Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of production lines, and in particular to a storage device and a production line having the same. Background Art

[0002] Milk powder is a powder made from animal milk and after removing water, which can provide nutrients for infants or middle-aged and elderly people. In order to facilitate the storage and transportation of milk powder, milk powder is often packaged in milk powder cans. After canning, a series of tests are required to ensure that the milk powder in the milk powder can is of qualified quality and uniform quality.

[0003] In the related art, when milk powder cans are transported on a conveyor belt, after inspection, qualified products will continue to be transported along the conveyor belt, and unqualified products will be removed from the conveyor belt and placed in a collection box. During removal, the push rod of the cylinder is used to push the milk powder can into the collection box.

[0004] However, due to the high force of the cylinder, after the milk powder cans enter the collection box, they are scattered inside the box and may even fall over. Since the edges of the milk powder cans are particularly hard, they are prone to collisions, which may cause the milk powder cans that are mistakenly rejected to be deformed and damaged. When they are rejected and reused, the product quality is affected and customer complaints are generated. In addition, since the size of the collection box is generally small and the number of milk powder cans that can be accommodated is limited, the milk powder cans that have fallen over may flow back to the conveyor belt, causing congestion and damaging the plate chain, or the milk powder cans that should have been rejected may flow into the downstream process.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a storage device, which has a spiral channel 10. The upper end of the spiral channel 10 is an opening structure 11, and the opening structure 11 is arranged corresponding to the conveyor belt. The lower end of the spiral channel 10 is a closed structure. The can body can enter the spiral channel 10 from the opening structure 11 and slide to the lower end of the spiral channel 10.

[0029] By applying the technical solution of the utility model, the storage device has a spiral channel 10. After the can body is removed from the conveyor belt by the cylinder, the can body can enter the spiral channel 10 through the opening structure 11 at the upper end of the spiral channel 10, and slide to the lower end of the spiral channel 10 along the extension direction of the spiral channel 10. Since the lower end of the spiral channel 10 is a closed structure, the can body can be blocked and the can body stays in the spiral channel 10. Since the spiral channel 10 can only accommodate one can body at a time, the can bodies are arranged in sequence in the channel without being scattered, and the overturned can bodies will not enter the channel. At the same time, due to the guiding and limiting effect of the spiral channel 10 on the can body, the can body will not overturn in the spiral channel 10, and there will be no collision between the can bodies, so that the product quality is qualified.

[0030] Moreover, the can body can only slide along the extension direction of the spiral channel 10 without tipping over, and the can body slides from top to bottom without tipping over or flowing back to the conveyor belt, causing no congestion on the conveyor belt or flowing to downstream processes.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the spiral channel is slightly larger than the outer circumferential dimension of the tank body, and when the tank body slides from top to bottom, the inner wall of the spiral channel can limit the tank body so that the tank body will not tip over.

[0032] The storage device provided in this embodiment can be fixedly arranged on a corresponding bracket, or can be arranged on a conveying rack.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage device includes a plurality of limiting ribs 20, which extend in a spiral direction from top to bottom, and the plurality of limiting ribs 20 together form a spiral channel 10. The spiral channel 10 made of a plurality of limiting ribs 20 has the advantages of simple structure and easy processing.

[0034] The extending directions of the plurality of limiting ribs 20 are all the same. The limiting ribs 20 are circular ribs to avoid damage to the outer wall of the tank body.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of limiting ribs 20 include a top limiting rib 21, a side limiting rib 22 and a bottom limiting rib 23, and the top limiting rib 21, the side limiting rib 22 and the bottom limiting rib 23 all extend in a spiral direction from top to bottom, and the top limiting rib 21, the side limiting rib 22 and the bottom limiting rib 23 together form a spiral channel 10. With the above arrangement, the bottom limiting rib 23 can be used to support the tank body, and the top limiting rib 21 and the side limiting rib 22 can be used to limit the top wall and the circumferential side wall of the tank body, respectively, to prevent the tank body from tipping over.

[0036] There are two top limiting ribs 21, which are located above the side limiting ribs 22 and the bottom limiting ribs 23. There are four side limiting ribs 22, which are located between the top limiting ribs 21 and the bottom limiting ribs 23 and are evenly distributed on both sides of the tank body. There are three bottom limiting ribs 23.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage device further includes a plurality of limit frames 30, which are arranged at intervals along the spiral direction, and each limit rib 20 is arranged in the limit frame 30, and the side wall of the limit rib 20 is connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 30. The limit frame 30 can limit the cross-sectional size of the spiral channel 10 surrounded by the plurality of limit ribs 20, so that the spiral channel 10 has sufficient structural strength, and the cross-sectional size does not change too much, thereby preventing the can body from tipping over.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 30 is a square frame.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of limit frames 30 include an upper limit frame 31 disposed at the upper end of the limit rib 20, the upper limit frame 31 having a connection portion connected to the conveyor frame of the conveyor belt, the storage device further includes a fixed bracket 40, and the limit frames 30 except the upper limit frame 31 among the plurality of limit frames 30 are all disposed on the bracket 40. With the above arrangement, by disposing the upper limit frame 31 on the conveyor frame, the opening structure 11 can correspond to the conveyor belt, and the size of the opening structure 11 can be maintained so that it does not change. The bracket 40 is used to support the remaining limit frames 30, which has the advantages of simple structure and easy arrangement.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 40 includes a vertically extending pole 41 and a plurality of laterally extending support rods 42, the plurality of support rods 42 are arranged on the side wall of the pole 41 at intervals along the height direction of the pole 41, and each support rod 42 is connected to a limit frame 30. The bracket 40 adopting the above structure uses the pole 41 to support the support rod 42, and uses the support rod 42 to support the limit frame 30, which has the advantages of simple structure and easy processing.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support rod 42 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the vertical rod 41. The vertical rod 41 is made of U-shaped steel. The support rod 42 is made of 10 mm white steel plate.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of limit frames 30 include a lower limit frame 32 disposed at the lower end of the limit rib 20, and the closed structure is disposed on the lower limit frame 32. The lower limit frame 32 can be used to limit the limit rib 20 while facilitating the setting of the closed structure, which has the advantage of one object having multiple uses.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage device further includes a sealing plate 50, which is openably disposed on the lower limit frame 32 to form a closed structure. The closed structure formed by the sealing plate 50 has the advantage of a simple structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sealing plate 50 is a flat plate.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage device further includes a locking member, which is detachably disposed between the sealing plate 50 and the lower limit frame 32. The sealing plate 50 has a blocking state with the lower limit frame 32 blocked and an open state with the lower limit frame 32 opened. The locking member can keep the sealing plate 50 in the blocking state. By using the locking member to put the sealing plate 50 in the blocking state, the can body can stay in the spiral channel 10. By disassembling the locking member, the sealing plate 50 can be put in the open state, and then the can body in the spiral channel 10 can be taken out.

[0046] In this embodiment, the locking element is a common lock.

[0047] Among them, the lower limit frame 32 has a hinged edge and a locking edge that are relatively arranged, and a locking plate is arranged on the locking edge. The locking plate and the limiting rib 20 are respectively located on both sides of the lower limit frame 32. One end of the sealing plate 50 is hinged to the hinged edge, and the other end of the sealing plate 50 has an avoidance hole that is arranged through it. When the sealing plate 50 is in a blocked state, the locking plate passes through the avoidance hole, and the locking component is arranged on the locking plate. The sealing plate 50 is clamped between the locking component and the lower limit frame 32.

[0048] Another embodiment of the utility model provides a production line, which includes a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt and a storage device, wherein the conveyor belt is rotatably arranged on the conveyor frame, the storage device is located on one side of the conveyor belt, the upper end of the spiral channel 10 of the storage device is connected to the conveyor frame, and the storage device is the storage device provided above. With the above production line, since the spiral channel 10 can only accommodate one can body at a time, the can bodies are arranged in sequence in the channel and will not be scattered, and the overturned can bodies will not enter the channel. At the same time, due to the guiding and limiting effect of the spiral channel 10 on the can bodies, the can bodies will not overturn in the spiral channel 10, and there will be no collision between the can bodies, so that the product quality is qualified.
