Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging equipment, in particular to a grouping and sorting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve production efficiency, more and more automated equipment is being introduced in the industrial production process of products. As one of the indispensable equipment in the packaging industry, packaging machines are mainly used to group and package products. The packaged products, such as bottles and cans, are easy to transport and store, and can also play a certain protective role for bottles and cans with high appearance requirements.

[0003] In order to achieve this goal, it is first necessary to group and organize several products or semi-finished products of the same specifications. Generally, a bottle-driving rod with a circulating conveyor chain is set above the conveyor line, such as a bottle-driving mechanism with announcement number CN212448244U. The two chains are driven by two driving wheels, and the chains drive the bottle-driving assembly to circulate inside the frame. When the bottles in the bottle conveying channel are conveyed to the transition plate, the limit blocks of the bottle-driving assembly come into contact with the bottles. According to the arrangement of the bottles, the limit blocks will rest on the corresponding bottles or make the bottles stuck in the gap between the two limit blocks, and then push the bottles to move on the transition plate, so that the bottles are gradually approached to each other, achieving a compact arrangement effect to meet the requirements of subsequent packaging. In the actual production process, it is necessary to set a blocking mechanism in front of the bottle-driving mechanism. When a group of products enters the bottle-driving mechanism, the first product of the next group is blocked. The next group of products will be sent in for sorting after the group of products on the bottle-driving mechanism is completed. The actual efficiency is low in use, and when changing product specifications and combinations, the position of the bottle-driving rod needs to be adjusted, which is inconvenient to adjust. There is room for improvement in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a grouping and sorting mechanism includes a packaging machine 1 body and a sorting mechanism 2 disposed at the front end of the packaging machine 1. The sorting mechanism 2 and the packaging machine 1 are respectively provided with a first conveyor line 3 and a second conveyor line 4 for conveying products. The speed of the second conveyor line 4 is greater than that of the first conveyor line 3. The sorting mechanism 2 is provided with a sorting rack 5 for sorting and conveying products along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 3. The packaging machine 1 is provided with a packaging mechanism 6 for further processing of the grouped products, and a grouping mechanism 7 located between the sorting rack 5 and the packaging mechanism 6 for grouping the products on the first conveyor line 3. The grouping mechanism 7 is provided and arranged opposite to each other. Grouping and packaging are separated. The products are grouped in advance by the grouping mechanism 7 before packaging. The overall moving speed of the products is then controlled by adjusting the first conveyor line 3 and the second conveyor line 4 so that the first conveyor line 3 is always in a conveying and feeding state. The overall product conveying process is smoother, effectively improving the efficiency of grouping and packaging.

[0022] A connecting plate 14 for supporting the movement of products is provided between the first conveyor line 3 and the second conveyor line 4. A plurality of partitions 15 are fixedly provided in the column rack 5, and the distance between two adjacent partitions 15 is greater than the diameter of the product. An extension plate 16 extending toward the second conveyor line 4 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the partition 15 located near one end of the first conveyor line 3. The extension plate 16 is located above the second conveyor line 4 and has a certain gap between it and the second conveyor line 4. The extension plate 16 is located at the lower end of the partition 15 facing the second conveyor line 4. The extension plate 16 allows the products to continue to move in columns after entering the second conveyor line 4, which facilitates grouping by the grouping mechanism 7.

[0023] The grouping mechanism 7 includes a grouping rod 11 for blocking the above-mentioned products to achieve grouping and a driving mechanism for driving the grouping rod to move. The driving mechanism includes a fixed seat 8, on which is movably provided a movable seat 9 capable of moving along the length direction of the above-mentioned second conveyor line 4. The movable seat 9 is movably provided with a lifting frame 10 capable of moving in the vertical direction. The above-mentioned grouping rod 11 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the lifting frame 10. The lifting frame 10 and the movable seat 9 are moved by a cross-shaped circulating conveyor belt 12 provided on the fixed seat 8. Two drive motors 13 are fixedly provided on the fixed seat 8 for driving the above-mentioned cross-shaped circulating conveyor belt 12 and driving the movable seat 9 and the lifting frame 10 to move. The grouping mechanism 7 using this method can adapt to products of different specifications and is easy to adjust. Due to the speed difference between the first conveyor line 3 and the second conveyor line 4, when the products enter the second conveyor line 4 from the first conveyor line 3, due to the faster speed of the second conveyor line 4, a certain gap is left between adjacent products, and at the same time, the moving speed of one of the grouping rods 11 is the same as the speed of the second conveyor line 4, and the grouping rod 11 moves synchronously with the first product in a group of products. After the grouping rod 11 moves a certain distance, the speed of the grouping rod 11 is reduced to block the first product in a group of products. At the same time, the grouping rod 11 on the second grouping mechanism 7 falls and moves with the subsequent products. The first group of products is stacked into groups under the obstruction of the slower grouping rod 11. The grouping rod 11 moves upward and then detaches. The entire group of products moves with the second conveyor line 4 to the packaging mechanism 6 for packaging. The two grouping mechanisms 7 move in a cycle in turn to complete the grouping, so that the products are always in a moving state during the conveying process. The first conveyor line 3 does not need to stop and wait, the material flow is smoother, and the grouping is faster.

[0024] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising from these variations or modifications to the specification remain within the scope of protection of this utility model.
