Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically relating to a semi-automatic cage unloading machine to prevent product damage and deformation. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of automated production technology, semi-automatic cage unloading machines are increasingly widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. They are mainly used to unload cages containing products from a stacked state onto a conveyor belt for subsequent production and processing.

[0003] To prevent product breakage and deformation during unloading, the semi-automatic cage unloading machine employs technologies such as buffer devices and flexible gripping structures. These technologies protect the product to a certain extent, preventing damage caused by external impacts or improper clamping, and effectively improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0004] However, existing semi-automatic cage unloading machines cannot unload stacked cages sequentially from top to bottom onto the conveyor belt when handling stacked cages. In actual operation, manual assistance is often required to adjust the order of the cages, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces production efficiency. In addition, disordered unloading can easily lead to collisions between cages. Even with measures to prevent product breakage and deformation, improper stacking and unloading of cages can still cause structural damage to the cages, indirectly affecting the integrity of the internal products. At the same time, frequent manual intervention also carries the risk of operational errors, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern large-scale, efficient, and stable production. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned above in the background technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a semi-automatic cage unloading machine to prevent product breakage and deformation.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A semi-automatic cage unloading machine for preventing product breakage and deformation includes a conveyor line and a mounting frame. A machine frame is installed inside the mounting frame, and a drive mechanism is mounted on the top of the machine frame. The power output end of the drive mechanism is connected to a lifting mechanism. A crossbeam is mounted on the outer side of the mounting frame, and a cover plate is mounted on the top. An electric guide rail is mounted at the bottom center of the cover plate, and an unloading push plate with an L-shaped structure is connected to the power output end of the electric guide rail. Infrared sensors are mounted on both sides of the cover plate on the electric guide rail, and the infrared sensors are connected to the drive mechanism. Support seats are mounted on both outer sides of the cover plate, and the support seats are mounted on the conveyor line.

[0008] Further specifying, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on the top of the frame, a drive wheel connected to the power output end of the drive motor, a drive belt connected to the drive wheel, a transmission wheel connected to the other side of the drive belt, a rotating shaft connected to the transmission wheel, and bearing seats mounted on both sides of the rotating shaft, the bearing seats being fixedly mounted on the top of the frame. This structural design facilitates stable movement of the drive lifting mechanism and facilitates subsequent unloading operations.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes lifting gears mounted on both sides of a rotating shaft, with a lifting chain hinged to each gear. A lifting assembly is connected to one side of the lifting chain, and a counterweight assembly is connected to the other side. This structural design ensures the stability of the lifting motion.

[0010] Further specifying, the lifting assembly includes a lifting plate connected to the lifting chain, sliders mounted on both sides of the lifting plate, slide rails slidably connected to the sliders, the slide rails mounted on the outer side of the frame, and a bearing plate fixedly mounted on the bottom outer side of the lifting plate. This structural design facilitates the upward movement of the stacked cages.

[0011] Further specifying, the counterweight assembly includes a counterweight box connected to the lifting chain, a plurality of counterweight blocks installed inside the counterweight box, guide wheels installed on both outer sides of the counterweight box, and triangular guide rails installed on both inner sides of the frame opposite the guide wheels, with the guide wheels slidably mounted on the triangular guide rails. This structural design balances the weight distribution within the frame, optimizing the operating efficiency and safety of the lifting assembly.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a drive mechanism to drive a lifting mechanism to gradually move the stacked cages upwards. With the help of an electric guide rail driven unloading push plate, the topmost cages can be accurately pushed onto the conveyor line one by one. There is no need for manual intervention to adjust the order of the cages, which effectively reduces labor costs, significantly improves production efficiency, and meets the needs of modern large-scale production.

[0014] 2. This utility model adopts the method of placing cage boxes one by one. During the unloading process, adjacent cage boxes always remain relatively stationary, which effectively prevents collisions between cage boxes, reduces the structural damage caused by collisions, and thus better protects the integrity of the internal products.

[0015] 3. This utility model uses the linkage control of infrared sensors and drive motors to monitor the position of the cage in real time and automatically control the start and stop of the lifting mechanism, thereby realizing the automation and precision of the cage unloading process, avoiding the risks caused by human operation errors, and ensuring efficient and stable operation of the production process.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example 1, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a semi-automatic cage unloading machine for preventing product breakage and deformation includes a frame 3 installed inside the mounting frame 2, a drive mechanism 4 installed on the top of the frame 3, a lifting mechanism 5 connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism 4, a crossbeam 6 installed on the outside of the mounting frame 2, a cover plate 7 installed on the top of the cover plate 2, an electric guide rail 8 installed at the bottom center of the cover plate 7, an unloading push plate 9 connected to the power output end of the electric guide rail 8, the unloading push plate 9 being L-shaped, infrared sensors installed on both sides of the cover plate 7 on the electric guide rail 8, the infrared sensors being connected to the drive mechanism 4, and support seats 10 installed on both sides of the outer side of the cover plate 7, the support seats 10 being installed on the conveyor line 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, during use, the stacked cage boxes are transported to the lifting mechanism 5 via a transfer trolley. Then, the drive mechanism 4 is activated, which drives the lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives the transfer trolley, causing the transfer trolley to move the cage boxes upwards. When the topmost cage box is located above the conveyor line 1, the electric guide rail 8 is activated, which drives the unloading push plate 9 to move. The unloading push plate 9 pushes the topmost cage box from the top of the stacked cage boxes onto the conveyor line 1, where it is transported by the conveyor line 1, thus achieving automatic placement of the cage boxes. After being pushed out, the electric guide rail 8 drives the unloading push plate 9 to reset, and the drive mechanism 4 drives the lifting mechanism 5 to move upwards again. The unloading push plate 9 then pushes the cage box onto the conveyor line 1, achieving placement of the cage boxes one by one. This prevents collisions between cage boxes during unloading and reduces damage to the cage box structure.

[0026] Example 2, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1: the drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 11 mounted on the top of the frame 3, a drive wheel 12 connected to the power output end of the drive motor 11, a drive belt 13 connected to the drive wheel 12, a transmission wheel 14 connected to the other side of the drive belt 13, a rotating shaft 15 connected to the transmission wheel 14, bearing seats 16 mounted on both sides of the rotating shaft 15, and the bearing seats 16 fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, when in use, the drive motor 11 is started, the drive motor 11 drives the drive wheel 12, the drive wheel 12 drives the drive belt 13, the drive belt 13 drives the transmission wheel 14, the transmission wheel 14 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate in the bearing seat 16, and the rotating shaft 15 drives the lifting mechanism 5 to move.

[0028] The drive motor 11 is also connected to an infrared sensor. When the lifting mechanism 5 moves the stacked cages upward, the infrared sensor detects the distance to the top cage in real time. When the infrared sensor detects a cage, it sends a signal to the drive motor 11, causing the drive motor 11 to stop moving. At this time, the top cage is located on the upper side of the conveyor line 1. Then, the unloading push plate 9 can be driven by the electric guide rail 8 to push the top cage out for unloading. After the top cage is unloaded and the unloading push plate 9 is reset, the infrared sensor loses its detection signal, and the drive motor 11 continues to move until the infrared sensor detects the cage signal again. The above steps are repeated, so that the cages can be placed one by one, preventing collisions between cages during unloading and reducing damage to the cage structure.

[0029] Example 3, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to the embodiment 1: the lifting mechanism 5 includes lifting gears 17 installed on both sides of the rotating shaft 15, the lifting gears 17 are hinged to the lifting chain 18, one side of the lifting chain 18 is connected to the lifting component 19, and the other side of the lifting chain 18 is connected to the counterweight component 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the rotating shaft 15 drives the lifting gears 17 on both sides to rotate, and the lifting gears 17 drive the meshing lifting chain 18 to move, so that the lifting chain 18 on one side drives the lifting assembly 19 to move upward, and the lifting chain 18 on the other side drives the counterweight assembly 20 to move downward, thereby ensuring the stability of the lifting movement.

[0031] Example 4, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 3: the lifting assembly 19 includes a lifting plate 21 connected to the lifting chain 18, sliders 22 are installed on both sides of the lifting plate 21, slide rails 23 are slidably connected to the sliders 22, slide rails 23 are installed on the outside of the frame 3, and a bearing plate 24 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outside of the lifting plate 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, during use, the lifting chain 18 drives the lifting plate 21, the lifting plate 21 drives the slider 22 to slide along the guide rail 23, and the lifting plate 21 drives the bearing plate 24, the bearing plate 24 drives the stacked cages of the transfer trolley to move upward for unloading.

[0033] Example 5, as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 3: the counterweight assembly 20 includes a counterweight box 25 connected to the lifting chain 18, a plurality of counterweight blocks 26 are installed inside the counterweight box 25, guide wheels 27 are installed on the outer two sides of the counterweight box 25, and triangular guide rails 28 are installed on the inner two sides of the frame 3 at the guide wheels 27, and the guide wheels 27 are slidably installed on the triangular guide rails 28.

[0034] In this embodiment, during use, as one side of the lifting chain 18 drives the lifting plate 21 upward, the other side of the lifting chain 18 drives the counterweight box 25. Since the counterweight box 25 is equipped with a counterweight block 26 and a guide wheel 27 on the outside, the counterweight box 25 slides on the triangular guide rail 28 through the guide wheel 27 during the downward movement of the lifting chain 18, ensuring the smoothness of the sliding and preventing shaking. This balances the weight distribution within the frame 3 and optimizes the operating efficiency and safety of the lifting assembly 19.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
