[0044] Example

[0045] Example

[0046] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an adjustment device for paint cans, comprising: a conveyor belt 1, a support frame 2, a limiting frame 3, an adjustment mechanism 4, and a guiding mechanism 5. A plurality of placement supports 100 are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt 1. The support frame 2 is vertically arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 1, and a bearing plate 200 is provided on the top of the support frame 2. The limiting frame 3 is arranged on the bearing plate 200, with a first inlet 301 at the top and a first outlet 302 on one side. The adjustment mechanism 4 is arranged on the side of the bearing plate 200 near the first outlet 302. The guiding mechanism 5 is fixed to one end of the bearing plate 200. A plurality of paint cans are arranged within the limiting frame 3. The paint cans move from the first outlet 302 into the adjustment mechanism 4, are adjusted to an upward-facing state, and then enter the guiding mechanism 5. The lower end of the guiding mechanism 5 is aligned with the placement supports 100. Preferably, the bearing plate 200 is inclined, allowing it to guide the paint cans to the adjustment mechanism 4. Paint cans of the same size are placed in the limiting frame 3. Due to the inclined setting of the bearing plate 200, the paint cans piled in the limiting frame 3 can roll toward the first discharge port 302. The paint cans enter the adjustment mechanism 4 one by one. After being identified as positive or negative, the paint cans are put into the guiding mechanism 5 with the opening facing upward. Then, they are moved from the guiding mechanism 5 to the placement support 100 of the conveyor belt 1, thereby realizing the adjustment of the paint cans, saving manpower and improving work efficiency.

[0047] It should be noted that most paint cans are open cylindrical structures, and paint cans stacked in the limiting frame 3 can roll from the first discharge port 302 to the adjusting mechanism 4.

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 3 includes: a frame body 300, a first baffle 310, a second baffle 320, and a rotating plate 330. A first feed inlet 301 is provided at the top of the frame body 300, and a first discharge outlet 302 is provided at the lower end of the frame body 300 near the adjusting mechanism 4. One end of the first baffle 310 is fixed to the first discharge outlet 302, and the other end extends along the adjusting mechanism 4 onto the support plate 200. The second baffle 320 is located on the opposite side of the first baffle 310. One end of the rotating plate 330 is rotatably connected to... Connected to the upper edge of the first discharge port 302, the preferred frame 300 includes: a first U-shaped frame 303 and a second U-shaped frame 304. The first U-shaped frame 303 is vertically mounted on the support plate 200. The two ends of the second U-shaped frame 304 are restricted to move within the two ends of the first U-shaped frame 303. The second baffle 320 is fixed to one side of the second U-shaped frame 304. The second U-shaped frame 304 and the second baffle 320 are an integral structure. Preferably, a transparent observation port is provided on the second U-shaped frame 304 and the second baffle 320. The setting of the first U-shaped frame 303 and the second U-shaped frame 304 enables the limiting frame 3 to adapt to paint cans of different lengths. For paint cans of different specifications, the limiting of the paint can can be achieved by adjusting the second U-shaped frame 304. The first baffle 310 and the second baffle 320 prevent the paint can from sliding off the side edge of the bearing plate 200 during the rolling process. The setting of the rotating plate 330 can play the role of guiding and limiting the amount of material. According to the diameter of the paint can, the rotating plate 330 is adjusted so that the height of the end of the rotating plate 330 near the adjusting mechanism 4 can allow a paint can to roll into the adjusting mechanism 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, an adjusting component 6 is also included. The adjusting component 6 includes a first adjusting rod 600, a second adjusting rod 610, and a fixing member. One end of the first adjusting rod 600 is rotatably connected to one side of the first U-shaped frame 303, and a plurality of first through holes are provided on the first adjusting rod 600 at intervals. One end of the second adjusting rod 610 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 330, and a plurality of second through holes are provided on the second adjusting rod 610 at intervals. The fixing member can pass through the first through holes and the second through holes. The adjusting component 6 makes the rotation angle of the rotating plate 330 adjustable.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotary motor 400, a third baffle 410, and a rotating groove 420. The rotary motor 400 is fixed to the bottom surface of the support plate 200. One side of the third baffle 410 is fixed to the output shaft of the rotary motor 400. The rotating groove 420 is fixed to the upper edge of the third baffle 410, and the edge of the rotating groove 420 is at the same height as the adjacent support plate 200. A fourth baffle 421 extends upward from the other edge of the rotating groove 420. The rotary motor 400 drives the rotating groove 420 to rotate, allowing the paint cans inside the rotating groove 420 to move out from both ends of the rotating groove 420. The third baffle 410 can contact the end of the support plate 200. The rotary motor 400 is connected to a PLC control system. The rotary motor 400 controls the rotation of the paint cans entering the rotating groove 420 to guide them into the material guiding mechanism 5. When the rotating groove 420 starts to rotate, the third baffle 410 contacts the support plate 200 to intercept the next paint can on the support plate 200.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the material guiding mechanism 5 includes: a Y-shaped tube 500 and a fifth baffle 510. The Y-shaped tube 500 is located below the rotating groove 420. Two second feed ports 501 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the Y-shaped tube 500. The rotation of the rotating groove 420 can guide the paint can into the feed port. A second discharge port 502 is arranged at the lower end of the center of the Y-shaped tube 500. The second discharge port 502 is aligned with the placement support 100. The fifth baffle 510 extends vertically upward from the side of the two second feed ports 501 that are far apart from each other. A sensor is arranged on the side of the two fifth baffles 510 that are close to each other. The sensor is connected to the PLC control system and can identify the bottom of the paint can in the rotating groove 420. When the paint can enters the rotating trough 420, the sensor identifies the bottom of the paint can. After the sensor identifies the bottom of the paint can, it transmits a signal to the PLC control system. The PLC control system controls the rotation direction of the rotating motor 400, thereby ensuring that the paint can enter the second feed port 501 with the opening facing upward, and move from the second discharge port 502 to the placement support 100.

[0052] It should be noted that the preferred limiting frame 3 is movable and restricted on the bearing plate 200. Since the adjustment mechanism 4 and the material guiding mechanism 5 are fixed in position, in order to enable the paint can to enter the relatively central position of the rotating groove 420, it is convenient for the sensor to identify the bottom of the paint can.

[0053] The sensor can identify the paint can by measuring the distance through the hole. Due to the setting of the limit frame 3, the relative position of the paint can when it enters the rotating groove 420 can be restricted. The sensor measures the infrared light to the bottom of the inner or outer can of the paint can for identification. Alternatively, during the production of the paint can, it is preferable to set a barcode or QR code on the bottom of the outer can. The sensor can identify the QR code or barcode and thus transmit a signal to the PLC control system.
