Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bagged material transfer technology, and in particular relates to a rotary bag transfer machine. Background Technology
[0002] A bag transfer machine is an industrial automation device used to automatically move, handle, and transfer bagged materials. It is typically found in production lines or logistics processes that require handling various types of packaging bags (such as woven bags, paper bags, burlap sacks, etc.). The core function of a bag transfer machine is to replace manual labor in picking up, moving, and placing bagged items from one conveyor line to another, from the production line to a pallet (palletizing), or from a pallet to the production line (depalletizing).
[0003] A search revealed a fully automatic bag-breaking, unloading, and bag-transferring machine with publication number CN219807296U on the Chinese Patent website. This bag-transferring machine can be used for the transfer of bagged materials, but it has some defects and shortcomings that need to be improved: (1) In existing bagged material production lines, traditional bag-transferring equipment mostly adopts fixed-path conveyor belts or robotic arm structures, which have problems such as complex structures, low space utilization, and insufficient transfer stability. Although the bag-transferring robot achieves the steering function through multi-joint robotic arms, it relies on redundant transmission components, resulting in high maintenance costs and high energy consumption; (2) Bag-transferring devices using linear conveyor belts are difficult to adapt to flexible production requirements due to fixed paths, and the bags are prone to shift due to centrifugal force when running at high speeds; (3) Traditional bag-transferring machines only realize the transfer of workpieces and cannot effectively cooperate with the front and rear equipment to improve the stability and efficiency of bag transfer. Therefore, in view of the above problems, the rotary bag-transferring machine provided by this utility model is of great significance. Utility Model Content

[0045] The circuits, electronic components, and chip modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon.

[0046] All standard parts used in the application documents can be purchased from the market. All components in this application document can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art.

The electrical components mentioned in this document are all electrically connected to the external main controller and power supply, and the main controller is a conventional known device that can play a control role.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0048] In use, the first servo motor 9 is started, which drives the entire hollow rotating platform 1 to rotate through the transmission system in the frame 7, positioning the workpiece in the work position. During rotation, the pneumatic slip ring 8 maintains a continuous supply of air and electricity to prevent pipeline entanglement. The bag-holding mechanism 4 encircles the bag body, and the cylinder 10 drives the first connecting rod 13 to move. Through the rotating arm 14 and rocker arm 11, the lever 12 moves along the guide rail slider 15, causing the clamping block 16 to close and clamp the bag opening. The leveling cylinder 35 pushes the third hinge 33, thereby causing the slider 32 to slide linearly on the leveling top plate 31. The first crank 28 forms a rotating pair with the fixed frame 29 and the slider 32 respectively, causing relative rotation. The second crank 30 forms a rotating pair with the fixed frame 29. After the slider 32 moves a certain distance, the leveling limit block 34... By restricting the movement of slider 32, the flattening mechanism 5 achieves the functions of tightening the bag body, eliminating wrinkles, and ensuring the flatness of the bag body. The second servo motor 17 drives the reducer 18 through the coupling to reduce the speed and increase the torque. The output end of the reducer 18 drives the rotary block 21 to rotate. Through the symmetrical second connecting rod 22, the rotating plate 24 is pushed to swing around the axis. The swing of the rotating plate 24 is transmitted to the bag holding mechanism 4 through the synchronous connecting rod 25 to adjust the tilt angle of the bag body in real time to adapt to the needs of different work stations. The limit block 23 restricts the maximum swing range of the rotating plate 24 to prevent overtravel. After the hollow rotating platform 1 stops rotating, the cylinder 10 of the bag clamping mechanism 3 retracts, the clamping block 16 releases the bag mouth, the posture adjustment mechanism 2 drives the rotating plate 24 to return to its original position, and the bag holding mechanism 4 and the flattening mechanism 5 reset, ready for the next bag clamping and bag moving.
[0049] The first servo motor 9 of the hollow rotary platform 1 provides precise rotational power, and the multi-station rapid switching is realized through closed-loop control. The pneumatic-electric slip ring 8 ensures the continuous transmission of energy and signals during rotation, avoiding the wear problem of traditional slip rings. The rigid connection between the base 6 and the frame 7 ensures the stability of the rotary platform and reduces the impact of vibration on accuracy. The cylinder 10 drives the double rocker mechanism, which converts linear motion into clamping action of the clamping block 16. It has a fast response and adjustable clamping force. The flattening mechanism 5 is arranged in parallel with the bag holding mechanism 4. The flattening mechanism 5 uses the flattening cylinder 35 as the power source. It drives the flattening top plate 31 to move to both sides through the third hinge 33, slider 32 and first crank 28. This drives the bag holding mechanism 3 fixed on the flattening top plate 31 to move. The mechanical tension generated by the flattening mechanism evenly stretches the bag body, avoiding wrinkles caused by loosening during the transfer process, and providing a flat foundation for the subsequent sealing process. The second servo motor 17 cooperates with the reducer 18. Through the planar four-bar linkage composed of the rotary block 21 and the second connecting rod 22, the rotational motion is converted into the precise swing of the rotating plate 24. The synchronous connecting rod 25 transmits the angle change of the rotating plate 24 to the bag holding mechanism 4, ensuring that the bag body is always aligned with the target position during the rotation process, realizing the posture adjustment operation during rotation. The limit block 23 limits the swing angle of the rotating plate 24 to prevent the mechanism from being overloaded or colliding.
