Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incense coil production technology, and in particular to an incense coil production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Incense coil production equipment is a crucial tool for the mechanization transformation of the traditional incense-making industry, primarily used to automate processes such as incense coil forming, drying, and packaging. This type of equipment replaces traditional manual operations with mechanical transmission and pneumatic control, significantly improving production efficiency. However, there is still room for improvement in its detailed design and functional coverage. Its prominent shortcomings are twofold: First, in the process of using suction nozzles to move the incense coils, due to the brittle texture and fragile spiral structure of the coils, uneven force control during transfer often leads to breakage or surface peeling of the incense, thus reducing the yield rate. Second, the lack of intelligent palletizing mechanisms at the end of the production line means that the dried incense coils still require manual layering and stacking, increasing labor costs and exacerbating the risk of secondary breakage due to excessive manual intervention, thus hindering the stability of overall production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a coil incense production equipment, which aims to optimize the adsorption and transfer mechanism, improve the yield rate, and automate the palletizing of finished products, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a coil incense production equipment, comprising:

[0005] Feeding mechanism;

[0006] An adsorption feeding mechanism includes an adsorption component and a driving component. The driving component can drive the adsorption component to move to the feeding mechanism to adsorb and feed the incense coil. The adsorption component includes at least an air intake / release component and two adsorption plates stacked on top of each other. The surfaces of the two adsorption plates are respectively provided with air vents, and at least one adsorption plate can be moved to make the air vents of the two adsorption plates overlap or stagger. When the air vents of the two adsorption plates overlap, the air intake / release component draws in air to provide suction force so that the two adsorption plates adsorb the incense coil. When the air vents of the two adsorption plates stagger, the adsorption force between the adsorption plates and the incense coil disappears, and the incense coil separates from the adsorption plates.

[0007] The material stacking mechanism includes a material stacking and placing component and a first material straightening component. The material stacking and placing component takes and places the incense coils fed from the adsorption and feeding mechanism, and the first material straightening component constrains and flattens the stack of incense coils.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the adsorption assembly further includes an adsorption shell, an adjustment cavity is formed inside the adsorption shell, a first driving member is connected to the wall of the adjustment cavity, an adsorption plate is disposed on the bottom surface of the adsorption shell, and another adsorption plate is movably disposed in the adjustment cavity and connected to the first driving member.

[0009] In one possible implementation, a snap-fit ​​strip is provided around the periphery of the adsorption plate inside the adjustment cavity, and a limit buckle is provided on the wall of the adjustment cavity corresponding to the snap-fit ​​strip, with the snap-fit ​​strip connected to the limit buckle.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the gas absorption and desorption components are provided in multiple ways, and the top surface of the adsorption shell is provided with multiple openings, with the gas absorption and desorption components connected to the openings.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the first material component has a material surface formed on the side away from the adsorption and feeding mechanism, and the material surface is arc-shaped. The material stacking and picking component can stack the incense coils against the material surface.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the material stacking mechanism further includes a second material stacking component and a second driving component. The second driving component is connected to the second material stacking component to drive it to move vertically back and forth. The second material stacking component is mirror-image of the first material stacking component, and the two can abut against each other and surround the incense coil with the material stacking surface to stack the incense coil.

[0013] This utility model's technical solution utilizes an adjustable air vent adsorption plate in the adsorption feeding mechanism. By employing negative pressure adsorption and staggered release, it avoids damage during the handling of incense coils and can simultaneously handle large quantities of incense coils. The stacking mechanism is equipped with bidirectional material-setting components to ensure that the incense coils are stacked neatly. From feeding and adsorption handling to stacking and material setting, no manual intervention is required throughout the entire process, significantly improving production efficiency. Multiple measures minimize the breakage rate of incense coils. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model proposes a coil incense production equipment, including a feeding mechanism 1, an adsorption feeding mechanism, and a stacking mechanism. The adsorption feeding mechanism includes an adsorption component 2 and a driving component 3. The driving component 3 can drive the adsorption component 2 to move to the feeding mechanism 1 to adsorb and feed the coil incense. The adsorption component 2 includes at least an air intake / release component 21 and two stacked adsorption plates 22. The surfaces of the two adsorption plates 22 are respectively provided with air ports 221, and at least one adsorption plate 22 is movable so that the two adsorption plates 22... The air inlets 221 of the two adsorption plates 22 overlap or stagger; when the air inlets 221 of the two adsorption plates 22 overlap, the air intake and exhaust component 21 draws in air to provide suction force so that the two adsorption plates 22 adsorb the incense coil; when the air inlets 221 of the two adsorption plates 22 stagger, the adsorption force between the adsorption plates 22 and the incense coil disappears, and the incense coil separates from the adsorption plates 22; the stacking mechanism includes a stacking and picking component 4 and a first material straightening component 5. The stacking and picking component 4 picks up and stacks the incense coils fed from the adsorption and feeding mechanism, and the first material straightening component 5 constrains and flattens the stacking of the incense coils.

[0026] Understandably, the feeding mechanism 1 is used to transport the incense coils to be processed to a designated location for subsequent mechanisms to grab or absorb. Its structure is existing technology and will not be further limited or described in detail here.

[0027] The adsorption component 2 of the adsorption feeding mechanism is responsible for directly grabbing the incense coils. Its core components include at least two stacked adsorption plates 22, positioned near the incense coils, with corresponding air vents 221 on their surfaces. The air intake / release component 21 can be a vacuum pump, adsorption fan, or similar device. By moving at least one adsorption plate 22, the air vents 221 of the two plates overlap or stagger. When the air vents 221 of the two adsorption plates overlap, the air intake / release component 21 activates, creating a negative pressure that firmly adsorbs the incense coils. When it's time to release the incense coils, one of the adsorption plates 22 moves, staggering the air vents 221, eliminating the negative pressure, and the incense coils fall off naturally, avoiding damage caused by forced peeling. The drive component 3 is responsible for moving the adsorption component 2 to the feeding mechanism 1 to grab the incense coils and then transporting them to the stacking mechanism.

[0028] The material handling component 4 can be a robotic arm or a suction cup, responsible for receiving incense coils from the suction feeding mechanism and transferring them to the stacking location. The first material handling component 5 is located on one side of the material handling component 4, used to constrain the position of the incense coils, ensuring they remain neat during stacking and preventing skewing or loose stacking. In this example, the first material handling component 5 has an arc-shaped surface; the incense coils are placed against this surface to achieve the effect of stacking them as a whole.

[0029] This embodiment uses an adjustable air inlet 221 with an adsorption plate 22 to avoid the problem of incense coil breakage caused by fixed negative pressure in traditional nozzles; by moving the adsorption plate 22 to control the overlap / dislocation of the air inlets 221, a rapid switching between adsorption and release is achieved without frequent start-stop of the vacuum pump; through the cooperation of the material stacking mechanism and the whole material component, the incense coils are automatically stacked and sorted, reducing manual intervention; the entire process is automated, improving production efficiency and reducing losses caused by manual operation.

[0030] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption assembly 2 further includes an adsorption shell 23, an adjustment cavity 231 is formed inside the adsorption shell 23, a first driving member 232 is connected to the wall of the adjustment cavity 231, an adsorption plate 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the adsorption shell 23, and another adsorption plate 22 is movably disposed in the adjustment cavity 231 and connected to the first driving member 232.

[0031] Understandably, the adsorption shell 23 is the main supporting structure of the adsorption assembly 2. Its hollow interior forms an adjustable space. The wall of the adjustment cavity 231 is connected to a first driving component 232, such as a cylinder or motor, to drive the movement of the internal adsorption plate 22. The adsorption plates 22 are arranged in two ways: fixed adsorption plates 22 and movable adsorption plates 22. One adsorption plate 22 is fixed to the bottom surface of the adsorption shell 23, directly facing the incense coil. The other adsorption plate 22 can be movably installed in the adjustment cavity 231 through a sliding groove, a limiting buckle 233, or other structures, and is connected to the first driving component 232. It can move back and forth under the control of the driving component. Both have air ports 221, i.e., adsorption holes, on their surfaces.

[0032] The first driving component 232 pushes the movable adsorption plate 22, making its air port 221 completely overlap with the air port 221 of the fixed adsorption plate 22. The suction and release component 21 is activated, creating a negative pressure within the adsorption shell 23, adsorbing the incense coil. When the first driving component 232 pulls the movable adsorption plate 22, misaligning its air port 221 with the fixed adsorption plate 22, the negative pressure disappears, and the incense coil naturally falls off, avoiding damage caused by forced peeling. The precise adjustment of the adsorption plate 22's position by the driving component ensures a firm adsorption and eliminates mechanical interference during release. Compared to traditional fixed nozzles, this design avoids the problem of incense coil breakage caused by forced peeling. The adjustment cavity 231 is integrated inside the adsorption shell 23, resulting in a compact overall structure suitable for the spatial layout of automated production lines.

[0033] Reference Figures 4 to 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, a snap-fit ​​strip 222 is provided around the periphery of the adsorption plate 22 in the adjustment cavity 231, and a limit buckle 233 is provided on the wall of the adjustment cavity 231 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​strip 222, and the snap-fit ​​strip 222 is connected to the limit buckle 233.

[0034] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​strip 222 is a raised guide rail provided along the periphery of the adsorption plate 22, and the limiting buckle 233 is a snap-fit ​​structure on the wall of the adjustment cavity 231. When the adsorption plate 22 moves, the snap-fit ​​strip 222 slides along the track of the limiting buckle 233, restricting the adsorption plate 22 to move only in one direction in a planar plane. When the driving component pushes the adsorption plate 22 to move, the limiting buckle 233 ensures that the two adsorption plates 22 always remain parallel, so that the air port 221 can be precisely aligned / misaligned.

[0035] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, multiple suction and desorption components 21 are provided, and multiple openings are provided on the top surface of the adsorption shell 23, with the suction and desorption components 21 connected to the openings.

[0036] Understandably, the layout design of multiple air intake and exhaust components 21 adopts a modular distribution, with each air intake and exhaust component 21 corresponding to a port, forming multiple independent negative pressure adsorption units. Through the matrix design of the air ports 221 of the adsorption plate 22, multiple incense coils can be adsorbed, greatly improving work efficiency; the distributed adsorption of multiple components reduces the negative pressure intensity of a single adsorption point, avoiding excessive local stress; and the system can still operate when a single air intake and exhaust component 21 fails.

[0037] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first material component 5 has a material surface 51 formed on the side away from the adsorption feeding mechanism, and the material surface 51 is set in an arc shape. The material stacking and picking component 4 can stack the incense coils against the material surface 51.

[0038] Understandably, the material-forming surface 51 is not a flat surface, but an inwardly concave arc-shaped surface. Its curvature matches the spiral shape of the incense coil. In this example, the material-forming surface 51 is a semi-circular arc surface. Incense coils are usually spiral-shaped, and the arc surface can better wrap around the edges of the incense coil, preventing tilting or slippage during stacking. When the incense coil is placed downwards by the stacking and handling device 4, the arc surface can naturally guide it to fall downwards, improving the neatness of the stacking. The arc surface of the material-forming surface 51 fits against the outer edge of the incense coil, offsetting the lateral force during stacking and avoiding the "towering" phenomenon; it is also suitable for incense coils of different diameters or thicknesses, and the arc surface can accommodate a certain dimensional error; the automatic alignment function reduces the dependence on subsequent material forming and improves production efficiency.

[0039] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the material stacking mechanism further includes a second material stacking component 6 and a second driving component 61. The second driving component 61 is connected to the second material stacking component 6 to drive it to move vertically back and forth. The second material stacking component 6 and the first material stacking component 5 are arranged in a mirror image. The two can abut against each other and make the material stacking surface 51 surround the incense coil to stack the incense coil.

[0040] Understandably, the second forming component 6 and the first forming component 5 are arranged in a front-to-back arrangement, driven by a second driving component 61 such as a cylinder or electric push rod, enabling them to move vertically up and down. When the incense coils are placed on the platform by the stacking and handling component 4, the second forming component 6 descends from above, engaging with the curved surface of the first forming component 5 to clamp the incense coils from both sides, preventing them from tipping over or shifting. After completing the forming process, the second forming component 6 rises back to its original position, avoiding interference with subsequent stacking or unloading operations. The second forming component 6 and the first forming component 5 can abut against each other, forming a closed space when closed, ensuring that the incense coils are completely centered when stacked. Since the first forming component 5 has a fixed curved surface, while the second forming component 6 can move vertically, it can adapt to incense coil stacks of different heights. Compared to single-sided forming, double-sided clamping can more effectively prevent the incense coils from tilting, especially suitable for high-level stacking.

[0041] This utility model's technical solution utilizes an adjustable air inlet 221 and an adsorption plate 22 in its adsorption feeding mechanism. By employing negative pressure adsorption and staggered release, it avoids damage during the handling of incense coils and can simultaneously handle large quantities of incense coils. The stacking mechanism is equipped with bidirectional material-setting components to ensure that the incense coils are stacked neatly. From feeding and adsorption handling to stacking and material setting, no manual intervention is required throughout the entire process, significantly improving production efficiency. Multiple measures minimize the breakage rate of incense coils.
