Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery technology, specifically to a product packaging system, and more particularly to a box-packing and finishing system for carbide ball tooth packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, drill bits are widely used in various industries such as geological exploration, mining, construction, oil and gas drilling, and trenchless engineering. With the development needs and the continuous expansion of the drill bit industry, the demand for high-quality, high-requirement carbide drill bit ball teeth products is also increasing.

[0003] Currently, the packaging of cemented carbide products, such as ball teeth, mostly relies on labor-intensive methods, primarily manual labor. This method's efficiency is insufficient to meet market demands. While there are existing automated ball tooth packaging machines that can pack ball teeth into boxes, they still suffer from problems such as secondary damage to the product during handling, poor accuracy and smoothness of automatic boxing, significant product shaking after packing, irregular packaging bag placement, and a high risk of product damage during transportation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a product boxing and sorting system that can automatically package products, pack them smoothly and efficiently, and has a good sorting effect.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A product boxing and sorting system includes a product conveying mechanism. The output end of the product conveying mechanism is provided with a gripping mechanism for gripping bagged products on the product conveying mechanism and placing the bagged products into a packaging box. The product boxing and sorting system also includes a box-entry sorting mechanism and a transfer mechanism for transferring the packaging box to the box-entry sorting mechanism. The transfer mechanism is located between the gripping mechanism and the box-entry sorting mechanism. The box-entry sorting mechanism includes a flexible buffer plate that can compress the bagged products in the packaging box. The flexible buffer plate is connected to a compaction drive member for driving the flexible buffer plate to move up and down. This product boxing and sorting system can box and sort bulk, quantitatively weighed and packaged bagged products in mesh bags. The bagged products are sent to the output end by the product conveying mechanism, and then the gripping mechanism picks up the bagged products and puts them into the packaging box. The transfer mechanism transfers the packaging box containing the bagged products to the boxing and sorting mechanism. The boxing and sorting mechanism uses a flexible buffer plate to effectively compress the bagged products without causing secondary damage to the bagged products inside the box, ensuring a safe and stable sorting process, improving the quality and aesthetics of boxing and packaging, and achieving good packaging results.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-described product boxing and sorting system, the boxing and sorting mechanism further includes a cutting plate that can be inserted into the gap between the bagged product and the side wall of the packaging box. The cutting plate is connected to a cutting drive component for driving the cutting plate to move up and down. The cutting drive component can drive the cutting plate to be inserted into the packaging box along the edge of the packaging box, and perform cutting-in sorting of the bagged product through the cutting action, cutting and sorting the corners of the product packaging bag into the packaging box, preventing the corners of the packaging bag from curling up, and filling the gap after cutting in the corners of the packaging bag also helps to reduce shaking inside the packaging box.

[0008] Preferably, in the above-mentioned product boxing and sorting system, the boxing and sorting mechanism further includes a moving drive component for driving the boxing and sorting mechanism to move horizontally. The moving drive component can drive the entire boxing and sorting mechanism to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the flexible buffer plate and the cutting plate. This is applicable to the compaction and cutting actions of packaging boxes of different sizes, and can also achieve cutting on multiple sides, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0009] Preferably, in the above-mentioned product boxing and sorting system, the boxing and sorting mechanism further includes a moving guide rail for constraining the horizontal movement direction of the boxing and sorting mechanism. The moving guide rail is perpendicular to the movement direction of the transfer mechanism. Under the action of the moving drive component, the boxing and sorting mechanism moves along the moving guide rail. The perpendicular arrangement allows the cutting plate on the boxing and sorting mechanism to accurately move to both sides of the packaging box and cut into the packaging bag, effectively cutting all four corners of the packaging bag into the packaging box.

[0010] Preferably, in the above-described product boxing and sorting system, a packaging box positioning block for positioning the packaging boxes is provided below the boxing and sorting mechanism. The packaging box positioning block is located below the boxing and sorting mechanism and at the end of the transfer mechanism, so that the packaging boxes transferred by the transfer mechanism can be accurately positioned to a preset position, improving the positioning accuracy of the packaging boxes and thus improving the consistency of each box sorting process.

[0011] Preferably, in the above-described product boxing and sorting system, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer guide assembly and a transfer drive for moving the packaging box along the transfer guide assembly. The transfer guide assembly includes a fixed guide plate and an adjusting guide plate for adjusting the distance between the fixed guide plate and the adjusting guide plate. The fixed guide plate and the adjusting guide plate are spaced apart from each other, and a transfer channel for the packaging box to pass through is provided between the fixed guide plate and the adjusting guide plate. The width of the packaging box is the same as the width of the transfer channel. The packaging box is located in the transfer channel and is conveyed along the transfer channel by the transfer drive to the bottom of the boxing and sorting mechanism. When packaging boxes of different widths are required, the width of the transfer channel can be changed by adjusting the distance between the fixed guide plate and the adjusting guide plate, thereby accommodating packaging boxes of different widths and improving the applicability of this product boxing and sorting system.

[0012] Preferably, in the aforementioned product boxing and sorting system, one side of the transfer channel is equipped with a height positioning component for limiting the passage height of the packaging boxes. When sorting products of the same specification, the height positioning component can be used to set a height limit to prevent the gripping mechanism from failing to properly place the bagged product into the packaging box, thus preventing subsequent proper box sorting. If the height limit is exceeded, the packaging box will not be able to pass and an alarm will be triggered. Simultaneously, considering the need to avoid affecting the passage of the box lid, the length of the height positioning component should not be too long; it should at least ensure that a standing soft box lid can pass through with only slight deformation without damaging it. To improve applicability and adapt to different models and specifications of packaging boxes, the height limit of the height positioning component is set to be adjustable.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-described product packaging and sorting system, the gripping mechanism includes a gripper portion, which comprises an arc-shaped gripper and a gripper actuation assembly for driving the arc-shaped gripper to open or close. The arc-shaped gripper is connected to the gripper actuation assembly. The arc-shaped gripper includes a pair of clamping members, which are convex arc-shaped. The pair of clamping members are arranged opposite each other with a space between them for gripping the bagged product. The pair of arc-shaped clamping members can conform well to the shape of the product, and can fit tightly to the product when gripping the bagged product, providing good wrapping and protection for the product, such as spherical teeth. During movement after gripping, there will be no relative sliding or collision, avoiding secondary damage to the product.

[0014] Preferably, in the above-described product packaging and sorting system, the gripping mechanism further includes a vertical moving component for driving the gripper portion to move vertically upward or downward. The vertical moving component is connected to the gripper portion. The gripping mechanism also includes a horizontal moving component for driving the gripper portion to move between the product conveying mechanism and the transfer mechanism. The horizontal moving component is connected to the vertical moving component. The vertical moving component can drive the gripper portion to move vertically up and down to grip or place the bagged product, while the horizontal moving component can drive the gripper portion to move between the product conveying mechanism and the transfer mechanism. With the cooperation of both, the bagged product is gripped and placed into the packaging box.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-described product packaging and sorting system, the product conveying mechanism includes a product conveyor belt and a guide plate for laying the bagged products down, the guide plate being positioned across the top of the product conveyor belt. The guide plate lays the bagged products down so that they can be grasped by the gripping mechanism in a suitable posture. Typically, the guide plate is height-adjustable to accommodate different sizes and specifications of bagged products, enabling rapid adjustment and switching.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-described product packaging and sorting system, the bagged product is a bagged product containing a plurality of spherical teeth inside a mesh bag, wherein one end of each spherical tooth is a ball-shaped head, and the other end is a cylindrical connecting part. This product packaging and sorting system is particularly suitable for packaging and sorting products with carbide spherical teeth.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model's product boxing and sorting system can box and sort bulk, quantitatively weighed, and mesh-bag-packaged products (such as those with a ball joint). The bagged products are boxed and sorted via a product conveying mechanism, a gripping mechanism, a transfer mechanism, and a boxing and sorting mechanism. This effectively improves the smoothness and accuracy of boxing, reducing the need for excessive manual operation, lowering worker workload, and increasing packaging efficiency. The product boxing and sorting system has a compact structure, is cost-effective, and has low limitations and requirements regarding the operating environment. By incorporating flexible buffer plates, the bagged products can be compacted after boxing, improving the quality and aesthetics of the boxed packaging. The resulting neat and uniform packaging enhances the product's image and has significant practical application value. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the following description will be provided in more comprehensive and detailed manner with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0024] The product boxing and sorting system of this embodiment is applicable to the boxing and sorting of cemented carbide spherical teeth. One end of the spherical tooth is a hemispherical or near-spherical head, and the other end, below the head, is a cylindrical connecting part. Such products typically require boxing and packaging. Before boxing and sorting the spherical teeth, the required bulk spherical tooth products are weighed using a quantitative weighing mechanism found in existing technology, and then placed into packaging mesh bags via a bagging machine or manually to obtain bagged spherical tooth products. The product boxing and sorting system of this invention can box and sort these bagged spherical tooth products.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the product boxing and sorting system of this embodiment includes a product conveying mechanism 3. The output end of the product conveying mechanism 3 is equipped with a gripping mechanism 1 for gripping bagged products on the product conveying mechanism 3 and placing the bagged products into a packaging box 4. The product boxing and sorting system also includes an in-box sorting mechanism 2 and a transfer mechanism 5 for transferring the packaging box 4 to the in-box sorting mechanism 2. The transfer mechanism 5 is located between the gripping mechanism 1 and the in-box sorting mechanism 2. The in-box sorting mechanism 2 includes a flexible buffer plate 29 that can compress the bagged products inside the packaging box 4. The flexible buffer plate 29 is connected to a compaction drive member 23 for driving the flexible buffer plate 29 up and down. Specifically, the bagged products are placed at the input end of the product conveying mechanism 3. The gripping mechanism 1 can move between the output end of the product conveying mechanism 3 and the input end of the transfer mechanism 5. The transfer mechanism 5 can move between the output end of the gripping mechanism 1 and the in-box sorting mechanism 2. The compaction drive component 23 is specifically a compaction cylinder, and the flexible buffer plate 29 is installed at the bottom of the compaction cylinder. The flexible buffer plate 29 can be made of soft materials such as sponge.

[0026] In this embodiment, the box-packing mechanism 2 further includes a cutting plate 25 that can be inserted into the gap between the bagged product and the side wall of the packaging box 4. The cutting plate 25 is connected to a cutting drive member 24 for driving the cutting plate 25 to move up and down. Specifically, the cutting drive member 24 is a cutting cylinder, and the cutting plate 25 is connected to the cutting cylinder.

[0027] In this embodiment, the box-in sorting mechanism 2 further includes a moving drive component 22 for driving the box-in sorting mechanism 2 to move horizontally. The box-in sorting mechanism 2 also includes a moving guide rail 28 for constraining the horizontal movement direction of the box-in sorting mechanism 2, and the setting direction of the moving guide rail 28 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the transfer mechanism 5. Specifically, the moving drive component 22 is an inching cylinder, which can drive the entire box-in sorting mechanism to move. The packaging box 4 is placed horizontally in the transfer channel of the transfer mechanism, and the perpendicular arrangement allows the box-in sorting mechanism to drive the cutting plate 25 to move along the length direction of the packaging box 4 when it moves along the moving guide rail, so that one cutting plate 25 can complete the cutting of multiple sides. The box-in sorting mechanism 2 is mounted on the box-in sorting bracket 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, a packaging box positioning block 26 for positioning the packaging box 4 is provided below the box-in sorting mechanism 2. Specifically, the packaging box positioning block 26 is a set of L-shaped blocks mounted on a bracket, which achieves positioning of the packaging box 4 through limiting action.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 5 includes a transfer guide assembly and a transfer drive 51 for moving the packaging box 4 along the transfer guide assembly. The transfer guide assembly includes a fixed guide plate 52 and an adjusting guide plate 53 for adjusting the distance between the fixed guide plate 52 and the adjusting guide plate 53. The fixed guide plate 52 and the adjusting guide plate 53 are arranged at intervals relative to each other, and a transfer channel for the packaging box 4 to pass through is provided between the fixed guide plate 52 and the adjusting guide plate 53. Specifically, the transfer drive 51 is a packaging box pushing cylinder, which can push the packaging box 4 to below the box sorting mechanism 2. The fixed guide plate 52 is fixedly set, and the adjusting guide plate 53 is movable. By adjusting its position, the width of the transfer channel can be changed to accommodate packaging boxes of different sizes. The width of the transfer channel matches the length of the packaging box 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, a height positioning component is provided on one side of the transfer channel to limit the passage height of the packaging box 4. Specifically, the height positioning component includes a height positioning block 54 and a height positioning support 55. The height positioning block 54 is movably and adjustablely mounted on the height positioning support 55 to adjust the height limit and facilitate the switching of packaging boxes 4 of different heights.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gripping mechanism 1 includes a gripper portion, which includes an arc-shaped gripper 14 and a gripper actuation assembly for driving the arc-shaped gripper 14 to open or close. The arc-shaped gripper 14 is connected to the gripper actuation assembly. The arc-shaped gripper 14 includes a pair of clamping members, which are arc-shaped and protrude outwards. The pair of clamping members are arranged opposite to each other and a space for gripping bagged products is provided between them. Specifically, the gripper actuation assembly includes a gripper cylinder 12 for opening the arc-shaped gripper 14 and a closing assist cylinder 13 for closing the arc-shaped gripper 14 after gripping the bagged product. In addition, the clamping members of the arc-shaped gripper 14 are connected by a movable joint 17, which makes the opening and closing of the arc-shaped gripper 14 smoother.

[0032] In this embodiment, the gripping mechanism 1 further includes a vertical moving component 11 for driving the gripper portion to move vertically upward or downward. The vertical moving component 11 is connected to the gripper portion. The gripping mechanism 1 also includes a horizontal moving component 16 for driving the gripper portion to move between the product conveying mechanism 3 and the transfer mechanism 5. The horizontal moving component 16 is connected to the vertical moving component 11. Specifically, the vertical moving component 11 is a vertical guide rail cylinder, and the horizontal moving component is a horizontal guide rail cylinder. The entire gripping mechanism 1 is mounted on the left column 15 and the right column 18, and is arranged across the product conveyor belt 32.

[0033] In this embodiment, the product conveying mechanism 3 includes a product conveyor belt 32 and a guide plate 31 for laying down bagged products. The guide plate 31 is horizontally disposed above the product conveyor belt 32. Specifically, there is a certain distance between the guide plate 31 and the product conveyor belt 32, and this distance is adjustable.

[0034] The product packaging and sorting system of this embodiment is particularly suitable for packaging and sorting cemented carbide spherical tooth products. Its working process is as follows: A quantitatively weighed and bagged cemented carbide spherical tooth product is placed on the product conveyor belt 32 and transported to the area below the gripping mechanism 1. The bagged product is laid down as it passes the guide plate 31 for easy gripping. After the bagged product reaches the area below the gripping mechanism 1, the vertical moving component 11 moves vertically downwards, the gripper cylinder 12 opens the arc-shaped gripper 14, and after gripping the bagged product, the closing assist cylinder 13 moves to close the arc-shaped gripper 14. At this time, the arc-shaped design of the gripper 14 perfectly fits the arc surface of the spherical tooth product, preventing secondary damage to the product. Then, the vertical moving component 11 begins to move vertically upwards. After reaching the top, the horizontal moving component 16 begins to move horizontally, moving the bagged product above the packaging box 4. The vertical moving component 11 then moves downwards. After the curved gripper 14 enters the packaging box 4, it opens, and the bagged product falls into the packaging box 4. After the product enters the box, the transfer drive 51 begins to push the packaging box 4 under the boxing and sorting mechanism 2. During the pushing process, the fixed guide plate 52 and the adjusting guide plate 53 guide it. The packaging box positioning block 26 positions the target position of the packaging box 4. After reaching the preset position, the compaction drive 23 begins to move vertically downward, and the flexible buffer plate 29 descends to compact the bagged product. After the compaction action is completed, the cutting drive 24 drives the cutting plate 25 to cut into the packaging box 4 along the edge of the packaging box 4. The moving drive 22 cuts all four corners of the packaging bag into the box. Through the reciprocating motion of the flexible buffer plate 29 and the cutting plate 25 and the compaction cutting, the bagged product in the packaging box 4 is compacted and sorted, and then a new round of boxing and sorting begins.

[0035] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the content of the present invention, should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
