Case packer conveyor mechanism

Abstract

This utility model discloses a conveying mechanism for a case packing machine, relating to the field of case packing machine technology. It addresses the technical problem of inconsistent placement positions of bagged food in current conveying mechanisms, leading to deviations when cooperating with the negative pressure suction cups at the rear. The case packing machine conveying mechanism includes a placement conveying component comprising several placement stations. Each placement station includes a rear baffle and a placement ramp, with the ramp being lower at the front and higher at the rear. The frontmost placement station of the placement conveying component has a front baffle. Using this solution for material conveying, the material is positioned at the bottom of the front end of each placement station. The material positions at each placement station are relatively uniform, allowing for better coordination with the pre-set motion trajectory of the negative pressure suction cups for material suction, reducing the likelihood of deviations. Therefore, it solves the technical problem of inconsistent placement positions of bagged food in current conveying mechanisms, which easily leads to deviations when cooperating with the negative pressure suction cups at the rear.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of case packing machine technology, and in particular to the case packing machine conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The conveyor mechanism of a case packing machine is responsible for material transport within a steering conveyor and is widely used in food processing and packaging. For bagged foods (such as ice cream), the conveyor mechanism of a case packing machine is generally used for feeding. Its front-end equipment is another feeder, which sequentially delivers the bagged foods to the placement station of the conveyor mechanism for transport. At the end of the conveyor, a robotic arm is located at the top, and a row of negative pressure suction cups at the bottom. The negative pressure suction cups and the robotic arm are responsible for adsorbing, transferring, and placing the bagged foods into cases, thus completing the case packing operation.

[0003] The current conveyor system has flat bottoms at the placement stations, with partitions separating the stations. However, since the width of the bagged food being transported is generally smaller than the spacing between the partitions, it cannot be perfectly aligned on both sides and placed in the placement station. Therefore, the positions of each bagged food item in its corresponding placement station are not uniform. However, the movement trajectory of the negative pressure suction cup is a fixed route. When there is a deviation between the placement position of the bagged food item and the suction position of the negative pressure suction cup, it is easy for the suction cup to fail to pick up the food, causing a small number of bagged food items with misaligned positions to fall off during the suction and packing process. This needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above solution in actual production and implementation, it has been modified and improved. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking the best, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after a lot of ingenuity and testing, a case packing machine conveyor mechanism is specially provided to solve the technical problem that the current conveyor mechanism has inconsistent placement when carrying bagged food, and is prone to deviation when cooperating with the negative pressure suction cup at the rear end. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a conveying mechanism for a carton packing machine, which solves the technical problem that the placement of the current conveying mechanism is inconsistent when carrying bagged food, and that deviations easily occur when it is coordinated with the negative pressure suction cup at the rear end.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] The case packing machine conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame, on which a conveyor belt and a drive motor for driving the conveyor belt are mounted. A placement conveyor assembly is mounted on the conveyor belt, and the placement conveyor assembly includes several placement stations. Each placement station includes a rear baffle and a placement ramp. The placement ramp is lower in the front and higher in the back. Along the transport direction of the conveyor belt, the front end of the placement station at the foremost position of the placement conveyor assembly is provided with a front baffle.

[0008] The foremost placement station has a front baffle and a rear baffle, with a placement ramp in the middle, forming a placement area with an inclined bottom. The rear placement stations have the rear baffle of the previous placement station and its own rear baffle, with a placement ramp in the middle, also forming a placement area with an inclined bottom. When the material is conveyed to the placement station, the material (bagged food) falls into the inclined surface at the bottom of the placement area and slides to the bottom of the foremost station according to the inclination. The material in each placement station falls to the bottom in this way, thus achieving a relatively uniform material position. This, combined with the pre-positioned negative pressure suction cup, enables precise material picking and reduces the likelihood of deviation.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the lowest end of the placement slope of the placement station is arranged in a non-contact, adjacent manner with the adjacent placement station.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the placement station is provided with connecting bolt holes, the conveyor belt is provided with an mounting platform, and the placement station is mounted on the mounting platform using bolts.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the placement station is an integrated structure, and the slope and inclination of the placement slope of all placement stations are consistent with the specifications.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the conveyor belt is provided with two parallel belts, each belt equipped with a drive device. The drive device is located at the bottom of the conveyor frame. The drive device drives the transmission belt, which is a very conventional technology. Those skilled in the art should understand the relevant technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the placement and conveying components are provided in two sets.

[0014] Two sets of placement and conveying components work alternately. When one set of placement and conveying components is on top, the other set is on the bottom. After one set completes feeding with the negative pressure suction cup, the other set receives the material and continues to convey it towards the negative pressure suction cup.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This solution is used for conveying materials (bagged food). The material is located at the bottom of the front end of the placement station. The material positions at each placement station are relatively uniform. This uniform position can better cooperate with the negative pressure suction cup with the pre-set motion trajectory to pick up the material, and it is less likely to deviate. Therefore, it solves the technical problem that the placement stations of the current conveying mechanism are not uniform when carrying bagged food, and it is easy to deviate when cooperating with the negative pressure suction cup at the rear end.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0033] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the case packing machine conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 and a drive motor 8 for driving the conveyor belt 2 are provided on the conveyor frame 1, a placement conveyor assembly 3 is provided on the conveyor belt 2, the placement conveyor assembly 3 includes several placement stations 6, the placement station 6 includes a rear baffle 4 and a placement ramp 5, the placement ramp 5 is lower in the front and higher in the back, along the transport direction of the conveyor belt 2, the front end of the placement station 6 at the foremost end of the placement conveyor assembly 3 is provided with a front baffle 9.

[0036] The foremost placement station 6 has a front baffle 9 and a rear baffle 4 at the front and back, respectively, and a placement ramp 5 in the middle, forming a placement area with an inclined bottom. The rear placement station 6 has the rear baffle 4 of the previous placement station 6 at the front and back, respectively, and a placement ramp 5 in the middle, also forming a placement area with an inclined bottom. When the material is conveyed to the placement station 6, the material (bagged food) falls into the inclined surface at the bottom of the placement area and slides to the bottom of the foremost position according to the inclination. The material in each placement station 6 falls to the bottom in this way, thus achieving a relatively uniform material position. This, combined with the pre-positioned negative pressure suction cup 12, enables precise material picking and reduces the likelihood of deviation.

[0037] The lowest end of the placement slope 5 at placement station 6 is arranged in a non-contact proximity with the adjacent placement station 6.

[0038] The placement station 6 is equipped with connecting bolt holes 7, and the conveyor belt 2 is equipped with an installation platform. The placement station 6 is installed on the installation platform using bolts.

[0039] The placement station 6 is an integrated structure, and the slope and slope specifications of the placement slope 5 of all placement stations 6 are consistent.

[0040] The conveyor belt 2 has two parallel sections, and each of the two conveyor belts 2 is equipped with a drive device. The drive device is located at the bottom of the conveyor frame 1. The drive device drives the transmission belt, which is a very conventional technology. Those skilled in the art should understand the relevant technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0041] There are two sets of placement and delivery components 3.

[0042] Two sets of placement and conveying components 3 work alternately. When one set of placement and conveying components 3 is above, the other set is below. After one set completes feeding with the negative pressure suction cup 12, the other set receives the material and continues to convey it towards the negative pressure suction cup 12.

[0043] in Figures 7-9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of the bagged food 10 in a state of transport, combined with text for easier understanding.

[0044] Figure 11 , Figure 12 The diagrams show the structure of the negative pressure suction cup 12 mechanism 13 that works with this solution, and the diagram showing how this solution works with other components in a packing machine. The structures of the pressure tank 11 and the negative pressure suction cup 12 can be understood intuitively.

[0045] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0046] This solution is used for conveying materials (bagged food). The material is located at the bottom of the front end of the placement station. The material positions at each placement station are relatively uniform. This uniform position can better cooperate with the negative pressure suction cup with the pre-set motion trajectory to pick up the material, and it is less likely to deviate. Therefore, it solves the technical problem that the placement stations of the current conveying mechanism are not uniform when carrying bagged food, and it is easy to deviate when cooperating with the negative pressure suction cup at the rear end.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
