Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to packaging machinery, in particular to a material commutation device and a packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] For special-shaped materials with one thick end and one thin end or special-shaped materials with inconsistent structures at both ends, it is usually required that they cannot be stacked in the same direction, but the materials need to be stacked staggeredly for subsequent wrapping or bundling. The traditional commutation device uses a suction cup to suck multiple materials at one time. One of the adjacent two materials rotates 180°, while the other does not rotate. In this way, the positioning of the materials during feeding is inaccurate, resulting in inaccurate suction positions of the suction cup, and it is possible that the materials cannot be sucked. Moreover, the materials need a certain rotation radius during rotation. Therefore, the materials need to be arranged at intervals. After sucking the materials, the materials that need to rotate first move a certain distance away from the materials that do not need to rotate to create space. There are defects such as slow commutation speed, low efficiency, and the need for a large commutation space. In addition, the commutation device has a complex structure and high cost. 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 material commutation device with a compact space, low cost, and high efficiency.

[0006] A material commutation device includes a feeding channel, a commutation platform docked with one end of the feeding channel, and a discharging channel docked with one end of the commutation platform. A commutation mechanism for rotating adjacent two materials 90° in opposite directions is provided on the commutation platform.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: The commutation mechanism includes a first telescopic commutation member, a first commutation stop block, and a second telescopic commutation member arranged in sequence along the feeding direction of the feeding channel. The first telescopic commutation member and the second telescopic commutation member are located on the same side of the feeding channel, and the first commutation stop block is located on the other side of the feeding channel.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: A first material in-place detection member is provided on one side of the first telescopic commutation member, and a second material in-place detection member is provided on one side of the second telescopic commutation member.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: A second commutation stop block is provided between the first telescopic commutation member and the second telescopic commutation member.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: an adjusting portion for adjusting the position along the telescopic direction of the first telescopic reversing member is provided on the first reversing stop block.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the adjusting portion is a kidney-shaped adjusting hole.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the first telescopic reversing member and the second telescopic reversing member are cylinders.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: one end of the discharge channel is butted below the reversing platform. Along the feeding direction of the feeding channel, blanking holes for allowing the material after reversing to fall onto the reversing platform are provided on both sides of the first reversing stop block.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the feeding channel includes a feeding conveyor belt and two rows of feeding guiding fences arranged above the feeding conveyor belt, and the discharge channel includes a discharge conveyor belt and two rows of discharge guiding fences arranged above the discharge conveyor belt. The distance between the two rows of feeding guiding fences is smaller than the distance between the two rows of discharge guiding fences.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0017] In the material reversing device disclosed by the present utility model, during operation, the length direction or the special-shaped direction of the material is the same as the feeding direction of the feeding channel, and the feeding directions of all materials are consistent. After adjacent two materials reach the reversing platform, the reversing mechanism acts to rotate adjacent two materials 90° in opposite directions respectively, and the length directions of adjacent two materials are opposite, and then they are output through the discharge channel; since the two materials are rotated 90° in opposite directions respectively, even if the two materials are fed closely, they will not interfere with each other, and there is no need to move any one of the materials to make space. The structure is simpler and more compact, and the two materials are rotated 90° respectively. Compared with a single material rotated 180°, it is beneficial to shorten the time required for reversing and improve the reversing efficiency.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the material commutation device of the present utility model is shown. The material commutation device of this embodiment includes a feeding channel 1, a commutation platform 2 docked with one end of the feeding channel 1, and a discharging channel 3 docked with one end of the commutation platform 2. A commutation mechanism 5 for rotating two adjacent materials 4 by 90° in opposite directions respectively is provided on the commutation platform 2.

[0031] In the material commutation device of this embodiment, during operation, the length direction or the special-shaped direction of the material 4 is the same as the feeding direction of the feeding channel 1 ( Figure 1 taking as an example, the structures at the left and right ends of the material 4 are inconsistent, so the material 4 is placed on the feeding channel 1 in the left-right direction, and the feeding channel 1 feeds from left to right), the feeding directions of all the materials 4 are the same. After two adjacent materials 4 reach the commutation platform 2, the commutation mechanism 5 acts to rotate two adjacent materials 4 by 90° in opposite directions respectively, and the length directions of two adjacent materials 4 become opposite, and then they are output through the discharging channel 3 (see Figure 3 specifically, the special-shaped directions of two adjacent materials 4 on the discharging channel 3 are opposite); since the two materials 4 are rotated by 90° in opposite directions respectively, even if the two materials 4 are fed closely, they will not interfere with each other, and there is no need to move any one of the materials 4 to make space, the structure is simpler and more compact, and the two materials 4 are rotated by 90° respectively, compared with a single material 4 rotated by 180°, it is beneficial to shorten the time required for commutation and improve the commutation efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the commutation mechanism 5 includes a first telescopic commutation member 51, a first commutation stop block 52, and a second telescopic commutation member 53 arranged in sequence along the feeding direction of the feeding channel 1. The first telescopic commutation member 51 and the second telescopic commutation member 53 are located on the same side of the feeding channel 1, and the first commutation stop block 52 is located on the other side of the feeding channel 1. See Figure 2 specifically, preferably, after two adjacent materials 4 are in place, the first telescopic commutation member 51 and the second telescopic commutation member 53 extend synchronously. The material 4 on the left rotates clockwise by 90° under the action of the first telescopic commutation member 51 and the first commutation stop block 52, while the material 4 on the right rotates counterclockwise by 90° under the action of the second telescopic commutation member 53 and the first commutation stop block 52 to complete the commutation, with a simple structure and high commutation efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first material-in-place detector 54 is provided on one side of the first telescopic reversing member 51, and a second material-in-place detector 55 is provided on one side of the second telescopic reversing member 53. The first and second material-in-place detectors 54, 55 are used to detect whether two adjacent materials 4 are in place. Upon detecting that two adjacent materials 4 are in place, the first and second telescopic reversing members 51, 53 extend, further improving the reliability of the reversing mechanism 5. The first and second material-in-place detectors 54, 55 can be various sensors, travel switches, and the like.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a second reversing stopper 56 is provided between the first telescopic reversing member 51 and the second telescopic reversing member 53. The second reversing stopper 56 prevents the two materials 4 from accidentally moving toward the side where the first telescopic reversing member 51 and the second telescopic reversing member 53 are located during the reversing process, ensuring that the materials 4 can be smoothly transferred to the discharge channel 3 after reversing, further improving the reliability of the reversing mechanism 5.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first reversing stopper 52 is provided with an adjusting portion 521 for adjusting the position along the telescopic direction of the first telescopic reversing member 51. By adjusting the position of the first reversing stopper 52, the material 4 of different lengths can be accommodated, thereby improving the applicability of the reversing mechanism 5.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the adjustment portion 521 is a waist-shaped adjustment hole, which has a simple and effective structure and is easy to adjust. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjustment portion 521 can also be a sliding groove, a sliding rail, or other structures.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the first telescopic reversing member 51 and the second telescopic reversing member 53 are cylinders. Cylinder technology is mature, low-cost, and reliable. Of course, in other embodiments, the first telescopic reversing member 51 and the second telescopic reversing member 53 can also be oil cylinders, screw-nut mechanisms, etc.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one end of the discharge channel 3 is docked below the reversing platform 2. Along the feeding direction of the feed channel 1, drop holes 57 are provided on both sides of the first reversing block 52 for allowing the reversed materials 4 to fall onto the reversing platform 2. After reversing, two adjacent materials 4 fall from their corresponding drop holes 57 into the discharge channel 3 below, and are then transported downstream by the discharge channel 3, resulting in a simple and effective structure.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding channel 1 includes a feeding conveyor belt 11 and two rows of feeding guiding fences 12 arranged above the feeding conveyor belt 11, the discharging channel 3 includes a discharging conveyor belt 31 and two rows of discharging guiding fences 32 arranged above the discharging conveyor belt 31, and the distance between the two rows of feeding guiding fences 12 is smaller than the distance between the two rows of discharging guiding fences 32. Through the limiting and guiding action of the two rows of feeding guiding fences 12, the offset of the material 4 during the feeding process can be prevented, facilitating subsequent commutation; through the limiting and guiding action of the two rows of discharging guiding fences 32, the offset of the commuted material 4 during the discharging process can be prevented, facilitating subsequent wrapping or bundling; since the material 4 has completed commutation, correspondingly, the distance or width between the two rows of discharging guiding fences 32 needs to be greater than the distance or width between the two rows of feeding guiding fences 12, and the structure is reasonable and effective.
