Description

Technical Field

[0002] Vertical bag packaging machines currently have certain limitations in production use, particularly in the lack of counting and collection functions, which significantly impacts the overall efficiency of the packaging process. After packaging, the machines require manual counting and collection of the finished bags. This additional manual step makes the production process time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing overall production line efficiency and increasing employee workload and fatigue. Prolonged repetitive labor leads to physical fatigue and affects work quality. The inefficiency of manual counting and collection can also cause errors, such as inaccurate quantity checks, affecting subsequent logistics and delivery. This poses a significant challenge for modern manufacturing enterprises that pursue high precision and efficiency. In traditional operating models, companies need to invest more human resources to handle the increased counting and collection work due to increased production volume, undoubtedly increasing labor costs and affecting cost control and efficiency maximization.

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a vertical small bag packaging machine in a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the tilting hopper in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] See Figure 1-Figure 2 A vertical small bag packaging machine with counting and collection function, the vertical small bag packaging machine includes a packaging machine body 1, a counter 2, a sensing mechanism 3, a controller and a tilting hopper 5. The packaging machine body 1 includes a conveying mechanism 11, a sealing mechanism 12, a feeding mechanism 13, and a transverse cutter 14. The conveying mechanism 11 conveys the packaging bag to the sealing mechanism 12, which heat-seals the upper and lower sides of the packaging bag. The feeding mechanism 13 feeds material into the packaging bag. The transverse cutter 14 cuts the upper side of the packaging bag so that it falls onto the tilting hopper 5, which is located in a horizontal position. The sensing mechanism 3, the counter 2, and the tilting hopper 5 are connected to the controller. The sensing mechanism 3 senses the transverse cutter 14. The counter 2 counts the number of times the transverse cutter 14 operates through the sensing mechanism 3. The controller controls the tilting hopper 5 to tilt from a horizontal position to an inclined position based on the number of times the counter 2 counts the number of operations. A collection bag 6 is connected to the lower end of the tilting hopper 5, which is located in an inclined position.

[0019] By integrating counter 2 and sensing mechanism 3, automatic counting of packaging bags is achieved, avoiding manual counting and improving overall production efficiency. The controller automatically controls the movement of the tilting hopper 5 based on data from counter 2, allowing packaging bags to automatically fall into collection bag 6, simplifying the operation process and reducing manual intervention. The automatic counting function ensures accurate measurement of each packaging bag, avoiding the quantity errors common in manual operation and improving the reliability of the production process. The automatic collection system automatically guides the packaged bags into collection bag 6, reducing the physical labor required for manual collection and improving the comfort of the working environment. The tilting hopper 5 can smoothly move from a horizontal position to an inclined position under controller commands, ensuring the continuity of material flow and maintaining smooth production.

[0020] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 11 includes a drive wheel 111, a driven wheel 112, and a guide device, connected to the packaging machine body 1, for stably conveying the packaging bag to the next processing position. The drive wheel 111 is powered by a motor, causing the packaging bag to move smoothly along a fixed trajectory, thereby conveying the packaging bag sequentially to the sealing and cutting processes. The guide device can be used to maintain the correct position of the packaging bag during the conveying process, avoiding deviation or jamming. The sealing mechanism 12 includes multiple heat sealing devices, each including two heating plates, which generate heat through electric heating to weld the upper or lower side of the packaging bag. The heat sealing device first heat seals the lower side of the strip packaging bag, then the material is conveyed into the packaging bag through the feeding mechanism 13, and then another heat sealing device heat seals the upper side of the strip packaging bag. The transverse cutter 14 includes a cutting blade, a blade holder, and a drive device. The blade is mounted on the blade holder and its transverse movement is controlled by a pneumatic or electric drive device. The transverse cutter 14 is used to precisely cut the upper side of the packaging bag, so that the packaging bag can be easily separated and fall onto the tipping hopper 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, the sensing mechanism 3 is a photoelectric sensor, which includes a transmitter and a receiver. When the transverse cutter 14 cuts, the transverse cutter 14 is positioned between the transmitter and receiver, allowing the sensing mechanism 3 to detect the transverse cutter 14. At this time, the counter 2 increments by one. When the counter 2 reaches a certain value, the controller controls the tilting hopper 5 to tilt downwards, allowing the individual packaging bags on the tilting hopper 5 to fall into the collection bag 6.

[0022] The tilting hopper 5 is located below the transverse cutter 14. The tilting hopper 5 includes a hopper body 51 and a drive mechanism 52. The drive mechanism 52 controls the movement of the hopper body 51 between the horizontal position and the inclined position. The drive mechanism 52 is connected to the controller. The upper end of the hopper body 51 is rotatably connected to the packaging machine body 1. The drive mechanism 52 is a telescopic rod. One end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the packaging machine body 1, and the other end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the lower side of the hopper body 51. The telescopic rod can extend and retract to drive the hopper body 51 to tilt.

[0023] In this embodiment, a protective shell 141 is provided outside the transverse cutter 14, and an opening 142 is provided on the protective shell 141. The sensing mechanism 3 is correspondingly disposed on the opening 142. In this embodiment, when the tilting hopper 5 is in an inclined position, the tilting angle of the tilting hopper 5 is 45 degrees.

[0024] The working process of this vertical small bag packaging machine is as follows: When the packaging bag reaches the sealing mechanism 12, the heat sealing device is activated to heat and seal the lower side of the packaging bag. The material is evenly fed into the packaging bag through the feeding mechanism 13, and the heat sealing device then heats and seals the upper side of the packaging bag. The sealed packaging bag enters the working area of ​​the horizontal cutter 14. Under the command of the controller, the cutter performs a cutting action, cutting off the upper side of the sealed packaging bag and separating it. At this time, the cutting action is also detected in real time by the sensing mechanism 3, and the counting data is transmitted to the counter 2. The photoelectric sensor, as the sensing mechanism 3, senses each action of the horizontal cutter 14 and transmits the signal to the counter 2. The counter 2 records the number of times the cutter works and tracks the number of completed packaging bags in real time. When the counter 2 reaches the preset number, the controller sends a command to make the tilting hopper 5 rotate from the horizontal position to the inclined position. At this time, the cut packaging bag falls into the tilting hopper 5 and is guided into the collection bag 6. The tilting hopper 5 automatically pours the packaging bags into the collection bag 6 connected at the lower end, realizing automatic collection of the packaging bags. The whole process requires no manual intervention.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
