Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of disorderly feeding of packaging machines, in particular to a disorderly feeding vibration plate used for packaging machines. Background Art

[0002] In automated packaging systems, the design and application of random loading vibration plates are of great significance. Random loading vibration plates use vibration to transform materials from a disordered pile state into an orderly arrangement state, preparing them for subsequent automated processing.

[0003] At present, cylindrical workpieces with different shapes at the front and back ends, such as batteries, often need to be connected into a group. If the polarity direction of the batteries is not uniform, they cannot be connected correctly because the positive and negative poles of the batteries will be misaligned, resulting in incorrect connection and even short circuit or unstable battery output. The inconsistent polarity of the batteries will cause a waste of packaging space. Because the placement direction of each battery is inconsistent, it is easy to make it difficult to seal and fix it, which will increase storage and transportation costs and affect logistics efficiency. Extra time and labor are spent on adjusting the orientation of the batteries, or checking and correcting them one by one during the packaging process, which will reduce the efficiency of the production line and increase the need for manual intervention, thereby affecting the overall production speed and cost, making the equipment less practical.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , a disorderly feeding vibration plate for a packaging machine, including a base, a hopper 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the base through a connecting rod 11, a vibration motor 13 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the hopper 1, a chute 2 is provided on the top of the base, and the chute 2 is located below the hopper 1. A plurality of insulating rubber rollers 12 are fixedly installed inside the hopper 1, and the plurality of rubber rollers 12 are evenly distributed in the hopper 1. A plurality of leakage holes 14 are provided through the bottom of the hopper 1, and the diameter of the leakage holes 14 corresponds to the diameter of the battery. The rubber rollers 12 in the hopper 1 can prevent the internal batteries from stacking together, and the rubber rollers 12 are insulated to prevent the battery power from being discharged. Under the vibration of the vibration motor 13, the battery enters the leakage hole 14 vertically and falls from the leakage hole 14 to the chute 2.

[0025] A battery clamp assembly is provided at one end of the chute 2 away from the hopper 1, and the battery clamp assembly includes a first battery clamp 43 and a second battery clamp 44. The first battery clamp 43 and the second battery clamp 44 are connected together by a conversion assembly. The conversion assembly includes two rotating rods 45. The first battery clamp 43 and the second battery clamp 44 are located between the two rotating rods 45. The two ends of the second battery clamp 44 are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods 45 respectively. The top and bottom of the first battery clamp 43 are respectively provided with a clamping mechanism 42, and are fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping mechanism 42. The first battery clamp 43 and the second battery clamp 44 are made of soft material. After the battery enters the first battery clamp 43, the two clamping mechanisms 42 are started, causing the first battery clamp 43 to deform, thereby fixing the battery to prevent the battery from slipping out of the inside when the first battery clamp 43 follows the movement of the rotating rod 45. The two clamping mechanisms 42 are connected to the first battery clamp 43. The two rotating rings 41 are fixedly connected together, and the two rotating rings 41 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first battery clamp 43. The two rotating rings 41 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating rods 45, so that the first battery clamp 43 always maintains a vertical state, thereby enhancing the stability of the internal battery and preventing the first battery clamp 43 from tilting and causing the battery to fall. A driving motor 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and the output end of the driving motor 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 45 on the corresponding side. After the driving motor 4 is started, the rotating rod 45 fixedly connected to its output end rotates, thereby converting the positions of the first battery clamp 43 and the second battery clamp 44. The first battery clamp 43 collects the batteries with the negative pole facing the battery clamp assembly, and the second battery clamp 44 collects the batteries with the positive pole facing the battery clamp assembly after the position conversion with the first battery clamp 43. The internal structure of the second battery clamp 44 is different from that of the first battery clamp 43 (such as Figure 6As shown), the batteries in the second battery clip 44 will not slide off before reaching the packaging area.

[0026] The chute 2 is set at an angle, and the end close to the hopper 1 is the higher end. A speed bump 21 is provided on the chute 2. The speed bump 21 is used to reduce the speed of the battery on the chute 2. A support frame 3 is provided between the hopper 1 and the battery clamp assembly. A connecting frame 31 is fixedly installed on the base. The support frame 3 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 31. A control center 32 is provided on the top of the support frame 3. The support frame 3 is located above the chute 2. A plurality of baffles 35 are rotatably connected to the support frame 3. A driving assembly is respectively provided above the plurality of baffles 35. The driving assembly is used to drive the baffles 35 to rotate. The driving assembly includes an electrically controlled slider 33 and a gear 34. A groove is provided on the support frame 3. The electrically controlled slider 33 is slidably connected to the groove. The gear 34 is fixedly connected to the baffle 35. The electrically controlled slider 33 is located above the gear 34. The side of the electric control slider 33 close to the gear 34 is set as a rack structure and meshes with the gear 34. A pressure sensor is set inside the electric control slider 33. A plurality of spotlights 37 are fixedly installed on the support frame 3. The plurality of spotlights 37 correspond to a plurality of baffles 35 respectively. A camera 36 is fixedly installed on the support frame 3. The camera 36 is located on the side of the spotlight 37 close to the baffle 35. The spotlight 37 and the camera 36 are used to determine the positive and negative poles of the battery. When a battery with a negative pole facing the camera 36 is detected, the corresponding baffle 35 is driven to open, and the battery slides to the first battery clamp 43 without the obstruction of the baffle 35. After the first battery clamp 43 is finished, the position of the second battery clamp 44 is switched with the first battery clamp 43, and the baffle 35 corresponding to the battery with the positive pole facing the camera 36 is opened, and the battery slides into the second battery clamp 44.

[0027] A conveying mechanism is provided on the base, and the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt 5 provided on the top of the base. The conveyor belt 5 is located on the side of the battery clamp assembly away from the slide 2. A plastic package 6 is provided on the top of the conveyor belt 5. The first battery clamp 43 and the second battery clamp 44 send the batteries to the plastic package 6 for packaging after collection. The negative and positive poles of the batteries are identified by the camera 36 and the spotlight 37, and they are separately guided to the corresponding battery clamps, so that the positive and negative poles of all batteries can be packaged in the same direction, avoiding short circuits, damage or non-standard products caused by inconsistent battery polarity, and automatically adjusting the position of the batteries to further improve production efficiency and consistency. By ensuring that the polarity of all batteries is consistent and the direction is the same, the final packaging effect will be neater and more standardized, which not only helps product quality control, but also facilitates subsequent storage, transportation and use. Neatly arranged batteries are easier to stack and classify, reducing losses and space waste caused by improper packaging, thereby enhancing the practicality of the equipment.

[0028] In the present invention, when packaging is required, the vibration motor 13 is first started and the batteries are introduced into the hopper 1. The rubber roller 12 in the hopper 1 can prevent the batteries inside from stacking together and insulate to prevent the battery power from being discharged. Under the vibration of the vibration motor 13, the batteries fall vertically into the leakage hole 14 and are arranged on the chute 2. Under the combined action of the vibration of the vibration motor 13 and the chute 2, the batteries will slide toward the conveyor belt 5 and stop after contacting the baffle 35.

[0029] There is a pressure sensor inside the electric control slider 33, and the electric control slider 33 is engaged with the gear 34. When the battery touches the baffle 35, the baffle 35 is subjected to pressure, causing the electric control slider 33 to sense the pressure. The control center 32 therefore receives an electrical signal to control the vibration motor 13 to pause. Due to the high friction of the material of the speed bump 21, the battery located above the speed bump 21 cannot move after the vibration stops, thereby separating the batteries that are tightly attached together. After the battery contacts the baffle 35, the spotlight 37 at the corresponding position will light up, and the camera 36 will shoot and observe the reflected light. Since the positive and negative poles of the battery have different shapes, the positive pole has a circular protrusion, and the negative pole is a relatively flat surface, the light of the spotlight 37 will produce reflections of different shapes when it shines on the battery surface, which are recognized by the camera 36. After the camera 36 identifies the negative pole of the battery, it will transmit an electrical signal to the control center 32 and control the electric control slider 33 of the corresponding groove to move. The driving gear 34 drives the baffle 35 to rotate. At this time, the identified battery will continue to slide along the slide groove 2 into the first battery clamp 43. After the clamping mechanism 42 is started, it squeezes the first battery clamp 43 so that the first battery clamp 43 completely clamps the internal battery and rotates under the drive of the rotating rod 45. The existence of the rotating ring 41 ensures that the angle between the first battery clamp 43 and the ground does not change. After the rotation is completed, the first battery clamp 43 comes to the side close to the plastic package 6, and the second battery clamp 44 just rotates to the side close to the slide groove 2. The first battery clamp 43 is released, and the battery slides along the first battery clamp 43 onto the plastic package 6 to complete the placement of this part of the battery.

[0030] After the driving motor 4 controls the rotating rod 45 to rotate 180°, the control center 32 receives a new electrical signal to control the baffle 35 corresponding to the remaining batteries to rotate, and the remaining batteries will slide along the slide 2 into the second battery clamp 44. The driving motor 4 controls the rotating rod 45 to rotate 180° clockwise along the axis of the output end of the driving motor 4. The second battery clamp 44 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 45. During the rotation of the second battery clamp 44 along the axis of the output end of the driving motor 4, the batteries that slide in will rotate 180° together and finally slide onto the plastic package 6, completing the reversal and placement of the remaining batteries. The control center 32 controls the conveyor belt 5 to transport the plastic package 6 away and bring the next plastic package 6. The device is reset to place the next round of batteries.

[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
