Description

Automatic band paper assembling apparatus

The present invention relates to a device for coupling a belt to the outer surface of a packaged product, and more particularly, to an automatic belt coupling device for automatically coupling a belt connected in a ring shape to a circumference of a packaged product.

As various goods are manufactured and distributed in various ways, the way they are packaged has also changed in various forms. The packaging method may vary depending on the shape or material of the product, and accordingly, it is primarily packaged using a dedicated container, box, or wrapping paper. In addition to this, a method of secondary packaging around a paper strip commonly called band paper is also frequently used.

Traditionally, most of the strips have been used for limited purposes, such as decorating a book cover or maintaining a shape around an article such as a towel, but now the articles are simply packaged using the strip in more diverse fields. In particular, when it is difficult to directly print the product name or related matters on the outside of the product, using a bandage can be very effective. For example, eggs distributed in the market are secondarily packaged with a strip of paper to inform consumers of the origin or to appeal to consumers through various advertisements.

However, since the belt is packaged relatively delicately in such a way that it closely adheres to the outer surface of the article and surrounds the article, there is a limit to working with a machine. That is, in most cases of the related art, the bandage is manually combined, and thus there is a problem in that the efficiency of the production process is reduced. There are cases in which some belt bonding processes have been partially mechanized (eg, Korean Patent 10-1420577, etc.), but there was a problem in that the process speed was slow because it was a method such as winding the belt while turning the product in the same way as by hand. It had problems such as being unable to be used for packaging fragile or deformable products such as eggs. Therefore, there is a need to develop newer technologies.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-1420577, (2014. 07.17)

That is, in this embodiment, a plurality of strip discharge modules 31 and 32 are formed and arranged in parallel in the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 . Accordingly, it is possible to form the distribution module 60 disposed on the supply conveyor 110 to selectively supply the packaged goods to any one of the plurality of strip discharge modules 31 and 32 together. Through this, it is possible to smoothly proceed with the process of bonding the strip to the packaging product using a plurality of lines. The distribution module 60 may be formed in various shapes, but may include, for example, a swing pipe 610 that swings about an axis and changes the traveling direction of the packaged product, and a support plate for supporting the swing pipe 610 . It may be formed in a form including a 620 and a driving unit 630 providing a driving force. The driving unit 630 does not need to be limited in a specific way, and various mechanical structures that can make periodic reciprocating motions (see FIG. 11 ) of the swing tube 610 such as gears, cams, forward/reverse motors, etc. may be used. have. Therefore, since the present embodiment is only an example, it is not necessary to understand it as such. Contents related to the supply of the packaged goods will be described in more detail in the overall operation description to be described later.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the belt storage boxes 21 and 22 overlap and store a plurality of belt papers (A) inside in a folded state. The belt storage boxes 21 and 22 have an outlet 20a as shown in FIG. 4 and the outlet 20a is formed to face the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 . That is, the belt storage boxes 21 and 22 are spaced between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 in which the belt discharge modules 31 and 32 to be described later are disposed to discharge the belt paper (A) stored therein. is formed Within such a limit, the belt storage boxes 21 and 22 are also capable of being deformed in various various forms. Preferably, as in the present embodiment, it is possible to form the storage boxes 21 and 22 in the form of a tower arranged vertically, and in such a case, the upper end of the box is opened so that the belt paper (A) can be easily supplied. If necessary, a mass for pressing the belt paper (A) toward the outlet (20a) of the lower portion through the open portion of the upper portion may be disposed in the belt paper storage boxes (21, 22). The inner space of the belt paper storage boxes (21, 22) can be formed in various shapes that can accommodate the belt paper (A), and can store the belt paper (A) in a folded state in such an inner space. That is, the belt papers (A) stored in the belt paper storage boxes (21, 22) can be stored in a flat manner. For example, the strip (A) can be prepared by cutting it to a length corresponding to the circumference of the outer circumferential surface of the packaged product and then connecting it in advance in the form of a ring. For example, a fold line may be formed at a position corresponding to the edge of the packaged product. It is possible to form the band (A) connected in a ring shape in various ways. When a plurality of belt storage boxes 21 and 22 are formed as in the present embodiment, they may be formed in different sizes and may store the belt paper A of different sizes corresponding to each other. In such a case, the process may be configured to selectively combine the strips (A) of different sizes to packaging articles of different sizes. The belt storage boxes 21 and 22 may be arranged so that the ends face the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 in a state on the table 200, for example.

The strip discharge modules 31 and 32 are formed by three-dimensionally arranged support plates 310 , movable suction nozzles 320 , and moving insertion tubes 330 . The belt discharge modules 31 and 32 may be located under the belt paper storage boxes 21 and 22, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and located adjacent to the outlet 20a of the belt paper storage boxes 21 and 22 described above. can A plurality of belt discharge modules 31 and 32 may also be formed, and each of the belt discharge modules 31 and 32 includes the following detailed configuration. The belt discharge module (31, 32), the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 in the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 on the opposite side of the discharge port 20a of the belt storage boxes (21, 22) ) and the support plate 310 disposed in the direction to connect, passing through the support plate 310 to enter and exit perpendicular to the support plate 310 and approach the outlet 20a to adsorb the belt paper A with negative pressure and the support plate 310 ), a movable suction nozzle 320, and a moving insertion tube 330 that moves between the support plate 310 and the supply conveyor 110 and expands in a ring shape by inserting the end into the belt paper (A). The support plate 310 may be disposed between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 in parallel with them, and may be disposed to match the height. That is, the support plate 310 is arranged in a direction to connect the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 so that the packaged goods delivered from the supply conveyor 110 can pass therethrough without resistance. The fact that the support plate 310 is arranged in a direction to connect the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 means that the longitudinal direction of the support plate 310 is in a straight line connecting the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120. It may mean an arranged state, and the support plate 310 may be disposed such that, for example, the upper surface is substantially at the same height as the upper surface of the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 . The support plate 310 may be disposed in a fixed state on the frame 70 forming the support structure of the automatic belt coupling device 1 .

The movable suction nozzle 320 is a nozzle capable of generating negative pressure while moving, and is formed to be movable through the support plate 310 . That is, the movable structure in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the support plate 310 is combined to form the strip discharge modules 31 and 32 . The movable suction nozzle 320 penetrates the support plate 310 and enters and exits vertically with respect to the support plate 310, approaches the outlet 20a of the belt storage boxes 21 and 22 to adsorb the belt paper A with negative pressure, and the support plate up to (310). In addition, the moving insertion tube 330 is positioned adjacent to the support plate 310, but moves between the support plate 310 and the supply conveyor 110, and inserts the end into the strip (A) pulled out with the support plate 310 to insert the ring expand in the form. The structure of the support plate 310, the movable suction nozzle 320, and the moving insertion tube 330 forms a discharge structure that presses and spreads the belt paper A in a very three-dimensional manner together with the side pressure units 41 and 42 described above. . Hereinafter, the structures of the strip discharge modules 31 and 32 and the side pressure units 41 and 42 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6 .

FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating in more detail a part of the strip discharge module among the internal structures of the automatic belt strip coupling device shown in FIG. 2 . FIG. 6 shows a module located on the right side of FIG. 1 among a plurality of strip discharge modules.

Referring to FIG. 6 , a plurality of through holes 310a may be formed on the support plate 310 . As described above, the support plate 310 may be disposed in the space between the supply conveyor (see 110 in FIG. 3) and the discharge conveyor (see 120 in FIG. 3) in a direction connecting them, and may be arranged in a horizontal direction. The through hole 310a may be formed to correspond to the number of movable suction nozzles 320, and for this reason, the movable suction nozzle 320 passes through the support plate 310 as shown in FIG. can An opening serving as a suction port may be formed at the distal end of the movable suction nozzle 320 moving through the support plate 310 , and suction force may be provided to the belt through the opening. Although not shown, a pipe connected to a pump may be connected to the other side of the movable suction nozzle 320 to adjust the pressure inside the movable suction nozzle 320 . The movable suction nozzles 320 may be formed in plurality, and they may be connected to one or the like to operate by being connected to the elevating unit 321 that is expanded and contracted from the driving unit 322 . The driving unit 322 may be formed of, for example, an actuator that expands and contracts the piston by hydraulic pressure or the like, and the lifting unit may be connected to the piston or the like. However, it is not necessary to be limited in this way, and in addition, the driving structure can be formed in various ways that can be expanded and contracted and can drive the movable suction nozzle 320 .

The support plate 310 may be formed in a flat plate structure, but may include a portion refracted to the outside as shown. The refracted portion may serve to stand up the belt, especially when the belt is sucked and discharged. That is, the pressure plate 311 that is connected to one side of the support plate 310 and is in contact with the belt paper (see A of FIG. 8A) adsorbed to the movable suction nozzle 320 to push the belt paper A to the opposite side of the movement. ) can be formed. The pressure plate 311 may be formed on both sides of the side of the support plate 310 and, for example, may be formed integrally with the support plate 310 by bending the end of the support plate 310 . However, it is not necessary to be limited as such, and it is possible to form the pressure plate 311 at another position by using various structures that can be pushed to the opposite side by contacting the strip (A). The pressure plate 311 may be formed in one or a plurality, and may be formed by coupling a separately formed structure to the support plate 310 . Therefore, it is not necessary to be limited to the form as in the present embodiment.

The moving insertion tube 330 is formed to move as shown in FIG. 6 between the support plate 310 and the supply conveyor (see 110 in FIG. 3 ). The moving insertion tube 330 is formed in a size that can pass the packaged goods (refer to B of FIGS. 10 and 11) into the inside, and for example, the strip (refer to A of FIG. 10) discharged to the support plate 310. The facing end and the opposite end (ie, the side facing the supply conveyor) may be formed in asymmetrical shape with each other. The moving insertion tube 330 is formed in an asymmetrical shape with one end facing the belt paper A having a narrower width than the other end facing the supply conveyor 110, elastically deformed at one end toward the belt paper A, and packaged goods An elastic blade (330b) for guiding (B) to the inside of the belt (A) may be formed (see FIG. 10). With this structure, the end on which the elastic blade 330b is formed can be smoothly inserted into the belt paper (A) to expand the belt paper (A) in a ring shape. On the other side of the elastic blade (330b), an extended blade (330c) extended outwardly is formed to guide the packaging article (B) to the inside of the moving insertion tube (330).

In particular, the moving insertion tube 330 is formed with cut-out portions 330a cut in a straight line through both ends on one side, so that the pressing pusher 520 of the pressing module (see 51 and 52 in FIGS. 1 to 5). ) may move through the moving insertion tube 330 through the cutout 330a. The pressure mill 520 is coupled to the chain 513 and can travel in a straight line, and moves the space between the supply conveyor (refer to 110 in FIG. 1) and the discharge conveyor (refer to 120 in FIG. 1) in a straight line as will be described later. The packaging article (B) can be inserted into the bandage (A) on the support plate (310). The pressurizing rod 520 can move completely through the moving insertion tube 330 through the structure of the cutout 330a, and passes through the moving insertion tube 330 and passes over the support plate 310, and the bandage (A) It may also serve to push the packaged article (B) to which the is coupled to the discharge conveyor 120 . Therefore, the packaging operation can be made very quickly by continuously proceeding with the process of discharging the article to which the strip (A) is coupled and the strip (A) is combined without a substantial time delay. Specific operations related to packaging will be described later in more detail. The moving insertion tube 330 may be connected to the driving unit 332 through, for example, a connecting unit 331 that is expandable and slidable, etc., and the driving unit 332 may be configured using a linear actuator that operates in various ways. can Through this, it is possible to implement the moving insertion tube 330 that slides in the direction toward the support plate 310 and the opposite direction as shown in FIG. A driving structure of the moving inserting tube 330 may be formed by utilizing another various structures capable of moving the moving inserting tube 330 between the support plate 310 and the conveyor.

The side pressure unit 42 is formed to reciprocate in the direction of the support plate 310 from the outside of the support plate 310 as shown in FIG. The side pressure unit 42 can press the side of the belt paper (A) on the support plate 310 through this to deform the shape of the belt paper (A) (see FIG. 8b ). Specifically, the side pressure unit 42 may press the side of the belt paper (A) to transform the belt paper (A), which has not yet been fully unfolded in a ring shape, to become a symmetrical shape as a whole. Briefly referring to FIG. 1 , the side pressure units 41 and 42 may be fixed on the table 200 , for example, and may be disposed in a position close to the support plate 310 through this. However, since this is also only one arrangement, there is no need to be limited as such, and the side pressure unit 41, 42) can be placed. 1 and 6, the side pressure unit 42 may be formed in a form in which the telescopic part 410 at the end is connected to the driving unit 420, and the driving unit 420 uses various actuator structures that operate linearly. can be formed by Therefore, it is possible to implement a structure in which the stretchable part 410 reciprocates toward the support plate 310 as shown in FIG. 6 . A contact blade 411 in wide contact with the side of the strip (A) pulled out over the support plate 310 may be formed in the stretchable part 410, and the pressure on the front side of the strip (A) using this contact blade 411 can be added The contact blade 411 does not need to be limited to a special shape and may be formed in various structures in which the ends are processed in a straight line.

Referring again to FIGS. 2 to 5, the pressing modules 51 and 52 will be described. The pressurizing modules 51 and 52 are connected to the driving unit 510 and the driving unit 510 arranged side by side with the conveyor module 10 to move the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 in a straight line. It includes a pressure mill 520 . The pressurizing rod 520 can move in this way and insert the packaged goods supplied to the supply conveyor 110 into the belt on the support plate 310 through the moving insertion tube 330 . The pressurizing rod 520 may have a relatively wide distal end, and through this, it may be in smooth contact with the packaged product. However, since the shape of the pressurizing rod 520 may also be variously modified, it is not necessary to understand it limited to the form shown. The pressurizing rod 520 may be formed in various forms that can enter the inside of the above-described moving insertion tube 330 .

In particular, in the present embodiment, the driving unit 510 includes a pair of driving gears 511 and 512 arranged to rotate in the horizontal direction on the outside of the conveyor module 10 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, and the driving gear 511 , 512 may be formed in a structure including a chain 513 for orbiting motion caught between, and accordingly, the pressure mill 520 protrudes to the outside of the chain 513 to the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 ) can periodically pass through the space between That is, the pressure mill 520 is connected to the chain 513 and rotates, and it is possible to periodically pass through the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 to reciprocate. As shown in FIG. 2 , a driving force may be provided by directly connecting the motor 514 to at least one of the driving gears 511 and 512 , and with this structure, the chain 513 and the pressure mill 520 connected to the chain 513 . ) can be adjusted as desired. In particular, by this structure, the pressurizing rod 520 passes through the moving insertion tube 330 while being connected to the chain 513. At this time, through the incision (refer to 330a of FIG. It is possible to smoothly penetrate the moving insertion tube 330 . Therefore, the pressure pusher 520 reciprocates along the chain 513 while moving the inside of the moving insertion tube 330 and the support plate 310 disposed at the front end of the moving insertion tube 330 to put the packaged goods on the belt. It is possible to continuously perform the operation of discharging the combined article and the belt-bonded article to the conveyor. The pressurizing rod 520 may protrude to the outside of the chain 513 in the horizontal direction and move through the upper surface of the conveyor module 10 . The distance between the driving gears 511 and 512 may be appropriately adjusted, and accordingly, a section in which the chain 513 linearly moves may be formed to overlap with the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 . Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 8A to 11 , the operation of discharging the belt, the operation of combining the discharged belt and the packaging article using the pressing modules 51 and 52, and the operation of the entire device including the same will be described in more detail. do.

7A to 8B are operational views illustrating the operation of preparing the folded strip by unfolding the strip with the strip discharge module and the side pressure unit, and FIGS. 9 and 10 are the strip discharge module and the pressurizing unit to combine the packaged goods to the unfolded strip And it is an operation diagram showing the operation of discharging to the conveyor, Figure 11 is a view showing the operation process of the entire automatic belt binding device of Figure 1.

A detailed operation of the present invention will be described based on the structural features described above. Referring to Figure 7a, the strip (A) is stored in the storage box 21 in the folded state as described above. The outlet 20a of the belt paper storage box 21 is opened toward the support plate 310 of the belt paper discharge module 31, and the support plate 310 is disposed to face it. As shown, the belt paper (A) may have a larger area than the support plate 310 in the folded state, and the movable suction nozzle 320 entering and leaving the support plate 310 is biased to one side rather than the center of the belt paper (A). can be arranged to look at. In this state, as shown in Figure 7b, the movable suction nozzle 320 approaches the outlet (20a). The movable suction nozzle 320 penetrates through the support plate 310 and protrudes vertically with respect to the support plate 310 by a driving structure such as the lifting unit 321 and can adsorb the belt paper A. The end of the movable suction nozzle 320 is fixed by adsorbing the outer surface of the strip (A) exposed through the outlet (20a). The movable suction nozzle 320 adsorbing the belt paper (A) moves to its original position directly toward the support plate 310 as shown in FIG. At this time, the movable suction nozzle 320 asymmetrically adsorbs the outer surface of the belt paper (A), and accordingly, the torsion due to the imbalance between the portion on which the suction force acts and the portion on which the absorption force does not occur, so that the belt paper (A) is unfolded as shown. can That is, the movable suction nozzle 320 asymmetrically adsorbs the outer surface of the folded bandage (A) to generate torsion, so that the bandage (A) can be naturally unfolded in the adsorption process. The outlet (20a) may also be formed in a smaller area than the entire area of the folded bandage (A).

At this time, the strip (A) adsorbed to the movable suction nozzle 320 may be erected in contact with the pressing plate 311 as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 8A . That is, while being moved while being adsorbed by the movable suction nozzle 320 , the strip A is supported by the pressure plate 311 protruding to the side of the support plate 310 , and the portion intersecting the pressure plate 311 is along the pressure plate 311 . will be sorted Due to these effects, only the operation of the movable suction nozzle 320 can be discharged while unfolding the folded strip (A) stored in the folded state. The strip (A) discharged in this way is aligned in a more complete symmetrical shape by pressing the side by the side pressing units (41, 42), as shown in FIG. 8b. The side pressure units (41, 42) can press the belt (A) by extending the elastic part 410 at the end from the outside of the support plate (310). As described above, through a contact structure such as a contact blade 411 protruding from the expansion and contraction part 410, the entire side of the strip A located on the support plate 310 can be uniformly pressed, and through this, for example, As shown, the belt (A) can be transformed into a ring shape symmetrical up and down and/or left and right when viewed from the front. The positions of the side pressure units 41 and 42 can be appropriately changed, and through this, the pressure position can be changed as desired.

In this way, the strip (A) can be removed and fixed on the support plate 310. Then, the subsequent process is continuously performed. The moving insertion tube 330 moves toward the support plate 310 as shown in FIG. 9 and inserts the distal end into the unfolded belt paper (A). Accordingly, the band (A) is expanded in a tubular or annular shape corresponding to the moving insertion tube (330). Although shown in a planar form in FIG. 9 , referring to the structure of FIG. 6 and the like described above, the three-dimensional structure of the moving insertion tube 330 and the bandage A through it can be expanded to a shape corresponding to the moving insertion tube 330 . it can be seen that there is The moving insertion tube 330 has one side open by the cutout 330a, but except for it, has a structure connected in a ring shape as a whole, and thus is inserted into the belt paper (A) to expand and expand the belt paper (A) in a ring shape. can do it Even when the bandage (A) does not have some shape in the above-described discharging process, as the moving insertion tube 330 is inserted, the bandage (A) may be deformed so as to be easily coupled to the article. The moving insertion tube 330 can insert only a part of the aforementioned elastic blade 330b inside the belt paper (A), and the elastic blade 330b has an end located on the inner surface of the belt paper (A) so that the inside of the belt paper (A) is inserted. The space and the inner space of the moving insertion tube 330 may be communicated with each other.

When the moving insertion tube 330 is inserted in this way, the pressing module (refer to 51 of FIG. 2) quickly combines the packaging product (B) with the belt paper (A) using the pressing pusher 520 as shown in FIG. 10 . do. The pressure pusher 520 can run in a straight line along the chain 513 and pushes the end of the packaged article (B) supplied to the supply conveyor 110 as shown in FIG. 10 (a) in FIG. 10 (b) It can be passed through the moving insertion tube 330 as shown. Due to this, the packaging article (B) may be inserted into the belt paper (A) on the support plate (310) to be combined with the belt paper (A). In particular, since the pressure pusher 520 can move through the moving insertion tube 330 even in a state connected to the chain 513 through the aforementioned cutout (see 330a in FIGS. 6 and 7A ), the pressure pusher 520 is As shown in (b) of FIG. 10 , the packaging article B is pushed to the end of the moving insertion tube 330 and can be inserted inside the belt paper A on the support plate 310 . As described above, the strip (A) may be cut to fit the circumference of the outer circumferential surface of the packaged article (B) and then connected in a ring shape. can be In addition, since the elastic blade 330b communicates the inner space of the moving insertion tube 330 with the space inside the belt paper (A) to guide the packaging product (B) to the inside of the belt paper (A), the packaging product (B) is the belt paper (A) ) can reach the inner side very smoothly. In this state, the pressurizing rod 520 may temporarily stop its operation, and the movable suction nozzle 320 may remove the suction force it was providing.

That is, the pressure mill 520 may be decelerated at least once before exiting the moving insertion tube 330 . Since the operation of the pressure pusher 520 is controlled by the operation of the chain 513 , the moving speed of the pressure pusher 520 can be increased or decreased by using the above-described driving structure such as a motor. The coupling between the belt paper (A) and the packaging product (B) is more stable in such a way that the pressurizing rod 520 is primarily stopped at the point where the belt paper (A) and the packaging product (B) are combined inside the moving insertion tube (330). can be made to be done with Thereafter, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10, the pressurizing rod 520 is accelerated again and can push the packaging article (B) to which the strip (A) is coupled, and the packaged article (B) packaged with the strip (A) is It may be discharged to the outside by riding on the discharge conveyor 120 .

In this way, the ring-shaped belt paper (A) stored in the folded state can be quickly combined around the packaging article (B) and packaged. As shown in Figure 11, the packaging article (B) can be repeatedly supplied through the supply conveyor 110, and the bonding process of this belt (A) in the space between the supply conveyor 110 and the discharge conveyor 120 It can be iterative. The packaging article (B) to which the strip (A) is coupled may be discharged as a final product along the discharge conveyor 120 or transferred to the next process. As described above, all of the belt paper storage boxes 21 and 22, the pressure modules 51 and 52, the side pressure units 41 and 42, and their corresponding belt paper discharge modules (refer to 31 and 32 in FIG. 2) are plural. Through this, as shown, a plurality of process lines forming a pair on both sides of the left and right sides are formed so that the belt paper (A) bonding can be performed from both sides. At this time, by using the distribution module 60 formed in the supply conveyor 110, the packaging article (B) is selectively supplied to the left or right, and all the plurality of lines can be operated to efficiently pack the strip (A). If necessary, it is also possible to form to combine the strips (A) of different standards on both sides of the line. The distribution module 60 can change the path of the packaged article (B) by using the swing pipe 610 with an empty interior, and arrange the corresponding distribution guide 640 on the supply conveyor 110 to arrange the packaged article (B) ) can be guided. If necessary, it is also possible to adjust the process to be continuously performed without a time error by installing a stopper 611, etc. for controlling the supply speed of the packaged product (B) by opening and closing the path at the end of the swing pipe 610, etc., if necessary. In this way, it is possible to repeatedly supply the packaged goods (B) and automatically combine the strips (A) to the supplied packaged goods (B) and discharge them.
