Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of filling launch, and in particular to a dual-chamber selective supply method. Background Art

[0002] Traditional launchers typically support only one type of material. This single nature limits their application. For example, some applications may require alternating between Type A and Type B, or even multiple types of material. Traditional single-chamber loading methods, with their fixed and inflexible loading channels, often struggle to meet the demands of simultaneously supplying multiple material types. In these situations, traditional launchers are prone to low loading efficiency and time-consuming material switching, impacting the continuity and stability of the production line.

[0003] Secondly, the traditional method of launching filler usually uses an electric cylinder to send the filler directly from the loading chamber into the launcher for launch. This makes the pushing launch stroke of the electric cylinder too long, usually reaching about two meters, which brings certain difficulties to the adjustment of the entire launch device, especially when adjusting the pitch angle.

[0004] In order to improve the performance and efficiency of the launch device, it is urgent to develop a new loading and launching method that has a fast supply speed, supports a variety of loading options, and is easy to adjust. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to: In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a dual-bin selection supply method.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A dual-bin selective supply method is applied to a multi-type filling selection supply device, the multi-type filling selection supply device comprising an adjustment bracket, a pair of filling bins arranged side by side on the adjustment bracket, an adjustment drive assembly and a selection drive assembly, the filling bin being a cylindrical structure, a plurality of filling channels for carrying fillers being arranged at intervals along the circumference of the filling bin, the same filling bin comprising different types of filling channels, each type of channel carrying a corresponding type of filler; the adjustment drive assembly can drive the adjustment bracket to move relative to an output device so that any filling bin corresponds to the output device, the selection drive assembly can drive the bin to rotate around an axis so that a designated filling channel is aligned with the output device, further comprising the following steps: a selection step: inputting a target type of filler, selecting a filling bin according to the target type of filler, and then selecting a filling channel matching the target type of filler according to the selected filling bin;

[0008] The selecting step includes a filling channel selecting stage and a filling bin selecting stage, and the filling channel selecting stage and the filling bin selecting stage can be performed alternatively, simultaneously or sequentially; the filling channel selecting stage includes starting the selection driving assembly, driving the selected filling bin to rotate around the axis, and rotating the selected filling channel to the filling position of the filling bin; the filling bin selecting stage includes starting the adjustment driving assembly, driving the adjustment support to move relative to the output device, so that the filling position of the selected filling bin is aligned with the output device;

[0009] The conveying step includes starting the conveying unit, driving the filling channel at the filling position, moving the filling material in the filling channel at the filling position to the output device under the action of the conveying unit, and resetting the conveying unit; the circulating step includes repeating the above steps to realize continuous supply of the filling material.

[0010] Thanks to the above technical solutions, the method can realize quick switching and continuous supply of various filling materials, and significantly improve the production efficiency. Through the design of pairs of filling bins and multiple types of filling channels, the method can meet the diversified demand for filling materials, while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the filling process.

[0011] Further, in the circulating step, the filling bin selecting stage is performed after the previous conveying step is executed, the selection step and the filling channel selecting step are performed simultaneously with the previous conveying step and / or the filling bin selecting step, and the conveying step is performed after the selection step is completed.

[0012] Thanks to the above technical solutions, the selection step and the filling channel selecting step can be performed simultaneously with the previous conveying step and / or the filling bin selecting step, which can minimize the waiting time in the filling process and improve the overall filling speed.

[0013] Further, the filling material includes A-type filling material, B-type filling material and C-type filling material, the filling channel includes A-type filling channel for carrying A-type filling material, B-type filling channel for carrying B-type filling material, and C-type filling channel for carrying C-type filling material, the A-type filling channel and the B-type filling channel are arranged alternately in one of the filling bins to form a first filling bin, and the A-type filling channel and the C-type filling channel are arranged alternately in the filling bin to form a second filling bin; the pairs of filling bins are two first filling bins, or one first filling bin and one second filling bin.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of loading channels on the paired loading bins is equal, and the intervals between adjacent loading channels are equal and are one adjustment unit; in the selection step, when selecting a loading channel, first determine whether the type of loading material corresponding to the current loading position is consistent with the target type. If not, select the loading channel with an interval of one adjustment unit as the selected loading channel. If so, determine whether the loading material at the current loading position has been launched. If not, select the current loading channel. If so, select the loading channel with an interval of two adjustment units as the selected loading channel.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the maximum rotation angle during the selection phase of the filling channel is two adjustment units. This ensures that when accommodating three different types of filling materials, the adjustment time during the selection phase of the filling channel can be minimized, thereby increasing the speed of the selection phase and ensuring that the three different types of filling materials can be supplied continuously and quickly.

[0016] Furthermore, the filling channel is a long shell structure whose axis is parallel to the filling bin, one side of the filling channel in the length direction is a filling end for outputting fillings, and the other side is a supplementary end for matching with a pushing mechanism; the conveying unit includes a pushing mechanism that can act on the fillings in the filling channel, and the pushing mechanism matches the filling position of the filling bin; in the conveying step, it includes a pushing stage, and the pushing stage includes starting the pushing mechanism, extending into the filling channel at the filling position, pushing the fillings in the filling channel from the supplementary end through the filling end to the output device, and resetting the pushing mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a one-way chain assembly, a guide rail and a one-way chain driving unit, the one-way chain assembly includes a one-way chain link, a pin and an elastic member, a plurality of the one-way chain links are hinged in sequence through the pin to form a chain structure, and the elastic member is arranged between adjacent one-way chain links; when there is no external force, the elastic member applies a force to the one-way chain link to ensure that the adjacent one-way chain links remain in a straight state; when there is an external force, the adjacent one-way chain links overcome the elastic force provided by the elastic member to form a bent structure with an angle at the hinge; in the pushing stage, the one-way chain driving unit is started, driving the one-way chain assembly to extend from the supplementary end of the loading channel. Under the action of the elastic member, the one-way chain assembly remains in a straight state and acts on the filler, so that the filler moves from the loading end of the loading channel to the output device. After the filler moves into place, the one-way chain assembly retreats into the guide rail under the action of the one-way chain driving unit. At this time, the one-way chain assembly in the guide rail bends along the shape of the guide rail.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above-mentioned technical solution, the one-way chain assembly can be bent along the shape of the guide rail, so that the guide rail can be provided with a curvature according to needs to achieve a compact and miniaturized design; the elastic part can ensure that the one-way chain assembly remains in a straight state when extending out of the guide rail, so as to achieve the carrying and pushing of the pushed objects.

[0019] Furthermore, the output device is a launcher, and the adjustment bracket is provided with a launch mechanism, and the launch mechanism can follow the adjustment bracket to match the output device; in the conveying step, it includes a launch stage, and the pushing stage and the launch stage are performed in sequence. The launch stage includes starting the adjustment drive component, driving the adjustment bracket to move relative to the output device, so that the launch mechanism is aligned with the launcher, the launch mechanism is started, and the filling is launched from the launcher under the action of the launch mechanism, and the launch mechanism is reset.

[0020] Due to the adoption of the above-mentioned technical solution, the launching process of the loading object is divided into the pushing stage and the launching stage through the cooperation between the pushing mechanism and the launching mechanism, which can realize the compact and miniaturized design of the device, effectively reduce the length of the electric cylinder, and balance the pitch moment of the launching device; secondly, the power of the pushing mechanism is less than the power of the launching mechanism, and the pushing mechanism and the launching mechanism are used in conjunction with each other to carry out staged launching of the loading object, which can effectively reduce the power of the whole machine.

[0021] Furthermore, the launching mechanism is arranged between the paired loading bins. The launching mechanism is an electric cylinder. During the launching stage, the electric cylinder is started, so that the push rod of the electric cylinder extends and acts on the loading at the launcher, quickly pushing the loading into the launcher for launching. After the launching is completed, the push rod of the electric cylinder retracts and resets.

[0022] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, no matter which side of the filling bin supplies the filling, the waiting time for the filling to be launched is the same and the shortest.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a cradle that can adjust its posture according to the launch requirements, wherein the posture adjustment includes one or more combinations of horizontal rotation, pitch adjustment, roll adjustment and translation adjustment, the cradle includes a connecting flange plate, the adjustment bracket is movably installed on the cradle, the connecting flange plate is provided with a loading port matching the output device, and the loading port is provided with a back-stop mechanism for one-way passage of the filling material; it also includes an adjustment step: driving the cradle to perform pitch adjustment and rotation adjustment according to the target position; the adjustment step can be carried out simultaneously with the pushing stage of the selection step and / or the selection step and / or the conveying step.

[0024] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, rapid and continuous supply of fillings can be achieved during the adjustment of the cradle, and the launch waiting time can be shortened to the maximum extent. The fillings can be restricted at the anti-retraction mechanism, so the pushing mechanism can push the fillings at any time during the pitch and directional movement, achieving the effect of flexibility and time saving.

[0025] Furthermore, the adjustment drive assembly includes a slide rail, a slider, a gear, a rack, and an adjustment drive motor. The slide rail and the rack are arranged parallel to the connecting flange plate. The adjustment bracket is provided with a plurality of sliders matching the slide rail. The adjustment bracket is also equipped with an adjustment drive motor. The output end of the adjustment drive motor is provided with a gear meshing with the rack. After starting the adjustment drive assembly, the adjustment drive motor drives the gear to rotate forward or reverse according to the adjustment target, so that the gear moves forward or reverse along the rack, thereby driving the adjustment bracket to follow the gear.

[0026] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] 1. The present invention can adapt to diverse filling material requirements through the design of paired filling bins and multiple types of filling channels, realizes rapid switching and continuous supply of multiple filling materials, and improves production efficiency.

[0028] 2. The present invention can minimize the waiting time during the filling process and improve the overall filling speed.

[0029] 3. The present invention optimizes the arrangement of the filling channels to ensure that the maximum rotation angle in the filling channel selection stage is two adjustment units, thereby reducing the adjustment time and improving the selection speed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] A dual-bin selection supply method, such as Figure 1-16 As shown, it is applied to a multi-type filling selection and supply device, and the multi-type filling selection and supply device includes an adjustment bracket 42, a filling bin 2 arranged in pairs side by side on the adjustment bracket 42, an adjustment drive assembly 43 and a selection drive assembly. The filling bin 2 is a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of filling channels 21 for carrying fillers are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the filling bin 2. The same filling bin 2 contains different types of filling channels 21, and each type of filling channel 21 carries a corresponding type of filler; the adjustment drive assembly 43 can drive the adjustment bracket 42 to move relative to the output device so that any filling bin 2 corresponds to the output device, and the selection drive assembly can drive the bin 2 to rotate around the axis so that the designated filling channel 21 is aligned with the output device, including the following steps:

[0055] Selection step: inputting the target type of the filling material, selecting the filling bin 2 according to the target type of the filling material, and then selecting the filling channel 21 matching the target type of the filling material according to the selected filling bin 2;

[0056] Selection step: The selection step includes a loading channel 21 selection stage and a loading bin 2 selection stage. The loading channel 21 selection stage and the loading bin 2 selection stage can be performed one by one, simultaneously, or sequentially. The loading channel 21 selection stage includes activating a selection drive assembly to drive the selected loading bin 2 to rotate about an axis to rotate the selected loading channel 21 to the loading position of the loading bin 2. The loading bin 2 selection stage includes activating an adjustment drive assembly 43 to drive the adjustment bracket 42 to move relative to the output device so that the loading position of the selected loading bin 2 is aligned with the output device.

[0057] Conveying step: The conveying unit is started and acts on the filling channel 21 at the filling position. The filling in the filling channel 21 at the filling position is moved to the output device under the action of the conveying unit, and the conveying unit is reset;

[0058] Circulation steps: Repeat the above steps to achieve continuous supply of filling material.

[0059] Specifically, it can achieve rapid switching and continuous supply of multiple filling materials, significantly improving production efficiency. Through the design of paired filling bins 2 and multiple types of filling channels 21, this method can adapt to diverse filling requirements while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the filling process.

[0060] In the loop step, the filling bin 2 selection phase is executed after the previous conveying step is completed, and the filling channel 21 selection phase is executed while the previous conveying step and / or the filling bin 2 selection phase are executed. After the selection phase is completed, the conveying step is executed.

[0061] Specifically, the filling channel 21 selection stage can be executed while executing the previous conveying step and / or the filling bin 2 selection stage, which can minimize the waiting time during the filling process and improve the overall filling speed.

[0062] The filler includes type A filler, type B filler and type C filling channel 21, and the filling channel 21 includes type A filling channel 21 carrying type A filler, type B filling channel 21 carrying type B filler, and type C filling channel 21 carrying type C filler. The type A filling channel 21 and type B filling channel 21 are staggeredly arranged in one of the filling bins 2 to form a first filling bin 22, and the type A filling channel 21 and type C filling channel 21 are staggeredly arranged in the filling bin 2 to form a second filling bin 23; the paired filling bins 2 are a first filling bin 22 and a second filling bin 23.

[0063] The number of loading channels 21 on the paired loading bins 2 is equal, and the intervals between adjacent loading channels 21 are equal and are one adjustment unit. In this embodiment, each loading bin 2 is provided with ten loading channels 21, and the turning angle corresponding to one adjustment unit is 36 degrees. In the selection step, when selecting the loading channel 21, first determine whether the type of loading material corresponding to the current loading position is consistent with the target type. If not, select the loading channel with an interval of one adjustment unit as the selected loading channel. If so, determine whether the loading material at the current loading position has been launched. If not, select the current loading channel. If so, select the loading channel with an interval of two adjustment units as the selected loading channel. For example, if the current filling material position is type A filling (type A filling in the current filling channel 21 has not been launched), and type A filling needs to be launched, then there is no need to complete the filling channel 21 selection stage, and type A filling can be launched directly. If type B filling needs to be launched, select the first filling bin 22 and rotate one adjustment unit. If type C filling needs to be launched, select the second filling bin 23 and rotate one filling channel 21. If type A filling needs to be continued to be launched (type A filling in the current filling channel 21 has been launched), rotate two adjustment units. In this way, a rapid and continuous supply of filling can be achieved.

[0064] Specifically, in the selection step, the maximum rotation angle of the filling channel 21 during the selection phase is two adjustment units. When selecting a filler, the current filling level is compared with the target filling level. The first filling bin 22 and the second filling bin 23 cooperate to ensure that the filling channel 21 selection phase is completed within a maximum rotation time of two adjustment units. This minimizes the adjustment time during the selection phase of the filling channel 21 when accommodating three different types of fillers, thereby increasing the speed of the filling channel 21 selection phase and ensuring that the three different types of fillers can be supplied continuously and quickly. It is understood that this application is also applicable to assembling the same type of filler, assembling two types of filler, or assembling four or even more types of filler. The example of three types of filler in this embodiment is the optimal method.

[0065] The filling channel 21 is a long shell structure with an axis parallel to the filling bin 2. One side of the filling channel 21 in the length direction is a filling end 211 for outputting fillings, and the other side is a supplementary end 212 for matching with the pushing mechanism 1; the conveying unit includes a pushing mechanism 1 that can act on the fillings in the filling channel 21, and the pushing mechanism 1 matches the filling position of the filling bin 2; in the conveying step, it includes a pushing stage, and the pushing stage includes starting the pushing mechanism 1, extending into the filling channel 21 at the filling position, pushing the fillings in the filling channel 21 from the supplementary end 212 through the filling end 211 to the output device, and resetting the pushing mechanism 1.

[0066] The pushing mechanism 1 includes a one-way chain assembly 11, a guide rail 12 and a one-way chain driving unit 13. The one-way chain assembly 11 includes a one-way chain link 111, a pin 112 and an elastic member 113. A plurality of the one-way chain links 111 are hinged in sequence through the pin 112 to form a chain structure. The elastic member 113 is arranged between adjacent one-way chain links 111. When there is no external force, the elastic member 113 applies a force to the one-way chain link 111 to ensure that the adjacent one-way chain links 111 remain in a straight state. When there is an external force, the adjacent one-way chain links 111 overcome the elastic member 113 to 3 forms a bent structure with an angle at the hinge; in the pushing stage, the one-way chain driving unit 13 is activated, driving the one-way chain assembly 11 to extend from the supplementary end 212 of the loading channel 21. Under the action of the elastic member 113, the one-way chain assembly 11 remains in a straight state and acts on the filling material, so that the filling material moves from the filling end 211 of the loading channel 21 to the output device. After the filling material is moved into place, the one-way chain assembly 11 is retracted into the guide rail 12 under the action of the one-way chain driving unit 13. At this time, the one-way chain assembly 11 in the guide rail 12 bends along the shape of the guide rail 12.

[0067] Specifically, the one-way chain assembly 11 can be bent along the shape of the guide rail 12, so that the guide rail 12 can be provided with a curvature as required to achieve a compact and miniaturized design; the elastic member 113 can ensure that the one-way chain assembly 11 remains in a straight state when extending out of the guide rail 12, so as to achieve the carrying and pushing of the pushed object.

[0068] The guide rail 12 is a hollow shell, and the guide rail 12 includes an assembly section 121, a rotating section 122 and a storage section 123. The two ends of the assembly section 121 are respectively a connecting end and an open end. The connecting end of the assembly section 121 is connected to the storage section 123 through the rotating section 122 to form a circular structure, and the open end can be used for the one-way chain assembly 11 to extend out. The one-way chain assembly 11 in the storage state is a circular structure adapted to the guide rail 12, and the storage section 123 of the guide rail 12 is parallel to and matches the filling bin 2. The assembly section 121 and the storage section 123 of the guide rail 12 are parallel to each other, and the length of the assembly section 121 is less than the length of the storage section 123. The loading channel 21 is parallel to the storage section 123 of the guide rail 12, and the open end of the assembly section 121 can match with the supplementary end 212 of the loading channel 21 rotated to the loading position. The one-way chain assembly 11 can extend out from the open end and extend into the guide rail 12 to push the filler. When the one-way chain assembly 11 extends from the open end of the assembly section 121, the extended one-way chain link 111 is maintained in a straight state under the action of the elastic member 113. The one-way chain assembly 11 in the straight state can enter the filling channel 21 to act on the filler, so that the filler is pushed to the filling port 411 in the filling channel 21. After the pushing is completed, the one-way chain assembly 11 can retreat under the action of the one-way chain drive unit 13 and be stored in the guide rail 12.

[0069] The protruding end of the one-way chain assembly 11 is further provided with a pusher head 114 that can act on the object to be pushed. The pusher head 114 is connected to the protruding end of the one-way chain assembly 11 .

[0070] The pusher head 114 includes an operating portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is located in the middle of the operating portion. The operating portion and the connecting portion cooperate to form a T-shaped structure. The one-way chain assembly 11 is hinged to the connecting portion. A guide wheel 115 is provided at the end of the operating portion near the one-way chain assembly 11. Pairs of guide wheels 115 are provided at both ends of the operating portion, allowing the pusher head 114 to slide into the pushing channel after entering it, effectively reducing frictional resistance.

[0071] The one-way chain link 111 includes a support portion and a hinge portion. The paired hinge portions are relatively arranged on both sides of the width of the support portion. The ends of the hinge portions in the length direction are provided with connecting ears that can match the pins 112. The pins 112 pass through the corresponding connecting ears of two adjacent one-way chain links 111 to articulate the adjacent one-way chain links 111. When the one-way chain assembly 11 is in a straight state, the support portions of adjacent one-way chain links 111 are in the same plane.

[0072] Both ends of the pin shaft 112 are rotatably connected to guide wheels 115 , which effectively reduces the friction resistance generated when the one-way chain assembly 11 bends in the guide rail 12 .

[0073] The one-way chain drive unit 13 includes a one-way chain drive motor 131 and a sprocket 132. The sprocket 132 matches the one-way chain assembly 11. The sprocket 132 is provided with sprocket teeth that match the one-way chain assembly 11. The one-way chain drive motor 131 can drive the sprocket 132 to rotate. When the sprocket 132 rotates, it drives the one-way chain link 111 to extend or retract into the guide rail 12 through the sprocket teeth.

[0074] The radially outward side of the loading channel 21 of the corresponding left loading bin 2 is the radially inward side of the loading channel 21 of the corresponding right loading bin 2, and the radially inward side of the loading channel 21 of the corresponding left loading bin 2 is the radially outward side of the loading channel 21 of the corresponding right loading bin 2.

[0075] Specifically, the filling position of the left filling bin 2 is on its right side, and the filling position of the right filling bin 2 is on its left side. The above design scheme can ensure that the filling materials supplied by the filling bins 2 on both sides enter the filling port in the same direction.

[0076] The output device is a launcher, and a launch mechanism is provided on the adjustment bracket 42. The launch mechanism can follow the adjustment bracket 42 until it matches the output device. In the conveying step, it includes a launch stage, and the pushing stage and the launch stage are performed in sequence. The launch stage includes starting the adjustment drive component 43, driving the adjustment bracket 42 to move relative to the output device, so that the launch mechanism is aligned with the launcher, the launch mechanism is started, and the filling is launched from the launcher under the action of the launch mechanism, and the launch mechanism is reset.

[0077] Specifically, by cooperating with the pushing mechanism 1 and the launching mechanism, the launching process of the loaded object is divided into the pushing stage and the launching stage, which can realize the compact and miniaturized design of the device, effectively reduce the length of the electric cylinder 3, and balance the pitch moment of the launching device; secondly, the power of the pushing mechanism 1 is less than the power of the launching mechanism. The use of the pushing mechanism 1 and the launching mechanism in cooperation to carry out staged launching of the loaded object can effectively reduce the power of the whole machine.

[0078] The launching mechanism is arranged between the paired loading bins 2. The launching mechanism is an electric cylinder 3. During the launching stage, the electric cylinder 3 is started, so that the push rod 31 of the electric cylinder 3 extends and acts on the loading at the launcher, quickly pushing the loading into the launcher for launching. After the launching is completed, the push rod 31 of the electric cylinder 3 retracts and resets.

[0079] Specifically, no matter which side of the filling magazine 2 supplies the filling, the waiting time for the filling to be launched is the same and the shortest.

[0080] Specifically, the moving thrust provided by the pushing mechanism 1 can be used to move the filler in the filling bin 2.
