Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vacuum flask processing automation, and in particular relates to a visual matching device and a production line for vacuum flask processing. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of thermos cups, the matching of the inner liner and the outer shell is the first step in the welding process of the thermos cup. It mainly involves combining the inner liner and the outer shell and matching them together through pressure before welding them. Therefore, the matching of the inner liner and the outer shell is related to the yield rate of the subsequent welding of the thermos cup, and is also an important link in ensuring the quality of the finished product of the thermos cup welding.

[0003] Currently, the inner liner and the outer shell are mainly matched manually or automatically. When manual matching is adopted, the matching degree of the inner liner and the outer shell is manually screened and tested before press-fitting. In this way, the matching yield rate of the thermos cup is relatively high, but the labor intensity of the workers is high, and the product efficiency and quality are easily affected by the workers' proficiency and fatigue. The labor cost is high and there is a risk of work-related accidents. When automated production matching is adopted, when the position of the inner liner and the outer shell placed by the robot deviates, directly press-fitting the inner liner and the outer shell without screening and testing for matching degree will cause the thermos cup to be scrapped, increase the production cost of the thermos cup, and affect the production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problems of low production efficiency, unstable yield, and easy injury to personnel in the existing mouth-matching process of thermos cups in the production process, it is urgent to propose a thermos cup mouth-matching equipment suitable for automated production to meet the existing thermos cup production needs of reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

When the matching gap information meets the press-fitting condition, the pressing operation is performed, otherwise the pressing operation is not performed. After the press-fitting is completed, the controller controls the rotary drive source 21 to drive, so that the cup mold ejection mechanism 3 with the thermos cup 37 after press-fitting placed on the turntable 22 rotates to the bottom of the post-matching detection mechanism 6 on the post-matching detection support frame 13.

Preferably, the pressing driving source 51 adopts a motor as a power source, and the pressing telescopic rod 52 adopts a screw rod. The motor transmits power to the screw rod through a transmission device (such as a coupling, a synchronous pulley or a gear), so that the screw rod rotates and moves up and down. The controller controls the pressing driving source 51 to make the pressing distance of the screw rod more accurate. More preferably, the pressing support frame 12 includes at least two pressing columns 121 arranged on the frame 1, a pressing top plate 122 connected to the upper ends of the at least two pressing columns 121 and a pressing partition 123 connected to the middle parts of the two pressing columns, the pressing guide assembly 53 includes a guiding upper plate 531, a guiding lower plate 532, and at least two guide rods 533 that can slide up and down and pass through the pressing partition 123 and are respectively connected to the guiding upper plate 531 and the guiding lower plate 532, the lower end of the pressing telescopic rod 52 is arranged on the guiding upper plate 531, and the pressing guide assembly 53 is used to ensure the pressing path of the pressing telescopic rod 52 to prevent deviation during the pressing process and avoid failure of the thermos cup 37 to be fitted during press-fitting.

[0034] As a further preferred embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the downward pressure buffer assembly 54 includes a single-acting cylinder 541 arranged on the guide lower plate 532 and a press-fit mold 544 arranged at the lower end of the telescopic rod of the single-acting cylinder 541. Preferably, the downward pressure buffer assembly 54 includes a downward pressure buffer shaft seat 542 arranged on the guide lower plate 532 and a downward pressure buffer shaft sleeve 543 arranged in the downward pressure buffer shaft seat 542. It should be noted that the downward pressure buffer shaft sleeve 543 can also be replaced by a linear bearing, and the telescopic rod of the single-acting cylinder 541 is arranged in the downward pressure buffer shaft sleeve 543. The downward pressure buffer assembly 54 is used to alleviate the instantaneous impact on the thermos cup 37 when the downward pressure driving source 51 drives the downward telescopic rod 52 to press downward, so as to prevent the thermos cup 37 from being damaged and scrapped due to excessive downward pressure during press-fitting.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the cup mold ejection mechanism 3 includes an ejection collision plate 31, an ejection mounting shaft seat 32, a linear bearing 33, an ejection shaft 34, a lifting spring 35 and a cup mold 36.

When the ejection shaft 34 moves upward, the ejection collision plate 31 is clamped on the lower end of the ejection mounting shaft seat 32, and the upper end of the ejection shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cup mold 36. Preferably, an impact buffer plate is provided on the frame 1 under the cup mold ejection mechanism 3 corresponding to the pressing support frame 12.

The ejection collision plate 31 at the lower end of the ejection shaft 34 contacts the impact buffer plate, thereby preventing the pressing pressure applied by the pressing mechanism 5 from affecting the turntable 22 and the ejection mounting shaft seat 32, thereby preventing the turntable 22 and the ejection mounting shaft seat 32 from deformation and damage. After pressing down, the single-acting cylinder 541 resets, and the lifting spring 35 lifts the cup mold 36, driving the ejection shaft 34 upward, thereby preventing the ejection collision plate 31 from colliding with the impact buffer plate when the turntable 22 rotates.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
