Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a terminal grabbing mechanism of automatic bottle loading equipment. Background Art

[0002] The daily chemical industry is developing rapidly, and most of the glass jars used are decorated with bottle and jar decals. After the bottle and jar decals are processed, the bottles and jars need to be transported to the entrance of the baking kiln through a flat chain, and the bottles and jars are manually placed in the baking kiln; because the baking kiln is a heating device, it radiates heat to the surrounding environment seriously, especially in summer when the temperature is higher, resulting in a poor working environment, which makes everyone talk about it with fear, resulting in a high turnover rate of personnel in this section. The traditional way of loading bottles is manual loading, because people's physical strength and attention will gradually decline over time, and rework of bottles caused by collisions during the loading process often occurs, and the working environment is poor, which affects both the product qualification rate and the staff turnover rate and corporate image. Due to problems such as product rework and staff turnover, the company has suffered great losses. Utility Model Content

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2The end grabbing mechanism of the automatic bottle loading equipment of this embodiment is used for simultaneously grabbing multiple glass bottles 1 that are transported in a row and continuously arranged on a flat chain, and includes a horizontal beam 2, a slide rail assembly 3, a lifting cylinder 4, a pneumatic clamp 5, a clamping plate 6, and a clamping block 7. The guide rail of the slide rail assembly 3 is arranged at the bottom of the beam along the entire length of the horizontal beam 2. Multiple lifting cylinders 4 are slidably hoisted under the horizontal beam 2 along the guide rail through a slider, and are arranged at corresponding intervals along the length of the beam according to the position of each glass bottle 1 to be grabbed. The extension direction of the lifting cylinder 4 is downward, and a pneumatic clamp 5 is installed at the execution end. The clamping blocks 7 are respectively installed on the two clamping jaws of the pneumatic clamp 5 through the clamping plate 6. The opposite end surfaces of a pair of clamping blocks 7 on each pneumatic clamp 5 are symmetrically located on both sides of the bottle mouth of each glass bottle 1, and are opened or closed by the pneumatic clamp 5. When opened, there is a gap between the pneumatic clamp 5 and the glass bottle 1, and when closed, it is clamped on both sides of the bottle mouth of the glass bottle 1.

[0018] In the specific implementation, the corresponding structural settings also include:

[0019] The horizontal beam 2 is a standard aluminum profile, which is light in weight and high in strength.

[0020] A connecting piece 21 is provided at the upper end of the horizontal beam 2 for assembly with an external device. The external device is a robot. The end gripping mechanism of the automatic bottle loading device as a whole serves as an end effector and is installed at the end of the robot through the connecting piece 21.

[0021] The connecting piece 21 is an angle code, and a reinforcing connecting plate 22 is also provided at the upper end of the horizontal beam 2, which is connected between the end of the robot and the horizontal beam 2.

[0022] The clamping plate 6 and the clamping block 7 are in an L-shaped structure as a whole, the clamping block 7 is the horizontal part of the L-shaped structure, and the clamping plate 6 is the vertical part of the L-shaped structure.

[0023] The clamping block is made of polyurethane, and has a large friction coefficient with the bottle mouth, providing reliable clamping force. A horizontal concave V-groove is formed in the center of the end face that contacts the bottle mouth. The V-groove is clamped around the bottle mouth, and the groove wall contacts the outer wall of the bottle mouth, which can effectively accommodate the position error of the glass bottle and ensure the position consistency of the glass bottle after being grasped.

[0024] The purpose of slidably hoisting multiple lifting cylinders 4 under the horizontal beam 2 through sliders along the guide rails is to enable the arrangement spacing of each lifting cylinder along the length of the beam to be adjusted through the slide rail assembly to accommodate glass bottles and jars of different specifications and models, so that they can be arranged at corresponding intervals along the length of the beam according to the positions of each glass bottle and jar 1 to be grabbed.

[0025] Working Example:

[0026] According to the arrangement spacing of the glass bottles on the flat chain, the arrangement spacing between each lifting mechanism is adjusted accordingly through the slide rail assembly to keep the two consistent. When applied, the entire mechanism can be assembled on the external equipment through the connecting parts, and the external equipment can drive the displacement. The external equipment can be a robot. The entire mechanism moves with the external equipment to the top of the glass bottles transported by the flat chain. Each lifting mechanism is arranged along the conveying direction and suspended one by one above the glass bottles at the location. After that, the lifting cylinder extends downward to drive the pneumatic clamp to move downward. The clamping block is arranged around the bottle mouth of the glass bottle. After that, the pneumatic clamp is closed to drive each clamping block to clamp the bottle mouth. After the mechanism completes the clamping of the glass bottle, the external equipment drives the entire mechanism and the clamped glass bottles to lift, separate from the flat chain, and transfer to the next station, such as the conveyor belt at the entrance of the baking kiln. After that, the pneumatic clamp opens and the lifting cylinder retracts. This cycle is repeated.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
