Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food and drug packaging, and particularly relates to a conveying system. Background Art

[0002] When materials are conveyed to the rear-end packaging equipment for packaging, they are generally conveyed one by one in sequence by a conveyor line. However, this conveying method has a low conveying efficiency. To increase the conveying speed, the materials can be loaded row by row and conveyed simultaneously. Therefore, the materials will reach the output end at the same time. However, the rear-end packaging equipment requires feeding one by one for packaging. When the output end of the conveyor line feeds materials into the packaging equipment, it may cause material accumulation and blockage, affecting subsequent packaging. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a conveying system that can avoid material accumulation and reduce blockage.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A conveying system includes an input mechanism, a material flipping and transferring mechanism, an alignment conveyor belt, and multiple feeding conveyor belts arranged in parallel. The material flipping and transferring mechanism is used to transfer and flip the materials vertically input on the input mechanism to a horizontal state and then place them on each feeding conveyor belt. The multiple feeding conveyor belts are all driven by independent driving mechanisms, and the output ends are all docked with the alignment conveyor belt. The alignment conveyor belt is used to discharge the materials in a row in sequence.

[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0007] There are four feeding conveyor belts. The conveying speed of the first feeding conveyor belt is V1, the conveying speed V2 of the second feeding conveyor belt ≥ V1 + H / T, the conveying speed V3 of the third feeding conveyor belt ≥ V2 + H / T, the conveying speed V4 of the fourth feeding conveyor belt ≥ V3 + H / T, and the conveying speed V5 of the alignment conveyor belt ≥ V4, where H is the length of the material and T is the production beat of the material.

[0008] The minimum value V1min of V1 = H / T.

[0009] The alignment conveyor belt includes a transition input channel, an alignment channel, and a guiding output channel that are sequentially connected along the conveying direction. The transition input channel is docked with the output ends of the feeding conveyor belts. The width of the alignment channel gradually decreases along the conveying direction. The guiding output channel is used to pass a single material.

[0010] The guiding output channel is collinear with the fourth feeding conveyor belt.

[0011] The length L1 of the described transition input channel satisfies L1≥H.

[0012] The length L2 of the described entire-column channel satisfies L2≥2H.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] In the conveying system disclosed by the present utility model, materials are vertically input by the input mechanism. After approaching the feeding conveyor belt, the material flipping and transferring mechanism transfers and flips the materials input by the input mechanism to a horizontal state and then places them on each feeding conveyor belt. Since each feeding conveyor belt is driven by an independent driving mechanism, the speeds of each feeding conveyor belt are controlled to form a speed difference between each feeding conveyor belt, so that the materials are staggered in the conveying direction, and finally successively enter the entire-column conveyor belt for alignment and then are output in a column to the subsequent packaging equipment in sequence, avoiding the accumulation of materials on the entire-column conveyor belt and reducing the situation of material blockage.

[0015] The conveying method of the conveying system disclosed by the present utility model can make the vertically input materials enter the feeding conveyor belt in a horizontal state, and after being spaced apart on each feeding conveyor belt, successively enter the entire-column conveyor belt for alignment, and finally are output in a column to the subsequent equipment in sequence, avoiding the accumulation of materials on the entire-column conveyor belt and reducing material blockage.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the conveying system of the present utility model is shown. The conveying system of this embodiment includes an input mechanism 1, a material turning and transferring mechanism 2, an aligning conveyor belt 3, and a plurality of feeding conveyor belts 4 arranged in parallel. The material turning and transferring mechanism 2 is used to turn and transfer the material 5 vertically input on the input mechanism 1 to a horizontal state and then place it on each feeding conveyor belt 4. The plurality of feeding conveyor belts 4 are all driven by independent driving mechanisms, and the output ends are all docked with the aligning conveyor belt 3. The aligning conveyor belt 3 is used to discharge the materials 5 in a row in sequence.

[0026] In this conveying system, the material 5 is vertically input from the input mechanism 1. After approaching the feeding conveyor belt 4, the material turning and transferring mechanism 2 transfers and turns the material 5 input by the input mechanism 1 to a horizontal state and then places it on each feeding conveyor belt 4. Since each feeding conveyor belt 4 is driven by an independent driving mechanism, the speeds of each feeding conveyor belt 4 are controlled to form a speed difference between each feeding conveyor belt 4, so that the materials 5 are staggered in the conveying direction and finally enter the aligning conveyor belt 3 in sequence for alignment and then are output in a row to the subsequent packaging equipment in sequence, avoiding the accumulation of materials on the aligning conveyor belt 3 and reducing the situation of material blockage.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are four feeding conveyor belts 4. The conveying speed of the first feeding conveyor belt 41 is V1, the conveying speed V2 of the second feeding conveyor belt 42 ≥ V1 + H / T, the conveying speed V3 of the third feeding conveyor belt 43 ≥ V2 + H / T, the conveying speed V4 of the fourth feeding conveyor belt 44 ≥ V3 + H / T, and the conveying speed V5 of the aligning conveyor belt 3 ≥ V4, where H is the length of the material 5 and T is the production beat of the material 5. So that the materials 5 on each feeding conveyor belt 1 are output with at least a difference of the length of one material 5. That is, when outputting, the material 5 on the fourth feeding conveyor belt 44 is at least one material 5 length faster than the material 5 on the third feeding conveyor belt 43, the material 5 on the third feeding conveyor belt 43 is at least one material 5 length faster than the material 5 on the second feeding conveyor belt 42, and the material 5 on the second feeding conveyor belt 42 is at least one material 5 length faster than the material 5 on the first feeding conveyor belt 41, avoiding the overlap of the materials 5 in the conveying direction and causing material blockage. Of course, in other embodiments, more or fewer feeding conveyor belts 4 can be set according to actual production needs.

[0028] In this embodiment, the minimum value V1min of V1 = H / T. That is, within the beat time, at least a distance of the length of one material 5 should be traveled.

[0029] In this embodiment, the aligning conveyor belt 3 includes a transition input channel 31, an aligning channel 32, and a guiding output channel 33 that are sequentially connected along the conveying direction. The transition input channel 31 is docked with the output ends of each feeding conveyor belt 4. The width of the aligning channel 32 gradually decreases along the conveying direction. The guiding output channel 33 is used to pass a single material 5. The materials 5 on each feeding conveyor belt 4 enter the transition input channel 31 in sequence and then enter the aligning channel 32. Since the width of the aligning channel 32 gradually decreases along the conveying direction, that is, the width of the input end is the same as the width of the transition input channel 31, and the width of the output end is the same as the width of the guiding output channel 33, the materials 5 will be aligned into a row in the aligning channel 32 and then output from the guiding output channel 33 in sequence.

[0030] In this embodiment, the guiding output channel 33 is collinear with the fourth feeding conveyor belt 44. The conveying speed of the material 5 on the fourth feeding conveyor belt 44 is the fastest, and the linear distance from the guiding output channel 33 is the shortest, so that the material 5 can enter the guiding output channel 33 first. The conveying speed of the material 5 on the third feeding conveyor belt 43 is the second fastest, and the linear distance from the guiding output channel 33 is the second shortest, so that the material 5 can enter the guiding output channel 33 second. The same principle applies to the conveying of the material 5 on the second feeding conveyor belt 42 and the first feeding conveyor belt 41, which can avoid the overlapping of the materials 5 on other feeding conveyor belts 44 in the conveying direction and cause blockage.

[0031] In this embodiment, the length L1 of the transition input channel 31 ≥ H. The transition effect is good, which can further avoid the overlapping of the materials 5 on each feeding conveyor belt 4 in the conveying direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, the length L2 of the alignment channel 32 ≥ 2H. Further avoid the overlapping of the materials 5 on each feeding conveyor belt 4 in the conveying direction.

[0033] Embodiment 2

[0034] The conveying method of the conveying system in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0035] S1. The material 5 is vertically input from the input mechanism 1, and the material 5 is transported and turned over by the material turning and transporting mechanism 2 until it is in a horizontal state and then placed on each feeding conveyor belt 4;

[0036] S2. Each feeding conveyor belt 4 uses the speed difference between each other to separate the input materials 5;

[0037] S3. After the materials 5 on each feeding conveyor belt 4 are separated, they all enter the alignment conveyor belt 3 for alignment and then are output to the rear-end equipment in a row in turn.

[0038] This conveying method can make the vertically input material 5 enter the feeding conveyor belt 4 in a horizontal state, separate the distance on each feeding conveyor belt 4 and then enter the alignment conveyor belt 3 for alignment in turn, and finally be output to the rear-end equipment in a row in turn, avoiding the accumulation of the material 5 on the alignment conveyor belt 3 and reducing blockage.

Any person skilled in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention by using the above-disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
