Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beverage can production equipment, and more specifically to an automatic unloading device for lid strips. Background Technology
[0002] Depalletizers are machines commonly used in workshops to unload products, particularly in aluminum can manufacturing plants. The metal lids of aluminum cans are stacked into complete lid strips, which are then stacked into complete lid strip stacks. These stacks are typically unpacked using a depalletizer, transferring the individual lid strips to the next process via a conveyor belt. However, a common problem encountered during the actual unpacking process is the use of buffer plates between layers of lid strips to prevent deformation from hard impacts during transport, as well as the bottom base plate. Existing depalletizers typically use suction cup assemblies for unpacking, requiring workers to remove the buffer plates and base plates after each layer. This significantly increases the workload for workers, negatively impacts unpacking efficiency, and poses a safety hazard for workers standing next to the depalletizer. This problem urgently needs to be addressed. In response to this, the inventor proposes an automatic unstacking device for cover strips. By improving the unstacking components, the unstacking components can achieve normal unstacking and can classify and place the buffer plates and base plates. The entire process can be completed automatically without manual intervention, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of enterprises, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving the production safety of enterprises.
[0003] To achieve rapid unpalletizing of empty aluminum cans and improve production efficiency and automation, Chinese Patent (Authorization Announcement No.: CN204021952U) discloses an automatic unpalletizing machine for empty aluminum cans. This utility model includes a conveyor platform on which stacks of aluminum cans are sequentially placed. The conveyor platform is driven forward by a drive device, and a unpalletizing machine housing is provided in the forward direction of the conveyor platform to accommodate the stacks. A lifting device is provided inside the unpalletizing machine housing to raise and lower the stacks. A scraper device is provided at the top of the unpalletizing machine housing to push one layer of cans onto the conveyor belt. This automatic unpalletizing machine for empty aluminum cans enables rapid transportation and unpalletizing, improves work efficiency, ensures production capacity, reduces labor costs, and has a reasonable structural design, making it practical.
[0004] The solution still has some shortcomings in application. Since cans or lids are stacked, buffer plates are placed on the upper and lower layers of each material during stacking, and a base plate is placed at the bottom for easy transportation. Therefore, in addition to unloading the material, the buffer plates and base plates need to be disassembled and sorted for easy subsequent storage. Otherwise, manual handling is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards. Therefore, the structure of the lid unloading device needs to be improved to overcome the above-mentioned problems, so that the unloading device can also disassemble and sort the buffer plates and base plates for easy subsequent storage, improve the automation level of unloading, and improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention discloses an automatic unpacking device for cover strips, the main purpose of which is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An automatic unstacking device for cover strips includes an unstacking frame and cover strips. The unstacking frame has lead screws at its four corners and a lifting frame in the middle. The lifting frame has collars at its four corners, which are fitted onto the lead screws. The lifting frame has first slide rails on its left and right sides, and an unstacking assembly is provided between the first slide rails. The unstacking assembly includes a cover strip unstacking box on the front side and a cover plate unstacking box on the rear side. The cover strip unstacking box has lifting claws at its lower front side, and the cover plate unstacking box has several suction cups at its bottom. The unstacking frame has a feeding seat on its front side, and the feeding seat has a base plate. The cover strips are placed on the base plate in a stacked structure with a buffer plate in the middle.
[0008] Furthermore, the feed seat is provided with a second slide rail, and a limiting block is provided at the end of the second slide rail. The bottom of the base plate extends into the second slide rail from one side and can slide forward along the second slide rail to the limiting block.
[0009] Furthermore, an unloading conveyor belt is provided on the front side of the unloading rack.
[0010] Furthermore, a first motor is installed on one side of the lead screw, and the lifting frame can move up and down along the unloading frame by driving the lead screw to rotate through the first motor.
[0011] Furthermore, a second motor is installed on both sides of the unloading assembly. The unloading assembly can move back and forth along the first slide rail via the second motor. The cover strip unloading box moves forward and lifts the cover strip through the lifting claw and sends it above the unloading conveyor belt for unloading.
[0012] Furthermore, a placement space is provided on the rear side of the destacking rack, and the base plate and the buffer plate are adsorbed and sorted into the placement space by the suction cups of the cover plate destacking box.
[0013] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention firstly features a feeding seat on the front of the destacking frame, with a second slide rail in the middle. This allows the base plate of the cover strip stack to slide along the second slide rail to the unstacking area, facilitating the subsequent unstacking of the cover strips. Next, a placement space is provided on the rear of the destacking frame to prepare for the subsequent sorting and placement of the buffer plates and base plates. Finally, the cover strips are first unstacking using the cover strip unstacking box and lifting claws on the front of the destacking assembly, and then onto the unloading conveyor belt. The suction cups on the cover plate unstacking box on the rear of the destacking assembly then adsorb the buffer plates and base plates between the cover strips, placing them in the placement space for easy retrieval later. This design achieves both unstacking of the cover strips and orderly storage of the buffer plates and base plates. The entire process requires no manual intervention and has a high level of automation. This invention has a novel structure and ingenious design. By setting cover strip unstacking boxes and cover plate unstacking boxes on the front and rear of the destacking assembly respectively to unstacking the cover strips, buffer plates, and base plates, it is highly practical and suitable for widespread application.

Next, a placement space is provided on the rear of the destacking frame to prepare for the subsequent sorting and placement of the buffer plates and base plates. Finally, the cover strips are first unstacking using the cover strip unstacking box and lifting claws on the front of the destacking assembly, and then onto the unloading conveyor belt. The suction cups on the cover plate unstacking box on the rear of the destacking assembly then adsorb the buffer plates and base plates between the cover strips, placing them in the placement space for easy retrieval later. This design achieves both unstacking of the cover strips and orderly storage of the buffer plates and base plates. The entire process requires no manual intervention and has a high level of automation. This invention has a novel structure and ingenious design. By setting cover strip unstacking boxes and cover plate unstacking boxes on the front and rear of the destacking assembly respectively to unstacking the cover strips, buffer plates, and base plates, it is highly practical and suitable for widespread application.
