Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of easy-open lid production, in particular to an easy-open lid stacking device. Background Art
[0002] In traditional easy-open lid conveying systems, the conveying system is usually not compatible with conveying lids of multiple different materials at the same time. For example, when the conveying system needs to convey aluminum lids and iron lids, it actually requires two different conveying systems.
[0003] Take aluminum and iron caps as examples: aluminum finished caps are transported out of the punch press horizontally with the front side facing up, and generally a vacuum cylinder is used to absorb the caps in the vertical direction, so that the easy-open caps are stacked up in the vacuum cylinder by suction, and then enter the baler in a vertically stacked state for bagging and packaging. When transporting and packaging iron easy-open caps, magnets are first used to absorb the caps to place them vertically, and then they are stacked to form a cap group, which then enters the baler for bagging and packaging.
[0004] This means that in the stacking of the covers, it is necessary to switch the conveying mode or switch different stacking devices according to the materials of the covers. However, with the continuous acceleration of the production speed of the easy-open lids, the stacking speed of the covers and the switching speed of the stacking devices in the prior art are difficult to match the production speed of the easy-open lids. When it is necessary to convey covers of two different materials, the switching speed of the conveying device is slow, and the cover is prone to jamming during use, which not only affects the stacking efficiency of the covers but also makes the covers prone to wear and consumption, affecting their quality.

[0028] Example
[0029] See also Figure 1 A stacking device for easy-open lids includes an air suction module, a guide module and a transfer module. The air suction module includes at least two air suction mechanisms 1 arranged opposite to each other. The air suction mechanism 1 can enclose a negative pressure chamber with a first guide member 2 in the guide module. The negative pressure chamber has an opening. A cover 5 can be placed at the opening. The air suction mechanism 1 after activation can suck the gas in the negative pressure chamber to reduce the pressure of the negative pressure chamber, so that the cover 5 moves from the opening to the side where the negative pressure chamber is located. A transfer module can be arranged on the moving path of the cover 5, and the transfer module is at least used to carry the cover 5. With the operation of the air suction mechanism 1, a plurality of the cover 5 can be moved in sequence along the second direction and stacked in the negative pressure chamber. The transfer module can carry a plurality of stacked cover 5 to move, and prevent the cover 5 from blocking the air suction path of the air suction mechanism 1. When a cover body 5 (defined as the first cover body) has been placed in the negative pressure chamber, during the adsorption work of the next cover body 5 (defined as the second cover body), the first cover body and the suction mechanism 1 on the side are enclosed to form the negative pressure chamber, and the negative pressure chamber can adsorb and guide the second cover body to move in the direction of the first cover body, and repeat the above steps to form a longer, continuous cover body group formed by stacking multiple cover bodies. The easy-pull cover stacking device provided in this embodiment can be used for both aluminum covers and iron covers, and of course can also be used for plastic covers or covers made of other materials, without having to switch to different stacking methods due to covers made of different materials, which is more flexible and convenient.
[0030] More specifically, the suction mechanism 1 includes a suction box, which can be a box body with a cavity formed by a plurality of plates. Specifically, the suction box has a blocking member 11, which can be understood as one of the plates constituting the suction box, and a plurality of ventilation structures are arranged on the blocking member 11, which can be understood as ventilation holes, and the ventilation structures connect the two sides of the blocking member 11, that is, connect the cavity of the suction box and the external environment, wherein the suction box is also connected to a gas delivery mechanism, when the gas delivery mechanism is started, the gas of the external environment can enter the cavity of the suction box through the ventilation structure, thereby forming a negative pressure between the blocking member 11 and the first guide member 2, and the gas delivery mechanism can be a vacuum pump.
[0031] The cross-sectional shape of the ventilation structure may be a regular shape or an irregular shape, and the regular shape may be a rectangle, a circle, or a triangle. Figure 1 As shown, taking the ventilation structure as a strip hole as an example, the two ends of the strip hole can be rounded to form an arc-shaped through hole. Multiple ventilation structures can be arranged on the same blocking member 11, and the multiple ventilation structures are arranged in sequence along the third direction, and the third direction can be the direction opposite to the Z-axis direction. The multiple ventilation structures arranged along the third direction can generate adsorption force on the cover body 5 along the third direction, so as to facilitate the negative pressure chamber to adsorb the cover body 5.
[0032] More specifically, Figure 1 As shown, Figure 2 Taking the blocking member 11 as an example, the first ventilation structure 12 and the second ventilation structure 13 are sequentially arranged along the third direction, the first ventilation structure 12 has a first end 121 and a first middle portion that are interconnected, at least part of the first middle portion extends along the second direction, and the first middle portion close to the opening is defined as the first end 121, and the first end 121 is arranged at one end of the first middle portion. The first end 121 can be understood as Figure 2 The arc-shaped end of the first ventilation structure 12 is shown in FIG. The second ventilation structure 13 has a second end 131 and a second middle portion that are interconnected. At least part of the second middle portion extends along the second direction. The second middle portion close to the opening is defined as the second end 131. The second end 131 is disposed at one end of the second middle portion. The second end 131 can be understood as Figure 2 The arc-shaped end of the second ventilation structure 13 is shown in FIG.
[0033] Specifically, the first end portion 121 and the second end portion 131 are in the opposite direction of the Z-axis direction (which can be understood as Figure 2 The first end 121 and the second end 131 are arranged in sequence in the vertical downward direction as shown, and the first end 121 and the second end 131 are also arranged along a fourth direction, the fourth direction is arranged to intersect with the third direction, and the fourth direction can be defined as the direction of the line connecting the first end 121 and the second end 131, and the fourth direction is arranged at an acute angle to the third direction. Specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, at least part of the projection of the first end 121 along the third direction does not fall within the range of the second end 131, so that Figure 2For example, the side where the cover 5 falls is defined as the front side, and the side where the cover 5 is stacked is defined as the back side. The first ventilation structure 12 and the second ventilation structure 13 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction. The first end 121 of the first ventilation structure 12 is arranged close to the front side, and the first end 121 and the second end 131 are arranged in sequence along the direction from the front side to the back side. The cover 5 falls in the vertical direction. When the gas delivery mechanism is activated, the cover 5 first contacts the first end 121. The gas sucked from the first end 121 can reduce the pressure in this area. The cover 5 moves toward the back side under the influence of the adsorption force. As the cover 5 continues to fall, the cover 5 contacts the second end 131. The principle is the same as above. The gas sucked from the second end 131 reduces the pressure at the second end 131, thereby guiding the cover 5 to continue to move toward the back side, thereby gradually moving the cover 5 to stack with the upward cover 5. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of ventilation structures may be further provided on the blocking member 11 to increase the contact area between the suction force generated by the gas sucked from the ventilation structure and the cover body 5, so as to better guide the movement of the cover body 5 and make the suction force exerted on the cover body 5 more uniform, so that the cover body 5 can be stacked more smoothly.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a first guide member 2 of an easy-open lid stacking device has an extension portion 21, a connection portion 22 and a bending portion, and the bending portion is arranged on the extension portion 21. It is defined that a plurality of lid bodies 5 can be stacked to form a lid body 5 group. The extension portion 21 and the bending portion are at least used to guide the stacked lid body 5 group to move along the second direction, and the extension portion 21 is at least used to abut the lid body 5 group against the placement surface of the lid body 5 group, and is used to restrict the movement of the lid body 5 group in the vertical direction, and the connection portion 22 is arranged on the extension portion 21, and the connection portion 22 is used to be fixed with other components, so that the extension portion 21 is fixed at a specified position.
[0035] Specifically, at least a portion of the extension portion 21 is inclined along the second direction, and the two ends of the extension portion 21 along the second direction are defined as a first contact end and a second contact end. In the vertical direction, the first contact end is higher than the second contact end. It can be understood that Figure 2As shown, the extension 21 is tilted along the stacking direction of the cover 5, a transfer module is used to guide or drive the cover 5 to move along the second direction, the transfer module may include a conveyor belt 7, the second contact end can be surrounded by the surface of the conveyor belt 7 and the suction mechanism 1 to form a passage, the size of the passage can be similar to the outer contour size of the cover 5, and is used to guide or drive the stacked cover 5 to continue to move along the passage. At least part of the bending portion arranged on the extension 21 can contact the cover 5, the extension 21 and the bending portion can be surrounded to form an arc channel similar to the outer contour of the cover 5, the contour of the arc channel is similar to the outer contour of the cover 5, so that the outer contour of the strip cover 5 group formed by the stacked cover 5 is more uniform, and the strip cover 5 group is approximately cylindrical, so as to avoid the problem of misalignment or jamming with other components when the conveyor belt 7 guides or drives the stacked cover 5 to move along the second direction.
[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The guide module also includes a connecting plate 8, which is connected to the suction mechanism 1. The connecting portion 22 of the first guide member 2 can be movably arranged on the connecting plate 8, and a locking member 6 can lock the connecting portion 22 on the connecting plate 8. Preferably, the first guide member 2 can be movable along the Z-axis direction and the opposite direction, and the position of the first guide member 2 can be adjusted according to the size of the cover body 5 actually stacked. When the size of the cover body 5 to be stacked is larger, the first guide member 2 can be moved along the Z-axis direction, and the locking member 6 can lock the first guide member 2. The distance between the first contact end of the first guide member 2 and the conveyor belt 7 is increased, so that a cover body 5 with a larger size can be accommodated.
[0037] More specifically, a plurality of connection holes for the connection portion 22 to extend out may be provided on the connection plate 8 , and the position of the extension portion 21 may be adjusted by fixing the connection portion 22 in different connection holes according to actual needs.
[0038] Specifically, the locking member 6 may be threadedly connected to the connecting portion 22 .
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a stacking device for easy-open lids further includes a second guide member 3 and a second guide member 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second guide member 3 is arranged at the opening, and the second guide member 3 has a second guide portion 31, at least part of which is arranged along the third direction, and is used to guide the movement of the cover body 5 along the third direction. The third guide member 4 is arranged at the opening, and the third guide member 4 has a third guide portion 41, which is arranged along the third direction. The second guide portion 31 and the third guide portion can enclose and form a guide space, and the guide space and the opening are arranged in sequence along the third direction. The cover body 5 can fall along the third direction. The guide space is at least used to restrict the movement of the cover body 5 along the first direction and the second direction, so as to prevent the cover body 5 from deflecting during the falling process, so that it can be better adsorbed into the negative pressure chamber for stacking operation later.
[0040] Preferably, the two second guide members 3 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. Specifically, the second guide member 3 and the third guide member 4 are detachably connected to the suction mechanism 1, and the positional relationship between the second guide member 3 and the third guide member 4 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the cover body 5 actually stacked, so as to better guide the cover body 5.
