Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an automatic alignment of the ring chain arrangement card and ring conveyor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ring chain of the packaging box is a regular mechanism for receiving the material to be packaged. The ring chain has an arrangement card (a material receiving groove) arranged in a ring. When the material fills one arrangement card, the ring chain advances one grid, and the material continues to enter the next grid arrangement card. The general arrangement card is L-shaped or groove-shaped, and different arrangement cards need to be replaced according to different sizes of the material. If the appropriate size of the arrangement card is not replaced, the position of the material will be unstable due to the acceleration and deceleration of the ring chain during the running process. The unstable position of the material will cause the deviation of the subsequent mechanical hand to grasp the material, and the material cannot be reliably grasped. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide an automatic alignment of the ring chain arrangement card and ring conveyor, which has a simple structure and can stably ensure the positioning of the arranged material, especially for cylindrical materials, and is convenient for the subsequent mechanical hand to grasp the arranged material on the ring chain for packaging, boxing, arranging and other processing.

[0005] A ring chain arrangement card comprises a ring transmission member and material baffles arranged along the ring transmission member in sequence, wherein the material baffles comprise an inclined surface support plate and an L-shaped baffle, the inclined surface support plate is arranged on the outer back surface of the vertical surface section of the L-shaped baffle, and the inclined surface support plate of the front material baffle extends into the included angle of the L-shaped baffle of the adjacent rear material baffle.

[0006] Preferably, when the material baffle moves to the arc material receiving position of the ring transmission member, the distance between the adjacent baffle assemblies is pulled apart, the inclined surface support plate of the front material baffle and the L-shaped baffle of the adjacent rear material baffle form a bottomed groove-shaped space; when the material baffle moves to the straight line section of the ring transmission member, the distance between the adjacent baffle assemblies is reduced, the inclined surface support plate of the front material baffle extends into the included angle of the L-shaped baffle of the rear material baffle, and forms a V-shaped inclined surface with the vertical surface section of the L-shaped baffle of the rear material baffle, and the material is automatically aligned with the vertical surface section of the material baffle under the action of gravity.

[0007] Preferably, the ring transmission member is a transmission belt or a chain.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the L-shaped baffle of the material baffle is provided with a baffle fixing clamp, and the material baffle is connected with the ring transmission system through the baffle fixing clamp.

[0009] Preferably, the connection between the inclined surface support plate and the L-shaped baffle is a rigid connection, and the connection between the material baffle and the baffle fixing clamp is a rigid connection.

[0010] Preferably, the inclined supporting plate and the L-shaped baffle form a downward inclined angle.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of material baffles on the ring-shaped transmission member are distributed in multiple groups, and each group of material baffles is arranged continuously and equidistantly; or the plurality of material baffles on the ring-shaped transmission member are evenly distributed sequentially on the ring-shaped transmission member.

[0012] When the material baffles are distributed in multiple groups, the inclined supporting plate in each group is arranged obliquely downward on the outer back of the vertical section of the L-shaped baffle, and the inclined supporting plate of the front material baffle extends into the angle of the L-shaped baffle of the adjacent rear material baffle.

[0015] The present application has the following advantages:

[0016] In the present application, when the material baffle moves to the arc-shaped material receiving position of the ring-shaped transmission member, the distance between the adjacent baffle assemblies is expanded, so that the material can enter the arrangement card and be conveniently received; when the material baffle moves to the straight line segment of the ring-shaped transmission member, the distance between the adjacent baffle assemblies is reduced, the inclined supporting plate of the front material baffle extends into the angle of the L-shaped baffle of the rear material baffle, and the material is automatically aligned with the vertical section of the material baffle under the action of gravity.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A chain arrangement card, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes an annular transmission member and material baffles arranged in sequence along the annular transmission member, wherein the material baffle 101 includes an inclined support plate 201 and an L-shaped baffle 202, and the inclined support plate 201 is arranged obliquely downward on the outer back side of the vertical section of the L-shaped baffle 202, and the inclined support plate 201 of the front material baffle 101 extends into the angle of the L-shaped baffle 202 of the adjacent rear material baffle 101.

[0026] Furthermore, when the material baffle moves to the arc-shaped material receiving position of the annular transmission member, the distance between adjacent baffle assemblies is widened, and the inclined support plate 201 of the front material baffle 101 overlaps with the bottom of the L-shaped baffle 202 of the adjacent rear material baffle 101. The inclined support plate 201 of the front material baffle 101 and the L-shaped baffle 202 of the adjacent rear material baffle 101 form a bottom trough space for receiving materials and facilitating the entry of materials into the card; when the material baffle moves to the straight section of the annular transmission member, the distance between adjacent baffle assemblies is shortened, and the inclined support plate 201 of the front material baffle 101 further extends into the angle of the L-shaped baffle 202 of the rear material baffle 101, forming a V-shaped inclined surface with the vertical section of the L-shaped baffle 202 of the rear material baffle 101, and the material automatically aligns with the vertical section of the material baffle under the action of gravity; even if there are acceleration and deceleration actions during the operation of the ring chain, the material can maintain a stable position.

[0027] Furthermore, the arc-shaped material receiving position refers to the arc formed when the annular transmission member passes around the corresponding transmission wheel, and the material enters the ring chain arrangement card from the equipment of the previous process through the arc-shaped material receiving position.

[0028] Furthermore, the annular transmission member is a transmission belt 103 or a chain; that is, an annular transmission belt or an annular chain.

[0029] Furthermore, a baffle fixing clamp 102 is provided at the bottom of the L-shaped baffle 202 of the material baffle 101 , and the material baffle 101 is connected to the annular transmission system via the baffle fixing clamp 102 .

[0030] Furthermore, the connection between the inclined support plate 201 and the L-shaped baffle 202 is a rigid connection; the connection between the material baffle 101 and the baffle fixing clamp 102 is a rigid connection.

[0031] Furthermore, the inclined support plate 201 and the L-shaped baffle 202 form a downward inclined angle.

[0032] Furthermore, the multiple material baffles on the annular transmission member are distributed in multiple groups, and the material baffles in each group are arranged continuously and equidistantly; or the multiple material baffles on the annular transmission member are uniformly distributed on the annular transmission member in sequence.

[0033] When the material baffles are divided into multiple groups, the inclined support plate 201 in each group is set obliquely downward on the outer back side of the vertical section of the L-shaped baffle 202, and the inclined support plate 201 of the front material baffle 101 extends into the angle of the L-shaped baffle (202) of the adjacent rear material baffle 101; the material baffles in different groups are far apart and will not overlap each other, and the inclined support plate 201 of the material baffle in one group will not extend into the angle of the L-shaped baffle 202 of the material baffle in another group.

[0034] Furthermore, the included angle of the L-shaped baffle 202 is 80° to 110°.

[0035] Further, the optimal range of the included angle of the L-shaped baffle 202 is 85°~95°.

[0036] The included angle of the L-shaped baffle 202 in the optimal embodiment is 90°.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] On the basis of embodiment 1, a ring conveyor is further formed, and the performance of the limited embodiment 2 is more excellent.

[0039] A ring conveyor, comprising two transmission wheels and the ring chain arrangement card as described above, the two transmission wheels are connected through a ring transmission member, and one of the transmission wheels is connected with a driving motor; the driving motor drives the ring transmission member to rotate through the transmission wheel.

[0040] When the ring chain arc-shaped section receives the material, the baffle assembly is pulled apart by a certain distance, which facilitates the material to enter the card, and a groove-shaped space with a bottom is formed between the material baffles to receive the material. When the ring chain runs forward, a V-shaped slope is formed between the material baffles, and the material is automatically aligned with the vertical surface of the material baffle under the action of gravity. During the running process of the ring chain, the material can also maintain stable position.

[0041] The working principle of the application is as follows: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the application provides an arrangement card mechanism, which comprises a material baffle 101 and a baffle fixing card 102 connected to the material baffle.

[0042] The material baffle 101 comprises a slope supporting plate 201 and an L-shaped baffle 202. When the arrangement card is applied, a plurality of continuous and equidistant arrangement card assemblies need to be arranged on the ring chain.

[0043] When the ring chain arc-shaped section receives the material, the front arrangement card assembly and the rear arrangement card assembly will naturally open a certain angle, so that the distance between the arrangement card assemblies is increased, which facilitates the material to enter the space formed between the material baffles of the front arrangement card assembly and the rear arrangement card assembly from the vertical direction. At the same time, the slope supporting plate of the front arrangement card and the L-shaped baffle of the rear arrangement card can still maintain a partial overlapping structure to ensure holding the bottom of the material. The material baffle 101 is connected to the transmission belt 103 of the ring chain through the baffle fixing card 102, and the material baffle enters the straight section with the advancement of the transmission belt 103. The front material baffle and the rear material baffle form a V-shaped space, and the material automatically adheres to the L-shaped baffle of the rear material baffle under the action of gravity. The material always maintains the position close to the rear material baffle during the running process of the ring chain.
