Empty barrel return mechanism and empty barrel return method

Abstract

The invention relates to mechanical devices. An empty barrel reflux mechanism comprises a feeding conveying belt, a fixed sleeve and a material flow direction guide mechanism, wherein the material flow direction guide mechanism is positioned at the discharge end of the feeding conveying belt; the fixed sleeve is provided with a first magnet, a blind hole and a pair of hanging lugs, wherein the blind hole can be sleeved on a material barrel; the material flow direction guide mechanism comprises a fixed table and two shunting mechanisms, wherein the two shunting mechanism are distributed at thetwo ends of the fixed table which are perpendicular to the advancing direction of the feeding conveying belt; each shunting mechanism comprises a lifting table, a stop rod, a second magnet and a pairof supporting rods, wherein the lifting table is connected to the fixed table in a butt joint mode, the stop rod is located at one end, far away from the fixed table, of the lifting table and is connected to the fixed table, the second magnet is connected to the stop rod, and the pair of supporting rods for supporting the fixed sleeve to be separated from the material barrel when the fixed sleeveis placed on the lifting table and the lifting table descends along with the lifting table; the pole polarities of the second magnets on the two shunting mechanisms face the fixed table are same; andthe lifting table comprises a tabletop and a tabletop lifting air cylinder which drives the tabletop to ascend and descend. According to the empty barrel reflux mechanism, the problem that a large amount of manpower is consumed by empty barrel reflux is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to mechanical equipment, in particular to an empty barrel return mechanism and an empty barrel return method. Background technique [0002] In the automatic production process of traditional Chinese medicine decoction, the used barrel, that is, the empty barrel, needs to be returned to the set position. According to the different medicines stored in the barrel, the destination that the empty barrel needs to reach will be different. The existing method of returning empty barrels is to put the barrels on the feeding conveyor belt to transport them to the barrel raw material storage workshop, and then manually distinguish the different barrels to transfer to the corresponding raw material storage places (hereinafter referred to as Empty barrel return), manual empty barrel return has the disadvantage of low automation and consumes a lot of manpower. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention aims to provide an empty b...
