Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial flower production technology, and in particular to a multi-station automated artificial flower forming production line. Background Art

[0002] Artificial flowers, as decorative products widely used in various scenarios such as festival decoration, garden landscaping, and home beautification, are favored by the market due to their diverse shapes, ease of preservation, and bright colors. Currently, artificial flower products on the market mainly include single-layer petal type, multi-layer composite flower type, and irregular bionic flower type. This places high demands on the manufacturing process of artificial flowers, which must ensure that the structure is sturdy and beautiful, as well as have good consistency and production efficiency.

[0003] However, in the existing artificial flower manufacturing industry, most production processes still rely on manual labor. In particular, manual operation still dominates in key processes such as petal gluing, stacking and positioning, hot pressing, and sorting and unloading, resulting in many technical bottlenecks and practical difficulties.

[0004] Firstly, the current process for shaping and assembling artificial flowers mainly relies on workers to complete all steps from petal selection, gluing, splicing, to final shaping and handling. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also, due to its manual operation, the quality of the finished product is easily affected by factors such as worker skill and operating habits. Problems such as weak petal adhesion, misalignment, and displacement are prone to occur, seriously affecting the appearance consistency and structural stability of artificial flower products. Especially in multi-petal composite structures, the alignment accuracy between each layer of petals is required to be high, and manual placement makes it difficult to consistently ensure the accuracy of assembly, resulting in a generally low yield rate of finished products.

[0005] Secondly, some existing automated equipment only achieves single-station or single-step automation, such as automatic dispensing devices and automatic handling mechanisms. They cannot yet achieve truly continuous collaborative work on the entire production line. Multiple stations still require frequent manual handling, positioning, or adjustment, resulting in many interruptions in the entire production line process, poor process continuity, low collaborative efficiency, and difficulty in supporting the needs of large-scale, highly consistent industrial continuous operation.

[0006] Furthermore, we disclose a multi-station automated artificial flower forming production line to meet the actual needs of existing artificial flower forming technologies, which suffer from low forming efficiency, insufficient automation, and poor product consistency. Summary of the Invention

[0048] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a multi-station automated artificial flower forming production line includes:

[0049] The frame 1 has a feeding conveyor 2 installed on one side of the middle section of the frame 1 for conveying artificial flowers into the machine, and a discharge conveyor 3 installed on the side of the middle section of the frame 1 away from the feeding conveyor 2 for conveying the finished artificial flowers out of the machine.

[0051] Material handling component 5 is located on the side of the frame 1 away from the dispensing component 4. Material handling component 5 is used to pick up the artificial flowers for layout.

[0052] The layout component 6 is installed on one side of the upper middle part of the frame 1. The layout component 6 is used to hold the artificial flowers picked up by the material handling component 5.

[0053] The lifting component 7 is installed on one side of the layout component 6 on the frame 1. The lifting component 7 is used to lift the artificial flowers on the layout component 6. The material taking component 5 and the lifting component 7 are respectively set on both sides of the layout component 6.

[0054] The material discharge assembly 8 is installed on the frame 1 at the upper end of the material discharge conveying structure 3. The material discharge assembly 8 is used to shape and pick up the artificial flowers that have been arranged on the layout assembly 6 and place them on the material discharge conveying structure 3.

[0055] This multi-station automated artificial flower forming production line includes a frame 1, a feeding conveyor mechanism 2, a discharging conveyor structure 3, and multiple cooperating components such as dispensing, picking, arranging, lifting, and discharging. The feeding conveyor mechanism 2 transports the raw artificial flowers to the dispensing component 4. The dispensing component 4 uses a transmission mechanism driven by cylinders and servo motors to achieve precise dispensing of glue onto the surface of the artificial flowers. The picking component 5 uses a sliding mechanism driven by cylinders and a pneumatic suction device, in conjunction with a flipping mechanism, to complete the stable picking and handling of artificial flowers. The arranging component 6 uses a servo motor... The motor-driven rotating plate 63 and spherical seat 64 use negative pressure to adsorb the artificial flowers and achieve precise rotation and positioning, ensuring accurate layout. The lifting component 7, through a cylinder-driven sliding and rotating mechanism, combined with the negative pressure adsorption of the suction cup 79, partially lifts the penultimate artificial flower, assisting in the bonding between layers. The discharging component 8, combined with a servo motor-driven toothed belt 83 and a cylinder-controlled sliding mechanism, along with a hot-melt seat 87 with built-in hot-melt wire, heats and shapes the arranged artificial flowers, ensuring the stability of the finished product structure. Through the organic cooperation of mechanical and pneumatic systems, these components form a continuous automated operation process, significantly improving the production efficiency and product consistency of artificial flower forming. This solves the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency, and unstable quality associated with traditional manual operation, achieving highly efficient and automated production of multi-petal and multi-shaped artificial flowers.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the dispensing assembly 4 includes a first fixed seat 41 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 1. A first cylinder 46 is provided at the middle of the upper end of the first fixed seat 41. The output end of the first cylinder 46 passes through the first fixed seat 41 and is fixedly connected to a transmission frame 45. A transmission rod 43 is rotatably connected inside the transmission frame 45. A first servo motor 44 is installed on one side of the transmission frame 45. The output end of the first servo motor 44 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 43. A transmission block 42 is drivenly connected to the transmission rod 43. The transmission block 42 is slidably connected to the transmission frame 45. A dispensing cylinder 49 is provided on the side of the transmission block 42 away from the transmission frame 45. A connecting plate 47 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission frame 45. A push rod 48 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 47. The push rod 48 is elastically set on the connecting plate 47.

[0057] The dispensing assembly 4 includes a first fixed base 41 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 1. A first cylinder 46 is provided at the middle of the upper end of the first fixed base 41. The output end of the first cylinder 46 passes downward through the first fixed base 41 and is fixedly connected to a transmission frame 45 for driving the transmission frame 45 to reciprocate in the vertical direction. A transmission rod 43 is rotatably connected inside the transmission frame 45. One end of the transmission rod 43 is driven to rotate by a first servo motor 44 fixedly connected to it, thereby driving the transmission block 42 mounted on the transmission rod 43 to slide back and forth in the horizontal direction along the transmission frame 45. A dispensing cylinder 49 is fixedly fixed to one side of the transmission block 42. When the transmission block 42 rotates and moves with the transmission rod 43, the dispensing cylinder 49 can move in the horizontal plane along a preset trajectory to achieve precise dispensing operation on the petals. To ensure the overall integrity of the dispensing assembly 4... To ensure stability and coordination of vertical movement, a connecting plate 47 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the transmission frame 45. A spring-loaded abutment 48 is installed at the lower end of the connecting plate 47. The abutment 48 can buffer and position the dispensing part during the downward pressing of the dispensing cylinder 49, effectively improving dispensing accuracy and preventing the device from shifting due to inertial impact. Furthermore, when the dispensing cylinder 49 moves upward, it ensures that the artificial flower will not stick to it. Overall, the dispensing assembly 4 is vertically raised and lowered by a cylinder and horizontally adjusted by a servo motor, thereby completing the automatic and precise dispensing of artificial flower petals or other parts at designated positions. This structure has a controllable dispensing path, precise positioning, and wide adaptability, which can meet the automated dispensing requirements of various artificial flower structures and has good adaptability and stability.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the material handling assembly 5 includes a second fixed seat 51 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 1. A first sliding seat 53 is slidably connected to the lower end of the second fixed seat 51. A second cylinder 52 is installed on one side of the lower end of the second fixed seat 51. The output end of the second cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat 53. A fixed plate 55 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the first sliding seat 53. A mounting plate 59 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 55. A fourth cylinder 57 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 59. A pneumatic seat 58 is installed on the output end of the fourth cylinder 57. The pneumatic seat 58 is connected to an air pipe. A third cylinder 56 is rotatably connected to the middle of the end face of the first sliding seat 53 away from the second cylinder 52. A flipping block 54 is rotatably connected to the output end of the third cylinder 56. A rotating shaft is provided on the side of the flipping block 54 away from the output end of the third cylinder 56. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixed plate 55, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting plate 59 and the flipping block 54.

[0059] The material handling component 5 is used to accurately pick up petals or other parts from the upstream process and transport them to a designated position during the automatic forming process of artificial flowers. The component includes a second fixed seat 51 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 1. A first sliding seat 53 is slidably connected to the lower end of the second fixed seat 51. Driven by a second cylinder 52 located on one side of the second fixed seat 51, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat 53, the first sliding seat 53 can move up and down in the vertical direction. By controlling the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 52, the entire material handling assembly 5 can be moved up and down to complete the docking and operation at different height stations. A fixed plate 55 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the first sliding seat 53. An mounting plate 59 is provided on the fixed plate 55. A fourth cylinder 57 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 59. A pneumatic seat 58 is installed at its output end. The pneumatic seat 58 is connected to an external air source pipeline and can be used to generate suction to achieve adsorption and picking up of target objects. By controlling the extension and retraction of the fourth cylinder 57, the pneumatic seat 58 can be driven to extend or retract, thereby completing the forward contact and retraction action of the petals. With the pneumatic adsorption function, it can stably clamp or adsorb petal units of different materials and sizes. In addition, in order to improve the flexible adaptability between the picking station and the placement station, a third cylinder 56 is also engaged and rotatably connected to the middle of the end face of the first sliding seat 53 away from the second cylinder 52. A flipping block 54 is connected to the output end of the third cylinder 56 to realize the flipping control of the pneumatic seat 58 and its mounting structure. The other end of the flipping block 54 is provided with a rotating shaft, which is engaged and rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixed plate 55. It is also fixedly connected to the mounting plate 59 and the flipping block 54 through its two ends. When the third cylinder 56 extends or retracts, it drives the flipping block 54 to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby realizing the overall angle switching of the pneumatic seat 58 to meet the needs of different picking postures and improve the adaptability of the component under complex working conditions. Combining the above structure and action logic, the material picking component 5 realizes vertical lifting and lowering movement through the second cylinder 52, controls the forward and backward extension and picking action of the pneumatic seat 58 through the fourth cylinder 57, and realizes posture adjustment in combination with the third cylinder 56 and the flipping block 54 mechanism. It has multi-degree-of-freedom motion capability. This component is suitable for automatic picking, handling and positioning of petal-shaped lightweight workpieces. In the automatic artificial flower forming production line, it can work efficiently in conjunction with dispensing, layout and other stations, significantly improving production efficiency and assembly accuracy. It has technical advantages such as compact structure, flexible action and strong adaptability.

A rotating plate 63 is rotatably engaged at the upper end of the mounting base 62. A hollow spherical seat 64 is located in the center of the upper end of the rotating plate 63. Multiple sets of through holes 65 are evenly distributed on the surface of the spherical seat 64. An air pipe is provided on the mounting base 62 and communicates with the interior of the spherical seat 64. This air pipe generates negative pressure to adsorb the artificial flowers onto the surface of the spherical seat 64. Through this negative pressure adsorption, the artificial flowers are firmly fixed to the surface of the spherical seat 64, preventing subsequent... If slippage or misalignment occurs during handling and positioning, a second servo motor 61 is provided at the lower end of the mounting base 62. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 63, driving the rotating plate 63 and the spherical seat 64 on it to rotate, thereby realizing the angle adjustment and precise layout of the adsorbed artificial flowers. Overall, the layout component 6 adsorbs artificial flowers through the negative pressure of the air tube, combined with the rotation of the rotating plate 63 and the spherical seat 64 driven by the servo motor, ensuring the stability and positioning accuracy of the artificial flowers during the layout process, and improving the operating efficiency and finished product consistency of the automated production line.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the lifting assembly 7 includes a third fixed seat 71 fixedly connected to the lower end of the top surface inside the frame 1. A second sliding seat 72 is slidably connected to the lower end of the third fixed seat 71. The second sliding seat 72 is slidably connected to the lower end of the third fixed seat 71 via a cylinder. A rotating plate 74 is rotatably connected to one side of the lower end of the second sliding seat 72. A fifth cylinder 73 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the second sliding seat 72 away from the rotating plate 74. The output end of the fifth cylinder 73 is engaged and rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 74. A rocker arm 78 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating plate 74. A suction cup 79 is installed at the lower end of the rocker arm 78 and is connected to an air pipe. An mounting plate 75 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end face of the second sliding seat 72. A sixth cylinder 76 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper end face of the mounting plate 75. A connector 77 is engaged and rotatably connected to the output end of the sixth cylinder 76. The lower end face of the connector 77 away from the sixth cylinder 76 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rocker arm 78.

[0063] The lifting assembly 7 is fixedly connected to the third fixed seat 71 at the lower end of the top surface inside the frame 1. The lower end of the third fixed seat 71 is slidably connected to the second sliding seat 72. The second sliding seat 72 reciprocates at the lower end of the third fixed seat 71 via a cylinder. A rotating plate 74 is rotatably connected to one side of the lower end of the second sliding seat 72. A fifth cylinder 73 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 74 away from the second sliding seat 72. The output end of the fifth cylinder 73 is engaged and rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 74. A rocker arm 78 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating plate 74. A suction cup 79 connected to an air pipe is installed at the lower end of the rocker arm 78. In addition, a mounting plate 75 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end face of the second sliding seat 72. A sixth cylinder 76 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper end face of the mounting plate 75. A connector 77 is engaged and rotatably connected to the output end of the sixth cylinder 76. The lower end face of the connector 77 away from the sixth cylinder 76 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rocker arm 78. The extension and retraction of the sixth cylinder 76 drives the connecting piece 77 and the rocker arm 78 to rotate around the pivot point, thereby controlling the flipping action of the suction cup 79. During the layout process, the lifting assembly 7 first drives the second sliding seat 72 to slide horizontally via the cylinder, causing the suction cup 79 to move to one side of the second-to-last artificial flower. Subsequently, the fifth cylinder 73 drives the rotating plate 74 to rotate, causing the rocker arm 78 and the suction cup 79 to flip one side of the second-to-last artificial flower upward, realizing a partial lifting action. The suction cup 79 uses negative pressure through the air tube to adsorb the artificial flower, ensuring the stability and precision of the lifting action. Next, the sixth cylinder 76 controls the rotation of the suction cup 79, keeping the lifted petals at a predetermined angle. This lifting action causes one side of the penultimate artificial flower to lift up, creating conditions for the last artificial flower to be picked up and placed by the picking component 5. When the last artificial flower is put down, the side of the petal lifted by the lifting component 7 adheres to the last petal through the adhesive applied by the dispensing component 4, forming a stable adhesive connection. Through the sequential adhesion of each artificial petal, a complete flower shape is finally formed. In summary, the lifting component 7 realizes the translation, rotation, and lifting action of the suction cup 79 through cylinder drive, and the negative pressure adsorption ensures the stability of the lifting action, effectively assisting in the precise stacking and bonding of artificial petals, ensuring the continuity of the petal stacking process and the quality of the finished product in the automatic artificial flower forming production line, and has the technical advantages of reasonable structure, precise action and stable process.

[0065] The discharge assembly 8 is fixedly installed on the fourth fixed seat 81 at the lower end of the top surface inside the frame 1. A third servo motor 82 is installed on one side of the fourth fixed seat 81. The output end of the third servo motor 82 drives the toothed belts 83 installed at both ends of the third servo motor 82 to rotate through a meshing connection. The toothed belts 83 transmit power to the transmission mechanisms at both ends of the fourth fixed seat 81 through their wrapping structure, driving the connecting seat 88 to slide linearly along one side of the lower end of the fixed seat. A seventh cylinder 84 is installed on the upper end of the connecting seat 88. The output end of the seventh cylinder 84 passes through the connecting seat 88 and is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 85. Guide posts are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 85. The guide posts are slidably connected to the connecting seat 88 to ensure the stable sliding and guidance of the connecting plate 85 on the connecting seat 88 and to prevent movement. When a misalignment occurs, a meshing block 89 is fixedly connected to the corner position on one side of the upper end face of the connecting seat 88. The lower end face of the meshing block 89 has a toothed groove, which meshes with the toothed belt 83 to ensure synchronous transmission between the meshing block 89 and the toothed belt 83, thereby achieving precise positioning and motion control of the connecting seat 88 and the connecting plate 85. An eighth cylinder 86 is mounted on one side of the connecting plate 85 via a bracket. The output end of the eighth cylinder 86 passes through the connecting plate 85 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hot melt seat 87. The hot melt seat 87 is located at the lower end of the connecting plate 85, away from the seventh cylinder 84. Its lower end has an inwardly recessed spherical groove, in which a hot melt wire is installed. The hot melt wire heats up when energized, and the hot melt seat 87 heats and shapes the arranged artificial flower. The heating of the hot melt wire causes the hot melt wire to heat up and shape the artificial flower. The hot-melt material inside the melting seat 87 softens, causing the adhesive or structural components between the artificial petals to achieve a stable bond, ensuring the molding stability and structural strength of the artificial flower. The upper end of the hot-melt seat 87 is equipped with an air pipe interface connected to an air pipe for conveying cooling medium or gas, assisting in the temperature regulation and control of the hot-melt seat 87, preventing overheating and damage to the artificial flower material, and ensuring the safety and stability of the shaping process. During operation, the third servo motor 82 drives the toothed belt 83 to rotate, causing the connecting seat 88 and connecting plate 85 to move linearly along the guide rail, accurately aligning the hot-melt seat 87 with the finished artificial flower position. Subsequently, the eighth cylinder 86 drives the hot-melt seat 87 to move up and down, achieving heating, pressing, and shaping of the artificial flower. Through heating with hot-melt wires, the petals... The adhesive is heated and cured to form a strong bond. After shaping, the servo motor reverses its direction, moving the connecting seat 88 and connecting plate 85 away to prepare for the next set of artificial flowers. In summary, the feeding assembly 8 achieves precise linear movement of the connecting seat 88 through the servo motor and toothed belt 83. The seventh cylinder 84 controls the sliding stability of the connecting plate 85. The eighth cylinder 86 drives the hot melt seat 87 to press up and down in conjunction with the hot melt wire to heat and shape the flower. The air pipe interface allows the flower to be adsorbed onto the lower end of the hot melt seat 87 after shaping. Then, the third servo motor 82 reverses its direction, moving the flower to the upper end of the feeding conveyor structure 3 to complete the feeding process. This ensures the efficiency, stability, and safety of the artificial flower shaping process. This structure realizes automated continuous feeding and shaping functions.This significantly improved the overall production efficiency and product quality of the automated artificial flower forming production line.
