Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of conveying device technology, and specifically refers to a grid translation conveyor. Background technology:

[0002] Spout pouches, also known as squeezable pouches, are a new type of packaging bag for beverages and jellies developed from stand-up pouches. The structure of a spout pouch mainly consists of three parts: the bag body, the spout, and the cap.

[0003] The manufacturing process of spout pouch caps: They are injection molded, then picked up by a robotic arm and placed into a box. The entire box of caps is then poured into a vibratory feeder, which transports each cap individually to the next inspection station for quality control. Because the caps are small, the injection mold typically has 32 cavities per mold, meaning 32 caps are produced in one injection molding cycle. The robotic arm then removes all 32 caps at once.

[0004] The shortcomings of the above-mentioned lid processing technology are: the lids are transported one by one to the next inspection station by a vibratory plate, which is noisy and requires manual pouring of the lids into the vibratory plate. Utility Model Content:

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grid translation conveyor that is low in noise and requires no manual operation, thus effectively saving labor costs.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 :

[0024] A grid translational conveyor includes a mounting frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 arranged longitudinally along its length. The front end of the conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the rear end leads to the next process. The mounting frame 1 is provided with push rods 3 that are driven to move laterally by a power device. The push rods 3 are arranged parallel to the conveyor belt 2, and multiple push rods 3 are spaced apart laterally. When a robot places an array of workpieces on the mounting frame 1, a row of workpieces is placed on the side of each push rod 3 closest to the conveyor belt 2.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the robotic arm removes the workpiece from the injection mold. Then, the robotic arm places the arrayed workpieces onto the mounting frame. Each push rod 3 has a row of workpieces placed on the side closest to the conveyor belt 2. After the robotic arm moves upward, the push rods 3 are driven by the power unit to move towards the conveyor belt 2. The push rod 3 closest to the conveyor belt 2 pushes its workpieces to the conveyor belt 2. The power unit then stops for a period of time. After the conveyor belt 2 transports the workpieces to the rear end, the power unit restarts and continues to move the push rods 3 towards the conveyor belt 2, so that the second push rod 3 pushes its workpieces to the conveyor belt 2. The power unit stops for a period of time. After the conveyor belt 2 transports the workpieces to the rear end, the power unit restarts and continues to move the push rods 3 towards the conveyor belt 2. This process continues until all workpieces have been pushed onto the conveyor belt 2, at which point the power unit drives the push rods 3 to reset.

[0026] This utility model sets a conveyor belt 2 and a push rod 3 on the mounting frame 1, and pushes the workpiece to the conveyor belt 2 by the push rod 3. Then the conveyor belt 2 transports the workpiece to the next process. It does not require a vibratory plate, has low noise, and does not require manual operation, effectively saving labor costs.

[0027] In this embodiment, four push rods 3 are arranged at horizontal intervals, with eight caps in each row, for a total of thirty-two caps.

[0028] To guide the lateral movement of the push rod 3, the rear end of the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a guide rod 4 arranged laterally along its length. The front end of the push rod 3 is connected to the power device, and the rear end is provided with a sliding block 5 that is slidably fitted onto the guide rod 4. This invention places the power device on the front side of the push rod 3, ensuring that the power device does not affect the longitudinal movement of the workpiece.

[0029] To ensure that the rear ends of each push rod 3 can move synchronously, each sliding block 5 is connected by a connecting strip 6.

[0030] In order for the front ends of each push rod 3 to move synchronously, a single power device is used to drive them. The power device consists of a motor 7 and a ball screw mechanism 8. The slider of the ball screw mechanism 8 is provided with a connecting plate 9, and the front ends of each push rod 3 are connected to the connecting plate 9.

[0031] To reduce assembly steps and ensure a secure and reliable connection, the connecting plate 9 and the push rod 3 are integrated into one piece.

[0032] To ensure that the push rod 3 can smoothly push the workpiece toward the conveyor belt 2, the mounting frame 1 is provided with a mounting block 10 located on the side of the conveyor belt 2. The push rod 3 moves on the mounting block 10, and the upper surface of the mounting block 10 is not lower than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the mounting block 10 is flush with the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0033] To facilitate control of the push rod 3's movement, the mounting bracket 1 is equipped with a sensor 11 for sensing the robotic arm. When the sensor 11 detects the robotic arm and the robotic arm moves away, the power unit drives the push rod 3 to move.

[0034] Furthermore, the power unit is located at the front of the mounting block 10, and the mounting block 10 has a mounting plate 13 at its rear end. The guide rod 4 and the sensor 11 are mounted on the mounting plate 13.

[0035] Installation structure of conveyor belt 2: The front end of the conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 1 through the L-shaped connector 12. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0036] The mounting structure of mounting bracket 1: The front bottom of the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a fixed foot cup 14, and the rear end is connected to the frame of the next process.

[0037] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
