Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for heat sealing machines, specifically to a feeding and sorting device for heat sealing machines. Background Technology
[0002] A heat sealing machine is a machine that uses heat to close product packaging, achieving a sealed state. It is commonly used for plastic heat sealing, plastic melting, packaging bag heat sealing, plastic welding, and more. Before heat sealing begins, materials are fed into the heat sealing head of the machine via a conveyor belt. The heat sealing head then heat seals two or more materials, forming a single unit. However, during transport, factors such as the conveyor speed and levelness can cause materials that were originally neatly arranged to shift, resulting in deviations after heat sealing. Therefore, this paper proposes a material feeding and sorting device for heat sealing machines. Utility Model Content

[0030] The heat sealing machine body 1 has a heat sealing end 4 installed in the inner cavity above the feeding mechanism 3, and the front and rear side walls of the heat sealing machine body 1 have openings for the feeding mechanism 3 to pass through.
[0031] The feeding mechanism 3 includes two side plates 31 arranged in a left-right mirror symmetrical manner, a plate conveyor belt 32 arranged between the side plates 31, and a front camera 22 fixed on the left side wall of the side plate 31 for driving the plate conveyor belt 32. The material to be heat-sealed is placed on the upper surface of the plate conveyor belt 32.
[0032] The material uniformity monitoring mechanism 2 includes two gantry frames 21 fixed on the side wall of the side plate 31 and located above the feeding mechanism 3. A front camera 22 is fixed at the bottom of the front gantry frame 21, a rear camera 24 is fixed at the bottom of the rear gantry frame 21, and a top plate 23 is fixed on the top surface of the gantry frame 21.
[0033] The material sorting assembly 5 includes a support plate 56 fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 23, a back plate 51 fixed to the left side of the support plate 56, and a connecting plate 54 slidably disposed on the front side of the back plate 51. A servo motor 55 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 54. The output shaft of the servo motor 55 is connected to a lead screw 510 through a coupling. A nut 511 is provided on the outer thread of the lead screw 510. A movable block 513 is fixed to the left side of the nut 511. An electrically controlled gripper 512 is fixed on the left side wall of the movable block 513.
[0034] Each of the left ends of the plate conveyor belt 32 is connected to a sprocket, with chains connecting the sprockets. The left end of the foremost plate conveyor belt 32 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 33 via a coupling. The gantry frames 21 are all inverted U-shapes. The inner end faces of the gantry frames 21 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the left and right plate conveyor belts 32, respectively, and the gantry frames 21 are spaced 20-40cm apart. A servo motor 57 is fixed to the rear right surface of the back plate 51. Synchronous pulleys 58 are rotatably connected to the front and rear positions of the left side surface of the back plate 51. The left end of the rear synchronous pulley 58 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 57 via a coupling.
[0035] A slide rail 52 is fixed at both the top and bottom of the right side surface of the back plate 51, and a slider 53 is slidably arranged in the slide rail 52.

[0037] During the operation of the plate conveyor belt 32 driven by the drive motor 33, the materials placed on the plate conveyor belt 32 will pass through the material neatness monitoring mechanism 2. After the front camera 22 detects that the materials are in a neat state, the controller will release the materials. Conversely, the controller stops the operation of the feeding mechanism 3 and places the materials between the two gantry frames 21. At this time, the material sorting component 5 sorts the materials according to the image uploaded by the front camera 22. After the servo motor 57 rotates the synchronous wheel 58, the synchronous belt 59 will drive the upper slider 53 to move back and forth, thereby driving the electric gripper 512 to move back and forth. After the servo motor 55 drives the lead screw 510 to rotate, the lead screw nut 511 moves up and down, and makes the electric gripper 512 move closer to or away from the materials. At this time, the electric gripper 512 clamps the materials and adjusts their position to avoid the materials from tipping over or shifting during transportation.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
