Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automation devices, specifically material placing and arranging equipment. Background Art

[0002] After the production of products is completed, the final steps are inspection and packaging. For some small-sized products with the same specifications, taking the box as a unit, generally, multiple products are accommodated using a packing box. Specifically, according to the pre-calculated size specifications, the corresponding number of products are laid flat in the box and stacked layer by layer until the products on the top layer are flush with the box opening, and then the box opening is sealed.

[0003] However, after the products packed in boxes are loaded onto the transport vehicle and transported to the sales place, during the transportation process, due to bumps, the originally regular products become scattered in the box, and even collide with each other and get damaged, affecting the product quality. For this reason, the packing and boxing method is improved. The corresponding number of products are laid flat in the box, one layer of products is laid, then a flexible buffer layer corresponding to the area of the box opening is laid, and then another layer of products is laid, and so on until the box is full. In this way, the problem of large gaps between products and the scattered movement during the transportation process is avoided, the regularity of the products delivered to the customers is improved, and the product quality is guaranteed.

[0004] However, at present, the operation of laying the flexible buffer layer into the box is carried out manually. The raw materials of the flexible buffer layer are stacked together layer by layer. The worker needs to pinch one flexible buffer layer at a time and then put it into the box. In this process, it is not convenient for the worker to pinch the flexible buffer layer. On the one hand, it is easy to cause deformation and damage of the flexible buffer layer. On the other hand, it may lead to taking more than needed, and it takes time to adjust to only take one flexible buffer layer raw material from the stacked flexible buffer layer raw materials at a time. Therefore, the current material placing and arranging of the flexible buffer layer raw materials into the box has problems such as low efficiency, easy damage to the raw materials, and high manual labor intensity.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 , this embodiment provides a material placing and arranging device, including:

[0033] A first lifter, the first lifter includes a first lifting drive device 110 and a first loading rack 120 provided at the power output end of the first lifting drive device 110; the first loading rack 120 extends into the packing accommodation bin 2, and the first lifting drive device 110 is provided beside the packing accommodation bin 2; the first lifting drive device 110 is used to drive the first loading rack 120 to move up and down in the packing accommodation bin 2;

[0036] A moving platform 6, the picking and placing component 5 is provided at the power output end of the moving platform 6 and is used to drive the picking and placing component 5 to move at the packing accommodation bin 2 and the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4;

[0037] Wherein, the packing accommodation bin 2 and the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4 are arranged adjacent to each other side by side.

[0038] By arranging the first lifting drive device 110 beside the packing accommodation bin 2, the first loading rack 120 extends into the packing accommodation bin 2; and by arranging the second lifting drive device 310 beside the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4, the second loading rack 320 extends into the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4, it is possible to enable this material palletizing device without raising the entire frame 9 for the lifting of the first loading rack 120 and the second loading rack 320, thus providing space for arranging the lifting drive device.

[0039] The picking and placing component 5 after mechanical automation debugging picks up or puts down a flexible buffer layer on the upper layer of the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4, and spreads it on each layer of products in the packing box for palletizing, avoiding the disadvantages that manual picking of the flexible buffer layer is likely to cause the flexible buffer layer to wrinkle or picking multiple layers and then selecting one layer.

[0040] The packing accommodation bin 2 and the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4 are arranged adjacent to each other side by side, which enables the moving platform 6 to drive the picking and placing component 5 and the flexible buffer layer picked up by the picking and placing component 5 to be transported from the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4 into the packing box of the packing accommodation bin 2. The path is shorter and more reasonable, which is conducive to improving the palletizing and packing efficiency.

The frame 9 encloses the packing accommodation bin 2 and the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4; the first lifting drive device 110, the second lifting drive device 310, the moving platform 6, and the conveying mechanism 7 are installed on the frame 9.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the frame 9 is provided with an openable first bin door 910 and second bin door 920 corresponding to the packing accommodation bin 2 and the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4.

[0045] Both the first bin door 910 and the second bin door 920 are made of light-transmitting materials.

[0046] Preferably, the first bin door 910 and the second bin door 920 are made of a material with high light transmittance, which can be an acrylic board. Through the first bin door 910 and the second bin door 920, it is possible to know the number of boxes already packed in the packing and accommodating bin 2 and the remaining amount of the flexible buffer layer material in the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4 without opening the first bin door 910 and the second bin door 920.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first lifting drive device 110 and the second lifting drive device 310 have the same structure, and both include a guide rod 311, a drive motor 312, a synchronous pulley (not shown), and a synchronous belt 314; both ends of the guide rod 311 are connected to the frame 9; the drive motor 312 and the synchronous pulley are respectively arranged adjacent to both ends of the guide rod 311 and are installed on the frame 9; the synchronous belt 314 is engaged with the synchronous pulley and the driving wheel sleeved on the power output shaft of the drive motor 312; the first loading rack 120 and the second loading rack 320 are provided with a connecting portion 321 connected to the synchronous belt 314.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first loading rack 120 and the second loading rack 320 have the same structure, and both include a triangular support frame 322 and a support plate 323 provided with a hollow hole; the triangular support frame 322 is provided with a sliding sleeve 324 slidably connected to the guide rod 311; the connecting portion 321 is arranged on the triangular support frame 322.

[0049] The sliding connection between the sliding sleeve 324 and the guide rod 311 provides guidance for the drive motor 312 to drive the first loading rack 120 or the second loading rack 320 through the synchronous belt 314, and the operation is stable and accurate.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 321 is a splint structure and is clamped and connected to the synchronous belt 314.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the picking and placing component 5 is a vacuum chuck, and the vacuum chuck is provided with a plurality of suction nozzles 510 with adjustable relative spacing.

[0052] The picking and placing component 5 includes a chuck support and a plurality of suction nozzles 510 installed on the chuck support. One end of the chuck support is connected to the power output end of the moving platform 6, and the chuck support is provided with a long slot. Within the length range of the long slot, the suction nozzles 510 can be adjusted in position.

[0053] In some embodiments, the moving platform 6 is a two-axis robotic arm.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The conveying mechanism 7 is a belt conveyor line with guide plates 710 provided on both sides of the conveying channel.

[0055] Under the limiting guidance of the guide plate 710, individual products are driven by the belt conveyor line and transported neatly and orderly in the conveying channel. At the exit of the conveying channel, they are blocked by the blocking member 8 and stop moving.

[0056] The working principle of this material tray arrangement equipment is: the product is loaded to the receiving end of the belt conveyor line of the conveying mechanism 7 by manual or automated equipment, the belt conveyor line transports the product toward the packing storage bin 2, and the guide plate 710 guides and regularizes the product.

[0057] Before the product moves to the material stopper 8 or at the material stopper 8, a single product is picked up manually or by automated equipment, and the final appearance inspection can be carried out. Then the product is placed in the packing box supported by the first material carrier 120. After placing one layer in a predetermined manner, the mobile platform 6 drives the material picking and placing component 5 to move to the flexible buffer layer supply bin 4, turns on the negative pressure, and the suction nozzle 510 sucks the top flexible buffer layer of the stacked flexible buffer layer materials supported by the second material carrier 320. The suction force of the suction nozzle 510 and the spacing between multiple suction nozzles 510 have been pre-adjusted, and the flexible buffer layer can be picked up smoothly without causing negative wrinkles to the flexible buffer layer. Then, the mobile platform 6 drives the material picking and placing component 5 to move above the box storage bin 2, and the flexible buffer layer is placed on the product in the packing box, canceling the negative pressure suction.

[0058] Then the mobile platform 6 drives the material picking and placing component 5 to return to absorb the topmost flexible buffer layer of the stacked flexible buffer layer materials held by the second loading rack 320 to prepare the materials, and the products are placed manually or by automated equipment in the packaging box held by the first loading rack 120 according to the predetermined placement method.

[0059] When the products in the packing box have completed the packing quantity of one box, it can be recognized by the sensor 10, and the first lifting drive device 110 drives the first loading rack 120 to move the descending amount of one box body. A new empty packing box is filled manually or by automatic equipment.

[0060] When the flexible buffer layer materials stacked on the second material carrier 320 are taken to a certain extent, the thickness of the stacked flexible buffer layer materials decreases and can be recognized by the sensor 10, then the second lifting drive device 310 drives the second material carrier 320 to move upward to fill the position.

[0061] Since the packing storage bin 2 and the flexible buffer layer feeding bin 4 are arranged adjacent to each other, the mobile platform 6 can follow a fixed route according to a programmed program without the aid of a visual camera, making the equipment more cost-effective.

[0062] The conveying mechanism 7 may be provided with a control switch 720 for conveniently controlling the product conveyance of the belt conveyor line.

[0063] Opening the first bin door 910 can take out the packed products in units of packing boxes, and opening the second bin door 920 can supply the flexible buffer layer material to the flexible buffer layer supply bin 4.

[0064] In some embodiments, a clamping device 11 is provided on the back side of the pick-and-place component 5. The clamping device 11 is also installed at the power output end of the moving platform 6. The clamping device 11 specifically includes a rotating motor installed at the power output end of the moving platform 6 and a finger cylinder installed at the power output end of the rotating motor.

[0065] Through the clamping device 11, when the moving platform 6 moves, it can clamp the products on the conveying mechanism 7, adjust their placement orientations, and place them into the packing boxes. One moving platform 6 supports the material conveyance of two components, with a clever layout, cost savings, and reduced manual labor intensity.
