Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bag-flipping mechanism technology, and more specifically to the field of automatic bag-flipping device for flexible packaging products. Background Technology

[0002] A dairy beverage factory produces a product packaged in soft bags. The production date and other information are printed on the packaging bags while the equipment is still in operation. When the products leave the machine, some bags have the printed date side down. Packaging personnel need to manually flip the bags over to check the production date before packing. This not only consumes a significant amount of manpower for flipping the bags, increasing the workload of the packaging staff, but also risks that products with incorrectly printed dates might miss inspection and be mixed in with the finished product. The existing patent discloses the following: Patent publication CN103979126A, entitled "An Automatic Packaging Machine Side-Tilting Device," discloses the following: An automatic packaging machine side-tilting device includes a frame located on the side of the packaging shell transport track of the packaging machine. A lower mounting seat is provided on one side of the frame, and an upper mounting seat is provided above the lower mounting seat, parallel to the upper mounting seat. A set of eccentric wheels is provided on the lower mounting seat, and a rotating shaft extends through the upper mounting seat from each eccentric wheel. An eccentric block is connected to one end of the rotating shaft extending through the upper mounting seat. A fixing rod is provided at the end of the eccentric block away from its connection with the rotating shaft. The fixing rod is parallel to the rotating shaft, and a side-tilting fixing strip is provided at the top of the fixing rod. The side-tilting fixing strip has a tongue that reciprocates in the direction of the packaging shell transport track. This invention's automatic packaging machine side-tilting device utilizes the circumferential rotation of the eccentric block to automatically flip the side of the product's outer packaging. It has a simple structure and can smoothly flip the side cover of the packaging shell.

[0003] Patent publication number CN110371701A, entitled "An Automatic Tilting Device for Ton Bags," discloses the following: It relates to the field of material unloading machinery technology, including a support device, a tilting device, a clamping device, a pushing device, a discharge hopper, and a hydraulic station.

The clamping device is fixed at the circular hole of the discharge hopper. The pushing device includes a seated bearing II, a shaft, a hydraulic cylinder II, a positioning seat, a connecting rod, a bearing, and a bearing end cap. This invention can automate the unloading process, primarily for coal transportation. It reduces direct contact between operators and dust, significantly improving the working environment. Furthermore, the ton bags can be recycled, effectively preventing environmental pollution.

[0004] The packaging machine side-tilting device or ton bag automatic tilting device disclosed in the above patents have the drawbacks of being complex in structure and large in size, making them unsuitable for dairy beverages. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic flipping device for flexible packaging products in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides an automatic flipping device for flexible packaging products, including a linear conveyor mechanism for conveying flexible packaging products, a blocking mechanism for intercepting flexible packaging products on the linear conveyor mechanism, a flipping mechanism for flipping the flexible packaging products by cooperating with the blocking mechanism below the linear conveyor mechanism, a visual recognition system on the rear side of the flipping mechanism, and a controller on the linear conveyor mechanism. The visual recognition system, the bag-flipping mechanism, and the bag-blocking mechanism are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the linear conveyor mechanism; The linear conveyor, the bag-blocking mechanism, the bag-flipping mechanism, and the vision recognition system are all connected to the controller signal. When the vision recognition system detects that the flexible packaged product needs to be flipped, it inputs a signal into the controller, which then controls the bag-blocking mechanism and the bag-flipping mechanism to perform the flipping action.

[0007] In one embodiment, the linear conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame, a drive roller assembly disposed on the conveyor frame, a gear conveyor belt meshing with one end of the drive roller assembly, and a drive mechanism for driving the gear conveyor belt to rotate.

The bag-flipping cylinder assembly is signal-connected to the controller.

[0011] In one embodiment, a position sensor connected to the controller signal is provided at the bag-turning cylinder assembly on the conveyor frame.

[0012] Specifically, if the visual recognition system identifies that the flexible packaged product is facing up on the conveyor belt, when the flexible packaged product is transported to the flipping cylinder assembly, the position sensor transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the bag-blocking telescopic rod and the flipping telescopic rod to move simultaneously, so as to flip the flexible packaged product.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bag-blocking cylinder assembly and the bag-flipping cylinder assembly do not interfere with each other. In one embodiment, the minimum distance between the L-shaped plate of the bag-blocking cylinder assembly and the conveyor belt is 2mm, and the minimum distance between the bag-blocking cylinder assembly and the bag-flipping cylinder assembly is 3 / 4 of the width of the flexible packaging product.

[0014] In one embodiment, the visual recognition system includes a support frame mounted on a conveyor and a visual recognition camera mounted on the support frame, the visual recognition camera being signal-connected to a controller.

[0015] In one implementation, the controller is a PCL controller.

[0016] The working principle is as follows: like Figure 1 As shown, when a flexible packaged product passes through a vision recognition camera, if the product is identified as being face down on the conveyor belt, the blocking telescopic bar and the flipping telescopic bar will activate simultaneously. Figure 2 As shown, flip the flexible packaged product over from one end, and then... Figure 3 As shown, after the bag is flipped, the bag-blocking telescopic bar and the bag-flipping telescopic bar retract simultaneously, completing the bag-flipping action; If the visual recognition system detects that the flexible packaged product is facing up on the conveyor belt, neither the package-blocking cylinder assembly nor the package-flipping cylinder assembly will activate, and the product will run directly over the conveyor belt.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention relates to an automatic flipping device for flexible packaging products. The device features a rationally designed structure and layout. It achieves automatic flipping of flexible packaging products through the coordinated control of a visual recognition camera, a blocking cylinder assembly, and a flipping cylinder assembly. This method not only reduces manual labor intensity but also decreases the probability of products with date printing problems entering the market. Attached Figure Description
