Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a directional taking and placing device for packaged products. Background Art

[0002] With the development of mechanical automation, in order to improve production efficiency, more and more packaging products use automated mechanical equipment for packaging, conveying and other processes. In the packaging production process of some packaging materials such as candy and chocolate, in order to achieve the effect of aesthetics and stable placement when packing, it is generally necessary to maintain the consistency of the material holding direction. However, in the automatic packaging process of these spherical granular materials, after the machine completes the packaging of a single material, it generally drops it directly on the conveyor belt and transports it to the next station for boxing. Due to the lack of a suitable connection device and the instability of the shape of the spherical material itself, the spherical material cannot be transported in a unified and orderly direction after falling on the conveyor belt or other carrying devices. This results in the need to adjust the holding direction of each material in the subsequent boxing process, which undoubtedly increases the extra workload and reduces the boxing efficiency of the packaging product.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN219193686U discloses a reciprocating material taking mechanism, including a guide rail, a clamping assembly, a limiting part, a pushing assembly and a pressing part. The clamping assembly can move along the guide rail, and the clamping assembly includes an elastic member, a first clamp member and a second clamp member, the first clamp member has a first clamping part, the second clamp member has a second clamping part, and the first clamp member and the second clamp member are rotatably connected so that the first clamping part and the second clamping part are close to each other to switch to a clamping state, and away from each other to switch to a released state. The limiting member is used to keep the first clamping part and the second clamping part in a released state. The pushing assembly includes a resisting member, which is used to resist the limiting member so that the limiting member releases the limit on the clamping assembly. The pressing member can press the first clamp member so that the first clamping part and the second clamping part are switched to a released state, and drive the limiting part to limit the clamping assembly.

[0004] Although the material taking mechanism in the patent can realize the material taking and releasing, it cannot make the material maintain a predetermined direction after being released. In view of this, the utility model proposes a packaging product directional taking and placing device to ensure that the material can maintain a uniform and orderly direction to enter the conveying device, so as to improve the work efficiency of the subsequent boxing process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem in the prior art that some spherical packaged products cannot be transported in a uniform and orderly direction, and proposes a packaged product directional picking and placing device to ensure that the materials can enter the conveying device in a uniform and orderly direction, so as to improve the work efficiency of the subsequent boxing process.

[0034] When the utility model is in use, it is adaptively installed on one side of the packaging machine. The material 6 on the packaging machine is continuously conveyed in the form of a turntable. When the material 6 moves to be level with the clamping mechanism, the material picking drive assembly 3 drives the material picking component 2 to move to the material 6.

[0036] On the basis of Example 1, this example further illustrates the specific structures of the material taking drive assembly 3 and the push drive assembly 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 1-2As shown, the material taking drive assembly 3 can adopt a crank connecting rod linear reciprocating mechanism, including a first servo motor 305, an eccentric wheel 301, a first transmission assembly 302, a first slider 304 and a first slide rail 303 arranged on the frame 1.

[0038] Preferably, the material taking drive assembly 3 in this embodiment can also adopt other linear reciprocating conveying forms, such as a reciprocating motion mechanism with gear racks, etc.

[0039] In this embodiment, the push drive assembly 5 includes a second servo motor 501, a second transmission assembly 502, a second slider 504 and a second slide rail 503 arranged on the frame 1, the second slider 504 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 503, the power input end of the second transmission assembly 502 is connected to the power output end of the second servo motor 501, the power output end of the second transmission assembly 502 is connected to the second slider 504, and the second slider 504 is connected to the push member 4.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] On the basis of Example 2, this example further describes the structure of the material picking component 2. In this example, the material picking component 2 includes a material picking clamp 201 and an opening and closing driving member 202. The opening and closing driving member 202 is connected to the first slider 304 and moves synchronously with the first slider 304 along the first slide rail 303. The material picking clamp 201 is connected to the output end of the motor 202 through a transmission connecting rod 203. One end of the transmission connecting rod 203 is rotationally connected to the output shaft of the motor 202, and the other end is rotationally connected to the material picking clamp 201.

[0045] In this embodiment, the material picking clamp 201 includes a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw, and the clamping surfaces of the two clamping jaws are opposite to each other.

[0046] Preferably, the material taking component 2 can also adopt an electric clamp, a pneumatic clamp or other clamping components whose opening and closing can be controlled.

When the material picking component 2 reaches the material picking position, the material 6 is located between the two clamping claws of the material picking clamp 201, and then the opening and closing drive member 202 moves again to close the material picking clamp 201 to clamp the material, and at the same time, the material picking drive assembly 3 drives the material picking component 2 to return;

[0049] When the material picking clamp 201 returns to its original position with the material, the pushing drive assembly 5 drives the pushing part 4 to move downward. When the end face of the pushing part 4 contacts the material 6, the opening and closing drive member 202 operates to make the material picking clamp 201 begin to open. The pushing part 4 pushes the material 6 in the material picking clamp 201 to the loading platform below while keeping it in its original state. Then the pushing drive assembly 5 drives the pushing part 4 to move upward. The material 6 is transported to the next workstation in a uniform and orderly direction. The above actions are repeated to achieve continuous material picking and discharging.
