Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an improved honeycomb paperboard processing equipment, and in particular to a honeycomb paper core docking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The honeycomb paper cores processed by the honeycomb paper core machine are stacked to a certain height and then broken apart. The formed honeycomb paper cores are used for the production of honeycomb paperboard. That is, the upper and lower ends of the honeycomb paper cores are laminated with the face paper to form a continuous honeycomb paperboard. When the honeycomb paper core of one unit is used up, its tail end is manually connected to the beginning end of another honeycomb paper core unit, thereby continuously supplying honeycomb paper cores to the honeycomb paperboard machine.
[0003] Because the honeycomb paper cores are wide and the joints are uneven, manual assembly is difficult and requires a high level of experience from the workers. It is also prone to problems such as uneven edges and missing cores, resulting in a high scrap rate. Furthermore, after receiving the material, the pallet must be replaced, the old pallet moved from the feeding station, and the new honeycomb paper cores manually delivered to the feeding station. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a honeycomb paper core docking mechanism that improves the docking speed and docking quality of paper cores and realizes automatic docking of paper cores.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: The honeycomb paper core docking mechanism is characterized by including a material support platform and a paper core docking component.
[0006] The paper core docking component includes a positioning component and a docking component. The positioning component is in front of the docking component. The positioning component and the docking component move back and forth relative to the material support table, and the docking component moves back and forth relative to the positioning component.
[0007] During the docking operation, the positioning component fixes the tail end of the front paper core on the material support platform, and the positioning component moves forward synchronously with the front paper core. The docking component fixes the beginning end of the rear paper core entering the material support platform and moves towards the positioning component, so that the beginning end of the rear paper core is pressed against the tail end of the front paper core.
[0008] At the tail end of the front paper core and the beginning end of the rear paper core on the material support platform, the docking parts of the two are opposite each other. The positioning and docking parts realize the automatic docking of the honeycomb paper core, which not only reduces manual operation and lowers labor costs, but also improves the docking speed and docking quality of the paper core, and reduces the loss of paper core and paperboard.
[0009] The honeycomb paper core docking mechanism also includes a first conveying component and a second conveying component.
[0010] The first conveying component includes a first conveyor belt;
[0011] The second conveying component includes a second conveyor belt, and the material support platform is connected to the output ends of the first and second conveyor belts.
[0012] The first and second conveying components transport paper cores from two stations, one of which is in use while the other is waiting. When the paper core in use is about to run out, a docking operation begins. The waiting paper core is sent to the support platform, behind the first paper core. At this point, the tail end of the first paper core and the beginning end of the second paper core are both on the support platform, with their docking points facing each other. The positioning component fixes the tail end of the first paper core on the support platform and moves forward synchronously with the first paper core. The docking component fixes the beginning end of the second paper core entering the support platform and moves it towards the positioning component. The second paper core moves forward faster than the first paper core. Finally, the beginning end of the second paper core is pressed against the tail end of the first paper core, and the tail end of the first paper core adheres to the beginning end of the second paper core, completing the docking and forming a continuous paper core.
[0013] Preferably, the positioning element is mounted on a movable base, which is provided with a longitudinally arranged guide rail, and the docking element is slidably mounted on the guide rail; the movable base can move back and forth on the frame. During docking, the positioning element and the preceding paper core move forward synchronously through the movable base, and the docking element on the movable base also moves forward together; at the same time, the docking element moves towards the positioning element on the movable base, causing the following paper core to approach the preceding paper core and adhere to it.
[0014] The material support platform is set at the same height as the first conveyor belt;
[0015] The second conveyor belt is positioned above the first conveyor belt. The discharge end of the second conveyor belt has a bridge plate that guides the paper cores to the support platform, and the bridge plate is inclined downwards. The first conveyor belt and the support platform are at the same height, ensuring a smooth connection; the second conveyor belt and the support platform are positioned vertically, creating a height difference, and the bridge plate facilitates a better connection between the second conveyor belt and the support platform. This layout is reasonable, the structure is more compact, and it reduces the space occupied.
[0016] Preferably, the positioning element includes positioning pins that can move up and down, and a plurality of positioning pins are provided and arranged horizontally.
[0017] The docking component includes several docking pins that move up and down and are arranged laterally. A positioning pin and / or docking pins move downwards and insert into the honeycomb holes of the paper core. The positioning pins move forward together with the preceding paper core, and the forward movement of the docking pins causes the following paper core to move forward as well. During docking, the docking pins push the beginning of the following paper core to press against the end of the preceding paper core. Due to the obstruction of the positioning pins, the end of the preceding paper core is compressed by the following paper core and the docking pins, but this does not affect the preceding paper core in front of the positioning pins. Essentially, the positioning pins and docking pins are pressed together, with only the paper cores between them being compressed, thus bonding the preceding and following paper cores.
[0018] Preferably, the positioning element includes a positioning plate that can be raised and lowered.
[0019] The docking component includes a docking plate that can be raised and lowered.
[0020] Preferably, the positioning element further includes a first support plate, which is lowered relative to the first support plate, and the two clamp the honeycomb paper core;
[0021] The docking component also includes a second support plate, which moves downward relative to the second support plate, and the two clamp the honeycomb paper core.
[0022] The positioning and docking components use clamping to fix the paper core. During docking, the positioning plate and the first support plate will clamp the tail end of the front paper core and move forward together, while the docking plate and the second support plate will clamp the beginning end of the rear paper core and move forward together. The clamping and movement are stable and the compression is even, resulting in a better docking effect. Similarly, because they are only restricted and fixed at the tail end of the front paper core and the beginning end of the rear paper core, the two are compressed and bonded together, and other parts of the paper core will not be affected.
[0023] Preferably, the material support platform is a conveyor platform, which includes several longitudinally conveying conveyor belts spaced laterally; the first pallet and the second pallet correspond to the spaces between adjacent conveyor belts. The material support platform actively conveys the paper core, reducing friction and preventing damage; simultaneously, the conveyor belts are staggered from the first and second pallets, so they do not interfere with each other.
[0024] Preferably, the lower surfaces of the positioning plate and the docking plate are provided with several protrusions. The protrusions can increase the friction between the positioning component, the docking component and the honeycomb paper core, and prevent slippage during docking and pressing.
[0025] Alternatively, the positioning plate may be equipped with positioning pins, and the docking plate may be equipped with docking pins.
[0026] When the positioning plate and the docking plate press down on and clamp the honeycomb paper core, the positioning pins and docking pins are inserted into the honeycomb holes of the honeycomb paper core. During the docking and pressing process, the positioning plate and positioning pins act on the front honeycomb paper core, and the docking plate and docking pins act on the rear honeycomb paper core. During the pressing and docking process, the force is more balanced, resulting in a better docking effect.
[0027] Preferably, the first conveyor belt is mounted on the first drive roller, and the first conveying component further includes a first pressure roller. The first pressure roller presses against the first drive roller at the beginning of the first conveyor belt to convey the paper core. The first pressure roller, the first conveyor belt, and the first drive roller form a traction assembly. Under the traction of the first pressure roller and the first conveyor belt, the paper core enters the first conveyor belt, which enables the vertically conveyed paper core to be converted to horizontally conveyed.
[0028] Preferably, the honeycomb paper core docking mechanism also includes a sensor for detecting whether the rear paper core is in place. The sensor includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is located at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt, and the second sensor is located at the discharge end of the second conveyor belt. Both the first sensor and the second sensor are connected to the controller.
[0029] The honeycomb paper core docking mechanism also includes a third sensor to detect whether the preceding paper core is used up. The third sensor is located at the feeding end of the material support table and is connected to the controller.
[0030] When the first or second sensor detects paper cores at the discharge end of the first or second conveyor belt, it indicates that the paper cores have arrived at the rear. The controller sends a command to the first or second conveyor belt to stop conveying. When the third sensor detects that there are no paper cores at the feed end of the support platform, it indicates that the paper cores at the front are about to run out. The controller sends a command to the conveyor belt where the paper cores have arrived at the rear. This conveyor belt will then deliver the paper cores to the support platform and send a command to the paper core docking component to perform docking operations, thus achieving automatic control.
[0031] Preferably, the first paper core station is located below the beginning of the first conveyor belt;
[0032] The second paper core station is located below the beginning of the second conveyor belt, and the first paper core station is located in front of the second paper core station.
[0033] The paper core is fed in a dual-station manner, ensuring that the paper core position remains unchanged and the conveying is stable. The edges are aligned neatly, and the docking effect is excellent. Moreover, there is no need to change the pallet, which reduces manual operation and improves production efficiency.

[0039] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the embodiments and working principles of this utility model.
[0040] A honeycomb paperboard processing device includes a honeycomb paper core docking mechanism. A paper core gluing mechanism 1 is located in front of the honeycomb paper core docking mechanism. The honeycomb paper cores are glued by the paper core gluing mechanism 1, and the glued honeycomb paper cores are then laminated with the face paper to form a honeycomb paperboard. When the paper cores are almost used up, the honeycomb paper core docking mechanism connects the beginning of a new set of paper cores to the end of the nearly used paper cores in front, achieving a continuous supply of honeycomb paper cores.
[0041] The honeycomb paper core docking mechanism includes a material support platform 3, a paper core docking component, a first conveying component, and a second conveying component. The paper core docking component includes a positioning element 4 and a docking element 5. The positioning element 4 is in front of the docking element 5. The positioning element and the docking element move back and forth relative to the material support platform, and the docking element moves back and forth relative to the positioning element. The first conveying component includes a first conveyor belt 8; the second conveying component includes a second conveyor belt 9. The material support platform 3 is connected to the output ends of the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 9. When the first conveyor belt 8 is conveying the front paper core 2, the second conveyor belt 9 will deliver it from the beginning of the rear paper core 12 to the discharge end, and then stop conveying. When the front paper core 2 is about to be used up, the docking operation begins, and the second conveyor belt 9 starts to deliver it from the beginning of the rear paper core 12 to the material support platform 3. Similarly, when the second conveyor belt 9 is conveying the front paper core 2, the first conveyor belt 8 will deliver it from the beginning of the rear paper core 12 to the discharge end, and then stop conveying until the docking operation begins, thus alternating between the two. During the docking operation, both the tail end of the front paper core 2 and the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 are on the material support platform 3, with their docking points facing each other. The positioning member 4 fixes the tail end of the front paper core 2 on the material support platform 3, and the positioning member 4 moves forward synchronously with the front paper core 2. The docking member 5 fixes the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 that enters the material support platform 3 and moves it towards the positioning member 4. That is, the docking member 5 moves forward relative to the positioning member, so the docking member 5 pulls the rear paper core 12 forward at a faster speed than the front paper core 2. Finally, the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 is pressed against the tail end of the front paper core 2, and the tail end of the front paper core 2 and the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 are bonded together (double-sided tape or adhesive is applied to the tail end of the front paper core 2 and / or the beginning end of the rear paper core 12), completing the docking and forming a continuous paper core.
[0042] The positioning component 4 is fixed at the tail end of the front paper core 2, and the docking component 5 is fixed at the beginning end of the rear paper core 12. This fixing is not limited to a fixed connection but also includes movable elements. The purpose is to allow the rear paper core 12 on the material support platform 3 to move forward via the docking component 5, making the rear paper core 12 move faster than the front paper core 2. Furthermore, when the tail end of the front paper core 2 is pressed against the beginning end of the rear paper core 12, other parts of the front paper core 2 will not be compressed, thus ensuring that the docking operation does not affect the overall conveying of the paper cores. The fixed connection can be achieved using clamping components or suction components. Specifically, the positioning component 4 and the docking component 5 can be clamped at the tail end of the front paper core 2 and the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 respectively; or the positioning component 4 and the docking component 5 can be suctioned at the tail end of the front paper core 2 and the beginning end of the rear paper core 12. The movable connection method is more flexible than the fixed connection method. For example, the positioning component 4 and the docking component 5 use vertically movable positioning pins 19 and 20. The positioning pins 19 and 20 are movable with the honeycomb paper core. The positioning pins 19 and 20 are inserted into the honeycomb holes of the honeycomb paper core, which can restrict or pull the honeycomb paper core. When the positioning pins 19 and 20 move upward, they disengage from the honeycomb paper core. See appendix. Figure 4 The positioning component 4 includes several positioning pins 19 that move up and down, arranged horizontally, with the width of the positioning pins 19 being approximately equal to the width of the honeycomb paper core. Similarly, the docking component 5 includes several docking pins 20 that move up and down, arranged horizontally. The positioning pins 19 and docking pins 20 are arranged in two rows, providing double protection and improving the stability of the docking, while also preventing docking failure due to paper core damage. During the docking process, the positioning pin 19 and the docking pin 20 move down and insert into the honeycomb holes of the paper core. The positioning pin 19 moves forward along with the preceding paper core 2, while the docking pin 20 pulls the following paper core 12 toward the preceding paper core 2 until the beginning of the following paper core 12 is pressed against the end of the preceding paper core 2. Because the positioning pin 19 blocks in front, the end of the preceding paper core 2 is squeezed by the following paper core 12 and the docking pin 20 without affecting the preceding paper core 2 in front of the positioning pin 19. The pressing of the beginning of the following paper core 12 with the end of the preceding paper core 2 is equivalent to the pressing of the positioning pin 19 and the docking pin 20. Only the paper cores between the two are squeezed, so that the paper core conveying of the honeycomb paperboard processing equipment is not affected by the paper core docking.
[0043] The above-mentioned fixed connection method is illustrated using the clamping method as an example, see appendix. Figure 3The positioning component 4 includes a positioning plate 17 that can move up and down, and the docking component 5 includes a docking plate 18 that can move up and down. During docking, the positioning plate 17 and the docking plate 18 move down to press and fix the tail end of the front paper core 2 and the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 on the material support platform 3, respectively. The docking plate 18 moves forward, and the friction force drives the rear paper core to move forward on the material support platform. In a preferred embodiment, the positioning component 4 also includes a first support plate 15, and the positioning plate 17 moves down relative to the first support plate 15, with the two clamping the honeycomb paper core; the docking component 5 also includes a second support plate 16, and the docking plate 18 moves down relative to the second support plate 16, with the two clamping the honeycomb paper core. Positioning component 4 and docking component 5 use a clamping method to fix the paper core and move together. Specifically, positioning plate 17 and first support plate 15 clamp the tail end of the front paper core 2 and move forward together, while docking plate 18 and second support plate 16 clamp the beginning end of the rear paper core 12 and move forward together. This clamping and movement is stable, and the paper core experiences balanced lateral force during docking and compression, resulting in better docking performance. Positioning component 4 and docking component 5 only restrict and fix the tail end of the front paper core 2 and the beginning end of the rear paper core 12, allowing for compression and adhesion between these ends without affecting other parts of the paper core. To further improve clamping stability, the lower surfaces of positioning plate 17 and docking plate 18 are provided with several protrusions. These protrusions increase the friction between positioning plate 17 / 17, docking plate 18 and the honeycomb paper core, preventing slippage. Positioning pins can also be installed on the positioning plate and docking pins on the docking plate. When the positioning plate and docking pins move down, the positioning pins and docking pins are inserted into the honeycomb holes. In this way, during the docking operation, the positioning plate and positioning pins act on the front honeycomb paper core, and the docking plate and docking pins act on the rear honeycomb paper core. This not only prevents slippage during docking, but also makes the force more even during compression docking, resulting in a firm docking.
[0044] The material support platform 3 is a conveyor platform that actively transports the paper core, reducing friction and preventing damage. The conveyor platform includes several longitudinally conveying conveyor belts spaced laterally. The positioning pins 19 and connecting pins 20 correspond to the spaces between adjacent conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are staggered from the positioning pins 19 and connecting pins 20, so they do not interfere with each other. If a first pallet 15 and a second pallet 16 are provided, they are positioned between adjacent conveyor belts.
[0045] The material support platform 3 is set at the same height as the first conveyor belt 8; the second conveyor belt is positioned above the first conveyor belt, and the discharge end of the second conveyor belt 9 is equipped with a bridge plate 7 to guide the paper core onto the material support platform 3. The bridge plate 7 is inclined downwards. The first conveyor belt 8 and the material support platform 3 are positioned at equal heights, ensuring smooth connection; the second conveyor belt 9 and the material support platform 3 are positioned vertically, creating a height difference, and the bridge plate 7 facilitates a better connection between the second conveyor belt 9 and the material support platform 3. This layout is reasonable, the structure is more compact, and the space occupied is reduced.
[0046] The positioning element 4 is mounted on the movable seat 6, which is provided with a longitudinally arranged guide rail. The docking element 5 is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The movable seat 6 can move back and forth on the frame. During docking, the movable seat 6 moves the positioning element 4 forward synchronously with the front paper core 2. The docking element 5 on the movable seat 6 also moves forward together. At the same time, the docking element 5 moves towards the positioning element 4 on the movable seat 6, so that the rear paper core 12 approaches the front paper core 2 and adheres to it. After docking is completed, the movable seat 6 retracts and resets, and the docking element 5 retracts and resets on the movable seat 6.
[0047] This invention employs a first conveyor belt 8 and a second conveyor belt 9 to transport paper cores, and the dual-station feeding method further improves efficiency. Existing honeycomb paper core joining and honeycomb cardboard processing equipment all use single-station paper core feeding. The paper cores are stacked on a pallet. When the paper cores are almost used up, a new set of paper cores is manually moved to the pallet next to the paper core feeding station. After manually joining the previous paper core 2 with the new set of paper cores 12, the pallet at the paper core feeding station is removed, and then the new set of paper cores is moved to the paper core feeding station. This is not only cumbersome and space-consuming, but also prone to problems such as paper core misalignment and breakage due to the movement of the paper cores before and after joining. The dual-station feeding method solves the above problems. The first paper core station 13 is located below the beginning of the first conveyor belt 8; the second paper core station 14 is located below the beginning of the second conveyor belt 9, and the first paper core station 13 is located in front of the second paper core station 14. The paper core is fed at two stations. When paper cores are joined, the positions of the feeding stations for the front paper core 2 and the rear paper core 12 remain unchanged, avoiding the above-mentioned problems. The paper core is conveyed more stably, the edges are aligned neatly, and the joining effect is excellent. Moreover, there is no need to change the pallet, reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency. Even if manual joining is used, the dual-station feeding can effectively avoid the problems of paper cores being pulled apart and paper cores running off-center during the joining operation, thus improving the stability of paper core conveying.
[0048] The first conveyor belt 8 is mounted on the first drive roller 10. The first conveying component also includes a first pressure roller 11, which presses against the first drive roller 10 at the beginning of the first conveyor belt 8 to convey the paper core. The first pressure roller 11, the first conveyor belt 8, and the first drive roller 10 form a traction assembly. Under the traction of the first pressure roller 11 and the first conveyor belt 8, the paper core enters the first conveyor belt 8, turning the vertically conveyed paper core into a horizontally conveyed one. Similarly, the second conveying component can also adopt the above structure to realize the conveying of the paper core.
[0049] The honeycomb paper core docking mechanism also includes a sensor to detect whether the rear paper core 12 is in place. The sensor includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is located at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 8, and the second sensor is located at the discharge end of the second conveyor belt 9. Both the first and second sensors are connected to a controller. The honeycomb paper core docking mechanism also includes a third sensor to detect whether the front paper core 2 is used up. The third sensor is located at the feed end of the material support platform 3 and is connected to the controller. The controller controls the paper core docking operation and the operation of the honeycomb paperboard production. When the first or second sensor detects a paper core at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 8 or the second conveyor belt 9, it indicates that the rear paper core 12 is in place, and the controller sends a command to the first or second conveyor belt 8 to stop conveying. When the third sensor detects no paper core at the feed end of the material support platform 3, it indicates that the front paper core 2 is about to be used up, and the controller sends a command to the first or second conveyor belt 8 to deliver the rear paper core to the material support platform 3, and also sends a command to the paper core docking component to perform the docking operation, achieving automatic control.
[0050] The working principle of the preferred embodiment is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Both the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 9 are connected to the beginning of the material support platform 3, and the starting position of the docking component 5 is above the beginning of the material support platform 3. The paper core at the first paper core station 13 is being fed, while the paper core at the second paper core station 14 is waiting. For ease of description, the paper core at the first paper core station 13 is referred to as the first paper core, and the paper core at the second paper core station 14 is referred to as the second paper core. The first conveyor belt 8 conveys the first paper core forward, and the first paper core is glued by the paper core gluing mechanism 1. After gluing, the first paper core is laminated with the face paper to form a honeycomb paperboard. When the third sensor does not detect a paper core, and the first sensor also does not detect a paper core, the information is sent to the controller. The controller sends instructions to the first conveyor belt 8, the second conveyor belt 9, and the paper core docking component. The first conveyor belt 8 stops conveying, and the second conveyor belt 9 starts, conveying the second paper core onto the material support platform 3, and the second conveyor belt continues to convey the second paper core. The positioning plate 17 and docking plate 18 move downwards, the positioning plate 17 and the first support plate 15 clamp the tail end of the first paper core, and the docking plate 18 and the second support plate 16 clamp the beginning end of the second paper core. The moving seat 6 moves forward with the positioning component 4 and the docking component 5, so that the positioning component 4 is synchronized with the first paper core. The docking component 5 moves forward on the moving seat 6, so that the beginning end of the second paper core approaches the tail end of the first paper core until the two are pressed together, and the tail end of the first paper core is bonded to the beginning end of the second paper core. After docking is completed, the positioning plate 17 and the docking plate 18 move upwards, the moving seat 6 retracts and resets, and the docking component 5 retracts and resets on the moving seat 6, returning to the starting position. After the paper cores at the first paper core station 13 are used up, the worker delivers a new set of paper cores to the first paper core station 13 and starts the first conveyor belt 8. The beginning of the new first paper core enters the first conveyor belt 8 under the traction of the first pressure roller 11 and the first conveyor belt 8, and is conveyed by the first conveyor belt 8 to its discharge end. The first sensor detects the paper core information. At this time, the second and third sensors also collect the paper core information. The controller sends a command to the first conveyor belt 8, and the first conveyor belt 8 stops conveying, waiting for the next connection. When the third sensor does not detect paper cores, the first conveyor belt 8 starts conveying again. This alternating operation achieves non-stop operation.
