Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic packaging of rubber blocks, and in particular to a rubber block shaping and conveying machine. Background Technology
[0002] Rubber is a widely used industrial raw material, usually processed into rubber blocks. The formed rubber blocks are easy to transport and store, and can be used as raw materials for the production of various products. However, because the rubber blocks are relatively soft, they are prone to deformation during packaging and transportation as the production line moves. The deformed rubber blocks cannot be naturally placed into the packaging box, which has a significant impact on the subsequent automatic packaging process of the production line.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN 109732823 B discloses a block shaping device and block processing equipment for shaping rubber blocks before packaging. It includes a conveying device with a fixed bracket mounted on it, and a first, second, and third shaping mechanism mounted on the fixed bracket. These mechanisms shape the rubber block in three directions to conform to the specifications of the packaging box. However, because the fixed bracket is immovable, the three shaping mechanisms can only shape the rubber block at a set position on the conveying device. After shaping, the rubber block continues to move on the conveying device. During this movement, the rubber block, having lost the shaping effect of the mechanisms, still undergoes some deformation. While this improves the fit between the rubber block and the packaging box to some extent, in actual use, some rubber blocks still require manual reshaping. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rubber block shaping conveyor. After the shaping device shapes the rubber block at the set position of the conveying device, it can move with the rubber block, so that the rubber block can maintain its shaped state in the subsequent conveying route of the conveying device, avoid deformation, and improve the matching degree with the packaging box.
[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is:
[0006] A rubber block shaping conveyor includes a frame. The top of the frame is provided with a conveying device, a servo drive device, and a shaping device. The shaping device includes a lifting platform and X-axis shaping mechanism, Y-axis shaping mechanism, and Z-axis shaping mechanism disposed on the lifting platform. The lifting platform is movably mounted above the conveying device via the servo drive device. A shaping area is formed between the X-axis shaping mechanism, the Y-axis shaping mechanism, and the Z-axis shaping mechanism. The conveying device is adapted to move the rubber block into the shaping area, and the servo drive device is adapted to drive the shaping area to follow the conveying device to the next work station.
[0007] Furthermore, the servo transmission device includes first guide rail assemblies symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying device and fixed on the frame. A synchronous belt is provided parallel to the side of any one of the first guide rail assemblies. The lifting platform is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt and the slider of the first guide rail assembly. The two ends of the synchronous belt are respectively provided with a driving component and a driven component, and are adapted to perform a circumferential motion through the driving component and the driven component so that the lifting platform can translate along the length direction of the first guide rail assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the first guide rail assembly has two ends fixedly fitted with opposing limiting seats.
[0009] Furthermore, the lifting platform includes a main frame, and a lifting cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the main frame. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is vertically downward and is sequentially connected to a first floating joint and a lifting seat. The X-axis shaping mechanism, Y-axis shaping mechanism and Z-axis shaping mechanism are all located on the lifting seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the Z-axis shaping mechanism includes a pressure plate and Z-axis cylinders symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lifting seat, and a second floating joint is connected between the pressure plate and the two Z-axis cylinders.
[0011] Furthermore, the X-axis shaping mechanism includes a pull tube fixedly connected to the lifting seat. The two ends of the pull tube are symmetrically provided with baffles. An X-axis cylinder is fixedly mounted on any one of the baffles. The piston rod of the X-axis cylinder is horizontally arranged along the X-axis direction and is sequentially connected to a third floating joint and a push plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided on the outer side of the baffle.
[0013] Furthermore, the Y-axis shaping mechanism includes a hanger fixedly mounted at the bottom of the lifting seat. A Y-axis drive assembly is fixedly mounted on the top of the hanger, and second guide rail assemblies extending along the Y-axis direction are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the bottom. A pair of clamping plates extending along the X-axis direction are arranged parallel to each other below the second guide rail assemblies. The clamping plates are respectively fixedly connected to corresponding sliders on the two guide rail assemblies and are connected to the Y-axis drive assembly for transmission. The Y-axis drive assembly is adapted to drive the two clamping plates to move away from each other and closer to each other.
[0014] Furthermore, the Y-axis drive assembly includes a cylinder mounting bracket fixed in the middle of the hanger. A Y-axis cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the cylinder mounting bracket, and a gear is rotatably connected to the bottom. The output shaft of the Y-axis cylinder is horizontally arranged along the Y-axis direction and is sequentially connected to a third floating joint and a connecting seat between one of the clamping plates. A rack extending along the Y-axis direction is fixedly connected to both clamping plates, and the racks mesh with the gears.
[0015] Furthermore, the end of the conveying device is provided with a lifting and storage device, which includes a base plate fixed on the frame, a lifting cylinder fixed at the bottom of the base plate, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder vertically upward through the base plate and sequentially connected to a fourth floating joint and a top plate.
[0016] Furthermore, guide components are symmetrically provided on both sides of the lifting cylinder, X-axis cylinder, and jacking cylinder to improve the stability of the corresponding linear motion.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) This utility model uses a servo transmission device to drive the lifting platform to move along the conveying direction of the conveying device, and installs the X-axis shaping mechanism, Y-axis shaping mechanism and Z-axis shaping mechanism on the lifting platform to realize the lifting and overall following movement of the shaping area surrounded by the three shaping mechanisms. After the shaping device shapes the rubber block at the set position of the conveying device, it can follow the rubber block to move, so that the rubber block can maintain the shaped state in the subsequent conveying route of the conveying device, avoid deformation, and improve the matching degree with the packaging box.
[0019] (2) This utility model drives the lifting platform to move horizontally through the transmission of the synchronous belt, and is equipped with a first guide rail assembly, which provides good support for the lifting platform and also provides guidance, ensuring the smooth movement of the lifting platform.
[0020] (3) This utility model limits the maximum stroke of the lifting platform by setting a limit seat. When the lifting platform reaches the limit position of its stroke, the limit seat can physically prevent it from continuing to move forward, thereby avoiding damage or failure caused by exceeding the allowable range and improving the safety of equipment use.
[0021] (4) The lifting platform of this utility model is driven by the lifting cylinder to move the lifting seat, thereby realizing the overall lifting of the X-axis shaping mechanism, the Y-axis shaping mechanism and the Z-axis shaping mechanism, so that the rubber block can smoothly enter the shaping area. The structure is simple and the action response is fast. At the same time, the floating joint compensates for the coaxial deviation between the piston rod and the lifting seat, which has a certain shock absorption and buffering effect, enhancing the reliability and safety of the lifting movement.
[0022] (5) The Z-axis shaping mechanism of this utility model drives the pressure plate to rise and fall simultaneously through two Z-axis cylinders, thereby improving the uniformity of the pressure plate and avoiding the tilting of the upper surface of the rubber block caused by the tilting of the pressure plate during the pressing process.
[0023] (6) The X-axis shaping mechanism of this utility model drives the push plate to move toward the opposite baffle through the X-axis cylinder, thereby realizing the shaping of both sides of the rubber block in the X-axis direction.
[0024] (7) A reinforcing plate is added to the baffle of this utility model to improve the structural strength of the baffle and avoid deformation due to long-term use, which would affect the shaping effect.
[0025] (8) The Y-axis shaping mechanism of this utility model realizes the sliding connection between the clamping plate and the hanger through the second guide rail assembly, and the clamping plate is driven to move closer and further away from each other by the Y-axis drive assembly, thereby realizing the shaping of the Y-direction side of the rubber block.
[0026] (9) The Y-axis drive assembly of this utility model is equipped with gears and racks as transmission structures to realize the synchronous approach and departure of the two clamping blocks, and is powered by a cylinder structure. The structure is simple and the transmission is stable.
[0027] (10) This utility model is equipped with a lifting storage device, which has a positioning storage function. It can store multiple pieces of glue in a set position according to the number of boxes, saving space and transferring multiple pieces of glue at one time, thus improving packaging efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0037] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0038] (Example 1)
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated rubber block shaping conveyor includes a frame 1 and a conveying device 2, a servo drive device 3, and a shaping device mounted on top of the frame 1. The shaping device includes a lifting platform 4 and X-axis shaping mechanisms 5, Y-axis shaping mechanisms 6, and Z-axis shaping mechanisms 7 mounted on the lifting platform 4. The lifting platform 4 is movably mounted above the conveying device 2 via the servo drive device 3. A shaping area is formed between the X-axis shaping mechanisms 5, Y-axis shaping mechanisms 6, and Z-axis shaping mechanisms 7. The conveying device 2 moves the rubber block to the shaping area for shaping, and then the servo drive device 3 moves the shaping area to the next workstation following the conveying device 2. Compared to existing technologies, the shaping device can shape the rubber block at a set position on the conveying device 1 and then move it with the rubber block, ensuring that the rubber block maintains its shaped state during the subsequent conveying route of the conveying device 1, preventing deformation and improving its compatibility with packaging boxes.
[0040] Specifically, the conveying device 2 adopts a conventionally designed belt conveyor. The servo drive device 3 includes first guide rail assemblies 3-1 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying device 2. The two first guide rail assemblies 3-1 are fixed on the frame 1 and extend along the X-axis. A synchronous belt 3-2 is arranged parallel to the side of any one of the first guide rail assemblies 3-1. The two ends of the synchronous belt 3-2 are respectively driven by a driving assembly 3-3 and a driven assembly 3-4. The driving assembly 3-3 consists of a motor and a synchronous pulley fixed coaxially with the output shaft of the motor. The driven assembly 3-4 consists of a synchronous rod fixed on the frame and a synchronous pulley rotatably mounted on the synchronous rod. The synchronous belt 3-2 is wound around the two synchronous pulleys and is driven by the motor to realize the synchronous belt 3-2 to perform a winding motion.
[0041] The lifting platform 4 includes a main frame 4-1, a lifting cylinder 4-2, a first floating joint 4-3, and a lifting seat 4-4. The main frame 4-1 is a three-dimensional frame structure, erected above the conveying device 2. Its bottom is fixedly connected to the slider of the first guide rail assembly 3-1, and is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 3-2 through a tensioning seat, thereby realizing the vertical translation along the length direction of the first guide rail assembly 3-1. The lifting cylinder 4-2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the main frame 4-1, with its piston rod set vertically downward and connected to the first floating joint 4-3 and the lifting seat 4-4 in sequence, thereby driving the lifting seat 4-4 to move up and down. The X-axis shaping mechanism 5, the Y-axis shaping mechanism 6, and the Z-axis shaping mechanism 7 are all located on the lifting seat 4-4, thereby realizing the lifting of the shaping area and allowing the rubber block to smoothly enter the shaping area. The first guide rail assembly 3-1 is also fixedly equipped with oppositely arranged limit seats 3-5 at both ends. When the lifting platform 4 reaches the limit position of its stroke, the limit seats 3-5 can physically prevent it from continuing to move forward, thereby avoiding damage or failure caused by exceeding the allowable range and improving the safety of equipment use.
[0042] The Y-axis shaping mechanism 6 includes a hanger 6-1, a Y-axis drive assembly, a second guide rail assembly 6-2, and clamping plates 6-3. The Y-axis drive assembly includes a cylinder mounting bracket 6-4, a Y-axis cylinder 6-5, a gear 6-6, a third floating joint 6-7, a connecting seat 6-8, and a rack 6-9. The hanger 6-1 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the lifting seat 4-4. A pair of second guide rail assemblies 6-2 are provided, each fixedly mounted on the bottom of the hanger 6-1 and extending along the Y-axis direction. A pair of clamping plates 6-3 are provided, located below the second guide rail assemblies 6-2 and extending along the X-axis direction. The two clamping plates 6-3 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders on the two guide rail assemblies 6-2, realizing a sliding connection with the hanger 6-1. The cylinder mounting bracket 6-4 is fixedly mounted on the top center of the hanger 6-1. The Y-axis cylinder 6-5 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder mounting bracket. The output shaft is horizontally arranged along the Y-axis and connected to one of the clamping plates 6-3 in sequence through the third floating joint 6-7 and the connecting seat 6-8, realizing the Y-axis movement of the clamping plate. The gear 6-6 is rotatably suspended at the bottom of the cylinder mounting bracket 6-4. A pair of racks 6-9 are arranged in parallel along the Y-axis and both mesh with the gears 6-6. The opposite ends of the two racks 6-9 are fixedly connected to the two clamping plates respectively, and the other end is a free end, thereby realizing the transmission of the two clamping plates 6-3, and thus realizing their approach or distance from each other, shaping the Y-axis side of the rubber block.
[0043] The X-axis shaping mechanism 5 includes a pull tube 5-1, a baffle 5-2, an X-axis cylinder 5-3, a third floating joint 5-4, and a push plate 5-5. Two pull tubes 5-1 are arranged parallel to each other along the X-axis and are fixedly mounted on the top sides of the hanger 6-1. Two baffles 5-2 are arranged symmetrically at both ends of the pull tubes 5-1 along the Y-axis. The X-axis cylinder 5-3 is fixedly mounted on one of the baffles 5-2. The piston rod is horizontally arranged along the X-axis and connected to the push plate 5-5 through the third floating joint 5-4, thereby driving the push plate 5-5 to move closer to the other baffle 5-2, thus shaping the X-axis side of the rubber block. To improve the structural strength of the baffle 5-2, a reinforcing plate 5-6 is added to the outer side of the baffle 5-2 in this embodiment to prevent deformation and extend its service life.
[0044] The Z-axis shaping mechanism 7 includes a pressure plate 7-1 and Z-axis cylinders 7-2 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lifting seat 4-4. A second floating joint 7-3 connects the pressure plate 7-1 and the two Z-axis cylinders 7-2. The pressure plate 7-1 is simultaneously driven to rise and fall by the two Z-axis cylinders 7-2 to shape the top of the rubber block, improve the uniformity of the force on the pressure plate 7-1, and thus avoid the tilting of the upper surface of the rubber block caused by the tilting of the pressure plate during the pressing process.
[0045] To improve production efficiency, this embodiment adds a lifting and storage device 8 at the end of the conveying device 2. The lifting and storage device 8 includes a base plate 8-1 fixed on the frame 1. A lifting cylinder 8-2 is fixed at the bottom of the base plate 8-1. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 8-2 extends vertically upward through the base plate 8-1 and is connected in sequence to a fourth floating joint 8-3 and a top plate 8-4. When the rubber block is conveyed by the conveying device to the area below the shaping device, the lifting platform moves, the baffle 5-2 descends to the conveying plane, and then the X-axis cylinder 5-3 presses the X-axis side of the rubber block via the push plate 5-5. At the same time, the Y-axis shaping mechanism 6 and the Z-axis shaping mechanism 7 both move to shape the rubber block. After shaping, the lifting platform 4, under the action of the servo transmission device 3, moves synchronously along the conveying direction following the shaped rubber block, keeping the rubber block from deforming, until it is conveyed to the top plate 8-4. The top plate then descends (8-4) to await the next adhesive block, thus achieving the positioning and storage function. This allows for the storage of multiple adhesive blocks at a set location based on the number of boxes, saving space and improving packaging efficiency by transferring multiple blocks at once. To enhance the stability of various linear movements, guide components are symmetrically provided on both sides of the lifting cylinder, X-axis cylinder, and top-lifting cylinder in this embodiment, improving the stability of the corresponding linear movements.
