Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of packaging, and in particular to a moving mechanism for trays. Background Technology

[0002] In the packaging industry, trays are a type of packaging box. After food or other materials are filled into the trays and the trays are sealed, the trays that have completed their packaging are sorted and then transported to the subsequent dispensing mechanism for stacking. The moving mechanism drives the trays to move, and then the pushing mechanism moves the trays from the moving mechanism to the subsequent dispensing mechanism for stacking.

[0003] In related technologies, the moving mechanism includes a base and a conveyor belt, with the conveyor belt mounted on the base and used to move the tray.

[0004] Workers need to manually place trays on the conveyor belt. The spacing between adjacent trays is uncontrollable, resulting in different spacing between two adjacent trays on the conveyor belt. This makes it difficult for different trays to be positioned by the subsequent pushing mechanism, which is not conducive to the subsequent packaging mechanism's packaging of trays. It may even cause the trays to be damaged by the pushing mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue of uneven spacing between adjacent trays, this application provides a moving mechanism for trays.

[0006] This application provides a moving mechanism for a tray, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A moving mechanism for a tray includes a base and a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being disposed on the base and having a limiting structure thereon for restricting the movement of materials on the conveyor belt.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is restricted by the limiting structure, allowing the material to be temporarily positioned on the conveyor belt, so that subsequent materials can abut against the previous batch of materials, allowing different materials to abut against each other, and allowing the subsequent packaging mechanism to stably position the materials so that the subsequent packaging mechanism can package the materials, and allowing the spacing between two adjacent materials on the conveyor belt to be controlled.

[0009] Optionally, the limiting structure includes a rotating roller and a rotating drive component. The rotating drive component is disposed on the conveyor belt and is used to drive the rotating roller to rotate. The rotating roller abuts against the material. When the rotating roller rotates along the conveyor belt transport direction, the material can move. When the rotating roller stops rotating or rotates in the opposite direction, the material stops moving.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating roller abuts against the material, making it difficult for the conveyor belt to move the material, thus stopping the material on the conveyor belt. Alternatively, the rotating roller can rotate in the opposite direction of the conveyor belt's transport to stop the material's movement on the conveyor belt, thereby achieving the abutment of subsequent materials. The rotating roller is driven by the rotating drive component to rotate along the direction of the conveyor belt's transport, and the rotating roller can drive the material to move along the direction of the conveyor belt's transport, so that the material can move stably on the conveyor belt.

[0011] Optionally, the rotating roller is provided with a flexible layer for extruding materials.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a flexible layer is set on the rotating roller, allowing the flexible layer to compress the material; at the same time, the flexible layer is relatively soft and can adapt to materials of different heights within a small range, thus allowing the flexible layer to stably abut against materials of different heights, reducing the need to replace the rotating roller when transporting different materials, and increasing the adaptability of the rotating roller to materials of different heights.

[0013] Optionally, the base is provided with a fixing frame, which includes a first fixing bar and two second fixing bars. The two second fixing bars are located on different sides of the material, and the first fixing bar is located on the side of the material away from the conveyor belt.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, with the first fixing bar located on the side of the material away from the conveyor belt and the two second fixing bars located on different sides of the material, the fixing frame can limit the material and prevent the material from falling off the conveyor belt due to shaking, so that the material can be transported stably on the conveyor belt.

[0015] Optionally, one end of the second fixing strip is inclined away from the other second fixing strip, and the inclined opening formed by the two second fixing strips allows material to enter, and the second fixing strip is used to abut against the material.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is abutted by the second fixing strip, and one end of the second fixing strip is inclined away from the other second fixing strip, so that the material can enter the inclined opening between the two second fixing strips more easily, thereby reducing the situation where the material gets stuck due to misalignment between the two second fixing strips.

[0017] Optionally, the limiting structure includes a moving belt and a moving drive component, the moving drive component being used to drive the moving belt to rotate, the moving belt abutting against the material on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving drive component drives the moving belt to rotate, and the moving belt abuts against the material, allowing the moving belt to stably move the material on the conveyor belt; when the moving belt stops, the moving belt abuts against the material, making it difficult for the material to move on the conveyor belt, so that the subsequent material is transported by the conveyor belt to continue to abut against the stopped material, thereby preventing gaps from being generated between two adjacent materials.

[0019] Optionally, the base is provided with a moving component, which is used to drive the moving belt to move in a direction closer to or further away from the conveyor belt.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving belt is driven by the moving component to move towards or away from the conveyor belt, so that the moving belt can adapt to materials of different heights, thereby increasing the adaptability of the moving belt.

[0021] Optionally, the limiting structure includes a limiting strip and a limiting drive component. The limiting drive component is disposed on the base, and the limiting strip is disposed on the limiting drive component. The limiting drive component is used to drive the limiting strip to move. When the limiting strip is located on the material's movement path, the limiting strip can prevent the material from moving along the transport direction of the conveyor belt. When the limiting strip is not located on the material's movement path, the material moves in the conveyor belt.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting drive component moves the limiting strip, placing it on the material's movement path. This allows the limiting strip to obstruct the material's movement on the moving belt, enabling subsequent materials to come into contact with the stopped material. Alternatively, the limiting drive component can move the limiting strip away from the material's movement path, allowing the material to continue moving on the moving belt and eventually reach the subsequent packaging mechanism.

[0023] Optionally, a mounting plate is rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the limiting drive component, and a mounting rod is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. A second moving hole is provided on the limiting strip, and a moving block for inserting into the second moving hole is provided on the mounting rod. When the moving block is inserted into the second moving hole, the limiting strip is fixed to the mounting rod.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate is set on the drive shaft of the limiting drive component, so that the drive shaft can drive the mounting plate to rotate. In addition, the moving block is inserted into the second moving hole, so that the moving block can drive the limiting strip to rotate, so that the limiting strip is located on the material's movement path. By changing the limiting strip, the moving block is placed in different positions in the second moving hole, so that the position of the limiting strip's rotating shaft is different, and the position of the limiting strip inserted into the conveyor belt is different. This allows the limiting strip to be adjusted according to materials of different widths, so that the limiting strip can more stably abut against the material and restrict the material's movement on the conveyor belt.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. By using a limiting structure to restrict the material, the material can be temporarily positioned on the conveyor belt, allowing subsequent materials to contact the previous batch of materials, enabling different materials to contact each other, and allowing the subsequent packaging mechanism to stably position the materials so that the subsequent packaging mechanism can package the materials, and allowing the spacing between two adjacent materials on the conveyor belt to be controlled.

[0027] 2. By using a rotating roller to abut against the material, the conveyor belt can prevent the material from moving, thus stopping the material on the conveyor belt. Alternatively, the rotating roller can rotate in the opposite direction of the conveyor belt's transport to stop the material's movement on the conveyor belt, thus facilitating the abutment of subsequent materials. A rotating drive unit drives the rotating roller to rotate in the direction of the conveyor belt's transport, and the rotating roller can also move the material in the same direction, allowing the material to move stably on the conveyor belt.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] This embodiment discloses a moving mechanism for a tray. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A moving mechanism for trays includes a base 1 and a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A limiting structure 3 is provided on the base 1 to restrict the movement of materials on the conveyor belt 2, so that subsequent trays can abut against each other.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The limiting structure 3 includes a rotating roller 31 and a rotating drive component 32. The rotating drive component 32 includes a first motor, and the drive shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 31.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A rotating frame 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and a rotating roller 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 11. A first motor is also fixedly connected to the rotating frame 11. A rotating placement plate 111 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the rotating placement plate 111 has multiple threaded holes 112. The rotating frame 11 has a strip-shaped hole 113 extending vertically. A first mounting bolt 114 is provided on the rotating frame 11, and the first mounting bolt 114 passes through the strip-shaped hole 113 and is threaded into the threaded hole 112, thus fixing the rotating frame 11 to the base 1. When the first mounting bolt 114 is threaded into different threaded holes 112, the distance between the rotating roller 31 and the base 1 is different.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 A flexible layer 311 is fitted on the outer surface of the rotating roller 31. The flexible layer 311 is made of rubber and can abut against the tray. The rotating roller 31 is provided with a plurality of second mounting bolts 312, which pass through the flexible layer 311 and are threaded onto the rotating roller 31 to fix the flexible layer 311 and the rotating roller 31 to each other.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 When the first motor starts, it drives the rotating roller 31 to rotate, and the flexible layer 311 drives the tray to move along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 2, so that the tray can smoothly rotate the roller 31 and the conveyor belt 2.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 When the first motor is not started, the flexible layer 311 abuts against the tray. At this time, there is friction between the flexible layer 311 and the tray, making it difficult for the tray to pass through the flexible layer 311, thus fixing the tray between the conveyor belt 2 and the rotating roller 31.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The base 1 is provided with a fixing frame 12, which includes two first fixing bars 121 and two second fixing bars 122. The two first fixing bars 121 are located on the side of the conveyor belt 2 away from the base 1, and the two second fixing bars 122 are located on different sides of the tray, and both second fixing bars 122 abut against the side of the tray. The end of the first fixing bar 121 facing the inlet of the conveyor belt 2 is inclined away from the conveyor belt 2, and the end of the second fixing bar 122 facing the inlet of the conveyor belt 2 is inclined away from the other limiting bar 35, so that the tray is located within the fixing frame 12.

[0043] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: the first motor drives the rotating roller 31 to rotate, so that the tray moves on the conveyor belt 2; when the first motor stops and starts, the rotating roller 31 does not rotate, and the rotating roller 31 restricts the movement of the tray on the conveyor belt 2.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the limiting structure 3 includes a movable belt 33 and a movable drive component 34. The movable drive component 34 includes a second motor, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. The movable belt 33 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the drive shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the movable belt 33. The movable belt 33 extends along the length direction of the transmission belt 2.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 The movable belt 33 includes a movable strip 331 and two movable rods 332. A movable frame 333 is provided on the base 1. Both movable rods 332 are rotatably connected to the movable frame 333, and the movable strip 331 is rotatably connected to the movable rods 332. The movable strip 331 is made of sponge.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 When the second motor starts, it drives the moving belt 33 to rotate in the direction of transport on the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the moving belt 33 abuts against the tray, allowing the tray to move along the conveyor belt 2. When the second motor does not start, the moving belt 33 does not rotate. At this time, the moving belt 33 abuts against the tray, restricting the tray from moving further, allowing subsequent trays to abut against the stopped tray.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 A movable component 334 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and a movable frame 333 is fixedly connected to the movable component 334. The movable component 334 is used to drive the movable frame 333 to move up and down, so that the movable strip 331 abuts against the tray. In this embodiment, the movable component 334 can be a cylinder or similar structure.

[0049] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: the second motor drives the moving belt 33 to rotate, so as to control the movement of the tray on the conveyor belt 2.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the limiting structure 3 includes a limiting strip 35 and a limiting drive component 36, the limiting drive component 36 including a third motor. A limiting frame 13 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the third motor is fixedly connected to the limiting frame 13. Multiple limiting mounting holes 131 are formed on the surface of the limiting frame 13, extending along the length of the base 1. A limiting mounting plate 132 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and a limiting mounting groove 133 is formed on the limiting mounting plate 132. A limiting mounting bolt 134 is provided on the base 1, and the limiting mounting bolt 134 passes through the limiting mounting hole 131 and is threaded into the limiting mounting groove 133, thereby achieving mutual fixation between the limiting frame 13 and the base 1.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 A mounting plate 361 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the third motor. The mounting plate 361 has a first movable hole 362. A mounting rod 363 is mounted on the mounting plate 361, and movable blocks 364 are fixedly connected to both ends of the mounting rod 363. The movable blocks 364 can pass through the first movable hole 362, and are fixed to the mounting plate 361 by fastening bolts. A second movable hole 351 is provided on the end face of the limiting strip 35 for the movable blocks 364 to be inserted. When the movable blocks 364 are inserted into the second movable hole 351, the limiting strip 35 and the mounting rod 363 are fixed to each other. A mounting hole 135 is provided on the surface of the limiting frame 13 for the mounting rod 363 to rotate. The mounting rod 363 passes through the mounting hole 135 and is mounted on the limiting strip 35.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 When the third motor starts, the third motor drives the limit bar 35 to be located on the moving path of the tray; or the third motor drives the limit bar 35 to be disengaged from the moving path of the tray.

[0054] The implementation principle of Example 3 is as follows: the third motor drives the movement of the limiting strip 35 through the mounting plate 361 and the mounting rod 363, so that the limiting strip 35 can be located on the movement path of the tray.
