Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device and method for repairing and cleaning a ceramic wine bottle body, and relates to the technical field of ceramic wine bottle production. Background Art

[0002] At present, the repair and cleaning of ceramic wine bottles are all done manually. The worker holds the bottle body with one hand and uses a scraper to scrape the lines with the other hand. The operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the flatness of the bottle body after scraping varies. Similarly, when cleaning the bottle body, the worker uses a sponge dipped in water to clean the bottle body, which is relatively inefficient and requires a large amount of manpower. There is also a certain requirement for the workers' operational proficiency. Dust is generated during the repair and cleaning process, and a large amount of dust will be inhaled during long-term operation, which is harmful to the health of the operators. Furthermore, manual repair and cleaning of the bottle body can only be done by observing the position of the bottle body with the eyes, which may cause inaccurate positioning and misalignment of the repair and cleaning positions. For the repair and cleaning of the front and rear bottle bodies, manual operation can easily cause different degrees of completion of the front and rear bottle bodies, affecting the subsequent processing process, especially after the workers have worked for a long time, the yield of ceramic wine bottle repair and cleaning is low, resulting in the output of a large number of unqualified products.

[0003] The utility model patent application with application number CN202020080380.5 discloses a bottle cleaning machine, including a support frame as a carrying platform; a conveying device, which is arranged on the support frame, and the conveying device includes a conveyor belt and a screw shaft, the screw shaft is arranged in the middle position of the conveyor belt, and the axis of the screw shaft is parallel to the transportation direction of the conveyor belt; a driving device, which provides power for the conveying device; a first nozzle, which is arranged above the end of the screw shaft; a second nozzle, which is arranged above the end of the screw shaft; a water tank, which is connected to the first nozzle; a booster pump, one output end of the booster pump is connected to the second nozzle, and the other output end of the booster pump is connected to the water tank. This bottle cleaning machine transports the packaged bottles through the cleaning area by setting a conveyor belt, and ensures that the bottles do not collide with each other during the cleaning process through the screw shaft, and sprays them by the first nozzle and blows them dry by the second nozzle, so as to complete the cleaning of the bottle body simply and efficiently, saving time and labor costs. However, this application only achieves simple bottle cleaning through a simple nozzle with a spiral shaft and a conveying device. This application cannot control the degree of cleaning of the bottle body after spraying. Excessive spray water flow may cause damage to the bottle body. Moreover, this application is a single cleaning device and cannot solve the problem of the bottle body needing repair. Moreover, the water spray nozzle cannot locate the position of the bottle body. Errors may occur during long-term operation, and the sprayed water may enter the bottle mouth and cause contamination inside the bottle. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] In this embodiment, the data used are preferred solutions, but are not intended to limit the present invention;

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a ceramic wine bottle body repair and cleaning device and method, the bottle body repair and cleaning device includes a repair station and a cleaning station, a first bottle body gripper and a second bottle body gripper connected to the repair station and the cleaning station in a circumferential direction; the first bottle body gripper and the second bottle body gripper are provided with a clamping mechanism capable of clamping the bottle and a rotary driver capable of driving the clamped bottle to flip and invert; the repair station and the cleaning station are distributed in a linear shape connected end to end on one side of the outer periphery of the transfer mechanism; the bottle body repair and cleaning device is connected to a visual positioning system, and completes the bottle blank repair and cleaning actions by visually positioning the bottle body position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first bottle body gripper and the second bottle body gripper grip several bottles, flip them upside down, and place them on the repair station and the cleaning station with the bottle mouth facing downward. By inverting the bottle mouth, it is possible to avoid contamination of the inside of the bottle body by processing waste during the repair and cleaning operations. Furthermore, due to the structural design of the device of the present invention, the industrial camera connected to the visual positioning system is set at a lower point. In order to facilitate the identification of the bottle mouth position, the bottle body can be inverted by the gripper for convenient positioning.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first bottle body gripping hand and the second bottle body gripping hand include a clamping frame hand, and the clamping frame hand includes a plurality of bottle body gripping parts. The bottle body gripping parts are protruding plates symmetrically arranged in the upper and lower parts. The number of the bottle body gripping parts is equal to the number of bottles gripped by the bottle body gripping hand.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottle body clamping part includes a bottle body clamping upper part and a bottle body clamping lower part, the end of the protruding plate of the bottle body clamping upper part is provided with a vertical rotating screw connected to the top of the bottle body, and the end of the protruding plate of the bottle body clamping lower part is provided with a circular base with the same size as the outer diameter of the bottle body, and the circular base extends toward the lower surface of the bottle body clamping lower plate to form a rolling circular column, and the rolling circular columns of adjacent bottle body clamping parts are connected in a ring shape by a telescopic belt.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first bottle body gripping arm and the second bottle body gripping arm drive several vertical rotating screws connected to the bottle bodies to rotate at the same rotational speed. Furthermore, the rolling circular columns of the adjacent bottle body clamping parts of the present invention are connected in an annular manner through a telescopic belt, so that the lower ends of all bottle bodies can rotate at the same rotational speed, avoiding different rotational speeds due to different upper and lower shapes of the bottle bodies, which affects the bottle body repair and cleaning work.

[0040] In this embodiment, the repair station includes a visual positioning rod and a scraping rod. The end of the visual positioning rod has an L-shaped groove to locate the bottle mouth, and the end of the scraping rod has four protruding branches. Preferably, the L-shaped right-angled groove of the visual positioning rod identifies the bonding position of the bottle mouth and bottle mouth, and the visual positioning rod is engaged to identify the position, forming a bidirectional support. Furthermore, the scraping rod uses the visual positioning system to accurately locate the bonding and suture line for a second time. One of the protruding ends of the scraping rod works at the bonding and suture line, cooperating with the first bottle body clamping arm to complete the repair work.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cleaning station includes a bottle body flushing pipe and a contour blank washing device. The contour blank washing device includes a circular base. A driven shaft is arranged above the circular base to connect the module spring piece at the upper end of the contour blank washing device. The top end of the module spring piece protrudes outward to form a contour sponge cleaning structure.

[0042] In this embodiment, an industrial camera is provided below the bottle washing pipe, and the industrial camera is connected to a visual positioning system to identify the bottle cleaning position. After the bottle washing pipe and the profiling blank washing device locate the washing position, they cooperate with the second bottle body clamping hand to rotate. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driven shaft of the profiling blank washing device cooperates with the vertically rotating screw of the second bottle body clamping hand to rotate in the same direction at a differential speed to avoid excessive friction between the bottle body and the profiling blank washing device during the rotary cleaning process, which may cause damage to the bottle surface glaze. Moreover, due to the existence of the differential speed, the slower rotation speed of the vertical rotating screw can also produce a larger relative displacement, thereby saving energy.

[0043] Preferably, the optimal differential rotation value is obtained by comparing the following test data, with the same rotation time in this test;

[0044] (1) When the differential speed value is in the range of 0.520 / t to 0.522 / t, the bottle cleaning effect is poor, and there are still a few uncleaned areas on the bottle surface;

[0045] (2) When the differential speed value is in the range of 0.523 / t to 0.525 / t, the bottle cleaning effect is good and the bottle surface is not damaged.

[0046] (3) When the differential speed value is in the range of 0.526 / t to 0.528 / t, the bottle cleaning effect is good, but there is a phenomenon that excess glaze on the bottle surface is washed away.

[0047] In summary, the best bottle molding effect is achieved when the differential rotation value is controlled within the range of 0.523 / t-0.525 / t.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bottle body is transported from the bottle body repair station to the bottle body cleaning station through a transfer mechanism. The transfer mechanism includes a sliding frame plate and upper and lower clamping parts. The lower clamping part clamps the bottom of the bottle body, and the upper clamping part clamps the lower end of the bottle mouth; this forms an effective fixing function, which is convenient for cooperating with the second bottle body clamping hand to take the bottle.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sliding frame plate of the transfer mechanism is connected to one side of the conveying transmission frame, and the two sides of the conveying transmission frame are connected by a conveying transmission shaft, and the adjacent conveying transmission shafts are arranged at a distance of 10-15 cm; in this embodiment, the conveying transmission frame adopts a double-layer transmission shaft setting, and the widest diameter of the bottle body is 25 cm, which prevents the bottle body from falling off and breaking directly on the ground during transportation.

[0050] Furthermore, the present invention discloses a method for using a ceramic wine bottle body repairing and cleaning device, comprising the following steps:

[0051] S1: The first bottle gripper grips several bottles and turns them upside down at the bottle trimming station. The visual positioning rod at the bottle trimming station transmits visual signals to the visual positioning system. The visual positioning system identifies the bonding position between the bottle mouth and the bottle body, and limits the position of the bottle through the visual positioning rod. After the bottle position is determined, the second precise positioning of the scraping rod working position is performed, and the first bottle gripper performs a contour-copying rotation action to complete the automatic bottle trimming action.

[0052] S2: The first bottle gripper clamps the repaired bottle to the transfer mechanism, and transfers the bottle from the clamping part of the first bottle gripper to the clamping part of the transfer mechanism through visual positioning. The transfer mechanism holding the bottle is operated by the conveying transmission frame to the bottle body cleaning station.

[0053] S3: The second bottle gripper grips several bottles and places them at the bottle washing station. After the bottle washing station is connected to the visual positioning system and the industrial camera identifies the position of the bottles, the bottle washing pipe and the profiling blank washing device of the bottle washing station operate simultaneously, cooperating with the second bottle gripper to perform the profiling trajectory to complete the automatic bottle blank washing action.

[0054] S4: The second bottle body gripper transports the several blanks that have completed the washing action to the conveying transmission frame, waiting for the next cycle to enter the next assembly line.

[0055] In this embodiment, the visual positioning system receives the photographic data from the industrial camera and the visual positioning rod, processes it and feeds it back to the first bottle gripper and the second bottle gripper to obtain preliminary positioning data. Preferably, the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are constructed based on the position of the ceramic wine bottle body.

[0056] Furthermore, the repair station and cleaning station cooperate with the visual positioning system for secondary precise positioning, and the optimal data positioning direction is obtained through the following secondary positioning test data adjustment.

[0057] (1) X direction: 0.1642, Y direction: 0.272, Z direction: 151.3386;

[0058] (2) X direction: 0.1673, Y direction: 0.282, Z direction: 151.4037;

[0059] (3) X direction: 0.1696, Y direction: 0.292, Z direction: 151.4186;

[0060] (4) X direction: 0.1712, Y direction: 0.301, Z direction: 151.4832.

[0061] Through comparison and adjustment of the above test data, after secondary precise positioning, it was found that the most accurate positioning for bottle body repair and cleaning is 0.1696 in the X direction, 0.292 in the Y direction, and 151.4186 in the Z direction.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
