Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to facial mask packaging equipment, and in particular to a high-speed facial mask counting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, during the packaging process of bulk face masks, a certain number of masks need to be stacked together and then placed into a packaging box. This process is usually done manually, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. A few machines use sheet counting machines to complete this process. Sheet counting machines are mainly used to stack a certain number of face masks into a flat stack (the number of masks is determined by the number of masks in a box), and then continuously convey the stacks of masks to subsequent packaging stations until each stack is placed into a packaging box. However, existing sheet counting machines generally have the following problems:

[0003] 1. There is a certain probability that the face mask will get stuck on the conveying component (combing conveyor line), while the front-end face mask supply line continues to deliver the face mask, causing the face mask to pile up on the equipment or be scattered on the ground;

[0004] 2. When the masks on the conveying assembly (combing conveyor line) are conveyed backward, their shape and orientation are unstable, which is not conducive to subsequent stacking, palletizing, and counting.

[0005] 3. The masks on the conveying assembly are stacked one after the other, making it impossible to separate them and convey them one by one to the rear. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-speed mask counting machine with a simple and reasonable structural design and stable operation. It can efficiently and smoothly convey masks one by one and neatly backward. When the combing and conveying component jams or malfunctions, the mask supply line at the front end will not convey masks to the combing and conveying component.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A high-speed facial mask in-line counting machine includes a feeding assembly, a bidirectional conveying assembly, a flat combing assembly, a differential combing assembly, a stacking assembly, a frame, and a fault receiving box;

[0009] The frame is horizontally arranged, and on it are arranged in sequence a fault receiving box, a bidirectional conveying component, a flat carding component, a differential carding component, and a stacking component for multiple pieces; the bottom of the feeding component is connected to the hopper, and its top is located above the bidirectional conveying component.

[0010] The material is loaded, and the masks are placed in the hopper. Alternatively, stacks of masks can be manually and continuously placed on the feed belt of the conveyor component.

[0011] The feeding assembly includes a feeding motor, a feeding belt, a feeding shaft, a feeding driven shaft, and a feeding side plate; the feeding shaft is connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor via a sprocket (chain and gear); the two ends of the feeding belt are respectively sleeved on the feeding shaft and the feeding driven shaft; the two ends of the feeding shaft are mounted on the feeding side plate via bearings.

[0012] The bidirectional conveying assembly is horizontally mounted on the frame and includes a motor, a drive shaft, a driven shaft, and a bidirectional belt. The drive shaft and driven shaft are arranged at intervals opposite each other, and the left and right ends of the bidirectional belt are respectively fitted onto the driven shaft and the drive shaft; the drive shaft is connected to the motor output shaft (it can be directly connected or indirectly connected via a chain or gear). Baffles are provided on the front and rear sides of the feeding assembly.

[0013] The flush combing assembly includes a second motor, a second driving shaft, a second driven shaft, a second feeding belt, and two material-sorting clamps. The second driving shaft and the second driven shaft are arranged at intervals opposite each other. The left and right ends of the second feeding belt are respectively fitted onto the second driven shaft and the second driving shaft. The second driving shaft is connected to the output shaft of the second motor (it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through a chain or gear). The material-sorting clamps are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the second feeding belt; the distance between the two material-sorting clamps is adapted to the width of the mask.

[0014] The differential combing assembly consists of at least two sets. Along the mask conveying direction, the differential combing assembly located further back (to the right) has a faster conveying speed.

[0015] The differential combing assembly includes a motor, a driving shaft, a driven shaft, and a feeding belt. The driving shaft and the driven shaft are arranged at intervals relative to each other, and the left and right ends of the feeding belt are respectively sleeved on the driving shaft and the driven shaft. The driving shaft is connected to the output shaft of the motor (it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through a chain or gear).

[0016] The differential combing component is equipped with an opening guide component above it, and the distance between the two is adapted to the thickness of the mask.

[0017] The page opening guide assembly includes a guide motor, a guide belt, a guide main shaft, a guide driven shaft, and a page opening guide plate. The guide motor drives the guide belt. The page opening guide plate is located on the left side of the differential combing assembly; it is an arc-shaped guide plate, and the distance between it and the feeding belt is the same as the film thickness.

[0018] The stacked assembly is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Please refer to patent number 201911381224.0. The stacked assembly includes a mounting frame, a bag-dropping chamber, a discharge cylinder, a discharge push plate, and a bag-supporting assembly. The mounting frame has a bag-dropping chamber in the middle, which is a rectangular cavity. Two or three pairs of horizontally arranged bag-supporting assemblies are arranged in the bag-dropping chamber from top to bottom. The bag-supporting assemblies are used to support the face mask conveyed to the tail end of the upper or lower channel assembly into the bag-dropping chamber.

[0019] It also includes a jamming detection component, which is a photoelectric sensor, sensor, or image recognition system used to detect whether there is any mask jamming on the flat combing component and differential combing component. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. If jamming is found, a signal is sent to the control system, which then controls the motor of the bidirectional conveyor component to run in reverse, and the bidirectional belt to drive in reverse.

[0020] Briefly describe its working principle:

[0021] When the face mask gets stuck on the flat combing component or the differential combing component, the motor of the bidirectional conveyor component runs in reverse, and the bidirectional belt drives in reverse. At this time, the face mask conveyed by the feeding component will be transported to the fault collection box and neatly stacked in the fault collection box.

[0022] The masks are conveyed backward through the gap between the differential combing component and the opening guide component. Most masks are conveyed backward one by one due to the gap.

[0023] When the face masks are stacked front to back, the front face mask enters the rear differential combing component at a faster speed than the rear face mask. The two stacked face masks are separated and spaced out due to their different speeds, thus enabling the face masks to be transported backward one by one.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] Its structural design is simple and reasonable, and its operation is stable; it can efficiently and smoothly convey the masks one by one and neatly backward; when the combing and conveying components are jammed or malfunction, the front-end mask supply line will no longer convey the masks to the combing and conveying components.
