This invention relates to an apparatus and method for inserting and unloading stacked gloves into a packing box, more especially, automation inserting and unloading stacked gloves into a packing box.
CN 202728596 U discloses a device for quickly sending finished gloves into packing boxes, which comprises a glove transition box and a transition box support groove, wherein the glove transition box is provided with a movable cover plate and installed on inner guide rails on both sides of the transition box support groove; an outer guide rail is arranged on one end of the transition box support groove, a transition box drive cylinder and a glove stopper drive cylinder are arranged on the other end of the transition box support groove, and the glove stopper drive cylinder is provided with a glove stopper. When the device is operated, the gloves are compressed and stacked into a tube structure which is formed by the glove transition box and the movable cover plate, wherein openings are formed in both ends of the tube structure, and the periphery of the tube structure is sealed; then the glove transition box is pushed into the glove packing boxes by the transition box drive cylinder, and the glove stopper is controlled by the glove stopper drive cylinder to block the gloves; and finally, the glove transition box is pulled out, so that the gloves are kept in the glove packing boxes.
Existing art has a number of drawbacks that have yet been addressed. In the event that groups of gloves are to be packaged in boxes, a fixed number of gloves are stacked before being packaged. During the pulling of transition box, there will be gloves pull out with the transition box. This happens due to friction between the stacked gloves and the transition box. Besides, the gloves and packing box can be damaged during the pulling of transition box. Damage occurs in the existing art when gloves stick in transition box or pulling direction got mistake. Furthermore, improper layout of stacked gloves in packing box can cause difficulty in closing of box.
The above-mentioned drawbacks are overcome, and improvements are achieved, by the present invention which introduce conveyor system to avoid the friction of the unloading between the stacked gloves to the conveyor system and the conveyor system to the packing box, the damage of the gloves and packing box can also be prevented.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for inserting and unloading stacked gloves into a packing box, comprising a first embodiment consists of; an upper belt conveyor driven by a servo motor with a dual function rotary clamp cylinder at the shorter side to facilitate both rotating and lifting function; a bottom belt conveyor as a loading platform for the stacked gloves located below the upper belt conveyor which is driven by a servo motor; supported at the bottom by a compact guide cylinder to facilitate lifting and compressing function; wherein the entire bottom belt conveyor, servo motor and compact guide cylinder is mounted proximately to the rotary clamp cylinder; upon the first embodiment insert to the desire depth of the packing box, both the servo motor will initial the rotating of the upper belt conveyor in anti-clockwise direction while the bottom belt conveyor in the opposite direction (clockwise direction) to create a push force to the stacked gloves out from the belt conveyor into the packing box which achieve the objectives of the disclosure.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for inserting and unloading a stacked gloves of a first embodiment into a packing box, comprising steps of inserting the stacked gloves into the packing box; unloading the stacked gloves with the upper belt conveyor rotating in anti-clockwise direction while the bottom belt conveyor rotating in the opposite direction (clockwise direction), to push out the stacked gloves without inducing friction between the stacked gloves to the belt conveyors and from the belt conveyors to the packing box during unloading to prevent damage; lifting the first embodiment without the stacked gloves from the packing box simultaneously with unloading while the stacked gloves being push into the packing box; and the first embodiment return to its initial position and thereafter the process for inserting, unloading and lifting repeat.
The features of the invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Embodiment of the present disclosure will now be described more detailed hereinafter with the reference to the accompanying drawings, in which not all the embodiments of the invention are shown. Indeed, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be constructed or construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein: rather these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout, the preferred embodiment of the invention may also be designed for use with other sizes and types of stacked gloves, packing box, cylinders and motors.

Another aspect of at least one embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for inserting and unloading a stacked gloves 500 of a first embodiment into a packing box 400, comprising steps of: inserting the stacked gloves 500 into the packing box 400; unloading the stacked gloves 500 with the upper belt conveyor 101 rotating in anti-clockwise direction while the bottom belt conveyor 102 rotating in the opposite direction (clockwise direction), to push out the stacked gloves 500 without inducing friction between the stacked gloves 500 to the belt conveyors 101, 102 and from the belt conveyors 101, 102 to the packing box 400 during unloading to prevent damage; lifting the first embodiment without the stacked gloves 500 from the packing box simultaneously with unloading while the stacked gloves 500 being push into the packing box 400; and the first embodiment return to its initial position and thereafter the process for inserting, unloading and lifting repeat.
An alternative method, inserting and unloading with a packing box 400 moving toward the first embodiment.
