Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding machine technology, and more particularly to a product feeding mechanism and feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional methods for unloading products typically involve clamping the product directly onto a flat conveyor belt for transport and unloading. However, for products with high aesthetic requirements, directly placing them onto a flat conveyor belt can easily cause damage to the product's appearance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an unloading mechanism that can avoid the product's outer surface and effectively reduce aesthetic damage during unloading. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a product unloading mechanism and unloading machine. Through a customized conveyor belt and inclined frame, it is possible to avoid contact with some of the product's exterior surfaces as much as possible during unloading, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of product damage during unloading.

[0004] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a product feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0006] A transmission support, on which a transmission belt for transporting products is provided;

[0007] A ramp frame is fixed to one end of the transmission support. The top of the ramp frame is set as the product placement end, and a ramp surface is provided on one side facing the transmission support. The bottom end of the ramp surface is close to the transmission belt, so that the product placed on the ramp frame can slide along the ramp surface to the transmission belt.

[0008] The slope surface is provided with at least one hollow groove that is set along the product sliding direction.

[0009] This solution involves setting up a ramp frame at one end of the transmission support, with the top of the ramp frame serving as the product placement end. The ramp frame has a sloping surface, and at least one hollow groove is provided on the sloping surface along the product sliding direction. This allows the product placed on the ramp frame to slide along the sloping surface onto the conveyor belt under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, the contact area between the product and the sloping surface is minimized as much as possible due to the hollow groove, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of appearance damage to the product during unloading.

[0010] In some embodiments, the surface of the conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of rib protrusions along the conveying direction, and the products that slide onto the conveyor belt along the ramp are supported by the rib protrusions and conveyed along the conveyor belt.

[0011] This solution involves setting several rib protrusions along the conveyor belt surface in the conveying direction. When the product slides onto the conveyor belt along the inclined surface, it can fall onto the rib protrusions and be supported and conveyed by the rib protrusions. The setting of the rib protrusions further reduces the contact area between the product and the conveyor belt during conveying, thereby further reducing the possibility of appearance damage to the product during unloading.

[0012] In some embodiments, the rib protrusions are elastic protrusions.

[0013] This solution uses ribs made of elastic material to reduce the possibility of damage to the product's appearance and facilitates the transport of the product by the conveyor belt.

[0014] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt is provided with a mounting platform, and products that slide onto the conveyor belt along the ramp are supported by the mounting platform and conveyed along the conveyor belt.

[0015] This solution involves setting up a mounting platform on the conveyor belt, allowing the product to land on the platform for support and transport as it slides down the ramp onto the conveyor belt. During transport, the product and the mounting platform remain relatively stationary, thereby reducing the possibility of surface damage to the product during transport.

[0016] In some embodiments, baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt, and a limiting space is formed between the two baffles to limit the movement of the conveyed product.

[0017] This solution sets baffles on both sides of the conveyor belt, forming a limiting space between the two baffles to limit the movement of the conveyed products. This prevents the products from shifting during transport on the conveyor belt, especially when the products are mounted on the conveyor belt by rib protrusions, ensuring that the products will not fall off the conveyor belt.

[0018] In some embodiments, the retaining edge is fixed to the transmission support; or,

[0019] The retaining edge is movably connected to the transmission bracket via a movable connector.

[0020] This solution uses a movable connector to connect the guards and the transmission bracket, allowing for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two guards according to the size of the product, thus making it suitable for a wider variety of products.

[0021] In some embodiments, the ramp frame includes two ramp plates, and the hollow groove is formed between the two ramp plates.

[0022] In some embodiments, the ramp plates are fixed to the transmission support by adjustable fixing components.

[0023] By setting up a ramp frame consisting of two ramp plates with a hollow groove between them, and fixing the ramp plates to the transmission support with adjustable fixing components, the distance between the two ramp plates and the size of the hollow groove can be flexibly set according to the size of the product, thus making it suitable for products of different sizes.

[0024] In some embodiments, it further includes a drive motor, the output shaft of which drives the conveyor belt to move via a drive assembly.

[0025] Secondly, this utility model provides a feeding machine, including the product feeding mechanism described in the first aspect.

[0026] The product feeding mechanism and feeding machine provided by this utility model have at least the following technical effects:

[0027] 1) This solution sets up a ramp frame at one end of the transmission support, with the top of the ramp frame being the product placement end. The ramp frame has a ramp surface, and at least one hollow groove is provided on the ramp surface along the product sliding direction. This allows the product placed on the ramp frame to slide along the ramp surface onto the conveyor belt under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, the contact area between the product and the ramp surface is minimized as much as possible due to the hollow groove, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of appearance damage when the product is unloaded.

[0028] 2) This solution sets several rib protrusions on the surface of the conveyor belt along the conveying direction, so that when the product slides onto the conveyor belt along the slope, it can fall onto the rib protrusions and be supported and conveyed by the rib protrusions. The setting of the rib protrusions can further reduce the contact area between the product and the conveyor belt during conveying, thereby further reducing the possibility of appearance damage when the product is unloaded.

[0029] 3) This solution uses ribs made of elastic material to reduce the possibility of damage to the product's appearance and facilitates the transport of the product by the conveyor belt.

[0030] 4) This solution sets baffles on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the two baffles form a limiting space to limit the conveyed products. This can prevent the products from shifting when they are conveyed on the conveyor belt. Especially when the products are mounted on the conveyor belt by the rib protrusions, it can ensure that the products will not fall off the conveyor belt.

[0031] 5) This solution uses a movable connector to connect the guards and the transmission bracket, allowing for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two guards according to the size of the product, thus making it suitable for a wider variety of products. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0037] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to this invention are shown schematically in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0038] Traditional methods for unloading products typically involve directly clamping the product onto a flat conveyor belt for transport and unloading. However, for products with high aesthetic requirements, direct unloading onto a flat conveyor belt can easily lead to damage to the product's appearance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an unloading mechanism that can avoid the product's outer surface and effectively reduce aesthetic damage during unloading. This solution utilizes a customized conveyor belt and a customized inclined frame to minimize the contact area between the product and the inclined surface and conveyor belt during unloading. This allows the unloading process to avoid a portion of the product's outer surface as much as possible, effectively reducing the possibility of aesthetic damage during unloading. The following is a detailed description of this solution with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0039] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2This utility model provides a product unloading mechanism, including a transmission support 10 and an inclined frame 20. The transmission support 10 is a transmission platform, and a transmission belt 11 for transporting products is provided on the transmission support 10. A drive motor 30 is also provided on the product unloading mechanism. The output shaft of the drive motor 30 drives the transmission belt 11 to move through a drive assembly, which can be a belt, gears, etc., and this application is not limited thereto. During unloading, by starting the drive motor 30, the transmission belt 11 can be moved, thereby allowing the product placed on the transmission belt 11 to move with the transmission belt under the action of friction, realizing the transfer of the product.

[0040] The ramp frame 20 is fixed to one end of the conveyor support 10. The top of the ramp frame 20 is designated as the product placement end 21. The placement end 21 can be flat or inclined. Products can be placed on the placement end 21 manually or automatically using mechanical grippers or other automated equipment. A ramp surface 22 is provided on the side of the ramp frame 20 facing the conveyor support 10. The bottom end of the ramp surface 22 is close to the conveyor belt 11, allowing products placed on the ramp frame 20 to slide along the ramp surface 22 onto the conveyor belt 11 under gravity. When the placement end 21 is inclined, the product can slide directly onto the ramp surface 22. When the placement end 21 is flat, to ensure smooth sliding along the ramp surface 22, the product must protrude slightly from the placement end 21 during placement, allowing it to slide down the ramp surface 22 under gravity. Simultaneously, to reduce friction during sliding and prevent damage to the product's surface, both the placement end 21 and the ramp surface 22 are designed to be as smooth as possible. In addition, to facilitate product versatility, the ramp frame 20 can be set as an independent product and can be detachably installed on the transmission bracket 10 by bolts or the like. When using different transmission brackets 10, the ramp frame 20 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0041] The ramp surface 22 is provided with at least one hollow groove 23 arranged along the product sliding direction. By providing hollow grooves 23 on the ramp surface 22, the contact area between the product and the ramp surface 22 is smaller when the product slides along the ramp surface 22, thereby better avoiding damage to the product's appearance. This application does not limit the specific number of hollow grooves 23, which can be adjusted according to the actual parameters of the product. For example, there can be one hollow groove 23, with the ramp surface 22 supporting the bottom two ends of the product for sliding; or there can be multiple hollow grooves 23, and the supporting surface of the ramp surface 22 between adjacent hollow grooves is relatively narrow, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0042] This solution involves setting a ramp frame 20 at one end of the transmission support 10. The top of the ramp frame 20 is the product placement end 21. The ramp frame 20 has a ramp surface 22, and the ramp surface 22 is provided with at least one hollow groove 23 arranged along the product sliding direction. This allows the product placed on the ramp frame 20 to slide along the ramp surface 22 onto the transmission belt 11 under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, the contact area between the product and the ramp surface 22 is minimized as much as possible due to the hollow groove 23, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of appearance damage when the product is unloaded.

[0043] To further reduce the possibility of damage to the product's surface during transport, this solution can include further restrictions on the conveyor belt 11. (See attached instruction manual.) Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 In one specific implementation, the surface of the conveyor belt 11 is provided with a plurality of rib protrusions 12 along the conveying direction. Products that slide onto the conveyor belt 11 along the ramp surface 22 are supported by the rib protrusions 12 and conveyed along the conveyor belt 11. That is, this application provides a customized conveyor belt 11 that can be adapted to existing test brackets 10, unloading machines, etc., and the contact area between the product and the conveyor belt 11 is reduced when the product is conveyed on the conveyor belt 11.

[0044] This solution involves setting several rib protrusions 12 along the conveying direction on the surface of the conveyor belt 11. This allows the product to fall onto the rib protrusions 12 and be supported and conveyed by them when it slides onto the conveyor belt 11 along the inclined surface 22. The setting of the rib protrusions 12 further reduces the contact area between the product and the conveyor belt 11 during conveying, thereby further reducing the possibility of appearance damage during product unloading.

[0045] This application does not limit the specific number of rib protrusions 12, which can be adjusted according to the actual parameters of the product. For example, there can be two rib protrusions 12, which support the bottom ends of the product for sliding. Alternatively, there can be multiple rib protrusions 12, and the width of each rib protrusion 12 can be set to be relatively narrow. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0046] In the preferred embodiment, the rib protrusion 12 is an elastic protrusion. By making the rib protrusion 12 of elastic material, this design can reduce the possibility of damage to the product's appearance and facilitate the transport of the product by the conveyor belt 11.

[0047] In another specific implementation, a mounting platform can also be provided on the conveyor belt 11. Products that slide onto the conveyor belt 11 along the slope 22 are supported by the mounting platform and conveyed along the conveyor belt 11.

[0048] This solution provides a mounting platform on the conveyor belt 11, allowing products to be supported and transported as they slide along the ramp 22 onto the conveyor belt 11. During transport, the product and the mounting platform remain relatively stationary, reducing the possibility of surface damage. The surface of the mounting platform can be made elastic to prevent damage to the product's appearance during unloading. Furthermore, this application does not limit the specific shape and type of the mounting platform. For example, the mounting platform can be fixed to the conveyor belt 11; or it can be placed on the conveyor belt 11 manually or mechanically during unloading; or the surface of the mounting platform can be provided with placement grooves or limiting blocks to prevent the product from moving on the mounting platform.

[0049] In one embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 Both sides of the conveyor belt 11 are provided with baffles 40, forming a limiting space between the two baffles 40 to restrict the movement of the conveyed product. This application does not limit the specific shape or height of the baffles 40, and they can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the baffle 40 can be a rectangular baffle; or it can be composed of multiple evenly arranged guardrails. To prevent the product from touching and being damaged by the baffles 40, the inner surface of the baffles 40 can be set as an elastic surface; at the same time, to ensure the limiting effect of the baffles 40 without affecting the conveying of the product, the width of the limiting space can be set to be slightly larger than the width of the product.

[0050] This solution provides baffles 40 on both sides of the conveyor belt 11, forming a limiting space between the two baffles 40 to limit the movement of the conveyed product. This prevents the product from shifting when it is being conveyed on the conveyor belt 11. In particular, when the product is mounted on the conveyor belt 11 by the rib protrusions 12, it ensures that the product will not fall off the conveyor belt 11.

[0051] This application does not limit the specific configuration of the guard 40. For example, the guard 40 can be fixed on the transmission bracket 10; or the guard 40 can be configured to be movably connected to the transmission bracket 10 via a movable connector.

[0052] This solution uses a movable connector to connect the retaining edge 40 to the transmission bracket 10, allowing for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two retaining edges 40 according to the product size, thus making it suitable for a wider variety of products. The specific form of the movable connector is not limited. For example, in one implementation, the movable connector includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the retaining edge 40 and a movable plate movably connected to the transmission bracket 10. The fixed plate and the movable plate are fixedly connected, and the movable plate can be fixed to the transmission bracket 10 using bolts, inserts, etc., and the position of the movable plate fixed to the transmission bracket 10 is adjustable. Before unloading, the user can adjust the retaining edges 40 according to the product size, ensuring that the width of the limiting space between the two retaining edges 40 is slightly larger than the width of the product.

[0053] In one embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The ramp frame 20 may include two ramp plates, and a hollow groove 23 is formed between the two ramp plates. The ramp plates are all fixed to the transmission support 10 by adjustable fixing components.

[0054] By setting up ramps, 20 is composed of two ramp plates, forming a hollow groove 23 between the two ramp plates. Both ramp plates are fixed to the transmission bracket 10 by adjustable fixing components, allowing the distance between the two ramp plates and the size of the hollow groove 23 to be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the product, thus enabling the application of products of different sizes. This application does not limit the specific form of the adjustable fixing components; for example, the adjustable fixing components can be bolt assemblies.

[0055] In one embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments, the present invention provides a feeding machine, including the product feeding mechanism of the foregoing embodiments.

[0056] The product feeding mechanism and feeding machine provided by this utility model have at least the following technical effects:

[0057] 1) This solution sets up a ramp frame at one end of the transmission support, with the top of the ramp frame being the product placement end. The ramp frame has a ramp surface, and at least one hollow groove is provided on the ramp surface along the product sliding direction. This allows the product placed on the ramp frame to slide along the ramp surface onto the conveyor belt under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, the contact area between the product and the ramp surface is minimized as much as possible due to the hollow groove, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of appearance damage when the product is unloaded.

[0058] 2) This solution sets several rib protrusions on the surface of the conveyor belt along the conveying direction, so that when the product slides onto the conveyor belt along the slope, it can fall onto the rib protrusions and be supported and conveyed by the rib protrusions. The setting of the rib protrusions can further reduce the contact area between the product and the conveyor belt during conveying, thereby further reducing the possibility of appearance damage when the product is unloaded.

[0059] 3) This solution uses ribs made of elastic material to reduce the possibility of damage to the product's appearance and facilitates the transport of the product by the conveyor belt.

[0060] 4) This solution sets baffles on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the two baffles form a limiting space to limit the conveyed products. This can prevent the products from shifting when they are conveyed on the conveyor belt. Especially when the products are mounted on the conveyor belt by the rib protrusions, it can ensure that the products will not fall off the conveyor belt.

[0061] 5) This solution uses a movable connector to connect the guards and the transmission bracket, allowing for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two guards according to the size of the product, thus making it suitable for a wider variety of products.

[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
