Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bag conveying equipment, and specifically relates to a bag directional conveying system. Background Technology
[0002] Before transporting sealed and labeled bags to storage areas, in some cases, the sealing and labeling on the conveyor belt are required to have a fixed orientation, i.e., the sealing faces the front of the conveyor belt and the label faces upwards, to facilitate subsequent processing.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as the device disclosed in Chinese patent CN221115812U, can only flip the bag in the width direction. Existing technologies, such as the device disclosed in Chinese patent CN221115823U, can only flip the bag in the length direction. This results in the need for more equipment in the flipping process, leading to high costs, long time, and low efficiency.
[0004] On packaging production lines, bags that have completed sealing and labeling processes typically need to be arranged in a specific orientation before being conveyed to the storage area or the next process: the sealed side must face the direction of the conveyor belt's movement, and the label side must remain upwards. This standardized arrangement is crucial for subsequent automated processing steps, significantly improving production efficiency and operational accuracy.
[0005] Currently, some packaging bag orientation devices on the market have shortcomings. For example, the technical solution disclosed in Chinese patent CN221115812U can only achieve flipping in the width direction of the bag. Another patent, CN221115823U, can only achieve flipping in the length direction of the bag. This single-dimensional adjustment capability means that in actual production, to achieve horizontal rotation and vertical flipping of the bag, multiple machines are often needed to complete the full orientation of the packaging bag. This not only increases equipment investment costs and extends the production cycle but also reduces overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bag-oriented conveying system to solve the problems of high cost and low efficiency caused by the single function of current bag-oriented conveying devices.
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bag orientation conveying system, including a control component and a conveyor belt assembly. The control component is electrically connected to a direction detection component. The conveyor belt assembly is used to transport bags, and the direction detection component is used to detect the placement state of the bags. The conveyor belt assembly includes a first transmission section and a second transmission section. A first steering component is disposed between the first transmission section and the second transmission section. The first steering component is also connected to a direction adjustment component. The direction detection component is disposed directly above the first transmission section. The first steering component is used to transport bags that do not meet the requirements as detected by the direction detection component to the direction adjustment component. The direction adjustment component is used to adjust the direction of the bags in the horizontal and / or vertical directions. The bag includes a bag head, a bag tail, a first bag face, and a second bag face.
[0008] Furthermore, the direction adjustment assembly includes a second steering assembly, and the first steering assembly includes a lifting steering assembly for lifting the bag and rotating it in the horizontal direction; the lifting steering assembly includes a lifting disc and a lifting rod, one side of the lifting disc is fixedly connected to the lifting rod, and the other side of the lifting disc is used to lift the bag; the first steering assembly includes a first lifting part through groove for the lifting rod to pass through to the second steering assembly, and the second steering assembly includes a second lifting part through groove for the lifting steering assembly to pass through; the width of the first lifting part through groove and the second lifting part through groove are greater than the outer diameter of the lifting disc; the first steering assembly includes a plurality of first transmission wheels for transmitting the bag from the first transmission part to the second transmission part.
[0009] Furthermore, the second steering assembly includes several vertical drive wheels and several horizontal drive wheels, which are electrically connected to the control assembly. The horizontal drive wheels are used to transport bags that do not need to be flipped to the reversing conveyor assembly; the vertical drive wheels are used to transport bags that need to be flipped to the flipping conveyor assembly.
[0010] Furthermore, the flip conveyor assembly has a curved design; the flip conveyor assembly includes a flip section, which has a C-shaped structure. The flip section is used to ensure that the second bag surface adheres to the reversing conveyor assembly when the bag is transported to the reversing conveyor assembly. The lowest point of the flip section is located directly above the reversing conveyor assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the flipping section is also connected to a flipping cover, and the bag moves between the flipping section and the flipping cover.
[0012] Furthermore, a third steering component is provided at the end of the reversing conveyor component away from the second steering component. The third steering component is provided with several third steering wheels. The third steering wheels are used to transport the bag on the reversing conveyor component to the second conveyor section. The third steering wheels are electrically connected to the control component.
[0013] Furthermore, the first steering assembly is provided with a plurality of first transmission wheels, which are used to transport bags that do not require steering on the first transmission unit to the second transmission unit.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the bag orientation conveying system provided by this utility model are as follows: Due to the inclusion of a control component and a conveyor belt component, the conveyor belt component transports the bags, which include a bag head, a bag tail, a first bag face, and a second bag face. A direction detection component detects the placement of the bags. A first steering component is also connected to a direction adjustment component, and the direction detection component is positioned directly above the first transmission unit. The first steering component transports bags that do not meet the requirements detected by the direction detection component to the direction adjustment component. The direction adjustment component adjusts the orientation of the bags, ensuring that bags with the correct orientation can continue to be conveyed. Bags with incorrect orientation are adjusted horizontally and / or vertically by the direction adjustment component, resulting in bags with the correct orientation at the output. This allows the orientation conveying of bags to be completed in a single device, avoiding the involvement of multiple devices, reducing costs, and improving efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description is in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a more detailed description of a bag-oriented conveying system.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bag orientation conveying system, including a control component and a conveyor belt assembly. The control component is electrically connected to a direction detection component 200. The conveyor belt assembly is used to transport bags 500, and the direction detection component 200 is used to detect the placement state of the bags 500. The conveyor belt assembly includes a first transmission part 110 and a second transmission part 120. A first steering component 300 is disposed between the first transmission part 110 and the second transmission part 120. The first steering component 300 is also connected to a direction adjustment component. The direction detection component 200 is disposed directly above the first transmission part 110. The first steering component 300 is used to transport bags 500 that do not meet the requirements detected by the direction detection component 200 to the direction adjustment component. The direction adjustment component is used to adjust the direction of the bags 500 in the horizontal and / or vertical directions.
[0020] In this invention, the direction adjustment assembly includes a second steering assembly 410, and the first steering assembly 300 includes a lifting steering assembly 320, which is used to lift the bag body 500 and rotate it in the horizontal direction. The lifting steering assembly 320 includes a lifting disc portion 321 and a lifting rod portion 322. One side of the lifting disc portion 321 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod portion 322, and the other side of the lifting disc portion 321 is used to lift the bag body 500. The first steering assembly 300 includes a first lifting portion through groove 330, which is used for the lifting rod portion 322 to pass through to the second steering assembly 410. The second steering assembly 410 includes a second lifting portion through groove 411, which is used for the lifting steering assembly 320 to pass through. The width of the first lifting portion through groove 330 and the second lifting portion through groove 411 is greater than the outer diameter of the lifting disc portion 321. In order to facilitate the smooth transfer of the bag body 500 from the first transmission unit 110 to the second transmission unit 120, a plurality of first transmission wheels 310 are provided on the first steering assembly 300. The first transmission wheels 310 are used to transport the bag body 500 that does not need to be turned on the first transmission unit 110 to the second transmission unit 120.
[0021] Depending on the bag body 500, it is divided into a bag head 510 and a corresponding bag tail 520 in the horizontal direction, and into a first bag face 530 with a label and a corresponding second bag face 540 in the vertical direction. When the second conveyor unit (120) finally conveys the bag body (500) to the storage position or the next process, the bag head 510 is required to face the direction of travel of the second conveyor unit 120; the first bag face 530 should face upwards, that is, the second bag face 540 should be in contact with the second conveyor unit 120. This state meets the output requirements. However, due to various reasons, the bag head 510 of the bag body 500 on the first transmission unit 110 may not face the direction of travel of the second conveyor unit 120 and / or the second bag face 540 may not be in contact with the second conveyor unit 120 but may face upwards. In this case, it is necessary to adjust these incorrectly oriented bag bodies 500.
[0022] When the bag 500 passes the orientation detection component 200 on the first transmission unit 110, the orientation detection component 200 detects the bag 500 below to determine its orientation. This can be done using photographic detection. Using commercially available photographic equipment, the orientation detection component 200 takes a picture of the bag 500 and sends it to the control component. The control component then determines whether the bag 500 needs to be adjusted and how. Alternatively, to more accurately detect the bag 500 and trigger the orientation detection component 200, an infrared detection device can be installed below the orientation detection component 200. Once this device detects the bag 500, it triggers the orientation detection component 200 to take a picture.
[0023] After being detected by the detection component 200, the bag 500 continues to be conveyed on the first transmission unit 110 and then enters the first steering component 300. At this time, the first steering component 300 processes the bag 500 according to the information provided by the control component. If the control component determines that the bag 500 is in the direction of the second conveyor unit 120 with the first bag surface 530 facing upwards, then no adjustment of the direction of the bag 500 is needed. In this case, the lifting steering component 320 will not operate, but the bag 500 will be conveyed to the second conveyor unit 120 via the first conveyor wheel 310. Otherwise, the bag 500 needs to be sent to the direction adjustment component for direction adjustment.
[0024] The second steering assembly 410 includes a plurality of vertical drive wheels 412 and a plurality of horizontal drive wheels 413. The vertical drive wheels 412 and the horizontal drive wheels 413 are electrically connected to the control assembly. The horizontal drive wheels 413 are used to transport the bag body 500 that does not need to be flipped to the reversing conveyor assembly 420. The vertical drive wheels 412 are used to transport the bag body 500 that needs to be flipped to the flipping conveyor assembly 430.
[0025] If the orientation of the bag body 500 needs to be adjusted, the lifting and steering assembly 320 will be activated and rise. The lifting plate 321 will lift the bag body 500, and the lifting rod 322 will pass through the first lifting part through groove 330 and the second lifting part through groove 411, entering the second steering assembly 410 of the orientation adjustment assembly. During the movement of the lifting and steering assembly 320 or when it reaches the second steering assembly 410, the second steering assembly 410 will rotate horizontally to change the orientation of the bag head 510, according to the determination of the control assembly.
[0026] If the first bag face 530 of the bag body 500 is facing upwards, then only the orientation needs to be adjusted in the horizontal direction. The steering assembly 320 is lifted and rotated to align the orientation of the bag head 510 with the direction conveyed by the reversing conveyor assembly 420. If the second bag face 540 of the bag body 500 is facing upwards, then the orientation of the bag tail 520 is aligned with the direction conveyed by the flipping conveyor assembly 430.
[0027] Subsequently, the lifting and steering assembly 320 will descend and place the bag 500 onto the second steering assembly 410. After the lifting and steering assembly 320 lowers the bag 500, it will return to the first steering assembly 300. In order to facilitate the operation of the lifting and steering assembly 320, the width of the first lifting part through groove 330 and the second lifting part through groove 411 exceeds the outer diameter of the lifting plate 321.
[0028] The second steering assembly 410 will convey the bag 500. If the first bag face 530 is facing upwards, the horizontal drive wheel 413 is activated to send the bag 500 to the reversing conveyor assembly 420. If the second bag face 540 is facing upwards, the vertical drive wheel 412 is activated to send the bag 500 to the flipping conveyor assembly 430. At this time, the bag 500 conveyed on the reversing conveyor assembly 420 has completed its adjustment and only needs to continue conveying, while the bag 500 on the flipping conveyor assembly 430 still needs to be adjusted vertically.
[0029] The flipping conveyor assembly 430 has a curved design; the flipping conveyor assembly 430 includes a flipping part 431, which has a C-shaped structure. The flipping part 431 is used to make the second bag surface 540 fit against the reversing conveyor assembly 420 when the bag body 500 is transported to the reversing conveyor assembly 420. The lowest point of the flipping part 431 is located directly above the reversing conveyor assembly 420.
[0030] The flipping part 431 is also connected to the flipping cover 432, and the bag body 500 moves between the flipping part 431 and the flipping cover 432.
[0031] In this invention, the flipping part 431 is responsible for adjusting the bag body 500 in the vertical direction. For ease of adjustment, the bag body 500 is in an uphill state before reaching the flipping part 431 on the flipping conveyor assembly 430. During this process, the first bag surface 530 faces the flipping conveyor assembly 430 and the bag tail 520 faces the direction of travel of the flipping conveyor assembly 430. Upon reaching the flipping part 431, it will enter a downhill state. To ensure that the flipping of the bag body 500 can proceed normally and prevent flipping failure due to falling directly from the flipping part 431, a flipping guard 432 is provided on the flipping part 431. When the bag body 500 is downhill, it will slide in the space enclosed by the flipping part 431 and the flipping guard 432. Since the flipping part 431 has a C-shaped structure, when the bag body 500 reaches the lowest point of the flipping part 431 and the flipping cover 432, the first bag surface 530 faces the flipping conveyor assembly 430, the second bag surface 540 faces the flipping cover 432, and the bag head 510 faces the direction of the reversing conveyor assembly 420. With the action of gravity, the bag body 500 will leave the flipping part 431 and the flipping cover 432 and fall into the reversing conveyor assembly 420. At this point, the bag body 500 has completed the adjustment of its direction.
[0032] Understandably, the bag 900 state on the reversing conveyor assembly 420 meets the requirements and can be conveyed out.
[0033] A third steering component 440 is provided at one end of the reversing conveyor component 420 away from the second steering component 410. A plurality of third steering wheels 441 are provided on the third steering component 440. The third steering wheels 441 are used to transport the bag 500 on the reversing conveyor component 420 to the second conveyor section 120. The third steering wheels 441 are electrically connected to the control component.
[0034] After the bag 500 reaches the third steering assembly 440 via the reversing conveyor assembly 420, the third steering wheel 441 moves the bag 500 onto the second conveyor 120. The second conveyor 120 then conveys the bags 900 that meet the output requirements to the storage location or the next process.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
