Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly line production equipment technology, and in particular to a track conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Film bag packaging is widely used for liquid packaging. During production, the film bag enters the filling equipment to complete the liquid filling and sealing. The filled film bag is then placed on the conveyor channel of the conveyor equipment and sent to the automatic bag stacking machine. The robotic arm of the automatic bag stacking machine grabs the film bag from the conveyor equipment and puts it into the packaging box.

[0003] When film bags fall from the filling equipment onto the conveyor, two bags often overlap. When the robotic arm picks up the bags, it may grab two bags at once, leading to incorrect quantities in the boxes. Sometimes, two bags may even break during the robotic arm's grasp, causing liquid leakage, disrupting production and causing contamination. The current operation involves workers manually sorting these bags on the conveyor, which places a heavy burden on the production line workers.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rail transport device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a track conveying device to automatically sort and stack film bags for packaging, thereby solving the problem of heavy workload for workers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a track conveying device, including a frame, a conveyor belt, and a gantry lever mechanism. The frame is provided with a transport channel, and the conveyor belt is located in the transport channel to drive the film bag packaging to be transported from upstream to downstream along the transport channel. The gantry lever mechanism includes a horizontal lever and two vertical support rods. The two vertical support rods are installed on the frame and located on both sides of the transport channel. The horizontal lever is fixed to the top of the two vertical support rods and spans over the transport channel. The distance between the horizontal lever and the conveyor belt is 1.3 to 1.8 times the height of the film bag packaging.

[0007] Preferably, each of the vertical support rods includes a lower support rod, an upper support rod, and a locking assembly. The lower support rod is installed on the frame, and the upper support rod is sleeved on the lower support rod and can extend and retract along the axial direction of the lower support rod. The upper support rod or the lower support rod is provided with a locking hole, and the locking assembly is provided in the locking hole to fix the upper support rod and the lower support rod.

[0008] Preferably, the lower support rod is made of a hollow tube, and the locking hole is provided on the lower support rod.

[0009] Preferably, the conveyor belt is a track or a rubberized belt.

[0010] Preferably, the frame includes legs and a conveyor platform disposed on the legs, and the transport channel is disposed on the conveyor platform.

[0011] Preferably, the track conveying equipment further includes a first alarm device, which includes a first sensor and a first alarm. The first sensor is located upstream of the gantry lever mechanism. The first sensor is connected to the first alarm. When the first sensor detects blockage of the film bag packaging upstream of the gantry lever mechanism, the first alarm sounds an alarm.

[0012] Preferably, the track conveying equipment further includes a second alarm device, which includes a second sensor and a second alarm. The second sensor is located on the frame and downstream of the gantry lever mechanism. The second sensor is connected to the second alarm. When the second sensor detects a stack of film-packaged bags on the conveyor belt, the second alarm sounds an alarm.

[0013] Preferably, the first alarm and the second alarm are alarm lights and / or alarm horns.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, the technical solution provided by this utility model enables the automatic sorting and stacking of film bags during conveyor belt transportation and gantry lever mechanism, thereby reducing the workload of manual sorting and alleviating the manual burden on the production line.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a track conveying device, which includes a frame 100, a conveyor belt 120, and a gantry lever mechanism 200. The frame 100 is provided with a transport channel 110. Specifically, the frame 100 is preferably made of stainless steel, and the frame 100 has legs 101 and a conveying platform 102 disposed on the legs 101. The conveying platform 102 is provided with a first side rod 113 and a second side rod 114, and the extension space between the first side rod 113 and the second side rod 114 forms the transport channel 110.

[0034] A conveyor belt 120 is located in the transport channel 110 to transport the film bag packaging 1 from upstream 111 to downstream 112 along the transport channel 110. The gantry lever mechanism 200 includes a horizontal lever 220 and two vertical support rods 210. The two vertical support rods 210 are mounted on the frame 100 and located on both sides of the transport channel 110. As shown in the figure, the two vertical support rods 210 are respectively located on the first side member 113 and the second side member 114 of the conveyor table 102. The horizontal lever 220 is fixed to the top of the two vertical support rods 210 and spans over the transport channel 110. The distance between the horizontal lever 220 and the conveyor belt 120 is 1.3 to 1.8 times the height of the film bag packaging 1. Preferably, the distance between the horizontal lever 220 and the conveyor belt 120 is 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.8 times the height of the film bag packaging 1. In this embodiment, the distance between the transverse lever 220 and the conveyor belt 120 is 1.5 times the height of the film bag packaging 1.

[0035] The film bag packaging 1 is conveyed from upstream 111 to downstream 112 on conveyor belt 120. When the film bag packaging 1 encounters the gantry lever mechanism 200, the single-layer film bag packaging 1 can smoothly pass under the transverse lever 220 without obstructing the material. Figure 5 and 6As shown, the upper layer of the stacked film bag packaging 1 is blocked by the horizontal lever 220, while the lower layer continues to be conveyed forward. When the lower layer passes the gantry lever mechanism 200, the upper layer falls onto the conveyor belt 120 and continues to be conveyed downstream 112. The automatic sorting of the stacked film bag packaging 1 by the gantry lever mechanism reduces the amount of manual sorting work and alleviates the manual burden on the production line.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the track conveying equipment also includes a first alarm device, which includes a first sensor 310 and a first alarm 320. The first sensor 310 is located upstream of the gantry lever mechanism 200. The first sensor 410 is connected to the first alarm 320. When the first sensor 310 detects that the film bag packaging 1 is blocked at the upstream position of the gantry lever mechanism 200, the first alarm 320 sounds an alarm.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, the upper layer of film bag packaging 1 in the stacked film bag packaging 1 is irregularly stacked. The horizontal lever 220 may not be able to push the upper layer of film bag packaging 1 off. At this time, the film bag packaging 1 is blocked upstream of the gantry lever mechanism 200. A first alarm device is set up. When the first sensor 310 detects that the film bag packaging 1 at the upstream position of the gantry lever mechanism 200 has not passed for more than 20 seconds, it is determined that the item is blocked upstream of the gantry lever mechanism 200, and the first alarm 320 sounds an alarm. When the worker hears the alarm, he comes over to manually clear the blockage. The first sensor 310 is a photoelectric sensor. When the light emitted by the first sensor 310 is blocked by the film bag packaging 1 for no more than 20 seconds, it means that the film bag packaging 1 passes normally; when the light emitted by the first sensor 310 is blocked by the film bag packaging 1 for more than 20 seconds, it means that the film bag packaging 1 has failed to pass normally and is blocked.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the track conveying equipment also includes a second alarm device, which includes a second sensor 410 and a second alarm 420. The second sensor 410 is located on the frame 100 and downstream of the gantry lever mechanism 200. The second sensor 410 is connected to the second alarm 420. When the second sensor 410 detects a stack of film-packed bags on the conveyor belt, the second alarm 420 sounds an alarm.

[0039] like Figure 8As shown, the upper layer of film bag packaging 1 in the stacked film bag packaging 1 has an irregular stacking situation. The horizontal lever 220 may not be able to push the upper layer of film bag packaging 1 off. At this time, the film bag packaging 1 still reaches the downstream through the gantry lever mechanism 200. A second alarm device is set. When the second sensor 410 detects that the film bag packaging 1 downstream of the gantry lever mechanism 200 exceeds one times the height of the film bag packaging 1, it indicates that the gantry lever mechanism 200 has not completed the sorting of the stacked film bag packaging 1. The second alarm 420 sounds an alarm, and the worker hears the alarm and comes to sort it manually. The second sensor 410 is preferably a photoelectric sensor. The height of the light emitted by the second sensor 410 is greater than one times the height of the film bag packaging 1. When the light of the sensor is blocked and no reflected light is received, it indicates that there is stacked film bag packaging 1 downstream of the gantry lever mechanism 200, and manual sorting is required.

[0040] This utility model's track conveying equipment is equipped with a gantry lever mechanism 200 to achieve automatic sorting, reducing manual operation intensity and worker burden. A first alarm device is installed to prevent upstream blockage, and a second alarm device is installed to prevent unsorted, stacked film bags 1 from entering the downstream. During robotic arm gripping, the film bags 1 are not stacked, ensuring correct gripping and preventing bag breakage.

[0041] Preferably, the first alarm 320 and the second alarm 420 are alarm lights and / or alarm horns.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, each vertical support rod 210 includes a lower support rod 211, an upper support rod 212, and a locking assembly 213. The lower support rod 211 is mounted on the frame 100, and the upper support rod 212 is sleeved on the lower support rod 211 and can extend and retract along the axial direction of the lower support rod 211. The transverse lever 220 is connected to the upper support rod 212. The lower support rod 211 is made of a hollow tube, and the upper support rod 212 is sleeved in the lower support rod 211. The lower support rod 211 has a locking hole 2111, and the locking assembly 213 is provided in the locking hole 2111 to fix the upper support rod 212 and the lower support rod 211. Tightening the locking assembly 213 moves the upper support rod 212 and the lower support rod 211 relative to each other, and then locking the locking assembly 213, thereby adjusting the height of the transverse lever 220 to accommodate items of different heights.

[0043] In other embodiments, the upper support rod 212 is made of a hollow tube, the lower support rod is sleeved in the upper support rod, and the locking hole is provided in the upper support rod.

[0044] The conveyor belt 120 is either a tracked belt or a rubberized belt. In the prior art, the conveyor table 102 is also equipped with a conveying drive mechanism for driving the tracked belt or rubberized belt to move. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the conveyor belt 120 is a rubberized cloth belt. The transmission drive mechanism includes a motor 500 and a drive roller 600. The drive roller 500 is installed on the conveyor table 102. The motor 500 is connected to the drive roller 600. The conveyor belt 120 is tensioned on the drive roller 600. The motor 500 drives the drive roller 600 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 120 to move. The film bag is placed on the conveyor belt 120 and moves together with the conveyor belt 120. This will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions, specific embodiments, and experiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
