Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gasket packaging technology, specifically to a gasket sorting and packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of square gaskets, after the powder coating process, the sorting and packaging stages are crucial for connecting subsequent warehousing, transportation, and customer delivery. Currently, our company still mainly relies on the traditional manual sorting and packaging method for the processing of powder-coated square gaskets. This method can basically meet the needs when the production scale is small, but with the continuous growth of market orders and the continuous compression of product delivery cycles, its inherent drawbacks have become the core bottleneck restricting the improvement of production efficiency and cost control.

[0003] Specifically, the manual sorting and packaging process involves several tedious steps: First, workers need to collect the scattered square gaskets one by one from the discharge area of ​​the powder coating production line; then, the separated gaskets need to be manually stacked and arranged; finally, the stacked gaskets are strung together with wire to secure them.

[0004] From a human resource perspective, this model requires a significant investment of manpower: a single production line requires five workers per shift specifically responsible for collecting, stacking, and stringing iron wires. Furthermore, due to the repetitive nature of the processes and the high intensity of labor, workers are prone to fatigue. When order volumes surge, it is often necessary to cope by extending working hours and temporarily hiring additional workers, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a gasket sorting and packaging device to solve the technical problem of high labor intensity in gasket packaging in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the gasket sorting and packaging equipment provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a hopper for storing gaskets;

[0007] The lifting mechanism is used to lift the pads in the hopper to the vibratory feeder. The lifting mechanism is fixedly installed inside the hopper, and its lower end extends to the bottom of the hopper.

[0008] A vibratory feeder is used to arrange pads. The discharge port of the lifting mechanism extends to the feed port of the vibratory feeder, so that the pads lifted by the lifting mechanism fall into the vibratory feeder.

[0009] The receiving mechanism is located at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder and is used to receive the pads. The receiving mechanism includes a rotatable receiving plate with several receiving rods distributed on the upper edge of the receiving plate.

[0010] As a further improvement, the hopper has a conical structure to facilitate the collection of pads.

[0011] As a further improvement, the side wall of the hopper near the vibratory feeder is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating the lifting mechanism to avoid dead angles.

[0012] As a further improvement, a noise reduction box is provided on the outside of the vibratory plate, and sound insulation cotton is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the noise reduction box.

[0013] As a further improvement, an automatic counter for counting is installed at the discharge port of the vibratory feeder.

[0014] As a further improvement, the receiving mechanism also includes a frame located below the receiving tray, the receiving tray being rotatably mounted on the frame, and a drive mechanism for driving the receiving tray to rotate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame.

[0015] As a further improvement, the drive mechanism is a cam divider.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model sets up a conical hopper and opens an installation groove in the hopper so that the upper surface of the lifting mechanism is flush with the inner wall of the hopper. In this way, there are basically no dead corners in the hopper, and the gaskets entering the hopper can smoothly enter the lifting mechanism, ensuring smooth operation of the equipment.

[0018] 2. The vibratory feeder neatly arranges the disordered pads and, through the receiving mechanism, makes the neat pads stacked neatly, improving the degree of automation and reducing labor intensity.

[0019] 3. This utility model realizes automatic feeding, automatic sorting, automatic counting, and automatic collection of gaskets, increasing the production capacity from about 15,000 pieces per shift to about 36,000 pieces, which is nearly 140% higher. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] In existing technologies, the packaging of square gaskets has always been a relatively labor-intensive process. Currently, it still mainly relies on traditional manual sorting and packaging methods, which are inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0026] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to automate the processes of gasket feeding, sorting, counting, and collection, thereby reducing labor intensity. Specifically:

[0027] First, the hopper was improved by adopting a conical structure inside, which facilitates the accumulation of gaskets. An installation groove was opened on the inner wall of the hopper, and the lifting mechanism was set in the installation groove. The lifting surface of the lifting mechanism is flush with the inner wall of the hopper, which effectively solves the problem of automatic gasket feeding. The entire feeding process does not require manual intervention, thus avoiding accidents.

[0028] Secondly, the sorting process utilizes a relatively mature vibratory feeder to arrange the disordered pads, eliminating the need for manual arrangement. The vibratory feeder, in conjunction with the sorting channel, arranges the disordered pads one by one in a specific order. Pads that do not conform to the sorting rules fall back into the vibratory feeder's hopper for the next round of sorting. This process is repeated until all pads flow into the next process in the desired configuration. To address noise issues, a noise reduction box is installed outside the vibratory feeder to prevent excessive noise.

[0029] The automatic counter facilitates counting; the gasket passes through the automatic counter, and the system counts once.

[0030] The receiving process involves receiving gaskets via a receiving rod and automatically switching workstations by rotating the receiving tray. Finally, the gaskets are manually strung together in strings of 200.

[0031] After introducing the basic principles of this utility model, various non-limiting embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Any quantity of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0032] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0033] Example 1 of the gasket sorting and packaging device provided by this utility model:

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the gasket sorting and packaging equipment includes a hopper 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a vibrating plate 3, and a receiving mechanism.

[0035] The hopper 1 is used to store gaskets; the powder-coated square gaskets are discharged into the hopper 1 via a conveyor belt or transfer vehicle. The hopper 1 has a conical structure to facilitate the collection of gaskets. The side wall of the hopper 1 near the vibrating plate 3 has an installation groove for accommodating the lifting mechanism 2 to avoid dead corners.

[0036] In addition, a full sensor is installed in hopper 1 to control the start and stop of the elevator, thereby ensuring the continuity and timeliness of material supply.

[0037] The lifting mechanism 2 is used to lift the pads in the hopper 1 to the vibratory feeder 3. The lifting mechanism 2 is fixedly installed inside the hopper 1, with its lower end extending to the bottom of the hopper 1 and its outlet extending to the inlet of the vibratory feeder 3, so that the pads lifted by the lifting mechanism 2 fall into the vibratory feeder 3. The lifting mechanism 2 is driven by a motor or other means, and uses a chain plate to continuously lift the pads from the hopper 1 to the vibratory feeder 3.

[0038] Vibratory feeder 3 is used to arrange the pads. Vibratory feeder 3 is existing technology and has not been improved in this embodiment. Its structure will not be described in detail here. When working, vibratory feeder 3 works with sorting channel to arrange disordered pads one by one in a specific order. Those that do not conform to the sorting rules fall back into vibratory feeder 3 hopper 1 to enter the next round of sorting. This process is repeated so that all pads can flow into the next process in the desired posture.

[0039] A noise reduction box is provided on the outside of the vibrating plate 3, and sound insulation cotton 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the noise reduction box to reduce the noise generated by the vibrating plate 3.

[0040] An automatic counter for counting is installed at the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 3.

[0041] A receiving mechanism is located at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 3 to receive the pads. The receiving mechanism includes a rotatable receiving tray 6 and a frame located below the receiving tray 6. The receiving tray 6 is rotatably mounted on the frame. A drive mechanism for driving the receiving tray 6 to rotate is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism is a cam divider. Several receiving rods 5 are distributed on the upper edge of the receiving tray 6. The receiving mechanism has eight stations, each storing 100 pads. A full sensor is provided, and the station is automatically switched when the station is full.

[0042] Both the frame and the bottom of the hopper are equipped with casters for easy movement, and the casters have built-in brake pads.

[0043] When stringing, the confirmation button needs to be pressed manually before it can be carried out. The operator uses wire to string the pads together, with 200 pads strung together.

[0044] While this specification has shown and described numerous embodiments of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Many modifications, alterations, and alternatives will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and intent of the present invention.
