[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the plasticine box 4 mentioned in the present embodiment can be considered as a plasticine box 4 filled with plasticine, and the plasticine product production line includes a plasticine box feeding device and an assembly line for plasticine products. The assembly line for plasticine products may include a transport device for transporting packaging boxes and an assembly device, and the assembly device is used to transfer the plasticine box 4 transported by the plasticine box feeding device into the packaging box, thereby realizing the assembly process of the entire plasticine product.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the plasticine box loading equipment in one embodiment of the utility model includes a lifting device 1, a discharging device 2 and a pushing device 3; the lifting device 1 includes a frame 11, a conveying mechanism 12 obliquely arranged on the frame 11, and a loading bin 13 arranged on one side of the bottom of the frame 11, and the lower part of the conveying mechanism is located in the loading bin 13; the discharging device 2 includes a discharging channel 21 and a transfer channel 22 installed on the frame 11, the feed port of the discharging channel 21 is connected with the discharging port of the transfer channel 22, the discharging port of the discharging channel 21 is located on the side of the frame 11 away from the loading bin 13, and the feed port of the transfer channel 22 is arranged on the side of the conveying mechanism 12 along the transportation direction; the pushing device 3 is arranged on the frame 11, and is arranged adjacent to the conveying mechanism 12, and the pushing device 3 is used to transfer the plasticine box 4 on the conveying mechanism 12 to the feed port of the transfer channel 22.

[0033] It can be understood that the discharge port of the discharge channel 21 is used to dock or cooperate with the assembly line of the plasticine product. The plasticine box loading equipment of the utility model arranges the discharge port of the loading bin 13 and the discharge channel 21 on both sides of the frame 11 respectively. When the plasticine box 4 is replenished in the upper bin 13, it will not affect the operation of the plasticine box loading equipment and the plasticine product production line, thereby ensuring the loading efficiency of the plasticine box loading equipment.

[0034] Among them, the inclined conveying mechanism 12 can be understood as at least a part of the conveying mechanism 12 having a certain slope with the horizontal plane, so as to transfer the plasticine box 4 from the lower upper hopper 13 to the feed port of the higher transfer channel 22, and then transported by the transfer channel 22 to the discharge port of the discharge channel 21.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 12 includes a conveyor belt 121 and a driving motor 123 for driving the conveyor belt 121 to run, and a plurality of lifting plates 122 are arranged at intervals on the conveyor belt 121. The conveyor belt 121 is arranged obliquely on the frame 11, that is, at least part of the conveyor belt 121 has a certain slope with the horizontal plane; part of the conveyor belt 121 is located at the bottom of the upper bin 13, and the plasticine box 4 in the upper bin 13 is pressed on the part of the conveyor belt 121. Since the conveyor belt 121 is arranged obliquely, the lifting plates 122 play the role of carrying and driving the plasticine box 4 to move along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 121. The frame 11 can be provided with a roller group for installing the conveyor belt 121, and the driving motor 123 is fixedly installed on the frame 11, and can be connected to the roller group through a conventional (existing) connecting member (such as a gear group, etc.), thereby driving the conveyor belt 121 to rotate.

[0036] It should be noted that the plasticine box 4 generally includes a box body 41 and a cover body 42 covered on the box body 41, and the size of the cover body 42 is larger than that of the box body 41. During the rising process of the plasticine box 4, the plasticine box 4 with the box body 41 facing the conveyor belt 121 and the cover body 42 facing outward will rise along the conveyor belt 121 and the lifting plate 122, while the plasticine box 4 with the box body 41 facing outward and the cover body 42 facing the conveyor belt 121 and irregularly placed will fall from the lifting plate 122 back to the upper bin 13 during the movement of the conveyor belt 121 and the rising of the lifting plate 122 due to the action of its own center of gravity and its own gravity. Therefore, the cooperation of the conveyor belt 121 and the lifting plate 122 can not only play the role of lifting the plasticine box 4, but also play the role of limiting the placement position of the plasticine box 4.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing device 3 is a jet head, which is arranged adjacent to the surface of the conveyor belt 121, and the air outlet 31 of the jet head is arranged toward the feed port of the transfer channel 22. It can be understood that the jet head can be connected to an external air source through a pipeline (not shown in the figure), and then blow air to the plasticine box 4 located on the lifting plate 122 of the transmission belt through the air outlet 31. Under the action of the jet head, the plasticine box 4 moves from the lifting plate 122 to the edge of the conveyor belt 121 until it enters the feed port of the transfer channel 22.

[0038] Furthermore, a cover plate 111 is provided on the frame 11, and the cover plate 111 is provided above the conveying mechanism 12 at the feeding port adjacent to the transfer channel 22. The cover plate 111 serves to limit the mixing direction of the plasticine box 4 under the action of the jet head, and prevent it from falling from the lifting plate 122 to the upper bin 13.

[0039] Furthermore, blocking bars 112 are provided on both sides of the frame 11 in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 121, and the blocking bars 112 are provided with notches corresponding to the feed opening of the transfer channel 22. During the movement of the conveyor belt 121 and the rise of the lifting plate 122, the blocking bars 112 can prevent the plasticine box 4 from falling from the edge of the conveyor belt 121 (i.e., both sides of the conveyor belt 121 along the transport direction).

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the frame 11 is provided with a partition 113, and the partition 113 is arranged along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 121 and adjacent to the conveyor belt 121, so as to divide the conveyor belt 121 into a first conveying part 1211 and a second conveying part 1212; a discharging device 2 is arranged on both sides of the frame 11 along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 121. The pushing device 3 can be arranged near the central axis of the conveyor belt 121, so as to transfer the plasticine box 4 on the conveyor belt 121 to the discharging devices 2 on both sides along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 121, so that the discharging efficiency can be increased, and when one discharging device 2 fails, the other discharging device 2 can load normally.

[0041] Furthermore, the partition 113 partially extends into the loading bin 13, dividing the loading bin 13 into a first accommodating chamber 131 matched with the first conveying part 1211, and a second accommodating chamber 132 matched with the second conveying part 1212. The first accommodating chamber 131 and the second accommodating chamber 132 can be respectively equipped with a plasticine box 4 for placing plasticines of different flavors and / or different colors, so that one loading device can load plasticines of different flavors and / or different colors. In other usage scenarios, the first accommodating chamber 131 and the second accommodating chamber 132 can also be equipped with the same plasticine box 4.

[0042] Generally, the clay box 4 loaded into the packaging box has its cover 42 facing upwards. The assembly line of the clay product generally transfers the clay box 4 at the discharge port of the discharge channel 21 into the packaging box by means of a suction cup or a clamp, and the transfer process does not involve a flipping process. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the clay box 4 at the discharge port of the discharge channel 21 is placed with its cover 42 facing upwards. Since the conveying mechanism 12 is achieved through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 121 and the lifting plate 122, when the plasticine box 4 enters the transfer channel 22, the cover 42 of the plasticine box 4 is facing away from the discharge port of the discharge channel 21; if the discharge channel 21 is only a simple slope, when the plasticine box 4 moves to the discharge port of the discharge channel 21, the plasticine box 4 is placed with the cover 42 facing downward, because the discharge channel 21 can be extended to design (i.e., the discharge channel 21 adds a bend for flipping the plasticine box 4) so ​​that when the plasticine box 4 moves to the discharge port of the discharge channel 21, the plasticine box 4 is placed with the cover 42 facing upward.

[0043] However, according to the above configuration, the plasticine box 4 may be easily stuck at the turning point of the discharge channel 21 , causing the plasticine box 4 to be blocked in the discharge channel 21 .

[0044] To solve the above problems, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the discharging device 2 also includes a conversion mechanism 23, which includes a conversion seat 231 and a rotating motor 232 connected to each other. The axial end surface of the conversion seat 231 is provided with a plurality of through-turning holes 2311 at intervals. The conversion seat 231 is located below the discharging port of the transfer channel 22 and above the feeding port of the discharging channel 21. The rotating motor 232 is used to drive the conversion seat 231 to rotate so that each turning hole 2311 is connected to the feeding port of the discharging channel 21 or the discharging port of the transfer channel 22. Therefore, the discharging channel 21 only needs to be set as a simple ramp, which avoids the situation that the plasticine box 4 is easily bent at the turning point of the discharging channel 21.

[0045] It should be noted that, under the action of gravity, the clay box 4 falls from the discharge port of the transfer channel 22 into the steering hole 2311 of the conversion seat 231, and then the rotating motor 232 drives the conversion seat 231 to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the clay box 4 is converted from the side of the discharge port of the cover body 42 facing away from the discharge port of the discharge channel 21 to the side of the discharge port of the cover body 42 facing the discharge port of the discharge channel 21, and then the clay box 4 falls from the steering hole 2311 into the discharge channel 21 under the action of gravity.

[0046] Preferably, a baffle 233 is provided below the conversion seat 231, and a connection port 2331 with the feed port of the discharge channel 21 is provided on the baffle 233. The baffle 233 can prevent the plasticine box 4 from falling from the lifting plate 122, especially to prevent the plasticine box 4 from falling from the lifting plate 122 under the action of the pushing device.

[0047] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the frame 11 is also provided with a recovery channel 114, the feed port of the recovery channel 114 is arranged on the side of the frame 11 away from the upper bin 13, and the discharge port of the recovery channel 114 is arranged adjacent to the upper bin 13. The feed port of the recovery channel 114 is arranged on the side of the frame 11 away from the upper bin 13, and is arranged adjacent to the conveyor belt 121. When the pushing device does not transfer all the plasticine boxes 4 to the feed port of the transfer channel 22, that is, some plasticine boxes 4 are left on the lifting plate 122, when the lifting plate 122 drives the plasticine boxes 4 to move to the highest point of the conveyor belt 121, the plasticine boxes 4 will fall from the conveyor belt 121 and the lifting plate 122 to the feed port of the recovery channel 114 under the action of gravity, and then fall back into the upper bin 13 from the discharge port of the recovery channel 114 after passing through the recovery channel 114, so as to recover the plasticine boxes 4.
