Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of baling machines, in particular to a corner protection feeding device, a baling machine and a packaging production line. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the logistics industry, goods are often strapped with strapping tape before transportation. With the promotion of automated strapping technology, strapping machines with automatic strapping functions are widely used. During the strapping process, corner protectors are often placed to complement the strapping tape. However, placing corner protectors on top of the goods is labor-intensive due to their high height.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113443235A discloses a packaging device with an automatic corner guard feeding function and its control method. The device utilizes a storage rack to store corner guards and automatically feeds the corner guards by configuring a feeding module. The supplied corner guards are then clamped by a clamping module to automatically place them on the corners of the goods for bundling. However, due to the use of a single storage rack, in order to store a sufficient number of corner guards, the overall height of the storage rack is relatively high. Chinese Patent Announcement No. CN220616314U discloses a double-bin feeding device for short corner guards. The device uses two silos, which are arranged directly above a pushing mechanism. The pushing mechanism automatically outputs and feeds the corner guards in the two silos in turn.

[0004] In actual use, the corner protector filling process requires the operator to go to the strapping machine to fill the corner protector (i.e., fill the corner protector online). Even if a dual-bin system is used, the operator must fill the corner protector at a high position, resulting in poor operational convenience and low filling efficiency. In view of this, how to design a technology that facilitates the operator to fill the corner protector and improves operational efficiency is the technical problem to be solved by this utility model.

[0047] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a corner guard feeding device, comprising:

[0049] The silo mechanism 1 includes a support member 11 and a transfer carrier 12. The transfer carrier 12 is formed with a carrying portion 121 for stacking corner protectors. The transfer carrier 12 is configured to be separated from the support member 11, filled with corner protectors in the carrying portion 121, and then transferred to the support member 11. The transfer carrier 12 is detachably mounted on the support member 11.

[0050] The pushing mechanism 2 includes a driving component 21 and a pushing component 22 . The pushing component 22 is configured to be driven by the driving component 21 to output the corner guard in the bearing portion 121 from the discharge port 111 .

[0051] Specifically, the present application provides a corner guard feeding device that uses a hopper mechanism 1 to hold corner guards and pushes and outputs the corner guards in the hopper mechanism 1 through a push-pull component in a pusher mechanism 2. The corner guards in the hopper mechanism 1 are stored in a carrying portion 121 of a transfer carrier 12. Under the pushing action of the pusher component 22, the corner guards in the carrying portion 121 of the transfer carrier 12 can be pushed and output one by one.

[0052] Wherein, a discharge port 111 may be correspondingly provided on the support component 11 or the transfer carrier 12 as required, so as to meet the requirements of corner guard output through the discharge port 111. The following description will be made by taking the discharge port 111 provided on the support component 11 as an example.

[0053] The corner guard at the discharge port 111 in the bearing portion 121 can be discharged from the discharge port 111 under the pushing action of the pushing member 22. The structural form and driving method of driving the push-pull member to move back and forth by the pushing mechanism 2 through the driving member 21 to realize the conveying of the corner guard from the discharge port 111 can adopt the structural form and driving method of the prior art, which will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0054] In particular, for the silo mechanism 1, the corner protectors stored in the silo mechanism 1 will be used up after a period of use, and at this time, new corner protectors need to be replenished in the silo mechanism 1. However, the silo mechanism 1 in the present application adopts a split structure, that is, the transfer carrier 12 can be removed from the support member 11. In this way, in actual use, when the corner protectors in the silo mechanism 1 are used up, the operator can directly remove the transfer carrier 12 from the support member 11, and then place the transfer carrier 12 on the ground or on the operating table to quickly refill the corner protectors.

[0055] Since the transport carrier 12 can be removed from the support member 11, when filling the corner guard, the operator does not need to climb up to the strapping machine to fill the corner guard online. After the transport carrier 12 is removed, the corner guard can be filled quickly offline, thereby reducing the difficulty of the corner guard filling operation.

[0056] Typically, to increase the storage capacity of corner protectors, the corner protectors are stored at a higher height. Conventional technology requires filling the corner protectors to a certain height on the packaging line of the strapping machine to meet the storage capacity requirement. However, the silo mechanism 1 of the present application, when filling the corner protectors, removes the transfer carrier 12 and leaves the strapping machine to achieve offline filling of the corner protectors into the transfer carrier 12. Furthermore, depending on the overall height of the transfer carrier 12, the transfer carrier 12 can be laid flat or erected to fill the corner protectors, so as to meet the operator's requirements for convenient operation.

[0057] At the same time, for on-site use, in order to reduce downtime, the support component 11 can be equipped with two transfer carriers 12. In this way, when the corner guards in the transfer carrier 12 assembled on the support component 11 are used up, the empty transfer carrier 12 can be removed and directly replaced with the transfer carrier 12 filled with corner guards to improve the efficiency of filling the corner guards. The removed empty transfer carrier 12 can be filled with corner guards by the operator during the normal operation of the strapping machine to meet continuous production while providing the operator with more time to fill the corner guards, thereby improving the production rhythm while simplifying the operator's rhythm of filling the corner guards, which is more conducive to reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0058] In one embodiment, a supporting portion 122 is provided at the bottom of the transfer carrier 12, and the supporting portion 122 is configured to be selectively arranged at the bottom of the carrying portion 121 and to support the corner guard in the carrying portion 121 when located at the bottom of the supporting portion 122.

[0059] Specifically, since the transfer carrier 12 needs to be disassembled from the support component 11 to fill the corner guard offline during the process of filling the corner guard, after the corner guard is filled in the carrying portion 121, in the process of reassembling the transfer carrier 12 to the support component 11, in order to prevent the corner guard from falling off from the bottom of the supporting portion 122 due to gravity from the carrying portion 121, a supporting portion 122 can be provided at the bottom of the transfer carrier 12. The supporting portion 122 can be arranged at the bottom of the carrying portion 121 during the process of filling the corner guard and moving the transfer carrier 12 fully loaded with the corner guard to support the corner guard filled in the carrying portion 121, so as to meet the requirements of the transfer carrier 12 supporting the corner guard through the supporting portion 122 during the corner guard transportation process to prevent the corner guard from falling off from the bottom of the carrying portion 121.

[0060] In certain embodiments, in order to meet the requirement of arranging the supporting portion 122 at the bottom of the carrying portion 121 as needed, there are multiple installation methods between the supporting portion 122 and the transfer carrier 12.

[0061] For example, the supporting portion 122 is detachably provided on the transfer carrier 12. Specifically, the supporting portion 122 is detachably installed on the transfer carrier 12, that is, the transfer carrier 12 is removed from the supporting component 11, and the supporting portion 122 is assembled to the transfer carrier 12 and placed at the bottom of the supporting portion 122 during the process of offline filling of the corner guard. After the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the supporting component 11, the supporting portion 122 can be removed from the transfer carrier 12. There can be many entities in which the supporting portion 122 is detachably installed, such as the supporting portion 122 can be a detachable structure such as a latch, a plug plate, etc. to meet the requirements of use, which is not limited here.

[0062] For example, the supporting portion 122 can be movably provided on the transfer carrier 12. Specifically, the supporting portion 122 can be movable on the transfer carrier 12 to adjust the position of the supporting portion 122 as needed. The transfer carrier 12 is removed from the support component 11, and the supporting portion 122 is adjusted to the bottom of the supporting portion 122 during the process of offline filling of the corner guard. After the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the support component 11, the supporting portion 122 can be removed from the bottom of the supporting portion 122. The movable installation method of the supporting portion 122 can adopt conventional methods such as rotation or sliding, such as the supporting portion 122 can be a rotating pallet, or the supporting portion 122 can be a sliding lever structure to meet the requirements of use, which is not limited here.

[0063] In some embodiments, the bottom of the bearing portion 121 can support the corner guard through the supporting portion 122. For the top, in order to compress the corner guard located in the bearing portion 121 to ensure transportation reliability during the transfer process, the silo mechanism 1 further includes a pressing assembly 13, which is arranged on the top of the supporting member 11.

[0064] The pressing assembly 13 includes a mounting seat 131, a pressing rod 132 and a pressing member 133. The pressing rod 132 is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 131, and the pressing member 133 is disposed at the free end of the pressing rod 132.

[0065] The pressing member 133 is configured to press the corner protector between the pressing member 133 and the supporting portion 122 .

[0066] Specifically, when filling the support portion 121 with corner guards, the support portion 122 is first placed at the bottom of the support portion 121. The pressure rod 132 at the top of the transfer support 12 is tilted upward, causing the lower pressure member 133 to move out of the pressing position. After the support portion 121 is filled with a predetermined number of corner guards, the pressure rod 132 is rotated so that the lower pressure member 133 presses against the top corner guard. In this way, the corner guards in the support portion 121 are sandwiched between the support portion 122 and the lower pressure member 133.

[0067] To effectively hold the corner guard down, the pressing member 133 can be designed to match the top surface contour of the corner guard. Alternatively, the pressing member 133 can be provided with pressing blocks at both ends to press against the two sides of the corner guard. For example, the pressing assembly 13 can utilize conventional quick-action clamps to achieve its specific function, without limitation.

[0068] In another embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the silo mechanism further includes a pressing block 30 , which is slidably disposed in the transfer carrier 3 .

[0069] Specifically, the corner guards are loaded into the transfer carrier 3. During the transportation process of the transfer carrier 3 being erected, the pressing block 30 will press on the corner guards at the top so that the stacked corner guards are pressed together to improve the reliability during the transportation process.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present application, a mounting portion 112 is provided on the support component 11, and a mounting fitting portion 123 is provided on the transfer carrier 12. The transfer carrier 12 is mounted on the support component 11 through the mounting fitting portion 123 and the mounting portion 112.

[0071] Specifically, the transfer carrier 12 needs to be easily disassembled from the support member 11 and also needs to be easily reassembled to the support member 11. To this end, a mounting portion 112 is provided on the support member 11, and correspondingly, a mounting mating portion 123 is provided on the transfer carrier 12. During use, the mounting portion 112 is mated with the mounting mating portion 123 to achieve assembly of the transfer carrier 12 to the support member 11.

[0072] There are various structural methods for achieving quick disassembly and assembly of the mounting portion 112 and the mounting matching portion 123, for example: the mounting portion 112 is a hook arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a hook arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the hook is hung on the hook; or, the mounting portion 112 is a slot arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a snap-in protrusion arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the snap-in protrusion is snapped into the slot; or, the mounting portion 112 is a slot arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a snap-in protrusion arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the snap-in protrusion is snapped into the slot; or, the mounting portion 112 is a first lap plate arranged on the supporting component 11, and the mounting matching portion 123 is a second lap plate arranged on the transfer carrier 12, and the second lap plate is overlapped on the first lap plate.

[0073] In another embodiment of the present application, the support component 11 includes a support mounting plate 113 and a plurality of support partitions 114. The plurality of support partitions 114 are arranged side by side on the support mounting plate 113, and a mounting groove 110 is formed between two adjacent support partitions 114. The discharge port 111 is provided on the support mounting plate 113.

[0074] The transfer carrier 12 is detachably disposed in the mounting groove 110 , the driving component 21 is disposed on the support mounting plate 113 , and the pushing component 22 can reciprocate in the discharge port 111 .

[0075] Specifically, the support member 11 utilizes a support mounting plate 113 as its primary support member, and a corresponding discharge port 111 is provided on the support mounting plate 113. To facilitate accurate and reliable installation of the transfer carrier 12 on the support member 11, the support mounting plate 113 is further provided with a plurality of support partitions 114. The plurality of support partitions 114 are mounted and fixed on the support mounting plate 113 in a manner substantially perpendicular to the support mounting plate 113, with mounting grooves 110 formed between adjacent two support partitions 114.

[0076] When installing the transfer carrier 12 on the supporting component 11, the transfer carrier 12 will be placed in the installation groove 110 for positioning, and then limited by the connection between the installation part 112 and the installation matching part 123, so that the transfer carrier 12 can be assembled into place quickly and accurately.

[0077] In certain embodiments, the silo mechanism 1 may be configured with a plurality of discharge ports 111. Correspondingly, each discharge port 111 is configured with an independent transfer carrier 12 during use to meet the requirements of corner protection supply. For example, the support mounting plate 113 is provided with three support partitions 114 arranged side by side, and a mounting groove 110 is formed between each two adjacent support partitions 114 to meet the installation requirements of the corresponding transfer carrier 12. As for two adjacent transfer carriers 12, they can be further connected after being assembled to the support component 11. For example, a positioning seat 126 is provided on the transfer carrier 12, and a pin shaft hole is provided on the positioning seat 126. A positioning pin 127 is inserted between two adjacent positioning seats 126 for further positioning and installation connection.

[0078] In another embodiment of the present application, for the transfer carrier 12, the side of the carrier portion 121 formed therein can be a semi-enclosed structure or a fully-enclosed structure.

[0079] Specifically, the transfer carrier 12 includes a first support frame 124 and two first side plates 125 . The two first side plates 125 are arranged opposite to each other and set on the first support frame 124 . The bearing portion 121 is formed between the first support frame 124 and the two first side plates 125 .

[0080] Specifically, the first support frame 124 serves as a support for the transfer carrier 12. First side panels 125 are provided on both sides of the first support frame 124, forming a support portion 121 between the first side panels 125 and the first support frame 124. One side of the support portion 121 is an open structure, or a semi-enclosed structure. This facilitates quick insertion of the corner protector through the open structure.

[0081] Wherein, after the transfer carrier 12 is installed on the supporting component 11 , a feeding channel is formed between the carrying portion 121 and the supporting component 11 , and the feeding channel is configured to transport the corner guard in the carrying portion 121 .

[0082] Specifically, since one side of the bearing portion 121 is an open structure, after the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the support component 11, the open structure of the bearing portion 121 is covered by the support mounting plate 113 of the support component 11 to form a feeding channel for conveying the corner guard.

[0083] Alternatively, the transfer carrier 12 includes a second support frame and a panel, the cross section of the panel is a U-shaped structure, and both sides of the panel are respectively arranged on the second support frame; the bearing portion 121 is formed between the second support frame and the panel.

[0084] Specifically, the second support frame serves as a support for the transfer carrier 12. A panel is mounted on the second support frame, forming a carrier portion 121 between the panel and the second support frame. This fully encloses the carrier portion 121. This allows operators to insert the corner protector from the top of the carrier portion 121 to complete the installation.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, for the silo mechanism 1, the discharge port 111 configured therein can be arranged at the top to achieve top discharge; or, the discharge port 111 can be arranged at the bottom of the silo mechanism 1 to achieve bottom discharge.

[0086] Specifically, the discharge port 111 is arranged at the bottom of the support member 11 or the bottom of the transfer carrier 12, and the pushing mechanism 2 is arranged at the bottom of the support member 11. During use, the corner guards in the silo mechanism 1 can move toward the discharge port 111 at the bottom by their own gravity, and then the pushing mechanism 2 arranged at the bottom pushes the corner guards at the discharge port 111 out of the discharge port 111.

[0087] Alternatively, the discharge port 111 is arranged at the top of the support component 11 or the top of the transfer carrier 12, the pushing mechanism 2 is arranged at the top of the support component 11, and the support component 11 is further provided with a lifting component, and the lifting component is configured to lift the corner guard in the carrier 121 upward. During use, after the transfer carrier 12 is assembled to the support component 11, the lifting component provided on the support component 11 will support the corner guard at the bottom, and the lifting component can drive the corner guard to move toward the discharge port 111 above, and then the corner guard located at the discharge port 111 is pushed out of the discharge port 111 through the pushing mechanism 2 arranged at the bottom.

[0088] Among them, the lifting component can be set on the support component 11 so as to slide up and down. The driving method of the lifting component can be driven by a conventional motor (such as a motor drives a synchronous belt to drive the lifting component to slide on the support component 11 through the synchronous belt); or, the lifting component can use a counterweight component to drive it to rise, such as the configuration component in patent publication No. CN113443235A drives the sliding bearing member (equivalent to the lifting component) to drive the corner guard to move upward.

[0089] Based on the above-mentioned corner guard feeding device, the present application also provides a corner guard filling method, including removing the transfer carrier from the supporting component, filling the corner guard offline when the transfer carrier is away from the supporting component, and assembling the transfer carrier filled with the corner guard onto the supporting component.

[0090] Specifically: after the corner protectors in the transfer carrier 12 are used up, the transfer carrier 12 is removed from the support component 11, the corner protectors are installed into the transfer carrier 12, and then the transfer carrier 12 equipped with the corner protectors is reassembled onto the support component 11.

[0091] Specifically, the above-mentioned corner guard filling method can effectively reduce the difficulty of operation because when filling the corner guard, the transfer carrier 12 is removed from the corner guard feeding device installed on the strapping machine, and the corner guard is filled in an offline manner without leaving the support component 11. It solves the technical problem that the operator has to climb up to fill the corner guard, which makes the operation difficult and increases the safety risk of the operator, and improves the operational efficiency of filling the corner guard.

[0092] Preferably, the silo mechanism 1 is equipped with a plurality of transfer carriers 12. The corner guard filling method specifically comprises: pre-filling the disassembled transfer carriers with corner guards, and after the corner guards in the transfer carriers installed on the support component are used up, disassembling the empty transfer carriers from the support component, and assembling the fully loaded transfer carriers with corner guards on the support component.

[0093] Specifically, by configuring multiple transfer carriers 12, the disassembled transfer carriers 12 can be pre-filled with corner protectors. In this way, when the corner protectors in the transfer carriers 12 used on the bundling production line are used up, the unloaded transfer carriers 12 on the line can be disassembled and directly replaced with transfer carriers 12 fully loaded with corner protectors to improve the efficiency of filling the corner protectors.

[0094] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the utility model also provides a strapping machine, including a frame 100, and a baling head 200, a packaging chute 300 and a clamping module 400 arranged on the frame 100, the baling head 200 and the packaging chute 300 form a packaging area, the clamping module 400 includes a carrier frame 410, a telescopic mechanism 420 and a picking component 430, and also includes the above-mentioned corner guard feeding device, the corner guard feeding device is set on the frame 100 and arranged on one side of the clamping module 400, and the picking component 430 is configured to pick up the corner guard pushed out by the corner guard feeding device and place it on the goods to be packaged.

[0095] Specifically, the baler head 200 conveys the strapping tape around the goods through the packaging chute 300 and completes the process of bundling and packing the goods. A conventional baler can be used, which is not limited or elaborated here.

[0096] A corner guard feeding device is provided on the frame 100, and the corner guard is supplied through the corner guard feeding device. After the corner guard is pushed out, the telescopic mechanism 420 drives the picking component 430 to move to the corner guard and pick up the corner guard. Then, the telescopic mechanism 420 drives the corner guard to move to the goods to be packaged, so that the corner guard is attached to the goods and tightened to the surface of the goods through the strapping belt.

[0097] For the clamping module 400, conventional automatic corner guard clamping equipment can be used, wherein the telescopic mechanism 420 can use conventional components such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, and the picking component 430 can use conventional components such as a suction cup or a clamp, and there is no limitation here.

[0098] Furthermore, the corner guard feeding devices are respectively provided on both sides of the frame 100 , and the frame 100 is also provided with a clamping module 400 matching the corner guard feeding devices.

[0099] Another embodiment of the present application also provides a packaging production line, such as Figure 10 As shown, it includes a conveyor line 500 and the above-mentioned strapping machine;

[0100] The conveyor line is configured to convey the goods to be bundled to the strapping machine and to output the goods bundled by the strapping machine from the strapping machine.

[0101] Specifically, during actual use, the goods are transported and moved through the conveyor line 500. The goods on the conveyor line 500 are moved to the strapping machine for corner protection and strapping and packaging. After the strapping and packaging process is completed, the goods are transported to the next workstation through the conveyor line 500.

[0102] According to the requirements of the strapping process, a plurality of strapping machines may be distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 500 , and the requirements of corner protection and strapping and packaging may be met by different strapping machines.

[0103] Taking the case where three strapping machines are arranged on the conveyor line 500 as an example, corner guard feeding devices are arranged on both sides of each strapping machine to supply corner guards, and the downtime of the packaging production line of the present application is compared with that of the packaging production line in the prior art.

[0104] Conventional technology involves manually filling corner protectors on the packaging line. Filling a single side of the corner protector online takes about four minutes, requiring one strapping machine to stop for eight minutes, and three strapping machines to stop for 32 minutes. Typically, the amount of corner protectors filled is sufficient to meet the needs of one hour of continuous packaging production. This means one hour of continuous production and half an hour of downtime to fill the corner protectors.

[0105] In the packaging production line provided by this application, since the corner protectors are pre-filled offline, the time required to fill the corner protectors online on one side is about one minute, and the three strapping machines need to be stopped for six minutes. Thus, one hour of continuous production is required, and six minutes of downtime are required to fill the corner protectors. This effectively shortens downtime and improves packaging production efficiency.

[0106] The above time calculation is only the theoretical time required for the goods to be packaged and produced continuously, and is not limited here.

[0107] The utility model provides a corner guard feeding device, a strapping machine and a packaging production line. By setting the hopper mechanism to a split structure, the corner guards are filled in the bearing part of the transfer carrier, and the transfer carrier is set on the supporting component, so that the corner guards in the bearing part are supplied to the discharge port on the supporting component, and then the corner guards located at the discharge port are pushed out by the pushing mechanism to meet the requirement of supplying the corner guards outward; and when the corner guards need to be filled, the transfer carrier can be disassembled from the supporting component to realize the filling of the corner guards into the bearing part of the transfer carrier separately offline. On the one hand, the operator does not need to climb up to fill the corner guards online, and on the other hand, the disassembled transfer carrier can be laid flat to facilitate the operator to quickly fill the corner guards. In actual use, multiple transfer carriers can be configured for the same supporting component to realize the direct assembly of the transfer carrier full of corner guards onto the supporting component after the empty transfer carrier is dismantled, so as to maximize the operational efficiency of filling the corner guards.
