[0002] With the development of automation technology, the technology is becoming more and more mature, and there are more and more automated production lines. In automated production lines, material transfer is a very common demand, which is generally achieved through conveying machinery such as conveyor belts, pneumatic conveying, and rail conveying.

[0003] For materials such as powders and medicines, which have requirements such as cleanliness and sealing during the production process, they are usually placed in barrels, boxes and other tooling and then placed on conveyor lines for transportation. However, when the materials are transported to the designated location, how to facilitate the discharge of the materials becomes an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to facilitate the unloading of materials with sealing requirements after being transported to a designated location, the present application provides a compressed air movable docking device for an intelligent assembly production line.

The transfer barrel is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate, and a sealing cover is provided on the top of the transfer barrel. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the transfer barrel, and the discharge port passes through the transfer barrel bottom plate and is provided with a discharge valve; A material unloading mechanism is fixedly arranged on the frame of the roller conveyor line, and the position where the material unloading mechanism is located is the material unloading station, and the transfer barrel moves to the material unloading station for unloading; The unloading mechanism comprises an unloading pipe and a lifting member, the lifting member is fixedly mounted on the frame of the roller conveyor line, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the lifting member, the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint are fixedly arranged on the mounting plate, and the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint can be raised to abut against the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the transfer barrel; The bottom plate of the transfer barrel can be transported to the discharge pipe located directly below the discharge port at the bottom end of the transfer barrel; an air hole is opened on the bottom plate of the transfer barrel, and the top end of the air hole is connected to the interior of the transfer barrel through a connecting air pipe; the air source outlet of the air source movable joint is arranged at the top end of the air source movable joint, and the bottom end of the air hole can be transported along with the bottom plate of the transfer barrel to a position directly above the air source movable joint.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, when transferring materials such as powders and medicines, the materials are placed in the transfer barrel, and the transfer barrel on the bottom plate of the transfer barrel is transported to the unloading station along the roller conveyor line. At this time, the lifting part drives the mounting plate to rise, thereby driving the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint to rise synchronously, ensuring the synchronization of the actions of the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint, until the top of the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint are driven to be tightly pressed against the mounting plate. At this time, the unloading pipe is connected to the discharge port at the bottom of the transfer barrel, and the air source outlet of the air source movable joint is connected to the air hole, and then the discharge valve at the discharge port of the transfer barrel is opened, and the air source movable joint is connected to compressed air, and air is supplied to the inside of the transfer barrel through the air hole and the connecting air pipe to facilitate discharge.

[0007] Optionally, a first sealing ring made of a flexible material is fixedly provided at the top end of the discharge pipe.

[0008] Optionally, a second sealing ring made of a flexible material is provided at the top end of the air source movable joint, and the flexible material of the second sealing ring is a highly elastic polyurethane material.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the air source movable joint and the top of the discharge pipe are both made of flexible sealing materials, which helps to maintain the balance of the two supporting points of the source movable joint and the discharge pipe on the bottom plate of the transfer barrel. The second sealing ring of the air source movable joint is made of highly elastic polyurethane material to ensure sealing and avoid damage to the equipment.

[0010] Optionally, the air source movable joint includes a base, a lower cylinder, an upper cylinder, an intermediate rod body and a spring, the base is fixedly arranged on the mounting plate, the lower cylinder is fixedly connected to the base, the top end of the intermediate rod body is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder, the bottom end of the intermediate rod body is inserted in the lower cylinder, the spring is sleeved on the intermediate rod body, the top end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper cylinder, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lower cylinder; the air source inlet of the air source movable joint is arranged on the side wall of the upper cylinder, the air source inlet is connected to the air source outlet through a channel inside the upper cylinder, and the aperture of the air source outlet is larger than the aperture of the air hole.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be set according to the actual situation that when the spring is in a natural state, the top of the air source movable joint is higher than the top of the discharge pipe. When the top of the air source movable joint contacts the bottom surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate, it continues to move upward. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the middle rod body and the lower cylinder body slide relative to each other until the top of the discharge pipe is tightly pressed against the bottom surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate. By adopting this spring structure, the compression force of the spring can be used as an auxiliary preload force. When the air source pressure is large, it can prevent the air source movable joint from being misaligned or detached from the air hole, thereby increasing the sealing and air supply reliability of the air source movable joint and the transfer barrel bottom plate. If the aperture of the air source outlet is larger than the aperture of the air hole, the problem of stopping error of different transfer barrel bottom plates on the roller conveyor line will be better solved. The larger aperture of the air source outlet helps to reliably connect with the air hole.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom end of the transfer barrel is configured in a tapered cone, and the discharge port of the transfer barrel is located at the smallest end of the transfer barrel.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to unload materials in a centralized manner.

[0014] Optionally, the connecting air pipe is connected to the side wall of the transfer barrel at a conical location.

[0015] Optionally, a vibrator is provided on the transfer barrel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the material has very high sealing requirements during the transfer process. The material fluidity is poor, and there is a risk of bridging in the transfer barrel. After arriving at the designated unloading station, the material is not easy to discharge by its own gravity. Therefore, a vibrator is installed on the transfer barrel to assist in unloading. A pneumatic vibrator can be selected according to actual conditions. It needs to be connected at the unloading station and disconnected during transportation.

[0017] Optionally, the lifting member is a lifting cylinder.

[0018] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When transferring materials such as powders and medicines, put the materials into the transfer barrel. The transfer barrel on the bottom plate of the transfer barrel is transported to the unloading station along the roller conveyor line. At this time, the lifting part drives the mounting plate to rise, thereby driving the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint to rise synchronously, ensuring the synchronization of the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint, until the top of the unloading pipe and the air source movable joint are driven to be tightly pressed against the mounting plate. At this time, the unloading pipe is connected to the discharge port at the bottom of the transfer barrel, and the air source outlet of the air source movable joint is connected to the air hole, and then the discharge valve at the discharge port of the transfer barrel is opened, and the air source movable joint is connected to the external air source, and air is supplied to the inside of the transfer barrel through the air hole and the connecting air pipe, which is convenient for unloading; 2.

The material has very high sealing requirements during the transfer process. The material fluidity is poor, and there is a risk of bridging in the transfer barrel. After arriving at the designated unloading station, the material is not easy to discharge by its own gravity. Therefore, a vibrator is installed on the transfer barrel to assist in unloading.

[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0023] The present application discloses a compressed air movable docking device for an intelligent assembly production line. Figure 1The compressed air movable docking device for the intelligent assembly production line includes a roller conveyor line 1, a transfer barrel 2 and an air source movable joint 4. The roller conveyor line 1 adopts the existing intelligent assembly-type accumulation function conveyor line to ensure that the entire conveying rhythm is not affected. A transfer barrel bottom plate 5 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt of the roller conveyor line 1, and the transfer barrel bottom plate 5 is transported with the movement of the roller conveyor line 1. The transfer barrel 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate 5. A sealing cover 21 is provided at the top of the transfer barrel 2, and a discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom end of the transfer barrel 2. The discharge port 3 passes through the transfer barrel bottom plate 5 and is provided with a discharge valve. The discharge valve can be set according to the actual situation, and can be set inside or outside the discharge port 3. It will not be repeated in the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] A material unloading mechanism 6 is fixedly arranged on the frame of the roller conveyor line 1, and the position of the material unloading mechanism 6 is the material unloading station, and the transfer barrel 2 moves to the material unloading station for unloading.

The material unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4 are fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 7, and the material unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4 can rise to abut against the bottom surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate 5.

[0025] The bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel can be transported to the discharge pipe 61 located directly below the discharge port 3 at the bottom end of the transfer barrel 2; an air hole 51 is opened on the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel, and the top of the air hole 51 is connected to the interior of the transfer barrel 2 through a connecting air pipe 52; the air source outlet 47 of the air source movable joint 4 is arranged at the top of the air source movable joint 4, and the bottom end of the air hole 51 can be transported along with the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel to a position directly above the air source movable joint 4.

[0026] When transporting materials such as powders and medicines, the materials are placed in the transfer barrel 2, and the transfer barrel 2 on the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel is transported to the unloading station along the roller conveyor line 1. At this time, the lifting cylinder 62 drives the mounting plate 7 to rise, thereby driving the unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4 to rise synchronously, ensuring the synchronization of the actions of the unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4, until the top of the unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4 are driven to be tightly pressed against the mounting plate 7. At this time, the unloading pipe 61 is connected to the discharge port 3 at the bottom of the transfer barrel 2, and the air source outlet 47 of the air source movable joint 4 is connected to the air hole 51, and then the discharge valve at the discharge port 3 of the transfer barrel 2 is opened, and the air source movable joint 4 is connected to the compressed air, and the air is supplied to the inside of the transfer barrel 2 through the air hole 51 and the connecting air pipe 52, so as to facilitate unloading.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-2, a first sealing ring 611 made of a flexible material is fixedly provided at the top of the discharge pipe 61. A second sealing ring 41 made of a flexible material is provided at the top of the air source movable joint 4, and the flexible material of the second sealing ring 41 is a highly elastic polyurethane material. The air source movable joint 4 and the top of the discharge pipe 61 are both made of flexible sealing materials, which helps to maintain the balance of the two supporting points of the source movable joint and the discharge pipe 61 on the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel. The second sealing ring 41 of the air source movable joint 4 is made of a highly elastic polyurethane material to ensure sealing and avoid damage to the equipment.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-2 The air source movable joint 4 includes a base 42, a lower cylinder 43, an upper cylinder 44, an intermediate rod 45 and a spring 46. The base 42 is fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 7, the lower cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to the base 42, the top end of the intermediate rod 45 is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder 44, the bottom end of the intermediate rod 45 is inserted into the lower cylinder 43, the spring 46 is sleeved on the intermediate rod 45, the top end of the spring 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper cylinder 44, and the bottom end of the spring 46 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lower cylinder 43; the air source inlet 48 of the air source movable joint 4 is arranged on the side wall of the upper cylinder 44, the air source inlet 48 is connected to the air source outlet 47 through the channel inside the upper cylinder 44, and the aperture of the air source outlet 47 is larger than the aperture of the air hole 51.

[0029] It can be set according to the actual situation. When the spring 46 is in the natural state, the top of the air source movable joint 4 is higher than the top of the feed pipe 61. When the top of the air source movable joint 4 contacts the bottom surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate 5, it continues to move upward. At this time, the spring 46 is compressed, and the intermediate rod body 45 slides relative to the lower cylinder body 43 until the top of the feed pipe 61 is pressed against the bottom surface of the transfer barrel bottom plate 5. By adopting this spring 46 structure, the compression force of the spring 46 can be used as an auxiliary preload force. When the air source pressure is large, it can prevent the air source movable joint 4 from being misaligned or disengaged from the air hole 51, thereby increasing the sealing and air supply reliability of the air source movable joint 4 and the transfer barrel bottom plate 5. The aperture of the air source outlet 47 is larger than the aperture of the air hole 51, which better solves the problem of stop error of different transfer barrel bottom plates 5 on the roller conveyor line 1. The larger aperture of the air source outlet 47 helps to reliably dock with the air hole 51.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-2, the bottom end of the transfer barrel 2 is set in a tapered cone, and the discharge port 3 of the transfer barrel 2 is located at the smallest end of the transfer barrel 2, which is convenient for centralized unloading. The connecting air pipe 52 is connected to the side wall of the conical setting part of the transfer barrel 2. A vibrator 8 is arranged on the side wall of the conical setting part of the transfer barrel 2. The material has very high sealing requirements during the transportation process, and its material fluidity is poor. There is a risk of bridging in the transfer barrel 2. After arriving at the designated unloading station, the material is not easy to discharge by its own gravity. Therefore, a vibrator 8 is installed on the transfer barrel 2 to assist in unloading. The pneumatic vibrator 8 can be selected according to the actual situation. It needs to be connected at the unloading station and disconnected during the transportation process.

[0031] The implementation principle of a compressed air movable docking device for an intelligent assembly production line in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when transporting materials such as powders and medicines, the materials are placed in the transfer barrel 2, and the transfer barrel 2 on the transfer barrel bottom plate 5 is transported to the unloading station along the roller conveyor line 1 for unloading. At this time, the lifting cylinder 62 drives the mounting plate 7 to rise, thereby driving the unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4 to rise synchronously, ensuring the synchronization of the actions of the unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4, until the top of the unloading pipe 61 and the air source movable joint 4 are driven to be tightly pressed against the mounting plate 7. At this time, the unloading pipe 61 is docked with the discharge port 3 at the bottom of the transfer barrel 2, and the air source outlet 47 of the air source movable joint 4 is docked with the air hole 51, and then the unloading valve at the discharge port 3 of the transfer barrel 2 is opened, and the air source movable joint 4 is connected to the external air source, and air is supplied to the inside of the transfer barrel 2 through the air hole 51 and the connecting air pipe 52, and the vibrator 8 is turned on at the same time to realize unloading.
