Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wheel hub protection ring packaging, in particular to a packaging device and method for a T-shaped wheel hub protection ring. Background Art

[0002] At present, automobile wheels are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy wheels are widely used due to their advantages such as fast heat dissipation, safe use and light weight. However, due to the soft texture of aluminum alloy materials, aluminum alloy wheels are prone to bumps and deformation. When the car is driving or parking, it is easy to collide with the roadside or flower beds, which can easily cause scratches, damage to the wheel hub and even pinch the tire. The wheel hub protection ring is used to protect the car's wheel hub from being scratched and damaged.

[0003] Common types of wheel hub protection rings include L-shaped wheel hub protection rings and T-shaped wheel hub protection rings. Among them, T-shaped wheel hub protection rings are more widely used, so the production needs also increase accordingly. During the production process of T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, in order to facilitate packaging, they need to be stacked and bound together, and finally placed in the packaging box. During this process, the operator is required to manually stack the T-shaped wheel hub protection rings. Since the stacking height can easily exceed the operator's hand grip, the operator cannot complete the hand grip, causing some T-shaped wheel hub protection rings to fall off during stacking.

[0004] Another way is to use stacking equipment to automatically receive the T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, mainly by guiding the T-shaped wheel hub protection rings through vertical support rods. Although this method can concentrate the stacking of T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, when the T-shaped wheel hub protection rings slide down the support rods during stacking, some of the T-shaped wheel hub protection rings are easily tilted and hung on the side of the support rods near the top, resulting in the need for manual parallel reset, so that each T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is stacked in sequence to complete the stacking work.

[0005] In order to address the above problems, a packaging device and method for a T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0017] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for using a packaging device for a T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, comprising the following method steps:

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In the packaging device and method for T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, the transmission assembly drives two guide plates to approach each other, shortening the interval width formed therebetween until the side of the guide plate fits against the side of the conveyed T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, and the friction resistance generated between the two is used to fix the position of the normally conveyed T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, so that it is fixed at the top position of the packaging conveyor belt, and the blowing force generated by the gas flow will act on the top of the inclined T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, so that the inclined T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is downwardly sleeved on the outside of the stacking column in parallel, so as to realize the correction work of the abnormally stacked T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, so that each T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is stacked in parallel on the outside of the stacking column in sequence, so that the subsequent binding work can be completed normally, reducing the workload of the operator and improving the packaging efficiency.

[0025] 2. In the packaging device and method for the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, the stacking column is designed to be a conical structure with a pointed top, which is used to guide the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to slide downward along the outer side of the stacking column, thereby reducing the obstruction of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring during the sliding process and improving the stacking efficiency.

[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a packaging device for T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, including a packaging conveyor belt 10 for conveying T-shaped wheel hub protection rings and a stacking platform 20 for stacking T-shaped wheel hub protection rings. Guide plates 110 are arranged on both sides of the top of the packaging conveyor belt 10. A gap for the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to pass through is reserved between the two guide plates 110. The stacking platform 20 includes a column 210 and a bracket 220 sleeved on the outside of the column 210. Four stacking columns 221 are arranged in an array on the side of the bracket 220. The adjacent stacking columns 221 are spaced 90 degrees apart. The top of one of the stacking columns 221 is directly opposite to the bottom end of the packaging conveyor belt 10, and is used for stacking the T-shaped wheel hub protection rings falling along the end of the packaging conveyor belt 10.

[0043] A transmission assembly 120 is connected between the two guide plates 110, and a steering assembly is connected between the side of one of the guide plates 110 and the top of the bracket 220. After the stacking column 221 completes the stacking work, the transmission assembly 120 drives the two guide plates 110 to move closer to each other, shortens the interval between the two, clamps and fixes the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring during the conveying process, and cooperates with the steering assembly to drive the bracket 220 to rotate 90 degrees;

[0044] An air supply assembly is provided at the inner end of the column 210, and an exhaust groove 224 for exhaust is provided on the side of the top end of the stacking column 221. The exhaust groove 224 port faces downward and remains connected with the air supply assembly. During the turning process, the gas is guided to be discharged outward from the exhaust groove 224 port and transmitted to the top of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring of the stacking, and the blowing force is used to adjust the inclined stacking T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to return to a parallel state.

[0045] When in use, during the packaging of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is firstly transported and guided by the packaging conveyor belt 10, so that it moves along the interval formed by the two guide plates 110 toward one end of the stacking platform 20. During this process, one of the stacking columns 221 is located directly below the end of the packaging conveyor belt 10, and the dropped T-shaped wheel hub protection ring will be sleeved on the outside of the stacking column 221. During the actual packaging process, after 8-12 T-shaped wheel hub protection rings are stacked on the outside of a single stacking column 221, the stacking work is completed. This is because different sizes of packaging boxes are adapted to different numbers of T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, so the stacking quantity needs to be determined according to the actual packaging needs as the stacking completion quantity;

[0046] When the installation of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is completed, the transmission assembly 120 drives the two guide plates 110 to move closer to each other, reducing the width of the gap formed between the two, until the side of the guide plate 110 is attached to the side of the conveyed T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, and the friction resistance generated between the two is used to fix the position of the normally conveyed T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, so that it is fixed at the top position of the packaging conveyor belt 10. During this process, the moving guide plate 110 will cooperate with the steering assembly to drive the stacking column 221 that has completed the stacking work to rotate 90 degrees and move from the stacking area to the packaging area. During the steering process, the inner end of the column 210 The air supply component is connected to the stacking column 221 that completes the stacking work, and exhausts gas outward from the exhaust groove 224 port. Since the exhaust groove 224 port is directly opposite to the top of the T-shaped hub protection ring for stacking, the blowing force generated by the gas flow will act on the top of the inclined T-shaped hub protection ring, so that the inclined T-shaped hub protection ring is downwardly sleeved on the outside of the stacking column 221 in parallel, thereby realizing the correction of the abnormally stacked T-shaped hub protection ring, so that each T-shaped hub protection ring is stacked in parallel on the outside of the stacking column 221 in sequence, so that the subsequent binding work can be completed normally, reducing the workload of operators and improving packaging efficiency.

[0047] In addition, the two guide plates 110 are both Z-shaped structures, and the guide plate 110 at one end away from the stacking platform 20 is a guiding section, the two guiding sections are parallel to each other and form a guiding area 110A, and the guide plate 110 at one end close to the bracket 220 is a closing section, the two closing sections are parallel to each other and form a positioning area 110C. A transition section is connected between the guiding section and the closing section of the guide plate 110. The two transition sections are inclined structures and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the packaging conveyor belt 10 to form a transition area 110B. The width of the positioning area 110C is not greater than the width of the transition area 110B, and the width of the transition area 110B is not greater than the width of the guide area 110A.

[0048] When used specifically, Figure 4As shown, in the process of guiding the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, in order to enable each T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to smoothly enter the gap formed between the two guide plates 110 for subsequent stacking work, the guide plate 110 is designed to be a Z-shaped structure, and a guide area 110A, a transition area 110B and an adjustment area 110C are formed between the two guide plates 110 according to the moving direction of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring. Therefore, the moving area of ​​the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is from wide to narrow, and the adjustment area 110C with a larger width is used to guide the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to enter the gap formed between the two guide plates 110 to form a gap. At the inner end of the gap, the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring passes through the transition area 110B and enters the adjustment area 110C. The T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is guided by the adjustment area 110C to move to the middle area of ​​the packaging conveyor belt 10, so that the center of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring can be directly above the stacking column 221 before falling, and the stacking position of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is corrected, which ensures that the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring can be smoothly transmitted along the interval and reduces obstacles during the transmission process. At the same time, the width of the interval between the two guide plates 110 is changed to correct the transmission position of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring and improve the stacking accuracy.

[0049] Furthermore, the steering assembly includes a transverse plate 111 and a connecting ring 225 arranged on the outside of the column 210, the transverse plate 111 is horizontally and vertically connected to the end position of the guide plate 110, one of the transverse plates 111 is equidistantly provided with a plurality of oblique tooth blocks 112 on the side close to the stacking platform 20, the connecting ring 225 is rotatably arranged on the outside of the column 210 near the top position, and a plurality of oblique tooth grooves 2251 are arranged in an array on the outside of the connecting ring 225 at a position flush with the transverse plate 111, and both the oblique tooth blocks 112 and the oblique tooth grooves 2251 are inclined structures, when the two transverse plates 111 follow the guide plates 110 to approach each other, the transverse plate 111 provided with the oblique tooth blocks 112 engages with the connecting ring 225, driving the bracket 220 to rotate 90 degrees, when the two transverse plates 111 move away from each other and reset, the transverse plate 111 and the connecting ring 225 slip, the position of the connecting ring 225 is fixed, and the bottom end of the connecting ring 225 is connected to the top end of the bracket 220.

[0050] Depend on Fig.10 As shown, in specific use, during the process of steering and adjusting the stacking column 221, in order to prevent the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring from falling off from the end of the packaging conveyor belt 10 after the stacking work, resulting in no corresponding stacking column 221 for stacking at this time, during this process, the two guide plates 110 are driven to approach each other by the transmission assembly 120, and the distance formed between the two guide plates 110 is shortened, so that the two sides of the guide plate 110 are respectively in contact with the two sides of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring during the transmission process, and the friction resistance applied fixes the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring at the top of the packaging conveyor belt 10 for transmission;

[0051] When the two guide plates 110 approach each other, the guide plates 110 are equipped with a transverse plate 111 which meshes with the connecting ring 225, driving the connecting ring 225 to rotate until the palletizing column 221 that completes the palletizing work rotates 90 degrees from the palletizing area to the packaging area.

[0052] In order to prevent the reset guide plate 110 from driving the stacking column 221 to reset, this is because when the packaging area is in progress, the neatly stacked T-shaped hub protection rings need to be bound, and the time consumed in this process will exceed the time consumed for stacking. In order to reserve sufficient time for the packaging binding work, the oblique tooth groove 2251 and the oblique tooth block 112 are designed to be an inclined structure, that is, when the two horizontal plates 111 approach each other, the oblique tooth block 112 is engaged with the connecting ring 225, and when they move away from each other and reset, the oblique tooth block 112 and the connecting ring 225 slip, that is, the connecting ring 225 cannot be driven to rotate during reset, thereby maintaining the position of the stacking column 221 unchanged, reserving sufficient time for the packaging binding work, and ensuring orderliness during the packaging process.

[0053] Since during the stacking process, part of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is easily tilted and hung on the outside of the stacking column 221, and cannot be stacked with the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring at the bottom, further, the air supply component includes an air pump 212 and a bottom ring 222, an air chamber 211 is provided at the inner end of the column 210, the air pump 212 is arranged at the inner end of the air chamber 211, the bottom ring 222 is connected to the outer position of the bottom end of each stacking column 221, and the bottom ring 222 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the bottom end of the column 210, an air discharge groove 213 is provided on one side of the air chamber 211, the air discharge groove 213 is arranged between two adjacent stacking columns 221, a guide groove 223 is provided at the inner end of each stacking column 221, and the exhaust groove 224 is connected to the guide groove 223. After the stacking column 221 completes the stacking work, it cooperates with the steering assembly to adjust the position, and during the adjustment process, the guide groove 223 is connected to the air discharge groove 213;

[0054] In order to address the above problems, Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, air is evacuated to the inner end of the air chamber 211 through the air pump 212, and exhausted to the outside through the air relief groove 213. During the stacking process, the bottom ring 222 covers the outside of the air relief groove 213 to seal the air relief groove 213. After the stacking is completed, the stacking column 221 driven by the steering assembly is adjusted to the position below the end of the packaging conveyor belt 10. During this process, the air relief groove 213 at the bottom end is connected with the guide groove 223, and the gas at the inner end of the air chamber 211 is discharged into the guided guide groove 223 and discharged outward along each exhaust groove 224, guiding the airflow to the inclined T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, and using the thrust generated by the airflow to drive the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to align downward for stacking, so that it is stacked in parallel on the outside of the stacking column 221, completing the neat stacking of each T-shaped wheel hub protection ring.

[0055] Specifically, the stacking column 221 is a conical structure, and the cross-sectional size of the top end of the stacking column 221 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the bottom end.

[0056] During the stacking process, since the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is an annular structure, when it falls downward from the end of the packaging conveyor belt 10, it needs to be sleeved on the top position of the stacking column 221 from top to bottom. In order to ensure that the stacked T-shaped wheel hub protection rings can be stacked in parallel in sequence, it is necessary to ensure that the bottom end of the stacking column 221 and the outer cross-sectional size of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring are consistent. If the stacking column 221 is designed as an integral column structure, the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring will not be able to complete the alignment work during the sleeve installation process, so that the fallen T-shaped wheel hub protection ring will be separated from the top of the stacking column 221 facing it, and the stacking work cannot be completed. Figure 6 As shown, the stacking column 221 is designed to be a conical structure with a pointed top, which is used to guide the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring to slide downward along the outer side of the stacking column 221, thereby reducing the obstruction of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring during the sliding process and improving the stacking efficiency.

[0057] In addition, a support ring is connected between the bottom end of the stacking column 221 and the top end of the bracket 220. The support ring protrudes upward from the top end of the bracket 220 to form a gap with the outer side of the bottom end of the stacking column 221 for stacking T-shaped wheel hub protection rings, and a plurality of notches are opened on the top end of the support ring.

[0058] When in use, in the process of stacking the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, in order to fix the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring and improve the stacking effect of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, Fig. 9 As shown, a support ring is provided to cooperate with the bottom end of the stacking column 221 to form a stacking interval, so that the T-shaped hub protection ring is stacked and fixed. At the same time, a channel for binding is formed through the opening to prevent the outer side of the T-shaped hub protection ring from being blocked by the support ring after stacking, which makes it impossible for the operator to perform the binding work and requires lifting the entire stacked T-shaped hub protection ring, affecting the binding effect.

[0059] During the resetting process of the two horizontal plates 111, the oblique tooth block 112 is designed as an inclined structure, and slips with the connecting ring 225 during resetting. However, the friction force still generated between the two at this time, although it cannot drive the bracket 220 to turn as a whole, it will still drive the bracket 220 to deviate, affecting the subsequent binding work;

[0060] Furthermore, a plurality of slots 2252 are provided in an array on the inner side of the connecting ring 225. Fig. 9 As shown, at this time, the friction resistance between the connecting ring 225 and the outer side of the column 210 is increased by setting the slot 2252 to offset the friction force generated when the oblique tooth block 112 contacts the oblique tooth groove 2251, thereby improving the stability of the bracket 220.

[0061] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 120 includes a servo motor 121 and a screw rod 122. The servo motor 121 is fixed to one side of the top end of the packaging conveyor belt 10, and the screw rod 122 is threadedly connected to the two guide plates 110.

[0062] Depend on Figure 3 As shown, during the process of adjusting the position of the two guide plates 110, the servo motor 121 drives the screw rod 122 to rotate forward. Since the screw rod 122 and the two guide plates 110 are threadedly connected, the two guide plates 110 will be driven to move closer to each other in the forward rotation state, shortening the interval between them, clamping and fixing the T-shaped hub protection ring being transported, and at the same time cooperating with the cross plate 111 to drive the bracket 220 to adjust the position. After the binding work is completed, the servo motor 121 drives the screw rod 122 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation will drive the guide plates 110 away from each other and restore to the initial interval width, and the T-shaped hub protection ring transmission work will be resumed.

[0063] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for using a packaging device for a T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, comprising the following method steps:

[0064] S1, the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is guided by the packaging conveyor belt 10 so that it moves toward one end of the stacking platform 20 along the interval formed by the two guide plates 110;

[0065] S2, one of the stacking columns 221 is located directly below the end of the packaging conveyor belt 10, and the fallen T-shaped wheel hub protection ring will be sleeved on the outside of the stacking column 221;

[0066] S3, when the installation of the T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is completed, the two guide plates 110 are driven to approach each other through the transmission assembly 120, and the width of the interval formed between the two is shortened, until the side surface of the guide plate 110 is attached to the side surface of the conveyed T-shaped wheel hub protection ring, and the position of the normally conveyed T-shaped wheel hub protection ring is fixed by the friction resistance generated between the two, so that it is fixed at the top position of the packaging conveyor belt 10;

[0067] S4, the moving guide plate 110 will cooperate with the steering assembly to drive the palletizing column 221 that completes the palletizing work to rotate 90 degrees and move from the palletizing area to the packaging area;

[0068] S5. The air supply assembly at the inner end of the column 210 is connected to the stacking column 221 that completes the stacking work, and exhausts gas outward from the exhaust groove 224 port. The blowing force generated by the gas flow will act on the top of the inclined T-shaped hub protection ring, so that the inclined T-shaped hub protection ring is downwardly sleeved on the outside of the stacking column 221 in parallel.

[0069] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
