Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of packaging equipment technology, and specifically discloses a packaging and conveying equipment for polymer waterproof materials. Background Technology

[0002] Roll-shaped waterproof materials (such as waterproof membranes) require outer packaging during production, storage, and transportation. Roll-shaped waterproof materials are usually sealed in plastic film bags or woven bags to prevent the waterproof materials from being contaminated, damp, or damaged.

[0003] Existing packaging methods largely rely on manual labor or semi-automated equipment. This equipment is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also produces inconsistent packaging quality. In particular, several operational difficulties often arise during the process of smoothly and evenly packing rolls of waterproof material into packaging bags: 1. The opening of the packaging bag is difficult to open due to static electricity or soft material, and it is easy to deviate during manual alignment, which will cause the roll of waterproof material to fail to enter in the center; 2. During the pushing process, the roll of waterproof material may get stuck due to uneven resistance, or even cause the packaging bag to tear. 3. Different specifications of roll waterproof materials have different diameters and lengths, which further increases the complexity of manual operation and the difficulty of controlling packaging consistency, thus affecting the overall packaging efficiency of roll waterproof materials.

[0004] Currently, some automated packaging equipment has attempted to solve the above problems, such as using robotic arms to grip packaging bags and combining pneumatic suction cups to assist in opening. However, these devices still have significant limitations in practical applications: First, the mechanical structure and control system are relatively complex, resulting in high equipment costs and difficult maintenance; second, they have poor adaptability to different specifications of roll-shaped waterproof materials and packaging bags, and adjusting the position of the mechanical grippers or the layout of the suction cups usually requires manual intervention, making it difficult to achieve rapid changeover and continuous production; third, during the process of inserting roll-shaped waterproof materials into bags, most devices lack effective dynamic guidance and internal support mechanisms, relying solely on external pushing, which easily leads to friction and squeezing between the roll material and the bag opening, and may even cause damage to the packaging bag or scratches on the surface of the roll material.

[0005] In addition, the opening state of the packaging bag in existing equipment is often not stable enough. Pneumatic adsorption is easily affected by the material and surface condition of the bag, resulting in inconsistent opening sizes of the packaging bag, which in turn affects the smooth introduction of the roll waterproof material.

[0006] More notably, existing technologies often lack an effective bag detachment mechanism after the rolled waterproof material enters the packaging bag. The packaging bag frequently fails to detach smoothly due to friction or electrostatic adsorption between itself and the guiding mechanism, requiring manual intervention. This not only increases the number of operational steps but also limits the reliability of continuous equipment operation. While some devices have simple ejection mechanisms, these can easily cause packaging bag deformation or displacement of the rolled waterproof material, affecting the packaging appearance and transportation safety.

[0007] In summary, existing packaging methods for roll-type waterproof materials are insufficient in terms of automation, adaptability, operational smoothness, and reliability, making it difficult to meet the demands of efficient, high-quality, and low-cost packaging in modern large-scale production.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a roll waterproof material packaging equipment with a reasonable structure, high degree of automation, and strong adaptability. This equipment should be able to automatically pick up and put down packaging bags, stably open the bag opening, smoothly introduce the roll material, and smoothly export the packaged material without frequent adjustments. This would systematically improve the operational efficiency, quality consistency, and production continuity of roll waterproof material packaging, reduce reliance on manual operations, and adapt to the production rhythm of multiple specifications and large batches. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a polymer waterproof material packaging and conveying device to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a polymer waterproof material packaging and conveying device, including a transport structure and a handling structure, wherein a support structure is distributed between the transport structure and the handling structure, the support structure includes a plurality of swing rods, and an abutment end is connected to one end of each swing rod away from the transport structure; the transport structure is used to transport roll-shaped waterproof material, and the handling structure is used to transport packaging bags. The handling structure includes a handling robot and a connecting seat distributed below the handling robot. A lower suction cup is connected to the connecting seat, and an upper suction cup is connected to the output end of the handling robot. The handling robot transports the packaging bag through the upper suction cup, and the lower suction cup attracts the opening end of the packaging bag, so that the opening end of the packaging bag can be smoothly fitted onto the support structure. When the open end of the packaging bag is fitted onto the support structure, the transport structure carries the roll of waterproof material through the support structure into the interior of the packaging bag, thereby enabling the packaging bag to package the roll of waterproof material.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the support structure further includes a mounting ring, a support piece is detachably fixed to the lower part of the mounting ring, mounting rings are fixed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the mounting ring, and the swing rod is rotatably connected to the mounting ring, the swing rod being an arc-shaped strip structure.

[0012] In the above technical solution, further, multiple swing rods form a mesh cavity for storing rolled waterproof material, which is used to guide the rolled waterproof material into the packaging bag. When the rolled waterproof material passes through the inside of the mesh cavity, the rolled waterproof material can push the abutting end, thereby causing the swing rod to flip on the rotating seat. A spring is connected between the swing rod and the mounting ring.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the conveying structure further includes a guide plate fixed to the lower part of the connecting seat, the guide plate being obliquely fixed on the connecting seat, and a base being fixed to the lower part of the guide plate.

[0014] In the above technical solution, a placement platform is further fixed at the lower end of the base near the guide plate, the packaging bag is placed on the placement platform, and the handling robot is distributed above the placement platform.

[0015] In the above technical solution, a mounting cover is further fixed to the rear side of the base, the fixed end of the handling robot is fixed to the mounting cover, and an electric slide rail for driving the handling robot to move laterally is provided on the mounting cover.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the transport structure further includes a conveyor fixed on the base, a discharge plate is fixedly inclined at the receiving end of the conveyor, and the discharge end of the conveyor is opposite to the receiving end of the support structure.

[0017] In the above technical solution, guide rods are fixed on both sides of the upper part of the conveyor, and a support rod is fixed on the side of the guide rod near the edge of the conveyor. The support rod is fixed on the conveyor.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the two guide rods further form an eight-shaped structure. The guide rods are bent rod-shaped structures. The end of the guide rod near the feeding plate is inclined towards the inside of the conveyor. The structure formed by the two guide rods drives the roll-shaped waterproof material to be conveyed to the support structure.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This equipment, through the coordinated operation of its transport, handling, and support structures, along with the synergistic adsorption of packaging bags by upper and lower suction cups, enables the packaging bag opening to open quickly, achieving full automation from bag retrieval, opening, bag fitting to the introduction of roll-shaped waterproof material. This design significantly reduces manual intervention, avoiding common problems in traditional manual or semi-automatic packaging such as misalignment and bag closure, significantly improving the packaging speed of roll-shaped waterproof material and making the packaging operation continuous.

[0020] 2. The support structure in this equipment consists of multiple rotatable swing rods. These swing rods feature a spring-return design, allowing them to adaptively rotate and open the bag opening as the roll of waterproof material passes through, effectively guiding and supporting the material. This structure can accommodate rolls of waterproof material of different sizes and packaging bags of different specifications, ensuring the bag opening remains stably open throughout the packaging process. This prevents the waterproof material from getting stuck or the packaging bag from breaking, thus improving the success rate of packaging rolls of waterproof material.

[0021] 3. After the roll of waterproof material is loaded, the device uses its own weight to separate the packaging bag from the support structure, allowing it to slide smoothly out via a guide plate, thus automatically exporting the packaged product. Simultaneously, the swing rod in the support structure quickly resets under spring action, preparing for the next packaging cycle. This design ensures smooth transitions between stages, reduces downtime, and helps maintain efficient and continuous packaging processes. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Roll-type waterproofing materials (such as waterproof membranes) require outer packaging during production, storage, and transportation. This is typically achieved using plastic film bags or woven bags for sealing, to prevent contamination, moisture, or damage. Current packaging methods largely rely on manual labor or semi-automated equipment, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive but also results in inconsistent packaging quality. In particular, problems frequently arise during the process of smoothly and evenly loading the roll-type waterproofing material into the packaging bag, such as difficulty in opening the bag opening, misalignment, jamming of the roll-type waterproofing material, or damage to the packaging bag.

[0027] Currently, some automated packaging equipment has attempted to solve the above problems, such as using robotic arms to grip packaging bags and pneumatic suction cups to assist in opening. However, these devices are often complex in structure, have poor adaptability to different specifications of roll-shaped waterproof materials and packaging bags, and lack effective guiding and supporting mechanisms during the process of inserting roll-shaped waterproof materials into bags, resulting in an unsmooth packaging process for roll-shaped waterproof materials, which is prone to interference or malfunction.

[0028] In addition, existing equipment often struggles to achieve stable opening of the packaging bag opening and smooth detachment of the packaging bag after the roll material enters, affecting the overall reliability and efficiency of the packaging. To solve these problems, the following structure is proposed. Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: This invention is a packaging and conveying device for polymer waterproof materials, including a transport structure and a handling structure. A support structure is distributed between the transport structure and the handling structure. The support structure includes multiple swing rods 41. The end of the swing rod 41 facing away from the transport structure is connected to an abutment end 42. The transport structure is used to transport roll-shaped waterproof material 2, and the handling structure is used to transport packaging bags 6. The handling structure includes a handling robot 3 and a connecting seat 5 distributed below the handling robot 3. A lower suction cup 52 is connected to the connecting seat 5, and an upper suction cup 31 is connected to the output end of the handling robot 3. When the handling robot 3 transports the packaging bag 6 through the upper suction cup 31, the lower suction cup 52 can attract the opening end of the packaging bag 6, thereby enabling the opening end of the packaging bag 6 to be smoothly fitted onto the support structure. When the open end of the packaging bag 6 is fitted onto the support structure, the transport structure drives the roll of waterproof material 2 through the support structure. Subsequently, the support structure can drive the roll of waterproof material 2 into the interior of the packaging bag 6, thereby enabling the packaging bag 6 to package the roll of waterproof material 2.

[0029] The support structure also includes a mounting ring 43, with a support plate 4 detachably fixed to the lower part of the mounting ring 43. Rotary seats 44 are fixed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the mounting ring 43. The swing rod 41 is rotatably connected to the mounting ring 43 and has an arc-shaped strip structure.

[0030] Multiple swing rods 41 form a mesh cavity for storing the roll of waterproof material 2, which is used to guide the roll of waterproof material 2 into the packaging bag 6. When the roll of waterproof material 2 passes through the inside of the mesh cavity, the roll of waterproof material 2 can push the abutting end 42, thereby causing the swing rod 41 to flip on the turntable 44. A spring 45 is connected between the swing rod 41 and the mounting ring 43. The spring 45 can stably support the swing rod 41, so that the swing rod 41 is stably connected to the turntable 44.

[0031] The transport structure also includes a guide plate 51 fixed to the lower part of the connecting seat 5. The guide plate 51 is fixed at an angle to the connecting seat 5, and a base 11 is fixed to the lower part of the guide plate 51.

[0032] A placement platform 15 is fixed to the lower part of the base 11 near the guide plate 51. The packaging bag 6 is placed on the placement platform 15, and the handling robot 3 is distributed above the placement platform 15.

[0033] A mounting cover 14 is fixed to the rear side of the base 11. The fixed end of the handling robot 3 is fixed to the mounting cover 14. An electric slide rail for driving the handling robot 3 to move laterally is provided on the mounting cover 14. In actual use, the external robotic arm pre-places the packaging bags 6 on the placement platform 15. When the roll of waterproof material 2 needs to be placed inside the packaging bag 6, the external equipment pre-places the roll of waterproof material 2 on the transport structure. Both the upper suction cup 31 and the lower suction cup 52 are connected to external air pumps. When the external air pumps are working, the upper suction cup 31 and the lower suction cup 52 are in a negative pressure state. Then, the handling robotic arm 3 drives the upper suction cup 31 to adsorb the packaging bag 6. After the upper suction cup 31 adsorbs the packaging bag 6, the handling robotic arm 3 drives the opening end of the packaging bag 6 to approach the lower suction cup 52. The lower suction cup 52 can suck the air from the opening end of the packaging bag 6, thereby making the opening end of the packaging bag 6 open. When the opening of the packaging bag 6 is opened, the handling robot 3 drives the packaging bag 6 to fit onto the support structure through the upper suction cup 31. When the packaging bag 6 is fitted onto the support structure, the transport structure can drive the roll of waterproof material 2 through the inside of the support structure. When the roll of waterproof material 2 passes through the inside of the support structure, the roll of waterproof material 2 can push the abutting end 42. At this time, the abutting end 42 can drive the swing rod 41 to rotate on the turntable 44. When the swing rod 41 rotates on the turntable 44, the abutting end 42 can support the opening of the packaging bag 6. The abutting end 42 is a block structure with a smooth end, thereby realizing that the packaging bag 6 is stably fitted onto the swing rod 41, which makes it easy for the roll of waterproof material 2 to be placed into the packaging bag 6. When the swing rod 41 rotates on the turntable 44, the spring 45 is in a state of stored force. When the roll of waterproof material 2 passes through the inside of the support structure, the spring 45 can drive the swing rod 41 to reset by its own restoring force, which makes it easier for the subsequent packaging bag 6 to be put on the mesh cavity composed of multiple swing rods 41. When the roll of waterproof material 2 is placed inside the packaging bag 6, the roll of waterproof material 2 can use its own weight to pull the packaging bag 6 away from the support structure. This allows the packaging bag 6 to package the roll of waterproof material 2. After the packaging bag 6 is separated from the support structure, the roll of waterproof material 2 can pull the packaging bag 6 to fall onto the guide plate 51. Then the guide plate 51 will transport the packaged roll of waterproof material 2 to external equipment, which will facilitate the subsequent sealing of the storage opening of the packaging bag 6 by the external equipment.

[0034] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-8 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution. Unlike Embodiment 1, the guide rods 13 distributed on the conveyor 12 in this embodiment can guide the roll of waterproof material 2, thereby facilitating the transport of the roll of waterproof material 2 on the conveyor 12 into the support structure, and facilitating the packaging bag 6 on the support structure to package the roll of waterproof material 2.

[0035] The transport structure includes a conveyor 12 fixed on the base 11. The receiving end of the conveyor 12 is inclinedly fixed with a discharge plate 1, and the discharge end of the conveyor 12 is opposite to the receiving end of the support structure.

[0036] Guide rods 13 are fixed on both sides of the upper part of the conveyor 12. A support rod 16 is fixed on the side of the guide rod 13 near the edge of the conveyor 12. The support rod 16 is fixed on the conveyor 12.

[0037] Two guide rods 13 form a figure-eight structure. The guide rods 13 are bent rod-shaped structures. The end of the guide rod 13 near the feeding plate 1 is inclined towards the inside of the conveyor 12. The structure formed by the two guide rods 13 drives the roll-shaped waterproof material 2 to be conveyed to the support structure. In actual use, the feeding plate 1 can drive the roll of waterproof material 2 to be conveyed to the conveyor 12. The guide rods 13 distributed on the conveyor 12 can guide the roll of waterproof material 2, so that the roll of waterproof material 2 on the conveyor 12 can be conveyed into the support structure, and the packaging bag 6 on the support structure can package the roll of waterproof material 2. Since the guide rod 13 is fixed with a support rod 16 on the side near the edge of the conveyor 12, and the support rod 16 is fixed on the conveyor 12, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and install the guide rod 13 through the support rod 16, and to replace the guide rod 13.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
