Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of product packaging, and in particular relates to a square barrel packaging conveying and boxing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of selling yogurt packaging, some products are packaged in large containers, such as so-called family packs. For the production line of this type of packaging and transportation, since each container occupies a large area and the number of containers stored in a single box is small, it is necessary to reduce the distance between the containers in order to improve the conveying efficiency. At the same time, it is also necessary to quickly complete the external support action of the top cover of the box during the packing process. In the existing technology, in order to facilitate the matrix arrangement of the containers on the conveyor belt for uniform packing, there will inevitably be gaps between the containers side by side during the conveying process. After packing, the containers are prone to being relatively loose and shaking during transportation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a conveying and packing mechanism for square barrel packaging to eliminate gaps between square barrel packages.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A square barrel packaging conveying and boxing mechanism, including

[0006] The conveyor belt has a channeling area and a closing area arranged sequentially above it along the material movement direction. The channeling area includes multiple material channels arranged along the width of the conveyor belt. The closing area has clamping rods on both sides, and the two clamping rods can move closer or further away from each other. When the clamping rods move away to their limit positions, the material channels can be opposite to the space between the two clamping rods.

[0007] The conveyor roller has a support box mechanism above it. The support box mechanism includes multiple opposing dialing pieces. Each dialing piece can rotate about one end of itself as a pivot. When the dialing piece rotates to its limit position, it can rotate to the side of the pivot away from the opposing dialing piece.

[0008] The gripping unit can move between the seam closing area and the support box mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the seam closing area also includes a pressure plate corresponding to the material channel, and the pressure plate can move out of the projection range of the square barrel location.

[0010] Furthermore, the seam closing area also includes two pressure plates, which are located at the outermost edge of the material channel. The two pressure plates can move closer to or further away from each other, and the gripping unit can pass through the space between the two pressure plates to grip the bucket.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned material channels is provided with a pressure bar above it.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide strip is provided between each pair of adjacent material channels, and the guide strip has guide surfaces on both sides at the end away from the seam closing area.

[0013] Furthermore, the material distribution area also includes a pusher cylinder placed on one side of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Furthermore, a blocking unit is provided between the dividing area and the closing area, and the blocking unit can extend into the material channel and block the material channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the support mechanism also includes two rotating shafts, with the opposing dialing plates fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts respectively.

[0016] Furthermore, each dial pad includes a dialing surface and a guide surface, wherein the guide surface is formed by bending outward at an angle on the outer side of the dialing surface away from the pivot.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the square barrel packaging conveying and boxing mechanism of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] This utility model uses a conveyor belt to transport materials between clamping rods. The friction of the conveyor belt eliminates the gap between the square barrels in the direction of movement, and the two clamping rods eliminate the gap in the width direction of the conveyor belt, making the square barrels more compact when packed.

[0019] The lid of the packaging box is opened outward by using a lever that is set opposite to each other and rotates around its own end, so as to quickly support the lid of the box and make it easy to put the square bucket into the packaging box.

[0020] Pressure strips and pressure plates are used to prevent the square bucket from warping upwards after being squeezed. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] The square barrel packaging conveying and boxing mechanism of this utility model includes a conveyor belt for conveying square barrels and a conveyor roller for conveying packaging boxes. Above both, a gripping unit is provided for gripping the square barrels and controlling the boxing process.

[0032] Specifically, the conveyor belt has a channeling area and a closing area sequentially along the material movement direction. The channeling area includes multiple material channels arranged along the width of the conveyor belt and a pusher plate that moves in the width direction of the conveyor belt. The pusher plate is fixed to the piston rod of a channeling cylinder. In this embodiment, there are two material channels, and each material channel is provided with a pressing strip above it to prevent the square bucket from being squeezed and tilting upwards during the conveying process. The piston rod of the channeling cylinder can be controlled by timing or sensors. During operation, the square bucket is placed on the side closer to the channeling cylinder. The channeling cylinder, through the control system, pushes the square buckets on the conveyor belt at intervals to the side away from the material cylinder, so that square buckets enter the two material channels respectively. A guide bar is provided between each pair of adjacent material channels. Guide surfaces are provided on both sides of the guide bar at the end furthest from the sealing area, allowing the square bucket to be guided more accurately into the material channel. The width of the material channel is greater than the width of the square bucket but less than the diagonal length of the square bucket. Clamping rods are provided on both sides of the sealing area, and the two clamping rods can move closer or further apart. When the clamping rods are moved to their extreme positions, the material channel is aligned with the space between the two clamping rods. Specifically, a platform is fixed above the sealing area, and a lead screw is rotatably connected to the step, with the threads at both ends of the lead screw having opposite directions. A slide rail is fixed on the platform, and the ends of the clamping rods are slidably connected to the slide rail via sliders, with two sliders screwed to the ends of the lead screw. The lead screw is rotated by a motor, causing the two clamping rods to move closer or further apart. A bidirectional synchronous cylinder is also fixed on the platform, with a pressure plate fixed to each of its two piston rods, allowing the bidirectional synchronous cylinder to control the two pressure plates to move closer or further apart. In this embodiment, when the two pressure plates move to their closest possible positions, each pressure plate corresponds to a material channel, causing the square buckets moving out of the material channels to move below the pressure plates, thus preventing the buckets from squeezing each other and tilting upwards. When the two pressure plates move to their furthest possible positions, the pressure plates can move out of the spatial projection range between the two clamping bars. When there are multiple material channels, the pressure plates can be fixed by a hanger and moved out of the space between the two clamping bars along the conveyor belt's direction of movement. A blocking unit is also provided between the dividing area and the closing area, and the blocking unit can extend into the material channel and block the material channel. This prevents the square buckets being conveyed behind from being affected when gripping them. In this embodiment, the blocking unit is a cylinder-controlled baffle, and the cylinder can be controlled by a timing unit or a sensor.

[0033] A conveyor roller has a box-supporting mechanism above it. This mechanism includes two rotating shafts, each with at least two levers fixedly mounted. Multiple levers can be used as needed, with the levers on the two shafts facing each other. Each lever can rotate about one end of itself. More specifically, the rotating shaft is fixed to one end of the lever, driving the lever to rotate. When the lever rotates to its limit position, it can rotate to the side of the rotating shaft away from the opposite lever. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are four levers. Each lever includes a lever surface and a guide surface. The guide surface is formed by bending outwards at an angle from the outer side of the lever surface away from the rotating shaft. The levers are positioned above the four corners of the packaging box. When the levers rotate, the lever surface pushes the folded flaps at opposite ends of the packaging box outwards. Simultaneously, the folded flaps on both sides of the packaging box are squeezed outwards by the guide surface, widening the opening of the packaging box to facilitate packing. After packing is complete, the rotating shaft rotates in the opposite direction, causing the levers to flip upwards, thus facilitating the backward movement of the packaging box. A blocking unit is provided below the conveyor rollers. This unit, controlled by a pneumatic or electric cylinder, passes through the gap between the rollers to block the movement of the packaging boxes behind them, thus facilitating the operation of the box-supporting mechanism. The packaging boxes are spaced apart to prevent interference between the blocking unit and the box body.

[0034] The gripping unit can move between the seam closing area and the support box mechanism. In this embodiment, the gripping unit consists of multiple negative pressure suction cups, which are controlled by trusses, robotic arms, etc., to complete the gripping and container transfer work.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
