Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of position correction mechanisms, and more specifically, to a position correction mechanism for bagged materials. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, with the rapid development of the intelligent truck unloading industry, materials are transported through a conveyor line body to a designated grasping position, and then stacked with the cooperation of a manipulator and stored in a warehouse by a stacker; realizing the intelligence and automation of truck unloading, empowering enterprise production, and greatly reducing labor costs.

[0003] During the transportation process of bagged materials during truck unloading, they are prone to deviation, which has an adverse impact on the stacking accuracy of the manipulator, resulting in skewed stacks or even the risk of stack collapse. Traditionally, the position of bagged materials is corrected by adding guides at both ends of the line body. In actual transportation, some materials are relatively loose, and this method has an unclear deviation correction effect. Moreover, too large a deviation angle will lead to the risk of package jamming and is not suitable for the deviation correction of bagged materials of various specifications. Summary of the Utility Model

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface height of the synchronous belt is higher than the height of the correction plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the photoelectric sensor is installed on one side of the correction plate through a mounting seat.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the support component includes a support plate and a second support wheel group arranged on the support plate. The top surface height of the second support wheel group is adapted to the top surface height of the synchronous belt.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, and at least two groups of lifting cylinders are provided.

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0020] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present utility model are given for the convenience of illustration and description, and are not exhaustive or limit the present utility model to the disclosed form. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, and enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present utility model and thus design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0021] Such as Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the technical solution of the present utility model provides a position correction mechanism for bagged materials, which includes a mounting bracket 3, a lifting mechanism arranged on the mounting bracket 3, a mounting plate 5 connected to the output end of the lifting mechanism, and a correction module arranged on the mounting plate 5. The position correction mechanism 2 is entirely located below the roller conveyor 1. The mounting bracket 3 is fixed to the bottom of the roller conveyor 1. The correction module can lift the bagged materials through the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor 1 under the action of the lifting mechanism, and then perform the correction work. After the correction is completed, the lifting mechanism drives the correction module to descend, and places the corrected materials back on the roller conveyor 1 for forward transportation. This solution can correct various bagged materials, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the material at the grasping position, and avoiding the influence of the skew of the bagged materials on the palletizing.

[0022] The correction module includes two synchronous belt correction components 8, a support component 17 located between the two synchronous belt correction components 8, and two photoelectric sensors 15 located at the ends of the two synchronous belt correction components 8 respectively. The two synchronous belt correction components 8 operate independently. After the material is placed on the correction module, the synchronous belt correction component 8 can drive the material to move, and the support component 17 supports the material. The two synchronous belt correction components 8 move independently. When both photoelectric sensors 15 detect the material, it means that both sides of the bagged material are in the same position and the surface has been corrected.

[0023] The synchronous belt correction component 8 includes a correction plate 9, a first support wheel group 10 arranged on the correction plate 9, a synchronous belt 11 located outside the first support wheel group 10, and a drive component for driving the synchronous belt 11 to move. The drive component includes a drive motor 12, a drive wheel group 13, and a steering wheel group 14. The drive motor 12 drives the drive wheel group 13 to rotate, and then drives the synchronous belt 11 to rotate. The first support wheel group 10 supports the synchronous belt 11. The top surface height of the synchronous belt 11 is higher than the height of the correction plate 9 to ensure that the synchronous belt 11 can drive the bagged material to move smoothly. The photoelectric sensor 15 is installed on one side of the correction plate 9 through a mounting seat 16.

[0024] The two photoelectric sensors 15 are used to detect whether the ends of the bagged material are in a horizontal state. During correction, if a group of photoelectric sensors 15 detects the bagged material, the synchronous belt correction component 8 on the corresponding side of this group of photoelectric sensors 15 stops moving, and the synchronous belt correction component 8 on the other side continues to drive the material to move. When the photoelectric sensor 15 on the other side also detects the bagged material, the synchronous belt correction component 8 on this side also stops moving, and the end of the bagged material is in a horizontal state (i.e., it has been corrected).

[0025] The support assembly 17 includes a support plate 18 and a second support wheel set 19 disposed on the support plate 18. The top surface height of the second support wheel set 19 is adapted to the top surface height of the synchronous belt 11. The second support wheel set 19 supports the bagged material and is in rolling contact, ensuring the stability of the bagged material during the correction process and preventing it from falling.

[0026] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 4, and at least two groups of the lifting cylinders 4 are provided. The lifting cylinder 4 indirectly realizes the lifting of the bagged material by driving the lifting of the mounting plate 5.

[0027] The correction mechanism of this solution further includes four guide columns 6. The guide columns 6 pass through the mounting bracket 3. One end of the guide column 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 5, and the other end is provided with a connecting plate 7. The arrangement of the guide columns 6 and the connecting plate 7 at the bottom ensures the smooth lifting of the mounting plate 5.

[0028] This solution can correct materials of different specifications and types. For example, it can effectively correct relatively loose materials, with an obvious deviation correction effect, avoiding the risk of card packet caused by too large an inclination angle of the material, and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent palletizing work.

[0029] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art and related fields based on the embodiments in the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices, and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention, unless otherwise specified and limited, are implemented according to the conventional means in the art.
