Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic packaging equipment technology, and in particular to a fully automatic packaging system for ceramic packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Xiwa is a type of sintered colored tile, mainly used for roof decoration of buildings such as villas, small Western-style buildings, and pavilions. Its decorative effect is classical, elegant, and unique.

[0003] Currently, schnitzels are primarily packaged using fully automated packaging systems to improve packaging efficiency; however, existing fully automated schnitzel packaging systems generally use lifting devices for stacking the schnitzels.

[0004] For example, a fully automatic packaging system for building ceramics, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209455067U, includes three sets of elevators. The bottom ends of the three sets of elevators are fixedly connected to a first conveyor line, a second conveyor line, and a spare conveyor line. The first, second, and spare conveyor lines are equipped with brick blank inspection areas. The output ends of the first, second, and spare conveyor lines are all connected to brick stacking machines, and the output ends of the three sets of brick stacking machines are all connected to packaging conveyor lines. A deviation correction device is fixedly installed on the packaging conveyor lines. From right to left, the packaging conveyor lines are fixedly equipped with a first packing machine, a second packing machine, a third packing machine, and a spare packing machine. The output ends of the first, second, third, and spare packing machines are connected to a finished product conveyor line. An automatic palletizing robot is fixedly installed at the output end of the finished product conveyor line. Finished product pallets are located at both the upper and lower ends of the automatic palletizing robot, and forklifts are located at the left ends of both the upper and lower sets of finished product pallets.

[0005] For example, a tile stacking device, as described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210504469U, includes a main frame; a secondary frame disposed on one side of the main frame, on which a brick feeding conveyor is mounted; a brick clamping belt assembly disposed on the main frame, with its inlet end stacked on both sides of the outlet end of the brick feeding conveyor, and an identification sensor disposed near the inlet end of the brick clamping belt assembly; two sets of opposing movable brick blocking assemblies and fixed brick blocking assemblies disposed inside the brick clamping belt assembly; a brick discharge belt assembly disposed on the main frame below the brick clamping belt assembly; and a lifting and stacking brick assembly disposed vertically and opposite to the brick discharge belt assembly on the main frame, located below the fixed brick blocking assembly.

[0006] Both of the above structures use liftable hoists or lifting stacking brick components for stacking bricks. In actual use, this type of structure has the problem that the speed of the conveying device is uncontrollable. During high-speed conveying, the two tiles collide and are damaged. This not only damages the tiles but also requires manual intervention, which is not only time-consuming but also greatly increases the labor intensity of the employees. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automated packaging system for SWAT, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A fully automated packaging system for shingled tiles includes a conveying mechanism, an automatic tile-stacking device, an automatic strapping machine, an automatic bag-turning machine, and an automatic palletizing robot arranged sequentially. The output end of the conveying mechanism is connected to the automatic tile-stacking device, which transports the shingled tiles to the device. The automatic tile-stacking device stacks the tiles into multiple layers. The output end of the automatic tile-stacking device is connected to the automatic strapping machine, which bundles and packages the stacked tiles. The output end of the automatic strapping machine is connected to the automatic bag-turning machine, which flips the bundled tiles. The automatic palletizing robot transfers the tiles from the output end of the automatic bag-turning machine to a pallet. The system is characterized in that the automatic tile-stacking device... The device includes a tile feeding mechanism, a tile clamping mechanism, and a tile stacking platform. The tile feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame, N feeding units, N blocking units, and N detection units distributed along the length of the feeding frame. When the Nth detection unit detects that a tile has completely entered the Nth feeding unit, the Nth detection unit outputs a signal to the Nth blocking unit. The Nth blocking unit moves between the Nth feeding unit and the (N+1)th feeding unit, blocking the tile on the (N+1)th feeding unit. The tile clamping mechanism includes at least N grippers disposed above the tile feeding mechanism. Each of the N grippers corresponds to one of the N feeding units, and the grippers are used to clamp the feeding units and deliver them to the tile stacking platform.

[0010] Furthermore, a secondary buffer mechanism is provided between the automatic tile stacking device and the automatic strapping machine. The output end of the secondary buffer mechanism is connected to the automatic strapping machine. The secondary buffer mechanism is used to store the tiles that have been stacked on the tile stacking platform.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding unit includes at least a cross frame, a drive motor fixed to the bottom of the cross frame, and a feeding belt driven by the drive motor, the feeding belt being wound around the upper surface of the cross frame and the output end of the drive motor.

[0012] Furthermore, the material blocking unit includes two L-shaped stop bars and a material blocking drive cylinder that drives the two L-shaped stop bars to flip. One end of each L-shaped stop bar is rotatably connected to the crossbeam via a rotating shaft. The telescopic end of the material blocking drive cylinder is rotatably connected to the middle of the L-shaped stop bar. When the material blocking drive cylinder reciprocates, it drives the L-shaped stop bars to move closer to or further away from the two crossbeams.

[0013] Furthermore, the detection unit is an infrared sensor.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism also includes an X-axis drive assembly for driving the lateral movement of the clamping jaws and a Z-axis drive assembly for driving the vertical movement of the clamping jaws.

[0015] Furthermore, the gripper includes at least a left gripper, a right gripper, and a gripping drive cylinder. The two ends of the gripping drive cylinder are respectively connected to the left gripper and the right gripper, so that when the gripping drive cylinder reciprocates, it drives the left gripper and the right gripper to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0016] Furthermore, the shingled platform is a belt conveyor, and the output end of the shingled platform is connected to the secondary buffer mechanism.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution provides a fully automated packaging system for SWAT, which has at least the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The infeeding mechanism employs multiple feeding units, each independently driven. Once a feeding unit has entered the shimmering tile, the drive element stops operating, reducing friction between the shimmering tile and the belt, and minimizing belt wear.

[0019] 2. Each feeding unit is equipped with a blocking unit and a detection unit. After the previous feeding unit has entered the sieve, the blocking unit is raised to prevent the sieve on the next feeding unit from continuing to move forward, so as to avoid collision.

[0020] 3. After multiple tiles are fed into the tile feeding mechanism, the clamps on the tile clamping mechanism will clamp the multiple tiles fed into the tile feeding mechanism and send them to the tile stacking platform for stacking. This avoids collisions during the stacking process and improves the yield rate. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 6An automated packaging system for shingled tiles includes a conveying mechanism 10, an automatic tile stacking device 20, an automatic strapping machine 40, an automatic flipping machine 50, and an automatic palletizing robot 60 arranged sequentially. The output end of the conveying mechanism 10 is connected to the automatic tile stacking device 20, and the conveying mechanism 10 is used to convey shingled tiles to the automatic tile stacking device 20. The automatic tile stacking device 20 is used to stack shingled tiles into multiple layers. The output end of the automatic tile stacking device 20 is connected to the automatic strapping machine 40, and the automatic strapping machine 40 is used to bundle and package the stacked shingled tiles. The output end of the automatic strapping machine 40 is connected to the automatic flipping machine 50, and the automatic flipping machine 50 is used to flip the bundled and packaged shingled tiles. The automatic palletizing robot 60 is used to transfer the shingled tiles from the output end of the automatic flipping machine 50 to a tray.

[0037] The automatic tile stacking device 20 includes a tile feeding mechanism 21, a tile clamping mechanism 22, and a tile stacking platform 23. The tile feeding mechanism 21 includes a feeding frame 211, N feeding units 212, N blocking units 213, and N detection units 214 distributed along the length of the feeding frame 211. When the Nth detection unit 214 detects that the tile has completely entered the Nth feeding unit 212, the Nth detection unit 214 outputs a signal to the Nth blocking unit 213. The material blocking unit 213 moves between the Nth feeding unit 212 and the N+1th feeding unit 212, so that the Nth material blocking unit 213 blocks the tiles on the N+1th feeding unit 212. The tile clamping mechanism 22 includes at least N clamps 221 disposed above the tile feeding mechanism 21. The N clamps 221 correspond one-to-one with the N feeding units 212. The clamps 221 are used to clamp the feeding unit 212 and send it to the tile stacking platform 23.

[0038] As described above, the tile feeding mechanism 21 employs multiple feeding units 212, each of which is independently driven. When the first detection unit 214 detects that a tile has entered the first feeding unit 212, it sends signals to the first feeding unit 212 and the first blocking unit 213 respectively. The driving element of the first feeding unit 212 stops working, and the first blocking unit 213 performs a blocking action to prevent the tile on the second feeding unit 212 from continuing to advance. Similarly, when there are tiles in all N blocking units 213, the tile clamping mechanism 22 clamps multiple tiles together and sends them to the tile stacking platform 23 through the grippers 221. After multiple clamping operations, the tile stacking operation is completed.

[0039] In this embodiment, a secondary buffer mechanism 30 is provided between the automatic tile stacking device 20 and the automatic strapping machine 40. The output end of the secondary buffer mechanism 30 is connected to the automatic strapping machine 40. The secondary buffer mechanism 30 is used to store the tiles that have been stacked on the tile stacking platform 23.

[0040] Specifically, the feeding unit 212 includes at least a cross frame 2121, a drive motor 2122 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the cross frame 2121, and a feeding belt 2123 driven by the drive motor 2122. The feeding belt 2123 is wound around the upper surface of the cross frame 2121 and the output end of the drive motor 2122.

[0041] Specifically, the material blocking unit 213 includes two L-shaped stop bars 2131 and a material blocking drive cylinder 2132 that drives the two L-shaped stop bars 2131 to flip. One end of each L-shaped stop bar 2131 is rotatably connected to the cross frame 2121 via a rotating shaft. The telescopic end of the material blocking drive cylinder 2132 is rotatably connected to the middle of the L-shaped stop bars 2131. When the material blocking drive cylinder 2132 reciprocates, it drives the L-shaped stop bars 2131 to move closer to or further away from the two cross frames 2121.

[0042] Specifically, the detection unit 214 is an infrared sensor.

[0043] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 22 also includes an X-axis drive assembly 222 for driving the gripper 221 to move laterally and a Z-axis drive assembly 223 for driving the gripper 221 to move vertically.

[0044] Specifically, the gripper 221 includes at least a left gripper 2211, a right gripper 2212, and a gripping drive cylinder 2213. The two ends of the gripping drive cylinder 2213 are respectively connected to the left gripper 2211 and the right gripper 2212, so that when the gripping drive cylinder 2213 reciprocates, it drives the left gripper 2211 and the right gripper 2212 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0045] Specifically, the shingled platform 23 is a belt conveyor, and the output end of the shingled platform 23 is connected to the secondary buffer mechanism 30.
