Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of packaging equipment, with the continuous expansion of production scale and the intensification of product diversification, the demand for precise positioning and multi-functional integration of materials has become more urgent. The existing loading and positioning equipment can hardly meet the complex production process.

[0003] In terms of positioning, traditional mechanisms are mostly single-direction or low-precision single-axis positioning. In the packaging process, the material needs to be co-positioned in the X-axis and Y-axis directions to ensure the accuracy and aesthetics of the packaging. However, existing mechanisms are difficult to meet such high-precision and multi-dimensional positioning requirements, which can easily lead to errors in subsequent packaging processes and affect packaging quality.

In addition, "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, it can be a mechanical connection, it can be an electrical connection, it can be a direct connection, it can be connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the material loading and positioning device of the present invention includes a Y-axis positioning mechanism 10 and an X-axis positioning mechanism 20, which positions the material in the Y-axis direction and the X-axis direction to ensure the subsequent packaging accuracy.

[0038] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The Y-axis positioning mechanism 10 includes a roller conveying module 11, a first lifting module 12 and a first clamping module 13. The roller conveying module includes a plurality of equally spaced conveying rollers 111 and a rotating motor driven by the conveying rollers 111. The rotating motor drives the plurality of conveying rollers 111 to roll through a transmission belt to drive the material to feed along the X-axis. The first lifting module 12 includes a first lifting frame 121 disposed at the bottom of the conveying roller 111 and a first roller group 122 disposed at the upper end of the first lifting frame 121. The first roller group 122 includes a mounting frame 1221 and a plurality of guide wheels 1222 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 1221. When the first lifting frame 121 rises, the guide wheels 1222 protrude from the upper end surface of the roller conveying module 11. The first lifting frame 121 is provided with a cylinder, and the first roller group 122 is spaced apart from the conveying roller 111. The first clamping module 13 includes two sets of first movable arms 131 arranged opposite to each other and a first driving module 132 drivingly connected to the first movable arms 131. The first driving module 132 adopts a motor and a transmission belt. The two sets of first movable arms 131 are respectively connected to the two sides of the transmission belt. The motor drives the transmission belt to rotate to drive the two sets of first movable arms 131 to move toward each other along the Y axis. At the same time, the relative inner sides of the two sets of first movable arms 131 are provided with clamping plates 133, which are used to expand the contact area to facilitate clamping of materials.

[0039] During operation, the material is placed on the roller conveyor module 11. When it moves a certain distance, the cylinder drives the first lifting frame 121 and the first roller group 122 to move upward, thereby lifting the material and separating it from the conveying roller 111; the two groups of first movable arms 131 approach each other along the Y-axis until the material is clamped. During this period, the material is lifted by the first roller group 122 and can move on the first roller group 122 at the same time, finally realizing the positioning of the material in the Y-axis direction. After positioning is completed, the first lifting frame 121 descends, and the material falls onto the conveying roller 111 and continues to be fed.

[0040] Specifically, the roller conveying module 11 also includes a material blocking assembly 14 arranged on the discharge side, and the material blocking assembly 14 includes a lifting cylinder 141 and a baffle 142. The lifting cylinder 141 drives the baffle 142 to move up to block the material. When the material is positioned on the Y axis, the baffle 142 rises to block the material. After the positioning is completed, the baffle 142 descends, and the material continues to feed and enters the X-axis positioning mechanism 20. The roller conveying module 11 is provided with a first sensor module 15 at both ends along the conveying direction. The first sensor module 15 uses a laser sensor to sense the material entering or leaving the Y-axis positioning mechanism 10.

[0041] See also Figure 5 The X-axis positioning mechanism 20 includes a belt conveying module 21, a second lifting module 22 and a second clamping module 23. The belt conveying module 21 includes a plurality of equally spaced conveying belts 211, and a plurality of driving shafts are arranged inside the conveying belts 211. The driving shafts are driven by a motor and a transmission belt to rotate to drive the conveying belts 211 to move along the X-axis, so as to drive the materials to feed along the X-axis. The second lifting module 22 includes a second lifting frame 221 disposed at the bottom of the belt conveying module 21 and a plurality of second roller groups 222 disposed at the upper end of the second lifting frame 221. The second roller group 222 includes a mounting frame 1221 and a plurality of guide wheels 1222 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 1221. When the second lifting frame 221 rises, the guide wheels 1222 protrude from the upper end surface of the belt conveying module 21. The second lifting frame 221 is provided with a cylinder, and the second roller group 222 is spaced apart from the conveying belt 211. The second clamping module 23 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged second movable arms 231 and a second driving module 232 drivingly connected to the second movable arms 231. The second driving module 232 uses a motor and a transmission belt. The two sets of second movable arms 231 are respectively connected to the two sides of the transmission belt. The motor drives the transmission belt to rotate to drive the two sets of second movable arms 231 to move toward each other, and drive the two sets of second movable arms 231 to be relatively close along the X-axis. Second sensor modules 24 are provided on both sides of the belt conveying module 21. The first sensor module 15 uses a visual sensor to sense the position of the material in the X-axis positioning mechanism 20.

[0042] During operation, the material enters the belt conveyor module 21. When it moves a certain distance, the cylinder drives the second lifting frame 221 and the second roller group 222 to move upward, thereby lifting the material and separating it from the belt conveyor module 21; the two sets of second movable arms 231 approach each other along the X-axis until the material is clamped. During this period, the material is lifted by the second roller group 222 and can move on the second roller group 222 at the same time, finally realizing the positioning of the material in the X-axis direction. After positioning is completed, the second lifting frame 221 descends, and the material falls onto the belt conveyor module 21 and continues to be fed.

[0043] See also Figure 6The feeding and positioning device of the present invention also includes a desiccant feeding mechanism 30. For the finished strip structure formed by connecting multiple packages of desiccant, the desiccant feeding mechanism 30 includes a desiccant guide track 31, a shearing module 32, a clamping module 33 and a feeding manipulator 34. The shearing module 32, the clamping module 33 and the feeding manipulator 34 are all arranged at the end of the desiccant guide track 31; the shearing module 32 adopts pneumatic scissors, and the clamping module 33 adopts pneumatic claws; the feeding manipulator 34 includes a Y-axis driving module 341, an X-axis driving module 342, a Z-axis driving module 343 and a clamping module 344, and the Y-axis driving module 341, the X-axis driving module 342, and the Z-axis driving module 343 drive the clamping module 344 to move. Specifically, an arc-shaped guide plate is provided at one end of the desiccant guide rail away from the shearing module 32 to guide the feeding of the desiccant.

[0044] During operation, the strip-shaped desiccant is placed in the guide track, the clamping module 33 clamps one end of the desiccant, and pulls the desiccant out of the desiccant guide track 31. When the desiccant is pulled out by a preset distance, the shearing module 32 shears and separates the desiccant. At the same time, the clamping module 344 of the feeding manipulator 34 clamps the sheared desiccant, and moves it to the preset delivery position through the Y-axis driving module 341, the X-axis driving module 342, and the Z-axis driving module 343. Finally, the clamping module 33 is released to deliver the desiccant. The shearing and delivery of the desiccant are completed automatically, which reduces the personnel cost and improves the delivery accuracy.

[0045] See also Figure 6 The material loading and positioning device of the present invention further includes a labeling mechanism 40. The labeling mechanism 40 includes a material storage tank 41, a material pushing module 42, and a label suction module 43; the material storage tank 41 includes a discharge end, the material pushing module 42 is arranged at one end of the material storage tank 41 away from the discharge end, and the label suction module 43 is arranged at the discharge end of the material storage tank 41; the label suction module 43 includes a lifting seat 431, a telescopic cylinder 432 fixed on the lifting seat 431, a flip plate 433 hinged to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 432, and a label suction head 434 fixed on the flip plate 433, and the telescopic cylinder 432 can drive the flip plate 433 to flip when it is extended.

[0046] During operation, the telescopic cylinder 432 drives the flip plate 433 to flip so that the label suction head 434 faces the discharge end of the storage trough 41 to absorb the label; then the lifting seat 431 descends and approaches the product, and the telescopic cylinder 432 drives the flip plate 433 to flip so that the label faces the product, and finally the label suction head 434 releases the label to complete labeling.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the loading and positioning equipment involved in the present invention is provided with a Y-axis positioning mechanism 10 and an X-axis positioning mechanism 20, which coordinately positions the material in the X-axis and Y-axis directions to ensure the accuracy and aesthetics of subsequent packaging; at the same time, by setting a lifting module and a clamping module, the material is taken away by the lifting module, and the material is clamped by the clamping module to achieve positioning. After positioning, the material falls into the conveying mechanism for continued transmission. It integrates multiple structures, has both positioning and loading functions, and the operating steps are reasonably connected and compact. At the same time, the structure is compact, which reduces the occupied space.

[0048] The above only expresses the preferred technical solution of the present invention, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
