Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent packaging equipment technology, and in particular relates to an automatic reciprocating translation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the irreversible and powerful trend of industrial automation and intelligentization sweeping across all industries, intelligent packaging equipment has been widely applied in various fields. Of course, intelligent packaging equipment appears in various specific forms in different scenarios. One common type is the translation device, which is sometimes used as part of the overall intelligent equipment's actuator. For translation devices, there are various motion mechanisms capable of achieving translational movement. Technicians in related fields have never stopped exploring the use of innovative mechanisms to achieve translational movement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides an automatic reciprocating translation mechanism to solve the problems in the background art mentioned above.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic reciprocating translation mechanism includes a base, a drive unit, a horizontal transmission unit, a vertical transmission unit, and an execution unit. The base connects the entire device to an external actuating component, which drives the entire device through the base to complete lifting or other necessary movements. This is then superimposed with the device's own translational movement to achieve various complex motion forms. The drive unit is mounted on the base, and the horizontal and vertical transmission units are respectively mounted on the base and connected to the drive unit for transmission. The horizontal and vertical transmission units are respectively hinged to the execution unit, driving the execution unit to perform translational movements.

[0006] The base section includes a connecting plate, a motor platform, bearing seats, a front bracket, a rear bracket, and a bearing cover plate. The connecting plate has a motor platform at its front end, on which the motor of the drive unit is mounted. Three bearing seats are evenly distributed on the connecting plate, and the drive unit's rotating shaft is hinged to each bearing seat. The front of the connecting plate has a front bracket, on which a horizontal transmission unit is mounted. The rear of the connecting plate has a rear bracket, on which a vertical transmission unit is mounted. The bearing cover plate covers the rotating shaft and mounts it onto the bearing seats. The top of the front bracket has a first large sprocket, fixed to the top of the front bracket. The rotation of the horizontal connecting rod is achieved through the cooperation of a chain and a first small sprocket. The middle of the rear bracket has a lower platform, and the top of the rear bracket has an upper platform. The lower and upper platforms together mount the vertical transmission unit. A second large sprocket is connected to the front side of the top of the rear bracket.

[0007] The drive unit includes a motor, a rotating shaft, a connecting key, and a first bevel gear. The motor is mounted on a motor platform, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling. The rotating shaft has two keyways, within which a connecting key is installed. The connecting key connects to the first bevel gear for transmission. The first bevel gear is a pair, meshing with the second and third bevel gears of the horizontal transmission unit, respectively. The connecting key also engages with the rotating groove of the bearing bush to achieve axial positioning of the rotating shaft.

[0008] The horizontal transmission unit includes a horizontal rocker arm, a horizontal connecting rod, and a horizontal chain. The horizontal rocker arm is hinged to the front bracket. The bottom of the horizontal rocker arm has a second bevel gear. The front end of the horizontal rocker arm is hinged to the horizontal connecting rod. The bottom of the horizontal connecting rod has a first small sprocket. A horizontal chain is installed between the first small sprocket and the first large sprocket. Since the first large sprocket is fixed to the front bracket, the first small sprocket rotates under the action of the horizontal chain, which further drives the horizontal connecting rod to rotate. The front end of the horizontal connecting rod is hinged to the actuator. The vertical transmission unit includes a vertical transmission rod, a vertical swing arm, a vertical connecting rod, and a vertical chain. The vertical transmission rod is installed vertically, and its upper and lower ends are respectively equipped with a third bevel gear and a fourth bevel gear. The third bevel gear meshes with the fifth bevel gear of the vertical swing arm. The vertical swing arm is hinged to the shaft where the second large sprocket is located. The fifth bevel gear is located at the rear end of the vertical swing arm. The end of the vertical swing arm is hinged to the vertical connecting rod. The rear end of the vertical connecting rod has a second small sprocket. The vertical chain connects the second small sprocket and the second large sprocket. The end of the vertical connecting rod is hinged to the actuator. The actuator includes a pallet, a lower boss, and a rear boss. The material to be transferred is placed on the pallet. The lower boss extends downward from the bottom of the pallet and is hinged to the horizontal connecting rod. The rear part of the pallet has a rear boss, which is hinged to the vertical connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting plate has a reinforcing plate in the middle, which supplements the overall strength of the connecting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple connection holes are evenly distributed on the reinforcing plate, which connect the connecting plate and the entire device to the external drive component.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the bearing seat has a bearing shell, which, together with the bearing shell cover plate, completes the hinged installation of the shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer end faces of the bearing bush and bearing bush cover at the end are both equipped with rotating grooves. The rotating grooves provide space for the connecting key on the shaft to rotate and limit the shaft to prevent accidental lateral movement.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] The present invention relates to a translation mechanism for intelligent packaging equipment, which has a set of driving mechanisms that drive translation execution mechanisms located in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. The horizontal and vertical translation mechanisms work together to drive the pallet to translate, and the material can be translated as needed. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

[0020] See Figures 1-3The automatic reciprocating translation mechanism shown includes a base 10, a drive unit 20, a horizontal transmission unit 30, a vertical transmission unit 40, and an execution unit 50. The base 10 connects the entire device to an external actuating component. The external actuating component drives the entire device through the base 10 to complete lifting or other necessary movements, and then superimposes the translational movement of the device itself to achieve various complex motion forms. The drive unit 20 is mounted on the base 10. The horizontal transmission unit 30 and the vertical transmission unit 40 are respectively mounted on the base 10 and connected to the drive unit 20 for transmission. The horizontal transmission unit 30 and the vertical transmission unit 40 are respectively hinged to the execution unit 50, driving the execution unit 50 to perform translational movement.

[0021] The base section 10 includes a connecting plate 11, a motor platform 12, a bearing seat 13, a front bracket 14, a rear bracket 15, and a bearing cover plate 16. The front end of the connecting plate 11 has a motor platform 12, on which a motor 21 of the drive unit 20 is mounted. Three bearing seats 13 are evenly distributed on the connecting plate 11, and the rotating shaft 22 of the drive unit 20 is hinged to the bearing seat 13. The front part of the connecting plate 11 has a front bracket 14, on which a horizontal transmission unit 30 is mounted. The rear part of the connecting plate 11 has a rear bracket 15, on which a vertical transmission unit 30 is mounted. The bearing cover plate 16 covers the rotating shaft 22 and mounts it on the bearing seat 13.

[0022] The connecting plate 11 has a reinforcing plate 111 in the middle. The reinforcing plate 111 supplements the overall strength of the connecting plate 11. Multiple connecting holes 112 are evenly distributed on the reinforcing plate 111. The connecting holes 112 connect the connecting plate 11 and the entire device to the external driving component.

[0023] The top of the bearing seat 13 has a bearing bush 131, which cooperates with the bearing bush cover plate 16 to complete the hinged installation of the rotating shaft 22. The outer end face of the bearing bush 131 and the bearing bush cover plate 16 at the end both have a rotating groove 132. The rotating groove 132 provides rotation space for the connecting key 23 on the rotating shaft 22 and plays a limiting role for the rotating shaft 22 to prevent the rotating shaft 22 from moving laterally accidentally.

[0024] The front bracket 14 has a first large sprocket 141 at the top. The first large sprocket 141 is fixed to the top of the front bracket 14. The rotation of the horizontal connecting rod 32 is achieved by the cooperation of the chain and the first small sprocket 321.

[0025] The rear support 15 has a lower platform 151 in the middle and an upper platform 152 at the top. The lower platform 151 and the upper platform 152 are used to install the vertical transmission part 40. The second large sprocket 153 is connected to the front side of the top of the rear support 15.

[0026] The drive unit 20 includes a motor 21, a rotating shaft 22, a connecting key 24, and a first bevel gear 24. The motor 21 is mounted on the motor platform 12. The output shaft of the motor 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 22 via a coupling 211. The rotating shaft 22 has two keyways 221, and a connecting key 23 is installed in the keyways 221. The connecting key 23 connects to the first bevel gear 24 for transmission. The first bevel gear 24 is a pair, meshing with the second bevel gear 311 and the third bevel gear 411 of the horizontal transmission unit 30, respectively. The connecting key 23 also cooperates with the rotating groove 132 of the bearing bush 131 to achieve axial positioning of the rotating shaft 22.

[0027] The horizontal transmission unit 30 includes a horizontal rocker arm 31, a horizontal connecting rod 32, and a horizontal chain 33. The horizontal rocker arm 31 is hinged to the front bracket 14. The bottom of the horizontal rocker arm 31 has a second bevel gear 311. The front end of the horizontal rocker arm 31 is hinged to the horizontal connecting rod 32. The bottom of the horizontal connecting rod 32 has a first small sprocket 321. The horizontal chain 33 is installed between the first small sprocket 321 and the first large sprocket 141. Since the first large sprocket 141 is fixed to the front bracket 14, the first small sprocket 321 rotates under the action of the horizontal chain 33, which further drives the horizontal connecting rod 32 to rotate. The front end of the horizontal connecting rod 32 is hinged to the actuator 50.

[0028] The vertical transmission unit 40 includes a vertical transmission rod 41, a vertical rocker arm 42, a vertical connecting rod 43, and a vertical chain 44. The vertical transmission rod 41 is installed vertically, and its upper and lower ends are respectively equipped with a third bevel gear 411 and a fourth bevel gear 412. The third bevel gear 412 meshes with the fifth bevel gear 421 of the vertical rocker arm 42. The vertical rocker arm 42 is hinged to the shaft where the second large sprocket 153 is located. The fifth bevel gear 421 is located at the rear end of the vertical rocker arm 42. The end of the vertical rocker arm 42 is hinged to the vertical connecting rod 43. The rear end of the vertical connecting rod 43 is equipped with a second small sprocket 431. The vertical chain 44 is connected between the second small sprocket 431 and the second large sprocket 153. The end of the vertical connecting rod 43 is hinged to the actuator 50.

[0029] The execution unit 50 includes a pallet 51, a lower boss 52 and a rear boss 53. The material to be transferred is placed on the pallet 51. The lower boss 52 extends downward from the bottom of the pallet 51 and is hinged to the horizontal connecting rod 32. The rear part of the pallet 51 has a rear boss 53, which is hinged to the vertical connecting rod 43.

[0030] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 22 drives the second bevel gear 311 and the third bevel gear 411 to rotate through two first bevel gears 24 respectively. The rotation of the second bevel gear 311 further drives the horizontal swing arm 31 to rotate, and the horizontal swing arm 31 drives the horizontal connecting rod 32 to swing. At the same time, since the first small sprocket 321 at the bottom of the horizontal swing arm 31 is connected to the first large sprocket 141 through the chain and the first large sprocket 141 is fixed, the first small sprocket 321 rotates under the drive of the chain, and then the horizontal connecting rod 32 also rotates. The action on the lower boss 52 is horizontal movement. Similarly, the third bevel gear 411 drives the rear boss 53 to translate through its corresponding component transmission, and the movement reflected on the support plate 51 is the horizontal movement of the support plate 51.

[0031] The above embodiments primarily illustrate the automatic reciprocating translation mechanism of the present invention. Although only a limited number of embodiments and technical features have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can be implemented in many other forms without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the illustrated embodiments are considered illustrative rather than limiting, and the present invention may encompass various modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
