Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ceramic tile production equipment, in particular to an automatic tile packaging equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production and sales process of ceramic tiles, automatic packaging is a key link to ensure product quality and improve production efficiency. Due to the brittle and hard material of ceramic tiles, the edge and corner parts are prone to damage such as edge collapse and corner drop due to bumping and extrusion during transportation and logistics, which seriously affects the appearance and value of the product. Therefore, the industry generally uses the following process in the automatic packaging process: a special corner protection piece (such as a plastic corner guard or a paper corner guard) is sleeved on the four corner parts of the stacked tile, then the whole is wrapped with packaging paper, and finally the tile edge and corner are protected by reinforcing with a binding belt, so as to ensure the integrity of the tile during transportation.

[0003] At present, the automatic packaging equipment that realizes this process usually adopts a multi-station step-by-step operation mode. Specifically, first, the tile stack is automatically stacked on the pre-laid packaging paper in the feeding station; then, the tile stack is transported to the corner sleeve station, and the four corner pieces are sleeved one by one or simultaneously on the four corner parts of the tile stack by a special corner sleeve mechanism; then, the tile stack is transferred to the edge folding station, and the edge folding mechanism folds and wraps the packaging paper around the tile stack and the corner piece in sequence; finally, the wrapped tile stack is sent to the binding equipment for tightening with a binding belt, completing the entire packaging process.

[0004] However, the automatic packaging equipment of the prior art has a significant limitation: the corner sleeve mechanism is usually designed to only handle a single specification of corner piece. This means that the entire packaging line can only accommodate one fixed size (such as length, angle, thickness) of corner guard. When different specifications and sizes of tile products need to be packaged on the production line, and therefore the matching corner piece needs to be replaced, the machine must be stopped and the corner sleeve mechanism must be adjusted mechanically or even disassembled and replaced, such as replacing the clamping jaw, mold or entire corner sleeve mechanism.

[0005] This "one machine, one corner" rigid production mode cannot adapt to the complex incoming material conditions of product category diversification and production order fragmentation in modern ceramic production enterprises. Frequent stoppage for production change not only significantly reduces the overall utilization rate of the equipment and the overall production efficiency of the packaging line, increases the operating burden and maintenance cost of workers, but also makes it difficult for the automatic production line to respond flexibly to rapidly changing production demands, becoming a major bottleneck in improving the intelligence and flexibility of the packaging process.

[0042] The folding device 600 comprises a plurality of folding mechanisms, which are respectively used to fold the packaging paper to form a cover for the packaging corner piece and the edge of the material.

[0043] In actual use, the brick material is conveyed to the first station along the feeding conveying device 100, and the corner angle piece is sleeved on the corner of the material through the four corner angle piece sleeving mechanisms 200. The wrapping paper is taken out from the paper bin 410 to the second station through the paper feeding device 400. Then, the material is moved to the second station together with the corner angle piece sleeved on the corner by the material moving device 500, so as to be placed on the wrapping paper. Then, the wrapping paper is folded and formed by the edge folding device 600, so that the wrapping paper covers the corner angle piece and the edge of the material. The automatic brick wrapping equipment has the advantages that the sleeving of the corner angle piece and the wrapping of the wrapping paper are realized in two stations respectively, so that the material is wrapped and processed, the structure is compact, and the space occupation is small. The products on the two stations are conveyed through the feeding conveying device 100 and the discharging conveying device 300 respectively, the sleeving of the corner angle piece and the edge folding and forming of the wrapping paper can be simultaneously performed, and the overall wrapping speed is improved.

[0044] In the embodiment, the corner angle piece sleeving mechanism 200 comprises a corner angle piece bin 210 and a corner angle piece taking and placing member 220. The corner angle piece bin 210 has a storage space for storing the corner angle piece, and is provided with a discharging opening communicating with the storage space.

[0045] The corner angle piece taking and placing member 220 comprises a taking and placing hand claw 221 and a taking and placing driving assembly 222.

Specifically, the taking and placing driving assembly 222 comprises a rotary driving unit and a telescopic driving unit. The rotary driving unit is used for driving the taking and placing hand claw 221 to rotate around the axis, and the telescopic driving unit is used for driving the taking and placing hand claw 221 to move along the radial direction.

[0047] In actual use, the rotary driving unit is used to drive the taking and placing hand claw 221 to rotate, so that the taking and placing hand claw 221 faces the discharging opening. Then, the telescopic driving unit is used to drive the taking and placing hand claw 221 to extend, so that the taking and placing hand claw 221 approaches the discharging opening. After the corner angle suction cups adsorb the corner angle piece, the telescopic driving unit is retracted to take the corner angle piece out of the corner angle piece bin 210. After the rotary driving unit drives the taking and placing hand claw 221 to rotate to face the corner of the material, the telescopic driving unit is extended again to sleeve the corner angle piece on the corner of the material, so as to realize the sleeving of the corner angle piece.

[0048] In the embodiment, the telescopic driving unit can adopt a linear driving component such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod or a screw-nut driving assembly.

[0049] In some further embodiments, in order to meet different packaging specification requirements, each of the packaging corner placing mechanisms 200 is provided with a plurality of packaging corner warehouses 210 corresponding to different specifications of packaging corner pieces, and the discharge outlets of the plurality of packaging corner warehouses 210 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotation axis of the taking and placing gripper 221. In the packaging corner placing mechanism 200 provided with only a single packaging corner warehouse 210, the rotation driving unit can adopt a rotary driving element such as a rotary pneumatic cylinder, a servo motor, a stepping motor or a pneumatic motor. In the embodiment provided with a plurality of packaging corner warehouses 210 of different specifications, the rotation driving unit can adopt a rotary driving element such as a servo motor, a stepping motor or a DD motor.

[0050] Referring to the drawings, the feeding conveying device 100 of the embodiment extends in the front-rear direction, the discharging conveying device 300 is arranged on the front side of the feeding conveying device 100, and the second station and the first station are arranged in front of and behind each other.

[0051] In the embodiment, the material moving device 500 is arranged above the first station and the second station, and the material moving device 500 comprises a material moving clamp 510 and a material moving driving mechanism 520. The material moving clamp 510 is used for clamping the material and the packaging corner piece thereon, and the material moving driving mechanism 520 is used for driving the material moving clamp 510 to move between the first station and the second station.

[0052] The material moving clamp 510 comprises a clamping driving component 512 and two clamping pieces 511 arranged in front of and behind each other, and the two clamping pieces 511 are provided with material supporting edges protruding towards each other and extending in the left-right direction. The clamping driving component 512 is used for driving the two clamping pieces 511 to move towards each other or away from each other. In the embodiment, the clamping driving component 512 adopts a gear and rack structure to synchronously drive the two clamping pieces 511 to move in opposite directions. In some other embodiments, the clamping driving component 512 can adopt other transmission modes such as belt transmission, chain transmission or worm and gear transmission.

[0053] The left and right ends of the two clamping pieces 511 are each provided with an anti-falling clamp body 513 used for clamping the packaging corner piece, and the anti-falling clamp body 513 is provided with an elastic anti-falling clamping part. When the two clamping pieces 511 are clamped towards each other, the two material supporting edges can support the front and rear edges of the bottom of the material to realize the moving. At this time, the anti-falling clamping part can elastically abut against the packaging corner piece of the corner of the material to avoid the packaging corner piece from falling.

[0054] Further, the anti-pinch body 513 can adopt a chute structure or different position screw holes matched with screws to realize adjustable installation in the left-right direction, so as to adapt to different width materials or different position corner pieces.

[0055] The material moving driving mechanism 520 includes a material moving lifting member 521 and a material moving translation member 522. The material moving lifting member 521 is used to drive the material moving clamp 510 to move up and down relative to the material inlet conveying device 100 and the material outlet conveying device 300. The material moving translation member 522 is used to drive the material moving clamp 510 to move forward and backward relative to the material inlet conveying device 100 and the material outlet conveying device 300.

[0056] In the embodiment, a front-rear extending cross beam is arranged above the first station and the second station. A moving slide table 523 is arranged in the front-rear sliding mode of the cross beam. The material moving lifting member 521 and the material moving clamp 510 are both installed on the moving slide table 523. The material moving translation member 522 has a material moving translation driving end which is in transmission connection with the moving slide table 523 and drives the moving slide table 523 to move in the front-rear direction relative to the first station and the second station. The material moving clamp 510 is arranged on the lower side of the moving slide table 523. The material moving lifting member 521 has a material moving lifting driving end which is in transmission connection with the material moving clamp 510 and drives the material moving clamp 510 to move in the up-down direction relative to the moving slide table 523.

[0057] The material moving translation member 522 and the material moving lifting member 521 can adopt a chain wheel and chain driving assembly, a synchronous belt driving assembly, a gear and rack driving assembly, or a screw and nut driving assembly, etc.

[0058] In some other embodiments, each of the four corner placing mechanisms 200 is provided with a corner piece storage 210. The first station is provided with a corner turning mechanism which is used to drive the material in the first station to turn. Two of the corner placing mechanisms 200 are first specification corner placing mechanisms, and the other two are second specification corner placing mechanisms. The corner piece storages 210 of the first specification corner placing mechanisms and the second specification corner placing mechanisms respectively correspond to two different specifications of corner pieces. Two of the first specification corner placing mechanisms are respectively arranged at two corner portions of the first station, and the other two of the second specification corner placing mechanisms are respectively arranged at the other two corner portions of the first station.

[0059] In actual use, when the brick slab material is conveyed to the first station, two of the first specification corner placing mechanisms or two of the second specification corner placing mechanisms place the corner pieces. Then, the corner turning mechanism drives the material to turn, so that the corner portion with the corner piece is exchanged with the corner portion without the corner piece, and then the corresponding corner piece is placed on the corner portion of the material again.

[0060] The first and second size corner fitting setting mechanisms can respectively set different size corner fittings, and the corner turning mechanism turns the material, and the four corners are set with corner fittings step by step to meet the setting of two different size corner fittings.

[0061] In some embodiments, two first size corner fitting setting mechanisms are arranged at two adjacent corners, two second size corner fitting setting mechanisms are arranged at the other two adjacent corners, the corner turning mechanism turns the material by 180 degrees, and the corner setting process of the four corners is realized by two setting actions. In other embodiments, for square brick materials, two first size corner fitting setting mechanisms can be diagonally arranged, and two second size corner fitting setting mechanisms are also diagonally arranged, and the corner turning mechanism turns the material by 90 degrees between the two setting actions.

[0062] If the types of brick materials are complex and need to adapt to more size corner fittings, in other embodiments, the four corner setting mechanisms 200 can correspond to different size corner fittings, and the four corner setting mechanisms 200 correspond to four different size corner fittings. In actual use, the corner turning mechanism turns by 90 degrees each time, and the corners of the material are turned to the corresponding corner setting mechanisms 200 in turn.

[0063] In some embodiments, the feeding conveying device 100 includes two feeding conveying mechanisms 110, both of which are belt conveying mechanisms, and the two feeding conveying mechanisms 110 are arranged side by side with a left-right interval, and the upper sides of the two feeding conveying mechanisms 110 extend in the front-rear direction and are flush with each other to form a feeding conveying surface for supporting and conveying the material. The two feeding conveying mechanisms 110 can be synchronously connected by a left-right extending transmission shaft and synchronously driven by a servo motor or other driving element.

[0064] The corner turning mechanism is arranged between the two feeding conveying mechanisms 110, and the corner turning mechanism includes a jacking and rotating member, which has a jacking and supporting part driven by a rotating driving element such as a rotating cylinder, a servo motor, a stepping motor or a pneumatic motor. The corner turning mechanism also has a jacking driving element for driving the jacking and rotating member to move up and down, so that the jacking and supporting part can be lifted from bottom to top to the upper side of the feeding conveying surface to lift the material from the feeding conveying mechanism 110. The jacking driving element can be a linear driving member such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod or a screw nut driving assembly arranged in the up-down direction.

[0065] In actual use, the brick material is placed on the feeding conveying surface, and the two feeding conveying mechanisms 110 support the left and right sides of the bottom of the material for conveying. When the material is conveyed to the first station, the jacking material supporting part is raised upward to lift the material from the feeding conveying mechanism 110 to the same level as the corner placing mechanism 200 and rotate by a corresponding angle to realize the sequential sleeving of the corner pieces of different corners of the material.

[0066] In these embodiments, in order to avoid the material stack from deviating during rotation and affecting the sleeving of the corner piece, the corner rotating mechanism further comprises a material pressing member, the material pressing member comprises a material pressing piece and a material pressing driving unit, the lower end of the material pressing piece is provided with a rotatable material pressing part, and the rotation axis of the material pressing part is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the jacking material supporting part. The material pressing driving unit has a material pressing driving end which is in transmission connection with the material pressing piece and moves the material pressing piece up and down relative to the material moving clamp 510.

[0067] During the sleeving of the corner piece, the material pressing driving unit drives the material pressing piece to press downward, and the material pressing part presses the upper side of the material. When the material rotates, the material pressing part can rotate coaxially with the material and the jacking material supporting part synchronously, thereby avoiding the deviation of the material during rotation.

[0068] In order to avoid the material pressing member and the material moving clamp from interfering with each other, the material pressing member is arranged on the material moving clamp 510. The material clamping piece of the material moving clamp 510 surrounds a material clamping space. The material pressing member is arranged on the upper side of the material clamping space. When the material needs to be rotated, the material pressing driving unit drives the material pressing piece to move downward, so that the material pressing part descends to the lower side of the material clamping space to press the upper end surface of the material stack, and the material moving clamp 510 will not hinder the material.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the corner rotating mechanism comprises the material moving clamp 510 and a rotating driving member for driving the material moving clamp 510 to rotate. When the material needs to be rotated, the material is clamped and lifted by the material moving clamp 510, so that the material can be lifted from the feeding conveying mechanism, and then the rotating driving member is driven to realize rotation. Specifically, the rotating driving member comprises a lifting column and a rotating driving unit, the lifting column is in sliding connection with the moving slide 523 in the up-down direction, the material moving lifting member 521 is used to drive the lifting column to move up and down, and the material moving clamp 510 is rotationally arranged at the lower end of the lifting column. The rotating driving unit can adopt a rotating driving element such as a rotary cylinder, a servo motor, a stepping motor or a pneumatic motor. The output end of the rotating driving unit is in transmission connection with the material moving clamp 510 through transmission modes such as belt transmission, chain transmission, gear transmission or worm and gear transmission.

[0070] In some embodiments, the stack of the brick boards is transported to the automatic packaging equipment for the sleeve placement of the corner fitting and the edge folding forming process of the packaging paper after the stack of the brick boards reaches a specific number. In some other embodiments, the feeding and transporting device 100 comprises a feeding and transporting mechanism 110 for transporting the brick boards and a stacking mechanism for stacking the brick boards.

[0071] The feeding and transporting mechanism 110 has a front and rear extending feeding and transporting surface on which the brick boards are transported from the rear to the front. The stacking mechanism is arranged at the front side of the feeding and transporting mechanism 110 and comprises a sinking member and a stacking member. The upper end of the sinking member is provided with a stacking supporting part which moves up and down through a linear driving member such as an electric push rod or a screw nut driving assembly.

[0072] The stacking member is used to transfer the brick boards from the downstream end of the feeding and transporting mechanism 110 to the upper side of the stacking supporting part.

[0073] In the first implementation, the stacking member comprises a pair of guiding and transporting assemblies arranged on the left and right sides of the sinking member. The two guiding and transporting assemblies have oppositely arranged guiding and transporting surfaces. In actual use, the guiding and transporting surfaces of the two guiding and transporting assemblies abut against the left and right ends of the brick boards to transport the brick boards, thereby avoiding friction and scratches during the transportation of the brick boards.

[0074] Specifically, the guiding and transporting assembly has a transporting belt extending along a circular moving path. A section of the moving path of the transporting belt extends in the front and rear direction, so that the belt surface of the transporting belt forms the guiding and transporting surface. To enable the two guiding and transporting assemblies to clamp the brick boards for transportation and avoid the falling of the brick boards, the side of the transporting belt away from the brick boards is provided with a plurality of rollers arranged in front and back, thereby supporting and supporting the transporting belt.

[0075] In some embodiments, the two guiding and transporting assemblies arranged in pairs can be driven to move towards each other or away from each other in the left and right directions through an opening and closing mechanism. When the brick boards enter between the two guiding and transporting assemblies, the opening and closing mechanism drives the two guiding and transporting assemblies to abut against each other, thereby achieving the clamping and transporting of the brick boards. When the brick boards move to the first station and align with the stacking supporting part up and down, the opening and closing mechanism drives the two guiding and transporting assemblies to move away from each other, thereby releasing the brick boards and stacking the brick boards on the upper side of the stacking supporting part. The opening and closing mechanism can adopt two cylinders arranged towards each other in the left and right directions, an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod or a screw nut driving assembly.

[0076] In some other embodiments, both of the guiding conveying assemblies are elastically arranged along the left-right direction. Specifically, both of the guiding conveying assemblies are arranged to slide along the left-right direction through linear sliding rails, or guide post structures, or sliding groove structures, and are arranged to have a tendency to approach each other through springs or other elastic members.

[0077] Further, in order to enable the material to smoothly enter between the two guiding conveying assemblies elastically arranged from the material feeding conveying mechanism 110, the rear ends of the two guiding conveying assemblies are provided with guiding sections. The conveying belt extends along the guiding sections to the guiding conveying surfaces. In the projection along the up-down direction, the guiding sections are arranged to be inclined to the front-rear direction, and the distance between the two guiding sections decreases from the rear to the front.

[0078] The front ends of the guiding conveying assemblies are provided with lower material guiding members, and the lower material guiding members are provided with lower material guiding portions. In the projection along the left-right direction, the lower material guiding portions are arranged to be inclined to the front-rear direction at a certain angle, and the height of the lower material guiding portions decreases from the rear to the front.

[0079] In actual use, the material can be conveyed from the material feeding conveying mechanism 110 to between the two guiding conveying assemblies, and the two guiding conveying assemblies can clamp and convey the left and right ends of the material to enable the material to be conveyed to the upper side of the material stacking supporting portion. The material is pushed downward under the action of the lower material guiding portion, so that the material is separated from the two guiding conveying assemblies and falls on the material stacking supporting portion. Then, the material stacking member moves downward, and the top end of the brick on the material stacking supporting portion just falls below the material feeding conveying surface, and the brick is stacked again.

[0080] The material stacking member has another embodiment. The material stacking member includes a suction material moving assembly for moving the material from the downstream end of the material feeding conveying mechanism 110 to the upper side of the material stacking supporting portion. Specifically, the suction material moving assembly includes a suction member and a moving module. The suction member is in communication with a negative pressure generating element, and the moving module can be a double-shaft moving module. The suction member is driven to move forward and backward or to move up and down along the front-rear direction and the up-down direction through linear modules arranged along the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, so that the material is taken and placed by the suction member to realize the movement of the material from the downstream end of the material feeding conveying mechanism 110 to the upper side of the material stacking supporting portion.

[0081] In some embodiments, the stacking member is arranged in the material moving clamp 510 to avoid collision with the material moving device 500 or to require complicated actions for mutual avoidance. The material clamping part of the material moving clamp 510 encloses a material clamping space. In actual use, when stacking is required, the suction accessory moves downward from the upper side of the material clamping space to perform suction and material moving. After stacking is completed, the suction accessory is retracted upward to the upper side of the material clamping space to avoid hindering the material moving action.

[0082] In a third embodiment of the stacking mechanism, the stacking mechanism comprises a jacking member and a plurality of material supporting members. The jacking member is used to lift the material in the first station upward. The plurality of material supporting members are used to support the material at different positions of the edge of the material.

[0083] In the third embodiment, the material feeding conveyor 100 comprises two spaced apart material feeding mechanisms 110. The two material feeding mechanisms 110 form a material feeding surface for supporting and conveying the material. The jacking member has a jacking part arranged between the two material feeding mechanisms 110 and extending upward from below to the upper side of the material feeding surface. The jacking part is driven by a linear driving member such as an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod or a screw nut driving assembly. The plurality of material supporting members are uniformly distributed on opposite sides of the first station. The heights of the plurality of material supporting members are flush with each other and higher than the material feeding surface.

[0084] In actual use, the brick material is conveyed by the material feeding mechanism 110 to the upper side of the jacking member. The jacking part moves upward to lift the material upward. The plurality of material supporting members support the edge of the material to enable the material to be erected above the downstream end of the material feeding mechanism 110. Then, the jacking part is retracted downward below the material feeding surface to lift the material again for the next time to form a material stack by lifting the material in sequence.

[0085] The material supporting member can be an elastically arranged pawl. The plurality of material supporting members have oppositely arranged pawl parts. The plurality of pawl parts enclose a material supporting space. When the material is lifted upward into the material supporting space, the pawl parts are pushed outward. When the material continues to rise above the pawl parts, the pawl parts are retracted inward under the action of the elastic force to be clamped on the edge of the material to support the material.

[0086] In the embodiment, the number of the paper bins 410 is two. The two paper bins 410 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the second station. The paper taking mechanism 420 comprises a bidirectional paper taking clamp 421 and a paper taking driving member 422. The bidirectional paper taking clamp 421 is arranged between the two paper bins 410 and has clamp paper portions respectively facing the two paper bins 410. The paper taking driving member 422 is used to drive the bidirectional paper taking clamp 421 to alternately take paper between the two paper bins 410. The paper bin 410 has a paper taking suction claw 411. The paper taking suction claw 411 is used to suction and take a wrapping paper from the top of a stacked wrapping paper material. In the embodiment, the paper taking driving member 422 is a linear module arranged along the left-right direction, which drives the bidirectional paper taking clamp 421 to move left and right. The bidirectional paper taking clamp 421 clamps the wrapping paper at the upper end of the paper bin 410 through the corresponding clamp paper portion and pulls the wrapping paper to the second station.

[0087] The folding device 600 of the application can adopt an existing folding device 600 for folding and forming the wrapping paper. The application will not be described in detail.

[0088] Further, the first station can be provided with a flattening mechanism for flattening the brick material. A plurality of the flattening mechanisms are respectively arranged corresponding to the four edges of the brick material. The flattening mechanism drives the flattening member to abut the edges of the multiple pieces of stacked brick material, so that the multiple layers of brick material are aligned and overlapped. The flattening mechanism can refer to the existing structure. It is worth noting that the flattening mechanism needs to avoid the brick material on the feeding conveyor 100 or the rotating and stacking action of the brick material on the first station.
