Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular to a strip package sampling module and a strip package packaging production line. Background Technology

[0002] Product quality monitoring is required during the production and packaging of strip packages. In addition to setting up weighing modules to weigh each strip package to control its weight, sampling inspection is often required. To improve the automation of the entire strip package packaging process, a corresponding sampling module needs to be configured to randomly sample strip packages on the production line. At the same time, the sampling module also needs to cooperate with other processes before and after to achieve smooth connection with upstream and downstream processes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a strip package sampling module that can achieve automatic sampling, as well as a strip package packaging production line using the strip package sampling module.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A strip package sampling module includes a fixed plate, a sampling slide plate, a sampling box, and a sampling power drive assembly. The fixed plate is provided with a plurality of sampling grooves arranged along the strip package running direction to accommodate strip packages (standing on their sides). The sampling grooves are open at both ends, and the bottom of the grooves is provided with a first through groove that allows the strip package to pass through. The sampling slide plate is located below the fixed plate and blocks the first through groove. The sampling slide plate is provided with a plurality of second through grooves adapted to the first through grooves. The two through grooves are the same in shape and number. The sampling power drive assembly is connected to the sampling slide plate to drive the sampling slide plate to move. In the normal state, the second through grooves are offset from the first through grooves, and the first through groove is blocked. During sampling, the sampling slide plate moves under the drive of the sampling power drive assembly, so that the second through grooves are positioned opposite the first through grooves, and the strip package in the sampling groove falls from the second through groove for sampling. The sampling box is located below the sampling slide plate to catch the fallen strip package.

[0006] Furthermore, the sampling box is provided with several partitions, which divide the sampling box into receiving compartments that match the number and position of the sampling chutes. Each receiving compartment receives the strips that fall from the corresponding sampling chutes.

[0007] Furthermore, the sampling box is slidably mounted on the bracket, and a handle is provided on the outer side of the sampling box for sliding and pulling the sampling box to take a sample.

[0008] Furthermore, the sampling power drive assembly includes a cylinder, a linear slide rail, and a slider. The linear slide rail is perpendicular to the extension direction of the sampling groove. The slider is disposed on the linear slide rail and can slide along the linear slide rail. The slider is also connected to the sampling slide plate. The telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the sampling slide plate to drive the sampling slide plate and the slider to move along the linear slide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, the sampling power drive assembly also includes a sampling mounting beam, on which both the cylinder and the linear slide rail are mounted.

[0010] Furthermore, the cylinder is also connected to a solenoid valve assembly, which is used to control the movement of the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the sampling power drive component is connected to the control system and is used to drive the sampling slide plate to move according to the settings or instructions of the control system.

[0012] A strip packaging production line includes the aforementioned strip sampling module, and further includes a pushing module, a weighing module, and a rejection module. The weighing module and the rejection module are each provided with a plurality of parallel strip package chutes capable of accommodating (sideways) strip packages. The strip package chutes on the weighing module, the strip package chutes on the rejection module, and the sampling chutes on the sampling module can all be connected to each other. The pushing module is located above the sampling module, the weighing module, and the rejection module. The pushing module includes a pushing plate and a pushing drive mechanism. Under the drive of the pushing drive mechanism, the pushing plate pushes the strip packages to move between the sampling module, the weighing module, and the rejection module.

[0013] Furthermore, the weighing module, sampling module, and rejection module are arranged sequentially along the running direction of the strip package, with the weighing module set horizontally and the sampling module and rejection module set at an upward inclination. That is, the strip package chute on the weighing module is set horizontally, while the strip package chute on the rejection module and the sampling chute on the sampling module are set at an upward inclination, and the strip package moves from the horizontal section to the climbing section.

[0014] Furthermore, the pushing drive mechanism includes a synchronous belt pulley assembly and a guide support assembly. The pushing plate is fixed on the synchronous belt of the synchronous belt pulley assembly and moves with the synchronous belt. The guide support assembly includes a first guide bar, a second guide bar, and a third guide bar. The first guide bar is adapted to the running trajectory of the pushing plate running on the upper surface of the synchronous belt. Needle roller bearings are provided at both ends of the pushing plate. The pushing plate slides on the first guide bar through the needle roller bearings. The second and third guide bars are located below the first guide bar. A groove space is formed between the second and third guide bars to allow the pushing plate to pass through. The groove space is adapted to the position of the pushing plate running on the lower surface of the second synchronous belt. The pushing plate slides in the groove space through the needle roller bearings.

[0015] This utility model's strip bag sampling module includes components such as a fixing plate, a sampling slide plate, a sampling box, and a sampling power drive assembly. Automatic strip bag sampling is achieved through the misalignment or connection between the first through slot on the fixing plate and the second through slot on the sampling slide plate. Multiple rows of strip bags can be sampled simultaneously, avoiding the need for replenishment when subsequent strip bags are packed due to missing strip bags in a single row. The sampling box provides a separate compartment for each row of strip bags, allowing for individual testing and production traceability. If the sealing of a row of strip bags is found to be substandard, the working status of the corresponding strip bag machine can be traced, enabling timely detection and handling of production problems. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple and can be seamlessly integrated with upstream and downstream processes.

[0016] The strip packaging production line of this utility model includes a strip sampling module, a pushing module, a weighing module, and a rejection module. The sampling module, weighing module, and rejection module can be smoothly connected and their arrangement can be adjusted as needed. The pushing module can realize the movement of strips between various processes. Its novel structure can meet the needs of long-line transportation and is particularly suitable for pushing materials between multiple processes without being affected by changes in the height of the production line.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] A strip sampling module 10, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the assembly includes a fixed plate 1, a sampling slide plate 2, a sampling box 3, and a sampling power drive assembly 4. The fixed plate 1 has several sampling grooves 11 arranged along the running direction of the strip package 6, each capable of accommodating the strip package 6 (standing sideways). The sampling grooves 11 are open at both ends, and their bottoms have first through slots 12 allowing the strip package 6 to pass through. The sampling slide plate 2 is positioned below the fixed plate 1 and blocks the first through slots 12. The sampling slide plate 2 has several second through slots 21 adapted to the first through slots 12. The samples are identical in shape and quantity. The sampling power drive component 4 is connected to the sampling slide plate 2 to drive the sampling slide plate 2 to move. In normal state, the second through groove 21 is offset from the first through groove 12, and the first through groove 12 is blocked. During sampling, the sampling slide plate 2 moves under the drive of the sampling power drive component 4, so that the second through groove 21 and the first through groove 12 are in opposite positions. The strips in the sampling chute 11 fall from the second through groove 21 for sampling. The sampling box 3 is set below the sampling slide plate 2 to receive the fallen strips. This structure can randomly and simultaneously extract multiple rows of strips. Compared with manual or automatic extraction of strips in a certain row, it avoids the need to replenish materials due to the absence of strips in a certain row during the subsequent strip arrangement and stacking process.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sampling box 3 is provided with several partitions 41. The partitions 41 divide the sampling box 3 into receiving compartments that match the number and position of the sampling chutes 11. Each receiving compartment receives the strips falling from the corresponding sampling chutes 11, ensuring that each row of strips falls into a single receiving compartment for separate testing, avoiding confusion, improving the traceability of strip production, and achieving the purpose of monitoring product quality during the production process. This allows for the timely detection and handling of quality abnormalities. The sampling box 3 is slidably mounted on the bracket 5, and a handle 42 is also provided on the outer surface of the sampling box 3 for sliding and pulling the sampling box 3 to take samples.

[0029] In one embodiment, the sampling power drive assembly 4 includes a cylinder 31, a linear slide rail 32, and a slider 33. The linear slide rail 32 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the sampling chute 11. The slider 33 is mounted on the linear slide rail 32 and can slide along it. The slider 33 is also connected to the sampling slide plate 2. The telescopic end of the cylinder 31 is connected to the sampling slide plate 2 to drive the sampling slide plate 2 and the slider 33 to move along the linear slide rail 32. In this embodiment, both the cylinder 31 and the linear slide rail 32 are mounted on the sampling mounting beam 34. The cylinder 31 is also connected to a solenoid valve assembly 35, which controls the action of the cylinder 31. Under normal conditions, the cylinder 31 is in a retracted state, and the first through groove 12 and the second through groove 21 are offset from each other, allowing the strip package delivered to this section to continue moving forward. During sampling, the cylinder 31 extends through the solenoid valve assembly 35 to achieve online manual or automatic sampling.

[0030] In order to achieve automatic control of strip sampling, the sampling power drive component 4 is connected to the control system and is used to drive the sampling slide plate 2 to move according to the settings or instructions of the control system.

[0031] A strip packaging production line, such as Figures 7 to 9 The system includes the aforementioned strip-package sampling module 10, a pushing module 40, a weighing module 20, and a rejection module 30. Both the weighing module 20 and the rejection module 30 are equipped with several parallel strip-package grooves that can accommodate strip packages (standing sideways). These grooves on the weighing module 20, the rejection module 30, and the sampling groove 11 on the sampling module 10 can all connect to each other. The pushing module 40 is positioned above the sampling module 10, the weighing module 20, and the rejection module 30. The pushing module 40 includes a pusher plate 401 and a pusher drive mechanism. Driven by the pusher drive mechanism, the pusher plate 401 pushes the strip packages between the sampling module 10, the weighing module 20, and the rejection module 30. The arrangement order of the sampling module 10, the weighing module 20, and the rejection module 30 can be set according to actual needs.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to meet the height difference requirement of the operation stations of the preceding and following processes, the weighing module 20, the sampling module 10 and the rejection module 30 are arranged in sequence along the running direction of the strip package. The weighing module 20 is set horizontally, and the sampling module 10 and the rejection module 30 are set inclined upwards. That is, the strip package chute on the weighing module 20 is set horizontally, and the strip package chute on the rejection module 30 and the sampling chute 11 on the sampling module 10 are set inclined upwards. The strip package runs from the horizontal section to the climbing section.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pushing drive mechanism includes a synchronous belt pulley assembly and a guide support assembly. The pushing plate 401 is fixed on the synchronous belt 402 of the synchronous belt pulley assembly and moves with the synchronous belt 402. The guide support assembly includes a first guide bar 403, a second guide bar 404, and a third guide bar 405. The first guide bar 403 is adapted to the running trajectory of the pushing plate 401 running on the upper surface of the synchronous belt 402. Needle roller bearings are provided at both ends of the pushing plate 401, and the pushing plate 401 slides on the first guide bar 403 via the needle roller bearings. The first guide bar 403 supports and guides the pushing plate 401. The second guide bar 404 and the third guide bar 405 are located below the first guide bar 403. A groove space is formed between the second guide bar 404 and the third guide bar 405, allowing the pusher plate 401 to pass through. This groove space is adapted to the position of the pusher plate 401 running on the lower surface of the second synchronous belt 402. The pusher plate 401 slides in this groove space via needle roller bearings. At this time, the pusher plate 401 pushes the strip below, ensuring a smooth and stable pushing process without shaking. Both ends of the pusher plate 401 are supported, preventing sagging. The second guide bar 404 and the third guide bar 405 provide support, guidance, and limiting for the pusher plate 401. Two synchronous belts 402 can be provided on the left and right sides. After the pusher plate 401 is fixed on the two synchronous belts 402, its two ends slide on the guide and support assembly via needle roller bearings under the drive of the synchronous belts 402. The first guide bar 403, the second guide bar 404, and the third guide bar 405 are installed on the inner sides of the left and right side plates of the timing belt 402 support frame.

[0034] To accommodate the height changes of the weighing module 20, sampling module 10, and rejection module 30, a guide wheel 406 is also provided on the synchronous belt pulley assembly. The synchronous belt 402 transitions from the horizontal section to the climbing section through the guide wheel 406, allowing the pusher plate 401 to contact the strip below for pushing.

[0035] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the present utility model should be included in the patent scope of this case.
