[0019] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment provides an automatic lane-changing device, including a conveying platform 1 and a lane-changing mechanism. The conveying platform 1 is used to transport products. A feeding channel 11 is provided at the first end of the conveying platform 1, and a boxing channel 12 and a film-wrapping channel 13 are provided at the second end of the conveying platform 1. A support frame is mounted on the conveying platform 1. The lane-changing mechanism includes lane divider baffles 4, a moving frame 2, and a drive assembly 3. Several lane divider baffles 4 are arranged parallel to each other and form lane dividers that correspond one-to-one with the feeding channels 11 between each pair. The upper end of each lane divider baffle 4 is connected to the moving frame 2, which is movably mounted on the support frame. The drive assembly 3... Component 3 is used to drive the motion frame 2 to move linearly along the support, causing the channel baffle 4 to rotate. The channel baffle enables the connection between the feeding channel 11 and the packing channel 12 or the film wrapping channel 13. The drive component 2 is mounted on the support, and the conveyor platform 1 is equipped with a transmission belt structure for transporting products. In order to improve the docking accuracy, corresponding position sensors can also be set on the packing channel 12, the film wrapping channel 13 and the channel baffle 4. The position sensors are connected to the controller, and the controller controls the working state of the drive component 3. The position sensors include, but are not limited to, photoelectric sensors or laser sensors.

[0020] In this embodiment, the support includes upright plates and sliding shaft 5. The two upright plates are respectively installed on the conveying platform 1. The two ends of the sliding shaft 5 are connected to the two upright plates. The sliding shaft 5 is provided with retaining rings 51 for limiting the maximum range of motion of the motion frame 2. The motion frame 2 is slidably installed on the sliding shaft 5.

[0021] Furthermore, a bearing seat is installed at the upper end of the motion frame 2, the sliding shaft 5 passes through the bearing seat, and a bearing is provided between the sliding shaft 5 and the bearing seat.

[0022] Furthermore, the drive assembly 3 is a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, and the push rod end of the pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder is connected to one of the bearing seats by a connector. Of course, provided that linear drive is satisfied, the drive assembly 3 can also be an electric push rod.

[0023] In this embodiment, the driving component 3 is a lead screw and slider module, and the slider of the lead screw and slider module is connected to the motion frame 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the conveying platform 1 is equipped with a positioning frame, and the positioning frame is equipped with positioning rods that correspond one-to-one with the lane divider 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lower end of the motion frame 2 is provided with an opening, and a guide rod corresponding to the lane baffle 4 is provided in the opening. A linear bearing seat is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, and a bearing is provided between the linear bearing seat and the guide rod.

[0026] The working process of this utility model:

[0027] During operation, when beverages or mineral water are conveyed to the feeding channel 11, they flow to the distribution channel under the transmission action of the transmission platform 1. The distribution channel can be connected to the film packaging channel 13 or the boxing channel 12 according to packaging requirements. When it is necessary to switch the docking position of the distribution channel, the drive component 3, taking the cylinder as an example, pushes the bearing seat connected to the motion frame 2 to move linearly along the sliding shaft 5. After the motion frame 2 moves, it drives the distribution baffle 4 to rotate, so that the outlet of the distribution channel is aligned with the corresponding film packaging channel 13 or boxing channel 12. Beverages or mineral water are conveyed from the feeding channel and the distribution channel to the film packaging channel 13 or boxing channel 12 that requires packaging, and finally flow from the film packaging channel 13 or boxing channel 12 to the corresponding film packaging or boxing packaging process for film packaging or boxing packaging.

[0028] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
