Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of product conveying technology, specifically relating to a channeling device for a product conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] On a milk packing production line, the sorting device is a key piece of equipment in the automated production process. It is mainly used to distribute continuously conveyed products (such as Tetra Pak cartons, bottled milk, etc.) to different packing channels or workstations according to preset rules, thereby achieving efficient and orderly packing operations.

[0003] Existing lane-changing devices generally employ a top cylinder 1 actuating lane-changing structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a top cylinder 1 and a left channel 5 and a right channel 6 composed of a first package guard plate 2, a second package guard plate 3, and a dividing plate 4. The second package guard plate 3 and the dividing plate 4 are connected to the output end of the top cylinder 1. In use, the dividing device is connected behind the clamping belt 7, splitting the products conveyed by the clamping belt 7 into two paths. Specifically, the top cylinder 1 controls the second package guard plate 3 and the dividing plate 4 to swing left and right to change lanes. When the second package guard plate 3 and the dividing plate 4 swing to the left, the clamping belt 7 connects to the right channel 6, and the products are conveyed through the right channel 6; when the second package guard plate 3 and the dividing plate 4 swing to the right, the clamping belt 7 connects to the left channel 5, and the products are conveyed through the left channel 5. However, in actual operation, this dividing device has several problems:

[0004] Firstly, product overturning frequently occurs, causing subsequent processes to be disrupted and affecting production. Secondly, each time the second package guard plate 3 and the guide plate 4 swing to the right to change lanes, the right channel 6 deviates to the right from the bottom conveyor belt. As a result, the last product in the right channel 6 often gets stuck. When the second package guard plate 3 and the guide plate 4 swing to the left to change lanes again, the product is released, and due to inertia, it tends to tip backward onto the bottom conveyor belt.

[0005] Secondly, it is not applicable to products of different specifications. The left and right positions of the first package guard plate 2 and the second package guard plate 3, as well as the height of the top cylinder 1, cannot be adjusted, which means that the channeling device can only be adapted to one or a few specific product specifications, resulting in poor applicability. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this utility model aims to provide a channeling device for product conveying lines, thereby improving the applicability of the channeling device and preventing the reverse packaging of packages.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A channeling device for a product conveying line includes a main conveying channel and a first and second sub-conveyor channels connected to the main conveying channel via a guide channel; the guide channel includes a first guide channel guard plate and a second guide channel guard plate mounted on both sides of the product conveying line, wherein the first guide channel guard plate includes a transition plate and a guide plate hinged to the transition plate; it also includes a channeling cylinder disposed on the outside of the guide plate, the output end of the channeling cylinder being hinged to the outer surface of the guide plate; the channeling cylinder can drive the guide plate to swing so that the outlet of the guide channel is connected to the inlet of the first sub-conveyor channel, or so that the outlet of the guide channel is connected to the inlet of the second sub-conveyor channel;

[0008] It also includes an adjustment bracket that can be used to adjust the distance between the first guard plate and the second guard plate of the guide channel;

[0009] The transition plate is mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line via an adjusting bracket;

[0010] The channeling cylinder is mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line via an adjusting bracket, and the guide plate is mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line via the channeling cylinder.

[0011] As a limitation of this utility model, the adjusting bracket includes a first adjusting bracket for assembling the transition plate on the side wall of the product conveyor line and a second adjusting bracket for assembling the channel cylinder on the side wall of the product conveyor line.

[0012] As a further limitation of this utility model, the first adjusting bracket includes an adjusting frame fixedly mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line and a connecting rod horizontally passing through the adjusting frame and fixedly positioned by a first bolt;

[0013] One end of the connecting rod is vertically fixed to the side of the transition plate. Loosening the first bolt can adjust the fixed position of the connecting rod on the adjustment frame, so that the end of the connecting rod connected to the transition plate moves forward or backward.

[0014] As a further limitation of this utility model, the adjusting frame includes a mounting base fixedly mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line, a vertical rod fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and a clamping block assembled on the vertical rod.

[0015] The clamping block is provided with mounting holes for inserting connecting rods.

[0016] As a further definition of this utility model, the second adjusting bracket includes a profile, a connecting block, and an L-shaped bracket; the profile is vertically fixed on the side wall of the product conveyor line, and an assembly groove is provided on the profile along its length; the connecting block is slidably assembled in the assembly groove; the bottom of the L-shaped bracket abuts against the upper surface of the profile and is fastened to the connecting block by a second bolt.

[0017] The split cylinder is mounted on an L-shaped bracket.

[0018] As a further limitation of this utility model, it also includes a clamping cylinder mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line, the clamping cylinder being located on the opposite side of the transition plate, and the output end of the clamping cylinder facing the transition plate.

[0019] A pressure block is mounted on the output end of the clamping cylinder, and the surface of the pressure block is covered with a silicone plate.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0021] (1) This utility model avoids the phenomenon of overturning caused by changing the lane by improving the lane changing structure. Specifically, the guide plate is driven by the lane-changing cylinder to swing or return to the second guard plate of the guide channel. The guide plate guides the product to change lanes, so that the product is transported from the main conveying channel to the second sub-conveying channel, or from the main conveying channel to the first sub-conveying channel. When changing lanes, neither the first sub-conveying channel nor the second sub-conveying channel deviates from the product conveying line below. The product changes lanes more smoothly, avoiding the phenomenon of bag jamming when changing lanes, thereby avoiding the overturning of the product and ensuring the normal operation of each process of the production line.

[0022] (2) This utility model moves the channel cylinder to the side, which, compared to the top-mounted method in the prior art, solves the problem that the height of the channel cylinder affects product passability, ensuring that products of any height can pass smoothly. Simultaneously, the first guide plate of this utility model is mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line via an adjusting bracket. The adjusting bracket allows the first guide plate to be moved closer to or further away from the second guide plate, thereby adjusting the conveying width to accommodate products of different widths. In summary, this utility model can adapt to products of various specifications and has wider applicability.

[0023] (3) This utility model also includes a clamping cylinder. Before changing lanes, the clamping cylinder can clamp the product as needed and pause the forward conveying of the product to ensure that all the products in front have passed the guide plate when changing lanes, thus avoiding the situation where the product gets stuck when the guide plate changes lanes and the product is crushed. The clamping cylinder in this utility model has the function of delaying lane separation. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] This embodiment discloses a channeling device for a product conveying line, which can be applied to a milk boxing production line to distribute continuously conveyed products into different conveying channels according to preset rules, so as to achieve efficient and orderly boxing operations.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, this embodiment includes a main conveyor channel 8 and a first sub-conveyor channel 9 and a second sub-conveyor channel 10 connected to the main conveyor channel 8 via a guide channel 11. The main conveyor channel 8, guide channel 11, first sub-conveyor channel 9, and second sub-conveyor channel 10 are mounted above the product conveyor line 12 to ensure that products pass smoothly on the product conveyor line 12 and to prevent products from falling off during transport. The product conveyor line 12 is a chain conveyor line in the prior art, including a main conveyor line and a first sub-conveyor line and a second sub-conveyor line connected to the main conveyor line.

[0037] The main conveying channel 8 is composed of main conveying channel guard plates 13 mounted on both sides of the main conveying line; the first sub-conveying channel 9 is composed of first sub-conveying channel guard plates 14 mounted on both sides of the first sub-conveying line; the second sub-conveying channel 10 is composed of second sub-conveying channel guard plates 15 mounted on both sides of the second sub-conveying line. The guide channel 11 is composed of a guide channel first guard plate 16 and a guide channel second guard plate 17 mounted at the junction of the main conveying channel 8 and the sub-conveying channel. The guide channel first guard plate 16 is mounted on the side wall of the product conveying line 12 by an adjusting bracket. In actual use, the distance between the guide channel first guard plate 16 and the guide channel second guard plate 17 can be adjusted by the adjusting bracket to adapt to the width of the product.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the first guide plate 16 of the guide channel includes a transition plate 18 and a guide plate 19 hinged to the transition plate 18. Both the transition plate 18 and the guide plate 19 are rectangular steel plates. The second guide plate 17 of the guide channel is connected between the main conveying channel guide plate 13 and the second sub-conveying channel guide plate 15, and is an irregularly shaped steel plate with arcs at both ends.

[0039] The adjusting bracket includes a first adjusting bracket 20 and a second adjusting bracket 33. The first adjusting bracket 20 is used to assemble the transition plate 18 onto the side wall of the product conveyor line 12, and the second adjusting bracket 33 is used to assemble the following channel cylinder 32 onto the side wall of the product conveyor line 12. Figure 2 As shown, the first adjusting bracket 20 includes an adjusting frame 21 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line 12 and a connecting rod 22 horizontally passing through the adjusting frame 21 and fastened in position by a first bolt 30. The adjusting frame 21 includes a mounting base 23, a vertical rod 24, and clamping blocks 25. The mounting base 23 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line 12, the vertical rod 24 is vertically fixedly mounted on the mounting base 23, and the clamping blocks 25 are mounted on the vertical rod 24. In this embodiment, two clamping blocks 25 are mounted on the vertical rod 24. Figure 5As shown, the clamping block 25 is provided with a vertical rod mounting hole 26 and an assembly hole 27 for passing through a connecting rod 22, and the axis of the assembly hole 27 is perpendicular to the axis of the vertical rod mounting hole 26. Furthermore, the clamping block 25 is provided with a first notch 28 communicating with the assembly hole 27. A first bolt 30 is installed at the first notch 28. After loosening the first bolt 30, the first notch 28 opens, and the connecting rod 22 passing through the assembly hole 27 can slide to adjust its horizontal position. After tightening the first bolt 30, the first notch 28 closes, and the assembly hole 27 clamps the connecting rod 22 to fix the connecting rod 22 on the clamping block 25. Similarly, the clamping block 25 is provided with a second notch 29 that communicates with the vertical rod mounting hole 26. A third bolt 31 is fitted at the second notch 29. After the third bolt 31 is loosened, the second notch 29 opens. At this time, the clamping block 25 can slide up and down on the vertical rod 24 to adjust its height. After the third bolt 31 is tightened, the second notch 29 closes. At this time, the vertical rod mounting hole 26 grips the vertical rod 24 to fix the clamping block 25 on the vertical rod 24.

[0040] One connecting rod 22 is mounted on each clamp 25, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the connecting rod 22 is vertically fixed to the side of the transition plate 18. The first adjusting bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the transition plate 18 through the end of the connecting rod 22, thus assembling the transition plate 18 onto the side wall of the product conveyor line 12. In this embodiment, two first adjusting brackets 20 are configured.

[0041] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the transition plate 18, loosen the first bolt 30 to allow the connecting rod 22 to slide on the clamping block 25.

[0042] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a channel cylinder 32, such as Figure 2 As shown, the channeling cylinder 32 is mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line 12 via the second adjusting bracket 33, located outside the guide plate 19, and the output end of the channeling cylinder 32 faces the guide plate 19 and is hinged to the outer surface of the guide plate 19. In use, the channeling cylinder 32 can drive the guide plate 19 to swing, so that the outlet of the guide channel 11 connects to the inlet of the first sub-conveying channel 9, or so that the outlet of the guide channel 11 connects to the inlet of the second sub-conveying channel 10. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, after the output end of the branch cylinder 32 extends, the guide plate 19 rotates to the inlet of the second branch conveying channel 10, so that the outlet of the guide channel 11 connects with the inlet of the second branch conveying channel 10, guiding the product from the main conveying channel 8 through the guide channel 11 to the second branch conveying channel 10; as Figure 4 As shown, after the output end of the branch cylinder 32 retracts, the guide plate 19 returns to its original position, so that the outlet of the guide channel 11 is connected to the inlet of the first branch conveying channel 9. Since the guide channel 11 and the first branch conveying channel 9 are collinear, the product is conveyed from the main conveying channel 8 through the guide channel 11 to the inlet of the first branch conveying channel 9.

[0043] The structure of the second adjustment bracket 33 is further explained here, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second adjusting bracket 33 includes a profile 34, a connecting block 35, and an L-shaped bracket 36. The profile 34 is vertically fixed to the side wall of the product conveyor line 12, and an assembly groove 37 is provided on the profile 34 along its length. The connecting block 35 is slidably assembled in the assembly groove 37. In this embodiment, two connecting blocks 35 are assembled in the assembly groove 37. The bottom of the L-shaped bracket 36 abuts against the upper surface of the profile 34 and is fastened to the connecting block 35 by a second bolt 38. The top of the L-shaped bracket 36 is fixedly assembled with the aforementioned channel cylinder 32. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the guide plate 19, the second bolt 38 is loosened, allowing the connecting block 35 to slide to the corresponding position in the assembly groove 37 of the profile 34. Then, the second bolt 38 is tightened, so that the top of the connecting block 35 is in close contact with the top of the assembly groove 37, and the bottom of the L-shaped bracket 36 is in close contact with the upper surface of the profile 34. The L-shaped bracket 36 is then fixed to the profile 34 by friction.

[0044] Furthermore, this embodiment also includes a clamping cylinder 39 mounted on the side wall of the product conveyor line 12. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the clamping cylinder 39 is located on the opposite side of the transition plate 18, and the output end of the clamping cylinder 39 faces the transition plate 18. This output end can extend towards the transition plate 18 to clamp the passing product, or retract to release the clamped product. To prevent the product from bursting, in this embodiment, a PC material pressure block 40 is installed on the output end of the clamping cylinder 39, and a silicone plate is fixed on the front surface of the pressure block 40.
