Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an improved invention of a hose packaging device, and particularly to a hose transfer mechanism of a hose packaging device. Background Art

[0002] For paste and emulsion materials in industries such as daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food, hose filling and sealing packaging is adopted. Reference can be made to the publication numbers CN102633009A, CN109515870A, the invention name "An Automatic Hose Filling and Sealing Machine", and the publication number CN202541849U, the invention name "An Automatic High-Speed Hose Filling and Sealing Machine", etc. After the filling process of the hose is completed, the discharged and collected hoses then enter the packaging device for packaging operations. Currently, the filling and sealing of hoses and hose packaging are processed by two devices, and manual handling and transfer of hoses are required, resulting in high labor costs and low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a hose transfer mechanism to realize the on-line production of hose filling and packaging, eliminate manual handling and transfer, and improve production efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This kind of hose transfer mechanism is characterized in that it includes a receiving component and a swinging component.

[0005] The receiving component includes a feeding channel, the feeding channel is inclined, and the feeding end of the feeding channel is higher than the discharging end.

[0006] The swinging component is a swinging component that reciprocates between a material receiving station and a transfer station. The swinging component includes a hose tail receiving groove. The inlet of the receiving groove faces vertically downward as the material receiving station, and the receiving groove swings upward and the inlet of the receiving groove faces the feeding end of the feeding channel as the transfer station. The receiving groove at the material receiving station is directly above the discharging station of the hose filling and sealing machine. The discharging device at the discharging station pushes the hose upward to make the tail of the hose enter the upper receiving groove. The receiving groove swings upward, driving the hose to swing accordingly. The receiving groove swings to the transfer station, and the head of the hose faces the feeding channel and enters the feeding channel, completing the transfer of the hose.

[0007] Preferably, the receiving groove is arranged on a swinging plate. When the receiving groove faces vertically downward, the part of the swinging plate lower than the inlet of the receiving groove is a material supporting part, and the material supporting part of the swinging plate is connected to the feeding end of the feeding channel. The material supporting part of the swinging plate increases the contact area with the hose. During the swinging process from the material receiving station to the transfer station, the swinging plate supports and pushes the hose, enabling the hose to swing smoothly to the transfer station along with the swinging plate.

[0008] Preferably, the swing plate is mounted on a rotating shaft which is rotatably arranged on the frame. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the cylinder. The cylinder drives the connecting rod to swing, and the connecting rod drives the rotating shaft to rotate forward or backward, causing the swing plate to swing reciprocally between the material receiving station and the transfer station.

[0009] Preferably, the receiving groove is in the shape of a triangular prism or a quadrangular prism. The two parallel bottom surfaces of the prism are respectively the left side wall and the right side wall of the receiving groove, and the side surfaces of the prism are respectively the inlet, the front wall and the rear wall of the receiving groove. When the receiving groove is at the material receiving station, the left side wall and the right side wall are trapezoidal or triangular with the upper part smaller and the lower part larger. The shape of the receiving groove is close to that of the tail of the hose, so that the hose fits better with the receiving groove and the feeding is more stable.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding channel is arranged on the guiding plate. An upper baffle and a side baffle are provided above the guiding plate. The side baffle is arranged at the feeding end of the guiding plate, and the side baffle extends the feeding end of the feeding channel upward. During the transfer operation, the receiving groove enters the feeding end of the feeding channel, enabling the head of the hose to smoothly enter the feeding channel. At the same time, it avoids the hose from jumping or rotating when entering the feeding channel. The setting of the upper baffle prevents the hose from disengaging from the feeding channel during movement.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting component is provided below the discharging end of the feeding channel. The connecting component includes a connecting seat and a horizontally movable supporting plate. A vertical feeding channel is provided on the connecting seat. The upper end of the feeding channel is connected to the discharging end of the feeding channel, and the supporting plate is arranged at the lower end of the feeding channel. The hose enters the feeding channel from the feeding channel, changes from an inclined state to a horizontal state, and is output from the feeding channel in a horizontal state.

[0012] Preferably, the supporting plate includes a left supporting plate and a right supporting plate which move horizontally. When they are closed, the feeding channel is closed, and when they are separated, the feeding channel is opened. The left supporting plate and the right supporting plate move simultaneously to open the feeding channel, which not only speeds up the opening speed, but also the relative movement of the left and right supporting plates with respect to the hose cancels out the friction generated on the hose, so that the hose remains horizontal and does not turn over.

[0013] Preferably, a horizontal conveying component is provided below the connecting component. The horizontal conveying component includes a conveyor belt and conveying molds. The conveying molds are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt, and the conveying molds have material grooves matching the hose. The conveyor belt conveys intermittently. When the feeding channel is opened, one conveying mold is directly below the feeding channel. The hose vertically falls into the material groove of the conveying mold from the feeding channel.

[0014] Preferably, a baffle for entering and exiting the feeding channel is provided at the discharging end of the feeding channel. The feeding channel between the baffle and the connecting component is a storage section.

[0015] The upper baffle is provided with a wire groove for the material baffle to pass through, and the material baffle is connected to a cylinder that drives it to move vertically relative to the feeding channel. The material baffle isolates the storage section, enabling the hoses to be output one by one and in an orderly manner.

[0016] Preferably, the receiving groove is surrounded by a left baffle, a right baffle, a front baffle, and a rear baffle. The rear baffle is installed on the swing plate or the swing plate serves as the rear baffle. Description of the Drawings

[0023] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention, as well as the relevant details and working principles of the embodiments, in conjunction with the drawings. In the figures, the X-axis is the horizontal direction and also the left-right direction; the Y-axis is the longitudinal direction and also the front-back direction; the Z-axis is the vertical direction and also the up-down direction.

[0024] This kind of hose transfer mechanism includes a receiving component 2 and a swing component 1. The receiving component 2 includes a feeding channel 8, and the feeding channel 8 is inclined. The feeding end of the feeding channel 8 is higher than the discharging end, and it conveys from top to bottom. The swing component 1 is a swing component 1 that reciprocally swings between the material receiving station and the transfer station. The swing component 1 includes a receiving groove 6 for the tail of the hose. The entrance of the receiving groove 6 faces vertically downward as the material receiving station, and the receiving groove 6 swings upward and the entrance of the receiving groove 6 faces the feeding end of the feeding channel 8 as the transfer station.

[0025] The receiving groove 6 is formed by a left baffle, a right baffle 16, a front baffle 17, and a rear baffle. The shape of the receiving groove 6 is close to the shape of the tail of the hose, and it is a triangular prism type or a quadrangular prism type. The two parallel bottom surfaces of the prism are respectively the left side wall and the right side wall of the receiving groove 6. The left side wall and the right side wall respectively correspond to the left baffle and the right baffle 16. The side surfaces of the prism are respectively the inlet, the front wall, and the rear wall of the receiving groove 6. The front wall and the rear wall respectively correspond to the front baffle 17 and the rear baffle. At the material receiving station, the left side wall and the right side wall of the receiving groove 6 are trapezoids or triangles with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. In the figure, the receiving groove 6 is quadrangular prism-shaped, and the left baffle and the right baffle 16 are trapezoids. The receiving groove 6 at the material receiving station is directly above the discharging station of the hose filling and sealing machine. The discharging device at the discharging station pushes the hose upward, so that the tail of the hose enters the upper receiving groove 6. The receiving groove 6 swings upward and swings towards the feeding end of the feeding channel. The hose whose tail enters the receiving groove 6 swings accordingly. The centrifugal force keeps the hose and the receiving groove 6 in a relatively static state. Moreover, the tail of the hose is close to the shape of the receiving groove 6, and the two fit together, making the swinging feeding more stable. When the receiving groove 6 swings to the transfer station and the head of the hose faces the feeding channel 8, after stopping swinging, the hose automatically enters the feeding channel 8 due to gravity and is sent out by the feeding channel 8. The other end of the feeding channel 8 can be connected to the feeding end of the hose packaging equipment to realize the continuous production of filling and sealing and hose packaging.

[0026] Since the feeding channel 8 is inclined, in order to make the output hose in a lying state for easy packaging; a connecting component 3 is provided below the discharging end of the feeding channel 8. The connecting component 3 includes a connecting seat 20 and a horizontally movable pallet. A vertical material passing channel 12 is provided on the connecting seat. The upper end of the material passing channel 12 is connected to the discharging end of the feeding channel 8. The pallet is arranged at the lower end of the material passing channel 12. The hose enters the material passing channel 12 from the feeding channel 8, changes from an inclined state to a lying state, and is output from the material passing channel 12 in a lying state. A horizontal conveying component 4 is provided below the connecting component 3. The horizontal conveying component 4 includes a conveyor belt and conveying dies 18. The conveying dies 18 are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt. The conveying die 18 has a material groove 19 matching the hose. The conveyor belt conveys intermittently. When the material passing channel 12 is opened, a conveying die 18 is directly below the material passing channel 12, that is, the hose falls vertically from the material passing channel 12 into the material groove 19 of the conveying die 18. The horizontal conveying component 4 can directly serve as the material conveying component of the hose packaging equipment, and the hose entering the material groove 19 is directly conveyed to the packaging station. The pallet includes a left pallet and a right pallet that move horizontally. When the two are closed, the material passing channel 12 is closed. When the two are separated, the material passing channel 12 is opened. The left pallet and the right pallet move simultaneously to open the material passing channel 12, which not only speeds up the opening speed, but also the left and right pallets move relative to the hose at the same time, and the friction generated on the hose cancels each other out. The hose remains horizontal and does not turn over, so that the front and back of the output hose are consistent. If a whole pallet is used, the single-sided movement of the pallet will cause the hose to rotate, resulting in changes in the front and back of the hose entering and outputting, so that the front and back of the hose conveyed on the conveyor belt cannot be unified, affecting subsequent packaging operations.

[0027] A baffle 10 for entering and exiting the feeding channel is provided at the discharging end of the feeding channel 8. The feeding channel between the baffle 10 and the connecting component 3 is a storage section 11. The baffle 10 isolates the storage section 11 from other hoses in the feeding channel 8. The length of the storage section 11 is not shorter than the length of a hose, and at least one hose can be accommodated. The upper baffle 9 is provided with a wire groove for the baffle 10 to pass through. The baffle 10 is connected to a cylinder that drives it to move vertically relative to the feeding channel 8. When a hose enters the storage section 11, the baffle 10 passes through the wire groove and enters the feeding channel 8 to separate the hose from other hoses. After the material passing channel 12 is opened and the hose in the storage section 11 enters the material groove 19 through the material passing channel 12, the material passing channel 12 is closed, and the cylinder drives the baffle 10 to withdraw from the feeding channel 8. When the next hose enters the storage section 11, the baffle 10 enters the feeding channel 8 again, so as to ensure the orderly delivery of the hoses.

[0028] The receiving trough 6 is provided on the swing plate 5, and the rear baffle can be installed on the swing plate 5 or the swing plate 5 can directly serve as the rear baffle. When the receiving trough 6 is vertically downward, the portion of the swing plate 5 below the entrance of the receiving trough 6 is a material support portion 7, and the material support portion 7 of the swing plate is connected to the feed end of the feeding channel 8. The material support portion 7 of the swing plate can increase the contact area between the swing plate 5 and the hose. During the swing process from the receiving station to the transfer station, the proportion of the swing plate 5 supporting the hose and acting on the hose is increased, so that the swing component 1 can smoothly swing the hose to the transfer station. The swing plate 5 is mounted on a rotating shaft 14, which is rotatably mounted on the frame. The rotating shaft 14 is connected to one end of a connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to a cylinder 15. The cylinder 15 drives the connecting rod to swing, and the connecting rod drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the swing plate 5 swings back and forth between the receiving station and the transfer station. The feeding channel 8 is arranged on the guide plate, and an upper baffle 9 and a side baffle 13 are provided above the guide plate. The setting of the upper baffle 9 prevents the hose from escaping from the feeding channel 8 during movement, and the side baffle 13 sets the feed end of the guide plate. The side baffle 13 extends the feed end of the feeding channel 8 upward. During the transfer operation, the receiving trough 6 enters the feed end of the feeding channel 8, so that the head of the hose can smoothly enter the feeding channel 8, and at the same time avoids the hose from jumping and rotating at the feed end of the feed channel, so that the front and back of the hose remain unchanged from the output of the filling and sealing equipment to the input of the feed channel, thereby ensuring that the front and back of the output hose remain consistent, which is beneficial to the subsequent hose packaging.

[0029] The working principle of the preferred embodiment is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] The unloading device of the filling and sealing equipment pushes the hose at the unloading station upward, and the tail of the hose enters the receiving slot 6 above. At this time, the hose is separated from the filling and sealing equipment, and the cylinder 15 drives the connecting rod to rotate the rotating shaft 14, driving the swing plate 5 to swing upward, so that the hose swings to the feeding end of the feeding channel and enters between the baffles 13 on both sides. The head of the hose faces the feeding channel, and the rotating shaft 14 stops rotating. The hose enters the feeding channel due to gravity, and then the cylinder 15 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate in the opposite direction. The swing plate 5 swings to the receiving station and waits to receive the next hose. The hoses entering the feeding channel are arranged in the feeding channel in sequence. When the hose in the storage section 11 is sent out and the support plate closes the feed channel 12, the baffle plate 10 leaves the feeding channel 8 and the storage section 11 opens. When a hose enters the storage section 11, the baffle plate 10 enters the feeding channel 8 to close the storage section 11, and the hose in the storage section 11 enters the feed channel 12, and the hose changes from an inclined state to a horizontal state; when the transmission belt sends the next empty transmission mold 18 to the bottom of the feed channel 12, the support plate moves horizontally, the feed channel 12 opens, and the horizontal hose enters the material trough 19 of the transmission mold 18, and the transmission belt drives the hose to the hose packaging equipment.
