[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The product collection and conveying device of the BFS production line shown includes a product receiving guide component 2 installed at the lower end of the punching of the BFS equipment 1. The product receiving guide component 2 is divided into an upper slide 21 and a lower slide 22, and a flipping mechanism 3 is installed between the two.
[0029] Specifically, the upper slide 21 is installed at the discharge port 11 of the punching end of the BFS equipment 1;
[0030] Reference Figure 3 The lower part of the flipping mechanism 3 is mounted on the support frame 4 and fixed to the unloading end of the upper slide 21. The flipping mechanism 3 rotates inside the support frame 4. The lower end of the flipping mechanism 3 is connected to the lower slide 22. The flipping mechanism 3 receives the product that slides down in the upper slide 21 and rotates and moves it to the lower slide 22, changing the product's unloading posture.
[0031] Specifically, the unloading end of the slide chute 22 is equipped with a product conveyor line 5.
[0032] Specifically, the BFS equipment 1 has multiple material dividing cuts 12 at the punching end outlet 11, which divide the product. The upper slide 21 is connected below the material dividing cuts 12. Both the upper slide 21 and the lower slide 22 have multiple partition slides 23, and partition plates 24 are provided between the multiple partition slides 23. The upper slide 21 has multiple buffer strips 25, and a baffle plate 6 is placed above the outlet of the upper slide 21.
[0033] Specifically, the baffle plate 6 is provided with limiting plates 61 on both sides. The baffle plate 6 is covered on the upper slide rail 21 by the limiting plates 61 on both sides, and the upper slide rail 21 is provided with limiting blocks 26 matching the limiting plates 61 on both sides.
[0034] In this embodiment, the upper slide 21 is horizontally installed directly below the punching end outlet 11 of the BFS device 1, ensuring that it is aligned with the material distribution cut 12. The partition slide 23 is divided into multiple independent channels by partitions 24, each channel corresponding to a material distribution cut 12 to achieve product diversion. Buffer strips 25 are installed on the surface of the slide, arranged horizontally, to slow down the product's downward speed.
[0035] In this embodiment, the baffle plate 6 is embedded in the limiting block 26 of the upper slide rail 21 by the limiting plates 61 on both sides, covering the outlet of the upper slide rail 21 to prevent the product from popping out or shifting. The height of the baffle plate 6 is adjustable to adapt to different product sizes.
[0036] Specifically, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a flipping receiving plate 31. Multiple collection slots 32 are provided on both sides of the flipping receiving plate 31 corresponding to the upper slide 21 and the lower slide 22. The multiple collection slots 32 correspond to multiple partition slides 23. Rotating shafts 33 are installed on both sides of the flipping receiving plate 31 and are connected to the support frames 4 on both sides.
[0037] Specifically, the depth of the collection trough 32 is at least sufficient to accommodate the overall length of the product, and the internal space of the support frame 4 is sufficient to accommodate the rotation space of the flip receiving plate 31.
[0038] In this embodiment, a flip-up receiving plate 31 is installed inside the support frame 4, and a rotating shaft 33 is connected to the support plate 42 via a bearing to ensure that it can rotate around the rotating shaft 33. The number of collection grooves 32 is consistent with the number of partitioned slides 23, and the depth is designed to be 1.2-1.5 times the product length to ensure complete reception and no falling off.
[0039] The slide 22 is fixed to the support frame 4 by the fixed support column 43. The partition 24 extends to the end of the slide 22 and is 20%-30% longer than the partition of the upper slide 21, which enhances the separation stability.
[0040] Specifically, a rotating motor 41 is provided on the support frame 4 corresponding to the rotating shaft 33, and support plates 42 are provided on both sides of the support frame 4. The rotating shaft 33 is connected to the support plates 42, and multiple fixed pillars 43 are provided between the two support plates 42. The sliding track 22 is fixed on the multiple fixed pillars 43.
[0041] Specifically, the overall length of the upper partition 24 of the lower slide 22 is longer than the overall length of the upper partition 24 of the upper slide 21.
[0042] In this embodiment, the rotating motor 41 drives the rotating shaft 33 via a coupling, supporting forward and reverse rotation control, and the rotation speed is adjusted according to the product slippage frequency. The fixed support column 43 of the support frame 4 is bolted to the ground or equipment frame to ensure overall vibration resistance.
[0043] In this embodiment, the products punched by the BFS device 1 are separated through the material separating cutter 12 and fall into the corresponding partitioned slide 23. The buffer strip 25 reduces the impact force of the products sliding down, and the baffle plate 6 limits the risk of the products popping out. The flip receiving plate 31 rotates at regular intervals under the drive of the motor to a position aligned with the upper slide 21, and the collection trough 32 receives the sliding products.
[0044] Specifically, after the product has fully entered the collection tank 32, the flip receiving plate 31 is rotated 160° to tilt the product onto the sliding track 22, changing it from a vertical state to a horizontal state.
[0045] Specifically, the extended partition 24 of the slide 22 maintains the separation of products and avoids collisions after posture adjustment. The products enter the conveyor line 5 through the end of the slide 22, completing continuous conveying.
[0046] In this embodiment, the precise alignment of the multi-zone slide 23 with the material distribution cutter 12 achieves high sorting efficiency and is compatible with high-speed BFS production lines. Synchronous control of the flipping mechanism 3 and the conveyor line 5 ensures uninterrupted operation, reducing downtime by 30%.
[0047] In this embodiment, the depth of the collection trough 32 matches the product size, and the flipping angle is programmable and adjustable to ensure that the product does not tip over or stack after flipping. The buffer strip 25 and the baffle plate 6 are used in combination to reduce the product breakage rate.
[0048] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
