Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper material feeding, specifically to a booklet storage and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging machines are equipped with instruction manual feeders. After materials such as medicine bottles and blister packs are placed into trays, they pass through the instruction manual feeder, which folds the instruction manuals into small pieces and drops them onto the trays. Then, the boxes are packed. Currently, when loading instruction manuals, the feeders stack them horizontally in a long storage bin. Once the storage bin is empty, manual refilling is required. With the upgrading of equipment and the increasing speed of packaging machines, workers need to constantly monitor the status of the instruction manuals in the feeding bin and add instruction manuals as needed. This long refilling interval leads to high labor intensity for workers, and there is a risk of missing instruction manuals if workers leave their posts. Therefore, the existing instruction manual feeders can no longer meet the production requirements of high-speed packaging machines. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a booklet storage and conveying device with a large conveying capacity and automatic feeding, thereby greatly extending the booklet feeding interval and avoiding the risk of missing booklets, in order to meet the needs of high-speed packaging machines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a booklet storage and conveying device, including a booklet feeding platform, a conveying platform, and a unloading mechanism, and also including a bin for horizontally stacking booklets. The bins are stacked and conveyed on the booklet feeding platform. Limiting side plates are provided on both sides of the booklet feeding platform. A flip-up bin baffle is provided at the output end of the booklet feeding platform. A suction cup for adsorbing the bins is provided on the bin baffle. A booklet holding gripper that moves laterally back and forth is provided at the output end of the booklet feeding platform. The booklet holding gripper transfers the booklets in the bins to the conveying platform. The outlet of the conveying platform is connected to the unloading mechanism.

[0005] The storage box is an open-top box with a window on its left side and a discharge port on its right side. A pressing plate that can extend into the window is located on the left side of the output end of the instruction manual feeding platform. An opening with a retractable baffle is located on the right side of the output end of the instruction manual feeding platform. The opening faces the feeding platform, which has a limiting conveying groove aligned with the opening. The instruction manuals inside the storage box are pushed onto the limiting conveying groove by an instruction manual feeding gripper. A pushing component that moves back and forth along the length of the limiting conveying groove is located within it. The outlet of the limiting conveying groove is connected to the inlet of the unloading mechanism.

[0006] The instruction manual material handling gripper includes a first linear motion module installed at the output end of the instruction manual feeding platform. The slide of the first linear motion module is equipped with two spaced-apart lifting cylinders, and the piston rods of the two lifting cylinders are connected to push forks.

[0007] The instruction manual states that the material feeding platform is surrounded by the input belt, and the bins are arranged sequentially on the input belt.

[0008] The front end of the material feeding platform described in the instruction manual is equipped with a rotatable tilting frame. The bin baffle is mounted on the tilting frame for tilting. The tilting frame is driven by a tilting cylinder. The suction cup on the bin baffle is connected to a vacuum pump through a solenoid valve.

[0009] The instruction manual states that a first cylinder and a second cylinder are installed on the feeding platform. The piston rod of the first cylinder is connected to the extrusion plate, and the piston rod of the second cylinder is connected to the baffle plate.

[0010] The pushing component is a pushing rod. The bottom of the limiting conveying groove is provided with a through groove along its length. The pushing rod extends into the limiting conveying groove through the through groove. A second linear motion module is provided corresponding to the pushing rod. A telescopic cylinder is installed on the slide of the second linear motion module. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the pushing rod.

[0011] Positioning baffles are installed at intervals at the output end of the limiting conveying channel. A movable inserting plate is provided above the gap between the positioning baffles and the limiting conveying channel. The unloading mechanism includes two conveyor belts driven by the same motor. Parts of the sidewalls of the two conveyor belts contact each other to form a clamping conveying path. The entrance of the clamping conveying path is located below the inserting plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Instruction manuals are stacked in the storage boxes, and multiple storage boxes can be placed on the instruction manual feeding platform and conveyed sequentially. After the storage boxes at the front are pushed onto the storage box baffle, they are simultaneously attracted by suction cups. Then, they are transferred to the conveying platform by the instruction manual feeding gripper. The conveying platform then feeds the stacked instruction manuals sequentially into the unloading mechanism for output. Since the instruction manuals are loaded into the storage boxes for feeding, and the storage boxes can be arranged according to the length of the instruction manual feeding platform, the storage capacity of the instruction manuals is greatly increased. No matter how high the consumption efficiency of the instruction manuals on the conveying platform is, the storage boxes on the instruction manual feeding platform can be replenished in time. This achieves the technical effect of large conveying capacity and automatic feeding, in order to meet the needs of high-speed packaging machines.

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments, which are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a booklet storage and conveying device, including a booklet feeding platform 1, a conveying platform 2, and a feeding mechanism 3. It also includes a bin 4 for horizontally stacking booklets. The bin 4 is stacked and conveyed on the booklet feeding platform 1. Limiting side plates 41 are provided on both sides of the booklet feeding platform 1. A flip-up bin baffle 5 is provided at the output end of the booklet feeding platform 1. A suction cup 6 for adsorbing the bin 4 is provided on the bin baffle 5. A booklet holding gripper 7 with horizontal reciprocating motion is provided at the output end of the booklet feeding platform 1. The booklet holding gripper 7 transfers the booklets in the bin 4 to the conveying platform 2. The outlet of the conveying platform 2 is connected to the feeding mechanism 3.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bin 4 is a box with an upper opening 10. A window 41 is provided on the left end face of the bin 4, and the right side of the bin 4 is the discharge port. An extrusion plate 8, which can extend into the window 41 of the bin 4, is provided on the left side of the output end of the feeding platform 1. A first cylinder 81 is installed on the feeding platform 1, and the extrusion plate 8 is connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 81, specifically as follows... Figure 4As shown, an opening 10 is provided on the right side of the output end of the instruction manual feeding platform 1. The opening 10 is located on the limiting side plate 41. A retractable baffle 9 is provided at the opening 10. A second cylinder 91 is installed on the instruction manual feeding platform 1. The piston rod of the second cylinder 91 is connected to the baffle 9. The opening 10 faces the conveying platform 2. Two vertical plates are provided on the platform of the conveying platform 2. The two vertical plates form a limiting conveying groove 20. The limiting conveying groove 20 is aligned with the opening 10, and the width of both is adapted to the width of the instruction manual. The instruction manual in the bin 4 is pushed onto the limiting conveying groove 20 by the instruction manual feeding gripper 7. A pushing component 30 is provided in the limiting conveying groove 20, which moves back and forth along its length. The pushing component 30 pushes the instruction manual in the limiting conveying groove 20 into the unloading mechanism 3. Of course, the outlet of the limiting conveying groove 20 is connected to the inlet of the unloading mechanism 3.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the instruction manual feeding gripper 7 includes a first linear motion module 71 located at the output end of the instruction manual feeding platform 1. The slide of the first linear motion module 71 is equipped with two spaced-apart lifting cylinders 72. The piston rods of the two lifting cylinders 72 are respectively connected to push forks 73. The push forks 73 are two insert rods. The fork on the right side of the bin 4 is also inserted down to the end of the instruction manual. The first cylinder 81 drives the extrusion plate 8 through the window 41 of the bin 4 to extrude the instruction manual into the space. The push fork 73 on the upper left moves down to this position. The push forks 73 on both sides can clamp the instruction manual between them. The second cylinder 91 drives the baffle plate 9 to withdraw from the outlet 10, so that the instruction manual in the bin 4 can be pushed onto the feeding platform 2.

[0025] The instruction manual states that the material feeding platform 1 is surrounded by the input belt 40, and the bins 4 are arranged sequentially on the input belt 40.

[0026] The front end of the instruction manual feeding platform 1 is equipped with a rotatable flipping frame 50. The bin baffle 5 is installed on the flipping frame 50 for flipping. The flipping frame 50 is driven by a flipping cylinder. The suction cup 6 on the bin baffle 5 is connected to the air pump through a solenoid valve. In this way, after the suction cup 6 adsorbs the bin, it is used for positioning and can also flip out the bin after the instruction manual has been pulled out, and then remove the bin.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the pushing component 30 is a pushing rod 30. The bottom of the limiting conveying groove 20 is provided with a through groove along its length. The pushing rod 30 extends into the limiting conveying groove 20 through the through groove. A second linear motion module is provided corresponding to the pushing rod 30. A telescopic cylinder is installed on the slide of the second linear motion module. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the pushing rod 30.

[0028] The first linear motion module 71 and the second linear motion module have the same structure. The structure includes a guide rail, on which a slide block is mounted and slides along the guide rail. The slide block is driven by a belt arranged around it, or it can be driven by a gear and rack. The belt or gear is driven by a servo motor.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a positioning baffle 201 is installed at a distance from the output end of the limiting conveyor trough 20. Above the gap between the positioning baffle 201 and the limiting conveyor trough 20, a vertically movable inserting plate 202 is installed. This allows the instruction manual to contact the positioning baffle 201 during pushing and be positioned. The inserting plate 202 can then insert the positioned instruction manual into the inlet of the unloading mechanism 3. The inserting plate 202 can be driven by a cylinder or an eccentric wheel to move vertically. Specifically... Figure 7 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes two conveyor belts 50 driven by the same motor and arranged in a circular manner. The two conveyor belts 50 are respectively wound around multiple guide rollers. Parts of the side walls of the two conveyor belts 50 contact each other to form a manual clamping and conveying path. The entrance of the manual clamping and conveying path is located below the insert plate 202. In this way, the insert plate 202 can push the manuals arranged at the end into the entrance of the manual clamping and conveying path. Then, the manuals can be clamped and output to the corresponding position by the two conveyor belts 50. The manual clamping and conveying path can be designed according to the conveying position of the packaging box conveyor belt, and a guide plate is installed at the exit of the manual clamping and conveying path.

[0030] The working principle is as follows: The instruction manuals, folded into strips, are placed into the storage box. The storage boxes are arranged sequentially on the instruction manual feeding platform 1 for storage output. During output, the extrusion plate extends into the storage box, and the instruction manual support gripper 7 moves down to hold the instruction manual in the storage box. Then, the second cylinder 91 drives the baffle plate 9 to be pulled away from the outlet 10. The instruction manual support gripper 7 holds the instruction manual and passes through the opening to be conveyed to the conveying platform 2. Of course, the conveying platform 2 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor. The pushing component 30 extends into the limiting conveying groove 20 on the conveying platform 2 to push the instruction manual to the entrance of the unloading mechanism for output. When the photoelectric sensor senses that the pushing component 30 has reached the limit conveying groove 20, the next instruction manual output is started, so that the limit conveying groove 20 is always in the state of having instruction manuals. This structure is also equipped with a control processor and a touch screen. The control processor controls the actions of various controlled components such as cylinders, solenoid valves, and motors through programs, so that each operation is coordinated and orderly.

[0031] Using the above technical solution, the instruction manuals are stacked in the storage box 4, and multiple storage boxes 4 can be placed on the instruction manual feeding platform 1 and conveyed sequentially. The storage box 4 at the front is pushed onto the storage box baffle 5 and simultaneously sucked up by the suction cup 6. Then, it is transferred to the conveying platform 2 by the instruction manual material handling gripper 7. The storage box that has unloaded the instruction manuals is flipped out by the storage box baffle 5, and the storage boxes behind will continue to follow and replace them. The conveying platform 2 will sequentially feed the arranged instruction manuals into the unloading mechanism 3 for instruction manual output. Since the instruction manuals are loaded into the storage box 4 for feeding, and the storage box 4 can be arranged according to the length of the instruction manual feeding platform 1, the storage capacity of the instruction manuals is greatly increased. No matter how high the consumption efficiency of the instruction manuals on the conveying platform 2 is, the storage box 4 on the instruction manual feeding platform 1 can be replenished in time. This achieves the technical effect of large conveying capacity and automatic feeding to meet the needs of high-speed packaging machines. Of course, this booklet storage and conveying equipment can also be used for feeding other sheet materials.
