Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bagging machine technology, and in particular to a positioning and scanning mechanism for a bagging machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the cosmetics manufacturing industry, makeup brushes typically need to be encased in flat, strip-shaped sleeves. These sleeves must be accurately placed and identified on the production line to facilitate subsequent automated processes such as opening and sealing, and to enable product traceability. Currently, the positioning and scanning of these sleeves largely rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices. For example, the sleeves are manually placed onto fixed fixtures, or a basic push rod is used for rough positioning, followed by identification using a barcode scanner. However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks: the sleeves are prone to misalignment during placement, causing the identification labels to malfunction and resulting in a low scanning success rate; furthermore, manual operation is inefficient, error-prone, and fails to meet the demands of high-speed production lines.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a positioning and scanning mechanism for a bagging machine to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

An adsorption lifting assembly includes a fixed plate, a lifting drive device fixed to the fixed plate, a vertical plate slidably connected to the fixed plate, a horizontal plate vertically fixed to the vertical plate, and a vacuum suction cup disposed on the horizontal plate; the drive end of the lifting drive device is fixedly connected to the vertical plate to drive the vacuum suction cup closer to or away from the receiving groove; the vacuum suction cup is used to adsorb the flat bag; A pusher positioning component is used to push the flat bag placed in the receiving groove and not attracted by the vacuum suction cup, so that one end of the flat bag abuts against the positioning strip and the identification label of the flat bag is aligned with the through hole. A label recognition component is fixed to the workbench and located below the receiving slot to recognize the label through the through hole; A translation drive module is fixed to the frame and is used to drive the fixed plate to move horizontally.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the shelf includes multiple support rods and a shelf mounted on all the support rods. The shelf has at least two parallel and spaced-apart limiting strips on the side away from the support rods. The adjacent limiting strips together form a receiving groove. The positioning strip is fixed to the shelf and is perpendicular to the limiting strips.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the carrier plate is provided with a plurality of accommodating slots arranged side by side, and each accommodating slot corresponds to placing one of the flat bags.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal plate is provided with a plurality of vacuum suction cups, and each receiving slot corresponds to at least two vacuum suction cups arranged at intervals; at least two vacuum suction cups corresponding to the same receiving slot are used to adsorb different parts of the front and back of the same flat bag respectively.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the through hole is formed on the side of the carrier plate away from the positioning strip and is located at the midpoint between two adjacent limiting strips.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the material pushing and positioning assembly includes a horizontal driving device, a connecting block, and a push plate; the body of the horizontal driving device is fixed to the worktable, and the connecting block is connected to the movable end of the horizontal driving device; the push plate is fixed to the end of the connecting block away from the horizontal driving device and is perpendicular to the limiting strip; the horizontal driving device is used to drive the push plate closer to or away from the receiving groove, so that the push plate can push the flat bag, thereby causing the end of the flat bag away from the push plate to abut against the positioning strip.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the label recognition component includes a bracket vertically fixed to the workbench and a camera fixed to the bracket, the camera being used to recognize the identification label on the flat bag.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal plate is connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate, and the top of the horizontal plate is connected to the vertical plate by at least one reinforcing plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed plate is provided with a pair of parallel and spaced slide rails, and the vertical plate is provided with a pair of sliders corresponding to the slide rails.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described in this specification are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0020] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0021] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0022] In an embodiment of this utility model, a positioning and scanning mechanism 100 for a bagging machine is provided, which is used to adjust the position of multiple film flat bags 200 fed in the previous process, so as to facilitate subsequent bag opening, bag filling and other processes, and to expose the identification label 300 (e.g., QR code) on the flat bag 200 for scanning and identification so as to trace the source of materials.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the positioning and scanning mechanism 100 of the bagging machine includes: a frame 10, a carrier 20, an adsorption and lifting component 30, a translation drive module 40, a material pushing and positioning component 50, and a label recognition component 60.

[0024] The frame 10 includes components such as a worktable 11, a cover, a fixing frame, and an electrical control box. It mainly serves to support and fix other components. Since it is not the main inventive point of this utility model, conventional components such as the fixing frame and the electrical control box will not be described in detail.

[0025] The rack 20 is fixed to the workbench 11 and has a receiving slot 201 extending horizontally through both ends. The rack 20 has a positioning strip 21 located near one end of the receiving slot 201 and perpendicular to it. The receiving slot 201 is elongated and has openings at both ends. The receiving slot 201 is used to hold a flat bag 200. The flat bag 200 is placed into the receiving slot 201 by the feeding assembly from the previous process; it is understood that at this point, the flat bag 200 may not be in its intended position.

[0026] Specifically, the shelf 20 includes multiple support rods 22 and a shelf 23 mounted on all the support rods 22. The support rods 22 are vertically fixed to the workbench 11. The shelf 23 has at least two parallel, spaced-apart limiting strips 24 on the side away from the support rods 22, with adjacent limiting strips 24 forming a receiving groove 201. Furthermore, to improve assembly efficiency, the surface of the shelf 23 has multiple side-by-side receiving grooves 201, and correspondingly, multiple limiting strips 24 are also provided. Each receiving groove 201 corresponds to a flat pouch 200.

[0027] The positioning strip 21 is fixed to the carrier plate 23 and is perpendicular to the limiting strip 24. The side of the positioning strip 21 can abut against one end of the limiting strip 24, thereby closing one end of the receiving groove 201; or it can be set at a distance from one end of the limiting strip 24.

[0028] Furthermore, a through hole 202 is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 201. Specifically, the through hole 202 is provided on the side of the carrier plate 23 away from the positioning strip 21, and is located at the midpoint between two adjacent limiting strips 24. That is, when the flat bag 200 is accurately placed in the predetermined position of the receiving groove 201, the unique identification label 300 (e.g., QR code) corresponding to each flat bag 200 is aligned with the through hole 202, or falls completely within the range of the through hole 202, thereby exposing the identification label 300.

[0029] The label recognition component 60 is fixed to the workbench 11 and located below the receiving groove 201 to recognize the label 300 through the through hole 202.

[0030] Specifically, the label recognition component 60 includes a bracket 61 vertically fixed to the workbench 11 and a camera 62 fixed to the bracket 61. The camera 62 is used to recognize the recognition label 300 on the flat bag 200.

[0031] In this embodiment, the pusher positioning component 50 is used to push the flat bag 200 placed in the receiving groove 201 and not attracted by the vacuum suction cup 35, so that one end of the flat bag 200 abuts against the positioning strip 21 and the identification label 300 of the flat bag 200 is aligned with the through hole 202.

[0032] Specifically, the material pushing and positioning assembly 50 includes a horizontal drive device 51, a connecting block 52, and a push plate 53. The body of the horizontal drive device 51 is fixed to the worktable 11. The connecting block 52 is connected to the movable end of the horizontal drive device 51 and has a right-angle plate structure. The push plate 53 is fixed to the end of the connecting block 52 away from the horizontal drive device 51 and is perpendicular to the limiting strip 24. The horizontal drive device 51 is used to drive the push plate 53 to move closer to or away from the receiving groove 201, so that the push plate 53 can push the flat bag 200, thereby causing the end of the flat bag 200 away from the push plate 53 to abut against the positioning strip 21. It should be noted that the pushing stroke of the horizontal drive device 51 is preset and fixed. When the push plate 53 pushes multiple flat bags 200, as long as one end of the flat bag 200 abuts against the push plate 53, the other end of the flat bag 200 will abut against the positioning strip 21. At this point, the multiple flat bags 200, which are offset from each other, all reach the same predetermined position after traveling different distances.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, the adsorption lifting assembly 30 is used to pick up and move the flat bag 200 after positioning and scanning upwards. It includes a fixed plate 31, a lifting drive device 32 fixed to the fixed plate 31, a vertical plate 33 slidably connected to the fixed plate 31, a horizontal plate 34 vertically fixed to the vertical plate 33, and a vacuum suction cup 35 disposed on the horizontal plate 34. The drive end of the lifting drive device 32 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 33 to drive the vacuum suction cup 35 closer to or further away from the receiving groove 201.

[0034] Vacuum suction cups 35 are used to adsorb the flat bag 200 by creating negative pressure. It should be noted that the structure and implementation principle of the vacuum suction cups 35 can be found in existing technology, and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the horizontal plate 34 is provided with multiple vacuum suction cups 35, with each receiving groove 201 corresponding to at least two spaced-apart vacuum suction cups 35. At least two vacuum suction cups 35 corresponding to the same receiving groove 201 are used to adsorb different parts of the front and rear of the same flat bag 200, thereby minimizing the risk of large local collapse or bending of the flat bag 200 during movement.

[0035] Furthermore, the horizontal plate 34 is connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate 33, and the top of the horizontal plate 34 is connected to the vertical plate 33 by at least one reinforcing plate 36, thereby strengthening the connection between the horizontal plate 34 and the vertical plate 33.

[0036] The fixed plate 31 is provided with a pair of parallel and spaced slide rails 37. The vertical plate 33 is provided with a pair of sliders 38 corresponding to the slide rails 37. The sliders 38 hold onto the corresponding slide rails 37 so that the vertical plate 33 can move up and down relative to the fixed plate 31.

[0037] Furthermore, a mounting plate 39 is vertically provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 31. A buffer rod 391 is vertically provided on the mounting plate 39 below the vertical plate 33. The buffer rod 391 is used to buffer the descent of the vertical plate 33 and prevent impact damage to the vacuum suction cup 35.

[0038] In this embodiment, the translation drive module 40 is fixed to the frame 10. The fixing plate 31 is fixed to the drive end of the translation drive module 40. The translation drive module 40 is used to drive the fixing plate 31 to move horizontally, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup 35 and the flat bag 200 to move horizontally, and thus enabling the flat bag 200 to be moved to the next work station. It should be noted that the structure of the translation drive module 40 can adopt the drive module commonly used in the mechanical field, and its implementation principle will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In summary, the positioning and scanning mechanism 100 of the bagging machine provided by this utility model constrains the bagging position through the receiving groove 201 and positioning strip 21 on the carrier 20, and uses the pushing positioning component 50 to push the bag so that one end abuts against the positioning strip 21, ensuring accurate horizontal positioning of the bag, while aligning the identification label 300 with the through hole 202 at the bottom of the receiving groove 201; the label identification component 60 reliably identifies the identification label 300 through the through hole 202, while the adsorption lifting component 30 and the translation drive module 40 realize the adsorption and movement of the flat bag 200, thereby efficiently completing positioning and scanning, improving the level of production automation and traceability reliability.

[0040] This invention is not limited to the description in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, other advantages and modifications can be readily realized by those skilled in the art. Thus, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
