stop at the pushing station, and then the roll core 6 with the material roll 5 on the pushing station will be pushed upward.

[0079] It should be noted that the visual recognition system 26 uses a camera and image processing software in the prior art to identify the color, shape, size, texture and other characteristics of the material, thereby identifying the required material roll 5.

[0080] As an embodiment of the present invention, the pushing component includes:

[0081] A plurality of push openings 27, the number of which is the same as the number of the support buckles 4, and the plurality of push openings 27 are respectively opened through the bottom of the support buckles 4;

[0082] Two material taking ports 28 are symmetrically opened on the top of the frame 1;

[0083] Two openings 29 are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the frame 1. A connecting plate 30 is vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of each opening 29. A push plate 31 is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting plate 30. An arc groove 3101 is provided on the top of the push plate 31. A push inclined surface 3102 is symmetrically provided on the top of the push plate 31. The push inclined surface 3102 is adapted to the surface of the roller 15.

[0084] The two electric cylinders 32 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the side walls of the frame 1, and the ends of the piston rods of the two electric cylinders 32 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two connecting plates 30 respectively; when working, the material taking port 28 is set to facilitate pushing the winding core 6 with the material roll 5 upward to the top of the frame 1, and at the same time facilitate providing space for the ball 24 to move upward. When the controller controls the two electric cylinders 32 to operate, the piston rods of the two electric cylinders 32 will push the connecting plate 30 connected to the pushing plate 31 to move upward. During the upward movement of the pushing plate 31, the pushing inclined surface 3102 on the top of the pushing plate 31 will push the surface of the roller 15. The surface of the roller 15 is subjected to force to drive the sliding seat 14 to move horizontally, thereby linking the rectangular plate 11 to move upward to move the limit block 8 toward the opening 33 is pulled inside to cancel the limiting block 8 on the surface of the winding core 6 in advance. As the pushing plate 31 continues to move upward along the pushing opening 27, on the one hand, the rolling surface of the roller 15 after being pushed contacts the side wall of the pushing plate 31, and the position of the roller 15 after being pushed is limited by the side wall of the pushing plate 31, which is conducive to maintaining the placement state after the limiting block 8 cancels the limiting function. On the other hand, the arc-shaped groove 3101 on the top of the pushing plate 31 will push the winding core 6 inside the supporting buckle 4 to move upward, thereby pushing the winding core 6 with the material roll 5 to the top of the frame 1, automatically selecting the required material roll 5, and facilitating the staff to take the required material roll 5 without having to search one by one, thereby speeding up the work progress.

[0085] like Figure 8 A control method for a material conveyor for a mattress production equipment is shown, the control method comprising the following steps:

[0086] The material identification unit identifies the material roll 5 in the conveying process according to the material type set in advance, and generates identification information after identifying the required type;

[0087] The material identification unit sends the identification information to the controller to control the operation of the driving component and the pushing assembly.

[0088] As an embodiment of the present invention, the control method further includes:

[0089] The controller generates first control information after receiving the identification information;

[0090] The controller sends the first control information to the driving component to control the driving component to drive the conveyor belt 3 to stop operating.

[0091] As an embodiment of the present invention, the control method further includes:

[0092] The controller generates second control information after receiving the identification information;

[0093] The controller sends the second control information to the two electric cylinders 32 to control the two electric cylinders 32 to push the corresponding pushing plates 31 upward with the help of the connecting plates 30, cancel the limit of the winding core 6 by the limit component on the pushing station in advance, and push the required material roll 5 upward.

[0094] Working principle of the present invention: The controller can control the conveyor in an external manner or be installed on the side wall of the frame 1. By setting up multiple pairs of support buckles 4, it is convenient to support and store material rolls 5 of different types. The limiting components inside the support buckles 4 can limit the surface of the roll core 6, which is beneficial to the stable storage of the end of the roll core 6 inside the support buckles 4, and avoids the roll core 6 from falling off from the support buckles 4. When a certain material roll 5 is needed, the staff will first set it in the control program in the material identification unit, and drive the conveyor belt 3 inside the runway groove 2 to rotate through the driving component, so as to drive the material roll 5 along the conveying trajectory of the conveyor belt 3 with the help of the support buckles 4 to realize rotation and transportation. The material identification unit will identify the material roll 5 during the transportation process, and when the material identification unit identifies the material roll 5 set in advance When a material roll 5 of a certain variety is identified, the material identification unit generates identification information and sends the identification information to the controller. The controller generates first control information and second control information based on the identification information. The controller sends the first control information to the driving component to control the driving component to stop the rotation of the conveyor belt 3, and the material roll 5 being identified will stop at the pushing station. The controller sends the second control information to the pushing component. During the operation of the pushing component, the limit component located on the pushing station is first linked to cancel the limit on the core 6 inside the support buckle 4 in advance, and then the operation continues to push the core 6 with the material roll 5 on the pushing station upward, so that the material roll 5 needed by the staff is automatically selected, which reduces the time spent by the staff to search one by one in material rolls 5 of different varieties, and is more conducive to mechanized production.
