Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hygiene product sorting equipment technology, and in particular to a sorting device with a front guard and lifting function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common disposable hygiene products include sanitary napkins, diapers, tissues, and wet wipes. These products are widely used, leading to numerous improvements in both the products themselves and their packaging. The packaging of disposable hygiene products after manufacturing generally falls into two categories: bagging and boxing. Bagging includes individual packaging and bulk packaging after individual packaging. For example, multiple products are packaged in small individual bags to prevent contamination or moisture and to ensure individual sale and use. These smaller packages are then bundled together to form a larger package for sale. Boxing after bagging facilitates subsequent transportation.

[0003] Before boxing, packaged hygiene products are conveyed to a sorting rack for clamping and stacking. Then, a robotic arm picks up the stacked products from the sorting rack and transports them to the boxing equipment for packaging. Existing sorting racks typically have fixed clamps at both ends to hold the packaged products, and sliding clamps that can move relative to these clamps, holding the stacked products between them. However, this type of sorting rack only clamps and positions the packaged products, offering a relatively limited function. Utility Model Content

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A material handling device with a front guard and lifting function is installed at the output position 101 of the conveying device 10. It includes a support base 21, a material handling frame 22 installed on the top of the support base 21, a swing drive mechanism 23 installed in the support base 21, and a baffle structure 24 installed at the clamping end of the material handling frame 22. The material handling frame 22 is provided with a material handling cavity 201. The material handling frame 22 can swing towards the conveying device 10 under the drive of the swing drive mechanism 23, and forms a receiving position 202 with the material handling cavity 201 facing the conveying device 10 and a discharge position 203 with the material handling cavity 201 facing upward along the swing path.

[0021] See also Figure 3The baffle structure 24 includes two slide rails 241 arranged opposite each other at the clamping end of the sorting rack 22, a baffle 242 disposed within the sorting cavity 201 that can reciprocate between the inlet and bottom of the sorting cavity 201, and a baffle drive mechanism 243 for driving the baffle 242 to slide along the two slide rails 241. The packaged products, after being stacked, are input from the conveying device 10 into the sorting cavity 201 of the sorting rack 22 located at the receiving position 202, with the baffle 242 blocking the packaged products. While blocking, the blocking drive mechanism 243 drives the blocking bracket 242 to move from the inlet of the feeding chamber of the feeding chamber 201 to the bottom, improving the stability when the packaged product is input into the feeding chamber 201; and before the robot arm grabs the packaged product from the feeding chamber 201 of the feeding rack 22 located at the discharge position 203, it can drive the blocking bracket 242 from the bottom of the feeding chamber 201 to the inlet of the feeding chamber by the blocking drive mechanism 243, lifting the packaged product in the feeding chamber 201 to a preset height so that the robot arm can grab it.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the slide rail frame 241 includes a side frame 2411 installed on the adjacent side of the material handling rack 22, a long strip plate 2412 connected to the side frame 2411 and disposed on the clamping end of the material handling rack 22, and a slide rail 2413 installed on the long strip plate 2412 along the material handling cavity 201 in the material inlet and outlet direction.

[0023] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the baffle 242 includes a baffle end 2421 disposed in the material handling cavity 201 and a synchronization end 2422 extending from the baffle end 2421 to the location of the two slide rail frames 241. The baffle end 2421 is equipped with a baffle plate 31 for blocking or lifting the packaged product. The synchronization end 2422 is provided with a synchronization plate 32 corresponding to each slide rail frame 241. One end of the synchronization plate 32 is connected to the synchronization end 2422, and the other end extends to the slide rail frame 241 and has a slider 321 that can slide along the slide rail frame 241 on the side facing the slide rail frame 241.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stop drive mechanism 243 is installed on any slide rail frame 241, and includes two first set of pulleys 2431 arranged opposite each other on the upper and lower ends of the slide rail frame 241, a fixed frame 2432 installed on the clamping end of the material handling rack 22, a stop drive motor 2433 installed on the fixed frame 2432, a transmission wheel 2434 installed on the rotating shaft of the stop drive motor 2433, and a transmission belt 2435 sleeved on the two first set of pulleys 2431 and the transmission wheel 2434. The stop frame 242 is provided with a clamping arm 322 on the synchronous plate 32 adjacent to the transmission belt 2435 to clamp the transmission belt 2435. When the stop drive motor 2433 drives the transmission belt 2435 to rotate, it synchronously drives the stop frame 242 to slide along the slide rail frame 241 and reciprocate between the feed chamber opening and the bottom.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing frame 2432 is provided with a plurality of second sets of pulleys 2436 between the transmission wheel 2434 and the adjacent slide rail frame 241, so that the transmission belt 2435 is fitted between the plurality of second sets of pulleys 2436, the two first sets of pulleys 2431 and the transmission wheel 2434, in order to maintain the tension of the transmission belt 2435.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first set of pulleys 2431 can be directly installed on the slide rail frame 241, or installed on the adjusting block 33. The adjusting block 33 can be installed on the slide rail frame 241, thereby allowing the adjusting block 33 to be disassembled and installed, and the installation position of the adjusting block 33 on the slide rail frame 241 to control the tension of the transmission belt 2435.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material handling rack 22 includes a base frame 221, a fixed clamp 222, and a movable clamp 223; the base frame 221 is rotatably mounted on the top of the support base 21, and a linear module 224 is arranged along or parallel to the central axis within it; the fixed clamp 222 is fixedly mounted on one end of the base frame 221 adjacent to the conveying device 10; the movable clamp 223 is mounted on the driving end of the linear module 224, and can move forward and backward relative to the fixed clamp 222 under the drive of the linear module 224, so that the material handling cavity 201 is formed between the movable clamp 223 and the fixed clamp 222; the end of the base frame 221 adjacent to the movable clamp 223 is the clamping end.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the movable clamp 223 has a gap space 2231 at the connection between the stop end 2421 and the synchronization end 2422 of the corresponding stop bracket 242, so as to accommodate the connection. This allows the movable clamp 223 to move forward and backward relative to the fixed clamp 222 or the stop bracket 242 to move back and forth between the feed inlet and the bottom of the material handling chamber 201 without affecting each other.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom frame 221 is hinged to the top of the support base 21; the swing drive mechanism 23 adopts a lifting structure that is hinged to the bottom frame 221.

[0030] Understandably, the method of using the material handling device with front guard and lifting function of this utility model includes the following steps: First, the material handling rack 22 swings to the receiving position 202 under the drive of the swing drive mechanism 23. The baffle drive mechanism 243 drives the baffle 242 to move to the inlet of the material handling cavity 201. When the conveying device 10 conveys the packaged product into the material handling cavity 201 with the pushing structure, the fixed clamp 222 supports the packaged product. While the baffle 242 maintains the obstruction of the packaged product, it moves from the inlet of the material handling cavity 201 to the bottom under the drive of the baffle drive mechanism 243. The first step effectively improves the stability of the packaged product during transport. The second step involves the linear module 224 driving the movable clamp 223 to move towards the fixed clamp 222, narrowing the material handling cavity 201 so that the fixed clamp 222 and the movable clamp 223 can hold the packaged product. The third step involves the main body of the material handling rack 22 swinging to the discharge position 203 under the drive of the swing drive mechanism 23. Before the robot arm picks up the packaged product, the stop drive mechanism 243 drives the stop bracket 242 to slide from the bottom of the material handling cavity 201 towards the inlet, lifting the packaged product within the material handling cavity 201 to a preset height for easy picking by the robot arm. This makes the input of the packaged product into the material handling rack 22 more stable and the picking up of the packaged product by the robot arm more convenient.

[0031] In summary, the material handling device with front baffle and lifting functions of this utility model has more diverse functions through the cooperation between the support base 21, the material handling rack 22, the swing drive mechanism 23 and the baffle structure 24. When the packaged product is input into the material handling rack 22, the baffle 242 can block the packaged product, making the conveying of the packaged product more stable. When the robot arm grabs the packaged product, the baffle 242 can lift the packaged product to facilitate the robot arm's grabbing.
