Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the field of plastic film packaging, and specifically, it is an automatic plastic film packaging system. Background Art
[0002] The mixing, extrusion molding, cooling and solidification, traction stretching, and winding processes of agricultural plastic films have all been automated nowadays. However, after the plastic film is wound and taken off the production line, film sealing is still required to complete the final packaging of the plastic film. Currently, the packaging of plastic films mostly relies on manual labor, and the packaging of plastic films is completed by manual heat sealing. However, in the previous automated processing of plastic films, the processing efficiency is very high. For conventional-sized plastic films, usually one roll can be taken off the production line in just a few minutes, and the weight of the plastic film is relatively large. As a result, the packaging of plastic films has become a labor-intensive process, consuming a great deal of human resources.
[0003] Currently, there are also automatic bagging devices to achieve the packaging of plastic films. However, for plastic films of multiple specifications, the bag-changing time is relatively long, and continuous packaging operations for plastic films cannot be carried out. Overall, the packaging cost is not cost-effective compared with manual packaging.
[0004] Moreover, the current packaging equipment cannot achieve the continuity between the plastic film winding process and the packaging process. There is no strict standard for the production specifications of plastic films, and most of them are produced according to the required width and total length of customers, which results in a variety of complex packaging sizes for plastic films. When enterprises produce plastic films, usually multiple production lines start simultaneously, and plastic films of multiple specifications are produced at the same time. This easily leads to the inability to take into account the packaging due to the simultaneous production of multiple rolls of plastic films of different specifications, causing some specifications of plastic films to accumulate and unable to ensure the smooth and continuous production of plastic films. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the installation positions of the third baffle and / or the first baffle are adjustable, so that the distance between the third baffle and the first baffle is adjustable. Through this kind of structure design with adjustable spacing, it can be adjusted according to the diameter of the plastic film being produced on the production line, so that it can meet the requirements of alternate release of plastic films with different diameters.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0026] Combined with the attached Figures 1-9 and specific embodiments, the present invention will be further described. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by this application. Embodiment 1
[0027] As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an automatic plastic film packaging system. This system is connected after the plastic film winding equipment and is used to receive and transfer the wound plastic film and package it through the packaging equipment. The transfer device of the plastic film uses an AGV transfer vehicle 2. There are multiple workstations on the AGV transfer vehicle 2 as storage positions for plastic films of different diameter specifications, which can meet the packaging and transfer requirements when plastic films of different specifications are produced synchronously.
[0028] Specifically, this system mainly includes the following parts: The material transfer structure 1; used to transfer the plastic film that has been wound and placed on the receiving platform to the AGV transfer vehicle.
[0029] The AGV transfer vehicle 2; used to receive the plastic film, classify and store plastic films of different specifications, and at the same time complete the transfer of the plastic film from the winding equipment to the packaging equipment.
[0030] The unloading structure 5; used to transfer the plastic film from the AGV transfer vehicle 2 to the packaging equipment and wait for the packaging by the packaging equipment.
[0031] The packaging machine 6; used to perform film covering packaging on plastic films of the same specification, and through the heat shrinkage process, the packaging film can completely cover the plastic film. At the same time, the temperature is strictly controlled to ensure that while realizing the film covering packaging of the plastic film, the plastic film itself is not damaged.
[0032] The material transfer structure: As the first step of this system, the material transfer structure 1 can adopt a flap device or a material taking manipulator. Among them, the flap device has a simple structure and low cost. The present invention preferably uses the flap device to transfer the plastic film. Specifically, the flap device includes an inclined loading platform 11. A first baffle 14 driven by a cylinder is arranged at the end of the loading platform 11. The first baffle 14 is used to limit and block the wound plastic film. Lifting cylinders are symmetrically installed at both ends of the first baffle 14. When the lifting cylinders drive the first baffle 14 to rise, the plastic film can continue to slide downstream on the inclined loading platform 11. A transfer flap 12 is installed downstream of the loading platform 11. The downstream of the transfer flap 12 is hinged to the frame body. The bottom of the transfer flap 12 is hinged to the frame body through a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder serves as a turning cylinder 13 to drive the transfer flap 12. When the turning cylinder 13 is in a contracted state, the transfer flap 12 presents a horizontal state, and the front side of the transfer flap 12 is at the same height as the end of the loading platform 11. When the turning cylinder 13 is in an extended state, the transfer flap 12 is in an inclined state, and the plastic film falls on the inclined transfer flap 12 and falls onto the AGV transfer vehicle 2 for loading.
[0033] Furthermore, in order to prevent the plastic film on the transfer flap 12 from rolling onto the ground after falling from the loading platform 11, a second baffle 15 is installed at the end of the transfer flap 12 in this embodiment. The second baffle 15 is also driven by a cylinder. When the cylinders on both sides extend, the second baffle 15 can be extended to block the plastic film. After the cylinders on both sides contract, the second baffle 15 slides below the transfer flap 12 to release the plastic film.
[0034] AGV transfer vehicle: As a loading and transfer mechanism for the plastic film, in order to meet the needs of different specifications of plastic film production, multiple workstations are provided on the AGV transfer vehicle 2 in this embodiment to place plastic films with different diameters. The AGV transfer vehicle 2 includes a vehicle body. The vehicle body is a self-powered vehicle body, which uses its own battery as a power source and is driven by a motor to maintain operation. The top of the AGV transfer vehicle 2 has a carrying frame 21. The carrying frame 21 has multiple layers of carrying plates 22. The carrying plates 22 present an inclined state with the front end high and the rear end low. In this embodiment, three carrying plates 22 are evenly arranged on the carrying frame 21 from top to bottom. The three carrying plates 22 can classify and carry plastic films of three diameter specifications respectively.
[0035] A front lifting system 3 is arranged on the front side of the AGV transfer vehicle 2, and a rear lifting system 4 is arranged on the rear side of the AGV transfer vehicle 2.
[0036] The carrier plate 22 is used to carry plastic films of the same diameter specification. A carrier baffle 23 is installed at the rear side of the carrier plate 22. Both ends of the carrier baffle 23 are driven by a carrier slide cylinder. The carrier baffle 23 is driven to lift and lower by the carrier slide cylinder. When the carrier slide cylinder extends, the carrier baffle 23 extends above the carrier plate 22 to store the plastic films placed on the carrier plate 22. When the carrier slide cylinder contracts, the carrier baffle 23 descends below the carrier plate 22, exposing the carrier plate 22, so that the plastic films on the carrier plate 22 can roll onto the rear deflector 41.
[0037] The front lifting system 3 includes front lifting tracks 33 symmetrically arranged on the front two sides of the carrier frame 21. A front lifting mechanism 34 is arranged outside the front lifting tracks 33. A front deflector 31 is slidably arranged on the two sides of the front lifting tracks 33. The front deflector 31 is in an inclined state with the front end higher than the rear end. A front baffle 32 is arranged at the rear side of the front deflector 31. Both sides of the front baffle 32 are driven by a front slide cylinder. When the front slide cylinder is in the extended state, the front baffle 32 is lifted to block the plastic films on the front deflector 31. When the front slide cylinder is in the contracted state, the front baffle 32 is lowered, and the top of the front baffle 32 is at the same height as the rear side of the front deflector 31 to release the plastic films onto the corresponding carrier plate 22 for carrying. The front deflector 31 is docked with carrier plates 22 of different heights and is used to guide plastic films of different specifications to different carrier plate 22 workstations for storage. When it is necessary to guide the plastic films to the corresponding carrier plate 22 through the front deflector 31, driven by the front lifting mechanism 34, the rear side of the front deflector 31 can just correspond to the front height of the carrier plate 22 that needs to carry the plastic films, so that the plastic films roll onto the carrier plate 22 under the action of gravity for carrying.
[0038] The rear lifting system 4 includes rear lifting tracks 43 symmetrically arranged on the rear sides of both sides of the carrier 21. A rear lifting mechanism 44 is arranged outside the rear lifting tracks 43. A rear deflector 41 is slidably arranged on the rear lifting tracks 43 on both sides. The rear deflector 41 is in an inclined state with the front high and the rear low. A rear baffle 42 is arranged at the rear side of the rear deflector 41. Both sides of the rear baffle 42 are driven by rear slide table cylinders. When the rear slide table cylinders are in the extended state, the rear baffle 42 is raised to block the plastic film on the rear deflector 41. When the rear slide table cylinders are in the retracted state, the rear baffle 42 is lowered, and the top of the rear baffle 42 is at the same height as the rear side of the rear deflector 41, releasing the plastic film onto the unloading structure 5 for temporary storage. The rear deflector 41 is docked with the carrier plates 22 at different heights, and is used to transfer the plastic film at different loading stations to the corresponding unloading structure 5 for temporary storage. When it is necessary to export the plastic film on the carrier plate 22, the rear deflector 41 is driven to lift and lower by the rear lifting mechanism 44, so that the front side of the rear deflector 41 corresponds to the height of the rear side of the carrier plate 22 from which the plastic film needs to be exported, so that the plastic film rolls onto the unloading structure 5 for temporary storage under the action of gravity.
[0039] The front lifting mechanism 34 and the rear lifting mechanism 44 have the same structure, both of which are synchronous belt or synchronous chain mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carrier 21. The belt pulleys or sprockets at their tops are driving wheels, and the driving wheels on both sides are coaxially installed through a driving shaft in the middle. The middle part of the driving shaft is driven by a driving motor.
[0040] Unloading structure: The unloading structure 5 is an inclined silo 51 with a width slightly larger than the diameter of the plastic film, so that after the plastic film is released into the unloading structure 5, the plastic films are stacked inside. In this embodiment, one unloading structure 5 corresponds to one packaging machine 6. The unloading structure 5 is installed on one side of the corresponding packaging machine 6. A discharge baffle 52 is installed at the bottom of the unloading structure 5, and the discharge baffle 52 is installed at the bottom of the silo 51. The discharge baffle 52 is driven by discharge slide table cylinders on both sides. When the discharge slide table cylinders drive the discharge baffle 52 to contract, the bottom opening of the silo 51 is opened, so that the plastic film can fall onto the conveyor belt of the packaging machine 6. The height of the bottom opening of the silo 51 from the conveyor belt is slightly larger than the diameter of the plastic film. After releasing one plastic film, the subsequent plastic films are driven by the extended action of the slide table cylinders to drive the discharge baffle 52 to squeeze and limit the plastic films. Only when the previous plastic film enters the packaging process and vacates the release space below, the discharge slide table cylinders will drive the discharge baffle 52 to contract to release the next plastic film.
[0041] Packaging machine: The packaging machine 6 uses a pillow-type packaging machine 6. Two rows of soft limit heads are arranged in an array on the conveyor belt of the packaging machine 6, and the plastic film is restricted by the two rows of limit heads, thereby ensuring the stability of the plastic film during the packaging process. In the present invention, the heat-sealing temperature of the packaging machine 6 is adjusted to 120 ± 5 degrees, which can ensure the heat-sealing of the packaging film without damaging the outer layer of the plastic film.
[0042] When the conventional agricultural plastic film is wound into a roll, it usually takes several minutes, while the packaging of the plastic film can be completed in only a few seconds. Thanks to the self-identification function of the packaging machine 6, the packaging machine 6 can start and stop at any time, promptly handle the transported plastic film, and quickly package the plastic film. Although the packaging speed of the packaging machine 6 is relatively fast, the width of the packaging consumables (heat-sealing film) is fixed. Plastic films of different diameter specifications require corresponding widths of heat-sealing films, and the replacement of the heat-sealing film takes a long time. Therefore, a packaging method of using one packaging machine 6 for one specification of plastic film is adopted. The price of the pillow-type packaging machine 6 is not expensive and is completely within the affordable range.
[0043] When using the AGV transfer vehicle 2 to transfer the plastic film, the process is as follows: After the plastic film is wound, the plastic film is grabbed by the manipulator and transferred to the carrier table 11. At this time, the plastic film winding production line sends a signal to the master controller. After receiving the signal of the plastic film winding device of this specification, the master controller controls the AGV transfer vehicle 2 to move to the carrier table 11. At the same time, the second baffle 15 rises to release the plastic film to the transfer flap 12. When the AGV transfer vehicle 2 is docked with the transfer flap 12, the front guide plate 31 on the AGV transfer vehicle 2 rises to the same height as the transfer flap 12. Then the second baffle 15 rises to release the plastic film onto the front guide plate 31. The front guide plate 31 descends to the corresponding carrier plate 22 position according to the specification of the plastic film. Then the front baffle 32 descends to release the plastic film onto the corresponding carrier plate 22 for storage. The AGV transfer vehicle 2 can transport multiple specifications of plastic films multiple times each time. When at least one of the carrier plates 22 is full, the AGV transfer vehicle 2 drives the plastic film to move to the unloading structure 5 of the packaging machine 6 for temporary storage.
[0044] According to needs, the AGV transfer vehicle 2 can adopt a multi-vehicle cooperation method. The master controller controls multiple AGV transfer vehicles 2 to classify and transfer plastic films of different specifications to meet the requirements of synchronous production of multiple specifications of plastic films in a large workshop.
[0045] Among them, the specifications of the plastic film mulch are only divided according to the diameter of the plastic film mulch, and the length of the plastic film mulch is not considered. Because when packaging, the length of the plastic film mulch can be automatically cut by the self-identification function of the packaging machine 6 to adapt to the packaging of the plastic film mulch. At the same time, when dividing the specifications of the plastic film mulch, the plastic film mulch within the same diameter range belongs to the same specification. For example, the plastic film mulch with a diameter within 10 - 12 cm is of the same specification. When heat-sealing the plastic film mulch, the heat-sealing temperature of the large-diameter plastic film mulch of the same specification is at the lower limit of the set temperature, and the heat-sealing temperature of the small-diameter plastic film mulch is at the upper limit of the set temperature. Thus, the heat shrinkage amount of the packaging film is controlled by temperature, and on the premise of ensuring good packaging of the plastic film mulch, damage to the plastic film mulch is minimized as much as possible.
[0046] In addition, according to our experiments, even when heat-sealing the plastic film for packaging the plastic film mulch at a relatively high heat-sealing temperature (150 °C), only the first three layers of the plastic film mulch can be damaged after unpacking. Therefore, by using the pillow-type packaging machine 6 for heat-sealing, heat-sealing packaging of the plastic film mulch can be achieved under reasonable control of the heat-sealing temperature. Embodiment 2
[0047] Based on Embodiment 1, when the efficiency of the plastic film mulch winding device is faster than the transfer efficiency, there will be more plastic film mulch on the carrier table 11. At this time, if the AGV transfer vehicle 2 cannot transfer all the plastic film mulch at one time, a third baffle 16 can be added to the carrier table 11. The third baffle 16 is installed on the front side of the first baffle 14, and the structure of the third baffle 16 is the same as that of the first baffle 14. The distance between the third baffle 16 and the first baffle 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the plastic film mulch, so that the plastic film mulch can be released sequentially by the alternating opening and closing of the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15.
[0048] Furthermore, in order to adapt to the production of plastic film mulch of different specifications, the installation positions of the third baffle 16 and / or the first baffle 14 are adjustable. Specifically, the cylinder mounting brackets on both sides of the third baffle 16 and / or the first baffle 14 are fixed by bolts, and the carrier table 11 has long holes, so that the cylinder installation positions on both sides of the third baffle 16 and / or the first baffle 14 are adjustable, and then the distance between the first baffle 14 and the second baffle 15 is adjusted to adapt to the transfer of plastic film mulch of different diameters. Embodiment 3
[0049] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, in this embodiment, one unloading structure 5 corresponds to multiple packaging machines 6. This corresponding method can make the unloading position of the AGV transfer vehicle 2 relatively fixed, and at the same time save the layout space, so that the packaging machines 6 can be arranged side by side, making the overall layout more compact and regular.
[0050] Specifically, a positioning table 53 is provided below the unloading structure 5 in this embodiment. A positioning block 54 is provided on the positioning table 53 for limiting the plastic film. The bottom outlet of the silo 51 is located at the front end of the positioning table 53. By blocking the plastic film with the positioning block 54, the plastic film can be arranged in an orderly manner on the positioning table 53. When the unloading baffle 52 at the bottom of the unloading structure 5 is opened, the plastic film rolls onto the positioning table 53 for array setting. A material distributing mechanism 7 is provided above multiple packaging machines 6. The material distributing mechanism 7 is used to transfer the plastic film to the corresponding packaging machine 6 according to specifications for packaging.
[0051] The material distributing mechanism 7 includes a truss 71 spanning above the packaging machine 6. A horizontal slide rail 72 perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the packaging machine 6 and a material distributing drive mechanism 73 are provided on the truss 71. In this embodiment, the horizontal slide rail 72 is divided into two pairs, and the two pairs of horizontal slide rails 72 are arranged on both sides. A material distributing seat 8 is slidably installed between the two pairs of horizontal slide rails 72. The material distributing drive mechanism 73 is driven by a synchronous belt, a driving lead screw or a gear-rack mechanism, and the material distributing drive mechanism 73 is installed between a pair of horizontal slide rails 72 on each side. The material distributing drive mechanism 73 is used to drive the material distributing seat 8 to slide stably back and forth along the horizontal slide rail 72. Specifically, in this embodiment, the material distributing drive mechanism 73 adopts a gear-rack mechanism. In a pair of horizontal slide rails 72 on the same side in this embodiment, a rack is provided inside one of the horizontal slide rails 72, and a driving motor is provided on the material distributing seat 8. The driving motor realizes the reciprocating sliding of the material distributing seat 8 through the meshing of the driving gear and the rack.
[0052] An elevating frame 81 is installed on the material distributing seat 8. The elevating frame 81 is driven to lift by a gear-rack mechanism driven by a motor. A material distributing slide rail 82 is installed at the bottom of the elevating frame 81. The material distributing slide rail 82 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the packaging machine 6. A left material distributing lead screw 83 and a right material distributing lead screw 85 are respectively installed on both sides of the material distributing slide rail 82. A left material distributing clamp 84 and a right material distributing clamp 86 are respectively slidably installed on the left and right sides of the material distributing slide rail 82. The left material distributing clamp 84 is driven by the left material distributing lead screw 83, and the right material distributing clamp 86 is driven by the right material distributing lead screw 85. Both the left material distributing lead screw 83 and the right material distributing lead screw 85 are driven by servo motors. By driving the left material distributing clamp 84 and the right material distributing clamp 86 separately, plastic films of different lengths can be grabbed. During the transportation of the plastic film, it is very likely that the plastic film is not symmetrically arranged with the material distributing seat 8 as the center. In order to avoid the limited operation of the material distributing seat 8 due to the unbalance, the width between the two pairs of horizontal slide rails 72 in this embodiment is kept above 1 meter, so as to improve the bearing capacity of the material distributing seat 8 by increasing the span.
[0053] In this embodiment, the left material separation fixture 84 and the right material separation fixture 86 can adopt an insertion-type fixture or a clamping-type fixture. The insertion-type fixture is a cylinder with a diameter smaller than the inner hole of the plastic film reel. Through the opposite movement of the left material separation lead screw 83 and the right material separation lead screw 85, the two cylinders can be inserted into the inner holes at both ends of the plastic film reel, so as to realize the grasping of the plastic film. When releasing the plastic film, the left material separation fixture 84 and the right material separation fixture 86 move quickly in opposite directions to realize the release of the plastic film. Further, in order to realize the stable clamping of the plastic film by the left material separation fixture 84 and the right material separation fixture 86, sensors are installed at the roots of the cylindrical left material separation fixture 84 and the right material separation fixture 86. When the sensors at the roots touch the plastic film reel, they will be triggered, which proves that the material separation fixture on this side is in place.
[0054] The insertion-type fixture is convenient for grasping the plastic film. However, when grasping plastic films of different specifications, the positioning is likely to be inaccurate. Therefore, when the specification span of the plastic film is large, a more complex clamping-type fixture is adopted. The clamping-type fixture is driven by a clamping cylinder 87. Through the clamping cylinder 87, the two jaws move towards or away from each other, so as to realize the grasping and release of the plastic film. The inner side of the jaw has a long groove 88. When the two jaws are butted, a closed space with a semi-circular top and bottom and a rectangular middle is formed, and the width of this closed space is greater than the diameter of the plastic film reel. This structure can adapt to plastic films of different specifications, offset the differences in grasping height and grasping position caused by different plastic film diameters, and is convenient for grasping the plastic film.
[0055] Further, in order to be able to position the grasping position when grasping the plastic film, a positioner is added outside the left material separation fixture 84 and outside the right material separation fixture 86. When grasping the plastic film, the left material separation fixture 84 is driven by the left material separation lead screw 83 to move towards the plastic film, and the right material separation fixture 86 is driven by the right material separation lead screw 85 to move towards the plastic film. The positioner will first touch the end of the plastic film. At this time, the material separation fixture on this side reaches the material grasping position, that is, the positioning operation of the material separation fixture for grasping the plastic film is completed.
[0056] Through the material separation mechanism 7, the plastic film is transferred to the corresponding packaging machine 6 according to its own specifications, and the final packaging operation of the plastic film is completed by the packaging machine 6. After the plastic film is packaged, there is a palletizing manipulator at the end of the packaging machine 6 to grasp the packaged plastic film and palletize it according to the specifications onto the pallet, realizing the automation of the entire plastic film packaging process.
