Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a production material unpacking and conveying device, in particular to a bagged material unpacking device for stacking. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a warehouse, powdery / granular materials are packed in standard bags (e.g. valve bags, paper-plastic composite bags, etc.) and stacked in layers. When the materials are to be put into production, a warehouse logistics device with high degree of mechanization can be used to extract the bags layer by layer, unpack them, and finally put the materials into the production process. The unpacking device is widely used in the food processing industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, and building material industry.

[0003] In the design and use of the unpacking device, the main problems to be solved are the smoothness of the production process and the stability of the operation. The smoothness of the production process is related to the production site and the production object. In the design process, the positions of the device nodes and the conveying mode between them can be designed according to the logistics and pedestrian channel conditions of the site. The stability of the operation is mainly related to the reliability of the device and the specific production object. For the bags stacked in layers, the main factor affecting the stability of the production is the neatness of the bag stacking. Because the mechanical device is relatively "rigid", its adaptability and adjustment capability are far inferior to manual operation. At the same time, in the design process of the unpacking device, the operation quality, such as whether the unloading is complete and whether the bag recovery is convenient, also needs to be considered. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a bagged material unpacking device for stacking to solve the above problems. After the powdery / granular materials are unpacked automatically, they can be sent to the next process by the conveying device, realizing easy unpacking and feeding operation.

[0005] A bagged material unpacking device for stacking includes a rack, a conveying belt connected to the rack, a tray recovery device, a grabbing device, a material dropping device, and a bag recovery device.

[0006] The conveying belt is installed at the bottom of the rack and runs horizontally. A horizontal track is installed at the top of the rack, and the running direction of the conveying belt is perpendicular to the length direction of the track. The feature is that the end point of the conveying belt is below the head of the track.

[0007] The tray recovery device is located at the starting point of the conveying belt. The starting point and the end point of the conveying belt are the feeding positions of the trays loaded with the bags.

[0008] The top of the grabbing device is connected to the track through a walking beam, and the grabbing device walks along the track. The bag recovery device is below the tail of the track, and the material dropping device is below the middle of the track.

[0009] The bottom of the material gripping device has a mechanical gripper for gripping the entire layer of material bags, and a bag cleaning device for removing empty bags in front of the mechanical gripper is installed in front of the mechanical gripper; the mechanical gripper is connected to the traveling truss through a lifting device.

[0010] A screen is installed above the feed inlet of the feeding device, a shaking device is installed above the screen, and a bag breaking device is installed behind the screen.

[0011] The bag cleaning device includes multiple parallel push rods, the top of which is rotatably connected to the body of the material gripping device via a crossbar. The crossbar is horizontal and perpendicular to the length of the track, and is connected to a rotation control device. When the material gripping device is in the forward state, the push rod is vertical, and when the material gripping device is in the backward state, the push rod is horizontal.

[0012] The bag-breaking device includes an electric rotating shaft and disc blades; multiple disc blades are vertically and parallelly connected to the electric rotating shaft, and the rotation axis of the electric rotating shaft passes through the center of each disc blade; the electric rotating shaft is horizontal and perpendicular to the length direction of the track.

[0013] The material shaking device includes shaking rods and shaking cylinders; there are multiple parallel shaking rods, and the shaking rods are "U-shaped"; the shaking rods are parallel to the length direction of the track; the bottom of the two vertical rods of the shaking rods are rotatably connected to a fixed rod, and the two fixed rods are distributed on the front and rear sides of the feed inlet, and the fixed rods are parallel to the rotation axis of the electric rotating shaft; the middle of the front vertical rod of each shaking rod is simultaneously rotatably connected to a pull rod, the pull rod is parallel to the fixed rod, the cylinder body of the shaking cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame corresponding to the end of the pull rod, and the piston rod of the shaking cylinder is rotatably connected to the end of the pull rod;

[0014] The trajectory formed by each push rod as it moves along with the material gripping device passes between adjacent disc blades and adjacent shaking rods.

[0015] Furthermore, the pallet recycling device includes a lifting frame and a support; the support stands on the ground in front of the conveyor belt, and the rear of the lifting frame is movably connected to the support; the lifting frame is above the conveyor belt; the middle position of the lifting frame is empty and corresponds to the outer dimensions of the pallet.

[0016] A set of telescopic pins is installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the lifting frame. The position of the telescopic pins corresponds to the position of the fork hole of the standard pallet. Each telescopic pin is connected to a push-pull electromagnetic switch at the end. Under the control of the push-pull electromagnetic switch, the telescopic pin extends or retracts. In the retracted state, the telescopic pin retracts into the lifting frame. In the extended state, the telescopic pin extends to the middle position of the lifting frame.

[0017] Pallet recycling devices can also use commercially available palletizing machines.

[0018] Furthermore, support rollers are connected to the rear of the bag-breaking device; there are multiple parallel support rollers, which are parallel to the electric rotating shaft; the height of each support roller increases from back to front, with the top of the foremost roller higher than the bottom of the disc blade. This structure supports the gripped material bag in advance, ensuring the bag is stable before breaking, thus avoiding poor bag breaking.

[0019] Furthermore, anti-collision blocks are installed on the frame at the front end of the track to prevent the material gripping device from falling.

[0020] Furthermore, outer casings are installed at the corresponding locations of the material unloading device and bag recycling device on the frame to prevent dust from being generated.

[0064] The material is conveyed by the conveying belt (to the right) to the designated position (i.e. below the grabbing device), and the grabbing device is lowered by the scissor-type lifter.

[0065] The grabbing device grabs the material, and then rises to the top.

[0066] The grabbing device carries the whole layer of material bag along the track to the material dropping device.
