Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular to a gravity-driven flipping and sorting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] When packaging disposable plates and similar products, the sealing of the packaging bag is usually formed at the bottom of the plate to make the packaging more aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, during packaging, the plates need to be stacked bottom-up before being sent into the packaging machine for sealing. However, in current production, this step is mostly handled manually, resulting in low overall efficiency. Therefore, there is a need for a mechanism that can efficiently and automatically flip the materials. Utility Model Content

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, by guiding the material through the arc-shaped falling channel and utilizing gravity, continuous and fully automatic flipping of materials can be achieved, thereby enabling flat materials such as disposable plates to be stacked with the bottom side facing up.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0021] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the gravity-driven flipping and sorting mechanism provided by this utility model includes:
[0022] The upper conveyor assembly 10 uses a conveyor belt;
[0023] The lower conveyor assembly 20 uses a conveyor belt;
[0024] The flipping and sorting assembly 30 includes an inner flipping guide plate 31 and an outer flipping guide plate 32 that are arranged at relatively intervals. An arc-shaped falling channel 33 is formed between the inner flipping guide plate 31 and the outer flipping guide plate 32. The upper and lower ends of the falling channel 33 are respectively connected to the rear end of the upper conveying assembly 10 and the front end of the lower conveying assembly 20.
[0025] Specifically, the material is conveyed by the upper conveyor belt assembly and falls into the arc-shaped drop channel 33. Under the action of gravity, the material slides down along the drop channel 33 and is simultaneously flipped under the guidance of the arc-shaped drop channel 33. After the material is flipped, it falls onto the lower conveyor assembly 20. Compared with the existing technology, by using the guidance of the arc-shaped drop channel 33 and the action of gravity, the material can be flipped continuously and automatically. This allows flat materials such as disposable plates to be stacked with the bottom side facing up. Combined with the subsequent packaging process, the seal of the disposable plate packaging is aligned with the bottom side of the disposable plate, making the packaging of the disposable plate more aesthetically pleasing. This improves the efficiency of flipping and sorting while reducing the overall cost.
[0026] Furthermore, the flipping and sorting assembly 30 also includes a guide partition 34 disposed in the falling channel 33. The guide partition 34 divides the falling channel 33 into multiple channels. The upper conveying assembly 10 is provided with multiple conveying partitions 11. The conveying partitions 11 are spaced apart to form multiple channels. The channels between the conveying partitions 11 are respectively opposite to the channels of the falling channel 33. Through multiple channels, the synchronous flipping of the entire row of materials can be achieved, greatly improving the efficiency of flipping and sorting.
[0027] Furthermore, in order to prevent the material from shifting at the lower end of the falling channel 33, the gap between the lower end of the guide partition 34 and the outward-facing guide plate 32 is smaller than the thickness of the material, so that the two sides of the material can move and abut against the guide partition 34 respectively to achieve positioning and guidance.
[0028] Furthermore, in order to adapt to materials of various thicknesses, the gravity flipping and sorting mechanism also includes an adjusting bracket 41. The adjusting bracket 41 is provided with multiple sets of adjusting connecting guide grooves 42 for connecting the outer flipping guide plate 32. The outer flipping guide plate 32 can slide along the adjusting connecting guide grooves 42 to adjust the gap between the outer flipping guide plate 32 and the inner flipping guide plate 31. After adjustment, they are locked together by bolts. That is, it can adapt to materials of different thicknesses, so that the materials can fall automatically under the action of gravity and successfully complete the flipping.
[0029] Furthermore, to improve the ease of adjustment, the outer flip guide plate 32 is provided with an adjusting nut seat 35, and an adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the adjusting nut seat 35. The front end of the adjusting nut is rotatably connected to the adjusting bracket 41. By rotating the adjusting nut, the outer flip guide plate 32 can be adjusted relative to the inner flip guide plate 31.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to allow the material to fall more smoothly into the falling channel 33, the horizontal height of the front end of the inward-turning guide plate 31 is lower than the horizontal height of the rear end of the upper conveying component 10. As the material is conveyed by the upper conveying component 10, after the center of gravity leaves the upper conveying component 10, the rear end of the material will be tilted upward, so that the material can slide more smoothly into the falling channel 33.
[0031] Furthermore, in order to accommodate lighter materials, the gravity turning and sorting mechanism also includes an auxiliary blowing component. The auxiliary blowing component is located outside the entrance of the falling channel 33 and is used to blow materials into the falling channel 33 to prevent the materials from falling too smoothly due to being too light.
[0032] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
