[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic ball-removing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Christmas balls are decorative items used in indoor shopping malls and stores, especially during Christmas when colorful Christmas balls can be seen everywhere. To improve painting efficiency, multiple Christmas balls are usually attached to a stand and painted simultaneously.

[0003] Currently, after the Christmas balls on the stand are painted, they need to be removed from the stand. The existing method of removing the balls is mostly done manually, by manually removing each Christmas ball from the stand one by one. This is not only inefficient but also consumes a lot of manpower and has high production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical deficiencies of existing technologies, this invention provides an automatic ball-removing machine.

The clamping rods include an advancing position that extends into the bracket into which the Christmas ball is inserted and a retracting position that releases the Christmas ball. A ball-pulling stick is located at the end of a clamping rod, and the ball-pulling stick contacts the Christmas ball on the bracket to perform the ball-pulling operation. The driving component comprises a second driving mechanism, which drives the clamping component to move longitudinally. The clamping component includes a clamping position that moves toward the bracket on the conveying mechanism in the direction of the Christmas ball inserted, and a ball-pulling position that moves away from the bracket in the direction of the Christmas ball inserted.

[0006] It also includes a flipping component, which is correspondingly located below the ball-pulling mechanism. The flipping component includes a fixed end, and the bracket with the Christmas ball inserted is conveyed to the fixed end through the conveying mechanism and is limited to the fixed end. The fixed end is also provided with a rotary stepper motor that drives the fixed end to flip 90 degrees. The rotary stepper motor drives the fixed end, the bracket on the fixed end, and the Christmas ball on the bracket to flip 90 degrees.

[0007] It also includes a stepper motor, which drives the conveying mechanism and the support on the conveying mechanism with Christmas balls inserted in it to move.

[0008] The clamping assembly also includes a mounting bracket, and the clamping rods are mounted on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has clamping rods on both sides, and the clamping rods on both sides are inclined inward.

[0010] It also includes a feeding assembly, which consists of a feeding ramp and a storage basket, with the feeding ramp located below the ball-pulling mechanism.

[0011] The discharge ramp is a sloping support with one side higher than the other, and the storage basket is located at the lower end of the discharge ramp.

[0012] Clamping assemblies are provided on both sides of the non-movement direction of the conveying mechanism. The ball-pulling stick is located between the clamping rods of the clamping assemblies on both sides of the non-movement direction of the conveying mechanism. The ball-pulling stick and the ball-pulling stick include clamping positions where they move closer to each other as the clamping rods move and ball-pulling positions where they move apart as the clamping rods move.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] An automatic ball-removing machine includes a conveying mechanism 1 that conveys a bracket containing Christmas balls, and a stepper motor 11 that drives the conveying mechanism 1 and the bracket containing Christmas balls on the conveying mechanism 1. A ball-removing mechanism 2 is also provided along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The ball-removing mechanism 2 includes a clamping assembly composed of several sets of clamping rods 21, which are driven by a first driving mechanism 22. The clamping rods 21 have an advancing position extending into the bracket containing Christmas balls and a retracting position releasing the Christmas balls; a ball-removing rod 23 located at the end of the clamping rods 21, which contacts the Christmas balls on the bracket to perform the ball-removing operation; and a driving assembly composed of a second driving mechanism 24 that drives the clamping assembly to move longitudinally. The clamping assembly has a clamping position moving towards the bracket containing Christmas balls on the conveying mechanism 1 and a ball-removing position moving away from the bracket containing Christmas balls. Both the first driving mechanism 22 and the second driving mechanism 24 are cylinders. A flipping assembly is also included, positioned below the ball-pulling mechanism 2. This flipping assembly includes a fixed end 3. A bracket with a Christmas ball inserted is conveyed to the fixed end 3 via the conveying mechanism 1 and engages with the fixed end 3. The fixed end 3 is also equipped with a rotary stepper motor 31 that drives the fixed end 3 to rotate 90 degrees. The rotary stepper motor 31 drives the fixed end 3, the bracket on the fixed end 3, and the Christmas ball on the bracket to rotate 90 degrees. The clamping assembly also includes a mounting bracket 25. Clamping rods 21 are mounted on the mounting bracket 25, with clamping rods 21 on both sides of the mounting bracket 25, and the clamping rods 21 on both sides are inclined inwards. The driving assembly is positioned above the mounting bracket 25, and the second driving mechanism 24 of the driving assembly drives the mounting bracket 25 to move longitudinally. Clamping assemblies are provided on both sides of the non-movement direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The ball-pulling rods 23 are positioned between the clamping rods 21 of the clamping assemblies on both sides of the non-movement direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The ball-pulling rods 23 include clamping positions where they move closer to each other as the clamping rods 21 move, and ball-pulling positions where they move apart as the clamping rods 21 move. Four sets of clamping assemblies are provided on both sides of the non-movement direction of the conveying mechanism 1, one above the other. Each set of clamping assemblies includes two clamping rods 21 on the left and one on the right. The eight clamping rods 21 of the four sets of clamping assemblies are connected to four sets of ball-pulling rods 23 in pairs along the non-movement direction of the conveying mechanism 1.

[0021] The feeding assembly consists of a feeding ramp 4 and a storage basket 5. The feeding ramp 4 is located below the ball-pulling mechanism 2. The feeding ramp 4 is a sloping support with one side higher than the other, and the storage basket 5 is located at the outlet of the lower end of the feeding ramp 4.

[0022] The first and second drive mechanisms can also be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or other commonly used linkage transmission devices.

[0023] During the ball-pulling operation, the stepper motor 11 drives the conveying mechanism 1 to move the bracket containing the Christmas balls to the ball-pulling mechanism 2. The drive assembly drives the clamping assembly to move downwards, and the first drive mechanism 22 drives the clamping rod 21 to advance into the advance position of the bracket containing the Christmas balls. At the same time, the ball-pulling rod 23 and the ball-pulling rod 23 move closer together to clamp the bottom of the Christmas balls on the bracket. The drive assembly drives the clamping assembly to move upwards, and the ball-pulling rod 23 pulls the Christmas balls out of the bracket. The Christmas balls fall into the unloading ramp 4 of the unloading assembly and enter the storage basket 5. Then, the clamping rod 21 retracts and separates from each other. The rotating stepper motor 31 drives the fixed end 3 and the bracket on the fixed end 3 and the Christmas balls on the bracket to rotate 90 degrees. The above operation is repeated to complete the removal of Christmas balls in four directions on the cross-shaped bracket.
