Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of transfer devices, and in particular relates to a device for automatically feeding and discharging loose bags into and out of a basket. Background Art

[0002] When bags are put in and out of the basket, they are generally transferred by forks. First, the bags are transported to the forks. After multiple bags are stacked to a certain height, the forks transfer the multiple bags on them to the basket for entry. However, in the process of transporting the bags to the forks in sequence, because the forks are composed of multiple fork bodies arranged at intervals, when the first bag is transported to the forks, the part of the bag located between two adjacent forks will collapse. As more and more bags are stacked on it, the collapse will become more and more serious, resulting in an unstable stacking state of the bags, and the collapsed part will interfere with the protrusions in the basket during the entry process, resulting in failure to enter the basket, or when the fork body forks into the bottom of the basket to transfer the bags in the basket when taking out the basket, there is a risk of the fork body puncturing the collapsed part of the bag. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: in order to solve the problem in the prior art that when bags are transported by forks, the bags collapse seriously, resulting in an unstable stacking state or the bags are at risk of being punctured, a device for automatically feeding and discharging loose bags into and out of a basket is now provided.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a device for automatically feeding and discharging loose bags into and out of a basket, comprising:

[0005] Skeleton unit;

[0006] A material basket, located at one end of the skeleton unit;

[0007] A fork unit is slidably disposed on the frame unit and is used to transfer bags thereon into a material basket, and comprises a plurality of fork bodies disposed at intervals;

[0008] A lifting supporting platform is provided for supporting the bag between two adjacent fork bodies.

[0009] When in use, first drive the supporting platform up to be roughly flush with the fork unit, and the conveying mechanism conveys the first bag to the fork unit. At this time, due to the support of the supporting platform, the first bag will not collapse or will only have a small collapse. Then the conveying mechanism conveys multiple bags to the fork unit in turn for palletizing. During the palletizing process, as the number of bags increases and the weight becomes heavier, the first bag at the bottom is compacted and its shape is solidified. At this time, the supporting platform is moved down, and the bags after the shape is solidified will not deform or collapse. Finally, the fork unit moves horizontally and transfers the bags on it to the inside of the basket for placement into the basket.

[0010] The above technical solution utilizes a liftable supporting platform to support the bags on the fork unit when they are being stacked, thereby preventing the bags from seriously collapsing and causing failure to enter the basket or puncturing the bags.

[0011] Furthermore, the supporting platform includes a supporting frame, a plurality of support blocks arranged at intervals on the top of the supporting frame, a linear reciprocating drive mechanism arranged at the bottom of the supporting frame, and a base for installing the linear reciprocating drive mechanism; the linear reciprocating motion mechanism drives the supporting frame and the support blocks thereon to rise and fall.

[0012] Furthermore, the support block is spaced apart from the fork body, and the linear reciprocating motion mechanism drives the support block to move upward between two adjacent fork bodies to support the bag between the two adjacent fork bodies.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide shaft for guiding the lifting and lowering of the supporting frame is installed between the supporting frame and the base, and the linear motion accuracy of the supporting platform can be improved through the guide shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the skeleton unit is equipped with a translation drive for driving the fork unit to translate, and the translation drive includes a motor, a driving wheel connected to the output shaft of the motor, a driven wheel, a transmission chain wound between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and a connecting piece for connecting the transmission chain and the fork unit; starting the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the transmission chain and the driven wheel rotate synchronously, driving the connecting piece and the fork unit to translate.

[0015] Furthermore, the material basket includes a bottom basket and a plurality of spaced protrusions fixed on the bottom basket, with space for the fork body to enter being left between adjacent protrusions; when entering the basket, the fork body of the fork unit is inserted between two protrusions to transfer the bags on the fork unit into the material basket.

[0016] Furthermore, the material basket also includes a top basket, columns supported between the top basket and the bottom basket, and diagonal ribs.

[0017] Furthermore, a hollow socket is provided at the bottom of the bottom basket, and a plug connector matching the socket is provided at the top of the top basket. The two adjacent baskets can be stacked by inserting the plug connector of one of the baskets into the socket of the other basket.

[0018] Furthermore, a guiding slope is provided at one end of the projection close to the fork unit. When the fork is gradually inserted between the two projections, the guiding slope first contacts the bag on the fork, which can play a certain guiding role.

[0019] Furthermore, the fork body is a cylindrical structure, and its head is a conical structure. When the fork unit is inserted into the basket and gradually withdrawn, the friction between the cylindrical fork body and the bag is smaller, which is more conducive to its extraction and thus transferring the bag to the protrusion.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model uses a liftable supporting platform to support the bags on the fork unit when they are being stacked, thereby preventing the bags from seriously collapsing and causing failure to enter the basket or puncturing of the bags.

[0034] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the utility model is a device for automatically feeding and discharging bulk bags into and out of a basket, comprising a skeleton unit 1, a basket 2 arranged at one end of the skeleton unit 1, a fork unit 3 slidably arranged on the skeleton unit 1, a lifting supporting platform 4, and a translation drive 5 for driving the fork unit 3 to translate;

[0037] The fork unit 3 is used to transfer the bags on it to the basket 2, and includes a plurality of fork bodies 301 arranged at intervals. The fork bodies 301 are cylindrical structures. When the bags are put into the basket, the fork unit 3 is inserted into the basket 2 and gradually withdraws. The fork body 301 with a cylindrical structure has a smaller friction with the bags, which is more conducive to the extraction of the bags and thus transferring the bags to the basket 2. The head of the fork body 301 is a conical structure. When the bags are taken out of the basket, the conical head is conducive to the fork body 301 inserting into the basket 2 to transfer the bags in the basket 2 to the fork unit 3.

[0038] The material basket 2 includes a top basket 203, a bottom basket 201, a column 204 and an oblique rib 205 supported between the top basket 203 and the bottom basket 201. A hollow socket 206 is provided at the bottom of the bottom basket 201, and a plug connector 207 matching the socket 206 is provided at the top of the top basket 203. The two adjacent material baskets 2 can be stacked by inserting the plug connector 207 of one of the material baskets 2 into the socket 206 of the other material basket 2. The skeleton unit 1 is provided with a positioning column 101 that cooperates with the socket 206. The positioning column 101 is inserted into the socket 206 to position the material basket 2.

[0039] The bottom basket 201 is provided with a plurality of spaced protrusions 202, with a space for the fork body 301 to be inserted between two adjacent protrusions 202, and a guide slope 2021 is provided on the side of the protrusion 202 close to the fork unit 3; when the fork 301 is inserted into the basket, when the fork body 301 is gradually inserted between the two protrusions 202, the guide slope 2021 first contacts the bag on the fork, which can play a certain guiding role;

[0040] The supporting platform 4 is located below the fork unit 3 and is used to support the bags between two adjacent fork bodies 301. The supporting platform 4 includes a supporting frame 401, a plurality of support blocks 402 arranged at intervals on the top of the supporting frame 401, a linear reciprocating drive mechanism 403 arranged at the bottom of the supporting frame 401, and a base 404 for installing the linear reciprocating drive mechanism 403. The support blocks 402 are arranged at intervals from the fork bodies 301, and the linear reciprocating drive mechanism drives the support blocks 402 to move upward between the two adjacent fork bodies 301 to support the bags between the two adjacent fork bodies 301.

[0041] A guide shaft 405 for guiding the lifting and lowering of the support frame 401 is installed between the support frame 401 and the base 404. The guide shaft 405 is slidably inserted inside the base 404, and a bushing is installed between the two. One end of the guide shaft 405 is fixed to the support frame 401. The guide shaft 405 can improve the linear motion accuracy of the support frame 401.

[0042] The translation drive 5 includes a motor 501, a driving wheel 502 connected to the output shaft of the motor 501, a driven wheel 503, a transmission chain 504 wound between the driving wheel 502 and the driven wheel 503, and a connecting piece 505 for connecting the transmission chain 504 and the fork unit 3, and a guide rail is provided on the skeleton unit 1, and a slider matching the guide rail is provided at the bottom of the fork unit 3; starting the motor 501 drives the driving wheel 502 to rotate, and the transmission chain 504 and the driven wheel 503 rotate synchronously, driving the connecting piece 505 and the fork unit 3 to perform translational movement.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] When in use, first drive the supporting platform 4 to move upward so that the supporting block 402 is roughly flush with the fork body 301, and the conveying mechanism conveys the first bag to the fork body 301. At this time, due to the support of the supporting platform 4, the first bag will not collapse or will only have a small collapse. Then the conveying mechanism conveys multiple bags to the fork unit 3 in turn for stacking. During the stacking process, as the number of bags increases and the weight becomes heavier, the first bag at the bottom is compacted and its shape is solidified. At this time, the supporting platform 4 is moved downward, and the bags after the shape is solidified will not deform or collapse. Finally, the fork unit 3 is translated to transfer the bags on it to the inside of the material basket 2 for entry into the basket.
