Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material receiving devices, in particular to an automatic material receiving device. Background Art
[0002] When producing skincare or cosmetic samples, two workers are required to manually transfer the samples from the conveyor belt into the transfer boxes before they are boxed. This requires two workers, so labor costs need to be reduced.
[0003] If, to reduce labor costs, only one worker is assigned to manually transfer samples from the conveyor belt into the turnover box, there is a risk that the samples on the conveyor belt will fall to the ground because the worker is not able to pick them up in time. Samples that fall to the ground are damaged, resulting in defective products. Furthermore, when samples fall to the ground, workers need to pick them up and put them into the turnover box, which reduces efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, how to reduce labor costs, reduce the risk of defective products, and improve efficiency is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes an automatic material receiving device, which can reduce labor costs, reduce the risk of producing defective products, and improve efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0007] An automatic material receiving device includes a transmission mechanism, a guide trough body is provided at the end of the transmission mechanism, the end of the guide trough body turns to the side of the transmission mechanism, the head end of the guide trough body is higher than the end of the guide trough body, and an open buffer container is provided at the end of the guide trough body.
[0008] Furthermore, the guide groove body includes a first groove wall and a second groove wall, the first groove wall is arranged on the outside of the second groove wall, the first groove wall is provided with a first buffer structure on the side facing the second groove wall, and the second groove wall is provided with a second buffer structure on the side facing the first groove wall.
[0009] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided on the end side of the transmission mechanism, the end of the guide plate faces the second groove wall, a contraction channel is provided between the end of the guide plate and the second groove wall, and the end of the contraction channel faces the first buffer structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the second buffer structure is provided at the rear side of the first buffer structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the first buffer structure is provided with a first arcuate surface on a side away from the first groove wall, and the second buffer structure is provided with a second arcuate surface on a side away from the second groove wall.
[0012] Furthermore, the open buffer container includes a material receiving platform and a surrounding plate, the surrounding plate is arranged around the material receiving platform, and a avoidance hole is provided on one side of the surrounding plate, and the end of the guide groove body is arranged in the avoidance hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the avoidance hole is provided in the middle of one side of the enclosure.
[0014] Furthermore, an arc-shaped diverter plate is provided inside the material receiving platform, and the convex surface of the arc-shaped diverter plate faces the end of the guide trough body.
[0015] Furthermore, both ends of the arc-shaped diverter plate are provided with a bending plate, and the bending plate is connected to the side of the enclosure away from the avoidance hole through an adjustment component.
[0016] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a screw and a nut. The enclosure is provided with a long hole on the side away from the avoidance hole, and a screw is provided in the long hole. One end of the screw is connected to the bending plate, and a nut is threadedly connected to the screw. The enclosure is clamped between the bending plate and the nut on the side with the long hole.
[0017] The utility model has the beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. Because the head end of the guide trough is higher than the end of the guide trough, when the sample enters the guide trough from the end of the transmission mechanism, the sample can slide down into the open buffer container under the action of its own gravity, thereby realizing automatic reception of the sample by the open buffer container.
[0019] Because there is an open buffer container to automatically receive the samples, the samples will not fall to the ground because the workers do not have time to take them away, which reduces the risk of sample damage and the risk of producing defective products.
[0020] Because the samples will not fall to the ground, there is no need for workers to manually pick up the samples that have fallen to the ground and put them into the turnover box, which avoids the reduction of efficiency due to picking up the samples on the ground and helps to improve efficiency.
[0021] Only one worker is required to place the samples received in the open buffer container into the turnover box and then send it to the cartoning process. There is no need to arrange two workers to do the job, which helps to reduce labor costs.
[0022] 2. Because the end of the guide trough turns toward the side of the transmission structure, the open buffer container located at the end of the guide trough is also located on the side of the transmission mechanism. At this time, the open buffer container will not occupy the rear space of the transmission mechanism, which is conducive to shortening the production line length and improving space utilization.
[0023] 3. The provision of the first buffer structure and the second buffer structure can reduce the collision strength between the sample and the guide groove body, improve the protection effect on the sample, and help to ensure the quality of the sample.
[0024] 4. A contraction channel is formed by providing a guide plate. The end of the contraction channel faces the first buffer structure, and the second buffer structure is located behind the first buffer structure. This allows the samples on the transmission mechanism to enter the guide trough in a single row through the guidance of the contraction channel. Once the samples enter the guide trough, they are first cushioned by the first buffer structure and then by the second buffer structure. This arrangement allows the positions of the first and second buffer structures to be arranged according to the collision pattern of the samples. There is no need to fully lay the first buffer structure on the first trough wall, nor is there a need to fully lay the second buffer structure on the second trough wall. This helps save consumables of the first and second buffer structures and helps save costs.
[0025] 5. The setting of the first curved surface and the second curved surface can avoid the first buffer structure and the second buffer structure from having sharp corners on the side that collides with the sample, thereby avoiding the sharp corners from being torn under the action of frequent collisions, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the first buffer structure and the second buffer structure, and is beneficial to reducing the replacement frequency and saving maintenance costs.
[0026] 6. By setting up an arc-shaped diverter plate in the material receiving platform, when small samples continuously enter the material receiving platform, the small samples can be diverted by the arc-shaped diverter plate. The diverted small samples are dispersed on both sides of the arc-shaped diverter plate to avoid the small samples piling up in the middle of the material receiving platform. The dispersed small samples can make full use of the storage space of the material receiving platform, which is conducive to using the material receiving platform to undertake a larger number of small samples and is conducive to improving the storage space utilization rate of the material receiving platform.
[0027] 7. The curvature of the curved manifold affects the dispersion range of the samples. The greater the curvature of the curved manifold, the more samples can be dispersed to locations farther from the curved manifold, expanding the dispersion range. The less curvature of the curved manifold, the smaller the dispersion range. Therefore, by adjusting the curvature of the curved manifold, the dispersion range of the samples can be adjusted, allowing for adjustable space utilization on the receiving platform and improving operational flexibility.
[0028] 8. The adjustment component for adjusting the curvature of the arc-shaped manifold has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which is conducive to improving the adjustment efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] To better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is worth noting that in the description of the present invention, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," and the like, indicating positions or location relationships, are based on the positions or location relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0043] Example 1:
[0044] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6An automatic material receiving device includes a conveyor mechanism 1 for conveying small samples 4, which are small-volume bottled cosmetics or skincare products often used for consumer trials. A guide trough 2 is mounted at the end of the conveyor mechanism 1. The end of the guide trough 2 curves toward the side of the conveyor mechanism 1, and the head end of the guide trough 2 is higher than the end end of the guide trough 2. An open buffer container 3 is mounted at the end of the guide trough 2.
[0045] Because the head end of the guide groove body 2 is higher than the end of the guide groove body 2, when the sample 4 enters the guide groove body 2 from the end of the transmission mechanism 1, the sample 4 can slide downward into the open buffer container 3 under the action of its own gravity, thereby realizing the automatic reception of the sample 4 by the open buffer container 3.
[0046] First, because there is an open buffer container 3 to automatically receive the sample 4, the sample 4 will not fall to the ground because the worker does not have time to take it away, which reduces the risk of damage to the sample 4 and the risk of producing defective products.
[0047] Second, because the sample 4 will not fall to the ground, there is no need for workers to manually pick up the sample 4 that has fallen to the ground and put it into the turnover box, which avoids reducing efficiency due to picking up the sample 4 on the ground, which is conducive to improving efficiency.
[0048] Third, only one worker is required to place the small samples 4 received in the open buffer container 3 into the turnover box and then send it to the cartoning process. There is no need to arrange two workers to do the operation, which is conducive to reducing labor costs.
[0049] In addition, because the end of the guide trough body 2 turns toward the side of the transmission structure 1, the open buffer container 3 provided at the end of the guide trough body 2 is also located on the side of the transmission mechanism 1. At this time, the open buffer container 3 will not occupy the rear space of the transmission mechanism 1, which is conducive to shortening the production line length and improving space utilization.
[0050] Example 2:
[0051] In this embodiment 2, the transmission mechanism 1 can adopt transmission equipment such as a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor. This embodiment 2 does not limit this. The transmission mechanism 1 only needs to realize the transmission operation of the sample 4.
[0052] In this embodiment 2, the guide trough body 2 is fixedly installed on the end of the transmission mechanism 1. For example, when a belt conveyor is used as the transmission mechanism 1, the guide trough body 2 is welded and fixed on the end of the body of the belt conveyor.
[0053] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5In this embodiment 2, the guide groove body 2 includes a first groove wall 21 and a second groove wall 22. The first groove wall 21 is arranged on the outer side of the second groove wall 22. The first groove wall 21 is fixedly installed with a first buffer structure 211 on the side facing the second groove wall 22, and the second groove wall 22 is fixedly installed with a second buffer structure 221 on the side facing the first groove wall 21.
[0054] In this embodiment 2, the first buffer structure 211 and the second buffer structure 221 can both be sponge pads or rubber pads. For example, when sponge pads are used as the first buffer structure 211 and the second buffer structure 221, the sponge pads can be glued and fixed to the first groove wall 21 and the second groove wall 22.
[0055] After the sample 4 enters the guide trough 2 from the end of the transmission mechanism 1, it first collides with the first buffer structure 211 of the first trough wall 21. The first buffer structure 211 provides a first buffer for the sample 4. The sample 4 is then rebounded by the first buffer structure 211 onto the second buffer structure 221, providing a second buffer for the sample 4. The sample 4 then slides from the end of the guide trough 2 into the open buffer container 3. The provision of the first buffer structure 211 and the second buffer structure 221 can reduce the collision strength between the sample 4 and the guide trough 2, improve the protection of the sample 4, and help ensure the quality of the sample 4.
[0056] Furthermore, when the transmission mechanism 1 transmits two or more samples 4 side by side, in order to guide the samples 4 into the guide slot 2 in a single row. Figure 5 A guide plate 11 is welded and fixed to the side of the end of the transmission mechanism 1. The end of the guide plate 11 faces the second slot wall 22. A contraction channel is provided between the end of the guide plate 11 and the second slot wall 22. The contraction channel only allows a single row of samples 4 to enter the guide slot 2. Furthermore, the end of the contraction channel faces the first buffer structure 211, so that the samples 4 entering the guide slot 2 in a single row directly receive the buffering effect of the first buffer structure 211. In addition, the second buffer structure 221 is provided on the rear side of the first buffer structure 211, so that the samples 4 can be buffered by the second buffer structure 221 after passing through the first buffer structure 211.
[0057] By providing the guide plate 11 to form a contraction channel, the end of the contraction channel faces the first buffer structure 211, and the second buffer structure 221 is provided behind the first buffer structure 211, which allows the small samples 4 on the transmission mechanism 1 to enter the guide trough 2 in a single row through the guidance of the contraction channel. Moreover, once the small samples 4 enter the guide trough 2, the small samples 4 can first be buffered by the first buffer structure 211 and then by the second buffer structure 221. With such a configuration, the positions of the first buffer structure 211 and the second buffer structure 221 can be arranged according to the collision pattern of the small samples 4. There is no need to fully lay the first buffer structure 211 on the first trough wall 21, nor is there any need to fully lay the second buffer structure 221 on the second trough wall 22. This is conducive to saving consumables of the first buffer structure 211 and the second buffer structure 221, and is conducive to saving costs.
[0058] See also Figure 2 In this second embodiment, the first buffer structure 211 has a first curved surface on the side facing away from the first groove wall 21, and the second buffer structure 221 has a second curved surface on the side facing away from the second groove wall 22. The provision of the first curved surface and the second curved surface prevents sharp corners from forming on the side of the first and second buffer structures 211 and 221 that collides with the sample 4, thereby preventing the corners from tearing due to frequent collisions. This helps extend the service life of the first and second buffer structures 211 and 221, reduces replacement frequency, and saves maintenance costs.
[0059] In this embodiment 2, see Figure 2 The open buffer container 3 includes a receiving platform 31 and a panel 32. The panel 32 surrounds the receiving platform 31 and is welded to the receiving platform 31. A safety hole 321 is provided on one side of the panel 32, and the end of the guide trough 2 is welded to the wall of the safety hole 321. After the sample 4 slides out of the guide trough 2, it can slide into the receiving platform 31. The panel 32 around the receiving platform 31 prevents the sample 4 from sliding off, thus caching the sample 4.
[0060] For further information, see Figure 2 In the present embodiment 2, the avoidance hole 321 is provided in the middle of one side of the enclosure 32. Such a setting allows the sample 4 to slide out of the guide trough 2 and then slide into the middle of the material receiving platform 31.
[0061] Example 3:
[0062] This embodiment 3 is further improved on the basis of embodiment 2:
[0063] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment 3, an arc-shaped diverter plate 311 is provided inside the material receiving platform 31, and the convex surface of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311 faces the end of the guide trough body 2. Bending plates 312 are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311, and the bending plates 312 and the arc-shaped diverter plate 311 are an integrated structure.
[0064] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The bent plate 312 is connected to the side of the enclosure 32 facing away from the avoidance hole 321 through an adjustment assembly. Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes a screw 313 and a nut 314. The enclosure 32 has a long hole 322 on the side facing away from the avoidance hole 321. The screw 313 is located in the long hole 322. One end of the screw 313 is welded to the bent plate 312. The nut 314 is threadedly connected to the screw 313. The enclosure 32 is sandwiched between the bent plate 312 and the nut 314 on the side with the long hole 322.
[0065] When the small sample 4 enters the material receiving platform 31 from the end of the transmission mechanism 1 through the guide trough 2, the small sample 4 hits the convex surface of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311, and the small sample 4 slides along the convex surface of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311 to the side of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311. When the small sample 4 continuously enters the material receiving platform 31, the small sample 4 can be diverted by the arc-shaped diverter plate 311. The diverted small sample 4 is dispersed on both sides of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311, avoiding the small sample 4 from piling up in the middle of the material receiving platform 31. The dispersed small sample 4 can make full use of the storage space of the material receiving platform 31, which is conducive to using the material receiving platform 31 to receive a larger number of small samples 4 and improving the storage space utilization rate of the material receiving platform 31.
[0066] The degree of curvature of the curved manifold 311 affects the dispersion range of the small samples 4. A greater curvature of the curved manifold 311 allows the small samples 4 to be dispersed to locations farther from the curved manifold 311, thereby expanding the dispersion range of the small samples 4. A smaller curvature of the curved manifold 311 reduces the dispersion range of the small samples 4 by the curved manifold 311. Thus, by adjusting the curvature of the curved manifold 311, the dispersion range of the small samples 4 can be adjusted, allowing for adjustable space utilization of the material receiving platform 31 and improving operational flexibility.
[0067] When adjusting the curvature of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311, it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the bending plates 312 at both ends of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311. The smaller the spacing between the two bending plates 312, the greater the curvature of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311; the larger the spacing between the two bending plates 312, the smaller the curvature of the arc-shaped diverter plate 311.
[0068] For example, when reducing the spacing between the two bending plates 312: first, screw the nut 314 outward to increase the spacing between the nut 314 and the bending plate 312. At this time, the side of the enclosure 32 with the long hole 322 is no longer clamped by the nut 314 and the bending plate 312, and the screw 313 can move in the long hole 322; then, move the screw 313 in the two long holes 322 to reduce the spacing between the two screws 313, and the two screws 313 drive the two bending plates 312 closer to each other, thereby increasing the degree of bending of the arc diverter plate 311; finally, screw the nut 314 in the opposite direction to reduce the spacing between the nut 314 and the bending plate 312, so that the enclosure 32 is clamped by the nut 314 and the bending plate 312 again. At this time, the screw 313 cannot move in the long hole 322, thereby stabilizing the current degree of bending of the arc diverter plate 311.
[0069] Through the above adjustment process, it can be seen that the adjustment component has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which is conducive to improving the adjustment efficiency.
[0070] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
