Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a deviation-correcting device for a ton bag mouth, belonging to the field of packaging machinery. Background Art

[0002] The patent application document with application number 202420038268.3 discloses a device for taking and opening ton bags, and the ton bags suitable for the device are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the ton bags A are folded together to form a square, and the feeding cylinder B of the ton bag A is folded on the upper end surface of the empty bag, and a bag opening positioning color block C is provided on the upper bag opening of the feeding cylinder B; the device uses a bag taking mechanism to absorb the ton bag A stacked on the ton bag conveyor, and then transfers the ton bag A to the shaping mechanism, and then the machine vision system identifies and locates the bag opening positioning color block C of the ton bag A below, and opens the ton bag A that meets the bag opening conditions, and removes the ton bag that does not meet the bag opening conditions; the device can identify the state of the ton bag in advance and reduce the failure rate of bag opening, but due to the manual stacking of the ton bag A, the stacking shape of the ton bag A is irregular, resulting in an increase in the probability of the ton bag A being removed from the line due to failure to meet the bag opening conditions after subsequent identification, which greatly reduces the bag opening rate of the entire stack of ton bags and affects the packaging efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problem of low bag opening rate and affecting packaging efficiency when ton bag A is packaged, the utility model provides a ton bag mouth correction device, which includes a frame 1, a machine vision system 6 is arranged on the upper front part of the frame 1, a longitudinal translation mechanism 2 is arranged on the frame 1, a transverse translation mechanism 3 is arranged on the transfer frame 21 of the longitudinal translation mechanism 2, a slewing mechanism 4 is arranged on the transverse movement frame 31 of the slewing mechanism 3, a rotating frame 9 is arranged on the slewing mechanism 4, a rotating frame 9 is arranged on the rotating mechanism 4, a support plate 5 for supporting the ton bag A is arranged on the upper end of the rotating frame 9, the slewing mechanism 4 drives the rotating frame 9 and the support plate 5 to rotate in a horizontal plane, the machine vision system 6 identifies and positions the bag mouth positioning color block C on the ton bag A below, thereby determining the position deviation of the bag mouth of the ton bag A, and the machine vision system 6 can control the actions of the longitudinal translation mechanism 2, the transverse translation mechanism 3 and the slewing mechanism 4 to adjust the bag mouth of the ton bag A with position deviation to the target position.

[0004] A bag pushing plate 7 is provided on the upper left side of the supporting plate 5 . The bag pushing plate 7 is driven by a bag pushing cylinder 8 to achieve left and right horizontal movement. The bag pushing cylinder 8 is connected to the lower end of the rotating frame 9 .

[0005] The machine vision system 6 is provided with a camera 62 .

[0006] A light shield is disposed outside the camera 62, and the camera 62 is fixed to the upper end of the light shield.

[0007] A fill light 63 is also provided inside the light shield.

[0008] The light-shielding cover includes a fixed light-shielding cover 61. The upper end inside the fixed light-shielding cover 61 is connected to the camera 62. A movable light-shielding cover 65 is provided on the lower outer wall of the fixed light-shielding cover 61. The movable light-shielding cover 65 is driven by a lifting cylinder 64 to move up and down. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 64 is hinged to the fixed light-shielding cover 61.

[0009] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0010] A. The external bag-taking mechanism transfers the ton bag A to the pallet 5. The longitudinal translation mechanism 2 drives the ton bag A to move forward, so that the bag opening of the ton bag A is directly below the fixed light-shielding cover 61 and reaches the recognition area.

[0011] B. The lifting cylinder 64 drives the movable light-shielding cover 65 to descend vertically, so that the bottom end of the movable light-shielding cover 65 fits the ton bag A. The machine vision system 6 recognizes the bag-opening positioning color block C on the lower ton bag A. After confirming the position coordinates of the bag-opening positioning color block C, the movable light-shielding cover 65 returns to the initial position. After the system calculates the deviation based on the position coordinate data and the set target range, the machine vision system 6 controls the moving distance of the longitudinal translation mechanism 2 and the lateral translation mechanism 3 and the rotation angle of the rotary mechanism 4, so that the position of the bag opening of the ton bag A rotates and moves within the target range. Then the longitudinal translation mechanism 2 drives the ton bag A to continue moving forward to the bag-opening position for bag-opening operation.

[0012] C. If the recognized bag-opening position coordinates are within the set target range, the longitudinal translation mechanism 2 can directly drive the ton bag A to continue moving forward to the bag-opening position for bag-opening operation.

[0013] D. If the bag-opening positioning color block C cannot be recognized, the position deviation cannot be determined. There may be a situation where the feeding straight tube B of the ton bag A is not placed forward or the folding wrinkles at the bag opening block the bag-opening positioning color block C. At this time, it is determined that the bag-opening condition is not met. The pushing bag cylinder 8 drives the pushing bag plate 7 to drive the ton bag A to move horizontally to the right, pushing the ton bag A out of the pallet 5, and then performing the operations of transferring the next ton bag A and recognizing the bag opening.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] A. By using the machine vision system 6 to recognize and position the bag-opening positioning color block C on the lower ton bag A, and controlling the movement of the longitudinal translation mechanism 2 and the lateral translation mechanism 3 and the rotation of the rotary mechanism 4, the position of the bag opening is accurately corrected to meet the bag-opening condition, which can solve the problem that due to the irregular stacking of ton bags A by manual labor, the proportion of ton bags A that do not meet the bag-opening condition and are removed from the production line is high, greatly improving the bag-opening rate of the whole stack of ton bags and the packaging efficiency of the equipment.

[0016] B. The pushing bag cylinder 8 is used to drive the pushing bag plate 7 to move horizontally, removing the ton bag A that does not meet the bag opening conditions from the production line. When there are folding wrinkles at the bag mouth of the ton bag A and the feeding straight cylinder B of the ton bag A is not placed forward, it is impossible to determine the position deviation and thus impossible to carry out deviation correction adjustment. At this time, the ton bag A can be removed from the production line in time, avoiding affecting the normal bag opening of the subsequent ton bag A and improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0017] C. The movable light-shielding cover 65 is lowered to the bottom to fit the bag mouth of the ton bag A, and the bag mouth positioning color block C is recognized, reducing the influence of external factors such as reflection and improving the accuracy of bag mouth recognition and positioning.
