[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention from another angle. Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention from another angle.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a strip-packing flat-to-vertical mechanism includes: a slide 100, a slide mounting shaft 200, an extended slide 300, an extended slide mounting shaft 400, a fixing block 500, a slide bracket 600, an extended slide bracket 700, an adjusting block 800, a flow channel plate 900, a cylinder 1000, and a push plate structure 1100. The slide 100 is connected to the slide mounting shaft 200, the extended slide 300 is connected to the extended slide mounting shaft 400, and the slide mounting shaft 200 is connected to the extended slide... The mounting shaft 400 is connected, the slide 100 is connected to the slide bracket 600 through the fixing block 500, the extension slide 300 is connected to the extension slide bracket 700 through the fixing block 500, the slide bracket 600 and the extension slide bracket 700 are respectively connected to the adjusting block 800 through the T-nut, the adjusting block 800 is connected to the flow channel plate 900, the push plate structure 1100 is connected to the cylinder 1000, and the cylinder 1000 is connected to the flow channel plate 900 through the push plate structure 1100.

[0026] The push plate structure 1100 includes: a push plate 1110, a push plate fixing block 1120, and a push plate mounting plate 1130. The push plate 1110 is fixed on the push plate fixing block 1120, the push plate fixing block 1120 is fixed on the cylinder 1000, and the push plate mounting plate 1130 connects the cylinder 1000 and the flow channel plate 900.

[0027] The principle of this invention: Flat-lying strips packaged by a multi-row machine slide down the slide 100 along the extended slide 300 onto the flow channel plate 900, where they are stopped by a recessed position. At this time, the cylinder 1000 pushes the push plate 1110 upwards. Because the push plate 1110 is angled, the flat-lying strips rise on one side as the push plate rises, thus changing the strips from a flat to a side-standing position. Then, the push plate 1110 drives the strips forward. The slide bracket 600 is fixed to the adjusting block 800 by a T-nut, and the adjusting block 800 is connected to the flow channel plate 900. The slide angle is adjusted by moving the slide bracket 600 on the adjusting block, making the strips slide more smoothly. The push plate 1110, through the through groove on the flow channel plate 900, can push the strips in the flow channel groove from a flat to a side-standing position.

[0028] The innovative structure and implementation principle of this utility model are primarily reflected in the chute and extended chute system. The connection design between the chute 100 and the chute mounting shaft 200, the connection design between the extended chute 300 and the extended chute mounting shaft 400, and the connection method between the chute mounting shaft 200 and the extended chute mounting shaft 400 form a combined structure that replaces the traditional irregularly shaped chute track, adopting a modular design. The chute 100 and the extended chute 300 can form a continuous but adjustable sliding channel, allowing the strip package to transition smoothly. This design uses standardized components, greatly reducing the processing difficulty of parts while improving assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience.

[0029] Secondly, the adjustable support system is also a crucial part of the innovative structure. The chute support 600 and the extended chute support 700 are connected to the adjusting block 800 via T-nuts. The design of the fixing block 500 connecting the chute and the support allows for precise adjustment of the position and angle of the chute support 600 and the extended chute support 700 on the adjusting block 800. This is the key structure for achieving the innovative feature of "adjustable chute angle." By adjusting the position of these supports, the tilt angle of the chute can be changed, thereby accommodating strips of different sizes and weights, ensuring that the strips can glide at the appropriate speed and posture. This adjustment mechanism simplifies the process of adapting to different product specifications, eliminates the need to replace parts, and improves the versatility of the equipment and production efficiency.

[0030] The tilting push-pack structure is another innovation, comprising a push plate structure 1100: a push plate 1110, a push plate fixing block 1120, and a push plate mounting plate 1130; the connection method between the cylinder 1000 and the push plate structure 1100; and the design of the push plate mounting plate 1130 connecting the cylinder 1000 and the flow channel plate 900. This is the core part of realizing the innovation of the "tilted push-pack structure." The push plate structure 1100 is driven by the cylinder 1000, allowing for precise control of the pushing force and speed. The design of the push plate 1110 considers the angle and area of ​​contact with the pack, ensuring that the product is not damaged during the pushing process. The design of the push plate fixing block 1120 and the push plate mounting plate 1130 allows the entire push-pack mechanism to work at the optimal angle, maintaining stability during the transition of the pack from a lying to an upright position, reducing the risk of swaying and tipping. This tilting design is an improvement on the traditional vertical push-pack method, enabling a smoother transition of the pack's posture.

[0031] The flow channel plate design is also part of the innovative structure, including the connection method between the flow channel plate 900 and the adjusting block 800, as well as the collaborative design between the flow channel plate 900 and the pusher plate structure 1100. As the critical path for strip turning, the design of the flow channel plate 900 directly affects the stability of the turning process. In this design, the flow channel plate 900 forms a continuous motion path with the chute system through the adjusting block 800, ensuring that the strip is always controlled throughout the turning process. The surface treatment and angle design of the flow channel plate 900 take into account factors such as reducing friction and avoiding strip damage, which is one aspect of improving the operational stability of the equipment.

[0032] The entire process of the strip package flat-to-vertical mechanism reflects the synergy of the system design: the strip package first enters the system through the slide 100, the extended slide 300 provides further guidance, and when the strip package reaches the appropriate position, the cylinder 1000 drives the push plate structure 1100, the push plate 1110 pushes the strip package with optimized angle and force, and the flow channel plate 900 guides the strip package to complete the posture transformation from flat to vertical. Throughout the process, each bracket and adjusting block 800 ensures that the system remains in the best working condition.

[0033] The innovative technological benefits of this flat-to-vertical packing mechanism are manifested in simplified manufacturing, convenient adjustment, improved operational stability, convenient maintenance and cleaning, and enhanced adaptability. Through the modular design of the chute system, the adjustable support system, the inclined packing pusher structure, and the optimized flow channel plate design, its innovative features have been successfully realized. This solves the problems of structural complexity, difficult processing, inconvenient maintenance, complex adjustment, and insufficient stability inherent in traditional vertical packing structures, significantly improving the practicality and economy of the equipment.

[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, but this utility model is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made to this utility model as long as they do not depart from its spirit.
