Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of packaging, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for trays. Background Technology
[0002] A tray is a type of box used for packaging. After food or other materials are filled into the tray and sealed, the trays that have completed the packaging are stacked. The stacking structure uses mechanical claws to grip the trays and achieve the stacking process.
[0003] Because the trays transported by the conveyor belt often collide with each other, adjacent trays will overlap and interfere with each other. At this time, the palletizing mechanism has difficulty grabbing the specified number of trays, which makes it easy for the subsequent palletizing mechanism to grab too many or miss some trays, causing problems when the subsequent palletizing mechanism performs palletizing. Utility Model Content
[0004] To improve the problem of trays abutting against each other, this application provides a material feeding mechanism for trays.
[0005] This application provides a material feeding mechanism for trays, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A material feeding mechanism for a tray includes a base, a conveyor belt on the base, a pushing structure for moving materials on the base, a pushing plate for pushing materials on the pushing structure, a separation drive component on the base, and a separation rod slidably connected to the base. The separation drive component drives the separation rod to move, and the separation rod is located between two adjacent groups of materials. When the separation drive component is activated, the separation rod drives the two adjacent groups of materials to separate from each other.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the pusher plate is moved by the pusher structure, which causes the pusher plate to carry the material away from the conveyor belt. At the same time, the separation drive moves the separation rod, which causes the separation rod to separate the two adjacent groups of materials. This allows the two adjacent groups of materials to be separated, so that the materials can be stacked in the future. By driving the separation drive and the separation rod, the efficiency of separating materials is improved, and the accuracy of the subsequent stacking mechanism is improved.
[0008] Optionally, the separation drive component is provided with a separation plate, and the separation plate has a plurality of separation moving holes. The separation moving holes are inclined between the pushing direction of the push plate and the direction away from another separation moving hole. A separation block is slidably connected in the separation moving hole. The separation block slides along the pushing direction perpendicular to the push plate. The separation rod is disposed on the separation block.
[0009] Through adoption of the above technical scheme, the separating plate can drive the separating block to slide when moving, the separating rod is arranged on the separating block at this time, the separating rod can drive the adjacent two groups of materials to separate, and the adjacent two groups of materials can be stably separated.
[0010] Optionally, the separating rod is provided with a separating nut, the separating rod and the separating nut are threadedly connected with each other, and the separating block is provided with a separating sliding hole through which the separating rod penetrates.
[0011] Through adoption of the above technical scheme, the separating rod penetrates through the separating sliding hole, the length of the separating rod protruding from the separating block can be controlled, the separating rod cannot protrude from the materials, and the separating rod can adapt to materials of different heights; in addition, the separating nut and the separating rod are threadedly connected, and the separating rod can be stably located on the separating block, and the possibility of sliding of the separating rod on the separating block is reduced.
[0012] Optionally, the separating block is provided with a dovetail hole, the base is provided with a dovetail strip for penetrating through the dovetail hole, and the dovetail strip extends along the conveying direction of the conveying belt.
[0013] Through adoption of the above technical scheme, the dovetail strip slides on the dovetail hole, and the dovetail strip extends along the conveying direction of the conveying belt, so that the separating block can stably slide on the base, and the deviation of the separating block when sliding on the base is reduced.
[0014] Optionally, the base is provided with a separating hole, the separating hole is for the separating rod to penetrate through, and the separating hole extends along the conveying direction of the conveying belt.
[0015] Through adoption of the above technical scheme, the separating rod penetrates through the separating hole, and the separating hole extends along the conveying direction of the conveying belt, the separating rod is limited by the wall of the separating hole, and the separating rod can be stably located in the separating hole, so that the separating rod is not prone to deviation when moving.
[0016] Optionally, the base is provided with two groups of side plates, each group of side plates comprises two side plates, and the pushing plate is located between the two side plates in the same group.
[0017] Through adoption of the above technical scheme, the pushing plate is located between the two side plates, the pushing distance of the materials pushed by the separating rod is limited by the baffle, the materials are not prone to being pushed too far by the separating rod, and the subsequent stacking mechanism can stably grasp the materials.
[0018] Optionally, the side plate is provided with a side sliding hole extending away from the other side plate, and the base is provided with a side bolt for inserting into the side sliding hole; when the side bolt is inserted into the side sliding hole, the side plate is fixed to the base.
[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, the side bolt can fix the side plate by being inserted into the side sliding hole, and the side sliding hole extends away from the other side plate, so that the side plate can be adjusted in a small range on the base, thereby adjusting the distance between the two side plates to adapt to the subsequent separation of materials of different widths.
[0020] Optionally, the pushing plate is provided with two, and the two pushing plates are distributed along the vertical direction of the conveying direction of the conveying belt.
[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the subsequent stacking mechanism has a limited grabbing range, the pushing plate is provided with two, and each pushing plate has a shorter pushing path, so that the pushing plate moves for a shorter time each time, so that the pushing plate can drive the materials to be separated from the conveying belt faster, thereby reducing the waiting time of the conveying belt for the movement of the pushing plate, and improving the separation speed of the materials.
[0022] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
