Description

[0002] In the food, medicine and other industries, the bottle transmission structure is very common in the production and automated packaging of bottles. When transferring bottles from one production line to another production line, or transferring bottles from one transmission line to another transmission line at a certain angle, the commonly used means is to achieve this through the rotation movement of the bottle picking robot. For bottles placed horizontally or upright bags, the bottle picking robot will cause the direction of the bottle mouth or bag mouth to change during the rotation process, which is not conducive to the subsequent packing work. In addition, the bottle picking robot needs to move up and down when picking and placing bottles. The up and down movement of the existing robot is usually driven by a cylinder, and the rotation movement is usually driven by a motor. To achieve the transfer at a certain angle, the complete action sequence is: descending, adsorption--rising--rotating--descending, releasing--rising--resetting, with many actions and low efficiency; the control program is also more complicated, and the matching accuracy requirements are also high.

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Embodiment 1

[0047] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism disclosed in this embodiment includes an upper turntable 21, a lower turntable 22, a driving device for driving the lower turntable 22, and a plurality of bottle suction mechanisms 3. The upper turntable 21 and the lower turntable 22 are both rotatably connected to the first frame 26. The rotating shaft 24 of the lower turntable 22 is vertically arranged, and the rotating shaft 24 is connected to the driving device. The driving device is a motor, and the motor is connected to the rotating shaft 24 through a reducer 23.

[0048] The upper turntable 21 is rotatably connected to the vertical eccentric shaft 25, and the eccentric shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the first frame 26; the rotating shaft 24 and the eccentric shaft 25 are eccentrically arranged, so the upper turntable 21 and the lower turntable 22 are also eccentrically arranged. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 24 is a hollow structure, the lower end of the inner fixed shaft 27 is fixedly connected to the first frame 26, the upper end of the inner fixed shaft 27 passes through the rotating shaft 24 and is fixedly connected to the eccentric block 29, the lower end of the eccentric shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the eccentric block 29, and the upper end of the eccentric shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the first frame 26.

[0049] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the bottle suction mechanism 3 includes a bottle suction rod 31, a suction cup assembly 32 and a horizontal short arm 34. The upper end of the bottle suction rod 31 vertically passes through the circular hole on the lower rotating disk 22, and the bottle suction rod 31 is gap-matched with the circular hole on the lower rotating disk 22. The lower end of the bottle suction rod 31 is a free end, which is connected to the suction cup assembly 32. To ensure the adsorption capacity, the suction cup assembly 32 includes two suction cups.

[0050] The upper end of the bottle suction rod 31 is fixedly connected to one end of a horizontal short arm 34, and the other end of the horizontal short arm 34 is rotatably connected to a vertical rod 33, and the vertical rod 33 is mounted on the upper turntable 21. The horizontal short arm 34 can rotate in a horizontal plane around the vertical rod 33. The other end of the horizontal short arm 34 can be hinged or bearing-connected to the vertical rod 33.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottle suction rods 31 of the plurality of bottle suction mechanisms 3 are arranged at equal intervals around the rotation center of the lower turntable 22 , each bottle suction mechanism 3 is equipped with a vertical rod 33 , and the plurality of vertical rods 33 are arranged at equal intervals around the rotation center of the upper turntable 21 .

[0052] The vertical line segment between the center line of the bottle suction rod 31 and the center line of the corresponding vertical rod 33 is parallel to the vertical line segment between the center line of the upper turntable 21 and the center line of the lower turntable 22. The center distance between the bottle suction rod 31 and the corresponding vertical rod 33 is equal to the eccentricity between the upper turntable 21 and the lower turntable 22; the center distance between the bottle suction rod 31 and the lower turntable 22 is equal to the center distance between the vertical rod 33 and the upper turntable 21.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, is the rotation center of the lower turntable 22, is the rotation center of the upper turntable 21, It is the vertical line segment between the center line of the bottle suction rod 31 and the center line of the lower rotating disk 22. It is a vertical line segment between the center line of the vertical rod 33 and the center line of the upper turntable 21; It is a vertical line segment between the center line of the bottle suction rod 31 and the center line of the vertical rod 33; It is a vertical line segment between the center line of the upper turntable 21 and the center line of the lower turntable 22.

[0054] It can be seen that Figure 6 middle, Parallel and equal, , A parallelogram can be formed. As the lower turntable 22 rotates, Always unchanged, corresponding The direction of The direction represents the direction of the horizontal short arm 34. Therefore, during the rotation of the lower turntable 22, the direction of the horizontal short arm 34 remains unchanged, and it only moves in translation without self-rotation. The bottle suction rod 31 is fixedly connected to the horizontal short arm 34, so the bottle suction rod 31 and the suction cup assembly 32 move in translation in the horizontal plane without self-rotation. During the transfer process, the bottle is sucked and fixed by the suction cup assembly 32, so the bottle mouth direction can be kept unchanged during the transfer process.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bottle sucking rod 31 or the vertical rod 33 is an automatic telescopic arm, and the telescopic function can be realized by a linear cylinder or a linear motor. If the bottle sucking rod 31 is telescopic, the suction cup assembly 32 can be driven to move up and down; if the vertical rod 33 is telescopic, the bottle sucking rod 31 and the suction cup assembly 32 can be driven to move up and down synchronously.

[0056] Combine the following Figure 1-7 The working principle of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 in this embodiment is introduced as follows:

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the longitudinal conveying mechanism 5 conveys the bottles 4 to the bottle suction station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 ; and the transverse conveying mechanism 6 starts from the bottle placing station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 .

[0058] The motor drives the lower turntable 22 to rotate, and the rotation of the lower turntable 22 drives the bottle suction rod 31 to rotate around the rotating shaft 24, and the bottle suction rod 31 rotates around the rotating shaft 24, pulling the vertical rod 33 and the upper turntable 21 to rotate around the eccentric shaft 25;

[0059] The bottle sucking mechanism 3 rotates with the lower turntable 22; when the bottle sucking mechanism 3 is about to rotate to the bottle sucking station, the vertical rod 33 or the bottle sucking rod 31 moves downward for a certain distance, at which time the bottle is just delivered to the bottle sucking station, and the suction cup assembly 32 just moves downward to contact with the bottle, and at the same time, the suction cup assembly 32 sucks the bottle with negative pressure, and the bottle sucking rod 31 or the vertical rod 33 retracts upward to reset;

[0060] The lower turntable 22 drives the bottle sucking mechanism 3 to continue rotating. When the bottle sucking mechanism 3 is about to rotate to the bottle placing position, the bottle sucking rod 31 moves downward for a certain distance. At this time, the bottle is just sent to the bottle placing position by the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10. At the same time, the suction cup assembly 32 releases the bottle to realize the bottle transfer.

[0061] The lower turntable 22 rotates in the same direction continuously, and the multiple bottle suction mechanisms 3 of the lower turntable 22 transport the delivered bottles 4 one by one.

[0062] The rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism of this embodiment can change the transmission direction of the bottles, avoid the transmission line being too long, make the on-site equipment layout more compact, and save the space occupied by the equipment; and during the transfer process, the direction of the bottle mouth can be ensured to remain unchanged, which is conducive to subsequent packaging.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the up and down movement of the suction cup assembly 32 in the first embodiment is achieved by the cylinder or motor driving the bottle suction rod 31 or the vertical rod 33 to extend and retract. In this embodiment, the up and down movement of the suction cup assembly 32 is achieved by a cylindrical cam.

[0065] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the cylindrical cam 1 is coaxially arranged below the lower turntable 22 , and the cylindrical cam 1 is fixedly connected to the first frame 26 via a hollow fixed shaft 28 ; the rotating shaft 24 of the lower turntable 22 passes through the hollow fixed shaft 28 .

[0066] like Fig.10 As shown, a closed curved groove 11 is provided on the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical cam 1. The cam profile of the cylindrical cam 1 is composed of two base circle profiles 13 and two convex profiles 12. The two ends of the base circle profile 13 are smoothly transitioned with one of the convex profiles 12 respectively. The base circle profile 13 is a section of circular arc coaxial with the cylindrical cam 1. When the roller moves along the base circle profile 13, the axial displacement of the roller in the cylindrical cam 1 remains unchanged. The convex profile 12 includes a push stroke profile and a return stroke profile. With the base circle profile as the displacement zero point, when the roller moves along the push stroke profile, the axial displacement of the roller in the cylindrical cam 1 gradually increases; when the roller moves along the return stroke profile, the axial displacement of the roller in the cylindrical cam 1 gradually decreases until it returns to the displacement zero point. The displacement of the roller mentioned in this article refers to the displacement of the roller in the axial direction of the cylindrical cam 1, and does not include its displacement in the circumferential direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the cylindrical cam 1 has no long stop, that is, the roller running in the curved groove 11 does not stop at the maximum vertical displacement.

[0068] The push stroke profile of the convex profile 12 is mirror-symmetrical to the return stroke profile, and the contour lines of the two convex profiles 12 are the same. The two convex profiles 12 are arranged 90° apart in the circumferential direction to realize the vertical transfer of the bottles. The two convex profiles 12 are respectively located at the bottle suction station and the bottle placement station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10.

[0069] like Figure 8 , 9 The bottle suction mechanism 3 in the embodiment shown further includes a roller bearing mounting block 36 and a roller 35 adapted to the curved groove 11 of the cylindrical cam 1 . The roller 35 is mounted on the roller bearing mounting block 36 via a wheel axle, and the roller 35 is placed in the curved groove 11 .

[0070] like Fig. 9 , 10 As shown, the bottle suction rod 31 passes through the through hole on the roller bearing mounting block 36, and the bottle suction rod 31 can rotate relative to the roller bearing mounting block 36, but cannot move up and down relative to the roller bearing mounting block 36. Fig.11 As shown, two limit plates can be provided on the bottle suction rod 31, and the two limit plates are respectively located above and below the roller bearing mounting block 36. The outer diameter of the limit plates is larger than the diameter of the through hole on the roller bearing mounting block 36. In this way, by moving the roller bearing mounting block 36 up and down, the bottle suction rod 31 can be driven to move up and down synchronously, and the bottle suction rod 31 can also rotate relative to the roller bearing mounting block 36.

[0071] The roller bearing mounting block 36 is connected with a vertical guide rod 37, which passes through the circular hole on the lower rotating disk 22, and the guide rod 37 is gap-matched with the circular hole on the lower rotating disk 22. The center distance between the guide rod 37 and the lower rotating disk 22 is equal to the center distance between the bottle suction rod 31 and the lower rotating disk 22. A guide sleeve 38 adapted to the guide rod 37 and the bottle suction rod 31 is fixedly connected to the lower rotating disk 22, and the guide rod 37 and the bottle suction rod 31 pass through the corresponding guide sleeves 38.

[0072] In this embodiment, the other end of the horizontal short arm 34 is movably mounted on the vertical rod 33 , so that the horizontal short arm 34 can rotate and move up and down relative to the vertical rod 33 .

[0073] When the roller 35 moves on the push stroke profile of the convex profile 12, the roller 35 drives the roller bearing mounting block 36 and the bottle suction rod 31 to move downward. When the roller 35 moves on the return stroke profile of the convex profile 12, the roller 35 drives the roller bearing mounting block 36 and the bottle suction rod 31 to move upward.

[0074] The working principle of the cylindrical cam 1 of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 in this embodiment guiding the suction cup assembly 32 to move up and down is as follows:

[0075] like Figure 8As shown, the motor drives the lower turntable 22 to rotate, and then drives the bottle suction rod 31 and the roller 35 to rotate synchronously, so that the roller 35 moves along the curved groove 11 of the cylindrical cam 1. When the roller 35 moves along the base circle contour 13 of the cylindrical cam 1, the roller 35 has no displacement in the axial direction of the cylindrical cam 1, so at this time the bottle suction rod 31 has no vertical displacement, and the suction cup assembly 32 has no vertical displacement;

[0076] When the roller 35 continues to move to the first convex contour 12 of the cylindrical cam 1, the roller 35 moves downward along the convex contour 12 first and then immediately moves upward, thereby driving the roller bearing mounting block 36 and the bottle suction rod 31 connected thereto to move downward first and then immediately move upward; during this process, when the bottle suction rod 31 moves downward to the maximum stroke, the suction cup assembly 32 synchronously performs a negative pressure suction action, thereby sucking the bottle 4 away;

[0077] When the roller 35 continues to move to the second convex contour 12 of the cylindrical cam 1, the roller 35 moves downward along the convex contour 12 first and then immediately moves upward, thereby driving the bottle suction rod 31 connected thereto to move downward first and then immediately move upward; in this process, when the bottle suction rod 31 moves to the maximum stroke, the suction cup assembly 32 simultaneously releases, thereby putting down the bottle 4 and realizing the transfer of the bottle 4.

[0078] In this embodiment, the curved groove 11 of the cylindrical cam 1 is used to guide the displacement of the bottle picking robot in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the bottle picking robot. The entire up and down movement is realized by the structure, with low energy consumption, no need to write a control program, and high coordination accuracy.

[0079] Embodiment 3

[0080] This embodiment discloses a horizontal installation machine, such as Fig.12 As shown, in addition to the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 in the first or second embodiment, it also includes a column conveying mechanism 5, a transverse conveying mechanism 6 and a aligner 7. The column conveying mechanism 5 is used to convey the bottles 4 to the bottle suction station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10; the transverse conveying mechanism 6 starts from the bottle placing station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 and then conveys them to the aligner 7. The rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10 is used to transfer the bottles 4 conveyed by the column conveying mechanism 5 to the transverse conveying mechanism 6, and the column direction is perpendicular to the transverse direction.

[0081] like Fig.13 , 14 As shown, the aligner 7 includes a bottle pushing mechanism 71 and a bottle storage area 72. The transverse conveying mechanism 6 passes transversely below the bottle pushing mechanism 71, and the transverse conveying mechanism 6 passes through one end of the bottle storage area 72. The placement area of ​​the transverse conveying mechanism 6 is at the same height as the bottle storage area 72, so that the bottles 4 can slide from the conveyor belt 61 to the bottle storage area 72.

[0082] The bottle pushing mechanism 71 is used to push the bottles 4 on the transverse conveying mechanism 6 horizontally to the bottle storage area 72. The bottle pushing mechanism 71 includes a bottle pushing plate 711, a lifting mechanism for driving the bottle pushing plate 711 to move vertically, and a horizontal moving mechanism for driving the bottle pushing plate 711 to move in a column direction, wherein the column direction is perpendicular to the horizontal direction.

[0086] like Fig.16 As shown, the bottle pushing plate 711 has a plurality of notches 7110 for avoiding the column-oriented partitions, and the notches 7110 open at the lower edge of the bottle pushing plate 711. The column-oriented partitions are conducive to ensuring that the bottle 4 still maintains column-oriented movement during the pushing process. During the pushing process of the bottle pushing plate 711, the notches 7110 are set to enable the bottle pushing plate 711 to avoid the column-oriented partitions, thereby preventing the column-oriented partitions from blocking the bottle pushing plate 711.

[0087] In this embodiment, the horizontal movement mechanism for driving the bottle pushing plate 711 to move in the column direction includes a beam 712 and a driving mechanism for driving the beam 712 to move in the column direction. The driving mechanism includes a motor 716 and a screw nut transmission mechanism. Both ends of the beam 712 are slidably connected to the second frame 73 through a slider. The beam 712 is fixedly connected to a nut 714 of the screw nut transmission mechanism. The screw nut transmission mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor 716 into horizontal movement of the beam 712 in the column direction.

[0088] The lifting mechanism is installed on the crossbeam 712, and the lower end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the bottle pushing plate 711. The lifting mechanism selects a vertical cylinder 713, and the piston rod of the vertical cylinder 713 is fixedly connected to the bottle pushing plate 711. The number of the lifting mechanisms can be set to 1, 2 or more according to the length of the bottle pushing plate 711.

[0089] like Fig.17As shown, in another embodiment, the horizontal loading machine further includes a packing robot 8, a packaging box conveying mechanism 91 and a box opening machine 9. The packaging box conveying mechanism 91 is provided with a box opening station, and the box opening machine 9 is arranged at the box opening station. The box opening machine 9 is used to open the box opening of the packaging box 92; the box opening machine 9 adopts the box opening machine in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The packing robot 8 is used to load the bottles 4 in the bottle storage area 72 into the packaging box 92 with the box opening opened on the packaging box conveying mechanism 91.

[0090] Since a number of bottles 4 are placed flat in the bottle storage area 72, Fig.17 , 18 As shown, the packing robot 8 includes a plurality of packing suction cup assemblies 81 arranged at intervals in a transverse direction, each packing suction cup assembly 81 includes a plurality of groups of suction cups 82, and each group of suction cups 82 is responsible for picking up a bottle. In this embodiment, every two suction cups 82 are responsible for picking up a bottle, and each packing suction cup assembly 81 can suck up 6 bottles at the same time, and the 6 groups of suction cups 82 of the packing suction cup assembly 81 are arranged in three columns and two rows.

[0091] The packing robot 8 has four packing suction cup assemblies 81, and the box-opening machine 9 can open four packaging boxes 92 each time.

[0092] Of course, the present invention also includes a control cabinet and a display, etc. The control cabinet is provided with a programmable controller, etc., and the display is used to set parameters, etc. This is a conventional technical means in this field and will not be repeated here.

[0093] The following is combined with Figure 1-18 The working principle of the horizontal installation machine in the present invention is introduced as follows:

[0094] The bottle 4 is placed horizontally on the column conveying mechanism 5 , with the bottle body parallel to the column direction and the bottle mouth facing opposite to the conveying direction of the column conveying mechanism 5 .

[0095] The column conveying mechanism 5 delivers the bottle 4 to the bottle suction station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10; the motor drives the lower turntable 22 to rotate, and then drives the bottle suction rod 31 and the roller 35 to rotate synchronously, so that the roller 35 moves along the curved groove 11 of the cylindrical cam 1. When the roller 35 moves to the first convex contour 12 of the cylindrical cam 1, the bottle 4 is just delivered to the bottle suction station of the rotary bottle unscrambling mechanism 10, and the suction cup assembly 32 performs negative pressure suction action synchronously, thereby sucking the bottle 4 away;

[0096] When the roller 35 continues to move to the second convex contour 12 of the cylindrical cam 1, the roller 35 moves downward along the convex contour 12 first and then immediately moves upward, thereby driving the bottle suction rod 31 connected thereto to move downward first and then immediately move upward; during this process, when the bottle suction rod 31 moves to the maximum stroke, the suction cup assembly 32 is released synchronously, thereby placing the bottle 4 between the second column partition 62 of the transverse conveying mechanism 6; the lower turntable 22 keeps rotating in the same direction, and the multiple bottle suction mechanisms 3 of the lower turntable 22 translate the bottles 4 sent by the column conveying mechanism 5 one by one and place them between the second column partition 62 of the transverse conveying mechanism 6;

[0097] When the bottle 4 at the front of the transverse conveying mechanism 6 is delivered to the front side of the bottle storage area 72, the transverse conveying mechanism 6 is paused, and at this time, the second column of the partition 62 on the transverse conveying mechanism 6 is aligned with the first column of the partition 721 on the bottle storage area 72;

[0098] The vertical cylinder 713 immediately extends the piston rod downward, driving the bottle pushing plate 711 to move downward a certain distance, so that the lower edge of the bottle pushing plate 711 approaches the top surface of the conveyor belt 61;

[0099] Subsequently, the motor 716 runs, driving the lead screw to rotate, and then driving the nut 714, the crossbeam 712, and the bottle pushing plate 711 to move synchronously in a row, and the bottle pushing plate 711 pushes the bottom of the bottle 4 to move in a row, so that the bottle pushing plate 711 pushes multiple bottles 4 on the transverse conveying mechanism 6 to the bottle storage area 72 at the same time; when the bottle 4 is pushed down the transverse conveying mechanism 6, the transverse conveying mechanism 6 continues to transport forward, and after the bottle pushing plate 711 is pushed into place, the vertical cylinder 713 retracts the piston rod upward, driving the bottle pushing plate 711 to move upward to the original height, and at the same time the motor reverses, driving the crossbeam 712 and the bottle pushing plate 711 to reset;

[0100] In this way, the bottles 4 on the transverse conveying mechanism 6 are continuously pushed to the aligning machine 7 in an orderly manner.

[0101] When there are a certain number of bottles 4 in the bottle storage area 72 , the box packing robot 8 is activated to pack the multiple bottles 4 in the bottle storage area 72 into multiple packaging boxes 92 at one time.

[0102] The arranging mechanism of the present invention can temporarily place the bottles in the bottle storage area 72 in an orderly manner, which is convenient for subsequent unified packing and has high packing efficiency; the bottle pushing plate can push multiple bottles at one time, which can improve work efficiency.

[0103] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, technicians familiar with the field may make various corresponding changes and modifications based on the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
