[0002] At present, with the continuous development of the logistics industry, goods usually need to be packaged with strapping tape before transportation. With the promotion of automatic packaging technology, balers with automatic packaging function are widely used. In the process of packaging goods, corner guards need to be placed to cooperate with strapping tape for packaging. However, for placing corner guards on the top of the goods, due to the high height, the labor intensity of manually placing corner guards is relatively high.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113443235A discloses a packaging device with an automatic corner guard feeding function and a control method thereof, which uses a storage rack to store corner guards and automatically feed corner guards by configuring a feeding module, and then the fed corner guards are clamped by a clamping module to automatically place them on the corners of the goods for bundling. However, due to the use of a single storage rack, in order to store a sufficient number of corner guards, the overall height of the storage rack is relatively high. Chinese Patent Announcement No. CN220616314U discloses a short corner guard double-bin feeding device, which uses two bins, and the two bins are arranged directly above a pushing mechanism, and the pushing mechanism is used to automatically output and feed the corner guards in the two bins in turn.

[0024] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a corner protection feeding device, comprising: A silo mechanism 1, the silo mechanism 1 comprises a support member 11 and a transfer carrier 12, the transfer carrier 12 is formed with a carrier portion 121 for stacking corner protectors, the transfer carrier 12 is configured to be separated from the support member 11, fill the corner protectors in the carrier portion 121, and then transfer them to the support member 11, and the transfer carrier 12 is detachably arranged on the support member 11; The pushing mechanism 2 includes a driving component 21 and a pushing component 22 . The pushing component 22 is configured to be driven by the driving component 21 to output the corner guard in the bearing portion 121 from the discharge port 111 .

[0026] Specifically, the present application provides a corner guard feeding device, which contains corner guards through a silo mechanism 1, and pushes out the corner guards in the silo mechanism 1 through a push-pull component in the push mechanism 2. The corner guards in the silo mechanism 1 are stored in the bearing portion 121 of the transfer carrier 12, and under the pushing action of the push component 22, the corner guards in the bearing portion 121 of the transfer carrier 12 can be pushed out one by one.

[0027] Wherein, a discharge port 111 may be correspondingly provided on the support component 11 or the transfer carrier 12 as required, so as to meet the requirements of the corner guard output through the discharge port 111. The following description is made by taking the discharge port 111 provided on the support component 11 as an example.

[0028] The corner guard at the discharge port 111 in the bearing part 121 can be discharged from the discharge port 111 under the pushing action of the pushing component 22. The structural form and driving method of driving the push-pull component to move back and forth through the pushing mechanism 2 through the driving component 21 to realize the conveying of the corner guard from the discharge port 111 can adopt the structural form and driving method in the prior art, which will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0029] Among them, for the silo mechanism 1, the corner protectors stored in the silo mechanism 1 will be used up after being used for a period of time. At this time, it is necessary to replenish and fill the silo mechanism 1 with new corner protectors. The silo mechanism 1 in the present application adopts a split structure, that is, the transfer carrier 12 can be removed from the support component 11. In this way, in actual use, when the corner protectors in the silo mechanism 1 are used up, the operator can directly remove the transfer carrier 12 from the support component 11, and then place the transfer carrier 12 on the ground or the operating table to quickly fill the corner protectors.

[0030] Since the transport carrier 12 can be removed from the support member 11, when filling the corner protector, the operator does not need to climb up to the strapping machine to fill the corner protector online. After the transport carrier 12 is removed, the corner protector can be quickly filled offline to reduce the difficulty of filling the corner protector.

[0031] Normally, in order to increase the storage capacity of the corner protectors, the corner protectors are stored at a higher height. Conventional technology requires that the corner protectors be filled to a certain height on the packaging production line of the strapping machine to meet the storage capacity requirement. However, the silo mechanism 1 in the present application, when filling the corner protectors, disassembles the transfer carrier 12 and leaves the strapping machine to achieve the offline filling of the corner protectors into the transfer carrier 12. Moreover, according to the overall height of the transfer carrier 12, the transfer carrier 12 can be laid flat to fill the corner protectors, or the transfer carrier 12 can be erected to fill the corner protectors, so as to meet the operator's requirements for convenient operation.

[0032] At the same time, for on-site use, in order to reduce downtime, two transfer carriers 12 can be configured for the support component 11, so that when the corner guards in the transfer carrier 12 assembled on the support component 11 are used up, the empty transfer carrier 12 can be disassembled and directly replaced with the transfer carrier 12 filled with corner guards to improve the efficiency of filling the corner guards. For the disassembled empty transfer carrier 12, the operator can fill the corner guards during the normal operation of the strapping machine to meet continuous production while providing the operator with more time to fill the corner guards, thereby improving the production rhythm while simplifying the rhythm of the operator filling the corner guards, which is more conducive to reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0033] In one embodiment, a supporting portion 122 is provided at the bottom of the transfer carrier 12, and the supporting portion 122 is configured to be selectively arranged at the bottom of the bearing portion 121 and to support the corner guard in the bearing portion 121 when located at the bottom of the supporting portion 122.

[0034] Specifically, since the transfer carrier 12 needs to be disassembled from the support component 11 to fill the corner guard offline during the process of filling the corner guard, after the corner guard is filled in the bearing portion 121, in the process of reassembling the transfer carrier 12 to the support component 11, in order to prevent the corner guard from falling off from the bottom of the supporting portion 122 due to gravity from the bearing portion 121, a supporting portion 122 may be provided at the bottom of the transfer carrier 12. The supporting portion 122 may be arranged at the bottom of the bearing portion 121 to support the corner guard filled in the bearing portion 121 during the process of filling the corner guard and moving the transfer carrier 12 fully loaded with the corner guard, so as to meet the transfer carrier 12 in the process of meeting the corner guard transportation, and support the corner guard through the supporting portion 122 to prevent the corner guard from falling off from the bottom of the bearing portion 121.

[0035] In some embodiments, in order to meet the requirement of arranging the supporting portion 122 at the bottom of the carrying portion 121 as needed, there are multiple installation methods between the supporting portion 122 and the transfer carrier 12 .

[0036] For example, the supporting portion 122 is detachably arranged on the transfer carrier 12. Specifically, the supporting portion 122 is detachably installed on the transfer carrier 12, that is, the transfer carrier 12 is removed from the supporting component 11, and when the supporting portion 122 is assembled to the transfer carrier 12 and placed at the bottom of the supporting portion 122 during the process of offline filling of the corner guard. After the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the supporting component 11, the supporting portion 122 can be removed from the transfer carrier 12. There can be many types of entities in which the supporting portion 122 is detachably installed, such as the supporting portion 122 can be a detachable structure such as a latch, a plug plate, etc. to meet the requirements of use, which is not limited here.

[0037] For example: the supporting portion 122 can be movably arranged on the transfer carrier 12. Specifically, the supporting portion 122 can be movable on the transfer carrier 12 to adjust the position of the supporting portion 122 as needed. The transfer carrier 12 is removed from the supporting component 11, and the supporting portion 122 is adjusted to the bottom of the supporting portion 122 during the process of offline filling of the corner guard. After the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the support component 11, the supporting portion 122 can be removed from the bottom of the supporting portion 122. The movable installation method of the supporting portion 122 can adopt conventional methods such as rotation or sliding, such as: the supporting portion 122 can be a rotating pallet, or the supporting portion 122 is a sliding lever structure to meet the requirements of use, which is not limited here.

[0038] In some embodiments, the bottom of the bearing portion 121 can support the corner guard through the supporting portion 122. For the top, in order to compress the corner guard located in the bearing portion 121 to ensure the transportation reliability during the transportation process, the silo mechanism 1 further includes a pressing component 13, and the pressing component 13 is arranged on the top of the supporting component 11; The clamping assembly 13 includes a mounting seat 131, a pressure rod 132 and a pressing member 133. The pressure rod 132 is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 131, and the pressing member 133 is disposed at a free end of the pressure rod 132. The pressing member 133 is configured to press the corner protector between the pressing member 133 and the supporting portion 122 .

[0039] Specifically, when filling the corner guard into the bearing portion 121, the supporting portion 122 is first placed at the bottom of the bearing portion 121, and the pressing rod 132 at the top of the transfer bearing 12 is tilted upward to make the lower pressing piece 133 leave the squeezing position. After a set number of corner guards are filled in the bearing portion 121, the pressing rod 132 is rotated to make the lower pressing piece 133 press on the top corner guard, so that the corner guards in the bearing portion 121 can be sandwiched between the supporting portion 122 and the lower pressing piece 133.

[0040] In order to effectively press down the corner guard, the pressing member 133 can be designed to match the upper surface profile of the corner guard, or the two ends of the pressing member 133 are provided with pressing blocks to press on the two side surfaces of the corner guard respectively. For example, the clamping assembly 13 can use a quick clamp in conventional technology to realize its specific function, which is not limited here.

[0041] In another embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the silo mechanism further includes a pressing block 30 , and the pressing block 30 is slidably disposed in the transfer carrier 3 .

[0042] Specifically, the corner guards are loaded into the transfer carrier 3. During the transportation of the transfer carrier 3 in an upright position, the pressing block 30 will press on the corner guards at the top so that the stacked corner guards are pressed together to improve the reliability during the transportation process.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present application, a mounting portion 112 is provided on the support component 11, and a mounting matching portion 123 is provided on the transfer carrier 12. The transfer carrier 12 is mounted on the support component 11 through the mounting matching portion 123 and the mounting portion 112.

[0044] Specifically, since the transfer carrier 12 needs to be easily disassembled from the support component 11, it also needs to be easily reassembled to the support component 11. To this end, a mounting portion 112 is provided on the support component 11, and correspondingly, a mounting matching portion 123 is provided on the transfer carrier 12. During use, the mounting portion 112 is connected with the mounting matching portion 123 to achieve the assembly of the transfer carrier 12 to the support component 11.

[0045] There are various structural methods for realizing quick disassembly and assembly of the mounting portion 112 and the mounting matching portion 123, for example: the mounting portion 112 is a hook arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a hook arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the hook is suspended on the hook; or, the mounting portion 112 is a slot arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a snap-in protrusion arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the snap-in protrusion is snapped in the slot; or, the mounting portion 112 is a slot arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a snap-in protrusion arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the snap-in protrusion is snapped in the slot; or, the mounting portion 112 is a first lap plate arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a second lap plate arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the second lap plate is overlapped on the first lap plate.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present application, the support component 11 includes a support mounting plate 113 and a plurality of support partitions 114, wherein the plurality of support partitions 114 are arranged side by side on the support mounting plate 113, and a mounting groove 110 is formed between two adjacent support partitions 114; the support mounting plate 113 is provided with the discharge port 111; The transfer carrier 12 is detachably disposed in the mounting groove 110 , the driving component 21 is disposed on the supporting mounting plate 113 , and the pushing component 22 can reciprocate in the discharge port 111 .

[0047] Specifically, for the support component 11, the support mounting plate 113 is used as the main support component, and the support mounting plate 113 is correspondingly provided with a discharge port 111. In order to facilitate the accurate and reliable installation of the transfer carrier 12 on the support component 11, a plurality of support partitions 114 are further provided on the support mounting plate 113, and the plurality of support partitions 114 are installed and fixed on the support mounting plate 113 in a manner substantially perpendicular to the support mounting plate 113, and a mounting groove 110 is formed between two adjacent support partitions 114.

[0048] When installing the transfer carrier 12 on the supporting component 11, the transfer carrier 12 will be placed in the installation groove 110 for positioning, and then limited by the connection between the installation part 112 and the installation matching part 123, so that the transfer carrier 12 can be assembled into place quickly and accurately.

[0049] In certain embodiments, the silo mechanism 1 may be configured with a plurality of discharge ports 111, and correspondingly, each discharge port 111 is configured with an independent transfer carrier 12 during use to meet the requirements of corner protection supply. For example: the support mounting plate 113 is provided with three support partitions 114 arranged side by side, and a mounting groove 110 is formed between each two adjacent support partitions 114 to meet the installation requirements of the corresponding transfer carrier 12. As for two adjacent transfer carriers 12, they can be further connected after being assembled to the support component 11, for example: a positioning seat 126 is provided on the transfer carrier 12, and a pin shaft hole is provided on the positioning seat 126, and a positioning pin 127 is inserted between two adjacent positioning seats 126 for further positioning and installation connection.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, for the transfer carrier 12, the side of the carrier portion 121 formed therein may be a semi-enclosed structure or a fully-enclosed structure.

[0051] Specifically, the transfer carrier 12 includes a first support frame 124 and two first side plates 125 . The two first side plates 125 are arranged opposite to each other and are set on the first support frame 124 . The bearing portion 121 is formed between the first support frame 124 and the two first side plates 125 .

[0052] Specifically, the first support frame 124 serves as a support member for the transport carrier 12, and first side plates 125 are provided on both sides of the first support frame 124, and a bearing portion 121 is formed between the first side plates 125 and the first support frame 124. One side of the bearing portion 121 is an open structure, i.e., a semi-enclosed structure. In this way, it is convenient for operators to quickly put the corner guard in from the open structure.

[0053] Wherein, after the transfer carrier 12 is installed on the supporting component 11 , a feeding channel is formed between the carrying portion 121 and the supporting component 11 , and the feeding channel is configured to transport the corner guard in the carrying portion 121 .

[0054] Specifically, since one side of the bearing portion 121 is an open structure, after the transfer bearing member 12 is assembled onto the supporting component 11, the open structure of the bearing portion 121 is covered by the supporting mounting plate 113 of the supporting component 11 to form a feeding channel for conveying the corner guard.

[0055] Alternatively, the transfer carrier 12 includes a second support frame and a panel, the cross-section of the panel is a U-shaped structure, and two side portions of the panel are respectively arranged on the second support frame; the load-bearing portion 121 is formed between the second support frame and the panel.

[0056] Specifically, the second support frame serves as a support member for the transfer support member 12, and a panel is arranged on the second support frame, and a support portion 121 is formed between the panel and the second support frame. The support portion 121 forms a fully enclosed structure. In this way, when filling the corner guard, the operator can insert the corner guard into the support portion 121 from the top of the support portion 121 to complete the filling operation of the corner guard.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, for the silo mechanism 1, the discharge port 111 configured therein can be arranged at the top to achieve top discharge; or, the discharge port 111 can be arranged at the bottom of the silo mechanism 1 to achieve bottom discharge.

[0058] Specifically, the discharge port 111 is arranged at the bottom of the support component 11 or the bottom of the transfer carrier 12, and the pushing mechanism 2 is arranged at the bottom of the support component 11. During use, the corner guard in the silo mechanism 1 can move toward the discharge port 111 at the bottom by its own gravity, and then the corner guard located at the discharge port 111 is pushed out of the discharge port 111 by the pushing mechanism 2 arranged at the bottom.

[0059] Alternatively, the discharge port 111 is arranged at the top of the support component 11 or the top of the transfer carrier 12, the pushing mechanism 2 is arranged at the top of the support component 11, and the support component 11 is also provided with a lifting component, and the lifting component is configured to lift the corner guard in the bearing part 121 upward. During use, after the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the support component 11, the lifting component provided on the support component 11 will support the corner guard at the bottom, and the lifting component can drive the corner guard to move toward the upper discharge port 111, and then the corner guard located at the discharge port 111 is pushed out of the discharge port 111 through the pushing mechanism 2 arranged at the bottom.

[0060] Among them, the lifting component can be slidably arranged on the support component 11 up and down, and the driving method of the lifting component can be driven by a conventional motor method (such as a motor drives a synchronous belt to drive the lifting component to slide on the support component 11 through the synchronous belt); or, the lifting component can use a counterweight component to drive it to rise, such as the configuration component in patent publication No. CN113443235A drives the sliding bearing member (equivalent to the lifting component) to drive the corner guard to move upward.

[0061] Based on the above-mentioned corner guard feeding device, the present application also provides a corner guard filling method, including removing the transfer carrier from the supporting component, filling the corner guard offline with the transfer carrier away from the supporting component, and assembling the transfer carrier filled with the corner guard onto the supporting component.

[0062] Specifically, after the corner protectors in the transfer carrier 12 are used up, the transfer carrier 12 is removed from the supporting component 11 , the corner protectors are installed into the transfer carrier 12 , and then the transfer carrier 12 equipped with the corner protectors is reassembled onto the supporting component 11 .

[0063] Specifically, the above-mentioned corner guard filling method can effectively reduce the operating difficulty because when filling the corner guard, the transfer carrier 12 is removed from the corner guard feeding device installed on the strapping machine, and the corner guard is filled in an offline manner without the supporting component 11. It solves the technical problem that the operator has to climb up to fill the corner guard, which makes the operation difficult and increases the safety risk of the operator, and improves the operating efficiency of filling the corner guard.

[0064] Preferably, the silo mechanism 1 is equipped with a plurality of transfer carriers 12. The corner guard filling method specifically comprises: filling the disassembled transfer carrier with corner guards in advance, and after the corner guards in the transfer carrier installed on the support component are used up, the empty transfer carrier is disassembled from the support component, and the fully loaded transfer carrier with corner guards is assembled on the support component.

[0065] Specifically, by configuring a plurality of transfer carriers 12, the disassembled transfer carriers 12 can be pre-filled with corner protectors. Thus, when the corner protectors in the transfer carriers 12 used on the bundling production line are used up, the unloaded transfer carriers 12 on the line can be disassembled and directly replaced with the transfer carriers 12 fully loaded with corner protectors to improve the efficiency of filling the corner protectors.

[0066] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the present invention further provides a strapping machine, comprising a frame 100, and a baling head 200, a packaging chute 300 and a clamping module 400 arranged on the frame 100, wherein the baling head 200 and the packaging chute 300 form a packaging area, and the clamping module 400 comprises a carrier frame 410, a telescopic mechanism 420 and a picking component 430, and also comprises the above-mentioned corner guard feeding device, wherein the corner guard feeding device is arranged on the frame 100 and arranged on one side of the clamping module 400, and the picking component 430 is configured to pick up the corner guard pushed out by the corner guard feeding device and place it on the goods to be packaged.

[0067] Specifically, the baler head 200 conveys the strapping tape around the goods through the packaging chute 300 and completes the process of bundling and packing the goods. A conventional baler can be used, which is not limited or elaborated herein.

[0068] A corner guard feeding device is arranged on the frame 100 to supply the corner guard. After the corner guard is pushed out, the telescopic mechanism 420 drives the picking component 430 to move to the corner guard and pick up the corner guard. Then, the telescopic mechanism 420 drives the corner guard to move to the goods to be packaged, so that the corner guard is attached to the goods and tightened to the surface of the goods by the strapping belt.

[0069] For the clamping module 400, conventional automatic corner guard clamping equipment can be used, wherein the telescopic mechanism 420 can use conventional components such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, and the picking component 430 can use conventional components such as a suction cup or a clamp, and there is no limitation here.

[0070] Furthermore, the corner guard feeding devices are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame 100 , and the frame 100 is also provided with a clamping module 400 matching with the corner guard feeding devices.

[0071] Another embodiment of the present application also provides a packaging production line, such as Fig.10 As shown, it includes a conveyor line 500 and the above-mentioned strapping machine; The conveyor line is configured to convey the goods to be bundled to the strapping machine and to output the goods bundled by the strapping machine from the strapping machine.

[0072] Specifically, in actual use, the goods are transported and moved by the conveyor line 500, and the goods on the conveyor line 500 are moved to the strapping machine for corner protection and strapping and packaging. Moreover, the goods after the strapping and packaging process are further transported to the next workstation through the conveyor line 500.

[0073] According to the requirements of the strapping process, a plurality of strapping machines may be distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 500, so that the requirements of upper corner protection and strapping and packaging can be met by different strapping machines.

[0074] Taking three strapping machines arranged on the conveyor line 500 as an example, corner guard feeding devices are arranged on both sides of each strapping machine to supply corner guards, and the downtime of the packaging production line of the present application is compared with that of the packaging production line in the prior art to illustrate.

[0075] In the prior art, the corner protectors are filled manually on the packaging production line. It takes about 4 minutes to fill the corner protectors on one side online. One strapping machine needs to be stopped for 8 minutes to fill the corner protectors, and three strapping machines need to be stopped for 32 minutes. Generally, the filling amount of the corner protectors can meet the needs of 1 hour of continuous packaging production. In this way, it is necessary to continuously produce for one hour and stop for half an hour to fill the corner protectors.

[0076] In the packaging production line provided by the present application, the corner protectors are pre-filled offline. Therefore, the time required for filling the corner protectors online on one side is about 1 minute, and the three strapping machines need to be shut down for 6 minutes. In this way, it is necessary to continuously produce for one hour and shut down for 6 minutes to fill the corner protectors. This can effectively shorten the downtime and improve the packaging production efficiency.

[0077] The above time calculation is only the theoretical time that the goods need to be packaged and produced continuously, and no limitation is made here.

[0078] The present invention provides a corner guard feeding device, a strapping machine, a packaging production line and a corner guard filling method. By setting a silo mechanism as a split structure, the corner guard is filled in the bearing part of a transfer carrier. The transfer carrier is arranged on a supporting component so that the corner guard in the bearing part is supplied to a discharge port on the supporting component. Then, the corner guard at the discharge port is pushed out by a pushing mechanism to meet the requirement of supplying the corner guard outward. When the corner guard needs to be filled, the transfer carrier can be disassembled from the supporting component to realize the filling of the corner guard into the bearing part of the transfer carrier separately offline. On the one hand, the operator does not need to climb up to fill the corner guard online. On the other hand, the disassembled transfer carrier can be laid flat to facilitate the operator to quickly fill the corner guard. In actual use, multiple transfer carriers can be configured for the same supporting component to realize the direct assembly of the transfer carrier fully loaded with corner guards onto the supporting component after the empty transfer carrier is removed, so as to maximize the operating efficiency of filling the corner guard.
