DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In this application, the X, Y, and Z directions are as follows: Figure 1-4 shall prevail.

[0022] As shown in the accompanying drawings, a device for automatically loading and unloading bottled beverages on a multi-layer material rack includes a lifting mechanism 1, a clamping mechanism 2 that can be lifted up and down along the Z direction and is arranged on the lifting mechanism 1, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a mounting seat 20 that can be lifted up and down along the Z direction and is sleeved on the lifting mechanism 1, a grasping mechanism 21 that is installed on the mounting seat 20 and can move in the Y direction, and the grasping mechanism 21 includes a fixed V-shaped clamping jaw 211 fixed on the connecting rod of the clamping mechanism 2 in the X direction, and a movable V-shaped clamping jaw 212 that can move in the X direction and approach or move away from the fixed V-shaped clamping jaw 211.

[0023] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 20 includes a first connecting rod 201 with one end fixed on the lifting mechanism 1 in the X direction, and a second connecting rod 202 with one end movable in the X direction on the first connecting rod 201 through a gear rack. Two limit blocks 203 for limiting the movement of the second connecting rod 202 are arranged on the first connecting rod 201.

[0024] The gripping mechanism 21 further includes a first telescopic guide rail 213 extending along the Y direction and fixed to the fixed V-shaped jaw 211 and a second telescopic guide rail 214 fixed to the movable V-shaped jaw 212. The fixed V-shaped jaw 211 and the movable V-shaped jaw 212 move synchronously in the Y direction via the first telescopic guide rail 213 and the second telescopic guide rail 214 respectively.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the other end of the first connecting rod 201 can be relatively slidably disposed in the first telescopic guide rail 213, and the other end of the second connecting rod 202 can be relatively slidably disposed in the second telescopic guide rail 214.

[0026] The gripping mechanism 21 also includes an automatic locking mechanism disposed between the fixed V-shaped jaw 211 and the movable V-shaped jaw 212 for locking the two together. After the fixed V-shaped jaw 211 and the movable V-shaped jaw 212 grip the bottled beverage, the bottled beverage is fixed between the fixed V-shaped jaw 211 and the movable V-shaped jaw 212 by the automatic locking mechanism to prevent the bottle from falling.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the grabbing mechanism 21 can be moved in the Y direction on the mounting base 20 by means of a gear rack, and the fixed V-shaped jaw 211 and the movable V-shaped jaw 212 are each provided with a plurality of corresponding workstations. In this embodiment, 6 workstations are provided, which can grab 6 bottles of mineral water and beverages at one time, completing the placement of one layer of the material rack in depth, thereby improving the efficiency of grabbing items.

[0028] The outer end of the grabbing mechanism 21 is provided with a telescopic detection device for detecting the number of items to be put on the shelf. The telescopic detection device is one of an infrared rangefinder, a laser rangefinder, and an ultrasonic rangefinder. If there are different numbers of bottles on the shelf, the distance measured by the rangefinder will be different. The number of bottles can be calculated by the rangefinder.

[0029] The lifting mechanism 1 is a spiral lifting mechanism or a screw lifting mechanism. The device can accurately position and detect the amount of inventory through the telescopic detection device to determine the number of bottled mineral water and beverages clamped by the grasping mechanism. The lifting mechanism adopts a spiral mechanism to accurately determine the height of the material rack, so that the bottled mineral water and beverages can be placed stably.

[0030] Working principle: This device is mainly used for automatic shelving of bottled beverages and small bottles of mineral water in supermarkets. The number of items to be put on the shelves is detected by the telescopic detection device. After the grabbing mechanism moves to the initial item position, the clamping motor drives the clamping gear rack transmission mechanism, and the clamping rack drives the second connecting rod 202 to move in the X direction, thereby driving the movable V-shaped clamping claw 212 to move in the X direction. The movable V-shaped clamping claw cooperates with the fixed V-shaped clamping claw to clamp the items. The lifting motor drives the lead screw and nut mechanism of the lifting mechanism to transport the items to the designated position of the material rack. The telescopic motor drives the telescopic gear rack mechanism to move the grabbing mechanism in the Y direction to transport the items to the designated position of the material rack. The grabbing mechanism releases the items to complete the placement of the materials, and then the device is reset to the initial position to wait for the next item to be placed.

[0031] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
