Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of packaging equipment technology, and specifically relates to an automatic conveying device for packing mats. Background Technology

[0002] After production, engineered wood panels need to be neatly stacked on pallets for bundling and packaging before being transported to warehouses or shipped out. However, in actual warehousing or transportation, the long turnaround time and high loss rate of pallets result in high usage costs. Therefore, packing pallets are now widely used for packaging and bundling engineered wood panels. This involves using two parallel wooden strips of packing pallets, neatly stacking the engineered wood panels on the two parallel pallets, and then bundling them with cable ties. This method significantly reduces packaging and recycling costs without affecting the packaging effect.

[0003] Currently, when using packing mats, manual placement of the mats into the automatic positions is required. The spacing and parallelism between the two mats are also subject to high requirements, making manual placement of the mats inefficient. Furthermore, the placement accuracy cannot be precisely controlled, and the neatness and stability of the stack cannot be guaranteed. This reduces the overall effect and strength of the packaging, increases the risk of deformation during transportation, and causes unnecessary losses.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, this application proposes an automatic conveying device for packing mats that can effectively solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic conveying device for packing mats, thereby effectively solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] An automatic conveying device for packing mats includes a production line and a conveyor platform. The production line is equipped with a conveyor chain.

A driving device is located at the upper end of the gantry frame, and the driving device is fixedly connected to the first and second pushing devices. The packing mats are placed on the conveyor chain. The conveyor platform drives the conveyor chain, causing the packing mats to move to the left. Positioning is achieved under the action of the adjusting device and the positioning plate. Driven by the first and second pushing devices, two designated, spaced packing mats are pushed onto the conveyor chain on the production line, completing the automatic conveying of the packing mats.

[0008] As a further provision of the above scheme, the conveying platform device includes a conveying platform, and a lifting device is provided at the left end of the upper surface of the conveying platform. The lifting device is located between two conveyor chains. The lifting device includes a lifting cylinder, and a rotating bracket is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting cylinder. A support roller is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket, and the support roller is parallel to the conveyor chain.

[0009] As a further provision of the above scheme, the feeding device includes a rotating roller support. A first baffle is provided on the upper end face of the rear support of the rotating roller support. The first baffle is parallel to the conveyor chain. A U-shaped bridge with an upward opening is provided on the left end of the first baffle. The bridge is located between the transport chain device and the conveyor chain. A guide opening is provided at the end of the bridge near the conveyor chain. A middle boss is fixedly connected to the left side of the guide opening.

[0010] As a further provision of the above solution, the adjustment device includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly installed on the left end of the rotating roller support. The fixed frame is located above the conveyor chain and perpendicular to the conveyor chain. A screw block is provided at the center of the upper surface of the fixed frame, and an adjustment screw is rotatably connected to the screw block. A spring column is vertically provided on the right side of the fixed frame, and the spring column is parallel to the conveyor chain.

[0011] As a further provision of the above solution, the positioning plate device includes a positioning plate with a fixed boss on its upper surface, which is fixedly connected to an adjusting screw. A bearing plate perpendicular to the right is provided at the lower right side of the positioning plate. A first clearance groove is provided on the bearing plate, which is located directly above the conveyor chain. A second clearance groove is provided on the bearing plate, which is located directly above the support roller. A guide connecting plate is provided at the rear end of the positioning plate, and the other end of the guide connecting plate abuts against the conveyor chain device. A second baffle is provided on the right side of the guide connecting plate, which is parallel to the first baffle. A stop post is provided on the right side of the second baffle, and the stop post is slidably connected to the intermediate boss.

[0012] As a further provision of the above scheme, the gantry frame device includes a support column, a guide wheel is provided on the right side of the front support column, a crossbeam is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, the crossbeam is located above the conveyor chain and perpendicular to the conveyor chain, slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the crossbeam, a guide rail is provided on the upper end of the crossbeam, the slide rails and guide rails are perpendicular to the conveyor chain, and a drive device is installed on the guide rails.

[0013] As a further feature of the above solution, the first pushing device includes a first pushing platform, which is slidably connected to a slide rail on the right side. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first pushing platform. A guide groove is opened on the guide plate, and the guide groove is in rolling contact with a guide wheel. A first spring push plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the guide plate, and the first spring push plate is aligned with the front and rear of the cable tray.

[0014] As a further provision of the above scheme, the second pushing device includes a second pushing platform, which is slidably mounted on a slide rail on the left side. A guide rod perpendicular to the left is provided on the second pushing platform, and a sliding platform is slidably connected to the guide rod. A second spring push plate is provided on the rear end face of the sliding platform. The second spring push plate is symmetrically arranged with the first spring push plate. A spring device is provided between the sliding platform and the second pushing platform. The spring device is in a compressed state and always generates a pushing force on the sliding platform, causing the sliding platform to tend to slide to the left. A roller is rotatably connected to the lower end of the sliding platform, and the roller makes rolling contact with the right side of the positioning plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0016] Place the packing pads on the conveyor chain. The feeding device drives the conveyor chain to rotate cyclically, conveying the packing pads from right to left. Rotate the adjusting screw, and the spring column drives the positioning plate to move left and right, changing the distance between the guide connecting plate and the bridge. After adjusting the distance between the guide connecting plate and the bridge to an integer multiple of the width of the packing pad, lock the adjusting screw. At this time, under the push of the spring device, the sliding platform slides to the left on the guide rod, and the roller rolls into contact with the right side of the positioning plate. The second spring push plate aligns with the guide connecting plate front and back. When the leftmost packing pad contacts the positioning plate, the left packing pad is exactly aligned with the guide connecting plate front and back, and the middle packing pad is exactly aligned with the bridge. These two are the packing pads to be conveyed. Activate the lifting cylinder to drive the rotating bracket to rise, and the support roller contacts the lower end of the packing pad, thus packing the pad. The pad is raised a certain distance to disengage it from the conveyor chain, avoiding resistance during transport. The drive device moves backward, causing the first and second pushing devices to move as well. The first and second spring push plates push the corresponding pads to move, with the leftmost pad entering the guide plate and finally moving onto the conveyor chain. The other pad enters the bridge and also moves onto the conveyor chain, achieving accurate positioning and automatic feeding of the pads. During feeding, the guide plate and guide wheel, and the roller and positioning plate remain in contact, guiding and positioning the first and second spring push plates to ensure smooth feeding and prevent jamming. After the pads are transported, the first and second spring push plates reset, and the pads re-attach under the action of the conveyor chain, automatically positioning themselves for the next transport cycle.

[0017] This invention improves the applicability of the device by setting up a conveyor platform and a feeding device on one side of the assembly line. The conveyor chain, adjustment device, and positioning plate device can automatically position the packing pads and adjust the distance between the packing pads. The first and second pushing devices simultaneously push two packing pads onto the conveyor chain device for the next packing and stacking step, which greatly improves the conveying efficiency and positional accuracy of the packing pads, and enhances the packing efficiency, overall effect, and strength.

The support roller 3023 contacts the lower end surface of the packing pad 6 and lifts the packing pad 6 a certain distance, so that the packing pad 6 is disengaged from the conveyor chain 5 to avoid resistance during conveying. The drive device 12 moves backward, which drives the first pushing device 10 and the second pushing device 11 to move. The first spring push plate 1004 and the second spring push plate 1104 push the corresponding packing pad 6 to move. The packing pad 6 at the left end enters the guide connecting plate 804 and finally moves onto the conveyor chain device 2. The other packing pad 6 enters the cable tray 403 and finally moves onto the conveyor chain device 2, realizing the automatic feeding of the packing pad 6 with accurate positioning.
