Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cream packaging technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency automatic cream stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] Whipping cream is the fat portion of cow's milk, specifically obtained by separating it from milk using skim milk. It caters to diverse consumer and market demands, making it convenient for consumers to purchase and use. Small packages of whipping cream typically range from 200 ml to 1 liter, suitable for home use or small catering establishments and easy to transport. They are also easily stored in refrigerators or other refrigeration equipment to ensure optimal preservation.

[0003] After being filled, whipped cream needs to be packed into boxes. Before packing, the filled cream needs to be stacked according to the specifications of the boxes so that the robotic arm can deliver the stacked cream into the boxes. Therefore, the cream needs to be stacked neatly. However, since the filled bottles are arranged in a line, they need to be re-stacked. To address this issue, we have proposed an efficient automatic whipped cream stacking device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a highly efficient automatic cream stacking device, which solves the problem of quickly stacking cream from the filling system and facilitating its gripping by a robotic arm.

[0005] This application provides a high-efficiency automatic cream stacking device, including a dispensing conveyor belt and a feeding conveyor belt, which are connected end to end. A sorting structure is installed on both the dispensing conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt. A feeding line is provided at the end of the dispensing conveyor belt away from the feeding conveyor belt. A dispensing structure is also provided on the dispensing conveyor belt. An adjustable baffle is provided at the end of the feeding conveyor belt away from the dispensing conveyor belt.

[0006] Preferably, the system further includes a detection frame disposed on the feeding conveyor belt, the detection frame spanning the feeding conveyor belt, and a plurality of first sensing sensors disposed on the detection frame, the first sensing sensors corresponding to the sorting structure.

[0007] Preferably, the sorting structure includes multiple movable limiting plates, and a moving space is formed between two adjacent limiting plates.

[0008] Preferably, brackets are installed on both sides of the distribution conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt, and two opposing brackets form a group. Support rods are installed on the two brackets in the same group. The support rods are threaded rods. Multiple connecting plates corresponding to the support rods are provided on the limiting plate. Limiting grooves are provided on the connecting plates. The limiting grooves correspond to the support rods. Fastening nuts are also provided on both sides of the connecting plates.

[0009] Preferably, the distribution structure includes a mounting frame fixed to one side of the distribution conveyor belt, an electric telescopic rod is mounted on the mounting frame, the electric telescopic rod passes through one side of the mounting frame and is equipped with an adjustment frame, and a second sensing sensor is provided at both ends of the adjustment frame.

[0010] Preferably, a guide rod is also provided on one side of the adjustment frame, and the guide rod passes through the mounting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the baffle is provided with a groove corresponding to the edge of the feeding conveyor belt, and fastening screws are provided on both sides of the baffle, the fastening screws extending into the groove.

[0012] Preferably, both the distribution conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt are roller conveyor belts.

[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the limiting plate is 1 mm.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a highly efficient automatic cream stacking device. In use, the position of the baffle is adjusted according to the amount gripped by the robotic arm at one time. When the feeding line is discharging normally, the material is first sent to the distribution structure. When the number of bottles in the distribution structure reaches a specified amount, they move to the corresponding sorting structure. The distribution conveyor belt starts and moves the bottles into the sorting structure, completing the distribution work at multiple positions in sequence. Then, the distribution conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt start simultaneously, sending all the material on the distribution conveyor belt to the feeding conveyor belt, completing one batch of feeding. The bottles on the feeding conveyor belt move to the end of the feeding conveyor belt, are limited by the baffle, and arranged on the feeding conveyor belt. The robotic arm grips and sends them to the packaging box. Then, the feeding conveyor belt starts again to move the bottles to the side that touches the baffle, thus completing the automatic stacking of the bottles.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. By setting up a distribution conveyor belt and a distribution structure, the distribution structure belt is used to sort materials according to the stacking requirements, and the distribution conveyor belt is used for distribution movement to ensure the orderly sorting of the transmission belt.

[0017] 2. By allocating conveyor belts and feeding conveyor belts, during the conveying process, the columns are first sorted, and then the entire package is conveyed, stacking and conveying the packaging bottles as required.

[0018] 3. Through the setting of the sorting structure, after the sorting is completed by the distribution conveyor belt, the sorted packaging bottles are neatly arranged by the sorting structure according to the required number of rows, and then uniformly transported by the feeding conveyor belt.

[0019] 4. By setting up the baffle, the number of bottles to be picked up or put down at one time can be determined based on the number of bottles that are moved out and hit the baffle.

[0020] In summary, this application, through the configuration of the conveyor belt, enables the conveyor belt to automatically divide a single row of packaging bottles into multiple rows according to row and column requirements, and then transport them according to the number of columns. The automatic boxing robot can quickly box according to the demand, improving the automatic stacking efficiency of whipped cream and the subsequent boxing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See Figure 1-4This application discloses a high-efficiency automatic cream stacking device. The device facilitates the stacking of cream packaging for easy gripping by a robotic arm. Specifically, it includes a distribution conveyor belt 1 and a feeding conveyor belt 2, wherein the length of the feeding conveyor belt 2 is significantly greater than the length of the distribution conveyor belt 1. The distribution conveyor belt 1 and the feeding conveyor belt 2 are connected end-to-end, allowing material on the distribution conveyor belt 1 to be directly fed onto the feeding conveyor belt 2. Both the distribution conveyor belt 1 and the feeding conveyor belt 2 are roller conveyor belts, and a sorting structure is installed on both of them. Figure 1 The sorting structure shown divides the cream packaging into multiple columns, corresponding to multiple columns that the robotic arm can grasp. During the specific allocation, a feeding line 3 is set at the end of the allocation conveyor belt 1 away from the feeding conveyor belt 2. The feeding line 3 delivers the cream packaging from the filling stage to the allocation conveyor belt 1. The allocation conveyor belt 1 is also equipped with a allocation structure, which allocates the cream packaging to the sorting structure for conveying. During the conveying process, an adjustable baffle 9 is set at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 away from the allocation conveyor belt 1. When the cream packaging touches the baffle 9 during the conveying process of the feeding conveyor belt 2, the conveying is completed. The number of cream packaging removed from the sorting structure by the feeding conveyor belt 2 is the number grasped by the robotic arm. This application can quickly complete the automatic stacking according to the grasping requirements.

[0029] This utility model also includes a detection frame 6 set on the feeding conveyor belt 2. The detection frame 6 spans the feeding conveyor belt 2 and is used to detect whether the quantity of cream packaging is in place. Specifically, the detection frame 6 is equipped with multiple first sensing sensors 7. The first sensing sensors 7 correspond to the sorting structure. The first sensing sensors 7 detect whether the quantity of packaging from the sorting structure meets the standard. Only after meeting the standard will the packing work be carried out to avoid packing errors.

[0030] In this utility model, the sorting structure includes multiple movable limiting plates 4, and a moving space is formed between two adjacent limiting plates 4 to arrange the cream packaging in an orderly manner for the orderly movement of the cream packaging during the conveying process. The specific number is set according to the packaging requirements. In order to reduce the spacing between the packaging, the thickness of the limiting plate 4 is 1mm, the spacing between the packaging is small, and the packaging is stacked tightly and neatly during the conveying process.

[0031] In the adjustable type, brackets 8 are installed on both sides of the distribution conveyor belt 1 and the feeding conveyor belt 2. Two opposing brackets 8 form a group. The brackets 8 are fixed on the conveyor belt. Support rods 5 are installed on the two brackets 8 in the same group. There are multiple support rods 5. The specific spacing is determined according to the support strength of the support rods 5 without deformation. The support rods 5 are threaded rods. Multiple connecting plates 13 corresponding to the support rods 5 are provided on the limiting plate 4. The connecting plates 13 are on the support rods 5 and can be adjusted along the axial distance of the support rods 5. The connecting plates 13 are provided with limiting grooves 12. The limiting grooves 12 correspond to the support rods 5. The connecting plates 13 are installed on the support rods 5 through the limiting grooves 12 to further prevent the connecting plates 13 from sliding. Fastening nuts 11 are also provided on both sides of the connecting plates 13. The fastening nuts 11 are screwed on the support rods 5. When the position of the connecting plate 13 is confirmed, it is fixed by the fastening nuts 11 to reduce the movement of the connecting plate 13, thereby positioning the limiting plate 4.

[0032] In this invention, the distribution structure includes a mounting frame 15 fixed to one side of the distribution conveyor belt 1. An electric telescopic rod 14 is mounted on the mounting frame 15. Each displacement of the electric telescopic rod 14 is equal to the distance between two limiting plates 4. The electric telescopic rod 14 passes through one side of the mounting frame 15 and is fitted with an adjusting frame 17. The cream package delivered by the feeding line 3 first enters the adjusting frame 17, and then the electric telescopic rod 14 pushes the adjusting frame 17 to the corresponding moving space. It is then conveyed into the moving space by the distribution conveyor belt 1. Since the length of the feeding conveyor belt 2 is much longer than that of the distribution conveyor belt 1... The length is such that after the cream packaging conveyed by the feeding conveyor belt 2 comes into contact with the cream packaging on the dispensing conveyor belt 1, it stops moving, and the dispensing conveyor belt 1 also stops running, waiting for the next dispensing conveyor. Both ends of the adjusting frame 17 are equipped with second sensing sensors 18. The second sensing sensor 18 on the side closer to the feeding line 3 is used to detect whether the number of packages is in place, and is used to control the start and stop of the feeding line 3 and the control of the electric telescopic rod 14. The second sensing sensor 18 on the side farther away from the feeding line 3 is used to detect whether all the packages have been moved out of the adjusting frame 17, ensuring the normal reset of the adjusting frame 17 and the next dispensing.

[0033] To further improve the stability of the adjustment frame 17, a guide rod 16 is provided on one side of the adjustment frame 17. The guide rod 16 passes through the mounting frame 15, thereby improving the stability of the adjustment frame 17 during movement.

[0034] In this invention, the bottom of the baffle 9 is provided with a groove 19 corresponding to the edge of the feeding conveyor belt 2. The baffle 9 can move at the edge of the feeding conveyor belt 2 through the groove 19, so that the position of the baffle 9 can be set according to the grasping quantity, so that the grasping quantity is achieved after the cream package comes into contact with the baffle 9. After the baffle 9 is adjusted, fastening screws 10 are provided on both sides of the baffle 9. The fastening screws 10 extend into the groove 19. Tightening the fastening screws 10 to contact the feeding conveyor belt 2 can fix the baffle 9.

[0035] As can be seen from the above technical solution, when using this application, the position of the baffle 9 is adjusted according to the amount grabbed by the robotic arm at one time. When the feeding line 3 is discharging normally, the material is first sent to the distribution structure. When the number of packaging bottles in the distribution structure reaches the specified number, they are moved to the corresponding sorting structure. The distribution conveyor belt 1 is started to move the packaging bottles into the sorting structure, and the distribution work of multiple positions is completed in sequence. Then the distribution conveyor belt 1 and the feeding conveyor belt 2 are started at the same time, and all the material on the distribution conveyor belt 1 is sent to the feeding conveyor belt 2 to complete one batch of feeding. The packaging bottles on the feeding conveyor belt 2 are moved to the end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 and are arranged on the feeding conveyor belt 2 by the baffle 9. They are then grabbed by the robotic arm and sent to the packaging box. Then the feeding conveyor belt 2 is started again to move the packaging bottles to the side that touches the baffle 9, thereby completing the automatic stacking of the packaging bottles.
