[0055] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 The present invention will be further described below.

[0056] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 On the one hand, the present invention provides a material spreading device. In use, the material spreading device is connected to a conveying component located above the material surface. The conveying component is provided with a conveying port. When the material is transported to the conveying component, it can fall into the material spreading device from its conveying port, and then the material spreading device will throw the material out for spreading.

[0058] Specifically, the material spreading device comprises a connecting seat 1, a swing assembly 2, a sliding seat 3, a driving unit 4 and an output unit 5. The connecting seat 1 is vertically penetrated by an opening, and the lower opening is a discharging port. The connecting seat 1 is connected to the material conveying assembly and is communicated with the material conveying port of the material conveying assembly, so that the material falling from the material conveying port can pass through and further fall. The upper end of the swing assembly 2 is rotationally connected to the connecting seat 1. The sliding seat 3 is horizontally slidably connected to the lower end of the swing assembly 2 and forms a space for the material to continuously fall. The driving unit 4 is arranged on the swing assembly 2 and can simultaneously drive the swing assembly 2 and the sliding seat 3 to move, specifically, the swing assembly 2 swings, and the sliding seat 3 slides.

[0059] The output unit 5 is rotationally connected to the sliding seat 3, and the rotation part serves as a connecting point to move with the sliding of the sliding seat 3. The output unit 5 is arranged below the discharging port of the connecting seat 1 to receive the falling material. An outlet is arranged on the output unit 5 to discharge the material from the outlet. A curved chute 6 is arranged on the output unit 5 and has a horizontal distance from the connecting point, i.e. a horizontal interval. The lower end of the swing assembly 2 is slidably connected to the curved chute 6, so that the outlet of the output unit 5 is always located on the same horizontal straight line.

[0060] By connecting the output unit 5 to the sliding seat 3 and horizontally slidably connecting the sliding seat 3 to the swing assembly 2, the output unit 5 is indirectly driven to horizontally slide, the material spreading area is relatively increased, and the output unit 5 is swung by the swing of the swing assembly 2, further increasing the material spreading area. In the process, the curved chute 6 is arranged, i.e. the lower end of the swing assembly 2 slides in the curved chute 6, so that the output unit 5 can rotate around the rotational connecting point with the sliding seat 3, ensuring that the height of the outlet of the output unit 5 remains consistent during the translation and swing, i.e. the distance between the outlet and the ground remains unchanged, improving the problem of uneven spreading in the prior art due to large falling height difference. The application of the wine lees on the still in wine brewing is beneficial to improve the wine yield and improve the quality of the wine, and can improve the problem of wine lees clumping, material crushing and uneven spreading in the prior art when the material is spread by the on-still robot.

[0061] By arranging the driving unit 4 to simultaneously drive the swing assembly 2 and the sliding seat 3 to move, the synchronization of the two is ensured, the possibility of failure due to asynchronization is prevented, and the energy consumption is relatively reduced.

[0062] Reference Figure 1The connecting seat 1 in the application is used to form a channel for the material to fall from the feeding port to the output unit 5, that is, the connecting seat 1 has various setting modes, for example, the connecting seat 1 can be a pipe with a through hole, a plate or a combination of the two, which is connected to the feeding assembly by means of bolt connection, flange connection or the like.

[0063] As a preferred example, in some embodiments of the application, the connecting seat 1 comprises a base 11, an adapter cylinder 12 and a driving member 13; the base 11 can be a plate provided with a through hole and connected to the feeding assembly by means of detachable connection or fixed connection, and the opening thereof is communicated with the feeding port of the feeding assembly, and the downward opening is a discharging port for the material to fall.

[0064] During the paving process, the adapter cylinder 12 can be driven to rotate relative to the base 11 by the driving member 13, and then the swinging assembly 2 is arranged to rotate, indirectly driving the output unit 5 to rotate circumferentially, forming paving in the circumferential range and improving the paving range and efficiency.

[0065] The driving member 13 is a structure capable of realizing the rotation of the adapter cylinder 12, which is not specifically limited, for example, it can be a gear structure with a power source, comprising a first gear, a second gear and a power source, the first gear is rotatably connected to the base 11, the second gear is coaxially fixed to the adapter cylinder 12 and engaged with the first gear, and the power source can be fixed to the base 11, and the output end is coaxially fixed to the first gear to drive the first gear to rotate, so that the second gear rotates, thereby realizing the rotation of the adapter cylinder 12.

[0066] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the application, the swinging assembly 2 is provided with two groups, which comprise an L-shaped swing arm 21 and a guide rod 22; one end of the L-shaped swing arm 21 is a long section and is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the adapter cylinder 12 through a support, and the other end is a short section and extends horizontally away from the rotation connection point between the output unit 5 and the sliding seat 3. The driving unit 4 is arranged on the long section of the L-shaped swing arm 21. One end of the guide rod 22 is connected to the end of the short section of the L-shaped swing arm 21, and the other end of the guide rod 22 extends into the curved sliding groove 6.

[0067] When swinging, the L-shaped swing arm 21 swings, and the guide rod 22 slides in the curved sliding groove 6, realizing the adjustment of the height of the discharging port of the output unit 5. And in use, a smaller swing angle of the L-shaped swing arm 21 can realize a larger translation distance of the output unit 5, for example, a swing of 1° of the L-shaped swing arm 21 corresponds to a translation of 10 mm of the output unit 5.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the short section of the L-shaped swing arm 21 can be a telescopic section, which can be a mechanical telescopic rod or a telescopic section with a power source, such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder; and the guide rod 22 is connected to the end of the telescopic section to change the length of the short section by telescopic action, so that the height adjustment of the discharge port of the output unit 5 is more obvious when the guide rod 22 slides in the curved sliding groove 6, that is, the height of the discharge port of the output unit 5 is different when the guide rod 22 is at the same position in the curved sliding groove 6 by changing the length of the short section.

[0069] Further, in some other embodiments, one end of the guide rod 22 sliding in the curved sliding groove 6 is a rolling end, which can be a bearing or a ball, to reduce wear by rolling friction.

[0070] In addition, in some other embodiments, the swing assembly 2 can also be a tubular member with a vertical through hole, which has an opening for the material to fall.

[0071] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , as a preferred embodiment of the present application, the driving unit 4 comprises a first right-angle speed reducer 41, an angle driving member 42, a shaft coupling 43, a second right-angle speed reducer 44 and a linear driving member 45; the first right-angle speed reducer 41 is arranged on the L-shaped swing arm 21. The angle driving member 42 comprises a driving gear 421 and a driven gear 422, the driving gear 421 is coaxially connected to the output end of the first right-angle speed reducer 41, and the driven gear 422 is fixed on the L-shaped swing arm 21 and engaged with the driving gear 421, so that the driving gear 421 rotates and the driven gear 422 rotates under the driving of the first right-angle speed reducer 41, to realize the swing of the swing assembly 2.

[0072] The shaft coupling 43 is connected to the other output end of the first right-angle speed reducer 41; the second right-angle speed reducer 44 is arranged on the L-shaped swing arm 21 and connected to the other end of the shaft coupling 43 to be driven through the shaft coupling 43. The linear driving member 45 comprises a gear 451 and a rack 452, the gear 451 is coaxially connected to the output end of the second right-angle speed reducer 44, and the rack 452 is fixed on the sliding seat 3 and engaged with the gear 451, so that the gear 451 rotates under the driving of the second right-angle speed reducer 44 to drive the rack 452 and the sliding seat 3 to slide simultaneously.

[0073] In use, the swing of the swing assembly 2 can be realized by the driving of the first right-angle speed reducer 41, and the sliding of the sliding seat 3 and the output unit 5 can be realized simultaneously, that is, the adjustment actions of swinging, translating and adjusting the height of the discharge port of the output unit 5 are completed by one set of driving unit 4.

[0074] As other embodiments, the driving unit 4 can include a first driving member for driving the swing assembly 2 to swing and a second driving member for driving the sliding base 3 to slide, and the first driving member and the second driving member are synchronously controlled, the first driving member can be a gear set structure driven by a motor, and the second driving member can be a gear and rack structure driven by a motor, or a linear driving mechanism such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, and a screw nut; but this kind of setting mode needs to set multiple power sources, and the synchronous control of the two power sources (motors) is required to be higher, and it is extremely possible to appear the fault of out of synchronization, and when the mechanical linkage mode is used for driving through the first right-angle speed reducer 41, the angle driving member 42, the shaft coupling 43, the second right-angle speed reducer 44, and the linear driving member 45 and the like in the foregoing embodiments, the reliability and synchronism of the mechanical linkage mode are better, there is no sealing box out of synchronization, and the transmission reliability is also better.

[0075] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the sliding base 3 is a connecting piece of the swing assembly 2, and has a space for the material to fall, and the structure of the embodiment is not limited, which can be annular, U-shaped, etc. In the embodiment, the sliding base 3 is provided as two plate bodies, and the rack 452 is fixed to one of the plate bodies, and the two groups of swing assemblies 2 are respectively connected to the two plate bodies; the two plate bodies are connected through a rod piece to enhance the structural strength.

[0076] Further, in the embodiment of the application, linear guides 31 are fixed on the two plate bodies, and the linear guides 31 are slidably connected with slide rails 32, and the slide rails 32 are fixed to the swing assemblies 2 to enhance the stability of the sliding of the sliding base 3.

The conveying assembly 52 is connected to the two guide plates 51 at the same time, for receiving the material falling from the guide plate 51, and discharging the material from the discharge port thereof.

[0078] The conveying assembly 52 is a structure that can move to realize the conveying of the material; for example, the conveying assembly 52 can be a belt conveyor, a screw conveying mechanism, etc., and the specific structure is not limited; in the figure, the conveying assembly 52 is shown as a belt conveyor including a frame, a belt pulley, and a belt body, the frame is fixed to the guide plate, the belt pulley is connected to the frame, and the belt body is sleeved on the belt pulley.

[0079] Further, the curved chute 6 is a curved structure capable of realizing horizontal movement of the discharge opening of the conveying assembly 52, and specifically includes a long straight section 61, an arc section 62 and a short straight section 63 connected in sequence, and the long straight section 61 is relatively close to the rotating connection point of the output unit 5 and the sliding seat 3, the long straight section 61 is longer than the short straight section 63, and the ends of the long straight section 61 and the short straight section 63 away from each other are both upwardly inclined. When the guide rod 22 slides in the long straight section 61, the arc section 62 and the short straight section 63 in sequence, the discharge opening of the conveying assembly 52 is always on the same horizontal line.

[0080] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to another embodiment of the present application, the material spreading device further comprises a discharge cylinder 7 vertically arranged at the discharge opening of the connecting seat 1 and opening towards the conveying assembly 52 of the output unit 5 to receive and guide the material and prevent the material from scattering. In this embodiment, the upper end of the discharge cylinder 7 is fixed to the swinging assembly 2, specifically to the L-shaped swinging arm 21, so that the discharge cylinder 7 can swing simultaneously in the swinging process of the L-shaped swinging arm 21, and the included angle between the output unit 5 and the discharge cylinder 7 is always relatively constant, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of clogging or material smashing when the material in the lower end of the discharge cylinder 7 is guided out of the output unit 5.

[0081] The upper opening of the discharge cylinder 7 is larger than the discharge opening of the connecting seat 1, and the discharge opening of the connecting seat 1 extends into the upper opening of the discharge cylinder 7 to prevent the phenomenon of material leakage; and the lower opening of the discharge cylinder 7 is smaller than the width of the belt surface of the conveying assembly 52 to sufficiently convey the material away. The inner dimension of the discharge cylinder 7 gradually decreases from the upper opening to the lower opening to reduce the possibility of material hanging on the inner wall of the discharge cylinder 7.

[0082] With reference to Figure 6 On the other hand, the present application also provides a ladling robot, which comprises the material spreading device of any of the above embodiments and further comprises a lifting column 8 and a main arm conveying assembly 9, one end of the main arm conveying assembly 9 is connected to the top end of the lifting column 8, and the other end is provided with a material conveying assembly.

[0083] When the fermented grains are ladled, the fermented grains need to be conveyed to the material conveyor of the main arm conveying assembly 9, the material conveyor conveys the material to the material conveying assembly at the outlet, and the material is guided to the connecting seat 1 through the material conveying assembly, and then the material spreading device is used for spreading and ladling.

[0084] In the embodiment, the lifting column 8 can be a lifting mechanism with centralized control components. The lifting mechanism can be a worm gear transmission, a gear and rack transmission, a hydraulic transmission, etc. The lifting mechanism can change the horizontal height of the discharge port of the output unit 5 by lifting the lifting column 8, so as to realize the material distribution at different heights.

[0085] The specific working process of the upper distillation robot is as follows: the conveying assembly 52 is started to drive the belt surface to rotate. When the fermented grains fall on the material surface through the connecting seat 1 and the discharging cylinder 7, the fermented grains are conveyed and thrown forward. During the throwing process of the fermented grains, the driving unit 4 is started to drive the swinging assembly 2 to swing, so as to drive the output unit 5 to swing and move, increase the material distribution area, and make the discharge port of the output unit 5 always on the same straight line under the guidance of the curved sliding groove 6, so as to complete the material distribution at the same height. The problems in the prior art, such as the fermented grains clumping, the material being broken, and the uneven distribution of the material when the material is distributed by the upper distillation robot and the falling height difference is large, are solved. Meanwhile, the conveying assembly 52 can be rotated by starting the driving member 13 to realize the circular material distribution.
