Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing, and in particular to a material conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea production process, the outer boxes of tea need to be weighed, labeled, and scanned for reporting. First, an electronic scale is used to weigh the outer boxes containing tea, and the net weight and gross weight of each box are recorded. Then, a label is affixed to the outer box, containing relevant information such as product name, production date, expiration date, batch number, and weight. This information helps with subsequent tracking and management. Finally, a barcode or QR code scanning device is used to scan the affixed label. This step is usually connected to a production management system (such as ERP) to automatically record the weighing and labeling information of each outer box, facilitating data statistics and queries. During this process, the outer boxes of tea need to be moved from one piece of equipment to another, which requires the use of a conveyor to facilitate the material transport and complete the above operations.

[0003] In order to facilitate the labeling operation of the outer boxes, some existing traditional conveyors often use some limiting structures, such as cylinders with limit rods, to restrict the outer boxes to a certain extent so that they do not deviate during transportation. However, when labeling, the label is often positioned on the labeling plate and then the labeling plate taps the label onto the box.

[0004] However, the above operation has certain problems. If the labeling plate is applied with too little force, the label may not stick properly. If the labeling plate is applied with too much force, although the limiting structure can limit the box to a certain extent, the box may still shift, which will affect the labeling quality and is not practical. Therefore, a material conveying mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a material conveying mechanism, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that if the labeling force of the labeling plate is too great, even though the limiting structure limits the box to a certain extent, the box is still prone to displacement, which affects the labeling quality and is not practical enough.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 4As shown, the positioning assembly 72 includes a mounting bracket 721 for connecting various components. A motor 723 is fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting bracket 721, providing power to the assembly and controlling the rotation of the disc 725, enabling the disc 725 to rotate in both directions. A housing 722 is fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting bracket 721, facilitating the connection between the mounting bracket 721 and the guide block 713. Its specific shape can be modified according to actual conditions to ensure the normal operation of the motor 723. A rotating shaft 724 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 723, for connecting the disc 725. A rotating shaft 724 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 721. A disc 725 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating shaft 724. The disc 725 is used to move the connecting block 7261 through the roller 7264.

A limit block 726 is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting block 7261. 2. An auxiliary rod 7263 is movably connected through the middle of the limiting block 7262. It is used to restrict the movement direction of the connecting block 7261, so that it can only move up and down. The lower part of the auxiliary rod 7263 is threaded with a nut for use in limiting and disassembling the limiting block 7262. The upper end of the auxiliary rod 7263 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 721. A spring 729 is provided between the connecting block 7261 and the mounting bracket 721.

[0034] Furthermore, the adjustment component 71 includes a guide rail 711, which can be electrically powered. A guide block 713 is slidably connected to the left side of the guide rail 711, which is used to cooperate in adjusting the height of the positioning component 72.

[0035] Working Principle: During operation, the conveyor belt 2 is turned on, transporting the weighed tea boxes to the labeling equipment 5 for labeling. While conveying the tea boxes, the cylinder 31 is activated, causing the limit rod 32 to move towards the labeling equipment 5, thus limiting the movement of the tea boxes. Once the boxes reach the labeling equipment 5, the conveyor belt 2 is stopped, and the guide block 713 slides on the guide rail 711, adjusting the positioning component 72 to the appropriate position. The motor 723 is then turned on, driving the fixed rotating shaft 724 to rotate. The disc 725, fixed to the rotating shaft 724, is also rotated. As the disc 725 rotates, the rollers 7264 inside the disc 725 are driven to... As the outer box moves downward, the connecting block 7261 connected to the roller 7264 will be driven, thereby driving the upright 727 to move downward. At the same time, the spring 729 will apply a downward force to the connecting block 7261, thereby pressing the pressure plate 728 onto the top of the outer box and fixing the position of the outer box. Then, the labeling device 5 can be started to label the outer box. After the outer box is labeled, the motor 723 can drive the rotating shaft 724 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the disc 725 to drive the roller 7264 to move upward, thereby causing the connecting block 7261 to drive the upright 727 to move upward, causing the pressure plate 728 to release the outer box. Then, the labeled outer box can be transported to the barcode scanning device 6 by the conveyor belt 2, and the unlabeled outer box can be transported to the labeling device 5 to repeat the above operation.

[0036] If cleaning or maintenance of components such as the pressure plate 728 is required, or if the spring 729 needs to be replaced, turn on the motor 723 to drive the rotating shaft 724 to rotate in the opposite direction to the auxiliary port 7251. The rotating shaft 724 will then drive the disc 725 to rotate. When the auxiliary port 7251 on the disc 725 rotates to the bottom, the roller 7264 can pass through the auxiliary port 7251. Then loosen the nut at the bottom of the auxiliary rod 7263. At this time, the connecting block 7261, along with the roller 7264, the upright rod 727, the pressure plate 728, and other components, can be removed from the mounting bracket 721. The spring 729 can also be removed from between the mounting bracket 721 and the connecting block 7261 for replacement. During installation, simply install the spring 729 between the mounting bracket 721 and the connecting block 7261, then pass the upright 727 through the mounting bracket 721, so that the auxiliary rod 7263 passes through the limit block 7262, so that the roller 7264 passes through the auxiliary opening 7251, then turn on the motor 723, so that it drives the disc 725 to rotate through the rotating shaft 724, so that the roller 7264 is installed in the disc 725, and then tighten the nut and the auxiliary rod 7263.
