Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a conveying device of pen packaging equipment. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese utility patent with publication number CN219313214U discloses a drop-feeding device for pen packaging equipment. Pens fall from a hopper onto a support plate and are then pushed by corresponding push blocks. The push blocks collect several pens into a group after passing through several hoppers, which is convenient for subsequent group packaging. In the packaging of colored pens, each hopper corresponds to one color. When ten pens of different colors need to be collected into a group, the thrust of the push block is not enough to overcome the resistance of each pen, resulting in pen jam. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background technology, the utility model aims to provide a conveying device for pen packaging equipment, in which the pens are carried by the supporting section of the material transfer member, thereby effectively solving the problem of pen jamming during pushing.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: the conveying device of the pen packaging equipment comprises a blanking mechanism and a conveying mechanism, the blanking mechanism comprises a plurality of bins, the bins have a blanking port, the conveying mechanism is located below the blanking mechanism, the conveying mechanism comprises a supporting plate, wherein the conveying mechanism also comprises a moving member, the moving member has a supporting section, the moving member has a first position and a second position, the second position is located after the first position along the conveying direction, when the moving member is in the first position, the supporting section is lower than the supporting plate, when the moving member is in the second position, the supporting section is higher than the supporting plate, the moving member reciprocates between the second position and the first position, a picking station and a discharging station are provided on the supporting plate, the discharging station is located after the picking station along the conveying direction, when the moving member moves from the first position to the second position, the moving member passes through the picking station, and when the moving member moves from the second position to the first position, the moving member passes through the discharging station.

[0005] In this solution, when the material moving part moves from the first position to the second position, the supporting section passes through the material picking station to lift the pen from the supporting plate and transport it backwards. When the material moving part moves from the second position to the first position, the supporting section passes through the material discharging station to place the pen on the supporting plate and reset it, avoiding the problem of pen jamming during pushing.

[0006] Preferably, the material moving member is arranged to be lifted and lowered and to be moved horizontally.

[0007] In this solution, the lifting and lowering of the material moving member can lift the pen from the material supporting plate and put the pen on the material supporting plate, and the horizontal movement of the material moving member can complete the movement of the pen in the conveying direction.

[0008] Preferably, the conveying mechanism also includes a connecting rod assembly, which includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, one end of the first connecting rod and one end of the second connecting rod are both rotatably arranged, the other end of the first connecting rod and the other end of the second connecting rod are both hinged to the material moving piece, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are parallel and equal in length.

[0009] In this solution, the endpoints of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod form a parallelogram. When the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod swing around the rotation point, they will drive the moving part to move along an arc to complete the pen lifting and support and pen putting down and resetting.

[0010] Preferably, a lifting cylinder is provided under the material moving part, and the lifting cylinder drives the material moving part to rise and fall. The lifting cylinder is installed on the mounting plate through a mounting block, and the mounting block is slidably set on a slide rail. The mounting plate is connected to a moving block, and the moving block is threadedly connected to a screw, and the screw is connected to a motor transmission, and the screw is horizontally arranged along the conveying direction.

[0011] In this solution, the lifting cylinder drives the material moving part to rise and lift the pen, and the lifting cylinder drives the material moving part to descend and put the pen down. The motor drives the screw to rotate so that the threaded moving block moves along the screw to drive the mounting plate to move horizontally, forming a U-shaped trajectory. The mounting block slides along the slide rail to guide the horizontal movement of the mounting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the material moving member is provided with protruding material stopping portions at intervals, the material supporting sections are connected to adjacent material stopping portions, and when the material moving member is in the first position, the material stopping portions are higher than the material supporting plate and the material drop opening is located between adjacent material stopping portions.

[0014] Preferably, the material moving member also has a third position, and the third position is located between the second position and the first position along the conveying direction. When the material moving member is in the second position, the material blocking portion is higher than the material supporting plate. When the material moving member is in the third position, the material blocking portion and the material supporting section are both lower than the material supporting plate. When the material moving member passes through the material unloading station and moves to the first position, it needs to transition through the third position.

[0015] In this solution, the material blocking portion is lower than the material supporting plate so that the material moving member can avoid the pen supported on the material supporting plate when moving from the second position to the first position.

[0016] Preferably, the material supporting section is arranged at an incline.

[0017] In this solution, the supporting section is tilted so that when the supporting section supports the pens, the same group of pens will be brought closer due to gravity, and the pens can be prevented from shifting during the transport process.

[0018] Preferably, a flexible baffle is provided above the conveying mechanism, and the flexible baffle is arranged between adjacent material drop openings, and the flexible baffle gradually approaches the supporting plate along the conveying direction.

[0019] In this solution, the flexible baffle can prevent the grouped pens from affecting the falling of the pens in the silo.

[0020] Preferably, the flexible baffle and the material moving member are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0021] In this solution, the flexible baffle and the material moving member are staggered to prevent the material moving member from interfering with the flexible baffle when moving from the first position to the second position. At the same time, the flexible baffle can cooperate with the moving material moving member to scan the pens and group the pens in the same group.

[0022] Preferably, the supporting plate is provided with a plurality of gaps for the material moving member to pass through, the material moving member is arranged on a lifting plate for left-right adjustment, and the lifting plate is drivingly connected to the lifting cylinder.

[0023] In this solution, the material moving piece is transported through the supporting plate, and the material moving piece can be adjusted to pass through different gaps to accommodate the transport of pens of different lengths.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: when the material moving part moves from the first position to the second position, the material supporting section passes through the material taking station to lift the pen from the material supporting plate and supports it backwards; when the material moving part moves from the second position to the first position, the material supporting section passes through the material discharging station to place the pen on the material supporting plate and reset it, thus avoiding the problem of pen jamming during pushing; the material blocking part can separate pens from different groups, thus avoiding the mixing of pens from different groups during the material dropping or supporting process; the material supporting section is tilted so that when the material supporting section supports the pen, the pens of the same group will be close together due to gravity, thus avoiding the front and rear deviation of the pen during the supporting process.
