TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat insulation pad packing equipment, and specifically relates to a foam sorting and feeding device. BACKGROUND
[0002] When packing heat insulation pads, in order to avoid damage to the edges of the heat insulation pads, foam is generally attached to the side edges of the heat insulation pads, and then the heat insulation pads and the foam are packed together by using a packing device. The existing heat insulation pad automatic packing device has the problems of low foam loading efficiency and poor foam loading precision, mainly because the orientation of the foam is uncertain when it is grabbed. To solve the above problems, the applicant provides a foam sorting and feeding device for a heat insulation pad automatic packing device. SUMMARY
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a foam sorting and feeding device that can transport foam in a specific orientation from a hopper to a designated position to improve the packing effect of a heat insulation pad automatic packing device.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a foam sorting and feeding device, comprising a hopper, a discharging mechanism, and a sorting mechanism, the sorting mechanism comprising a first conveying assembly and a position-correcting guide-in assembly, a guide plate is arranged on the conveying surface of the first conveying assembly, the guide plate is arranged along the conveying direction and forms a guide channel, an output area is arranged on the conveying surface of the first conveying assembly at the outlet end of the guide channel, an input area is arranged at the inlet end of the guide channel, the input area is provided with the position-correcting guide-in assembly, the position-correcting guide-in assembly adjusts the orientation and position of the foam and guides the foam into the guide channel, and the discharging mechanism is arranged in the hopper and discharges the foam in the hopper to the input area in a specific orientation. The discharging mechanism sends the foam in the hopper to the sorting mechanism in a specific orientation, the sorting mechanism adjusts the orientation and position of the foam, and the foam is sent to a position suitable for being grabbed by a heat insulation pad packing device in a specific orientation, thereby facilitating automatic packing of the heat insulation pad.
[0005] As an optional scheme, the position-correcting guide-in assembly comprises a position-correcting inclined plate, the position-correcting inclined plate is arranged obliquely at the inlet end of the guide channel, the position-correcting inclined plate adjusts the orientation and position of the foam conveyed by the first conveying assembly and guides the foam into the guide channel. The position-correcting inclined plate cooperates with the first conveying assembly to adjust the orientation and position during the conveying of the foam by the first conveying assembly, so that the foam can enter the guide channel and be sent to a designated position.
[0006] As an optional solution, the first conveying assembly is arranged in the hopper or at the hopper opening of the hopper, and the guide plate forms a guide channel at the edge of the conveying surface of the first conveying assembly and makes the foam towards the wrong direction fall into the hopper. The foam should be in the state of moving along the guide channel after being rectified, and the length direction of the foam towards the right direction is parallel to the conveying direction, and the foam is conveyed by the first conveying assembly to move along the guide channel, while the foam towards the wrong direction falls into the hopper due to the gravity center being located outside the first conveying assembly when passing through the guide channel.
[0007] As an optional solution, the discharging mechanism comprises a second conveying assembly, the second conveying assembly is arranged in the hopper in an inclined manner, a plurality of material carrying plates are arranged on the conveying surface of the second conveying assembly in the conveying direction, and the distance between adjacent material carrying plates is less than the length of the foam. The second conveying assembly conveys the foam supported by the material carrying plates to the output area. Only the foam within a specific orientation range in the hopper can fall between the adjacent two material carrying plates and be discharged from the hopper by the second conveying assembly. Since the second conveying assembly is arranged in an inclined manner, the foam between the adjacent two material carrying plates finally becomes the state of being attached to the second conveying assembly and the material carrying plate during the conveying process, so that the foam can be output in a specific orientation by the second conveying assembly.
[0008] As an optional solution, the discharging mechanism further comprises a third conveying assembly, and the third conveying assembly is arranged in the hopper and conveys the foam to the second conveying assembly. By cooperating the second conveying assembly with the third conveying assembly, the foam in the hopper can be discharged in a specific orientation, and the labor intensity and operation difficulty of the operator are reduced.
[0009] As an optional solution, the discharging mechanism further comprises a fourth conveying assembly, and the fourth conveying assembly is arranged at the conveying end of the second conveying assembly and conveys the foam conveyed by the second conveying assembly to the input area.
[0010] As an optional solution, a transfer assembly and a waiting-out platform are arranged in the output area, and the transfer assembly transfers the foam discharged from the guide channel to the waiting-out platform.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The discharging mechanism can convey the foam in the hopper to the sorting mechanism in a specific orientation, the sorting mechanism can convey the foam in the specific orientation to a specified position, and the automatic packaging equipment for thermal insulation pads can grasp the foam in the specific orientation from the specified position and mount the foam on the thermal insulation pad, which not only facilitates the automatic packaging of the thermal insulation pad, but also improves the packaging effect of the thermal insulation pad.
[0013] 2. By utilizing the discharge channels on the third, second, and third conveying components within the hopper, the scattered and disordered foam in the hopper can be output in a specific orientation. When replenishing the hopper, operators only need to pour the foam into the hopper, without the need for sorting or other operations, which reduces the difficulty and labor intensity of the operators.
[0014] 3. The sorting mechanism can not only adjust the orientation of the foam conveying position, but also remove foam with misaligned orientation during the sorting process, so that the automatic packaging equipment for heat insulation pads can accurately grab foam with a specific orientation and ensure the packaging effect of the heat insulation pads.

[0020] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0021] A foam sorting and feeding device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it comprises a hopper 1, a discharging mechanism 2 and a sorting mechanism 3. The hopper 1 is a container for stacking the foam, the discharging mechanism 2 is arranged in the hopper 1, and the discharging mechanism 2 discharges the foam in the hopper 1 to the sorting mechanism 3 in a specific orientation, and the sorting mechanism 3 sorts the foam received in the specific orientation and sends it to a designated position suitable for cooperating with the automatic packaging equipment for thermal insulation pads.
[0022] Specifically, the sorting mechanism 3 comprises a first conveying assembly 31 and a position-correcting guide assembly. The conveying surface of the first conveying assembly 31 is provided with a guide plate 32, which is arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31. The guide plate 32 forms a guide channel on the conveying surface of the first conveying assembly 31, and the guide channel is arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31. The conveying surface of the first conveying assembly 31 is provided with an output area at the outlet end of the guide channel and an input area at the inlet end of the guide channel. The position-correcting guide assembly is arranged at the input area. The position-correcting guide assembly adjusts the orientation and position of each foam and corrects the foam in a specific orientation. Only the foam with correct orientation and position can be conveyed to the output area through the guide channel, and the relevant components of the automatic packaging equipment for thermal insulation pads can accurately grasp the foam in the specific orientation at the outlet end of the guide channel.
[0023] The width of the guide channel should only be suitable for a single foam to pass through. The foams in the input area are conveyed to the output area through the guide channel one by one, and the relevant components of the automatic packaging equipment for thermal insulation pads can accurately grasp each foam at the outlet end of the guide channel.
[0024] The position-correcting guide assembly comprises a position-correcting inclined plate 33, which is arranged at the inlet end of the guide channel. The foam fed to the input area by the discharging mechanism 2 is in a state perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31. During the conveying process of the first conveying assembly 31, the foam is in contact with the position-correcting inclined plate 33 and is adjusted in orientation and position by the position-correcting inclined plate 33. Finally, the foam is adjusted along the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31 by the position-correcting inclined plate 33, and is located in the position corresponding to the guide channel. The first conveying assembly 33 drives the foam to pass through the guide channel and reach the output area.
[0025] In some embodiments, the position-correcting guide assembly can comprise at least two position-correcting inclined plates 33, each of which is distributed along the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31, and each of which is sequentially offset in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The foam sequentially contacts each position-correcting inclined plate 33 and is adjusted in position and orientation by multiple position-correcting inclined plates 33. Under the conveying of the first conveying assembly 31, each position-correcting inclined plate 33 sequentially adjusts the orientation and position of the foam block, and adjusts the foam to the position along the conveying direction and corresponding to the guide channel.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the first conveying assembly 31 is arranged in the hopper 1 or at the hopper opening of the hopper 1, and the first conveying assembly 31 is adjacent to the guide channel between the edge inside the hopper 1 and the guide plate 32. Since the foam is a cuboid, after the foam is corrected by the correction inclined plate 33, the orientation of the foam should be parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31, and the position should correspond to the guide channel. The first conveying assembly 31 conveys the foam along the guide channel to the output area. When the orientation of the foam is incorrect, the orientation of the foam has a large deviation from the conveying direction. At this time, when the foam passes through the guide channel, since the part extending out of the guide channel is more, the center of gravity extends out of the guide channel and is located outside the first conveying assembly 31. Finally, the foam falls into the hopper 1.
[0027] Of course, in other embodiments, the position of the first conveying assembly 31 can be reasonably adjusted as needed, and the guide channel can also be formed by two guide plates 32.
[0028] In some embodiments, a transfer assembly 34 and a waiting-out platform are arranged in the output area. The transfer assembly 34 can be a telescopic component such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod, or can be a linear module. The waiting-out platform is arranged at a position suitable for the related components of the automatic packaging equipment of the heat insulation pad to grab the foam. The transfer assembly 34 transfers the foam guided out of the guide channel to the waiting-out platform. Arranging the waiting-out platform not only facilitates the automatic packaging equipment of the heat insulation pad to grab the foam, but also avoids the situation that the speed of the first conveying assembly 31 outputting the foam from the guide channel does not match the speed of the automatic packaging equipment of the heat insulation pad grabbing the foam, resulting in the first conveying assembly 31 being blocked by the foam and other situations.
[0029] In some embodiments, when the discharge mechanism 2 conveys the foam to the input area in an orientation parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31, the structure of the correction and guide-in assembly can be replaced and adjusted. Only the position of the foam needs to be adjusted during the conveying process of the first conveying assembly 31.
[0030] The discharge mechanism 2 comprises a second conveying assembly 21, which is a conveying device in the form of a belt conveyor, a chain plate conveyor or the like. The second conveying assembly 21 is obliquely arranged in the hopper 1. A plurality of material carrying plates 211 are arranged on the conveying surface of the second conveying assembly 21. The material carrying plates 211 are baffles or baffle rods, and are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 21. The spacing between adjacent material carrying plates 211 is greater than the width of the foam and less than the length of the foam. Only the foam that is not along the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 21 can fall between two adjacent material carrying plates 211 and be carried out of the hopper 1 by the second conveying assembly 21. During the process of being carried out of the hopper 1 by the second conveying assembly 21, the foam is attached to the conveying surface of the second conveying assembly 21 and is finally also attached to the material carrying plates 211. The second conveying assembly 21 discharges the foam in a state parallel to the conveying direction of the second conveying assembly 21 by means of the material carrying plates 211. The discharge end of the second conveying assembly 21 is arranged at the input area of the first conveying assembly 31. By reasonably arranging the second conveying assembly 21 and the first conveying assembly 31, the foam can be conveyed to the first conveying assembly 31 in a direction parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31, or in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31. Figures 1-3 In the example shown, the discharge mechanism 2 conveys the foam to the first conveying assembly 31 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying assembly 31.
[0031] In some embodiments, the discharge mechanism 2 further comprises a third conveying assembly 22, which is also a conveying device in the form of a belt conveyor or a chain plate conveyor. The third conveying assembly 22 is arranged in the hopper 1 and conveys the foam to the second conveying assembly 21. The third conveying assembly 22 is arranged at the bottom of the hopper 1, and the conveying head end of the second conveying assembly 21 is below the conveying tail end of the third conveying assembly 22. The third conveying assembly 22 continuously conveys the foam in the hopper 1 to the second conveying assembly 21. The operator only needs to periodically supplement the foam in the hopper 1, and does not need to adjust the orientation and position of the foam during the supplementing process, thereby effectively reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
[0032] In further embodiments, the discharge mechanism 2 further comprises a fourth conveying assembly 23, which is also a conveying device in the form of a belt conveyor, a chain plate conveyor or the like. The fourth conveying assembly 23 is arranged at the conveying tail end of the second conveying assembly 21 and transfers the foam conveyed by the second conveying assembly 21 to the input area. By using the fourth conveying assembly 23 as a transfer structure between the first conveying assembly 31 and the second conveying assembly 21, the space occupied by the first conveying assembly 31 in the hopper 1 can be reduced, and the structure of the discharge mechanism 2 is more reasonable.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 3The foam sorting and feeding device can automatically feed the foam in the silo 1 to a specified position with a specific orientation, the related components for feeding the foam into the heat insulation pad automatic packaging equipment can grab the foam with the specific orientation from the specified position, thereby improving the efficiency and precision of feeding the foam into the heat insulation pad, and further improving the packaging effect of the heat insulation pad.
