Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of towel manufacturing products, and particularly relates to a towel stacking and transferring device. Background Technique

[0002] As an indispensable item in daily life, towels need to go through multiple processes during production and processing, including folding, stacking, and transferring. Traditional towel processing methods mainly rely on manual operations in these processes, which not only leads to low production efficiency but also increases labor costs and the possibility of operation errors. With the progress of technology and the development of automation technology, more and more enterprises have begun to explore the automation upgrade of towel processing equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] In existing towel processing equipment, the folding of towels is usually achieved through mechanical principles, folding towels of various specifications into rectangular flat shapes, mainly for the production and packaging of hotel bath towels and wet towels. However, when stacking towels, it is easy to cause an increase in friction between towels and uneven stress on the towels, resulting in towel deformation or tipping.

[0004] Therefore, this application has developed a towel stacking and transferring device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a towel stacking and transferring device to solve the problems of uneven stress and excessive friction during the towel stacking process in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a towel stacking and transferring device, comprising:

[0007] A conveyor belt for transporting towels;

[0008] A stacking structure, the stacking structure includes a lifting platform and a pair of insertion plates. The lifting platform is driven by a first driving mechanism, and a plurality of lifting columns are evenly distributed on the lifting platform. The gaps between the plurality of lifting columns and the conveyor belt are opposite. A pair of insertion plates are distributed on both sides of the conveyor belt. The insertion plates are driven by a second driving mechanism to approach or move away from the conveyor belt in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the conveyor belt. When the towel moves above the lifting column, the lifting column lifts up to push the towel up, and a pair of insertion plates approach the conveyor belt and move to the bottom of the towel to lift the towel up;

[0009] A receiving plate is arranged at one end far from the conveyor belt and receives the stacked towels;

[0010] The transfer board is located in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt and is used to transfer the stacked towels on the conveyor belt. Driven by a driving device, it moves between the receiving plate and the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the plug-in board is formed by a plurality of connecting plates arranged at intervals. The distance between adjacent two connecting plates is greater than the diameter of the lifting column, and the distance between adjacent two lifting columns is greater than the width of the connecting plate. When the connecting plate is located at the bottom of the towel, a plurality of the lifting columns are located within the intervals of the plurality of connecting plates.

[0012] Preferably, a pair of the plug-in boards are symmetrically arranged relative to the conveyor belt. When a pair of the plug-in boards move to the bottom of the towel, the ends of the two symmetrically arranged connecting plates are butted against each other.

[0013] Preferably, when the connecting plates are opposite to each other, the orthographic projection of the towel on the plug-in board falls on the plane where the two plug-in boards and a plurality of lifting columns are located.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of support plates extend from one end of the transfer board away from the driving device. When the transfer board moves to one end in the movement direction of the conveyor belt, a plurality of the support plates are located at the gap positions of the conveyor belt, and the length of the support plate is greater than the length of the towel.

[0015] Preferably, the receiving plate is provided with a plurality of placement holes, and the plurality of placement holes correspond to the plurality of support plates one by one.

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

[0017] (1) After the lifting column jacks up the towel, the plug-in board holds up the towel. When the lifting column descends and the next towel is conveyed above the lifting column, the lifting column jacks up the towel again, and then the plug-in board withdraws to stack the two towels on top of each other. The towel will not move horizontally and will not generate additional friction, which will affect the quality of the towel.

[0018] (2) When the conveyor belt transports the towel to the end, the support plate is inserted into the gap of the conveyor belt to hold up the stacked towel, so that the towel will not partially separate from the conveyor belt, resulting in uneven force, and preventing the stacked towel from being misaligned or toppled.

[0030] The following combines specific embodiments to further elaborate on the content of the present utility model:

[0031] As Figures 1-3 shown, a towel stacking and transferring device includes a conveyor belt 1, a stacking structure 2, and a transfer plate 4. The stacking structure 2 includes a lifting platform 21 and a pair of plug-in boards 22. A plurality of lifting columns 24 are evenly distributed on the lifting platform 21. The gaps between the plurality of lifting columns 24 are opposite to those of the conveyor belt 1. When the first driving mechanism 23 drives the lifting platform 21 to move, the lifting columns 24 move with the lifting platform 21 and move the plurality of lifting columns 24 between the gaps of the conveyor belt 1. When the towel moves below the lifting columns 24, the lifting columns 24 lift the towel away from the conveyor belt 1. Subsequently, the plug-in boards 22 arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 move to the bottom of the towel under the drive of the second driving structure to lift the towel. The lifting columns 24 move downward to wait for the next towel to reach the position and lift the towel again. At this time, the plug-in boards 22 return to the initial position, causing the towel on the plug-in boards 22 to fall, thereby achieving the stacking effect. During the handling process, the towel is prone to friction and extrusion, which may cause fiber damage or deformation. Stacking by the direct dropping method reduces the friction and collision between towels, reduces the risk of damage, helps to maintain the integrity and service life of the towel, and at the same time, can ensure that the towels can be stacked quickly and neatly together, facilitating subsequent transfer and binding, and improving the stacking efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figures 4-6As shown in the figure, after the towels are stacked, the stacked towels continue to move forward under the drive of the conveyor belt 1. The transfer plate 4 moves to one end in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 1 under the action of the driving device 41. Among them, a plurality of support plates 42 extend from the end of the transfer plate 4 away from the driving device 41, and the support plates 42 extend towards the conveyor belt 1. At this time, the plurality of support plates 42 are located between the gaps of the conveyor belt 1. Driven by the driving device 41, the stacked towels are lifted and placed on the receiving plate 3. At this time, the towels are still on the conveyor belt 1, and the support plates 42 are inserted between the gaps of the conveyor belt 1, preventing the support plates 42 from being located at the end of the conveyor belt 1, so that part of the towel is on the conveyor belt 1 and part is on the support plates 42, resulting in different forces on the two parts of the towel, and thus causing deviation under the influence of friction, resulting in misalignment or dumping of the stacked towels. Among them, the length of the support plate 42 is greater than the length of the towel, ensuring that the towel is fully supported when placed, and preventing the towel from being deformed or damaged due to partial suspension.

[0033] To prevent obstacles from being generated when the lifting column 24 lifts the towel, as Figure 2 shown, the distance between two adjacent connecting plates 221 is greater than the diameter of the lifting column 24, and the distance between two adjacent lifting columns 24 is greater than the width of the connecting plate 221. When the connecting plate 221 moves to the bottom of the towel, a plurality of lifting columns 24 are located within the intervals of the plurality of connecting plates 221. When the distance between two adjacent connecting plates 221 is greater than the diameter of the lifting column 24, it can be ensured that the lifting column 24 will not collide with or interfere with the connecting plate 221 during the rising or falling process, affecting the stacking of the towels and the stability of the equipment.

[0034] To prevent the towels from being deformed on the two plug-in plates 22, a pair of plug-in plates 22 are symmetrically arranged relative to the conveyor belt 1, and when the plug-in plates 22 move to the bottom of the towel, the ends of the two symmetrically arranged connecting plates 221 are in contact with each other. When the ends of the two symmetrically arranged connecting plates 221 are in contact with each other, a more stable support structure is formed, which can prevent the towels from collapsing or shifting during the stacking process.

[0035] Furthermore, when the connecting plates 221 are opposite to each other, the orthographic projection of the towel on the plug-in plates 22 falls on the plane where the two plug-in plates 22 and the plurality of lifting columns 24 are located. The design of the plug-in plates 22 and the lifting columns 24 can ensure that the towels can be accurately aligned and positioned during the stacking process, so that the towels can be stacked more neatly together.

[0036] Furthermore, as Figures 4-5 shown, a plurality of placement holes 31 are provided on the receiving plate 3. When the transfer plate 4 moves to the position of the receiving plate 3, the plurality of support plates 42 correspond to the plurality of placement holes 31 one by one. The support plates 42 pass through the placement holes 31, and the stacked towels are placed on the receiving plate 3. The transfer plate 4 retreats under the action of the driving device 41 to complete the transfer of the stacked towels.

[0037] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] When the towel is stacked, the folded towel moves on the conveyor belt 1. When the towel moves above the lifting column 24, the first driving mechanism 23 drives the lifting column 24 to rise and lift the towel, so that the towel is separated from the conveyor belt 1. Then the second driving mechanism 25 drives the plug board 22 to move to the bottom of the towel, lifts the towel, and the first driving mechanism 23 descends again to wait for the next towel. When the next towel moves above the lifting column 24 again, the lifting column 24 lifts the towel again, and the plug board 22 moves away from the conveyor belt 1, so that the towel on the plug board 22 falls on the lifting column 24 to complete the stacking. Then the plug board 22 repeats the movement of lifting the towel and making the towel fall on the lifting column 24 until all the towels are stacked. The lifting column 24 places the stacked towels on the conveyor belt 1, and the conveyor belt 1 drives the towels to continue moving. The driving device 41 drives the adapter plate 4 to move, inserts the support plate 42 into the gap of the conveyor belt 1, and lifts the stacked towels. Then the support plate 42 passes through the placement hole and places the towels on the receiving plate 3.
