Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of plastic granulation and sorting equipment, specifically relating to a plastic granule homogenization barrel connection device. Background Technology

[0002] A plastic granulation production line mainly consists of several stages, including extrusion, pelletizing, screening, mixing, and packaging. Extrusion, pelletizing, and screening are completed using a plastic granulator; mixing is done in a homogenizing tank; and packaging is handled by a baling machine. After mixing in the homogenizing tank, the plastic granules are transferred to the baling machine for quantitative packaging, thus achieving efficient assembly line operation.

[0003] In the existing production line layout, the large size and relatively fixed position of the homogenization drums and baling machines make material transfer between them difficult. The current procedure involves first collecting the plastic granules from the designated homogenization drums and then manually transferring them to the baling machine's collection device. This method can only process the material from a single homogenization drum at a time, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also limits the improvement of overall production efficiency.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent application CN223071711U discloses a plastic granule homogenization tank connection device, including at least two homogenization tanks, each with a discharge pipe connected to its discharge end; a baling machine, comprising a collection mechanism and a suction mechanism, one end of which is connected to the collection mechanism; and a connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to the other end of the suction mechanism, and the other end of which is detachably connected to one of the discharge pipes. The suction mechanism draws material to the collection mechanism through the connecting pipe. This application allows for quick switching between the connecting pipe and different homogenization tanks and baling machines, thereby conveying plastic granules from different homogenization tanks to the baling machine. Operation is simple and convenient; different material conveying needs can be met simply by changing the connecting pipe to connect with the discharge pipes of different homogenization tanks, saving time and labor and improving work efficiency. However, manual operation is required when connecting the conveying pipes, resulting in low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] This utility model provides a plastic granule homogenization tank connection device, including a homogenization tank 1, a transfer device 2, and a baling machine 3. The transfer device 2 includes a chassis 4 and a transfer box 5. The chassis 4 is fixedly mounted with the transfer box 5 via a bracket 6.

The chassis 4 is fixedly mounted with a discharge motor 13, and the drive end of the discharge motor 13 is fixedly connected to the screw 12 via a second chain 14. The bracket 6 is fixedly mounted with a front protective shell 15 and a rear protective shell 16. The front protective shell 15 is fixedly mounted with a front laser radar 17, and the rear protective shell 16 is fixedly mounted with a rear laser radar 18. The baling machine 3 is fixedly mounted with a connecting pipe 19. The transfer box 5 is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe 20, which communicates with the guide trough 11. The discharge pipe 20 is fixedly mounted with a first electric valve 21. The homogenization tank 1 is fixedly equipped with a second electric valve 22 and a material camera 23. The front protective shell 15 is fixedly equipped with a front camera 24, and the rear protective shell 16 is fixedly equipped with a rear camera 25. The connecting pipe 19 is fixedly equipped with a horn connector 26.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, this utility model achieves automatic material transfer from the homogenizing tank 1 to the baling machine 3 via the transfer device 2, effectively reducing manual intervention and improving overall processing efficiency. Specifically, the chassis 4 is equipped with an intelligent control module, which, combined with the front and rear laser radars 18, collects environmental data in real time and controls the moving motor 7 to achieve automatic movement and steering, enabling the transfer device 2 to accurately travel to the homogenizing tank 1 and the baling machine 3 workstations. The transfer box 5 is installed on the upper part of the chassis 4 via the bracket 6. During operation, the transfer device 2 first moves to the homogenizing tank 1 workstation and receives the material; after receiving the material, it automatically moves to the baling machine 3, connects the discharge pipe 20 with the connecting pipe 19 of the baling machine 3, and then starts the discharge motor 13, which uses the screw 12 to transport the material through the guide chute 11 to the baling machine 3, thus completing the material transfer process fully automatically and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] The transfer device 2 in this embodiment consists of a chassis 4 and a transfer box 5. The chassis 4 is fixedly supported by a bracket 6. A moving motor 7, a drive wheel 8, and a driven wheel 9 are installed on the chassis 4. The drive end of the moving motor 7 is connected to the drive wheel 8 through a first chain 10 to achieve the overall movement function. The bottom of the transfer box 5 is provided with a guide trough 11, in which a screw 12 is movably installed. A discharge motor 13 is fixed on the chassis 4, and its drive end is connected to the screw 12 through a second chain 14 for driving material conveying. A front protective shell 15 and a rear protective shell 16 are installed on the bracket 6. The front protective shell 15 fixes a front laser radar 17, and the rear protective shell 16 fixes a rear laser radar 18 for real-time monitoring of environmental data. The baler 3 is provided with a connecting pipe 19, and the transfer box 5 is connected to a discharge pipe 20. The discharge pipe 20 is connected to the guide trough 11 and is equipped with a first electric valve 21 to control the material flow.

[0024] During operation, the transfer device 2 automatically navigates to the homogenization tank 1 station via the intelligent control module on the chassis 4 and LiDAR data. The moving motor 7 drives the drive wheel 8 and driven wheel 9, achieving precise steering and positioning through differential control. After receiving the plastic granules from the homogenization tank 1, the transfer box 5 automatically moves to the baling machine 3, connecting the discharge pipe 20 with the connecting pipe 19 of the baling machine 3. Subsequently, the discharge motor 13 starts, driving the screw 12 to rotate, conveying the material from the guide chute 11 through the discharge pipe 20 to the baling machine 3, completing the fully automated material transfer. The entire process requires no manual intervention, effectively improving production line efficiency and solving the problems of cumbersome and inefficient traditional manual transfer operations.

[0025] Example 3:

[0026] In this embodiment, the homogenization tank 1 is fixedly equipped with a second electric valve 22 and a material camera 23. The second electric valve 22 is used to control the output of plastic granules in the homogenization tank 1, ensuring that the material flows into the transfer box 5 of the transfer device 2 as needed. The material camera 23 captures the internal state of the transfer box 5 in real time and uses AI image recognition technology to determine whether the transfer box 5 has reached the full load level, effectively preventing material overflow or underloading, and ensuring the stability and safety of the transfer process.

[0027] During automated operation, the transfer device 2 is driven by the mobile motor 7 and drive wheels 8 on the chassis 4, and autonomously navigates to the homogenization tank 1 station using environmental perception combined with front and rear lidar 18. Once the transfer device 2 is in place, the second electric valve 22 of the homogenization tank 1 opens, and the material flows into the transfer box 5. The material camera 23 continuously monitors the loading status, and once a full load is detected, it sends a signal to close the second electric valve 22 and stop feeding.

[0028] Subsequently, the transfer device 2 automatically moves to the position of the packaging machine 3, precisely connecting the discharge pipe 20 with the connecting pipe 19 of the packaging machine 3. The discharge motor 13 starts, and the screw 12 conveys the material in the transfer box 5 to the packaging machine 3 via the guide chute 11, completing the packaging process. The entire embodiment is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention, significantly improving the transfer efficiency of plastic granules from the homogenization tank 1 to the packaging machine 3, and optimizing the overall performance of the production line.

[0029] Example 4:

[0030] In this embodiment, the transfer device 2 has a transfer box 5 fixedly mounted on a chassis 4 via a bracket 6. The chassis 4 is equipped with a moving motor 7, a drive wheel 8, and a driven wheel 9. The moving motor 7 drives the drive wheel 8 via a first chain 10 to achieve movement and steering. The bottom of the transfer box 5 is provided with a material guide trough 11, in which a screw 12 is movably mounted. The chassis 4 is fixed with a discharge motor 13, which is connected to the screw 12 via a second chain 14, driving the screw 12 to rotate and transport materials. A front protective shell 15 and a rear protective shell 16 are fixed on the bracket 6. A front lidar 17 is mounted on the front protective shell 15, and a rear lidar 18 is mounted on the rear protective shell 16, used to collect environmental information and assist the intelligent control module in path planning and movement decision-making.

[0031] In this embodiment, a front camera 24 is fixedly mounted on the front housing 15, and a rear camera 25 is fixedly mounted on the rear housing 16. The front camera 24 and the rear camera 25 work in conjunction with the front lidar 17 and the rear lidar 18, respectively, to supplement the shortcomings of lidar in visual recognition and solve the problems of path discrimination and obstacle recognition in complex environments. By fusing image data collected by the cameras with lidar data, the intelligent control module can more accurately determine the relative position between the transfer device 2, the homogenizing barrel 1, and the packing machine 3, improving docking accuracy and movement efficiency.

[0032] The transfer device 2 first automatically moves to the homogenization tank 1 station to receive the plastic granules; then it proceeds to the baling machine 3, accurately connecting the discharge pipe 20 of the transfer box 5 with the docking pipe 19 of the baling machine 3. After the discharge motor 13 starts, the screw 12 transports the material from the guide chute 11 through the discharge pipe 20 to the baling machine 3, completing the automatic transfer process. The introduction of front and rear cameras 25 further optimizes the decision-making capabilities of the intelligent control module, making the device more efficient and precise during movement and docking, effectively improving the overall automation level of the production line.

[0033] Example 5:

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 19 is fixedly equipped with a flared connector 26. The flared connector 26 is designed with an flared shape, with its larger diameter end facing outwards, facilitating the quick and accurate insertion and connection of the discharge pipe 20 of the transfer device 2 during the docking process. When the transfer device 2 automatically moves to the station of the packaging machine 3, the discharge pipe 20, guided by the control system, smoothly engages with the flared connector 26, establishing a stable material conveying channel without manual intervention. This structure effectively avoids the cumbersome operation of traditional manual docking, significantly improving connection efficiency and automation level.

[0035] During material transfer, the smooth transition of the inner wall of the flared connector 26 guides the plastic granules smoothly into the baler 3, reducing material residue and the risk of blockage. Simultaneously, its flared design also provides a degree of error tolerance; even if there is a slight deviation in the discharge pipe 20 during docking, it can be automatically corrected by the guiding action of the flared connector 26, ensuring a tight and reliable connection. This embodiment fully demonstrates the efficiency and practicality of the connecting device in an automated production line.

[0036] By adopting the horn connector 26 structure, this embodiment further optimizes the material transfer process between the homogenization tank 1 and the packaging machine 3. After receiving material from the homogenization tank 1, the transfer device 2 can autonomously navigate to the packaging machine 3 and use the horn connector 26 to quickly connect the discharge pipe 20. Subsequently, the discharge motor 13 drives the screw 12 to transport the plastic granules in the transfer box 5 to the packaging machine 3 through the guide chute 11 and the discharge pipe 20. The entire process requires no manual intervention, greatly improving production efficiency and automation.
