Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of thin sheet product production, and in particular, to a flexible sheet sorting mechanism for thin sheet products. Background Art

[0002] In the production industry of disposable hygiene products, a product sheet sorting mechanism is essential. Since the production speed of product processing machines generally reaches about 1000 pieces per minute, it is impossible to complete operations such as product receiving, counting, and stacking manually at such a speed.

[0003] Therefore, a set of sheet sorting mechanisms are installed behind production machines for functions such as product arranging, counting, and stacking. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a product conveyor belt 1 conveys a product 100 between two blades 21 of a sheet sorter 2. When the conveyor belt of the sheet sorter 1 rotates one grid, the product sheet sorting is completed. The blades 21 on the sheet sorter 1 are generally made of plastic and have a smooth surface, so that the product 100 can slide smoothly to the bottom of the conveyor belt when entering.

[0004] However, in some sheet sorting processes, it is required that the blades of the sheet sorter have a certain clamping force on the product. Since the gap between the blades of the sheet sorter is fixed, when the production specifications of the product are changed and the thickness changes greatly, it cannot be compatible for production. At this time, the thickness can be changed by feeding two or three products between the two blades so that the blades of the sheet sorter can clamp the product. In the above-mentioned mechanism, if there is already a product in the conveyor belt groove, there will be an additional and uncertain obstacle when another product enters, which will cause the second product to enter smoothly or directly fail to enter, resulting in messy product arrangement and being unfavorable for subsequent working sections. Therefore, further improvement can be made. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to set different feeding quantities when changing production specifications so that the blades of the sheet sorter can clamp the product and enhance its production adaptability, this application provides a flexible sheet sorting mechanism for thin sheet products.

[0006] The flexible sheet sorting mechanism for thin sheet products provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions: A flexible sheet sorting mechanism for thin sheet products includes a product conveyor belt, a sheet sorter, and a flexible conveyor belt installed between the product conveyor belt and the sheet sorter. The output end of the product conveyor belt extends to the turning point of the input end of the flexible conveyor belt, and the output end of the flexible conveyor belt extends to the turning point of the input end of the sheet sorter; flexible paddles are uniformly arranged along the conveyor belt of the flexible conveyor belt, the flexible paddles form an angle with the conveyor belt where they are located, and the flexible paddles on the flexible conveyor belt are arranged in a staggered manner with the blades on the sheet sorter.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during operation, products are evenly conveyed at equal intervals on the product conveyor belt, and are fed into the flexible conveyor belt at the turning point at the input end of the flexible conveyor belt, and then fed into the slicing machine at the turning point at the input end of the slicing machine. In this process, for the flexible conveyor belt, the products on the product conveyor belt are fed one by one into the angle formed by the flexible paddles and the conveyor belt where they are located on the flexible conveyor belt, that is, each flexible paddle feeds one product at a time. For the slicing machine, the corresponding clamping quantity needs to be set according to the thickness of the product. After the first product is fed in place, the slicing machine does not act temporarily, and the flexible conveyor belt continues to send the next product. The front part of the flexible paddle pushes the previous product to a certain position to facilitate the next product to enter the blades of the slicing machine until the quantity set to meet a certain clamping force is reached between the two blades. Therefore, when changing the production specifications, it is not necessary to replace the slicing machine blades of different thicknesses to adapt to production, and only different feeding quantities need to be set, which can achieve flexible production and has strong production adaptability.

[0008] Optionally, the flexible paddle is a silicone sheet.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the silicone sheet is smooth, but it has a certain elasticity and can be deformed appropriately. It can not only realize the conveying of products with different thickness specifications during the process of the product conveyor belt feeding the products into the flexible conveyor belt, but also realize flexible conveying and pushing aside processing during the process of the flexible conveyor belt feeding the products into the slicing machine.

[0010] Optionally, the flexible paddles in the flexible conveyor belt are located on both sides of the conveyor belt where they are located, and the blades in the slicing machine are located in the middle of the conveyor belt where they are located.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the flexible paddles in the flexible conveyor belt are located on both sides of the conveyor belt where they are located, and the blades in the slicing machine are located in the middle of the conveyor belt where they are located, a staggered arrangement is formed.

[0012] Optionally, the product conveyor belt is arranged obliquely downward.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the product conveyor belt to be arranged obliquely downward makes it easier for the products to be fed from the product conveyor belt into the flexible conveyor belt.

[0014] Optionally, the flexible conveyor belt is a belt-type conveyor belt.

[0015] Optionally, the inclination angle of the product conveyor belt is 3° - 10°.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the inclination angle of the product conveyor belt to 3° - 10° provides a better angle for feeding the products into the flexible conveyor belt and facilitates the feeding of the products.

[0017] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When changing the production specifications, it is not necessary to replace the slicing machine blades of different thicknesses to adapt to production. Instead, only different feeding quantities need to be set, enabling flexible production with strong production adaptability; 2. The flexible paddle is a silicone sheet. The surface of the silicone sheet is smooth but has a certain elasticity and can be appropriately deformed. It can not only convey products of different thickness specifications during the process of the product conveyor belt feeding the products onto the flexible conveyor belt, but also achieve flexible conveying and separating processing during the process of the flexible conveyor belt feeding the products into the slicing machine; 3. The included angle formed between the flexible paddle and the conveyor belt in the flexible conveyor belt becomes larger at the turning point and smaller at the horizontal section. It can open wide at the turning point to facilitate the entry and exit of products, and at the same time clamp the products at the horizontal section to facilitate high-speed operation.

[0024] The following further elaborates on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 3-5 drawings.

[0025] The embodiments of the present application disclose a flexible slicing mechanism for thin-sheet products.

[0026] Refer to Figures 3-5, a flexible sheet product sorting mechanism, including a product conveyor belt 1, a sheet sorting machine 2, and a flexible conveyor belt 3. The flexible conveyor belt 3 is installed between the product conveyor belt 1 and the sheet sorting machine 2, and the output end of the product conveyor belt 1 extends to the turning point of the input end of the flexible conveyor belt 3, and the output end of the flexible conveyor belt 3 extends to the turning point of the input end of the sheet sorting machine 2. Flexible paddles 31 are evenly arranged along the conveyor belt of the flexible conveyor belt 3. The flexible paddles 31 have the ability to deform. The flexible paddles 31 are arranged at an angle with the conveyor belt where they are located. The flexible paddles 31 on the flexible conveyor belt 3 are arranged in a staggered manner with the blades 21 on the sheet sorting machine 2.

[0027] During operation, the products 100 are evenly and continuously conveyed from the product conveyor belt 1 at equal intervals, and are fed into the flexible conveyor belt 3 at the turning point of the input end of the flexible conveyor belt 3, and then fed into the sheet sorting machine 2 at the turning point of the input end of the sheet sorting machine 2. During this process, for the flexible conveyor belt 3, the products 100 on the product conveyor belt 1 are fed one by one into the angle formed by the flexible paddle 31 and the conveyor belt where it is located on the flexible conveyor belt 3, that is, each flexible paddle 31 feeds one product 100 each time. For the sheet sorting machine 2, it is necessary to set the corresponding clamping quantity according to the thickness of the product 100. After the first product 100 is in place, the sheet sorting machine 2 does not act temporarily, and the flexible conveyor belt 3 continues to send the next product 100. At this time, the front part of the flexible paddle 31 pushes the previous product 100 to a certain position to facilitate the next product 100 to enter the blades 21 of the sheet sorting machine 2 until the set quantity that meets a certain clamping force is reached between the two blades 21.

[0028] Therefore, when changing the production specifications, it is not necessary to replace the blades 21 of the sheet sorting machine 2 with different thicknesses to adapt to production. Only different feeding quantities need to be set, which can achieve flexible production and has strong production adaptability.

[0029] In addition, during this process, the angle formed between the flexible paddle 31 and the conveyor belt where it is located on the flexible conveyor belt 3 becomes larger at the turning point and smaller at the horizontal section, which can open wide at the turning point to facilitate the entry and exit of the product 100, and at the same time clamp the product 100 at the horizontal section to facilitate high-speed operation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the flexible conveyor belt 3 is a belt-type conveyor belt, the flexible paddle 31 is a silicone sheet, and the flexible paddle 31 is fixedly installed on the flexible conveyor belt 3 by an adhesive method. The surface of the silicone sheet is smooth, but it has a certain elasticity and can be deformed appropriately. It can not only realize the conveying of products 100 with different thickness specifications during the process of the product conveyor belt 1 feeding the products 100 into the flexible conveyor belt 3, but also realize flexible conveying and pushing aside treatment during the process of the flexible conveyor belt 3 feeding the products 100 into the sheet sorting machine 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the flexible paddles 31 in the flexible conveyor belt 3 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the blades 21 in the tablet arranging machine 2 are located in the middle of the conveyor belt, so that the flexible paddles 31 in the flexible conveyor belt 3 and the blades 21 in the tablet arranging machine 2 are arranged in a staggered manner during the process of transferring the product 100.

[0032] In this embodiment, the product conveyor belt 1 is arranged obliquely downward, and the inclination angle of the product conveyor belt 1 is 3°-10°, preferably 5°. Arranging the product conveyor belt 1 obliquely downward makes it easier for the product 100 to be fed from the product conveyor belt 1 onto the flexible conveyor belt 3.

[0033] The implementation principle of the flexible tablet arranging mechanism for thin sheet products in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: During operation, the products 100 are evenly and continuously conveyed from the product conveyor belt 1 at equal intervals, and then are fed one by one into the included angle formed by the flexible paddles 31 in the flexible conveyor belt 3 and the conveyor belt where they are located. That is, each time a product 100 is fed into the flexible conveyor belt 3 by the flexible paddle 31 for conveying.

[0034] Then, the products 100 are conveyed from the input end to the output end of the flexible conveyor belt 3, and are fed into the tablet arranging machine 2 through the turning at the input end of the tablet arranging machine 2. During this process, the tablet arranging machine 2 needs to set the corresponding clamping quantity according to the thickness of the product 100. After the first product 100 is in place, the tablet arranging machine 2 does not act temporarily, and the flexible conveyor belt 3 continues to send the next product 100. At this time, the front part of the flexible paddle 31 pushes the previous product 100 to a certain position, and at the same time, the next product 100 is fed until the number of products between the two blades 21 reaches the quantity set to meet a certain clamping force.

[0035] Therefore, when changing the production specifications, there is no need to replace the blades 21 of different thicknesses in the tablet arranging machine 2 to adapt to the production, and only different feeding quantities need to be set, which can achieve flexible production and has strong production adaptability.
