In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0037] The present embodiment provides a packaging bag transfer device, which is used to transfer packaging bags to a packaging bag processing station. In the present embodiment, the packaging bag transferred to the packaging bag processing station is an inner bag, which contains materials. The inner bag can be put into an outer bag at the packaging bag processing station to form a double-layer packaging bag. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the packaging bags transferred to the packaging bag processing station can also undergo other processing operations such as laser marking at the packaging bag processing station, and this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
[0038] See also Figures 1 to 8In this embodiment, the packaging bag transfer device includes a guide rail 110, a pushing mechanism 120, a transfer mechanism 130 and a carrier 140. The packaging bag is placed on the guide rail 110. Specifically, the upstream end of the guide rail 110 is connected to the material bagging station. The packaging bag containing the material can be transported from the material bagging station to the guide rail 110 by a robot or other transporting structure. There is no specific limitation on this in this embodiment.
[0039] The pushing mechanism 120 includes a pushing block 121 and a first driving member 122. The first driving member 122 is configured to drive the pushing block 121 to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 110 to push the packaging bag to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 110. The transfer mechanism 130 is configured to reciprocate the carrier 140 between the loading station 161 and the packaging bag processing station 162. When the carrier 140 is located at the loading station 161, the carrier 140 is docked with the downstream end of the guide rail 110, and the pushing block 121 can push the packaging bag Pushed into the carrier 140, the carrier 140 can carry the packaging bag to the packaging bag processing station 162. Based on the content mentioned above, in this embodiment, the packaging bag processing station 162 is provided with a push plate 200. The push plate 200 can push the packaging bag as an inner bag in the carrier 140 into the packaging bag as an outer bag. After that, the empty carrier 140 returns to the loading station 161 to receive the material, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the packaging bag containing the material between the material bagging station and the packaging bag processing station 162.
[0040] It is understandable that in other optional embodiments, the packaging bag processing station 162 may also be provided with a laser machine or other functional structures to perform laser coding or other processing operations on the packaging bags containing materials. Accordingly, the packaging bags containing materials will be taken out of the carrier 140 at the packaging bag processing station 162. In this embodiment, no specific restrictions are imposed on the processing structure provided at the packaging bag processing station 162 and the processing operations performed.
[0041] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 120 can push the packaging bag containing the material into the carrier 140, so that the packaging bag containing the material can be automatically transferred from the material bagging station to the packaging bag processing station 162 with the help of the carrier 140. The entire process does not require human participation and is highly efficient, thereby meeting the needs of automated packaging and avoiding affecting the production efficiency of the automated packaging line.
[0042] It is worth noting that the first driving member 122 may be a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
[0043] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the packaging bag is placed on the guide rail 110 in an upright position, and a contoured groove 1211 is provided on the side of the push block 121 facing the downstream end of the guide rail 110. When the push block 121 pushes the packaging bag to move, the contoured groove 1211 is wrapped around the outside of the bag body on one side of the packaging bag, thereby ensuring that the push block 121 can push the packaging bag to move stably along the guide rail 110, thereby ensuring that the packaging bag can be accurately moved into the carrier 140.
[0044] Moreover, the packaging bag transfer device also includes a second driving member 150, which is configured to drive the guide rail 110 to rise and fall in the vertical direction to adjust the vertical distance between the push block 121 and the guide rail 110, so that the push block 121 can push against a position on the packaging bag close to the bottom of the bag, that is, this embodiment can prevent the push block 121 from overturning the packaging bag, and further ensure that the push block 121 can push the packaging bag to move stably along the guide rail 110.
[0045] It is worth noting that the second driving member 150 may be a linear driving structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
[0046] Preferably, the carrier 140 includes a bottom plate 141 and a limiting structure, the limiting structure includes a first limiting block 1421 and a second limiting block 1422, the first limiting block 1421 and the second limiting block 1422 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the bottom plate 141, the first limiting block 1421 and the second limiting block 1422 jointly surround and form a receiving cavity 143. When the carrier 140 is located at the loading station 161, the receiving cavity 143 is directly opposite to the guide rail 110, the push block 121 can push the packaging bag into the receiving cavity 143, and the first limiting block 1421 and the second limiting block 1422 can limit the packaging bag to position the packaging bag, thereby facilitating subsequent processing of the packaging bag.
[0047] Based on the above, the first limit block 1421 and the second limit block 1422 can move relative to or away from each other. Specifically, the carrier 140 also includes a frame 145, and a third driving member 1451 is installed on the frame 145. The third driving member 1451 can drive the first limit block 1421 and the second limit block 1422 to move relative to or away from each other. The bottom plate 141, the first limit block 1421, the second limit block 1422 and the frame 145 jointly form the accommodating cavity 143. When the carrier 140 is transported to the loading station 161, the first limit block 1421 and the second limit block 1422 move away from each other, thereby ensuring that the packaging bag can be moved into the accommodating cavity 143. After the packaging bag is moved into the accommodating cavity 143, the first limit block 1421 and the second limit block 1422 move relative to each other, thereby clamping the packaging bag, thereby achieving the positioning of the packaging bag.
[0048] It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, the third driving member 1451 is a bidirectional cylinder. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the third driving member 1451 may also be composed of two separate linear driving structures, which may be selected as cylinders or electric cylinders, etc., so as to respectively drive the first limit block 1421 and the second limit block 1422 to move. There is no specific limitation on this in the present embodiment.
[0049] Furthermore, the carrier 140 includes more than two limiting structures, all of which are surrounded by the bottom plate 141 to form a accommodating cavity 143. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the carrier 140 includes a bottom plate 141. In addition, the carrier 140 includes a frame 145, on which more than two third driving members 1451 are installed, so that more than two limiting structures are installed on the frame 145, thereby forming more than two accommodating cavities 143. The packaging bag transfer device includes more than two guide rails 110, and all guide rails 110 are correspondingly provided with a pushing mechanism 120. When the carrier 140 is located at the loading station 161, the more than two accommodating cavities 143 correspond one-to-one to the more than two guide rails 110, so that more than two packaging bags containing materials are supplied to the carrier 140 at one time, so that more than two packaging bags containing materials can be processed simultaneously at the packaging bag processing station 162, thereby improving the production efficiency of the automated packaging line.
[0050] Based on the above, the packaging bag processing station 162 is provided with more than two push plates 200, and the two or more push plates 200 are arranged one-to-one with the two or more accommodating chambers 143, so that the two or more inner bags in the carrier 140 can be pushed one by one into the two or more outer bags. Of course, for other optional embodiments, the packaging bag processing station 162 can also be provided with more than two laser machines or other functional structures, so as to perform laser coding or other processing operations on the two or more packaging bags containing materials.
[0051] In addition, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 130 includes a turntable 131 and a fourth driving member 133. The fourth driving member 133 is configured to drive the turntable 131 to rotate around its axis. The carrier 140 is installed on the turntable 131. The loading station 161 and the packaging bag processing station 162 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the turntable 131. During the rotation of the turntable 131 around its axis, the carrier 140 can be transferred from the loading station 161 to the packaging bag processing station 162, and can return to the loading station 161 later.
[0052] It is understandable that the fourth driving member 133 may be a driving structure such as a stepping motor or a servo motor, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0053] Based on the above, preferably, the loading station 161 and the packaging bag processing station 162 are arranged at radial intervals along the turntable 131, and four carriers 140 are installed on the turntable 131. The four carriers 140 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the turntable 131. The four carriers 140 can pass through the loading station 161 and the packaging bag processing station 162 in sequence, thereby shortening the interval time between two adjacent processing operations, and further improving the production efficiency of the automated packaging line.
[0054] In addition to the loading station 161 and the packaging bag processing station 162, the transfer mechanism 130 can also transport the carrier 140 to the packaging bag rejection station 163 and the defective product unloading station 164, wherein the packaging bag rejection station 163 and the defective product unloading station 164 are also arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the turntable 131, and the arrangement direction of the loading station 161 and the packaging bag processing station 162 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the packaging bag rejection station 163 and the defective product unloading station 164, and the turntable 131 can transport the carrier 140 from the loading station 161 to the packaging bag rejection station 163, the packaging bag processing station 162 and the defective product unloading station 164 in sequence, and then return to the loading station 161, that is, in this In the embodiment, the carrier 140 can first receive the packaging bag containing materials at the loading station 161, and then the carrier 140 is first transferred to the packaging bag rejection station 163, where unqualified packaging bags are rejected by a special rejection device, and then the carrier 140 continues to transfer to the packaging bag processing station 162, where the packaging bags containing materials are processed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the packaging bags containing materials are loaded into packaging bags that are outer bags at this station, and then the carrier 140 continues to transfer to the defective product unloading station 164, where the packaging bags that are not loaded into the outer bags are taken out from the carrier 140, and then the empty carrier 140 returns to the loading station 161.
[0055] Since the packaging bag containing the material needs to be loaded into the packaging bag as the outer bag in this embodiment, it is necessary to lift the carrier 140 for a certain distance in the vertical direction when transferring the carrier 140 from the loading station 161 to the packaging bag processing station 162, so as to facilitate the placement of the outer bag under the carrier 140. To this end, in this embodiment, the carrier 140 is slidably connected to the turntable 131 in the vertical direction, and the transfer mechanism 130 further includes a sleeve 132, which is coaxially arranged with the turntable 131, and the sleeve 132 is provided with a slide groove 1321 along its circumference. 0 is provided with a cam 144, and the cam 144 can roll along the slide groove 1321 when the carrier 140 rotates with the turntable 131. The carrier 140 located at the loading station 161 and the carrier 140 located at the packaging bag processing station 162 have a spacing in the vertical direction, that is, when the carrier 140 rotates from the loading station 161 to the packaging bag processing station 162, the carrier 140 will simultaneously rise in the vertical direction, and when the carrier 140 rotates from the packaging bag processing station 162 to the loading station 161, the carrier 140 will simultaneously descend in the vertical direction.
