Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of zip-top can filling production line, in particular to a zip-top can unstacking and screening device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Zip-top cans are often used for filling beer, soda and other drinks as a sealed container.
[0003] The process of zip-top can filling needs to go through the processes of forming, painting, stacking, transporting, unstacking, screening, filling and packaging, and finally product stacking. If the zip-top cans are purchased as semi-finished products, the unstacking process will be directly started.
[0004] After unstacking, the zip-top cans will generally be screened. During the screening process, zip-top cans with damaged and bent outer surfaces and zip-top cans placed upside down need to be picked out. This step will use zip-top can unstacking and stacking equipment or unstacking equipment to unstack and disperse the zip-top cans on the conveyor belt. Since damaged zip-top cans are difficult to pick out by sensors and equipment, workers need to manually screen the zip-top cans on both sides of the conveyor belt. Although the rate of defective products is low, manual screening is difficult to achieve uninterrupted and efficient screening due to the large number of zip-top cans.
[0005] The outer profile of the zip-top cans can be recognized by an infrared sensor in the sensor, but it is difficult for zip-top cans that are close together to quickly pass through the recognition position and rotate to cooperate with the recognition. Therefore, the efficiency of automatic screening is also relatively low, and the screening speed is difficult to match the unstacking speed. Only by increasing the screening line can the speed be matched. However, this will increase the space occupied and the cost, which is not as good as manual screening. SUMMARY

In the process of moving the lower pressing column downward, the abutment between the turnover plate and the necked portion at the top of the pull-tab can drives the moving plate to slide, thereby improving the stability of the structure cycle;
[0043] The normal pull-tab cans will not trigger the first trigger button in the process of moving the lower pressing column downward, and then the third telescopic cylinder will not run. The reversed pull-tab cans are directly ejected downward by the bottom plate, so that the online automatic screening and rejection of the pull-tab cans are realized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The top wall of the limiting cavity 432 is mounted with a second trigger button 4321, which is pressed by the limiting plate 5121 when the unlocking block 5132 is located in the trigger hole 433. If the time for the piston rod of the first telescopic cylinder 121 to extend out by the same length as the pull-tab can is Xs, the third telescopic cylinder 4211 will be moved only when the second trigger button 4321 is triggered within Xs after the first trigger button 4341 is triggered, and the piston rod of the third telescopic cylinder 4211 will move the trigger column 521 to the position where the fixing plate 5137 is located in the fixing groove 5232 during the extension process.
[0065] The lower pressing column 43 moves downward into the pop can, the top edge of the pop can abuts against the turnover plate 72 and presses the moving plate 71, so that the moving plate 71 moves, the unlocking block 5132 and the fixing block 5135 are ejected from the trigger hole 433, and then the detection disc 513 and the trigger column 521 are unlocked at the same time, the trigger column 521 moves upward, and the detection rod 512 moves downward. In this process, the detection arc plate 511 extends out and abuts against the inner wall of the pop can, the clamping block 5112 is clamped in the clamping groove 5221 to re-fix the position of the trigger column 521. In the process of the lower pressing column 43 continuing to move downward, if there is a protrusion on the inner wall of the pop can, the detection arc plate 511 will be driven to rotate through the abutment with the extension arc plate 5111, and then the linkage disc 5123 will be pressed downward through the rocker plate 5124, so that the plurality of detection arc plates 511 rotate at the same angle, and then the clamping block 5112 is separated from the clamping groove 5221. The trigger column 521 is unlocked and pops up and presses the first trigger button 4341, and then the lower pressing column 43 moves downward to the bottom plate 5126 abutting against the inner bottom wall of the pop can, and drives the detection rod 512 to move upward to the position where the unlocking block 5132 is located in the trigger hole 433, which realizes the reset of the detection arc plate 511 on the one hand, and presses the second trigger button 4321 on the other hand. Only when the corresponding third telescopic cylinder 4211 is extended, the pop can below is ejected from the feeding hole 31 through the ejecting assembly 6 and drives the trigger column 521 to move to the position where the fixing plate 5137 is located in the fixing groove 5232. In the process of the pop can moving downward relative to the lower pressing column 43, the top edge of the pop can will abut against the turnover plate 72 from the top, and drive the turnover plate 72 to rotate into the turnover groove 711, without moving the moving plate 71, and then the fixing block 5135 and the unlocking block 5132 are ejected. In this way, the online detection and waste rejection of the pop can are effectively realized.
[0066] Reference Figure 9 The ejecting assembly 6 includes an ejecting disc 61, an ejecting rod and a reset rod 63. The ejecting disc 61 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the piston rod of the third telescopic cylinder 4211. The ejecting plate 62 is arranged at the bottom edge position of the ejecting disc 61 and is staggered with the position of the trigger hole 433. The ejecting plate 62 abuts against the circumferential outer wall of the lower pressing column 43, and the position of the lower pressing column 43 is staggered with the separation plate 44. The lower pressing column 43 is provided with a reset hole 435 communicated with the trigger cavity 434 at the top, and the position of the reset hole 435 is staggered with the first trigger button 4341. The reset rod 63 is fixedly arranged on the lower surface of the lower pressing plate 22, and the reset rod 63 is slidably connected with the reset hole 435. When the piston rod of the third telescopic cylinder 4211 extends to the reset rod 63 and ejects the trigger column 521 to the position where the fixing block 5135 is located in the fixing groove 5232, the ejecting rod completely ejects the pop can from the feeding hole 31.
[0067] When the third telescopic rod meets the extension condition, the piston rod of the corresponding third telescopic rod extends, the ejection rod ejects the can from the discharge hole 31, and the trigger column 521 is ejected to the position where the fixed plate 5137 is located in the fixed groove 5232 through the reset rod 63, the reset of the trigger column 521 is realized, and the action cycle is formed.
[0068] The implementation principle of the can unstacking and screening device is as follows: empty cans are transferred to the conveying belt 11 in layers on the unstacking machine body 1 and are arranged in order by the flow divider 111 during conveying, and when the empty cans are moved to the screening plate 3, the intercepting plate 21 is turned out by the extension of the first telescopic cylinder 121 to intercept the empty cans on the screening plate 3. Then, the second telescopic cylinder 41 drives the pressing column 43 to move downward, and in the process of the pressing column 43 extending into the empty can, the top edge of the empty can abuts against the turnover plate 72 and drives the moving plate 71 to move, the unlocking block 5132 and the fixed block 5135 are ejected, the detection rod 512 moves downward, and the trigger column 521 moves upward. In this process, the detection arc plate 511 extends and abuts against the side wall of the empty can through the bottom and the extended arc plate 5111. The clamping plate abuts against the first vertical plate 522 and is clamped in the clamping groove 5221 to fix the position of the trigger column 521. Then, in the process of the pressing column 43 moving downward, if there is a protrusion on the inner wall of the empty can, the detection arc plate 511 or the extended arc plate 5111 will abut against the protrusion and drive the detection arc plate 511 to rotate, the detection arc plate 511 drives the linkage disc 5123 to move downward through the abutment with the rocker plate 5124, and then drives a plurality of detection arc plates 511 to rotate together, so that the clamping block 5112 is separated from the clamping groove 5221, the trigger column 521 is popped up to trigger the first trigger button 4341, and then the pressing column 43 moves downward to the bottom plate 5126 to abut against the inner bottom wall of the empty can and drive the pressing column 43 to move upward to the position where the unlocking block 5132 is located in the trigger hole 433. At this time, the second trigger button 4321 is triggered, the corresponding third telescopic cylinder 4211 moves downward after meeting the condition, and the corresponding empty can is ejected downward through the ejecting plate 62. In this process, the turnover plate 72 abuts against the top edge of the empty can and turns into the turnover groove 711, and the moving plate 71 is not driven to slide; in this process, the reset rod 63 abuts against the trigger column 521 and drives the trigger column 521 to move to the position where the fixed plate 5137 is located in the fixed groove 5232 for fixation. If the empty can is intact and placed normally, the first trigger button 4341 will not be triggered, and the corresponding third telescopic cylinder 4211 will not be moved. If the empty can is placed upside down, it will be directly ejected by the bottom plate 5126. In this way, the online detection and rejection of empty cans can be conveniently realized, the subsequent empty cans can be repositioned on the conveying belt 11, and then the empty cans can be conveniently restacked or conveyed to the next link, thereby improving the efficiency of empty can detection and rejection.
