Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated equipment development, specifically an automatic loading and unloading system for a paper packaging line. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, paper is cut into groups and stacked, with separators placed between each group to facilitate quantitative packaging. In the existing production process, the separators need to be lifted manually and pushed into the packaging machine by inserting a pusher plate. As the size of the paper changes, its weight also changes, increasing the workload for workers during manual pushing. At the same time, uneven pushing force during manual pushing can easily cause the lower layers of paper to shift, affecting the final packaging effect and causing packaging jams. To solve the above problems, an automatic loading and unloading system for paper packaging lines has been designed and developed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes an automatic loading and unloading system for a paper packaging line. The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0004] An automatic loading and unloading system for a paper packaging line includes:

[0005] Conveyor line, used to transport pallets;

[0006] The sorting component uses a lifting and lowering motion to avoid the paper on the tray, and then pushes the paper through X-axis and Y-axis planar motion to ensure paper alignment;

[0007] The pusher component extracts the separator between each group of papers and pushes each group of papers into the packaging machine;

[0008] The first limit switch component is positioned below the sorting component to buffer and position the incoming material pallet;

[0009] The second limit component is positioned below the push component to buffer and position the incoming material tray, ensuring that the push component can accurately push each set of paper.

[0010] The sorting assembly includes a first truss, on which a flat plate is provided. A first shaping plate and a second shaping plate are slidably installed on the flat plate. There are two of each of the first and second shaping plates, which are arranged perpendicularly to each other. Each first shaping plate is connected to a third cylinder installed on the back of the flat plate. The second shaping plate, which slides horizontally, is connected to a fourth cylinder installed on the back of the flat plate. The second shaping plate, which moves perpendicular to the horizontal direction, is connected to a fifth cylinder installed on the front of the flat plate.

[0011] The sliding stroke of the No. 1 shaping plate is less than that of the No. 2 shaping plate.

[0012] The pushing component includes a second truss, on which a first movable frame is provided that slides perpendicular to the horizontal direction. A first lifting platform is provided on the first movable frame. A gripper is provided on one side of the first lifting platform to grip the spacer between each group of papers. The gripper is connected to a first cylinder that drives the gripper to move horizontally. A second cylinder is provided on the first lifting platform to drive the gripper to lift and raise the spacer. The pushing component is provided with a conveying mechanism that is inserted between each group of papers to push the paper.

[0013] Above the gripper is a suction cup for adsorbing the paper separator, and above the suction cup are air grippers for gripping the paper separator. The air grippers are connected to a rotating arm, and the rotating arm is connected to a rotating cylinder installed on the No. 1 lifting platform.

[0014] The conveying mechanism includes a first push plate slidably mounted on a first lifting platform. The first push plate is equipped with a third cylinder mounted on the first lifting platform to push the first push plate. The first push plate is also connected to a seventh cylinder mounted on the first lifting platform to drive the first push plate into the paper. The first push plate has pressure plates distributed on it to press the paper. The pressure plates are equipped with a fourth cylinder mounted on the first lifting platform. The conveying mechanism also includes a second moving frame mounted on a second truss and sliding horizontally. The second moving frame is equipped with a second push plate.

[0015] The No. 1 lifting platform is equipped with a first camera and a second camera that are perpendicularly distributed to detect the horizontal and vertical positions of the paper.

[0016] Both the No. 1 and No. 2 mobile frames are equipped with a first linear motion mechanism to drive the No. 1 lifting platform and the No. 2 push plate to rise and fall respectively.

[0017] The second truss is equipped with a second linear motion mechanism that drives the first moving frame to move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and a third linear motion mechanism that drives the second moving frame to move in a horizontal direction.

[0018] The first limiting component includes a first limiting block, which is connected to a sixth cylinder distributed along a direction perpendicular to the horizontal. The first limiting component also includes a first side block, which is connected to a first side pushing mechanism.

[0019] The second limiting component includes a second limiting block distributed within the conveyor line, and the second limiting component also includes a second side block, which is connected to a second side pushing mechanism.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a first shaping plate to perform small-scale shaping of the paper, followed by a second shaping plate to perform large-scale shaping, thus flattening the stacked paper before pushing and preventing displacement during the pushing process; This utility model uses grippers to pick up the paper dividers, and by lifting the paper dividers, a gap is created between two adjacent groups of paper. Then, the first pusher plate is inserted into the gap, driving the first pusher plate to move until the paper is close to the end of the second pusher plate. Immediately afterwards, the second pusher plate enters the gap, the first pusher plate resets, and the second pusher plate moves to the middle of the paper to push the paper to the packaging machine, realizing automated gripping of paper dividers and pushing of paper. It can adapt to the pushing of different types of paper and the pushing process is stable. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present utility model and not all of them. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an automatic loading and unloading system for a paper packaging line includes:

[0036] Conveyor line 1, used to transport pallets;

[0037] The sorting component 2 moves by lifting and lowering to avoid the paper on the tray, and then pushes the paper through X-axis and Y-axis planar motion to ensure paper alignment;

[0038] Push component 3 extracts the spacer between each group of papers and pushes each group of papers into the packaging machine; for example... Figure 1 As shown, the paper is stacked along its height, with a separator between each group of paper to facilitate quantitative packaging of the paper;

[0039] Limiting component 4 is positioned below sorting component 2 to buffer and position the incoming pallet;

[0040] The second limiting component 5 is positioned below the push component 3 to buffer and position the incoming material tray, ensuring that the push component 3 can accurately push each set of paper.

[0041] The sorting component 2 includes a first truss 21, on which a flat plate 22 is mounted. A first shaping plate 23 and a second shaping plate 24 are slidably mounted on the flat plate 22. Two of each of the first and second shaping plates 23 are provided and are perpendicularly distributed to each other. Each first shaping plate 23 is connected to a third cylinder 25 mounted on the back of the flat plate. The second shaping plate 24, which slides horizontally, is connected to a fourth cylinder 26 mounted on the back of the flat plate. A horizontally moving second shaping plate 24 is connected to a fifth cylinder 27 mounted on the front of the flat plate; the first truss 21 is equipped with a sixth cylinder 28 connected to the flat plate 22, and there are four sixth cylinders 28, which cooperate with the four ends of the flat plate 22; the sixth cylinder 28 is used to lift the flat plate 22 to prevent the first and second shaping plates 23 and 24 from colliding with the paper during material feeding; the fourth cylinder 26 and the fifth cylinder 27 are respectively located on the front and back sides of the flat plate 22. This prevents the fifth cylinder 27 from impacting the paper during the paper shaping process and causing the paper to shift.

[0042] The sliding stroke of the first shaping plate 23 is less than that of the second shaping plate 24. The third cylinder 25 drives the first shaping plate 23 to shape one end of the paper, making one end completely aligned. Then, the fourth cylinder 26 and the fifth cylinder 27 drive the second shaping plate 24 to push the other two sides of the paper, making the whole paper aligned. After alignment, the first shaping plate 23 and the second shaping plate 24 reset simultaneously. The large stroke of the second shaping plate 24 can be adapted to various types of paper.

[0043] The pushing component 3 includes a second truss 31, on which a first movable frame 32 is provided that slides perpendicular to the horizontal direction. A first lifting platform 33 is provided on the first movable frame 32. A gripper 34 is provided on one side of the first lifting platform 33 to grip the spacer between each group of papers. The gripper 34 is connected to a first cylinder 35 that drives the gripper 34 to move in the horizontal direction. A second cylinder 36 is provided on the first lifting platform 33 to drive the gripper 34 to lift the spacer. The pushing component 3 is provided with a conveying mechanism 37 that is inserted between each group of papers to push the papers.

[0044] Above the gripper 34 is a suction cup 341 for adsorbing the paper separator. The suction cup 341 is connected to a rotating arm 342. The rotating arm 342 is connected to a rotating cylinder 343 installed on the first lifting platform 33. The first lifting platform 33 is equipped with a recycling box 344 for recycling the paper separator. After the gripper 34 grips the paper separator and resets, the suction cup 341 adsorbs the paper separator, the gripper 34 is released, and the rotating arm 342 rotates through the rotating cylinder 343 to put the paper separator into the recycling box 344.

[0045] The conveying mechanism 37 includes a first push plate 371 slidably mounted on a first lifting platform 33. The first push plate 371 is fitted with a third cylinder 372 mounted on the first lifting platform 33 to push the first push plate 371. The first push plate 371 is also connected to a seventh cylinder 377 mounted on the first lifting platform 33 to drive the first push plate 371 into the paper. Above the first push plate 371 are pressure plates 373 that press the paper together. The pressure plates 373 are fitted with a fourth cylinder 374 mounted on the first lifting platform 33. The conveying mechanism 37 also includes a second moving frame 375 mounted on a second truss 31 and sliding horizontally. The second moving frame 375 has a second push plate 376. When the gripper 34 grips and lifts the paper separator, the third cylinder 372 drives the first push plate 371 to insert into the gripper 34, lifting the gap between each group of papers. After the seventh cylinder 377 pushes the first push plate 371 upward to lift the paper, the gripper 34 then resets and the suction cup 341 absorbs the paper. After the first push plate 371 inserts the paper, the fourth cylinder 374 drives the pressure plate 373 to descend and cooperate with the first push plate 371 to press the paper firmly. Then, the second linear motion mechanism 7 drives the first push plate 371 to move closer to the second push plate 376. After moving to the edge of the paper, the third linear motion mechanism 8 drives the second push plate 376 into the gap where the first push plate 371 lifted the paper. Immediately afterwards, the first push plate 371 resets, and the third linear motion mechanism 8 drives the second push plate 376 to move horizontally to the middle of the paper. Then, the third linear motion mechanism 8 drives the second push plate 376 to move perpendicular to the horizontal direction to push the paper into the packaging machine. The front ends of the first push plate 371 and the second push plate 376 are both inclined to facilitate insertion into the gap between the papers.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, the gripper 34 and the first push plate 371 are mounted on the first lifting platform 33 via the adapter plate 9. The second cylinder 36 and the seventh cylinder 377 drive the gripper 34 and the first push plate 371 to rise and fall by pushing the adapter plate 9. The third cylinder 372 is also mounted on the adapter plate 9.

[0047] The first lifting platform 33 is equipped with a first camera 38 and a second camera 39 arranged perpendicularly to detect the horizontal and vertical positions of the paper divider. After the first camera 38 and the second camera 39 accurately position the paper divider, the first linear motion mechanism 6 drives the first lifting platform 33 to descend, causing the gripper 34 to move to the height of the paper divider. Then, the second linear motion mechanism 7 drives the first moving frame 32 to move horizontally or perpendicularly to the horizontal direction, so that the gripper 34 accurately positions the paper divider. Then, the first cylinder 35 pushes the gripper 34 to grab the paper divider. After grabbing, the second cylinder 36 drives the pusher 34 to rise to lift the paper divider.

[0048] Both the first movable frame 32 and the second movable frame 375 are equipped with a first linear motion mechanism 6 to drive the first lifting platform 33 and the second push plate 376 to rise and fall respectively.

[0049] The second truss 31 is equipped with a second linear motion mechanism 7 that drives the first moving frame 32 to move with two degrees of freedom along the plane, and a third linear motion mechanism 8 that drives the second moving frame 375 to move with two degrees of freedom along the plane; for example Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the first linear motion mechanism 6, the second linear motion mechanism 7, and the third linear motion mechanism 8 in this utility model are preferably gear and rack mechanisms. Other linear motion mechanisms, such as lead screw and guide rail mechanisms, can also be applied to this utility model.

[0050] The first limiting component 4 includes a first limiting block 41, which is connected to a sixth cylinder 42 distributed perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The first limiting component 4 also includes a first side block 43, which is connected to a first side pushing mechanism 44. The sixth cylinder 42 drives the first limiting block 41 to block and release the incoming pallet, preventing the next pallet from being impacted before the feeding of the pushing component 3 is completed. The first side pushing mechanism 44 and the second side pushing mechanism 53 are used to ensure that the pallet is in close contact with the conveyor line 1 and to ensure the consistency of the positioning position.

[0051] The second limiting component 5 includes a second limiting block 51 distributed within the conveyor line 1. The second limiting component 5 also includes a second side block 52, which is connected to a second side pushing mechanism 53. The conveyor line 1 is equipped with a mechanism that drives the second limiting block 51 to rise and fall. This is a conventional setting and is not shown in the attached drawings.

[0052] In this utility model, when paper needs to be packaged, the first step is: the feeding tray enters the conveyor line 1, and the sixth cylinder 42 drives the first limit block 41 to block the tray.

[0053] Step 2: Cylinder 28 drives the lifting plate 22 to descend. Then, cylinder 25 drives the shaping plate 23 to shape one end of the paper, making one end completely aligned. Immediately afterwards, cylinders 26 and 27 drive the shaping plate 24 to push the other two sides of the paper to align the whole. After alignment, the shaping plate 23 and the shaping plate 24 reset at the same time. Finally, cylinder 28 drives the lifting plate 22 to rise.

[0054] Step 3: Cylinder 42 drives limit block 41 to reset, conveyor line 1 transports the pallet to push assembly 3, and the conveying stops after the pallet engages with limit block 51.

[0055] Step 4: After the first camera 38 and the second camera 39 accurately position the paper divider, the first linear motion mechanism 6 drives the first lifting platform 33 to descend, causing the gripper 34 to move to the height of the paper divider. Then, the second linear motion mechanism 7 drives the first moving frame 32 to move horizontally or perpendicularly to the horizontal direction, so that the gripper 34 accurately positions the paper divider. Then, the first cylinder 35 pushes the gripper 34 to grab the paper divider. After grabbing, the second cylinder 36 drives the pusher 34 to rise to lift the paper divider.

[0056] Step 5: Cylinder 372 drives push plate 371 to insert into gripper 34 to lift the gap between each group of paper after the paper is separated. Then, cylinder 7 pushes push plate 371 to rise and lift the paper. Then, gripper 34 returns to its original position and suction cup 341 picks up the paper. After push plate 371 inserts the paper, cylinder 4 drives pressure plate 373 to descend and cooperate with push plate 371 to press the paper. Then, second linear motion mechanism 7 drives push plate 371 to move closer to push plate 376.

[0057] Step 6: After moving to the edge of the paper, the third linear motion mechanism 8 drives the second push plate 376 into the gap where the first push plate 371 lifts the paper. Then the first push plate 371 returns to its original position, and the third linear motion mechanism 8 drives the second push plate 376 to move horizontally to the middle of the paper. Subsequently, the third linear motion mechanism 8 drives the second push plate 376 to move vertically to push the paper into the packaging machine.

[0058] Step 7: Repeat the above operation until all the paper in the tray is pushed into the packaging machine. Then, limit block 51 is reset, and conveyor line 1 transports the empty tray to the AGV for removal.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
