Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of packaging, and in particular to the field of filling operations. Background Art

[0002] Since bottle caps are used as parts and participate in production activities in the form of finished products in the field of filling operations, bottle caps can be stored in advance and then used in the filling operations. When storing bottle caps in advance, in order to maintain the integrity of the bottle cap surface and avoid collisions between bottle caps, the bottle caps are placed in a mold box in a row, and each row of bottle caps is placed in the channel for conveying bottle caps during the filling operation. This method of supplying caps requires workers to participate with their bare hands, which has low production efficiency and high labor intensity. Summary of the invention

[0011] The carrier plate has a first loading station and a second loading station on both sides of the output blowing nozzle.

After the product is loaded at the second loading station, the carrier plate moves toward the first loading station.

When the loading slot corresponds to the position of the pre-tightening nozzle, the pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air toward the blowing inlet, and the compressed air pushes the products to be tightly arranged in the loading slot.

[0014] Preferably, a baffle extending along the moving direction of the loading plate is provided on the outer side of the second end of the loading groove, the baffle is fixed relative to the loading plate and is used to block the product outlet, and the baffle is provided with a notch corresponding to the output nozzle position to enable the product outlet to dock with the conveying channel.

[0015] Preferably, the air inlet and the air outlet ends of the output nozzle and the pre-tightening nozzle are all rectangular structures.

[0016] Preferably, a limiting portion is provided at the first end of the loading slot to limit the product from escaping from the first end of the loading slot.

[0017] Preferably, guiding slopes are provided on both sides of the width of the loading slot.

[0018] Preferably, the output assembly includes a transition bin and a conveyor belt, the conveying channel is arranged inside the transition bin, an opening is arranged below the conveying channel, and the conveyor belt includes a straight conveying section and an arc-shaped transition section, wherein the straight conveying section is embedded in the opening.

[0019] Preferably, a transition surface connected to the straight conveying section is provided at the bottom of the first end of the conveying channel, an arcuate recess is provided at the bottom of the transition surface, and a connecting portion between the arcuate transition section and the straight conveying section cooperates with the arcuate recess.

[0020] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a continuous output method, which uses the continuous output device to achieve continuous output of products, comprising the following steps:

[0021] At the first loading station, the kinematic mechanism of the receiving component cooperates with the adsorption assembly to load the product onto the loading tray;

[0022] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move toward the second loading station, firstly making the first loading slot in the moving direction correspond to the output nozzle, then blowing compressed air to the blowing inlet through the output nozzle, blowing the product in the loading slot to the conveying channel through the product outlet, and the product is discharged outward along the conveying channel;

[0023] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move in steps, and each movement is equal to the distance between two adjacent loading slots, so that the products loaded on the loading tray can be output continuously;

[0024] After the products loaded on the loading tray are continuously output, the translation driver drives the loading tray to move to the second loading station, and at the second loading station, the receiving component loads the products on the loading tray;

[0025] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move toward the first loading station, firstly making the first loading slot in the moving direction correspond to the output nozzle, then blowing compressed air to the blowing inlet through the output nozzle, blowing the product in the loading slot to the conveying channel through the product outlet, and the product is discharged outward along the conveying channel;

[0026] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move in steps, and each movement is equal to the distance between two adjacent loading slots, so that the products loaded on the loading tray can be output continuously;

[0027] The above steps are executed cyclically to realize continuous output of products.

[0028] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The continuous output device of the present invention is used to realize automatic continuous supply of caps. In the receiving component, the adsorption component is driven by the motion mechanism to move between the first position and the second position. The adsorption component sucks the bottle caps in the mold box at the first position and places the bottle caps on the loading tray at the second position.

[0030] Since the loading tray is provided with loading slots that are evenly spaced and extend in a straight line, and each loading slot is arranged with a row of products, the products can be arranged on the loading tray in a rectangular array, and the blowing assembly is arranged on the first side of the loading slot, and the output assembly is arranged on the second side of the loading slot, and the output nozzle of the blowing assembly blows the products in the loading slot to the conveying channel of the output assembly, and outputs them outward along the conveying channel. In this way, the translation driver drives the loading tray to move horizontally one station each time, that is, the distance between two adjacent loading slots, and then the products in each loading slot can be blown to the conveying channel of the output assembly. The above method is continuously performed, and the products can be continuously output outward from the matrix arrangement state, so that the automatic continuous supply of caps can be realized, and the problem of low production efficiency of the existing cap supply method can be solved.

[0031] In addition, the first loading station and the second loading station are set to improve efficiency. After the products loaded on the carrier tray at the first loading station are continuously output, the distance of reverse running to the first loading station is greater than the distance of continuing to run to the second loading station. Therefore, choosing to continue running to the second loading station can improve efficiency, and the cycle can save a lot of time. When the products in the carrier tray are continuously output, the adsorption component can be pre-waited at the second loading station. When the translation drive drives the carrier tray to move to the second loading station, the adsorption component immediately descends at the second loading station to load the products on the carrier tray. Similarly, before the carrier tray returns to the first loading station, the adsorption component can be pre-waited at the first loading station.

[0032] 2. The limit plate is arranged corresponding to the output nozzle and extends along the extension direction of the loading slot. When the loading slot corresponds to the position of the output nozzle, the limit plate covers the space above the loading slot to form a relatively closed structure in the loading slot. In this way, it is convenient to maintain a strong blowing force of the output nozzle airflow on the product in the loading slot, thereby quickly and thoroughly blowing the product in the loading slot into the conveying channel.

[0033] 3. A pre-tightening nozzle is arranged side by side with the output nozzle. Before the output nozzle blows the product in the loading slot, the pre-tightening nozzle works first. When the loading slot corresponds to the position of the pre-tightening nozzle, the pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air toward the loading slot. The compressed air pushes the product to be closely arranged in the loading slot, so that the output nozzle can blow the product in the loading slot into the conveying channel later.

[0034] Since a pre-tensioning nozzle is provided on each side of the output nozzle, the movable range of the loading plate is distributed on both sides of the output nozzle, corresponding to the two loading stations provided on both sides of the output nozzle, and the distance between the pre-tensioning nozzle and the output nozzle is equal to the distance between two adjacent loading slots. Every time the loading plate moves horizontally by one station, the distance between the pre-tensioning nozzle and the output nozzle can be maintained in a state where both the pre-tensioning nozzle and the output nozzle are facing the loading slot, so that the pre-tensioning nozzle and the output nozzle can work at the same time.

[0035] In addition, whether the carrier moves toward the second loading station after loading products at the first loading station, or the carrier moves toward the first loading station after loading products at the second loading station, the pre-tightening nozzle can work first before the output nozzle blows the products in the carrier slot to achieve close arrangement of the products in the carrier slot.

[0036] 4. A baffle is provided on the second side of the loading tank. The loading tank is movable, but the baffle is fixed relative to the loading plate and is used to block the product outlet to limit the product from escaping from the second end of the loading tank. When the pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air to the air inlet, the compressed air pushes the products to be closely arranged in the loading tank due to the blocking of the baffle. In addition, a notch is provided on the baffle corresponding to the output nozzle position so that the product outlet is connected to the conveying channel. Therefore, when compressed air is blown from the output nozzle to the air inlet, the product in the loading tank can be blown to the conveying channel through the product outlet and the notch.

[0037] 5. Taking the continuous supply and output of bottle caps as an example, the bottle caps are placed vertically, and the bottle caps are rectangular in the horizontal side view. Correspondingly, the cross-section of the loading tank is also roughly rectangular. At the same time, the blowing inlet, the output nozzle and the air outlet of the pre-tightening nozzle are all rectangular structures. In this way, the air outlet ends of the output nozzle and the pre-tightening nozzle cooperate with the blowing inlet to avoid excessive leakage at the docking position. The compressed air is basically completely blown into the loading tank to ensure sufficient blowing force to blow the entire row of products in the loading tank into the conveying channel.

[0038] 6. A limiting portion is provided at the first end of the loading slot to limit the product from escaping from the first end of the loading slot.

[0039] 7. Guide slopes are provided on both sides of the width of the upper opening of the loading slot, and the guide slopes on both sides form a trumpet-mouth structure for guiding the product to facilitate the product to be placed from the adsorption component into the loading slot.

[0040] 8. The output assembly is provided with a conveyor belt, and an opening is provided below the conveying channel, wherein the straight conveying section of the conveyor belt is embedded in the opening, so that the bottom of the product entering the conveying channel is supported by the straight conveying section, and the straight conveying section drives the product to be output from the conveying channel. In addition, a transition surface connected to the straight conveying section is provided at the bottom of the first end of the conveying channel, and an arc-shaped recess is provided at the bottom of the transition surface, and the connecting part of the arc-shaped transition section and the straight conveying section cooperates with the arc-shaped recess. This is because there is a gap between the product outlet and the straight conveying section due to the existence of the arc-shaped transition section. In order to fill the gap, a transition surface is provided, so that the product is blown to the straight conveying section through the transition surface after being output from the product outlet, and the straight conveying section performs relay transportation.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the mold box 4 is provided with mold grooves 41 distributed in a rectangular array, each mold groove 41 can hold a product, and bottle caps 23 are used as an example for explanation. The bottle caps are placed in the mold box in a row, and each row of bottle caps is placed in the channel for conveying bottle caps during the filling operation. In order to realize the continuous conveyance of bottle caps from the mold box to the channel for conveying bottle caps, refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a continuous output device, comprising:

[0056] The receiving component 1 is provided with a moving mechanism and an adsorption component 11. The moving mechanism drives the adsorption component 11 to move between a first position and a second position. The adsorption component 11 adsorbs the product at the first position and loads the product onto the loading tray 21 at the second position.

[0057] The carrier assembly 2 includes a carrier plate 21 and a translation driver 22. The translation driver 22 drives the carrier plate 21 to move horizontally. The carrier plate 21 is provided with carrier grooves 211 that are evenly spaced and extend in a straight line, and the extension direction of the carrier grooves is perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier plate. The first end of the carrier groove is provided with an air inlet 212, and the second end is provided with a product outlet 214.

[0058] The output component 3 includes a blowing component 31 and an output component 32, wherein the blowing component 31 is arranged on the first side of the carrier tank, the blowing component 31 includes an output nozzle 311, and the output nozzle 311 is connected to the blowing inlet 212; the output component 32 is arranged on the second side of the carrier tank, the output component 32 is provided with a conveying channel 321, and the conveying channel 321 is connected to the product outlet 214.

[0059] Blow compressed air to the air inlet through the output nozzle, blow the products in the carrier tank to the conveying channel through the product outlet, and the products are arranged in a row in the conveying channel and discharged outward along the conveying channel;

[0060] During the horizontal movement of the loading tray, it reciprocates on both sides of the output nozzle, and there are respectively a first loading station and a second loading station on both sides of the output nozzle. After the product is loaded at the first loading station, the loading tray moves toward the second loading station. After the product is loaded at the second loading station, the loading tray moves toward the first loading station.

[0061] The above technical solution uses a continuous output device to realize automatic continuous supply of caps, and the motion mechanism of the receiving component cooperates with the adsorption component to load the product on the loading tray. Since the loading tray is provided with loading slots that are evenly spaced and extend in a straight line, and a row of products is arranged in each loading slot, the products can be arranged in a rectangular array on the loading tray. The blowing component and the output component in the output component are respectively arranged on the first side and the second side of the loading slot, wherein the output nozzle is connected to the blowing inlet, and the conveying channel is connected to the product outlet, thereby forming a continuous conveying channel, and compressed air is blown to the blowing inlet through the output nozzle, and the product in the loading slot is blown to the conveying channel through the product outlet, and the product is output outward along the conveying channel.

[0062] Corresponding to the above-mentioned continuous output device, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a continuous output method, which uses the above-mentioned continuous output device to achieve continuous output of products, including the following steps:

[0063] At the first loading station, the kinematic mechanism of the receiving component cooperates with the adsorption assembly to load the product onto the loading tray;

[0064] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move toward the second loading station, firstly making the first loading slot in the moving direction correspond to the output nozzle, then blowing compressed air to the blowing inlet through the output nozzle, blowing the product in the loading slot to the conveying channel through the product outlet, and the product is discharged outward along the conveying channel;

[0065] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move in steps, and each movement is equal to the distance between two adjacent loading slots, so that the products loaded on the loading tray can be output continuously;

[0066] After the products loaded on the loading tray are continuously output, the translation driver drives the loading tray to move to the second loading station, and at the second loading station, the receiving component loads the products on the loading tray;

[0067] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move toward the first loading station, firstly making the first loading slot in the moving direction correspond to the output nozzle, then blowing compressed air to the blowing inlet through the output nozzle, blowing the product in the loading slot to the conveying channel through the product outlet, and the product is discharged outward along the conveying channel;

[0068] The translation driver drives the loading tray to move in steps, and each movement is equal to the distance between two adjacent loading slots, so that the products loaded on the loading tray can be output continuously;

[0069] Then, the above steps can be executed repeatedly to achieve continuous output of products.

[0070] In the above technical solution, the first loading station and the second loading station are set to improve efficiency. After the products loaded on the carrier tray at the first loading station are continuously output, the distance of reverse running to the first loading station is greater than the distance of continuing to run to the second loading station. Therefore, choosing to continue running to the second loading station can improve efficiency, and the reciprocating cycle can save a lot of time. When the products in the carrier tray are continuously output, the adsorption component can be pre-waited at the second loading station. When the translation drive drives the carrier tray to move to the second loading station, the adsorption component immediately descends at the second loading station to load the products on the carrier tray. Similarly, before the carrier tray returns to the first loading station, the adsorption component can be pre-waited at the first loading station.

[0071] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the compressed air blown by the output nozzle, the product in the loading tank can be completely blown into the conveying channel. The continuous output device also includes a limit plate 33 arranged corresponding to the output nozzle and extending along the extension direction of the loading tank. When the loading tank corresponds to the position of the output nozzle, the limit plate covers the space above the loading tank to form a relatively closed structure in the loading tank, so that it is easy to maintain a strong blowing force of the output nozzle airflow on the product in the loading tank, so as to quickly and thoroughly blow the product in the loading tank into the conveying channel. The two ends of the limit plate can be connected to the blowing component and the output component respectively.

[0072] In some embodiments, the blowing assembly 31 further includes two pre-tightening nozzles 312 arranged side by side on both sides of the output nozzle 311, and the spacing between the pre-tightening nozzle 312 and the output nozzle 311 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent loading slots. When the loading slot corresponds to the position of the pre-tightening nozzle, the pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air to the blowing inlet, and the compressed air pushes the products to be closely arranged in the loading slot. When the loading tray moves step by step toward the second loading station, the first pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air to the blowing inlet; when the loading tray moves step by step toward the first loading station, the second pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air to the blowing inlet.

[0073] Furthermore, a baffle 34 extending along the moving direction of the loading tray is provided on the second side of the loading tank, and the baffle is fixed relative to the loading tray. The baffle 34 is used to block the product outlet 214, and the baffle is provided with a notch at the position of the output nozzle so that the product outlet can be docked with the conveying channel. Of course, a baffle can be provided on each side of the output component, and a gap can be left in the middle corresponding to the position of the output component to form a notch. The baffle blocks the product outlet to limit the product from escaping from the second end of the loading tank. And when the pre-tightening nozzle blows compressed air to the blowing inlet, due to the obstruction of the baffle, the compressed air pushes the products to be closely arranged in the loading tank. The baffle is provided with a notch at the position of the output nozzle, so when compressed air is blown to the blowing inlet through the output nozzle, the products in the loading tank can be blown to the conveying channel through the product outlet and the notch.

[0074] The present embodiment takes the continuous supply and output of bottle caps as an example. The bottle caps are placed vertically and are rectangular in the horizontal side view. Correspondingly, the cross-section of the loading tank is also roughly rectangular. At the same time, the blowing inlet 212 and the output blow nozzle 311 and the air outlet end of the pre-tightening blow nozzle 312 recorded below are all rectangular structures. In this way, the air outlet ends of the output blow nozzle and the pre-tightening blow nozzle cooperate with the blowing inlet to avoid excessive leakage at the docking position. The compressed air is basically completely blown into the loading tank to ensure sufficient blowing force to blow the entire row of products in the loading tank into the conveying channel.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the first end of the loading slot 211 is provided with a limiter 213, which is used to limit the product from escaping from the first end of the loading slot. The limiters 213 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width of the first end of the loading slot, and a gap is left in the middle of the width to form an air inlet 212. In addition, guide slopes 215 are arranged on both sides of the width of the upper side of the loading slot, and the guide slopes on both sides form a trumpet structure, which is used to guide the product, so as to facilitate the product to be placed from the adsorption component into the loading slot.

[0076] It is understandable that the second loading station may not be provided. After the products loaded on the loading tray of the first loading station are continuously output, the first loading station runs in reverse to return to the first loading station for reloading, and the cycle repeats. Of course, two pre-tightening nozzles 312 are still provided here. If there is product remaining in the loading tank, the second pre-tightening nozzle 312 blows compressed air to the blowing inlet to blow out the remaining product. A recovery channel may also be provided side by side on one side of the output assembly to recover the remaining product.

[0077] Specifically, the adsorption assembly 11 is provided with suction cups 111 arranged in a rectangular array, corresponding to the rectangular array of products on the mold box 4, and the spacing between two rows of suction cups is equal to the spacing between two adjacent loading slots. Therefore, the adsorption assembly can accurately adsorb each product on the mold box in the first position, and in the second position, the products in the row can be placed in the loading slots accordingly.

[0078] Specifically, the motion mechanism includes a translation component 12 and a lifting component 13. The translation component drives the lifting component to move horizontally, and the lifting component drives the adsorption component to move up and down. Among them, the translation component includes a first translation slide rail 121, a first translation drive belt 122 and a first translation motor. The first translation motor drives the first translation drive belt 122 to operate. The lifting component is provided with a first translation slider that slides with the first translation slide rail, and a first fixed part fixed with the first translation drive belt, so that the first translation drive belt drives the lifting component to achieve translation. The lifting component 13 includes a lifting motor 131 or a cylinder, a lifting rod 132, and a fixed bottom plate 133. The lifting motor 131 or the cylinder is fixed to the fixed bottom plate, the fixed bottom plate is connected to the first translation slider, the lower end of the lifting rod 132 is connected to the adsorption component, and the lifting motor 131 or the cylinder drives the lifting rod 132 to move up and down, driving the adsorption component to move up and down. It can be understood that other translation components in the prior art can also be used to achieve translation, and other lifting components in the prior art can also be used to achieve lifting.

[0079] Specifically, the translation driver 22 includes a second translation rail 221, a second translation drive belt 222 and a second translation motor, and the second translation motor drives the second translation drive belt 222 to operate. The carrier plate 21 is provided with a second translation slider that is slidably matched with the second translation rail, and a second fixing portion that is fixed to the second translation drive belt, so that the second translation drive belt drives the carrier plate to translate, and through the forward and reverse rotation of the second translation motor, the carrier plate is reciprocated on both sides of the output nozzle. It can be understood that other translation drivers in the prior art can also be used to achieve the reciprocating horizontal movement of the carrier plate.

[0080] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the output assembly 32 includes a transition bin 323 and a conveyor belt 322, the conveying channel 321 is arranged inside the transition bin, an opening is arranged below the conveying channel, the conveyor belt 322 includes a straight conveying section and an arc-shaped transition section, which are formed by tensioning two pulleys, wherein the straight conveying section is embedded in the opening, so that the bottom of the product entering the conveying channel is supported by the straight conveying section, and the straight conveying section drives the product to be output from the conveying channel. In addition, a transition surface 324 connected to the straight conveying section is arranged at the bottom of the first end of the conveying channel, and an arc-shaped recess 325 is arranged at the bottom of the transition surface, and the connecting part of the arc-shaped transition section and the straight conveying section cooperates with the arc-shaped recess. Because of the existence of the arc-shaped transition section, there is a gap between the product outlet and the straight conveying section. In order to fill the gap, a transition surface is arranged, so that the product is blown to the straight conveying section through the transition surface after being output from the product outlet, and the straight conveying section performs relay conveying. The conveying channel matches the shape of the bottle cap, and the cross section is also designed to be rectangular, with a width and height slightly larger than the shape of the bottle cap, so the bottle cap can be normally conveyed in the conveying channel without tipping over.

[0081] It is understandable that the output component only needs to be provided with a conveying channel, and it is also possible not to provide a conveyor belt. For example, the conveying channel can be provided at an angle so that the product is naturally conveyed along the conveying channel after being output from the product outlet.

[0082] The above is only a specific embodiment of the invention, but the protection scope of the invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
