[0058] One embodiment of the present invention discloses a cylinder packaging production line, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a robotic arm 3, a cylinder gripping device 1 for gripping the cylinder body, and a suction mechanism 2 for gripping packaging materials;

[0059] The cylinder gripping device 1 is provided with a first matching part 18, and the suction mechanism 2 is provided with a second matching part 27. The robotic arm 3 can be connected to the cylinder gripping device 1 through the first matching part 18, and the robotic arm 3 can be connected to the suction mechanism 2 through the second matching part 27.

[0060] Furthermore, the cylinder packaging production line also includes a feeding channel 4, a material placement station 5, a discharge station 6, a first placement position 7 for placing the cylinder gripping device 1, and a second placement position 8 for placing the suction mechanism 2. The material placement station 5 includes a film placement station 51, a desiccant placement station 52, and a partition placement station 53. The film placement station 51, desiccant placement station 52, partition placement station 53, discharge station 6, first placement position 7, and second placement position 8 are arranged around the robotic arm 3. The robotic arm 3 can move to different stations by rotating and extending. Furthermore, a protective net is set around the perimeter of each station to prevent personnel from entering the working area of ​​the robotic arm 3 and ensure operational safety.

[0061] Among them, the film placement station 51 is used to stack multiple films, the desiccant placement station 52 is used to stack multiple desiccants, and the partition placement station 53 is used to stack multiple partitions.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 8As shown, a first placement platform is provided in the first placement position 7. The first placement platform includes a first housing 71. The side of the first housing 71 has a first side door 74 that can be opened. The top surface of the first housing 71 has a first top door 72 that can be opened. Inside the first housing 71, a first card seat 73 is provided. One side of the first card seat 73 has a first opening 731. The first matching part 18 in the cylinder gripping device 1 can be inserted into the first card seat 73 through the first opening 731, so that the first matching part 18 can be placed on the first card seat 73, so that the robotic arm 3 can be connected to the first matching part 18 from the upper end of the first housing 71.

[0063] like Figure 9 As shown, the second placement position 8 is provided with a second placement platform, which includes a second housing 81. The side of the second housing 81 has a second side door that can be opened, and the top surface of the second housing 81 has a second top door that can be opened. Inside the second housing 81, a second mounting seat 83 is provided. One side of the second mounting seat 83 has a second opening 831. The second matching part 27 of the suction mechanism 2 can be engaged into the second mounting seat 83 through the second opening 831, so that the second matching part 27 can be placed on the second mounting seat 83, so that the robotic arm 3 can be connected to the second matching part 27 from the upper end of the second housing 81. When not in use, the cylinder gripping device 1 and the suction mechanism 2 can be placed in the first housing 71 and the second housing 81. When in use, the robotic arm 3 can selectively connect the cylinder gripping device 1 and the suction mechanism 2 according to different processes to meet different usage requirements.

[0064] In this application, the cylinder can be gripped by the cylinder gripping device 1, and the robotic arm 3 and the cylinder gripping device 1 are connected by a first matching part. The robotic arm 3 drives the cylinder gripping device 1 to move so that the cylinder can be moved to different workstations for processing. In this application, the packaging material can be gripped by the suction mechanism 2, and the robotic arm 3 and the suction mechanism 2 are connected by a second matching part. The robotic arm 3 drives the suction mechanism 2 to move so that the packaging material can be moved to different workstations for packaging the cylinder. Therefore, this application can replace manual labor for gripping and packaging the cylinder by mechanical means, thereby improving packaging efficiency. In addition, the robotic arm 3 can be connected to the cylinder gripping device 1 and the suction mechanism 2 by the first matching part and the second matching part respectively, which can save production line layout space and reduce production line construction costs.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, the cylinder gripping device 1 includes a first frame 10, a first drive device 11, an insertion part 12, and a hook 13. The first drive device 11 and the insertion part 12 are disposed on the first frame 10. The hook 13 is movably connected to the inside of the insertion part 12. The first drive device 11 is connected to the hook 13 and is used to drive the hook 13 to extend out of the insertion part 12 or retract into the insertion part 12 along the side of the insertion part 12.

[0066] Furthermore, the first drive device 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first frame 10, and the insertion part 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first frame 10. A first matching part 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first frame 10. The first matching part 18 is used to match and install with the robotic arm 3. The robotic arm 3 is fixedly connected to the cylinder gripping device 1 of this application through the first matching part 18, so that the robotic arm 3 can drive the cylinder gripping device 1 to move.

[0067] Furthermore, the hook 13 is movably disposed at the bottom of the insertion part 12, the diameter of the insertion part 12 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder bore, and when the hook 13 extends to the outside of the insertion part 12, the distance between the farthest end of the hook 13 extending into the insertion part 12 and the central axis of the insertion part 12 is greater than the inner diameter of the cylinder bore.

[0068] In this application, when gripping the cylinder, the first drive device 11 drives the hook 13 to retract into the insertion part 12. At this time, the diameter of the insertion part 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder bore. The robotic arm 3 drives the insertion part 12 into the cylinder bore, and the end of the insertion part 12 extends out of the cylinder bore from the bottom. At this time, the hook 13 extends out of the cylinder bore and is located below the bottom of the cylinder. Then, the first drive device 11 drives the hook 13 to extend out of the insertion part 12. At this time, the hook 13 can abut against the bottom of the cylinder bore, and the robotic arm 3 can lift or move the cylinder. In this application, by using the hook 13 to abut against the bottom of the cylinder bore when gripping the cylinder, the problem of damage to the side of the cylinder caused by gripping the side of the cylinder by the claws in the prior art can be avoided. At the same time, the hanging method can avoid the problem of poor gripping stability due to insufficient gripping force. Furthermore, since the hook abuts against the bottom of the cylinder each time it is gripped, accurate positioning is guaranteed every time, avoiding issues with positioning accuracy caused by different gripping positions. Additionally, the cylinder gripping device 1 disclosed in this application does not interfere with the sides of the cylinder, thus not affecting subsequent packaging processes.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least two hooks 13 are provided, and multiple hooks 13 are arranged at intervals around the insertion part 12.

[0070] The first driving device 11 can synchronously drive multiple hooks 13 to move synchronously, so that the multiple hooks 13 can extend or retract synchronously into the insertion part 12.

[0071] Furthermore, when two hooks 13 are provided, the two hooks 13 are respectively arranged symmetrically on both sides of the insertion part 12 with respect to the central axis of the insertion part 12.

[0072] Optionally, when more than two hooks 13 are provided, the multiple hooks 13 are arranged at equal intervals around the axial direction of the insertion part 12.

[0073] By setting more than two hooks 13 in this application, the stability of the grabbing can be improved.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple insertion parts 12 are provided so that they can be inserted into multiple cylinder holes of the cylinder body at the same time, thereby improving the stability of gripping.

[0075] Optionally, two insertion parts 12 can be provided for insertion into two different cylinder bores of the cylinder body. Each insertion part 12 is provided with a hook 13, and the two hooks 13 are respectively located on the outside of the insertion part 12. The cylinder body can be stably gripped by the cooperation of the two insertion parts 12.

[0076] Alternatively, only one hook 13 may be provided, wherein the hook 13 can cover more than 1 / 2 of the circumference of the cylinder bore.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a linkage component 14 is provided between the first drive device 11 and the hook 13. The linkage component 14 connects the first drive device 11 and the hook 13. The first drive device 11 drives the hook 13 to extend / retract into the insertion part 12 through the linkage component 14.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the linkage assembly 14 includes a first drive rod 141 and a connecting plate 142. One end of the connecting plate 142 is hinged to the insertion part 12, and the other end is connected to the hook 13. The connecting plate 142 is provided with a sliding groove 1421. The first drive device 11 is connected to the first drive rod 141 and is used to drive the first drive rod 141 to move along the axial direction of the insertion part 12. The first drive rod 141 is provided with a pin 1411. The pin 1411 is inserted into the sliding groove 1421 and can slide along the sliding groove 1421. The sliding groove 1421 and the axial direction of the insertion part 12 have an included angle α.

[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the connecting plate 142 is hinged to the insertion part 12, and the lower end of the connecting plate 142 is fixedly connected to the hook 13. The first driving device 11 can drive the first driving rod 141 to move up and down along the axial direction of the insertion part 12. When the first driving rod 141 moves, the pin 1411 can slide in the slide groove 1421. Since there is an angle α between the slide groove 1421 and the axial direction of the insertion part 12, when the pin 1411 moves up and down along the axial direction of the insertion part 12, it can drive the connecting plate 142 to swing, thereby causing the hook 13 to extend or retract into the interior of the insertion part 12.

[0080] Optionally, the linkage assembly 14 may further include a return spring and a wedge-shaped portion, wherein the hook 13 is slidably connected to the insertion portion 12 and can slide radially along the insertion portion 12, the return spring is connected between the hook 13 and the insertion portion 12, and the wedge-shaped portion is disposed on the hook 13. When the first driving device 11 drives the first driving rod 141 to move downward, the end of the first driving rod 141 contacts the wedge-shaped portion and pushes the hook 13 to extend out of the insertion portion 12. When the first driving device 11 drives the first driving rod 141 to move upward, the hook 13 retracts into the insertion portion 12 under the action of the return spring.

[0081] Optionally, the linkage assembly 14 may further include a linkage rod, with a first end fixedly connected to the hook 13 and a second end hinged to the first drive rod 141. The linkage rod is hinged to the insertion portion 12 between its first and second ends. When the first drive rod 141 moves downward, it drives the linkage rod to rotate, causing the hook 13 to extend into the insertion portion 12. When the first drive rod 141 moves upward, it drives the linkage rod to rotate, causing the hook 13 to retract into the insertion portion 12.

[0082] Furthermore, in order to protect the inner wall of the cylinder bore, a flexible pad is wrapped around the outer periphery of the insertion part 12 to ensure that the insertion part 12 will not cause bumps or scratches to the inner wall of the cylinder bore when it is inserted into the cylinder.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, two hooks 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the insertion part 12, and the sliding grooves 1421 on the two connecting plates 142 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the first drive rod 141. The pin 1411 is inserted into the sliding grooves 1421 on the two connecting plates 142.

[0084] Furthermore, the two hooks 13 are symmetrical about the central axis of the insertion part 12 and are arranged on both sides of the insertion part 12. Similarly, the two connecting plates 142 are symmetrical about the central axis of the insertion part 12. The sliding grooves 1421 on the two connecting plates 142 are arranged crosswise. The first drive rod 141 is arranged between the two connecting plates 142. The pin 1411 passes through both sides of the first drive rod 141 and is inserted into the sliding grooves 1421 of the two connecting plates 142, thereby realizing the synchronous driving of the two hooks 13.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the insertion part 12 includes a first sleeve 121 and a second sleeve 122. A first driving device 11 is disposed on the first frame 10. The first sleeve 121 connects the first frame 10 and the second sleeve 122. A first driving rod 141 is slidably connected inside the first sleeve 121. A connecting plate 142 is disposed inside the second sleeve 122 and one end of the connecting plate 142 is hinged to the second sleeve 122. The second sleeve 122 is provided with an opening 1221 for the hook 13 to extend / retract into the second sleeve 122.

[0086] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first sleeve 121 and the second sleeve 122 are hollow structures. The first sleeve 121 is fitted onto the outside of the first drive rod 141. One end of the first drive rod 141 extends through the upper end of the first sleeve 121 and connects to the first drive device 11. The other end of the first drive rod 141 extends through the lower end of the first sleeve 121 and connects to the connecting plate 142 located inside the second sleeve 122. Figure 3 As shown, openings 1221 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the second sleeve 122, wherein the openings 1221 can connect the interior and exterior of the second sleeve 122, and the diameter of the second sleeve 122 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder bore. During gripping, the hook 13 can extend from the opening 1221 to the exterior of the second sleeve 122 to abut against the bottom of the cylinder. When the insertion part 12 is inserted into the cylinder bore, the hook 13 can retract into the interior of the second sleeve 122 through the opening 1221, thereby allowing the insertion part 12 to pass through the cylinder bore.

[0087] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a guide portion 1222 is provided at the lower end of the second sleeve 122, wherein the guide portion 1222 is provided with a guide slope for guiding the second sleeve 122 into the cylinder bore.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, it also includes a clamping mechanism 15 for applying a force toward the hook 13 to the cylinder. The clamping mechanism 15 includes a pressure plate 151, a guide rod and a first elastic element 152. The guide rod is slidably connected to the first frame 10, the pressure plate 151 is connected to the guide rod, and the first elastic element 152 is connected between the pressure plate 151 and the first frame 10.

[0089] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the guide rod is provided with a limiting part 153, and a guide hole is provided on the first frame 10. The guide rod passes through the guide hole, and the limiting part 153 abuts against the upper surface of the first frame 10 and restricts the guide rod from disengaging from the guide hole. The lower end of the guide rod is located below the first frame 10 and is connected to the pressure plate 151. In order to ensure the stability of the pressure plate 151, at least two sets of parallel guide rods are provided.

[0090] Furthermore, the first elastic element 152 is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide rod, with its upper end abutting the lower surface of the first frame 10 and its lower end abutting the upper surface of the pressure plate 151. When gripping the cylinder, the hook 13 abuts against the bottom of the cylinder, while the pressure plate 151 presses against the top of the cylinder under the elastic force of the first elastic element 152. This applies a force to the cylinder in the direction of the hook 13, fixing the cylinder axially and preventing it from swaying during gripping, thus improving the stability of the clamping. Simultaneously, the clamping mechanism 15 also provides a buffering effect.

[0091] Optionally, multiple sets of clamping mechanisms 15 are provided to improve clamping stability. Two sets of clamping mechanisms 15 are provided, with the two sets of clamping mechanisms 15 respectively provided on both sides of the insertion part 12.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a first rangefinder 16, and at least two first rangefinders 16 are mounted on the first frame 10.

[0093] The first rangefinder 16 can detect the distance between the cylinder gripping device 1 and the cylinder. When the preset position is reached, the first drive device 11 can be triggered to drive the hook 13 to extend and grip the cylinder.

[0094] Furthermore, two first rangefinders 16 are respectively set on both sides of the first frame 10, so that the distance between the two sides of the first frame 10 and the cylinder can be detected by the two first rangefinders 16 to determine whether the cylinder is balanced.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, it also includes a visual positioning mechanism 17, which includes a camera mounted on the first frame 10. The camera can take pictures of the tray surface for initial positioning when the cylinder is placed.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the absorption mechanism 2 includes a second frame 20, a thin film adsorption mechanism, and a desiccant adsorption mechanism;

[0097] The film adsorption mechanism includes a plurality of film suction cups 23, which are connected at intervals to the second frame 20;

[0098] The desiccant adsorption mechanism includes at least one desiccant suction cup 24, which is connected to the second frame 20.

[0099] Furthermore, the film suction cup 23 and the desiccant suction cup 24 are respectively connected to an air source to create a vacuum during the adsorption of the film and desiccant, thereby enabling the film and desiccant to be adsorbed and placed in the desired position. When it is necessary to put the film or desiccant down, disconnecting the air source or inputting a reverse airflow will allow the film or desiccant to separate from the suction cup.

[0100] The air source can be a cylinder connected to the film suction cup 23 or the desiccant suction cup 24.

[0101] In this application, the film adsorption mechanism employs multiple film suction cups 23 spaced apart, enabling the suction cups 23 to pick up the film from multiple locations, thus grasping the entire film for subsequent packaging processes. The desiccant adsorption mechanism in this application utilizes desiccant suction cups 24 to pick up and grasp the packaged desiccant. Compared to existing methods that involve manually wrapping the film and placing the desiccant, this application offers significantly higher operational efficiency.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second frame 20 includes a first support 21 and a second support 22. The first support 21 is connected to the second support 22. The film suction cup 23 is on the first support 21, and the desiccant suction cup 24 is connected to the second support 22.

[0103] Furthermore, the first support 21 and the second support 22 are fixedly connected to enhance the structural strength of the second frame 20, and the second support 22 is positioned above the first support 21 so that the desiccant suction cup 24 is positioned above the film suction cup 23, thereby ensuring that the desiccant suction cup 24 does not affect film adsorption.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6As shown, the first support 21 includes a first rod 211 and a second rod 212, with at least two first rods 211 spaced apart, and the second rod 212 connected between two adjacent first rods 211. The second support 22 is connected to the second rod 212, and the film suction cup 23 is connected to the first rod 211.

[0105] Preferably, two first rods 211 and two second rods 212 are provided. The two first rods 211 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel. The second rods 212 are perpendicular to the first rods 211. The two second rods 212 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel. The two second rods 212 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the first rods 211. An opening 202 is formed between the two first rods 211 and the two second rods 212. The second bracket 22 is fixedly connected above the second rods 212.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the thin film suction cup 23 includes a first suction cup 231 and a second suction cup 232;

[0107] In each first rod 211, there are two first suction cups 231 and one second suction cup 232. The two first suction cups 231 are respectively located at both ends of the first rod 211, and the second suction cup 232 is located between the two first suction cups 231.

[0108] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, a first suction cup 231 is provided at each end of the two first rods 211, so that the four corners of the film can be picked up. A second suction cup 232 is provided in the middle of each first rod 211, so that the middle of the film can be adsorbed through the second suction cup 232, thereby ensuring that the film can be picked up from multiple positions to ensure the stability of the adsorption.

[0109] Optionally, multiple second suction cups 232 can be provided between the two first suction cups 231 to accommodate films of different sizes, thereby improving the adsorption force.

[0110] Optionally, a second suction cup 232 is provided on the second rod 212 to improve the adsorption force.

[0111] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a reinforcing plate 201 is connected between the first rod 211 and the second rod 212, which can improve the structural strength of the first support 21.

[0112] Among them, such as Figure 6As shown, multiple connection holes 200 are provided on both the first rod 211 and the second rod 212. These connection holes 200 are arranged along the axial direction and at axial intervals along the first connecting rod. The first suction cup 231 and the second suction cup 232 can be installed on the connection holes 200 at different positions, thereby adjusting their installation positions to accommodate films of different sizes. The connection holes 200 also help reduce weight.

[0113] In addition, the first rod 211 and the second rod 212 are hollow structures, which can be used to accommodate the arrangement of gas source pipelines.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the distance between the bottom end of the second suction cup 232 and the first rod 211 is greater than the distance between the first suction cup 231 and the first rod 211. This design allows the film adsorption mechanism to cause the film's ends to curve upwards and the middle of the film to bulge downwards relative to the sides when adsorbing the film, thereby breaking the vacuum between two adjacent films stacked together and preventing two or more films from being sucked up together when the film is lifted.

[0115] Furthermore, the suction mechanism 2 also includes a second matching part 27, which is fixedly connected to the second frame 20. The second matching part 27 is used to match and install with the robotic arm 3. The robotic arm 3 can be fixedly connected to the suction mechanism 2 through the second matching part 27, so that the suction mechanism 2 can be driven to move by the robotic arm 3.

[0116] When adsorbing the film, after the first suction cup 231 and the second suction cup 232 have attracted the film, the robotic arm 3 controls one side of the suction mechanism 2 to lift up first, and then controls the other side of the suction mechanism 2 to lift up. This avoids multiple films being attracted up at the same time due to static electricity, so as to achieve the single-time suction of a single film.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second frame 20 includes a third rod 221, which is disposed between two first rods 211, and two desiccant suction cups 24 are respectively disposed at both ends of the two third rods 221.

[0118] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the third rod 221 is parallel to the first rod 211 and is connected to the middle of the second rod 212. The length of the third rod 221 is less than the length of the first rod 211. A desiccant suction cup 24 is provided at each end of the third rod 221. This design allows the desiccant suction cups 24 to be arranged between the film suction cups 23, thereby reducing the space occupied by the suction mechanism 2.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the plane at the bottom of the desiccant suction cup 24 is above the plane at the bottom of the film suction cup 23. This design ensures that the desiccant suction cup 24 does not come into contact with the film during film adsorption, thus not affecting film adsorption and gripping.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a second rangefinder 25, with at least two second rangefinders 25 spaced apart on the second frame 20.

[0121] Preferably, two second rangefinders 25 are respectively symmetrically arranged around the centerline of the second frame 20 to detect the distance between the second frame 20 and the film or desiccant, thereby determining whether the second frame 20 is balanced and whether the movement is in place.

[0122] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, multiple hoppers 521 are provided in the desiccant placement station 52, and multiple desiccants are stacked in the hoppers 521. The top of the hopper 521 is provided with an openable cover 522, which can seal the hopper 521 to prevent the desiccant in the hopper 521 from getting damp.

[0123] Optionally, four hoppers 521 are arranged side by side. When grabbing desiccant, two rangefinders 25 can detect the desiccant in two hoppers 521 that are spaced apart, and two desiccant suction cups 24 can pick up the desiccant in the two hoppers 521 that are spaced apart, so as to improve the work efficiency. In the next operation, the desiccant in the other two hoppers 521 can be grabbed to ensure that the amount of desiccant in each hopper 521 is the same.

[0124] Alternatively, when packaging a cylinder for short-term storage, the desiccant in one of the hoppers 521 can be drawn up by one of the desiccant suction cups 24.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6As shown, it also includes a gripping mechanism 26, which includes grippers 261, a second drive device 262 and a third drive device 263. The second drive device 262 is connected to the two grippers 261 respectively and is used to drive the two grippers 261 to move closer / away. The third drive device 263 is connected to the grippers 261 and is used to drive the grippers 261 to move longitudinally.

[0126] Furthermore, both the second drive device 262 and the third drive device 263 are cylinders. The second drive device 262 is used to drive the two grippers 261 to move toward each other or away from each other in order to grab or put down the partition. The third drive device 263 is used to drive the grippers 261 to move up and down longitudinally so that they can reach into the container where the partition is placed to grab the partition.

[0127] The gripping mechanism 26 is located in the middle of the second frame 20, above the opening 202 formed by the first rod 211 and the second rod 212. The gripper 261 can be driven to move through the opening 202 by the third drive device 263. This design can make full use of the position of the second frame 20 to reduce space occupation. At the same time, the gripping mechanism 26 is located in the middle of the second frame 20, which can concentrate the center of gravity of the whole in the middle of the second frame 20, making the whole more stable and balanced.

[0128] The above description is merely the principle and preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several other modifications can be made based on the principle of this application, and these modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
