Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment, specifically a material conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging equipment such as packaging machines and cartoning machines have requirements for the front-to-back orientation and the orientation of the front and back of the materials due to packaging needs. However, the existing material conveying mechanism cannot make the front and back of the materials face the same, requiring manual flipping, which leads to low efficiency and high cost. Therefore, the existing material conveying mechanism needs to be improved to meet production needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a material conveying mechanism that makes the front and back sides of the output material face the same direction, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The material conveying mechanism is characterized in that it includes a first conveying component, a second conveying component, and a flipping component that keeps the front-to-back direction of the material output by the first conveying component unchanged and flips the top and bottom surfaces. The flipping component includes a rotating component and a driving component that drives the rotating component to rotate. The rotating component has a material channel, the material channel has an input end and an output end, the input end is connected to the first conveying component, and the output end is connected to the second conveying component.

[0005] In the process of material conveying, if the orientation of the front and back of the material is incorrect, the drive unit drives the rotating part to rotate vertically by 180 degrees, causing the material to flip over so that the orientation of the front and back of the material is consistent. The flipped material is discharged from the rotating part and enters the second conveying part. In this way, the material output by the second conveying part has the same orientation of the front and back, realizing automatic flipping, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating component is equipped with an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, with a material channel between them, and the two conveyors transport materials synchronously. The material is clamped and conveyed by the upper and lower conveyor belts. When the rotating component rotates vertically, the clamped and conveyed material is flipped during the conveying process, which does not affect the conveying speed and ensures stable flipping, resulting in excellent performance.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating component is rotatably mounted on the machine base; The rotating component is equipped with a first transmission wheel, and the driving component is a motor mounted on a base. A second transmission wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the motor, and a transmission belt is provided on both the first and second transmission wheels. The motor drives the first transmission wheel to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating component to rotate vertically via the transmission belt and the second transmission wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating component is cylindrical and horizontally arranged.

[0009] Preferably, the lower conveyor belt is positioned at the same height as the conveyor platforms of the first and second conveyor components. Consistent conveying heights at both ends facilitate equipment layout, installation, and commissioning, and also make it easier for workers to operate the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the material channel is inclined downwards along the material conveying direction, and the input end of the second conveying component is lower than the output end of the first conveying component. Utilizing the inertia of the first conveying component, the material enters the material channel and, simultaneously, uses its own gravity to automatically move towards the lower discharge end. The material passes through the material channel and automatically enters the second conveying component. The rotation of the rotating component causes the material to rotate, thereby flipping the output material in half. This structure is simpler and has lower equipment costs.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the material channel is adapted to the height of the material; The height of the input end of the material channel is greater than the height of the output end. Ensure that the rotation of the rotating component can cause the material in the material channel to rotate accordingly.

[0012] Preferably, the input end of the material channel is lower than the output end of the first conveying component, and the output end of the material channel is higher than the input end of the second conveying component; the material channel is better connected with the first and second conveying components, so that the material enters the second conveying component stably.

[0013] The second conveying component is equipped with a left baffle and a right baffle to prevent material from falling off the conveying component.

[0014] Preferably, the driving component is a rotary cylinder, which is mounted on the machine base, and the rotating component is connected to the rotary cylinder; The rotation centerline of the rotary cylinder coincides with the centerline of the material channel.

[0015] Preferably, the first conveying component includes a first conveyor belt; The second conveying component includes a second conveyor belt.

[0016] Preferably, the material conveying mechanism also includes a controller and an information collector. The information collector is located on the conveying path of the first conveying component, and both the information collector and the drive component are connected to the controller. The information collector collects material orientation information. If the material is facing in the wrong direction, the controller sends a command to the drive component based on this information, and the drive component drives the rotating component to rotate vertically by 180 degrees. If the material is facing in the correct direction, the rotating component remains stationary, and the material passes through the material channel directly into the second conveying component, thus ensuring that the material is facing in the same direction.

[0023] The following describes the embodiments and related details and working principle of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. This material conveying mechanism includes a first conveying component 1, a second conveying component 2, and a flipping component 3 that keeps the front-to-back direction of the material output from the first conveying component unchanged while flipping its top and bottom surfaces. The flipping component 3 includes a rotating component 31 and a driving component that drives the rotating component to rotate. The rotating component has a material channel 33 with an input end and an output end. The input end is connected to the first conveying component, and the output end is connected to the second conveying component 2. Material is placed on the first conveying component 1 and conveyed from the first conveying component to the second conveying component. During the conveying process, if the orientation of the material is incorrect (e.g., the material is required to be face up and back down, but is instead face down and back up), the material needs to be vertically flipped. The material enters the material channel 33 from the first conveying component 1, and the driving component drives the rotating component 31 to rotate vertically by 180 degrees, flipping the material so that its face is face up and its back is face down. The flipped material is discharged from the rotating component and enters the second conveying component 2, thus ensuring that the orientation of the material output from the second conveying component is uniform. Vertical rotation is not limited to rotation around a horizontal axis, but is based on the angle set by the material channel 33. If the material channel is horizontal, the axis of rotation is horizontal; if the material channel is inclined, the axis of rotation is also inclined. This invention achieves automatic flipping, ensuring that the front and back of the output material face the same direction, greatly improving efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0024] The first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2 are conveyed by conveyor belts, that is, the first conveying component 1 includes a first conveyor belt; the second conveying component 2 includes a second conveyor belt. To prevent materials from falling off the conveyor belts, the first and second conveying components are provided with a left baffle and a right baffle 5, that is, the first and second conveyor belts are provided with a left baffle and a right baffle 5 on both sides to prevent materials from falling off the conveyor belts during the conveying process.

[0025] The material conveying mechanism also includes a controller and an information collector 4. The information collector 4 is located on the conveying path of the first conveying component 1. The information collector 4 and the drive component are both connected to the controller. The information collector can be an image sensor. The information collector 4 collects material orientation information. If the material is facing in the wrong direction, the controller sends a command to the drive component based on this information. The drive component drives the rotating component 31 to rotate 180 degrees vertically. If the material is facing in the correct direction, the rotating component 31 remains stationary, and the material directly enters the second conveying component 2 through the material channel 33. This ensures that the material output from the second conveying component 2 has a uniform orientation.

[0026] The positional relationship between the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2, as well as the structure of the rotating component 31, can be implemented in different ways. The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, illustrates these differences: In Embodiment 1, the rotating component 31 is equipped with an upper conveyor belt 32 and a lower conveyor belt 34, with a material channel 33 between them. The upper and lower conveyor belts 32 and 34 convey materials synchronously. The material is held and conveyed by the upper and lower conveyor belts. When the rotating component 31 rotates vertically, the material being held and conveyed flips during the conveying process, which does not affect the conveying speed and ensures stable flipping, resulting in excellent performance. Because the material is held and conveyed by the upper and lower conveyor belts, the conveying height of the material can remain consistent. The lower conveyor belt 34 is set at the same height as the conveying platforms of the first conveying component 1 and the second conveying component 2, meaning that the front and rear conveying heights are consistent. This not only ensures stable conveying but also facilitates equipment layout, installation, and debugging, and is more convenient for workers. (See Appendix) Figure 2 and 3 The rotating component 31 is cylindrical and horizontally positioned. It is rotatably mounted on the base 6, ensuring structural stability, stable rotation, and a long service life. The rotation of the rotating component can be driven by a cylinder or a motor 36. In this embodiment, the rotating component 31 is equipped with a first transmission wheel, and the driving component is a motor 36 mounted on the base 6. A second transmission wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the motor. A transmission belt 35 is provided on both the first and second transmission wheels. The motor 36 drives the first transmission wheel to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating component 31 to rotate vertically via the transmission belt and the second transmission wheel.

[0027] In Example 2, along the material conveying direction, the material channel 33 is inclined downwards, and the input end of the second conveying component 2 is lower than the output end of the first conveying component 1. For better connection, the input end of the material channel is lower than the output end of the first conveying component 1, and the output end of the material channel is higher than the input end of the second conveying component 2. Utilizing the output inertia of the first conveying component 1, the material automatically enters the material channel 33 of the rotating component from the output of the first conveying component. Using its own gravity, it automatically moves towards the lower discharge end, allowing the material to pass through the material channel 33 and enter the second conveying component 2. Thus, no additional driving power is needed for the material to enter the second conveying component 2 from the first conveying component 1, resulting in a simpler structure and lower equipment cost. Similarly, if the material needs to be flipped, the rotating component 31 rotates vertically 180 degrees within the material channel, causing the material in the channel to rotate vertically and flip its surface. To prevent the rotating component 31 from spinning idly, the height of the material channel is adapted to the height of the material, ensuring that the vertical rotation of the rotating component can drive the material in the material channel to rotate accordingly. The height of the input end of the material channel 33 is greater than the height of the output end, thus better receiving the material. In Figures 4 and 5, the driving component is a rotary cylinder 37, which is mounted on the base 6. The rotating component 31 is connected to the rotary cylinder 37. The rotation center line of the rotary cylinder 37 coincides with the center line of the material channel 33. The rotary cylinder 37 rotates around the rotation center line to achieve the flipping of the material.
