Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically to a flexible rod-shaped material transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the current technology, the conveying of flexible rod-shaped materials, such as mushroom logs for edible fungi, is mainly carried out manually. This is because when relying on automated equipment for handling, the materials may roll around arbitrarily, leading to problems such as inaccurate positioning and unstable stopping during the conveying process, making the material conveying inconvenient. At the same time, since mushroom logs for edible fungi require perforations and adhesive tape, arbitrary rolling will affect subsequent processing procedures. Therefore, there is currently no good automated handling equipment for this type of flexible rod-shaped material. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a flexible rod-shaped material transfer mechanism, which can maintain the stability of the material during the handling of flexible rod-shaped materials.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible rod-shaped material transfer mechanism, including a conveyor belt and a discharge platform, wherein the conveyor belt and the discharge platform are staggered vertically, and a transfer component is provided between the conveyor belt and the discharge platform. The transfer component includes a lifting plate, a pressure plate, and a pushing plate. The lifting plate moves the material from the conveyor belt to the discharge platform in the height direction. The pressure plate is positioned opposite the lifting plate. When the lifting plate moves to the discharge platform, the lifting plate and the pressure plate flatten the material. The pushing plate is used to push the flattened material onto the discharge platform.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of push blocks are provided on the conveyor belt body, and a space for accommodating materials is provided between the plurality of push blocks.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the conveyor belt has support plates on both sides for supporting materials, the support plates have notches at the outlet of the conveyor belt, and the lifting plate is disposed at the notches.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the pressure plate includes an extension section extending in the pushing direction of the push plate, the extension section extending above the discharge platform.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the discharge platform is provided with a discharge mechanism in a second direction relative to the pushing direction of the pusher plate, and the discharge mechanism pushes the material on the discharge platform to the outside.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the discharge mechanism includes a crossbeam, a linear track and a discharge push plate, the crossbeam moves on the linear track, the linear track is fixedly installed on the discharge platform, and the discharge push plate is lifted and lowered on the crossbeam.

[0010] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This utility model is equipped with a transfer component, which includes a lifting plate and a pressure plate. When transferring materials, the lifting plate and the pressure plate can flatten the flexible rod-shaped material. After flattening, when the material is pushed, the bottom surface of the material becomes flat, so the material will not roll around randomly and can stop more stably. The orientation in the circumferential direction is also kept stable, realizing the stable and automated handling and transfer of flexible rod-shaped materials. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] This embodiment discloses a flexible rod-shaped material transfer mechanism, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the system includes a conveyor belt 1 and a discharge platform 2, which are staggered vertically. A transfer component 3 is positioned between the conveyor belt 1 and the discharge platform 2. The transfer component 3 includes a lifting plate 301, a pressure plate 302, and a pushing plate 303. The lifting plate 301 moves the material from the conveyor belt 1 to the discharge platform 2 in the vertical direction. The pressure plate 302 is positioned opposite the lifting plate 301. When the lifting plate 301 moves to the discharge platform 2, the lifting plate 301 and the pressure plate 302 flatten the material. The pushing plate 303 pushes the flattened material onto the discharge platform 2. Through this structure, the height difference between the conveyor belt 1 and the discharge platform 2 provides sufficient space for the lifting plate 301 to move up and down. Figure 1-2 The discharge platform 2 is located above, and the conveyor belt 1 is located below. Figure 2The lifting plate 301 rises via a cylinder, lifting the material 7 below. Simultaneously, the material collides and is flattened by the pressure plate 302 above. The pushing plate 303, also propelled by a cylinder, pushes the flattened material 7 onto the discharge platform 2. Then, the lifting plate 301 descends again, and the conveyor belt 1 delivers the next material for the lifting plate 301 to lift, continuously repeating this process to transfer the material 7. Because the flattened flexible rod-shaped material 7 has a flat bottom surface, it does not roll randomly when pushed by the pushing plate 303, stopping more stably. This is especially suitable for mushroom sticks, where holes need to be punched and tape applied. Therefore, the holes and tape need to be kept at the top to prevent rolling. This invention is perfectly suited for transferring flexible rod-shaped materials like mushroom sticks. After being flattened and transferred, the flexible rod-shaped material can slowly recover its shape, without affecting its normal use.

[0018] Furthermore, a plurality of push blocks 101 are provided on the belt body of the conveyor belt 1, and a space 4 for accommodating materials is provided between the plurality of push blocks 101. Through the above structure, the space 4 formed by the push blocks 101 is used to constrain the cylindrical materials inside, so that the subsequent conveyor belt 1 can provide materials to the transfer component 3 one by one.

[0019] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 Support plates 5 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 to support the material. The support plates 5 are used to support the material. The support plates 5 have a notch 501 at the exit of the conveyor belt 1. The lifting plate 301 is set at the notch 501. Thus, when the conveyor belt 1 delivers the material to the exit, the material leaves the support plate 5 and enters the notch 501, and then moves onto or falls onto the lifting plate 301, where it is subsequently lifted.

[0020] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 The pressure plate 302 includes an extension section 3021 extending in the pushing direction of the push plate 303, extending above the discharge platform 2. With this structure, each time the push plate 303 pushes a material 7 towards the discharge platform 2, the material moves from directly below the pressure plate 302 to below the extension section 3021. The extension section 3021 maintains pressure with the surface of the discharge platform 2, allowing the flattened material 7 to remain flat for a period of time (the time required for the push plate 303 to push the next material and push the previous material out of the extension section 3021), resulting in better flattening of the material.

[0021] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3The discharge platform 2 is provided with a discharge mechanism 6 in a second direction relative to the pushing direction of the pusher plate 303. In this embodiment, this second direction is preferably perpendicular to the pushing direction of the pusher plate 303. The discharge mechanism 6 pushes the material on the discharge platform 2 outwards. Specifically, the discharge mechanism 6 pushes the material towards... Figure 3 The material is pushed out in the direction indicated by the middle arrow so that an external collection mechanism (not shown in the figure) can collect it.

[0022] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 The discharge mechanism 6 includes a crossbeam 601, a linear track 602, and a discharge pusher plate 603. The crossbeam 601 moves on the linear track 602, which is fixedly installed on the discharge platform 2. The discharge pusher plate 603 is jacked up and down on the crossbeam 601. The linear track 602 is driven by a motor, and the specific structure can be simply a synchronous belt. The slide on the crossbeam 601 is slidably mounted on the track and then connected to the synchronous belt. In this way, the crossbeam 601 can move on the linear track 602, and the discharge pusher plate 603 can move and rise and fall together with the crossbeam 601. The purpose of raising and lowering is to adjust the pushing and abutting position according to different materials. For example, if some materials are relatively high, the discharge pusher plate 603 needs to be raised so that it abuts in the middle position as much as possible to ensure a better pushing effect.

[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
