Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging technology, specifically to a button packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] Buttons, as essential accessories for everyday clothing, are widely used in the apparel and bag industries. In the button production process, the final packaging stage is crucial, affecting not only the product's sales image but also production efficiency and cost control. Currently, the workshop uses semi-automatic packaging equipment. Significant manual intervention is still required in the button conveying, counting, and sealing processes, preventing full automation. For button counting, the packaging uses a conveyor belt and a narrow inlet formed by two plates to transport buttons of a certain weight. This results in a significant deviation between the actual number of buttons and the standard number. Too few buttons affect subsequent processes or downstream garment manufacturers, while too many cause waste and indirectly increase costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a button packaging machine that not only achieves accurate button counting but also saves production costs.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a button packaging machine, including a worktable, a feeding rack, a covering mold, a sealing mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a bag-separating mechanism, and a material feeding mechanism. The feeding rack and the material feeding mechanism are respectively installed on the upper part of the worktable, and the covering mold, the sealing mechanism, the feeding mechanism, and the bag-separating mechanism are respectively installed on the front end of the worktable. The covering mold has a vertically penetrating covering channel, and the outlet of the material feeding mechanism leads to the covering channel. The sealing mechanism is located between the covering mold and the worktable. The covering mold has a notch on the side facing the sealing mechanism. The feeding mechanism is located below the sealing mechanism, and the bag-separating mechanism is located below the feeding mechanism.

[0005] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a slide rail and an isolation component installed on the workbench. The slide rail is inclined and has a sliding channel. The end of the sliding channel leads to the covering channel. The lower end of the sliding channel has multiple through holes. The output end of the isolation component can extend upward into the sliding channel through the through holes. There are two sets of isolation components, one in front of the other, located below the slide rail.

[0006] Furthermore, the isolation assembly includes a cylinder and a push plate. The cylinder is mounted on the worktable, with its output end facing upward and connected to the push plate. The upper end of the push plate is provided with a cylinder, which can extend upward into the sliding channel through a through hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the sliding channel has an opening at the top, and a position sensor is provided at the lower end of the slide rail, with the output end of the position sensor extending upward into the through hole.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a swing frame, one end of which is hinged to the workbench, and the other end of the swing frame has two swing arms on both sides. The upper ends of the two swing arms are provided with inclined receiving grooves. The top of the feeding rack is provided with a groove. The swing frame can swing and lean against one side of the feeding rack. The receiving groove can be horizontally connected to the upper end surface of the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a support column is provided on the outer side of the swing arm.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a guide wheel assembly, which is installed at the front end of the feeding rack, and multiple guide wheels are horizontally arranged in the guide wheel assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a tactile switch and a round rod. Two supports are vertically provided on both sides of the lower end of the guide wheel assembly. Each of the two supports has a vertical guide groove. The round rod is mounted in the guide groove. The tactile switch is installed on the side of the support with the output end of the tactile switch facing upward. The round rod can abut against and trigger the tactile switch. The tactile switch is electrically connected to the feed mechanism.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The original conveyor belt side guards are retained as part of the workbench, facilitating the protection of the new structure and the installation of other components; after the buttons are output from the vibratory feeder to the sliding channel, they can slide into the covering mold along the sliding channel and finally enter the inner side of the plastic film, ensuring stability and reliability; the output end of the isolation component can extend upward into the sliding channel through the through hole to block the buttons in the sliding channel and continuously accumulate the buttons. When a certain number of buttons are collected between the two sets of isolation components, they are released to the covering mold; compared with the unmodified equipment, this technical solution achieves accurate button counting, reducing the original deviation rate of more than 5% to about 0.5%, which not only meets the requirements of other processes or manufacturers but also saves production costs.

[0023] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of this utility model in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0024] like Figure 1-8As shown, a button packaging machine includes a worktable 1, a feeding rack 2, a covering mold 3, a sealing mechanism 4, a feeding mechanism 5, a bag-separating mechanism 6, and a feeding mechanism. The feeding rack 2 and the feeding mechanism are respectively installed on the upper end of the worktable 1. The feeding rack 2 is used to support a rotating shaft 15. A heat-pressable roll of plastic film 16 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15 and clamped by a detachable bearing, allowing it to be freely unwound on the feeding rack 2. The feeding mechanism is used to transport buttons. Before modification, a conveyor belt and two plates were used. The narrowed inlet formed by the material transports buttons weighed to a certain extent. The actual number of buttons deviates significantly from the standard number. Too few buttons affect subsequent processes or downstream garment manufacturers, while too many cause waste and indirectly increase costs. The covering mold 3, sealing mechanism 4, feeding mechanism 5, and bagging mechanism 6 are respectively installed at the front end of the workbench 1. The covering mold 3 has a vertically penetrating covering channel 301 that narrows from top to bottom, vertically gathering, folding, and maintaining the shape of the plastic film 17 to prepare for sealing. The outlet of the feeding mechanism leads to the covering channel 301. The buttons slide smoothly from the feeding mechanism into the inside of the plastic film 17 in the covering channel 301. The sealing mechanism 4 is located between the covering mold 3 and the workbench 1. The side of the covering mold 3 facing the sealing mechanism 4 has a notch 302. The folded plastic film 17 is exposed outside the notch 302 and located in the sealing mechanism 4, forming a hollow plastic bag after heat sealing. The feeding mechanism 5 is located at the edge sealing mechanism. Below 4, hollow plastic bags are conveyed downwards. The bag-separating mechanism 6 is located below the feeding mechanism 5. When the hollow plastic bag reaches the bag-separating mechanism 6, it is heat-pressed and cut by the bag-separating mechanism 6. A cylindrical plastic bag is formed above the bag-separating mechanism 6, and the buttons are successfully stored in the cylindrical plastic bag. Under the continuous conveying of the feeding mechanism 5, the cylindrical plastic bag containing the buttons enters below the bag-separating mechanism 6. The upper end of the plastic bag is heat-pressed and cut by the bag-separating mechanism 6, finally forming a bag of buttons. It should be noted that the feeding rack 2, the covering mold 3, the sealing mechanism 4, the feeding mechanism 5, the bag separating mechanism 6, and the feeding mechanism are all existing technologies. The feeding rack 2 only realizes simple free unwinding. The covering mold 3 is widely used in industry and is often used in continuous production to cover and form strip and sheet materials to meet subsequent use requirements. The feeding mechanism 5 only realizes simple vertical conveying function. The sealing mechanism 4 and the bag separating mechanism 6 are equipped with heating modules and clamping and releasing components for hot pressing the plastic film 17, which are common technical means. The difference is that the bag separating mechanism 6 has a blade in the middle, which can cut the plastic bag laterally while hot pressing, thereby forming multi-bag buttons. The above-mentioned existing technologies will not be described in detail here.

[0025] The modified feeding mechanism includes a slide rail 7 and an isolation component 8 mounted on the workbench 1. It uses an external vibratory feeder for feeding, removing the original conveyor belt while retaining the side guards 101 as part of the workbench 1 to protect the new structure and facilitate the installation of other components. The vibratory feeder can arrange and output buttons within it, which is existing technology and will not be described further. The slide rail 7 is inclined and has a sliding channel 701. The end of the sliding channel 701 leads to the covering channel 301. After being output from the vibratory feeder to the sliding channel 701, the buttons slide into the covering mold 3 along the sliding channel 701 and finally into the inner side of the plastic film 17. The lower end of the sliding channel 701 has multiple through holes 702, through which the output end of the isolation component 8 can pass to... The device extends upward into the sliding channel 701 to block the buttons within it. Two sets of isolation components 8 are positioned one in front of the other below the slide rail 7. Buttons between the two sets of isolation components 8 can be assisted by a counter or timer to collect a certain number before being released into the covering mold 3. After release, there is a 3-second delay for the buttons to be arranged in the holes. The end of the sliding channel 701 is closed by the isolation components 8, while the beginning of the sliding channel 701 is opened for the buttons to enter. The auxiliary control using existing technologies such as external timers, delay units, and counters is a conventional technique and will not be elaborated further. Compared to unmodified equipment, this technical solution achieves accurate button counting, reducing the original deviation rate of over 5% to approximately 0.5%, which not only meets the requirements of other processes or manufacturers but also saves production costs.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the isolation component 8 includes a cylinder 801 and a pusher plate 802. The cylinder 801 is mounted on the workbench 1, with its output end facing upwards and connected to the pusher plate 802. The upper end of the pusher plate 802 is provided with a cylinder 803, which extends upwards into the sliding channel 701 through a through hole 702. The cylinder 803 forms a blocking and releasing state for the buttons within the sliding channel 701. An opening is provided above the sliding channel 701, and a position sensor 9 is provided at the lower end of the slide rail 7. The output end of the position sensor 9 extends upwards into the through hole 702 to detect the buttons and provide feedback on their quantity. The opening serves as a clearance for false alarms by the detection end of the position sensor 9. When the position sensor 9 detects a signal that has been held for more than 1 second, it indicates that a certain number of buttons have been collected in the sliding channel 701. At this time, the buttons can be conveyed with the cooperation of the isolation component 8.

[0027] This technical solution can also be equipped with a swing frame 10, one end of which is hinged to the workbench 1. The other end of the swing frame 10 has two swing arms 1001 on both sides. The upper end of the two swing arms 1001 is provided with an inclined receiving groove 1003. The two ends of the rotating shaft 15 with rolled plastic film 16 can be embedded in the receiving groove 1003. The top of the feeding rack 2 is provided with a groove 201 for supporting the rotating shaft 15. The swing frame 10 can swing and lean against one side of the feeding rack 2. The rotating shaft 15 with rolled plastic film 16 can swing with the swing frame 10 to the top of the feeding rack 2. The receiving groove 1003 can be horizontally connected to the upper surface of the groove 201. The rotating shaft 15 can roll out from the receiving groove 1003 and fall into the groove 201, forming a convenient and quick material changing method. Compared with manual lifting and loading, this technical solution effectively avoids workers being scratched by the equipment or crushed by the rotating shaft 15, ensuring the safety of workers. The swing arm 1001 is provided with a support column 1002 on the outside, which provides a force support point for supporting the swing frame 10 with the rotating shaft 15 and the rolled plastic film 16, making loading convenient and quick.

[0028] This technical solution can also include a guide wheel assembly 11, a tactile switch 13, and a round rod 14. The guide wheel assembly 11 is installed at the front end of the unloading rack 2. Multiple guide wheels are horizontally arranged in the guide wheel assembly 11 to straighten the rolled plastic film 16 and provide guidance for it. Two supports 12 are vertically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the guide wheel assembly 11. Each support 12 has a vertical guide groove 1201. The round rod 14 is mounted within the guide groove 1201. The tactile switch 13 is installed on the side of the support 12, with its output end facing upwards. The round rod 14 can abut against and trigger the tactile switch 13. The tactile switch 13 is electrically connected to the feeding mechanism 5. During the unwinding process of the plastic film 17, the plastic film 17 will pass around the round rod 14 from the lower end. Under the conveying of the feeding mechanism 5, the plastic film 17 is continuously pulled, while the lower end of the round rod 14... After the plastic film 17 is tightened, the round rod 14 will be raised, causing the round rod 14 to release the tactile switch 13. The feeding mechanism 5 loses the signal from the tactile switch 13 and needs to wait for the signal to be restored before it can continue to feed downwards. Under the action of the weight of the round rod 14, the rolled plastic film 16 is pulled and unwound. The round rod 14 slowly sinks until it triggers the tactile switch 13. After receiving the signal, the feeding mechanism 5 can restart the next round of feeding operations, thereby ensuring the orderly unwinding of the rolled plastic film 16 and avoiding the plastic film 17 from scattering on the ground or getting caught in other mechanisms due to the excessive unwinding speed. Due to different production requirements, the weight of the rolled plastic film 16 affects its minimum pulling force. Counterweights can be hung at both ends of the round rod 14 to ensure that the weight of the round rod 14 can drive the rolled plastic film 16 to unwind freely and passively.

[0029] Description of the working principle of this utility model:

[0030] The output end of the external vibratory feeder is connected to the slide rail 7 of this device, and the buttons in the vibratory feeder are orderly conveyed to the sliding channel 701. Under the isolation effect of the bottom isolation component 8, the number of buttons in the sliding channel 701 continues to accumulate until the position sensor 9 is triggered. The top isolation component 8 rises and isolates, and the bottom isolation component 8 releases the buttons. The buttons slide into the hopper of the covering mold 3 and into the inside of the plastic film 17 in the covering channel 301, and finally fall into the cylindrical plastic bag at the top of the bagging mechanism 6. As the packaging continues, the folded plastic film 17 extending from the notch 302 of the covering mold 3 is sealed by heat pressing and continuously descends under the conveying of the feeding mechanism 5. The final heat pressing and cutting are achieved at the bagging mechanism 6 to form bagged buttons. When the roll of plastic film 16 is used up and needs to be replaced, the new roll of plastic film 16 is inserted into the receiving groove 1003 through the rotating shaft 15. The swing frame 10 is lifted by the support column 1002 and finally rests on the feeding frame 2. The roll of plastic film 16 is pushed along with the rotating shaft 15 until the rotating shaft 15 is re-inserted into the groove 201, thus completing the feeding of the roll of plastic film 16.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
