Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of EPS foam board production, in particular to a centralized transfer device for EPS foam. Background Art

[0002] EPS foam board, also known as polystyrene foam board or EPS board, is short for expandable polystyrene. It is made from raw materials through pre-expansion, maturation, molding, drying, and cutting. It can be made into foam products of varying densities and shapes, as well as foam sheets of varying thicknesses. It is widely used in construction, insulation, packaging, refrigeration, daily necessities, industrial casting, and other fields. It can also be used in the manufacture of display cases, advertising signs, and toys.

[0003] There are many kinds of EPS foam products in the existing technology, and manufacturers usually need to produce multiple batches of products with different shapes according to the needs of the owners. For example, a mobile phone packaging product is divided into an upper cover A and a lower cover B. The two shapes are similar but different. During production, the upper cover A and the lower cover B may be dried in a drying oven at the same time. After drying, they are transported together, but they need to be packaged separately. For example, use a flexible plastic storage bag to store all the upper cover A of different batches together, and then use another flexible plastic storage bag to store all the lower cover B of different batches together. This operation has the following technical problems:

[0004] First, manual sorting is cumbersome. A conveyor belt might deliver dozens of upper cover parts A, followed by dozens of lower cover parts B, and then dozens more upper cover parts A. At this point, the upper cover parts A must be manually moved from the current batch into a storage bag. When the next batch of lower cover parts B arrives, they must be manually moved into another storage bag, and this cycle repeats. This results in high labor intensity and low efficiency.

[0005] Secondly, plastic storage bags are flexible and difficult to fix, and EPS foam needs to be packed in batches at intervals. Therefore, it is often necessary to tear the bag open before putting in EPS foam, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0006] Third, the plastic storage bags loaded with EPS foam need to be manually transported to the next work station, which is labor-intensive and has low work efficiency. Second, the manual transportation process may cause the plastic storage bags to become damaged, affecting the final product delivery. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a centralized transfer device for EPS foam which has a simple and compact structure, is convenient and flexible to operate, can reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A centralized transfer device for EPS foam, which is used to dock with an external conveyor belt and includes a vehicle box. Two parallel loading chambers are provided in the vehicle box on the left and right for placing two storage bags for storing different EPS foams. The top opening of the vehicle box is provided with a hinged flip-up slide plate for sealing the vehicle box or for docking with the external conveyor belt after flipping upward to form a sloped guide slide plate. A rotatable and adjustable guide plate assembly is provided on the inner side surface of the flip-up slide plate for guiding different EPS foams transmitted from the external conveyor belt to slide into corresponding storage bags for storage for centralized transfer.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0011] The deflector assembly includes a deflector main board, a rotating shaft and a fixing pin. The middle part of the deflector main board is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the flip-up skateboard through the rotating shaft to guide the EPS foam. The inner side of the flip-up skateboard is also provided with two positioning holes. The fixing pin is passed through the deflector main board and is used to be inserted into the corresponding positioning holes to fix the deflector main board after the deflector main board is rotated into place.

[0012] The deflector assembly also includes two deflector side plates, which are respectively installed on both sides of the inner side of the flip-up skateboard to prevent the EPS foam from sliding out of the car box.

[0013] The guide main plate and the two guide side plates are all made of elastic material, preferably rubber or silicone.

[0014] A vertical partition is provided in the vehicle box for dividing the vehicle box into two loading chambers, and hooks are provided on the partition and on the inner wall of the vehicle box for hanging and fixing storage bags.

[0015] The bottom of the front side plate of the vehicle box is installed on the vehicle box through a hinged part, and is used to be turned forward after the centralized transportation is in place so as to quickly take out the storage bags in the vehicle box.

[0016] Two or more locking parts are provided on the left and right side walls of the vehicle box for locking the front side panels.

[0017] Two or more protruding elastic seats are provided on the outer side surface of the front side plate, so that the elastic seats can contact the ground when the front side plate is flipped open.

[0018] A handle is provided on the flip-cover slide for lifting and flipping the flip-cover slide.

[0019] A plurality of universal wheels are provided at the bottom of the carriage, and a handle is provided on any side panel of the carriage for pushing the carriage for transportation.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0021] First, the centralized transfer device for EPS foam in this utility model, through the interaction of a specially designed carriage, flip-up slide, and deflector assembly, can automatically complete the centralized storage and transfer of two different EPS foams without stopping the transmission line.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0036] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "assemble," "connect," "connect," "fix," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a centralized transfer device for EPS foam, which is used to connect to an external conveyor belt 5. It includes a vehicle box 1, which is provided with two parallel loading chambers 11 on the left and right sides for accommodating two storage bags 3 containing different types of EPS foam. The top opening of the vehicle box 1 is provided with a hinged flip-up slide 2, which is used to seal the vehicle box 1 or to flip it upward to connect to the external conveyor belt 5 to form a sloped guide slide. The inner side of the flip-up slide 2 is provided with a rotatable and adjustable guide plate assembly 4, which is used to guide different types of EPS foam transferred from the external conveyor belt 5 to slide into the corresponding storage bags 3 for storage and centralized transfer. The specific implementation principle is as follows:

[0038] When centralized loading is required, the vehicle box 1 is first conveyed to the external conveyor belt 5. The flap slide 2 is then flipped upward and docked with the external conveyor belt 5, forming a sloped guide. At this point, two storage bags 3 containing different types of EPS foam are already placed in the two loading chambers 11 within the vehicle box 1. For example, the left bag 3 is for collectively storing the upper cover A, and the right bag 3 is for collectively storing the lower cover B.

[0039] The external conveyor belt 5 starts the conveying operation. When the upper covers A are conveyed in this batch, the guide plate assembly 4 is rotated and adjusted to tilt toward the storage bag 3 on the left. Then the guide plate assembly 4 intercepts the multiple upper covers A conveyed, and guides the upper covers A of this batch toward the storage bag 3 on the left. The upper covers A pass through the sloped slide of the flip slide 2 and fall into the storage bag 3 on the left below.

[0040] When the next batch of lower cover parts B is transmitted, just rotate and adjust the guide plate assembly 4 to tilt it toward the storage bag 3 on the right, and then make the guide plate assembly 4 intercept the multiple lower cover parts B that are transmitted, and guide the lower cover parts B of this batch to the direction of the storage bag 3 on the right, and fall into the storage bag 3 on the right below through the sloped slide of the flip slide 2.

[0041] When the next batch of upper covers A arrives, the deflector assembly 4 is rotated and adjusted again, repeating this cycle. Once all upper covers A and lower covers B are stored in place, the flip-up slide 2 is flipped back and the compartment 1 is sealed. The compartment 1 is then moved to the next workstation, allowing for the direct transfer of the two storage bags 3. This completes the centralized transfer of all upper covers A and lower covers B.

[0042] Through the above special scientific design, it has the following technical advantages:

[0043] First, the centralized transfer device for EPS foam of this utility model, through the interaction of a specially shaped carriage 1, a flip-up slide 2, and a deflector assembly 4, can automatically complete the centralized storage and transfer of two different EPS foams without stopping the transmission line. This greatly reduces labor intensity and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0044] Secondly, the centralized transfer device for EPS foam of the present invention is specially provided with two parallel loading chambers 11 for placing two storage bags 3 for storing different EPS foams. The storage bags 3 have good fixing effect and smooth loading, which further improves work efficiency.

[0045] Third, the utility model is a centralized transfer device for EPS foam. Plastic storage bags loaded with EPS foam are centrally transferred to the next work station through the vehicle box 1. This reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency. Secondly, it avoids damage to the plastic storage bags that may be caused during manual handling, which facilitates the delivery of the final product.

[0046] In this embodiment, the deflector assembly 4 includes a deflector main board 41, a rotating shaft 42 and a fixing pin 43. The middle part of the deflector main board 41 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the flip-up skateboard 2 through the rotating shaft 42 for guiding the EPS foam. The inner side of the flip-up skateboard 2 also has two positioning holes 21. The fixing pin 43 is passed through the deflector main board 41 and is used to be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 21 after the deflector main board 41 is rotated into place to fix the deflector main board 41.

[0047] The two positioning holes 21 are perfectly positioned at the two guide positions of the main guide plate 41. Once the main guide plate 41 is properly adjusted, the fixing pins 43 will align perfectly with the positioning holes 21. This secure positioning of the main guide plate 41 ensures that subsequent interception of multiple EPS foams will prevent them from moving and causing misalignment. In this embodiment, the fixing pins 43 are equipped with spring elements that extend through them. This prevents the pins 43 from falling out and facilitates their repositioning and quick insertion into the positioning holes 21.

[0048] In this embodiment, the deflector assembly 4 also includes two deflector side panels 44, which are mounted on either side of the inner side of the flip-up slide 2 to prevent the EPS foam from sliding out of the vehicle compartment 1. The deflector side panels 44 work in conjunction with the main deflector panel 41 to create a funnel effect, directing the EPS foam only into the storage bag 3 where it is intended.

[0049] In this embodiment, the main guide plate 41 and the two side guide plates 44 are made of elastic material, preferably rubber or silicone, so that the main guide plate 41 and the two side guide plates 44 will not damage the EPS foam when intercepting and guiding the water.

[0050] In this embodiment, a vertical partition 12 is provided within the vehicle compartment 1 to divide the compartment 1 into two loading chambers 11. Hooks 13 are provided on the partition 12 and on the inner wall of the compartment 1 for mounting and securing the storage bags 3. The partition 12 provides support for the two flexible storage bags 3 on the left and right sides, while the hooks 13 prevent the openings of the bags 3 from deforming during storage, facilitating multiple centralized storage operations.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bottom of the front side panel 14 of the vehicle box 1 is hingedly mounted to the vehicle box 1 and is designed to flip forward after the centralized transfer is completed, allowing for quick removal of the storage bags 3 within the vehicle box 1. If the front side panel 14 could not be flipped open, the storage bags 3 loaded with multiple EPS foams would need to be lifted upward, which is inconvenient and may damage the bags 3. By providing a front side panel 14 that flips forward, the storage bags 3 can be quickly and easily removed after the centralized transfer is completed, making the process more convenient and efficient.

[0052] In this embodiment, two or more locking members 15 are provided on the left and right side walls of the vehicle box 1 to lock the front side panels 14. The locking members 15 are conventional buckle-type locks, which prevent the front side panels 14 from opening during centralized storage and transportation, making them safer and more stable.

[0053] In this embodiment, two or more protruding elastic seats 16 are provided on the outer surface of the front side panel 14 so that the elastic seats 16 can contact the ground when the front side panel 14 is flipped open. This prevents the front side panel 14 from falling directly on the ground after being flipped open, thus protecting the front side panel 14 and ensuring cleanliness and hygiene.

[0054] In this embodiment, a handle 22 is provided on the flip-cover slide 2 for lifting and flipping the flip-cover slide 2 .

[0055] In this embodiment, a plurality of universal wheels 17 are provided at the bottom of the carriage 1, and a handle 18 is provided on any side panel of the carriage 1 for pushing the carriage 1 for transportation.

[0056] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the present invention, utilize the technical content disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent variations. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
