Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging, in particular to a hopper rotating boxing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the process of product transportation, storage, and sales, in order to protect the product, facilitate storage and promote sales, it is necessary to use containers, materials, and auxiliary materials to contain and package the product. The most common packaging methods are bag packaging, bottle packaging, box packaging, etc.

[0003] For bagged products, they still need to be boxed after being bagged for easy transportation. During the boxing process, the bagged products need to be neatly stacked into the packaging box to maximize the product boxing and make it more beautiful.

[0004] However, there is no fast stacking device for bagged products in the prior art, and the products are usually packed by manual stacking, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the utility model provides a hopper rotating boxing mechanism, comprising

[0006] a third power unit; and

[0007] A hopper assembly, wherein the hopper assembly can contain a limited amount of bagged product, and the hopper assembly is driven to flip 90° by the third power device;

[0008] The hopper assembly includes

[0009] The hopper is driven to flip 90 degrees by the third power device, and the lower side of the hopper is provided with a discharge port for the product to slide out, and the front side is provided with a feed port for the product to enter and exit.

[0010] The utility model arranges the hopper rotating box loading mechanism above the box feeding conveyor and cooperates with the manipulator to realize fast box loading of bagged products. Initially, the discharge port faces forward and the feed port faces upward. At this time, the bagged products are neatly stacked in the hopper by the manipulator. When the products are stacked, the third power device drives the hopper to flip 90 degrees so that the discharge port faces downward. At this time, the neatly stacked products can directly slide into the packaging box, thereby realizing fast and neat box loading of the bagged products and improving the box loading efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the hopper assembly also includes

[0012] A second power device, the second power device is installed on the hopper; and

[0013] A baffle is arranged at the feed port of the hopper, and the baffle is driven to move by the second power device to open and close the feed port.

[0014] Furthermore, the second power device is selected from a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder;

[0015] One side of the baffle is connected to the upper end of the front side of the hopper via a pivot shaft, and the second power device is connected to the pivot shaft via a connecting rod.

[0016] During loading, the second power device drives the baffle to rotate to open the feed port, making it easier for the robot to stack products into the hopper. After stacking, the second power device drives the baffle to rotate, thereby closing the feed port and preventing the product from slipping out of the feed port when the hopper assembly is flipped.

[0017] Furthermore, the hopper assembly also includes a partition entry channel, and the partition entry channel is arranged on the upper side of the above-mentioned hopper to allow the partition to enter the hopper.

[0018] The utility model can also be connected with a partition conveyor line. After a layer of products is stacked, the partition conveyor line sends the partition from the partition entry channel into the hopper so that the partition is on the upper surface of the products, thereby separating the products between the layers. This avoids the need to manually or mechanically load partitions into the box after the products are loaded into the box. Not only is the operation cumbersome, but it can also easily cause the stacked products to fall down during packing.

[0019] Furthermore, the hopper rotating box loading mechanism also includes a first power device, which can drive the above-mentioned hopper assembly to slide vertically.

[0020] Furthermore, the first power device is a motor;

[0021] The hopper rotating boxing mechanism also includes a belt transmission mechanism, which is driven to move by the first power device, and the hopper assembly is kept connected with the belt of the belt transmission mechanism.

[0022] When unloading, the first power device drives the hopper to rise vertically, so that the hopper assembly is completely separated from the product, to avoid the product and the partition being partially retained in the hopper due to insufficient distance between the hopper assembly and the box body.

[0023] Furthermore, the hopper rotating box loading mechanism also includes a limit buffer, and the limit buffer is arranged on the vertical movement trajectory of the hopper, and the hopper moves between the limit buffers.

[0024] The limit buffer is used to limit the vertical movement of the hopper assembly to prevent the hopper assembly from over-travel and causing danger. At the same time, the limit buffer can also provide buffering when the hopper assembly contacts it to avoid large vibrations caused by impact and affect the normal operation of the mechanism.

[0025] Furthermore, the hopper rotating box loading mechanism also includes a guide rail that can guide the vertical sliding of the hopper assembly.

[0026] The movement accuracy of the hopper assembly is improved by guiding the movement of the hopper assembly through the guide rail.

[0027] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0028] The utility model arranges the hopper rotating box loading mechanism above the box feeding conveyor and cooperates with the manipulator to realize fast box loading of bagged products. Initially, the discharge port faces forward and the feed port faces upward. At this time, the bagged products are neatly stacked in the hopper by the manipulator. When the products are stacked, the third power device drives the hopper to flip 90 degrees so that the discharge port faces downward. At this time, the neatly stacked products can directly slide into the packaging box, thereby realizing fast and neat box loading of the bagged products and improving the box loading efficiency.

[0029] During loading, the second power device drives the baffle to rotate to open the feed port, making it easier for the robot to stack products into the hopper. After stacking, the second power device drives the baffle to rotate, thereby closing the feed port and preventing the product from slipping out of the feed port when the hopper assembly is flipped.

[0030] The utility model can also be connected with a partition conveyor line. After a layer of products is stacked, the partition conveyor line sends the partition from the partition entry channel into the hopper so that the partition is on the upper surface of the products, thereby separating the products between the layers. This avoids the need to manually or mechanically load partitions into the box after the products are loaded into the box. Not only is the operation cumbersome, but it can also easily cause the stacked products to fall down during packing.

[0031] When unloading, the first power device drives the hopper to rise vertically, so that the hopper assembly is completely separated from the product, to avoid the product and the partition being partially retained in the hopper due to insufficient distance between the hopper assembly and the box body.

[0032] The limit buffer is used to limit the vertical movement of the hopper assembly to prevent the hopper assembly from over-travel and causing danger. At the same time, the limit buffer can also provide buffering when the hopper assembly contacts it to avoid large vibrations caused by impact and affect the normal operation of the mechanism.

[0033] The movement accuracy of the hopper assembly is improved by guiding the movement of the hopper assembly through the guide rail. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] As described in the background technology, for bagged products, they still need to be boxed after being bagged for transportation. During the boxing process, the bagged products need to be neatly stacked into the packaging box to maximize the product boxing and make it more beautiful. However, there is no fast stacking device for bagged products in the prior art, and the products are usually boxed by manual stacking, which is inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a hopper rotating boxing mechanism, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the hopper rotating box loading mechanism includes

[0042] A third power plant 600; and

[0043] A hopper assembly 500, wherein the hopper assembly can contain a limited amount of bagged products, and the hopper assembly 500 is driven to flip 90 degrees by the third power device;

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the hopper assembly 500 includes

[0045] The hopper 520 is driven by the third power device 600 to flip 90 degrees. The lower side of the hopper 520 is provided with a discharge port for products to slide out, and the front side is provided with a feed port for products to enter and exit.

[0046] The utility model arranges the hopper rotating packing mechanism above the box feeding conveyor and cooperates with the manipulator for use, thereby realizing rapid packing of bagged products. Initially, the discharge port faces forward and the feed port faces upward. At this time, the bagged products are neatly stacked in the hopper by the manipulator. After the products are stacked, the third power device 600 drives the hopper to flip 90° so that the discharge port faces downward. At this time, the neatly stacked products can directly slide into the packaging box, thereby realizing rapid and neat packing of the bagged products and improving the packing efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the hopper assembly further includes

[0050] Exemplarily, the second power device 510 in this embodiment is selected from a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder;

[0051] One side of the baffle 540 is connected to the upper end of the front side of the hopper via a pivot shaft, and the second power device 510 is connected to the pivot shaft via a connecting rod.

[0052] During loading, the second power device drives the baffle 540 to rotate to open the feed port, thereby facilitating the robot to stack the products into the hopper. After stacking is completed, the second power device drives the baffle to rotate, thereby closing the feed port to prevent the product from slipping out of the feed port when the hopper assembly is flipped.

[0053] In addition, the baffle can be connected to the hopper through a pivot shaft, and can also be slidably connected to the hopper through a slide groove, a slide rail or a guide wheel, and the second power device 510 can directly drive the baffle to slide linearly to open and close the feed port.

[0055] The utility model can also be connected with a partition conveyor line. After a layer of products is stacked, the partition conveyor line sends the partition from the partition entry channel into the hopper so that the partition is on the upper surface of the products, thereby separating the products between the layers. This avoids the need to manually or mechanically load partitions into the box after the products are loaded into the box. Not only is the operation cumbersome, but it can also easily cause the stacked products to fall down during packing.
