[0002] According to the survey of the market demand for clips, the current market demand for clips is huge, which leads to a huge production volume of clips. Similarly, the packaging volume of clips is also quite large. However, most clip manufacturers in the market currently use manual packaging. At present, the clip packaging process uses manual packaging, generally a certain number of clips are packed into a bag. Although the process is simple and does not require strong thinking ability, due to the large output of clips and the relatively harsh and noisy packaging environment, workers who are on the front line of packaging for a long time will be more tired and exhausted mentally and physically. This will directly affect the packaging efficiency and packaging quality.

[0003] Although some companies use automated equipment for packaging, they do not have a suitable conveying device. Some companies manually place a certain number of clips on the packaging machine one by one for packaging. Some automatic conveyors cannot control the number and arrangement of clips well. The packaged products are scattered and do not meet the company's packaging requirements. Therefore, the disadvantages of clip packaging in the current market are that manual packaging is inefficient and in short supply. Automated equipment packaging is scattered and does not meet the company's requirements. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a transmission method for fully automatic packaging of clips to meet the need for arranging packaging in existing packaging.

[0005] The technical solution to solve the above technical problems is: a transmission method for fully automatic packaging of clips, including a feeding device, a conveying device, a transfer device and a control system, the feeding device, the conveying device and the transfer device are respectively connected to the control, the feeding device and the transfer device are respectively located at both ends of the conveying device, the feeding device is located at the input end of the conveying device, and the transfer device is located at the end of the conveying device; the transmission method includes the following steps: A. There are more than two feeding devices, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the inlet end of the conveying device. The feeding devices are respectively arranged on both sides of the inlet end of the conveying device in a staggered state, one in front and one behind. The clips are loaded onto the feeding devices through the existing loading devices, and the clips are pushed onto the conveying device one by one through the feeding devices. At this time, the clips on the conveying device are in a horizontally lying state and are conveyed in a front-to-back arrangement. The clips are a cone structure with one end larger than the other end. The arrangement state of the front and back adjacent clips on the conveying device is that the large end and the small end are staggered; B. When the clips in step A are transferred to the end of the transfer device, the transfer device pushes multiple clips to the transfer device at one time. The number of clips pushed to the transfer device by the transfer device each time is the same. Each push by the transfer device is counted as a group. The transfer device pushes groups of clips to the transfer device in sequence. C. When there are more than two groups of clips pushed onto the transfer device in step B, the rectangular grippers of the transfer device simultaneously frame the two or more groups of clips and transfer them to the existing clip automatic packaging machine, thus completing the transmission of the clip packaging.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the feeding device includes a feeding trough, a feeding push plate and a feeding cylinder, the feeding push plate is connected to the feeding cylinder, the clip slides down to the feeding trough with the large end facing downward and is in a horizontal state, at this time the large end of the clip is close to one end of the conveying device, the clip is pushed horizontally onto the conveying device by the feeding push plate pushing the small end of the clip, at this time the clips of the conveying device are arranged one by one in front and back, and the large ends and small ends of the adjacent clips in front and back are in a staggered state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] A transmission method for fully automatic packaging of clips, comprising a feeding device, a conveying device, a transfer device and a control system, wherein the feeding device, the conveying device and the transfer device are respectively connected to the control system, the feeding device and the transfer device are respectively located at both ends of the conveying device, the feeding device is located at the inlet end of the conveying device, and the transfer device is located at the end of the conveying device; the transmission method comprises the following steps: A. There are more than two feeding devices, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the inlet end of the conveying device. The feeding devices are respectively arranged on both sides of the inlet end of the conveying device in a staggered state, one in front and one behind. The clips are loaded onto the feeding device through the existing loading device, and the clips are pushed onto the conveying device one by one through the feeding push plate of the feeding device. The forward transmission direction of the conveying device is planned to be the longitudinal direction. The clips on the conveying device are in a horizontal (cross-sectional direction of the conveyor belt) lying state and are conveyed in a front-to-back arrangement state. The clips are a cone structure with one end larger than the other end. The arrangement state of the front and rear adjacent clips on the conveying device is that the large end and the small end are staggered, for example, the large end of the first clip is on the left, the large end of the second clip is on the right, and the large end of the third clip is on the left, and they are arranged in a staggered order in this way; B. When the clips in step A are transferred to the end of the conveying device, the conveying push plate of the conveying device pushes multiple clips to the transfer device at one time. The conveying device pushes the same number of clips to the transfer device each time. Each push by the conveying device is counted as a group. The conveying device pushes the clips in groups to the transfer device in sequence. C. When there are more than two groups of clips pushed onto the transfer device in step B, the rectangular grippers of the transfer device simultaneously frame the two or more groups of clips and transfer them to the existing clip automatic packaging machine, thus completing the transmission of the clip packaging.

[0022] The feeding device includes a feeding trough, a feeding push plate and a feeding cylinder. The feeding push plate is connected to the feeding cylinder. The clip slides down to the feeding trough with the large end facing downward and is in a horizontal state. At this time, the large end of the clip is close to one end of the conveying device (if the clip slides down to the feeding trough with the small end facing downward and is in a horizontal state, the small end of the clip is close to one end of the conveying device). The feeding push plate pushes the small end of the clip to push the clip horizontally onto the conveying device. At this time, the clips of the conveying device are arranged one by one in front and back, and the large ends and small ends of the front and back adjacent clips are in a staggered state. Since the feeding devices are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying device in a staggered state of one front and one back, the clips are arranged one by one in front and back, and the feeding push plate pushes the small end of the clip to push the clip onto the conveying device each time. At this time, the large ends and small ends of the front and back adjacent clips are in a staggered state. The feeding trough is a V-shaped groove, and the inclined wall of the V-shaped groove facilitates the clip to slide down and lie in a horizontal state.

[0023] The conveying device includes a conveyor belt, a conveyor push plate and a conveyor cylinder. The feeding device is located at one end of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor push plate is located at the other end of the conveyor belt. The conveyor push plate is connected to the conveyor cylinder. The length of the conveyor push plate is the length that can push 5 clips at the same time, that is, the length of the conveyor push plate is equal to the distance of the 5 clips arranged together front and back. The 5 clips are pushed to the transfer device at one time through the conveyor push plate. The five clips are sent to the front end of the transfer slide in a cross-arranged state. The conveyor belt is connected to the corresponding motor, and the motor drives the conveyor to rotate to transfer the clips. The width of the clip inlet and outlet between the conveyor slide and the conveyor belt is equal to the length of the conveyor push plate, that is, the width of the clip inlet and outlet between the conveyor slide and the conveyor belt is equal to the distance of the 5 clips arranged together front and back. A clip baffle is provided at the clip outlet between the conveyor slide and the conveyor belt, and the clip baffle is connected to the corresponding baffle cylinder, and the baffle cylinder can push and pull the clip baffle. The clip baffle can prevent the clip from falling off when it is transferred to the end of the conveyor belt, and can also prevent the clip behind from pushing and affecting the operation of the rectangular gripper when the rectangular gripper frames the clip. The baffle cylinder is located below the clip baffle, and the clip baffle is pulled up and down by the baffle cylinder. When the clip baffle is pushed onto the conveying slide, it is in the closed state, which can prevent the clip from being transferred to the conveying slide. When the clip baffle is pushed under the conveying slide, it is in the open state, which allows the clip to be transferred to the conveying slide. The clip baffle can be controlled to close and open by the cylinder.

[0024] The transfer device includes a conveying slide, a rectangular gripper, a rectangular gripper cylinder and a rodless cylinder. The rectangular gripper is a rectangular frame that can accommodate multiple clips. The rodless cylinder is set above the conveying slide through a cylinder hanging plate. The rectangular gripper cylinder is connected to the rodless cylinder. The rectangular gripper is connected to the rectangular gripper cylinder. The clip is transferred to the transfer device through the conveying device, and then the rectangular gripper is used to frame the clip and slide the clip at the entrance of the conveying slide to the end of the conveying slide. Specifically, the rectangular gripper is controlled to move down and frame the clip by the rectangular gripper cylinder. The rectangular gripper cylinder is driven by the rodless cylinder to move along the conveying slide. The rectangular gripper also moves along the conveying slide to transfer the clip to the existing clip automatic packaging machine. Five clips are grouped together. When the conveying device pushes two groups of clips to the intermediate loading device respectively, the rectangular gripper moves down to frame the two groups of clips and slides them to the clip automatic packaging machine. The two groups of clips are arranged as a bag for packaging.

[0025] The control system includes a PLC, a sensor and a counter. The sensor and the counter are connected to the PLC respectively. The sensors are respectively arranged on the feeding device, the conveying device and the transfer device, and the counter is arranged on the conveying device. The sensor senses the existence of the clip and sends a signal to the PLC. The PLC controls the corresponding cylinder to transfer the clip and counts it through the counter. For example, when the number of clips reaches 5, the PLC controls the conveying cylinder to push the 5 clips to the transfer device through the conveying push plate. Specifically, after the clip falls onto the V-groove, the sensor senses the clip and pushes the clip onto the conveyor belt under the force of the feeding cylinder. The conveyor belt is controlled by the motor and the PLC program to perform interval movement and transfer the clip to the end of the conveyor belt. Then it is sensed by the sensor and counted by the PLC counter. When the count reaches five, a signal is given to the transmission cylinder and the baffle cylinder at the same time. The cylinders start working after receiving the signals respectively. The baffle cylinder moves the clip baffle away, so that the clip outlet is in an open state. The transmission cylinder pushes the clip to the transfer device through the transmission push plate. After the sensor on the transfer device senses, it sends a signal to the rectangular gripper, and the rectangular gripper starts to move downward to frame and fix the clip. Then the rodless cylinder drives the clip forward to the conveyor belt of the packaging machine, completing a workflow.
