[0002] The emergence of bottled water has changed people's long-standing drinking habits. Bottled water and water dispensers have entered thousands of households, bringing convenience and fashion to people. In the environment where the capacity of the bottled water market is growing year by year, a large number of bottled water companies with scale have also emerged. However, due to the large volume of bottled water, special packaging methods, and the influence of factors such as barrel recycling, there are certain limitations in production and transportation. For example, in terms of the loading and unloading methods of bottled water, the larger companies in the bottled water industry have invested in the use of palletizers, that is, the bottled water on the assembly line is stacked on pallets for storage through palletizers, which reduces the labor intensity of personnel. However, manual loading and unloading is still used when loading bottled water. No company in the industry has made a breakthrough in the loading link, and the labor intensity is still huge.

A vehicle locking device 18 is provided at the wheels at the bottom of the carriage 1. The front end of a mechanical arm 21 is plugged into the fixing groove 16 and is locked by the safety lock 7. Locked and fixed, a point laser transmitter 20 is arranged on the mechanical arm 21, a slide is arranged under the mechanical arm 21, the slide is slidably matched with the moving rod 22, a guide chain 11 is arranged on the moving rod 22, one end of the guide chain 11 is connected to the counterweight 12, and the other end of the guide chain 11 is connected to the water clamping device 13 through the guide chain assembly 14, the moving rod 22 is positioned and fixed by the positioning and fixing guide rod 15, the water clamping device 13 is connected and fixed to the positioning and fixing guide rod 15 to prevent the water clamping device 13 from shaking during the up and down water grabbing process, the rear part of the mechanical arm 21 is connected to the rotating device 10 through the top guide assembly 4 and the fine-tuning assembly 5, the rotating device 10 is provided with a fine-tuning device 19, and the fine-tuning assembly 5 is connected to the fine-tuning handle 6.
[0020] The mechanical arm 21 is provided with a slide device 3 .
[0021] The water clamping device 13 slides in the slideway on the mechanical arm 21 through the moving rod, the conveying chain and the push rod; the water clamping device 13 adopts a mechanical clamping claw.
[0022] The side of the water clamping device 13 is also provided with a suction cup, which is adsorbed and matched with the interlayer plate.
[0023] The robotic arm 21 is mounted on the guide roller 8, and the guide roller 8 is arranged on the upper and lower slide guides 7. The middle part of the upper and lower slide guides 7 cooperates with the top guide assembly 4 to adjust the height of the robotic arm. Bull's eye bearings 9 are arranged at both ends of the bottom of the upper and lower slide guides 7, and the left and right positions of the robotic arm are adjusted by the bull's eye bearings 9.
[0024] The operation process of this specific implementation is as follows:
[0025] 1. The water-filling vehicles of the bottled water plant are all fixed vehicles. A (force point) fixing groove 16 is installed at the front upper part of each vehicle compartment, and a partition board is installed on both sides of the vehicle compartment;
[0026] 2. The water truck stops at the designated area, and the point laser transmitter 20 determines whether the vehicle position is within the acceptable range. When the vehicle is within the acceptable range, the vehicle locking device 18 opens to prevent the vehicle from moving;
[0027] 3. Start the equipment, and adjust the height of the equipment and the left and right direction of the mechanical arm with the fine-tuning handle 6 according to the positioning indication of the point laser transmitter 20 (in addition to the mechanical arm function, the mechanical arm is also equipped with a slideway inside, and the moving rod of the water clamping device 13 moves back and forth in the slideway to complete the bottled water stacking action). After adjusting the position, the mechanical arm 21 extends into the interior of the carriage 1 until the mechanical arm 21 reaches the fixing groove 16 of the carriage 1, and the safety lock 17 automatically opens to fix and lock the equipment and the vehicle at the same time;
[0028] 4. The bottled water begins to pass through the conveyor chain to the bottom of the water clamping device 13, and is adjusted into two rows through automatic adjustment devices such as the conveyor chain and push rod, with 8 barrels in each row, for a total of 16 barrels of water. The water clamping device 13 clamps the 16 barrels of water, and cooperates with the guide chain 11 and the counterweight device 12 to clamp the 16 barrels of water. Since the water clamping device 13 is connected and fixed to the fixed guide rod 15, the position and operation errors caused by the swing of the water clamping device 13 during the up and down water grabbing process can be avoided; then the guide chain 11 and the counterweight device 12 are used to transfer the 16 barrels of water into the carriage in the slideway of the mechanical arm. At this time, the first layer of water has been automatically stacked (a total of three layers need to be stacked). At this time, the suction cup cylinder on the water clamping device 13 lowers the partition boards on both sides of the carriage to prepare for stacking the second layer of water;
[0029] 5. The robotic arm returns to re-grip 16 barrels of water and repeats step 4 to complete the stacking of the second layer of water. It repeats again to complete the stacking of the third layer of water, and so on to complete the stacking of the entire truckload of water.
[0030] Since 16 barrels of water weigh about 250 kg, it is difficult to stack them without the support of the fixed slot in the carriage. Therefore, a fixed slot is provided in the carriage of this specific embodiment, and the mechanical arm is fixed with the fixed slot. A slide is installed in the mechanical arm, and after the mechanical claw grabs the water, the conveying function can be completed through the slide, and the barreled water can be stacked in place.
[0031] The specific implementation method has a reasonable structural design, low manufacturing cost, good equipment stability, and can automatically clamp and stack water buckets through a robotic arm and a water clamping device. The entire device has a reasonable structural design and a high degree of automation, which saves labor costs and management costs for bottled water production companies and is highly practical.
[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
[0033] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
