Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the fields of building materials, metallurgy, chemicals and other industries, the automated loading technology of bagged materials has long faced technical bottlenecks. The current mainstream operation mode still relies on manual handling, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Especially in the case of high-dust materials, the working environment poses a significant health hazard to operators.

[0003] The invention patent with publication number CN108483052A discloses a continuous automatic loading and stacking system for material packages, which realizes the stacking and loading of material packages through mechanical structure adjustment. Its core defect is the lack of automatic centering capability: after the system measures the initial position of the carriage through sensors, it can only adjust the position of the palletizer through fixed mechanical structures such as horizontal belt trolleys and swing hangers, but cannot detect its posture and position deviation in real time during the material package transportation process. The material package can only achieve vertical / horizontal switching through baffles and push plates in the package guide assembly, and lacks the ability to dynamically compensate for lateral and longitudinal offsets, resulting in a significant increase in the risk of inter-layer misalignment during stacking. At the same time, the material package follows a parabolic trajectory during the falling process, resulting in an excessively large horizontal velocity component, which is prone to lateral sliding or rolling, and ultimately leads to problems such as stack skew and collapse, affecting loading efficiency and safety.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1-14An automatic loading machine shown in the figure comprises two I-shaped rails 100, a traveling frame 200 capable of autonomous horizontal displacement relative to the I-shaped rails 100, a main conveying line 300 and a hinged slope conveying line 400 are fixed on the traveling frame 200, the main conveying line 300 and the slope conveying line 400 are connected end to end, the tail end of the slope conveying line 400 is connected to a palletizer head 500, the palletizer head 500 can make the material bag 700 self-centering and achieve zero horizontal speed release, comprises a second cantilever bracket 501, the cantilever end of the second cantilever bracket 501 extends downward to form a fixed plate 502, an axially vertical head gear 503 is rotated below the fixed plate 502; a head rotary motor 504 is fixed above the fixed plate 502, the output shaft clearance of the head rotary motor 504 passes through the fixed plate 502 and is fixedly connected to a head pinion 505, the head pinion 505 is connected to the head gear The gear 503 is meshed; a box body 506 is fixedly connected below the large gear 503 of the machine head, and one side of the box body 506 is open as an inlet for the material bag 700; two split flaps 507 are hingedly connected at the lower ends of the box body 506 on both sides of the inlet; a first electric cylinder 508 with a vertical stroke is fixedly arranged on the box body 506 on the opposite side of the inlet, and the driving end of the first electric cylinder 508 is respectively hingedly connected to the upper ends of two first connecting rods 509, and the two first connecting rods The lower ends of 509 are hinged to the middle parts of the two flaps 507 respectively; when the first electric cylinder 508 returns, the two flaps 507 flip up to receive the material bags 700 entering the box body 506; when the first electric cylinder 508 moves out, the two flaps 507 flip down to throw out the material bags 700 thereon; when the two flaps 507 flip up to the extreme position, the receiving surface formed by the two flaps 507 is "V" shaped, and the angle is less than 180°.

[0036] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: 1. Bag conveying stage The main conveyor line is started: the material bags 700 are horizontally conveyed to the slope conveyor line 400 through the main conveyor line 300.

[0037] Slope transition: The slope conveyor line 400 is connected end to end with the main conveyor line 300, and the material bag 700 slides down along the slope and enters the box 506 of the palletizer head 500.

[0038] 2. Bag centering stage The flap is closed and received: the first electric cylinder 508 is in the return state, driving the two first connecting rods 509 to lift up, so that the split flap 507 is flipped up to the extreme position, forming a "V"-shaped receiving surface (angle <180°).

[0039] Geometric forced centering: the material bag 700 enters from the open side of the box body 506, slides along the inclined surface of the "V"-shaped flap 507 to the center position, and completes passive centering.

[0040] Dynamic posture correction: If the bag is offset, the first electric cylinder 508 will actively correct the bag's posture by fine-tuning the angle of the flap 507 (linkage linkage) to ensure that it is centered.

[0041] 3. Zero horizontal speed release stage The flaps are turned down to throw the bag: the first electric cylinder 508 moves out of the stroke, pushing the first connecting rod 509 downward, driving the two flaps 507 to turn down synchronously to a horizontal state.

[0042] Vertical free fall: After the flap 507 is fully deployed, the material bag 700 loses support and falls vertically into the vehicle compartment only under the action of gravity, and the horizontal velocity component is zero.

[0043] Trajectory constraint: The guide structure formed by the open side of the box 506 and the closed flap 507 ensures that the falling trajectory of the bag 700 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the carriage.

[0044] 4. Dynamic position adjustment stage Head position adjustment: Gear transmission: The head rotary motor 504 drives the head small gear 505 to rotate, driving the head large gear 503 and the box body 506 to rotate around the vertical axis to adjust the stacking direction.

[0045] Adapting to the position of the carriage: By rotating the box body 506, it is ensured that the material bag 700 falls accurately into the target area of ​​the carriage.

[0046] Horizontal displacement of walking frame: The traveling frame 200 moves autonomously along the I-shaped track 100, driving the main conveying line 300, the slope conveying line 400 and the palletizing head 500 to move horizontally as a whole, covering different palletizing positions in the length direction of the carriage.

[0047] 5. Cycle operation stage The flap is reset: the first electric cylinder 508 returns again, and the flap 507 turns up to restore the "V"-shaped receiving state, ready to receive the next bag.

[0048] Continuous palletizing: The traveling frame 200 moves horizontally and the head rotary motor 504 rotates in coordination to stack the bags layer by layer according to a preset stacking mode (such as a matrix or staggered mode).

[0049] Repeat the “transport-center-release” cycle until the entire carriage is loaded.
