Detailed Implementation

[0013] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0014] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the counting and dropping mechanism of a strip bag packaging production line according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is an internal front view of the counting and dropping mechanism of a strip bag packaging production line according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a side view of the counting and dropping mechanism of a strip bag packaging production line according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a double-door hopper device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] A counting and dropping mechanism for a strip bag packaging production line includes: an outer shell; a counting and dropping assembly 2 inside the outer shell; multiple horizontally spaced feed inlets on the back of the outer shell; an inspection door 3 on the front; and a discharge port on the bottom of the outer shell. Multiple counting and dropping assemblies 2 are sequentially arranged corresponding to the feed inlets. Each counting and dropping assembly 2 includes a photoelectric sensor 4, an upper double-door hopper device 5, and a lower double-door hopper device 6. The photoelectric sensor 4 is located at the upper edge of the feed inlet. The upper double-door hopper device 5 and the lower double-door hopper device 6 are arranged vertically. The mechanical structure of the upper double-door hopper device 5 is the same as that of the 6. It has a left half-hopper 7, a right half-hopper 8, a connecting rod 1 9, a connecting rod 2 10, a connecting rod 3 11 and a drive cylinder 12. The left half-hopper 7 and the right half-hopper 8 are fixed in the outer shell 1 by a shaft 13. The support arm 14 of the left half-hopper 7 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 1 9. The support arm 14 of the right half-hopper 8 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 2 10. The two ends of the connecting rod 3 11 are respectively connected to the ends of the connecting rod 1 9 and the connecting rod 2 10. One end of the push rod 15 of the drive cylinder 12 is connected to the connecting rod 3 11. The connecting rod 3 11 is fixed to the outer shell 1 by a shaft 13. The drive cylinder 12 is fixed in the outer shell 1 by a bracket.

[0016] The outer casing 1 contains four counting bag dropping components 2, and additional counting bag dropping components 2 can be added according to production requirements to improve production efficiency.

[0017] The bottom of the outer shell 1 is provided with four support legs 16. The outer shell 1 has a conveying track with a conveying trough. The counted strip bags in the lower double-door hopper device 6 can fall into the conveying trough and be conveyed to the next work station.

[0018] The connection points at both ends of the connecting rod 11 are not on the same straight line as the connection point of the top rod 15, which creates a mechanical dead point between the connecting rods, thus achieving the function of limiting the position. Even if the air volume of the drive cylinder 12 is insufficient, the weight of the bag 17 will not cause the upper double-door hopper device 5 and the lower double-door hopper device 6 to open.

[0019] The filled strip bags 17 on the strip bagging machine are conveyed to the hopper of the upper double-door hopper device 5 via a belt conveyor; the photoelectric sensor 4 counts the number of strip bags, and when the required total number is reached, the drive cylinder 12 pulls the linkage mechanism to open the hopper of the upper double-door hopper device 5, and the material falls into the hopper of the lower double-door hopper device 6, which acts as a buffer. When the conveying trough is positioned below the lower double-door hopper device 6, the hopper of the lower double-door hopper device 6 opens, and the material falls into the conveying trough and is conveyed away.

[0020] This utility model has multiple counting and bag dropping components 2 set inside the outer shell 1. The counting and bag dropping components 2 count and count the bags simultaneously. The counted bags 17 fall into the conveying trough and are transported to the boxing station. This automated counting and counting can reduce the error rate and improve the counting efficiency.

[0021] The foregoing description illustrates and describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, as previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or techniques or knowledge in related fields. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
