[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the spoon transport mechanism of the present invention; Figure 3

[0023] It is a structural schematic diagram of the cover closing mechanism of the present invention; Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the mechanism for placing a spoon and taking out finished products of the present invention; Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the spoon variable distance transfer mechanism of the present invention; Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the spoon feeding mechanism of the present invention.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 As shown, an automatic lid closing and spoon loading equipment includes a finished product output line 1, a spoon transporting mechanism 2, a lid closing mechanism 3, a spoon placing and taking finished product mechanism 4, a spoon variable distance transfer mechanism 5, and a spoon loading mechanism 6. The spoon placing and taking finished product mechanism 4 is located above the finished product output line 1 and the lid closing mechanism 3, the spoon variable distance transfer mechanism 5 is installed above the finished product output line 1, and the spoon loading mechanism 6 and the spoon transporting mechanism 2 are located on one side of the finished product output line 1.

[0025] Finished product output line 1 is a belt conveyor.

[0026] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the spoon transport mechanism 2 is composed of a multi-axis robot 21, a spoon gripper 22, and a pressure rod 23. The multi-axis robot 21 is fixed with a spoon gripper 22 and a pressure rod 23.

[0027] As attached Figure 3As shown, the closing mechanism 3 is composed of a closing platform bottom plate 31, a pressure plate 32, a pressure plate rotating cylinder 33, a three-jaw chuck 34, a clamping cylinder 35, a push cylinder 36, a buffer 37, and a limit cylinder 38. The pressure plate rotating cylinder 33, the three-jaw chuck 34, the clamping cylinder 35, the push cylinder 36, the buffer 37, and the limit cylinder 38 are fixed on the closing platform bottom plate 31, and the output shaft of the pressure plate rotating cylinder 33 is fixed on the pressure plate 32, and a suction cup is provided on the pressure plate 32.

[0028] The lid handling mechanism places the lid ring body on the three-jaw chuck 34. The three fingers of the three-jaw chuck 34 are separated to support the ring body from the inside. The round cover of the lid is placed on the pressing plate 32, and the suction cup on the pressing plate 32 sucks the round cover. The buffer 37 can prevent the lid from coming from above from hard contact with the box cover mechanism 3. The piston rod of the limit cylinder 38 can limit the downward movement height of the lid handling mechanism, so as to ensure that the lid ring body and the round cover are placed on the lid closing mechanism 3. After the spoon is placed in the ring body, the pressing plate rotating cylinder 33 drives the pressing plate 32 and the round cover on the pressing plate 32 to turn toward the lid ring body until the round cover is turned over to the top of the ring body, and then the pressure head of the pressing cylinder 35 (rotating downward pressing cylinder) presses the round cover on the ring body, and then the piston rod of the push cylinder 36 moves horizontally toward the lid until the clamp on the round cover is pushed into the ring body, thereby completing the closing of the lid.

[0029] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the spoon placing and finished product taking mechanism 4 is composed of a frame 41, a slide 42, a slide linear module 43, a spoon taking clamp 44, a pressure rod 45, a clamp driving cylinder 46, a suction cup 47, and a suction cup driving cylinder 48. The slide 42 is slidably connected to the frame 41, the cylinder body of the slide linear module 43 is fixed on the frame 41, the slide seat of the slide linear module 43 is fixed on the slide 42, the clamp driving cylinder 46 and the suction cup driving cylinder 48 are fixed on the slide 42, the spoon taking clamp 44 and the pressure rod 45 are fixed on the piston rod of the clamp driving cylinder 46, and the suction cup 47 is fixed on the piston rod of the suction cup driving cylinder 48.

[0030] The carriage linear module 43 can drive the carriage 42 to move horizontally and linearly along the frame 41, so that the frame 41 and all the mechanisms on the frame 41 can move back and forth above the finished product output line 1 and the lid closing mechanism 3. The clamp driving cylinder 1 46 can drive the spoon clamp 2 44 and the pressure rod 2 45 to move up and down, and the spoon clamp 2 44 can be used to clamp the spoon. The suction cup driving cylinder 1 48 can drive the suction cup 1 47 to move up and down, and the suction cup 1 47 can be used to suck the finished lid.

[0031] As attached Figure 5As shown, the spoon variable pitch transfer mechanism 5 is composed of a carrier plate 51, a spoon positioning seat 52, a variable pitch cylinder 53, and a carrier linear module. The carrier plate 51 is slidably connected to the finished product output line 1, the cylinder body of the carrier linear module is fixed on the finished product output line 1, the slide seat of the carrier linear module is fixed together with the carrier plate 51, the variable pitch cylinder 53 is fixed on the carrier plate 51, and several spoon positioning seats 52 are slidably connected on the carrier plate 51, and the several spoon positioning seats 52 are respectively fixed on several slide seats of the variable pitch cylinder 53.

[0032] The variable pitch cylinder 53 can drive the spoon positioning seats 52 to change their spacing. When the spoon is to be placed on the spoon positioning seats 52, the spoon positioning seats 52 are gathered together. After the carrier linear module moves the carrier plate 51 horizontally and linearly to the spoon taking station, the variable pitch cylinder 53 drives the spoon positioning seats 52 to separate, so that the spacing of the spoon positioning seats 52 can match the spacing of the spoon taking claws 44 on the spoon placing and taking finished product mechanism 4.

[0033] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the spoon feeding mechanism 6 is composed of a belt conveyor 61 and a spoon carrier 62. The spoon carrier 62 is slidably connected to the machine platform of the belt conveyor 61, and the belt of the belt conveyor 61 is fixed on the spoon carrier 62.

[0034] The belt conveyor 61 can drive the spoon carrier 62 to move horizontally and linearly.

[0035] The working method of the present application is that the spoon is first manually placed on the spoon carrier 62, and then the spoon loading mechanism 6 drives the spoon carrier 62 to move horizontally to the spoon transport mechanism 2, and the multi-axis robot 21 drives the spoon-taking gripper 1 22 to take the spoon from the spoon carrier 62 and put it on the spoon positioning seat 52 of the spoon variable distance transfer mechanism 5. Then the carrier linear module drives the carrier 51 and the spoon positioning seat 52 to move horizontally to the bottom of the spoon placing and taking finished product mechanism 4, and the gripper driving cylinder 1 46 drives the spoon-taking gripper 2 44 to move toward the spoon below and take the spoon on the spoon positioning seat 52.

[0036] The lid transport mechanism places and positions the round lid and the ring body of the lid on the lid closing mechanism 3, and then the spoon-taking finished product mechanism 4 moves horizontally to the top of the lid closing mechanism 3 and puts the spoon into the lid ring body. Then the lid closing mechanism 3 combines the round lid and the ring body to form a finished lid. After the finished lid is formed, the lid closing mechanism 3 releases the lid. Finally, the suction cup 47 of the spoon-taking finished product mechanism 4 sucks the finished lid, takes the finished lid off the lid closing mechanism 3, and then puts the finished lid on the finished product output line 1 and moves it away.

[0037] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
