Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incense coil production technology, and in particular to an incense coil stacking mechanism. 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 optimization in its detailed design and functional coverage. A significant drawback is the lack of an intelligent palletizing mechanism at the end of the production line. After drying, the incense coils still require manual layering and stacking, increasing labor costs and exacerbating the risk of 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 palletizing mechanism, which aims to automate the palletizing of finished products, improve work efficiency and yield, and reduce labor costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a coiled incense stacking mechanism, comprising:

[0005] The mounting frame has a material picking position and a material placing position;

[0006] The material handling and placement component is movably connected to the mounting frame and can reciprocate along the material handling and placement positions to form a material handling and placement stroke;

[0007] The first material component is set at the feeding position. A material surface is formed on the side of the first material component away from the feeding position. The material surface can constrain and flatten the edge of the incense coil.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the incense coil stacking mechanism further includes a stacking base and a feeding belt. The stacking base is disposed at the feeding position, and the feeding belt is disposed on one side of the stacking base. The stacking base has an extension that is connected to the feeding belt. Alternatively, the extension is disposed adjacent to the feeding belt with a gap less than or equal to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the incense coil.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first integral component is connected to a first driving member, which can cause the first integral component to move so that the stacked incense coils enter the feeding belt along the extension.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the mounting bracket is further connected to a second integral component and a second driving component. The second driving component is connected to the second integral component to drive it to perform vertical reciprocating movement. The second integral component is mirror-image of the first integral component, and the two can abut against each other and enclose the incense coil with the integral surface.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the mounting frame is provided with a guide rail, the material picking and placing component is movably connected to the guide rail, and the material picking and placing component is also connected to a third driving component to drive the material picking and placing component to reciprocate along the guide rail to complete the material picking and placing stroke.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the incense coil stacking mechanism further includes a conveyor belt, the end of which is located at the material picking position.

[0013] This utility model's technical solution employs a bidirectional material-aligning component to ensure neat stacking of incense coils, while the guide rail and drive components achieve high positioning accuracy. From stacking and material alignment to unloading, the entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly improving production efficiency. The curved material alignment prevents tilting, and the guide rail ensures smooth transport, with multiple measures minimizing the breakage rate of incense coils. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes an incense coil stacking mechanism, including a mounting frame 1, a material picking and placing component 2, and a first material straightening component 3. The mounting frame 1 has a picking position and a placing position. The material picking and placing component 2 is movably connected to the mounting frame 1 and can reciprocate along the picking position and the placing position to form a picking and placing stroke. The first material straightening component 3 is set at the placing position, and a material straightening surface 31 is formed on the side of the first material straightening component 3 away from the picking position. The material straightening surface 31 can constrain and flatten the edge of the incense coil.

[0023] Understandably, the mounting frame 1, as the load-bearing frame of the stacking mechanism, can be made of materials such as steel or aluminum alloy to ensure rigidity. The material handling component 2 can be a robotic arm or a suction cup, responsible for receiving the incense coils from the handling position and transferring them to the placement position for stacking. The first material handling component 3 is located at the placement position and is used to constrain the position of the incense coils, keeping them neat during stacking and preventing them from being skewed or loosely stacked. In this example, the first material handling component 3 has an arc-shaped material handling surface 31, on which the incense coils are placed to achieve the effect of stacking them neatly.

[0024] The forming surface 31 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 forming surface 31 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 picking device 2, the arc surface can naturally guide it towards the center of the placement position, improving the neatness of the stacking. The arc surface of the forming surface 31 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 forming and improves production efficiency.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the incense coil stacking mechanism further includes a stacking base 4 and a feeding belt 5. The stacking base 4 is disposed at the feeding position, and the feeding belt 5 is disposed on one side of the stacking base 4. The stacking base 4 has an extension 41, which is connected to the feeding belt 5. Alternatively, the extension 41 and the feeding belt 5 are disposed adjacent to each other and the gap is less than or equal to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the incense coil.

[0026] Understandably, the stacking base 4 serves as a platform for stacking incense coils, and the feeding belt 5 is used to receive the neatly stacked incense coils on the stacking base 4 and continuously transport them to downstream equipment such as packaging machines or collection baskets, avoiding manual handling and achieving fully automated assembly line operation. It is located on one side of the stacking base 4, opposite the first complete material 3, forming a discharge channel. The extension 41 is a transition structure extending from the stacking base 4 towards the feeding belt 5, its function being to seamlessly connect the stacking base 4 and the feeding belt 5, ensuring that the incense coils slide smoothly into the conveyor belt from the stacking position. The extension 41 can reduce height differences or gaps, preventing the incense coils from tipping over or breaking during transfer; the feeding process requires no manual intervention, and the feeding belt 5 can connect to various subsequent equipment, offering strong scalability.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first material component 3 is connected to the first driving component 32, which can move the first material component 3 to allow the stacked incense coils to enter the feeding belt 5 along the extension 41.

[0028] Understandably, the first driving component 32 can be driven by a cylinder, servo motor or linear module, etc., to push the first whole material 3 to move horizontally in the direction of the extension 41. It can precisely control the pushing stroke and force to avoid impact causing the incense coils to scatter. During the stacking stage, the arc surface remains stationary as a stacking reference surface. During the unloading stage, the whole material surface 31 is translated as a whole to push the incense coils to the extension 41 and enter the unloading section.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting bracket 1 is also connected to a second integral component 6 and a second driving component 61. The second driving component 61 is connected to the second integral component 6 to drive it to move vertically back and forth. The second integral component 6 and the first integral component 3 are mirror images of each other and can abut against each other and make the integral surface 31 surround the incense coil.

[0030] Understandably, the second incense coil assembly 6 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, arranged in a front-to-back configuration with the first assembly assembly 3. It is driven by a second drive component 61, such as a cylinder or electric push rod, enabling it to move vertically up and down. When the incense coil is placed onto the stacking base 4 by the stacking and handling component 2, the second assembly assembly 6 descends from above, engaging with the curved surface of the first assembly assembly 3 to clamp the incense coil from both sides, preventing it from tipping over or shifting. After completing the stacking process, the second assembly assembly 6 rises back to its original position, avoiding interference with subsequent stacking or unloading operations. The second assembly assembly 6 and the first assembly assembly 3 can abut against each other, forming a closed space when closed, ensuring the incense coil is completely centered during stacking. Because the first assembly assembly 3 has a fixed curved surface, while the second assembly assembly 6 can move vertically, it can accommodate stacks of incense coils of varying heights. Compared to single-sided stacking, double-sided clamping is more effective in preventing incense coil tilting, especially suitable for high-level stacking.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting frame 1 is provided with a guide rail 11, the material stacking and picking component 2 is movably connected to the guide rail 11, and the material stacking and picking component 2 is also connected to a third driving component 21 to drive the material stacking and picking component 2 to reciprocate along the guide rail 11 to complete the material picking and picking stroke.

[0032] Understandably, the guide rail 11 is used to constrain the movement trajectory of the material handling component 2 and reduce its frictional resistance. The third drive component 21 can be a cylinder, hydraulic rod, servo motor, or other structure that can achieve precise position control. After the material handling component 2 finishes placing the incense coils, it moves along the guide rail 11 to the material handling position to perform a new round of material handling and stacking.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the incense stacking mechanism further includes a conveyor belt 7, the end of which is located at the material picking position.

[0034] Understandably, the starting end of conveyor belt 7 is used to receive incense coils transported from other mechanisms, and the ending end is located at the palletizing mechanism, conveying the incense coils to the picking position for the palletizing pick-and-place unit 2 to pick them up. Conveyor belt 7 conveys the incense coils towards the palletizing mechanism at a constant speed. The palletizing pick-and-place unit 2 picks up the incense coils from the end of conveyor belt 7 and moves them to the palletizing base 4 for stacking. As an intermediate buffer conveyor belt, it coordinates the working rhythm of other mechanisms and the palletizing mechanism, avoids direct rigid docking between the two mechanisms, and improves the system's fault tolerance.

[0035] This utility model's technical solution employs a bidirectional material-aligning component to ensure neat stacking of incense coils, and coordinates with guide rail 11 and drive components to achieve high positioning accuracy. From stacking and material alignment to material discharge via unloading belt 5, no manual intervention is required throughout the entire process, significantly improving production efficiency. The curved surface material alignment prevents tilting, and the guide rail 11 ensures smooth transport. These multiple measures minimize the breakage rate of incense coils.
