Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation method for a bowl can collection and packaging system, including a guide cage 10 for conveying materials;

[0040] The transition tank unit 30, the turnover circulation tank unit 40, the stepping tank unit 50, and the discharging unit are parallel to the guide cage 10, and the output end of the guide cage 10 is perpendicular to the input end of the transition tank unit 30 of the short-term tank and the two are connected to each other;

[0041] The overturning circulation storage tank unit 40 is rotatably connected to the input end of the discharging unit, and the overturning circulation storage tank unit 40 is connected to the transition storage tank unit 30 through the stepping lower tank unit 50 .

[0042] Finished cans are accurately counted by the counting photoelectric device on the conveyor line and then conveyed to the guide cage 10. They fall into the transition tank unit 30 through the guide cage 10. When the set number is reached, the transition tank unit 30 starts working and the cans are handed over to the stepping tank claw 505 of the stepping tank unit 50. As the second cylinder 502 descends to the handover position, the stepping tank claw 505 is retracted. The designated number of cans are stacked in the circulating tank cage 402 of the overturning circulating tank unit 40 to complete the handover. The circulating tank cage 402 overturns the designated number of cans onto the Saigang track 70. The first can pushing unit 60 pushes the cans on the Saigang track 70 onto the second can pushing unit 80. After the can collecting sensor lights up, the second can pushing unit 80 pushes the cans to the manual can collecting platform 90 for bagging and packaging.

[0043] The automatic stacking and counting of bowls and cans is realized, and the invention has a compact structure, occupies a small space, has a continuous collection transition, does not cause cans to be squeezed, reduces bumps and improves product quality.

[0044] The specific structure is:

[0045] Among them, the structure of the guide cage 10: the guide cage 10 is surrounded by three guide rods 101, and the guide rods 101 are fixed on a second frame 102 parallel to the frame 20, and extend to the transition tank unit 30; bowls and cans are accommodated in the internal space surrounded by the guide rods 101. For bowls and cans, which are cylindrical bodies with different end diameters, the three guide rods 101 limit the range of movement of the bowls and cans, and they can only be transported forward along the guide cage 10, thereby realizing more regular stacking and storage of bowls and cans that are not easy to overlap.

[0046] The transition tank unit 30 includes a positioning ring 301 for dropping the tank, the guide cage 10 extends to the outside of the positioning ring 301, and a limiting rod 302 surrounding the positioning ring 301 is vertically arranged at the gap where the guide cage 10 turns;

[0047] When the stepping tank lowering unit 50 is handed over, the tanks are stored for a short time to ensure the continuity of the equipment. No blocking treatment is performed on the subsequent bowls and cans, which can effectively avoid the bowls and cans just out of the oven from being piled up, collided and scratched.

[0048] Furthermore, the top end of the limiting rod 302 is fixed by a cover plate 303, and the bottom end of the limiting rod 302 is vertically fixed on the frame 20 of the discharging unit. The guide rod 101 is bent when extending to the positioning ring 301, and a large gap is generated at the bending part of the guide rod 101. The limiting rod 302 is used to block it, thereby further regulating the bowls and cans.

[0049] The stepping tank lowering unit 50 comprises a lifting slide 501, and the bottom end of the lifting slide 501 is fixed to the output end of the second cylinder 502;

[0050] The mounting plate 503, the air-avoiding transfer cylinder 504 and the stepping lower tank claw 505, the air-avoiding transfer cylinder 504 is mounted on the mounting plate 503, and the mounting plate 503 is slidably connected to the lifting slide 501, the output end of the air-avoiding transfer cylinder 504 is fixedly connected to the stepping lower tank claw 505, and the horizontal line of the stepping lower tank claw 505 is perpendicular to the lifting slide 501.

[0051] That is to say, the vertical height is controlled by the lifting slide 501, and the horizontal movement direction is controlled by the air-avoiding transfer cylinder 504. The bowls and cans transported from the guide cage 10 are supported by the stepping lower tank claws 505, and a set number of bowls and cans are short-term stored between the stepping lower tank claws 505 and the positioning ring 301. After the circulating tank cage 402 of the circulating tank unit 40 is flipped to be on the same vertical line with it, the bowls and cans fall smoothly into the circulating tank cage 402, and then the air-avoiding transfer cylinder 504 retracts the stepping lower tank claws 505. After the transfer is completed, the stepping lower tank claws 505 return to their initial position, so that the falling height of the bowls and cans each time is within a controllable range, ensuring that the stacking of the bowls and cans is regular and does not cause quality problems such as bumps due to excessive drop.

[0052] The overturning circulation tank unit 40 comprises a linkage block 401 and a plurality of circulation tank cages 402. The circulation tank cages 402 are distributed at equal distances with the center of the linkage block 401 as the center of the circular array. One end of the circulation tank cage 402 is fixed to the linkage block 401.

[0053] The linkage shaft 403 and the first motor 404, one end of the linkage shaft 403 is fixed to the center of the linkage block 401, and the other end is fixed to the output end of the first motor 404 assembled on the frame 20, so that the first motor 404 drives the linkage block 401 to rotate and change the position of the circulating tank cage 402.

[0054] That is to say, the first motor 404 controls the linkage block 401 to rotate and change the position of the circulating tank cage 402. When one circulating tank cage 402 is full, another one is used to accommodate bowls and cans. Several circulating tank cages 402 are guaranteed to quickly enter the next cycle, and cooperate with the stepping tank lowering unit 50 to achieve fast and continuous counting and stacking of cans.

[0055] Further, the circulating tank cage 402 includes a T-shaped fixing seat 421, and the fixing seat 421 is fixed on the linkage block 401;

[0056] It also includes three positioning columns 422 , which are vertically fixed on the fixing seat 421 to form a cage shape.

[0057] Furthermore, the positioning column 422 is made of magnetic material. The magnetic material mentioned here includes but is not limited to permanent magnets, as long as it has magnetism and can be processed into a column.

[0058] That is to say, the circulating tank cage 402 is surrounded by three magnetic positioning columns 422 to form a cage. When bowls and cans fall into the circulating tank cage 402, they are adsorbed and are not easy to move. The circulating tank cage 402 does not need a cover and will not move or fall during the rotation process.

[0059] In other embodiments, the top end of the positioning column 422 is cut with an inclined section on the side facing the center of the circulating storage tank cage 402 to ensure smooth material placement and discharge.

[0060] In other embodiments, the linkage block 401 is cross-shaped, and the fixing seat 421 of the circulating tank cage 402 is fixed to the cross-shaped end of the linkage block 401 to control the first motor 404 to drive the circulating tank cage 402 to achieve 90° rotation and replacement.

[0061] The discharging unit comprises a frame 20; a steel rail 70 fixed on the frame 20, which is used to receive the bowls and cans from the overturning circulation tank unit 40; and an electromagnet is installed at the bottom of the steel rail 70. When the circulation tank cage 402 rotates to the steel rail 70, the electromagnet is energized, and the steel rail 70 absorbs the bowls and cans from the side, and the first can pushing unit 60 moves the bowls and cans to the second can pushing unit 80, and finally pushes them to the manual can collecting platform 90;

[0062] A first tank pushing unit 60 and a second tank pushing unit 80; the first tank pushing unit 60 is located above the second tank pushing unit 80 and is parallel to the Saigang track 70;

[0063] It also includes a manual can collecting platform 90 ; connected to one side of the frame 20 ; the first can pushing unit 60 pushes the bowl cans on the Saigang track 70 to the second can pushing unit 80 , and the second can pushing unit 80 pushes the bowl cans to the manual can collecting platform 90 .

[0064] Furthermore, the first can pushing unit 60 includes a can pushing claw 601 for transferring cans; a third cylinder 602 for pushing the front and rear can pushing claws 601 to move, the third cylinder 602 is slidably connected to the output end of the fourth cylinder 603, and the fourth cylinder 603 controls the horizontal movement of the third cylinder 602, and the third cylinder 602 is fixed to the frame 20 through a bracket 604, so that the can pushing claw 601 of the first can pushing unit 60 cans accurately move the cans to the second can pushing unit 80 located below it.

[0065] Further, the second tank pushing unit 80 comprises a fifth cylinder 801, a second tank supporting claw 803 slidably connected to the fifth cylinder 801 through a fixing seat 802, and the fifth cylinder 801 is fixed to the bottom of the bracket 604;

[0066] As mentioned above, the second cylinder 502, the fourth cylinder 603, and the fifth cylinder 801 are all rodless cylinders.

[0067] That is to say, the bowl cans falling on the fifth cylinder 801 are stably transported to the manual can collecting platform for bagging and packaging through the combined action of the second can supporting claw 803 and the electromagnet under the Saigang track 70.

[0068] In other embodiments, the second can supporting claw 803 includes a claw base 831 fixed on the fixing base 802, and the cover pushing claw 833 connected to the claw base 831 is rotatable by a claw shaft 832; a weight screw 834 is assembled at the tail end of the cover pushing claw 833;

[0069] Furthermore, a barb is provided on the cover pushing claw 833, so that the cover pushing claw 833 has unidirectionality and can be used as a can supporting mechanism, and cooperates with the magnetic suction device under the Saigang track to ensure the stability of the can pushing process.

[0070] The bowls and cans described above are all made of metal materials.

[0071] In summary, the present invention has the functions of smooth and automatic can collection and quantitative can collection for items that are difficult to stack, such as metal bowls and cans. It has a high speed and occupies a small space. The transition of items is smooth and there will be no can squeezing. It reduces bumps and improves product quality, improves product quality and production efficiency, and reduces costs.
