Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wool strip baling machine technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a wool strip baling machine. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing wool strip baling machine mainly includes a frame structure consisting of a base, a support column and a top plate, and a box that can be raised and lowered relative to the base. The upper and lower ends of the box are provided with through slots, and multiple box doors are hinged to the surface of the box. The box is driven by a first hydraulic cylinder, and a second hydraulic cylinder is provided below the top plate. The second hydraulic cylinder is connected to a pressure plate.

[0003] In use, packaging bags need to be manually placed on the base and pressure plate respectively. Then, the box door is opened, and the small packages of wool strips from the transport vehicle are put into the box entrance one by one and arranged neatly. After all the wool strips are put in, the box door is closed, and the second hydraulic cylinder is activated to drive the pressure plate downward. The pressure plate enters the box through the through slot, thereby compressing the fluffy wool strips into a square shape, reducing the volume and facilitating transportation. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder drives the box to rise, exposing the wool strips. The packaging bags on the pressure plate and support plate are unfolded to package the compressed wool strips. Finally, the support plate and wool strips are transported away by forklift.

[0004] Current technical problems: Typically, twenty to thirty wool strips are required for each compression. Manually placing so many wool strips into the box is labor-intensive and increases the risk of accidents due to prolonged work under the pressure plate. Therefore, it is essential to design a feeding mechanism that can replace manual labor in placing the wool strips into the box. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a feeding mechanism for a wool strip baling machine, so as to solve the technical problems of high manual labor intensity and easy safety risks in the feeding of existing wool strip baling machines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a wool strip baling machine, used to feed wool strips from the inlet of the baling machine housing into the housing, comprising:

[0007] A gripper for gripping wool slivers, the gripper having a gripping hand that can be raised and lowered in a vertical direction, the gripping hand being used to grip or release wool slivers;

[0008] A first motion mechanism is used to drive the gripper to reciprocate along a first path;

[0009] The second motion mechanism is used to drive the first motion mechanism to reciprocate along the second path, thereby synchronously driving the gripper to move. The first path and the second path are projected in the same horizontal plane and intersect each other. Thus, through the three-axis motion structure composed of the first motion mechanism, the second motion mechanism and the gripper, the wool strip can be placed into the box from the entrance of the box in a preset arrangement.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the packaging machine includes:

[0011] The base and a detachable support plate mounted on the base for supporting the weatherstripping;

[0012] Several pillars extending upward along the edge of the base;

[0013] A top plate located at the top of the support column;

[0014] A first hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the base at its bottom end, and the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder is connected to a fixed block located on the outside of the housing.

[0015] A second hydraulic cylinder with its bottom end located at the lower end of the top plate;

[0016] A pressure plate is connected to the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder. The pressure plate is adapted to a through slot opened at the top of the housing. The second hydraulic cylinder can drive the pressure plate from the through slot into the housing, thereby compressing the wool strip placed in the housing.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the gripper is an electric hoist, and the gripper hand is a robotic arm connected to the cable of the electric hoist.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first motion mechanism includes: a sliding plate and a first guide rail disposed at the lower end of the sliding plate, the first guide rail being used to cooperate with the electric hoist so that it can move along the width direction of the box.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the second motion mechanism includes:

[0020] The support provided on the support column has two supports arranged opposite to each other;

[0021] A second guide rail is provided at the lower end of the two brackets. The second guide rail is arranged along the length of the box body. The second guide rail slides in cooperation with the groove opened on the surface of the slide plate.

[0022] A drive structure for driving the slide plate to slide along the second guide rail.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving structure includes:

[0024] A motor located at one end of the bracket;

[0025] A lead screw is rotatably connected to the bracket at one end, and the lead screw is adapted to a lead screw groove opened in the slide plate. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the other end of the lead screw. The bracket, the lead screw and the second guide rail together form a hollow area, which is used for the pressure plate to pass through.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bracket is connected to a mounting plate, the surface of the mounting plate is provided with a first bolt hole, a bolt is provided in the first bolt hole, and the other end of the bolt is engaged with a second bolt hole provided on the surface of the support column.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front end of the box is provided with a dispensing port, and the surface of the box is hinged to several boxes, through which the dispensing port can be closed.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a first motion mechanism and a second motion mechanism, this utility model can drive the gripper to move to any position on the horizontal plane. At the same time, the gripper can drive the gripper hand to rise and fall, thus ensuring that after the gripper grabs the strips, it can place the strips into the designated position in the box according to the preset arrangement. This replaces manual feeding of the strips into the box and completes automatic feeding. Due to the use of automatic feeding, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced to the greatest extent. At the same time, the workers are far away from the main body of the packaging machine, which can effectively reduce the probability of safety hazards and improve safety. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a feeding mechanism for a wool strip baling machine is used to feed wool strips from the inlet of the baling machine housing 4 into the housing 4. The mechanism includes: a gripper for gripping the wool strips, the gripper having a gripping hand that can be raised and lowered vertically, the gripping hand being used to grip or release the wool strips; a first motion mechanism for driving the gripper to reciprocate along a first path; and a second motion mechanism for driving the first motion mechanism to reciprocate along a second path, thereby synchronously driving the gripper to move. The first path and the second path are projected onto the same horizontal plane and intersect each other. Thus, through the three-axis motion structure composed of the first motion mechanism, the second motion mechanism, and the gripper, the wool strips can be placed into the housing 4 from the inlet of the housing 4 according to a preset arrangement.

[0038] The above-mentioned technical solution can replace manual feeding of wool strips into the box 4. In use, the worker stands away from the pressure plate 10 and operates the control panel, so that the gripper controls the gripper to grab the wool strips on the transport vehicle. The first motion mechanism is activated to drive the gripper to move along the width of the box 4, so that the gripper and the gripper with the wool strips loaded into the box 4 through the inlet. The gripper lowers the gripper, the gripper releases the wool strips, and the wool strips remain at the bottom of the box 4. The gripper drives the gripper to rise and reset. Then the first motion mechanism drives the gripper to leave the box 4 from the inlet and continues to grab other wool strips on the transport vehicle. The second motion mechanism can drive the gripper to move along the length of the box 4, so that the wool strips can be stacked layer by layer to fill the box 4, thus completing the feeding. Because automatic feeding is used, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced to the minimum. At the same time, the workers are away from the main body of the baling machine, which can effectively reduce the probability of safety hazards and improve safety.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the packing machine includes: a base 1 and a support plate 2 detachably disposed on the base 1 for supporting the wool strips; a plurality of pillars 7 extending upward along the edge of the base 1; a top plate 8 disposed at the top of the pillars 7; a first hydraulic cylinder 3 with its bottom end disposed on the base 1, the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3 being connected to a fixing block 23 disposed on the outside of the box body 4; a second hydraulic cylinder 9 with its bottom end disposed at the lower end of the top plate 8; and a pressure plate 10 connected to the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 9, the pressure plate 10 being adapted to a through groove 5 opened at the top of the box body 4, and the pressure plate 10 being driven by the second hydraulic cylinder 9 to enter the box body 4 from the through groove 5, thereby compressing the wool strips placed in the box body 4;

[0040] The above technical solution can compress and package wool strips to reduce their volume and facilitate transportation. In use, a person manually places a packaging bag on the base 1 and the pressure plate 10, then opens the door 6 of the box 4, allowing the gripper to put the wool strips into the box 4 through the through slot 5 and arrange them neatly. After all the wool strips are put in, the second hydraulic cylinder 9 is activated to drive the pressure plate 10 downward. The pressure plate 10 enters the box 4 through the through slot 5, thereby compressing the fluffy wool strips into a square shape, reducing their volume and facilitating transportation. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the box 4 upward, exposing the wool strips. The packaging bag on the pressure plate 10 and the support plate 2 is then unfolded to package the compressed wool strips. Finally, a forklift is used to transport the support plate 2 along with the wool strips.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the gripper is an electric hoist 21, and the gripper is a robotic arm 22 connected to the cable of the electric hoist 21.

[0042] The above technical solution enables the electric hoist 21 to drive the robotic arm 22 to rise and fall. The robotic arm 22 can automatically grab and release the wool strip without manual fixing, which is highly efficient.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first motion mechanism includes: a slide plate 15 and a first guide rail 20 disposed at the lower end of the slide plate 15. The first guide rail 20 is used to cooperate with the electric hoist 21 so that it can move along the width direction of the box body 4.

[0044] The above technical solution enables the electric hoist 21 to slide along the first guide rail 20. Since the first guide rail 20 is parallel to the width direction of the box 4, the electric hoist 21 can drive the robot arm 22 to move along the width direction of the box 4.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second motion mechanism includes: a bracket 11 mounted on the support column 7, two brackets 11 arranged opposite to each other; a second guide rail 14 located at the lower ends of the two brackets 11, the second guide rail 14 being arranged along the length of the housing 4, the second guide rail 14 being slidably engaged with a groove 16 formed on the surface of the slide plate 15; and a drive structure for driving the slide plate 15 to slide along the second guide rail 14. Specifically, the drive structure includes: a motor 17 located at one end of the bracket 11; a lead screw 18 rotatably connected to the bracket 11 at one end, the lead screw 18 being adapted to a lead screw groove 19 formed in the slide plate 15, the output shaft of the motor 17 being fixedly connected to the other end of the lead screw 18, the bracket 11, the lead screw 18, and the second guide rail 14 together forming a hollow area, the hollow area being used for the pressure plate 10 to pass through.

[0046] The above technical solution can indirectly drive the robot arm 22 to move along the length of the box 4 by driving the first guide rail 20, so that the robot arm 22 can reach any position in the same horizontal plane. When in use, the motor 17 is started to drive the lead screw 18 to rotate. The lead screw 18 cooperates with the lead screw groove 19 on the surface of the slide plate 15, thereby driving the slide groove 16 on the surface of the slide plate 15 to slide along the second guide rail 14. Since the sliding of the second guide rail 14 is parallel to the length of the box 4, it can drive the slide plate 15 to move along the length of the box 4. The slide plate 15 drives the electric hoist 21 and the robot arm 22 connected to it to move along the length of the box 4. The hollow area can ensure that the feeding mechanism will not interfere with the movement of the pressure plate 10 when it is not working.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 11 is connected to the mounting plate 12, the surface of the mounting plate 12 is provided with a first bolt hole, a bolt 13 is provided in the first bolt hole, and the other end of the bolt 13 is engaged with a second bolt hole provided on the surface of the support column 7.

[0048] The above technical solution enables the bracket 11 and the support column 7 to be connected by bolts, which helps to detachably install the device on existing packing machines.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the front end of the box 4 is provided with a dispensing port, and the surface of the box 4 is hinged to several boxes 6, through which the dispensing port can be closed;

[0050] The above technical solution allows the wool strips to be conveniently placed into the box 4 through the inlet. When the corresponding height is reached, the box door 6 of that height is closed. The box door 6 can be opened and closed automatically by electric or hydraulic power. Compared with placing the wool strips directly into the box 4 through the through slot 5, this design can reduce the height of the device and thus reduce the size of the device.

[0051] Working principle: The worker operates the control panel from a position away from the pressure plate 10, causing the electric hoist 21 to descend and the robotic arm 22 to grab the strips on the transport vehicle. The electric hoist 21 slides along the first guide rail 20. Since the first guide rail 20 is parallel to the width direction of the box 4, the electric hoist 21 can drive the robotic arm 22 to move along the width direction of the box 4, so that the gripper and the gripper carrying the strips enter the box 4 through the through slot 5. The electric hoist 21 lowers the robotic arm 22, and the robotic arm 22 releases the strips, which remain at the bottom of the box 4. The electric hoist 21 drives the robotic arm 22 to rise and reset. Then the electric hoist 21 slides along the first guide rail 20, thereby driving the robotic arm 22 to leave the box 4 from the through slot 5 and continue to grab other strips on the transport vehicle.

[0052] The motor 17 is started to drive the lead screw 18 to rotate. The lead screw 18 engages with the lead screw groove 19 on the surface of the slide plate 15, thereby driving the slide groove 16 on the surface of the slide plate 15 to slide along the second guide rail 14. Since the sliding of the second guide rail 14 is parallel to the length direction of the box 4, it can drive the slide plate 15 to move along the length direction of the box 4. The slide plate 15 drives the electric hoist 21 and the robot arm 22 connected to it to move along the length direction of the box 4. The bracket 11, the lead screw 18 and the second guide rail 14 together form a hollow area. The hollow area can ensure that the feeding mechanism will not interfere with the movement of the pressure plate 10 when it is not working, so that the strips can be stacked layer by layer to fill the box 4, thus completing the feeding. Due to the use of automatic feeding, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced to the minimum. At the same time, the workers are far away from the main body of the baling machine, which can effectively reduce the probability of safety hazards and improve safety.
