Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bag sorting machines, specifically to a spout bag sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Spout pouches, as a new type of flexible packaging container, have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to food, daily chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, due to their convenient opening and sealing performance, lightweight design, and suitability for automated filling. With the increasing demand for spout pouch packaging, the "bag sorting" process (i.e., sorting, counting, and orienting finished spout pouches) in the post-production processing has become a key factor restricting the efficiency of packaging automation.

[0003] Currently, spout bag sorting is mainly done manually or semi-mechanized. Manual sorting typically involves placing spout bags one by one onto a receiving conveyor belt, creating a stacked arrangement. Semi-mechanized sorting primarily uses a combination of mechanical and pneumatic methods, with a basic structure including a conveyor mechanism, a pushing mechanism, positioning conveyors, and a control unit. The conveyor mechanism transports the spout bags to the pushing station via a conveyor belt; the pushing mechanism then pushes the spout bags from the conveyor belt to the positioning conveyor belt, completing the unloading of one set of spout bags. Finally, the positioning conveyor belt with the unloaded spout bags is manually removed, and the spout bags from the two sets of positioning conveyors are then manually cross-combined, creating an alternating stack of spout bags on the two sets of positioning conveyors.

[0004] However, existing bag sorting machines have the following significant drawbacks: Existing spout bag sorting is usually done manually or semi-automatically. Purely manual bag sorting requires multiple processes such as bag picking, filling, and sorting, resulting in low overall bag sorting efficiency. Semi-automatic equipment can replace manual bag picking and filling, but manual sorting is still required afterward to alternately stack the two sets of spout bags to complete the subsequent packaging. The semi-automatic bag sorting method still suffers from high labor intensity and low sorting efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency spout bag sorting machine to improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned defects and provide a spout bag sorting machine to solve the technical problem of how to improve the automated sorting of spout bags, thereby improving the production efficiency of the sorting method and reducing the labor intensity of manual labor.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:

[0007] The spout bag sorting machine includes a cabinet and a worktable set on the cabinet. One side of the worktable has a feeding end for receiving incoming materials. The worktable is equipped with a material guiding mechanism for receiving materials, a bag feeding device for feeding spout bags, a material belt installation mechanism for feeding belts, and a bag sorting device for collecting spout bags.

[0008] The bag feeding device includes a rotatable rotating table and several sets of bag clamping assemblies set on the rotating table. The bag clamping assemblies can be used to clamp the spout bags and can be rotated and adjusted while clamping the spout bags. The rotating table is mounted on the workbench via a vertical frame, and the rotating table is provided with a receiving station and a feeding station that are respectively connected to the material guiding mechanism and the bag feeding mechanism. The rotation of the rotating table can drive the bag clamping assemblies to rotate and switch sequentially along the receiving station and the feeding station.

[0009] The bag sorting device includes a moving module, a lifting module, and two sets of receiving racks. The lifting module is vertically mounted on the moving module, and the two sets of receiving racks are mounted opposite to each other on the lifting module. The lifting module can drive the two sets of receiving racks to move closer or further apart. The receiving racks can detachably hold several material strips for collecting spout bags by clamping drive components. The bag clamping assembly at the loading station can sequentially and alternately stack spout bags onto the two sets of receiving racks.

[0010] The material strip installation mechanism includes a moving component, a lifting component, a first material strip installation plate, and a second material strip installation plate. The lifting component is vertically mounted on the moving component and is connected to the first and second material strip installation plates via a lifting plate. The first and second material strip installation plates are arranged vertically and parallel to each other, and several material strips are detachably placed on the first and second material strip installation plates. The second material strip installation plate can be flipped by a rotating component, so that the openings of the material strips installed on the first and second material strip installation plates are opposite to each other. The moving component can drive the lifting component to move the first and second material strip installation plates outward synchronously.

[0011] Further, as described above, the material guiding mechanism includes an upright plate, a material guiding frame, and a material dispensing frame. The material guiding frame is mounted on the upright plate and has a material guiding channel for conveying the nozzle bags. One end of the material guiding channel extends towards the receiving station, and the other end extends outward. A lifting drive is connected to the side of the upright plate. The driving end of the lifting drive is connected to the material dispensing frame through a material dispensing drive. The moving direction of the material dispensing drive extends horizontally to the receiving station. A material dispensing part extending towards the material guiding channel is formed on the material dispensing frame. The lifting drive can drive the material dispensing frame to rise, and the material dispensing drive can drive the material dispensing frame to move along the material guiding channel towards the receiving station.

[0012] The material guiding mechanism, through the combination of a vertical plate, a material guide frame, and a material feeding frame, achieves automatic transfer and precise feeding of spout bags. The material guide frame's guiding channel guides the orderly transfer of spout bags, while the material feeding frame, driven by the coordinated lifting and feeding drives, automatically feeds the spout bags from the material guide channel to the receiving station. Simultaneously, the precise control of the mechanical feeding improves the continuity and stability of spout bag feeding, laying the foundation for subsequent automated bag sorting.

[0013] Furthermore, as described above, a material-blocking drive component is provided on the side of the upright plate near the material receiving station, and the telescopic end of the material-blocking drive component is connected to a material-blocking plate for blocking the material guide channel from communicating with the material receiving station.

[0014] The material-stopping drive unit on the side of the upright plate controls the connection between the material guide channel and the receiving station via a material-stopping plate. When receiving is not required, the material-stopping plate blocks the material guide channel to prevent the nozzle bags from accidentally entering the receiving station, avoiding chaos or equipment jamming caused by the accumulation of nozzle bags. When receiving is required, the material-stopping plate opens to ensure that the nozzle bags enter the receiving station as needed. By precisely controlling the feeding rhythm, the reliability and automation of equipment operation are improved, and the need for manual intervention is reduced.

[0015] Furthermore, as described above, the support frame is equipped with a rotary drive component capable of driving the rotary table to rotate.

[0016] The rotating drive unit on the upright can drive the rotary table to rotate, causing the bag clamping assembly to switch sequentially between the receiving station and the loading station. Through the continuous rotation of the rotary table, the bag clamping assembly can alternately complete the receiving and loading actions, realizing the coordinated operation of receiving and loading. This allows it to complete the receiving and loading actions simultaneously, avoiding the efficiency loss caused by waiting at a single station, and significantly improving the equipment's operating cycle time and overall bag sorting efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, as described above, the bag clamping assembly includes a bag clamping moving part, a moving plate, and a rotary clamping cylinder disposed on the moving plate. The moving plate is mounted on the rotating table via the bag clamping moving part. The bag clamping moving part can drive the moving plate to move the rotary clamping cylinder. The clamping end of the rotary clamping cylinder extends outward from the rotating table and is connected to a gripper for mate-clamping the spout bag.

[0018] The bag-clamping movement component allows adjustment of the position of the rotary clamping cylinder to adapt to different material receiving needs. The rotary clamping cylinder itself is rotatable, enabling adjustment of the clamping angle of the spout bags to ensure stable posture during material receiving and loading. Simultaneously, after placing one layer of spout bags on the lower receiving rack, the rotation of the rotary clamping cylinder places another layer on the upper receiving rack. This alternating stacking of spout bags replaces manual bag handling and sorting, reducing labor intensity and improving operational accuracy and efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, as described above, the movable plate is equipped with two sets of rotary clamping cylinders, with a gap between the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders. The movable plate is connected to the rotary clamping cylinders via an adjusting drive component, allowing the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders to be adjusted to be relatively closer or further apart.

[0020] The two sets of rotary clamping cylinders on the moving plate can be adjusted to move closer or further apart via the drive mechanism, accommodating spout bags of different widths. By adjusting the spacing between the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders, different specifications of spout bags can be flexibly matched, and with the material belt, two spout bags can be fed simultaneously, improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability, and further enhancing the overall bag handling efficiency.

[0021] Further, as described above, the moving component includes a connecting plate and a feeding moving part. The feeding moving part is mounted on the worktable via the connecting plate, and its moving direction extends outward along the worktable. The moving end of the feeding moving part is connected to the lifting component via a support plate. The lifting component includes a lifting drive component, which is vertically mounted on the support plate. The moving end of the lifting drive component is connected to the lifting plate. A first material belt mounting plate and a second material belt mounting plate are connected to the lifting plate, and both extend towards the bag sorting device. A rotating component is mounted on the side of the lifting plate, and its rotating end is connected to the second material belt mounting plate.

[0022] The moving component drives the lifting component to move outward via the feeding moving part. Combined with the lifting drive part's control over the raising and lowering of the first and second material belt mounting plates, the material belt on the material belt mounting mechanism can be automatically conveyed to the receiving rack of the bag sorting device. This achieves automatic feeding and position transfer of the material belt, replacing manual material belt handling and reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the precise control of mechanical movement ensures accurate docking of the material belt with the receiving rack, providing automated support for the subsequent stacking and sorting of spout bags.

[0023] Furthermore, as described above, the receiving rack consists of a receiving plate and two clamping plates disposed on both sides of the receiving plate. The lifting module is connected to the receiving plate via a sliding seat. The receiving rack is connected to the clamping plates via a clamping drive component. The two clamping plates are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the receiving rack, and a clamping gap for clamping the material bag is formed between the two clamping plates. This allows the two clamping plates to open and close by being driven by the clamping drive component, so that the two sets of receiving racks can be used to clamp the material strips arranged on the first material strip mounting plate and the second material strip mounting plate, respectively.

[0024] The receiving rack consists of a receiving plate and clamping plates on both sides. The clamping plates can be opened and closed to hold the material strip via a clamping drive. The two sets of receiving racks can respectively clamp the material strip on the first material strip mounting plate and the second material strip mounting plate. This allows for rapid material strip loading, improves the standardization and efficiency of spout bag sorting, and provides an orderly material strip structure for subsequent spout bag sorting.

[0025] Furthermore, as described above, the material belt installation mechanism and the bag sorting device are paired in two sets, such that each set of material belt installation mechanism is paired with a set of bag sorting devices. Two opposite loading positions for loading / unloading material belts are provided on both sides of the workbench, and the two sets of material belt installation mechanisms are paired with the two loading positions respectively.

[0026] Two sets of paired conveyor belt installation mechanisms and bag sorting devices are installed on both sides of the workbench, each corresponding to one of the two feeding positions, enabling double-sided feeding and bag sorting. Once bag sorting is completed on one side, bag sorting on the other side can begin. Meanwhile, manual unloading can be performed on the side where bag sorting is complete, in conjunction with the conveyor belt installation mechanism for conveyor belt feeding, while waiting for bag sorting on the other side to finish. This process repeats with the two sets of conveyor belt installation mechanisms and bag sorting devices, improving the continuity of the equipment and the overall bag sorting efficiency, further reducing manual labor intensity, and meeting the demands of high-capacity production.

[0027] Furthermore, as described above, the workbench is equipped with a protective cover, the side of the protective cover near the feeding end has a material inlet, and the side of the protective cover has a feeding opening for matching the feeding position.

[0028] The protective cover installed on the workbench covers the internal mechanism to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering, improving the stability and safety of equipment operation. The material inlet and outlet on the side of the protective cover correspond to the feeding end and feeding position, respectively, ensuring the closed protection of the internal mechanism while facilitating the loading and unloading of suction bags and conveyor belts. This balances protection and operational convenience, enhancing the overall practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The first and second material belt mounting plates are arranged parallel to each other, with the second material belt mounting plate rotated by a rotating component, causing the openings of the material belts on the first and second material belt mounting plates to face each other. Combined with the receiving rack of the bag-sorting device, the material belts can be quickly clamped and picked up. The bag-sorting device drives the lifting module to move horizontally via a moving module, and the lifting module drives the two sets of opposite receiving racks to move vertically and adjust their spacing. The bag-clamping components at the loading station alternately stack spout bags onto the two sets of receiving racks, automatically completing the sorting and storage of spout bags. The rotating table is used to set up receiving and loading stations, allowing multiple bag-clamping components to rotate with the rotating table, automatically switching between the receiving and loading stations. This replaces manual bag picking, filling, and sorting processes, achieving efficient and precise stacking of spout bags and automating the flow of spout bags from receiving to loading, thereby improving bag-sorting efficiency and overall production efficiency.

[0052] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the following describes the solution in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-15 The specific implementation of the spout bag sorting machine includes a cabinet 100 and a workbench 200 set on the cabinet 100. One side of the workbench 200 has a feeding end for receiving incoming materials. The workbench 200 is equipped with a material guiding mechanism 300 for receiving materials, a bag feeding device 400 for feeding spout bags, a material belt installation mechanism 500 for feeding belts, and a bag sorting device 600 for storing spout bags. The material guiding mechanism 300, the bag feeding device 400, the material belt installation mechanism 500 and the bag sorting device 600 work together to form a fully automated bag sorting process from receiving materials, feeding bags, feeding belts, bag sorting and unloading, thereby improving the automation level of spout bag sorting.

[0055] Reference Figures 6-8 The bag feeding device 400 includes a rotatable rotating table 401 and several sets of bag clamping assemblies 402 disposed on the rotating table 401. The bag clamping assemblies 402 can be used to clamp the spout bags and can be rotated and adjusted while clamping the spout bags. The rotating table 401 is mounted on the workbench 200 via a stand 405. The rotating table 401 is provided with a receiving station and a feeding station that are respectively connected to the material guiding mechanism 300 and the bag sorting mechanism. The rotation of the rotating table 401 can drive the bag clamping assemblies 402 to rotate and switch sequentially along the receiving station and the feeding station.

[0056] The upright frame 405 is equipped with a rotary drive component 406 that can drive the rotary table 401 to rotate. The rotary drive component 406 on the upright frame 405 can drive the rotary table 401 to rotate, thereby causing the bag clamping assembly 402 to switch between the receiving station and the loading station in sequence.

[0057] The bag clamping assembly 402 includes a bag clamping moving part 4021, a moving plate 4022, and a rotary clamping cylinder 4023 disposed on the moving plate 4022. The moving plate 4022 is mounted on the rotating table 401 via the bag clamping moving part 4021. The bag clamping moving part 4021 can drive the moving plate 4022 to move the rotary clamping cylinder 4023. The clamping end of the rotary clamping cylinder 4023 extends outward from the rotating table 401 and is connected to a gripper 403 for pairing and clamping the spout bag.

[0058] Reference Figures 7-8 The movable plate 4022 is provided with two sets of rotary clamping cylinders 4023, and there is a gap between the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders 4023. The movable plate 4022 is connected to the rotary clamping cylinders 4023 through the adjustment drive 404, so that the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders 4023 can be adjusted to be relatively closer or further apart.

[0059] The two sets of rotary clamping cylinders 4023 on the movable plate 4022 can be adjusted to be closer or further apart by adjusting the drive component 404, which can accommodate suction bags of different widths. By adjusting the distance between the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders 4023, different specifications of suction bags can be flexibly matched, and with the material belt 700, two suction bags can be fed at the same time, which improves the versatility and adaptability of the equipment and further enhances the overall bag handling efficiency.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the bag-clamping moving component 4021 and the adjusting drive component 404 are composed of cylinders. The bag-clamping moving cylinder and the drive can push the suction bag held on the gripper 403 along the material belt, so that the suction bags can be arranged. By adjusting the setting of the drive component 404, the distance between the two sets of rotating clamping cylinders 4023 can be adjusted, so that the two sets of rotating clamping cylinders 4023 can simultaneously clamp two suction bags for receiving materials and feeding materials onto the material belt.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, 10 material strips 700 are connected to both the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504. For example, the material strips are ordered from 1 to 10, and the two sets of rotary clamping cylinders 4023 complete the feeding of each material strip by first feeding 1 and 6; second feeding 2 and 7; third feeding 3 and 8; fourth feeding 4 and 9 and fifth feeding 5 and 10.

[0062] Reference Figures 9-11 The bag sorting device 600 includes a moving module 601, a lifting module 602, and two sets of receiving racks 603. The lifting module 602 is vertically mounted on the moving module 601, and the two sets of receiving racks 603 are mounted opposite to each other on the lifting module 602. The lifting module 602 can drive the two sets of receiving racks 603 to move closer or further apart. The receiving racks 603 are detachably clamped with a number of material strips 700 for storing spout bags by a clamping drive 604. The bag clamping assembly 402 at the loading station can alternately stack spout bags onto the two sets of receiving racks 603.

[0063] The receiving rack 603 consists of a receiving plate 6031 and two clamping plates 6032 disposed on both sides of the receiving plate 6031. The lifting module 602 is connected to the receiving plate 6031 through a sliding seat 605. The receiving rack 603 is connected to the clamping plates 6032 through a clamping drive 604. The two clamping plates 6032 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the receiving rack 603, and a clamping gap for clamping the material bag is formed between the two clamping plates 6032, so that the two clamping plates 6032 can perform opening and closing clamping actions by being driven by the clamping drive 604. The two sets of receiving racks 603 can be used to clamp the material strips arranged on the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504, respectively.

[0064] Specifically, the moving module 601 and the lifting module 602 are composed of a belt drive module or a screw drive module. The screw or belt drive of the moving module 601 and the lifting module 602 is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art, and the specific structure will not be described here.

[0065] Specifically, the lifting module 602 in this embodiment consists of two components, and each lifting module 602 can independently control a set of receiving racks 603 to rise or fall, thereby ensuring that the receiving racks 603 clamp the material strip to the material strip installation mechanism 500.

[0066] Specifically, the clamping drive 604 is composed of a clamping cylinder, which can drive the clamping plate 6032 to open or close. When it is open, it can cooperate with the material belt installation mechanism 500 to clamp the material belt. When it is open and the clamping force of the material belt is released, the material can be picked up by a person or a robot.

[0067] Reference Figures 12-14 The material strip mounting mechanism 500 includes a moving component 501, a lifting component, a first material strip mounting plate 503, and a second material strip mounting plate 504. The lifting component is vertically mounted on the moving component 501 and is connected to the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504 via a lifting plate 505. The first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504 are arranged vertically and parallel to each other. Several material strips are detachably placed on the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504. The second material strip mounting plate 504 can be flipped by the drive of the rotating component 506 so that the openings of the material strips mounted on the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504 are arranged opposite each other. The moving component 501 can drive the lifting component to move the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504 outwards synchronously.

[0068] The moving component 501 includes a connecting plate 5011 and a feeding moving component 5012. The feeding moving component 5012 is mounted on the worktable 200 via the connecting plate 5011, and the moving direction of the feeding moving component 5012 extends outward along the worktable 200. The moving end of the feeding moving component 5012 is connected to the lifting component via a support plate 507. The lifting component includes a lifting drive component 502, which is vertically mounted on the support plate 507. The moving end of the lifting drive component 502 is connected to the lifting plate 505. The first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 are connected to the lifting plate 505, and the first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 extend toward the bag sorting device 600. The rotating component 506 is mounted on the side of the lifting plate 505, and the rotating end of the rotating component 506 is connected to the second material belt mounting plate 504.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the feeding moving part 5012 and the lifting driving part 502 are composed of cylinders. The feeding cylinder can drive the support plate 507 to move closer to or away from the feeding opening 103. The lifting rod can drive the lifting plate 505 to drive the first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 to lift as a whole, so as to cooperate with the manual or robotic arm to feed the material belt.

[0070] Specifically, both ends of the first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 are detachably connected to a limiting plate 508 for pairing and snapping the material belts. The limiting plate 508 has multiple snap-fit ​​positions 509 for snapping and limiting the material belts. In some embodiments, since the specifications of the spout bags are different, it is necessary to set up multiple material belts for pairing the spout bags. By setting the limiting plate 508 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​positions 509 of different material belts, the limiting plate 508 corresponding to the spout bag can be replaced, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of use for different spout bags.

[0071] Specifically, the second material strip mounting plate 504 is provided with clamping and limiting cylinders 510 at both ends. The telescopic end of the clamping and limiting cylinder 510 is connected to a clamping plate 511 for clamping the end of the material strip. The inner side of the clamping plate 511 is formed with a clamping position 512 that matches the material strip, so that the material strip can be prevented from falling off when the rotating member 506 rotates.

[0072] Reference Figures 3-4 The material guiding mechanism 300 includes a vertical plate 301, a material guiding frame 302, and a material feeding frame 303. The material guiding frame 302 is mounted on the vertical plate 301 and has a material guiding channel 304 for conveying the spout bags. One end of the material guiding channel 304 extends toward the receiving station, and the other end extends outward. A lifting drive 305 is connected to the side of the vertical plate 301. The driving end of the lifting drive 305 is connected to the material feeding frame 303 through a material feeding drive 307. The moving direction of the material feeding drive 307 extends horizontally with the receiving station. A feeding part 306 extending toward the material guiding channel 304 is formed on the material feeding frame 303. The lifting drive 305 can drive the material feeding frame 303 to rise, and the material feeding drive 307 can drive the material feeding frame 303 to move along the material guiding channel 304 toward the receiving station.

[0073] A material-blocking drive component 308 is provided on the side of the upright plate 301 near the receiving station. The telescopic end of the material-blocking drive component 308 is connected to a baffle plate 309 for blocking the connection between the material guide channel 304 and the receiving station. The material-blocking drive component 308 on the side of the upright plate 301 can control the connection state between the material guide channel 304 and the receiving station through the baffle plate 309. When receiving is not required, the baffle plate 309 can block the material guide channel 304 to prevent the nozzle bags from accidentally entering the receiving station and avoid confusion or equipment jamming caused by the accumulation of nozzle bags; when receiving is required, the baffle plate 309 opens to ensure that the nozzle bags enter the receiving station as needed. By precisely controlling the feeding rhythm, the reliability and automation of equipment operation are improved, and the need for manual intervention is reduced.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting drive 305, the feeding drive 307, and the blocking drive 308 are all composed of cylinders. The lifting cylinder can drive the feeding cylinder to raise the feeding frame 303, so that the feeding part 306 enters the guide channel 304. The contraction of the feeding cylinder can push the suction bag toward the bag clamping assembly 402 at the receiving station. The blocking cylinder is set so that when the turntable 401 rotates, it can prevent the suction bag from falling from the guide channel 304.

[0075] Specifically, the guide frame 302 consists of two guide blocks and a positioning plate mounted on the guide blocks. The guide channel 304 is formed by the distance between the two guide blocks. The positioning plate is mounted on the guide blocks so that it can be used to hold the opening of the spout bag. In some embodiments, different spout bag sizes can be accommodated by adjusting the distance between the two guide blocks and the two positioning plates.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material belt installation mechanism 500 and the bag sorting device 600 are paired in two sets, so that each set of material belt installation mechanism 500 is paired with a set of bag sorting device 600. The two sides of the workbench 200 are provided with two opposite loading positions for loading / unloading material belts, and the two sets of material belt installation mechanisms 500 are paired with the two loading positions respectively.

[0077] Two sets of paired conveyor belt installation mechanisms 500 and bag sorting devices 600 are installed on both sides of the workbench 200, each corresponding to one of the two feeding positions, enabling double-sided feeding and bag sorting. Once bag sorting is completed on one side, bag sorting can begin on the other side. Meanwhile, manual unloading can be performed on the side where bag sorting is complete, and the conveyor belt installation mechanism 500 can be used to feed the conveyor belt while waiting for bag sorting on the other side to finish. This process repeats between the two sets of conveyor belt installation mechanisms 500 and bag sorting devices 600, improving the continuity of the equipment and the overall bag sorting efficiency, further reducing manual labor intensity, and meeting the demands of high-capacity production.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, a protective cover 101 is provided on the workbench 200. The protective cover 101 has a material inlet 102 on the side near the material feeding end, and a material feeding opening 103 for matching the material feeding position is provided on the side of the protective cover 101.

[0079] The protective cover 101 installed on the workbench 200 covers the internal mechanism to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering, thus improving the stability and safety of the equipment operation. The material inlet 102 and the material loading 103 on the side of the protective cover 101 correspond to the loading end and the loading position, respectively. This ensures the closed protection of the internal mechanism while facilitating the loading and unloading of the suction bags and material belts, thus balancing protection and operational convenience and improving the overall practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0080] The specific usage process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0081] Material feeding: The first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 are arranged parallel to each other vertically and at intervals. The first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 are moved to the material position by the moving component 501 and the lifting component to facilitate the sequential placement of material belts by manual or robotic arms. Specifically, the openings of the material belts extend towards the surface of the worktable 200. When both the first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 have material belts placed on them, the second material belt mounting plate 504 is rotated by the rotating component 506. At this time, the openings of the material belts on the two mounting plates are facing each other, waiting for the bag sorting device 600 to clamp the material belts on the first material belt mounting plate 503 and the second material belt mounting plate 504 respectively through two sets of receiving racks 603.

[0082] The bag-sorting device 600 clamps the material strip: driven by the moving module 601 and the lifting module 602, the two sets of receiving racks 603 respectively clamp the material strips on the first material strip mounting plate 503 and the second material strip mounting plate 504. The lifting module 602 drives the two sets of opposite receiving racks 603 to rise and fall vertically and adjust the spacing. The movement of the moving module 601 makes the material strip on the receiving rack 603 flush with the feeding station, so as to wait for the bag clamping assembly 402 of the feeding station to feed the material.

[0083] Adding the spout bag: Connect the material guide channel 304 to the external spout bag conveyor belt so that the conveyor belt can transport the spout bag into the material guide channel 304. At this time, the material feeding drive 307 can drive the material feeding frame 303 to guide the spout bag in the material guide channel 304 into the gripper 403. The spout bag can be clamped by the rotary clamping cylinder 4023. The bag clamping assembly 402 rotates with the rotary table 401 to realize the automatic switching between the receiving station and the feeding station. When entering the feeding station, the rotary clamping cylinder 4023 clamping the spout bag is driven by the bag clamping moving part 4021 to make the spout bag pass through the material belt. Thus, the spout bag is repeatedly fed to the second material belt mounting plate 504.

[0084] Once a layer of nozzle bags has been placed on each of the material strips on the second material strip mounting plate 504, the rotary clamping cylinder 4023 can rotate 180° to extend the opening of the nozzle bags toward the first material strip mounting plate 503. It then repeatedly places another layer of nozzle bags onto the material strip clamped by the first material strip mounting plate 503. The bag clamping assembly 402 at the loading station then alternately stacks the nozzle bags onto the two sets of receiving racks 603, automatically completing the sorting and storage of the nozzle bags. This replaces the manual sorting process, achieving efficient and precise stacking of the nozzle bags and significantly improving sorting efficiency and overall bag handling efficiency.

[0085] This utility model, through the coordinated operation of the material guiding mechanism 300, the bag feeding device 400, the material belt installation mechanism 500, and the bag sorting device 600, can complete a fully automated bag sorting process for spout bags, reduce manual intervention, significantly improve the automation level of spout bag sorting, fundamentally solve the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual or semi-automatic bag sorting, and comprehensively improve production efficiency.

[0086] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
