Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mattress processing equipment, and in particular relates to an inclined conveyor device for mattress packaging lines. Background Technology

[0002] A mattress packaging line is a production line equipment used for automated packaging of mattresses. These lines typically consist of multiple workstations, each with a specific function to ensure that the mattresses are properly packaged and sealed during the production process. Equipment such as conveyor belts or roller conveyors are used to transfer mattresses from one workstation to another. The conveyor belts are usually designed with a certain inclination so that the mattresses can move smoothly from one working height to another, facilitating their transport to the processing equipment for processing.

[0003] However, existing mattress processing equipment typically has inclined conveyor belts on both sides, one side for feeding and the other side for discharging, to complete continuous processing. When discharging, the mattress needs to enter the next set of production equipment for processing. During the conveying process, the front and back of the mattress need to be distinguished, which is usually done manually by flipping it over, a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a mattress packaging line inclined conveyor device. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1

[0032] Please see Figure 1-6The present invention is a tilting conveyor device for a mattress packaging line, including a mattress processing equipment 1, a conveyor 2 installed on one side of the mattress processing equipment 1, a support frame 3 installed on the other side of the mattress processing equipment 1, and a conveyor roller 4 movably connected inside the support frame 3.

[0033] The support frame 3 is equipped with a flipping component, which includes a slot 5. The slot 5 is located at the top of the support frame 3. A flipping rod 6 is installed inside the slot 5. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the flipping rod 6. A support sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod 7. The mattress is flipped by the flipping component.

[0034] A drive assembly is provided on the front side of the support frame 3, and the position of the flipping rod 6 is adjusted by the drive assembly;

[0035] A limiting component is provided on the front side of the support frame 3 to block the mattress.

[0036] Specifically, conveyor 2 is a roller conveyor 2. Inside roller conveyor 2, there are multiple sets of movable rollers. Two sets of rollers are connected by chains and sprockets. The rollers are driven by a motor to achieve the function of tilting and conveying the mattress. There are four slots 5, divided into two groups. The diameter of slot 5 is larger than the diameter of flipping rod 6 and moving rod 11. When flipping rod 6 and moving rod 11 rotate into slot 5, the horizontal position of flipping rod 6 and moving rod 11 is lower than that of conveying roller 4. Specific Implementation Example 2

[0038] Please see Figure 1-6 Based on the first specific embodiment, the limiting component includes a support shaft 9, which is movably connected inside the support frame 3. A rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the surface of the support shaft 9. A moving rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 10. A drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the front side of the support shaft 9. The surface of the support shaft 9 is movably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 3 through a first bearing. A mounting base 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor 12. The rear side of the mounting base 13 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3. The surface of the moving rod 11 is movably connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 8 through a second bearing. The diameter of the slot 5 is larger than the diameter of the moving rod 11.

[0039] Specifically, both sets of rotating rods 10 are fixed between the support shaft 9 and the moving rod 11. The angle of the moving rod 11 can be adjusted under the drive of the drive motor 12. Rubber pads are fixed on the surfaces of the moving rod 11 and the flipping rod 6 to increase the friction with the mattress and play a limiting role. The mounting base 13 is fixed between the drive motor 12 and the support frame 3 to play a supporting role. Specific Implementation Example 3

[0041] Please see Figure 1-6Based on specific embodiments one and two, the drive component includes a servo motor 14, which is fixed to the front side of the rotating rod 10. A first gear 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 14. A second gear 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support sleeve 8. The first gear 15 and the second gear 16 mesh with each other. A bracket 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the mattress processing equipment 1. A visual inspection probe 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 17. A support rod 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 3. A base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 19.

[0042] Specifically, the first gear 15 and the second gear 16 mesh with each other to transmit the driving force of the servo motor 14. The support sleeve 8 is movably connected to the surface of the moving rod 11 through the bearing, which can support the rotation of the flipping rod 6 and limit the rotation of the flipping rod 6 around the moving rod 11 as the axis of rotation. The visual inspection probe 18 can collect images of the mattress surface and extract features such as texture, color, and pattern. Based on the extracted features and the comparison with the trained model, the mattress is classified and judged to determine whether it is the front or the back. This can replace manual judgment of the front and back of the mattress.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The staff starts the conveyor 2 through the external controller. The conveyor 2 transports the mattress to the mattress processing equipment 1 for processing. After processing, the mattress moves to the surface of the conveyor roller 4 and tilts downward by its own weight to achieve the conveying function. At the same time, the drive motor 12 is started. The drive motor 12, together with the support shaft 9, drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. The rotating rod 10 drives the moving rod 11 to rotate out of the slot 5 and align with the mattress. When the mattress slides down the surface of the conveyor roller 4, it will contact the moving rod 11 and prevent the mattress from sliding down further.

[0044] Then, the mattress is photographed and sampled by the visual inspection probe 18. Based on the extracted features and the comparison with the trained model, the mattress is classified and judged to determine whether it is the front or the back. When the mattress is detected to be in a different position and needs to be flipped, the servo motor 14 is started. The servo motor 14, together with the first gear 15, drives the second gear 16 to rotate. The second gear 16, together with the support sleeve 8, drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate. The connecting rod 7 drives the flipping rod 6 to push the mattress and flip it over, so that the processing surface of the mattress is kept uniform, which facilitates subsequent processing without the need for manual operation and improves processing efficiency.
