[0002] As packaging speed increases, a dual-station packaging operation mode is available, where each packaging station corresponds to a material conveyor line to transport the packaged material to the palletizing station. However, since there is usually only one palletizing station, it is necessary to solve the problem of material package convergence between the two material conveyor lines, so that the material packages from the two material conveyor lines converge into one conveyor line before being output to the palletizing station.
[0003] Based on this, in order to achieve the above functions, this case arises, and a converging conveyor is proposed. Utility Model Content

The conveying planes of the first and second conveyors are located on the same horizontal plane, and the conveying directions of the first and second conveyors are parallel to each other. A transition plate is connected between the adjacent sides of the first and second conveyors. A baffle plate is provided on the frame at the discharge end of the first or second conveyor. A pusher plate is also provided on the frame, driven by a drive mechanism to reciprocate between the first and second conveyors. The translation direction of the pusher plate is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the material.

[0007] Preferably, there is a gap between one side of the transition plate and the side of the first conveyor belt of the first conveyor, and a gap between the other side of the transition plate and the side of the second conveyor belt of the second conveyor, so that the conveying planes of the first and second conveyors can smoothly transition without obstruction to the transition plate.
[0008] Preferably, the drive mechanism consists of a translation drive component and a lifting drive component.
[0009] Preferably, the translation drive assembly includes a push-bag cylinder whose cylinder body is fixedly connected to the frame, the piston rod of the push-bag cylinder being fixedly connected to a movable seat, and a slider-rail moving pair connecting the movable seat and the frame.

The top end of the side baffle is fixed to the frame, and there is a gap between the bottom end of the side baffle and the conveying plane of the second conveyor.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The converging conveyor is used at the discharge end of a double-discharge conveyor line of a packaging machine, allowing material packages on the double-discharge conveyor line to be transported to the first and second conveyors respectively. Material packages on the conveyor without baffles are directly discharged to the palletizing station, while material packages on the conveyor with baffles are first blocked by the baffles, and then pushed by the pusher plate through the transition plate to the conveyor without baffles, thus completing the converging process.
[0016] This technology enables the material packages from the dual-outlet conveyor lines of the packaging machine to be combined into a single conveyor line before being output to the palletizing station.

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a converging conveyor, including a frame 1, on which a first conveyor and a second conveyor are mounted. The conveying planes of the first and second conveyors are located on the same horizontal plane, and the conveying directions of the first and second conveyors are parallel to each other. A transition plate 2 is connected between adjacent sides of the first and second conveyors. A baffle plate 5 is provided on the frame at the discharge end of the first conveyor 3 or the second conveyor 4. A pusher plate 6 is also provided on the frame, which is driven by a drive mechanism to reciprocate between the first and second conveyors. The translation direction of the pusher plate is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the material.
[0024] In this embodiment of the present invention, one side of the transition plate rests against and is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 7 of the first conveyor, and the other side of the transition plate rests against and is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame of the second conveyor.
[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, there is a connection gap between one side of the transition plate and the side of the first conveyor belt of the first conveyor, and a connection gap between the other side of the transition plate and the side of the second conveyor belt of the second conveyor, so that the conveying planes of the first and second conveyors can smoothly transition without obstruction to the transition plate.
[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the driving mechanism consists of a translational driving component and a lifting driving component.
[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the translation drive assembly includes a push-bag cylinder 8 whose cylinder body is fixedly connected to the frame, a movable seat 9 whose piston rod is fixedly connected to the movable seat 9, and a slider slide rail moving pair 10 connected between the movable seat 9 and the frame.
[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the lifting drive assembly includes a double piston rod cylinder 12, the top end of the cylinder body of the double piston rod cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable seat, and the double piston rods of the double piston rod cylinder face downward and are fixedly connected to the pusher plate.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the pusher plate is located above the conveying plane of the first and second conveyors.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the cross-sectional shape of the pusher plate is a right triangle, and its long right-angled side is used for pushing materials.
[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, the top end of the baffle plate is fixed to the frame, and there is a gap between the bottom end of the baffle plate and the conveying plane of the first conveyor or the second conveyor.
[0032] In this embodiment of the utility model, the baffle plate is disposed at the discharge end of the first conveyor, and a side baffle 13 fixed to the frame is disposed above the outer side of the conveying plane of the second conveyor. The side baffle is used to block the material bag pushed from the first conveyor.
[0033] The top of the side baffle is fixed to the frame, and there is a gap between the bottom of the side baffle and the conveying plane of the second conveyor.
[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the working principle of the converging conveyor is as follows: The converging conveyor is used at the discharge end of a double-discharge conveyor line of a packaging machine, allowing material packages 11 on the double-discharge conveyor line to be conveyed to the first and second conveyors respectively. Material packages on the conveyor without baffles are directly discharged to the palletizing station, while material packages on the conveyor with baffles are initially blocked by the baffles. After the material packages on the conveyor without baffles are conveyed out, the pusher plate moves horizontally and pushes the material packages blocked by the baffles through a transition plate onto the conveyor without baffles, thus completing the converging process.
[0035] When the pusher plate returns to its original position, it can be controlled to rise by a double piston rod cylinder so that it does not affect (obstruct) the entry of subsequent material packages into the first and second conveyors during the translation and return process. After the pusher plate returns to the initial pusher position, the double piston rod cylinder controls the pusher plate to descend.
[0036] This confluence conveyor enables the material packages from the dual-outlet conveyor lines of the packaging machine to be combined into a single conveyor line before being output to the palletizing station.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
