DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0102] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0103] See also Figures 1 to 32As shown, the present invention provides a filling line, which includes a detection component 1, a conveying component 2, a host computer 5 and a positioning component 7. The detection component 1 is communicatively connected to the host computer 5, and the detection component 1 can identify the specifications of the container entering the conveying component 2, the conveying component 2 is communicatively connected to the host computer 5, and the positioning component 7 is communicatively connected to the host computer 5. The positioning component 7 can adjust the clamping position of the container according to the container specifications, and the host computer 5 can automatically identify the container specifications according to the detection signal of the detection component 1 and control the positioning component 7 to adjust the position of the container so that containers of different specifications accurately enter the clamping position.

[0104] In the above technical scheme, the detection component 1 is used to identify the specifications of the container entering the production line, such as the size and shape of the container. The conveying component 2 is responsible for stably conveying the container from the entrance of the production line to the filling position for filling, and then transporting the filled container to the unloading position. By connecting the conveying component 2 to the host computer 5 for communication, the effect of adjusting the working state of the conveying component 2 in real time is achieved, thereby controlling the container conveying rhythm and the container conveying position. The positioning component 7 is used to adjust the position of the container to ensure that the container can accurately enter the clamping position, reducing the position correction of the conveying component 2 when the container enters the filling position, thereby improving the filling efficiency. The host computer 5 is the control center of the entire filling line, responsible for receiving the signal detected by the detection component 1 and identifying the container specifications according to the signal, and then controlling the positioning component 7 and other components according to the identified container specifications, so that the positioning component 7 automatically adjusts its position according to the different container specifications, ensuring that containers of different specifications can accurately enter the clamping position, thereby improving the clamping accuracy of containers of different specifications, and enabling the conveying component 2 to accurately clamp containers of different specifications from the clamping position. The filling line provided by the present invention is provided with a positioning component 7 and a host computer 5, so that the filling line can automatically identify the specifications of the container and automatically adjust the positions of containers of different specifications, ensuring that containers of different specifications can accurately enter the clamping position, avoiding the need to stop the filling line and manually adjust the filling line after replacing the new specification container, thereby improving the adaptability of the filling line to containers of different specifications.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, the filling line further comprises a filling machine 4, which can fill materials into the container, and the filling machine 4 is communicatively connected with the host computer.

[0106] In the above technical solution, the filling machine 4 is used to accurately fill the material into the container. The filling machine 4 can produce different kinds of raw materials. The filling machine 4 can fill one raw material into a container, or can fill multiple raw materials into a container, thereby realizing the mixing function. The filling machine 4 can also have the function of transporting containers. After the container at the filling position is filled, the filling machine 4 transports the container to the next working position. The filling machine 4 communicates with the host computer and receives the filling parameters sent by the host computer according to the identification result of the detection component 1, such as filling volume, filling speed, etc. The filling machine 4 can automatically adjust the filling formula and filling volume according to the received signal, thereby realizing the accurate filling of containers of different specifications.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping position is a position where the container can be accurately clamped by the clamping claw portion 35, and the clamping position includes a centering position and a stop position. The centering position is the middle position of the conveying portion 211 in the width direction, and the stop position is the position when the container touches the detection area of ​​the fourth sensor 14. After the container touches the detection area of ​​the fourth sensor 14, a signal is sent to the upper computer 5, and the upper computer 5 immediately controls the conveying portion 211 to stop moving, thereby driving the container to stop.

[0108] In the above technical solution, the container can reach the centering position under the centering action of the centering part 71, that is, the centering part pushes the container to maintain the middle position in the width direction of the conveying part 211, ensuring that the container is aligned with the clamping position in the width direction of the conveying part 211, and at the same time, through the cooperation of the fourth sensor 14 and the upper computer 5, the container can be accurately stopped at the stop position, ensuring that the container is aligned with the clamping position in the moving direction, thereby ensuring that containers of different specifications can be accurately clamped by the clamping claw part 35, thereby improving the adaptability of the filling line to containers of different specifications.

[0109] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host computer 5 can automatically identify the container specifications according to the detection signal of the detection component 1 and control the filling machine 4 to automatically fill materials with corresponding formulas for different specifications.

[0110] In the above technical solution, the host computer 5 can automatically identify the container specifications according to the detection signal of the detection component 1, and automatically fill the containers of different specifications with materials of corresponding formulas, avoiding the need to stop the filling line and manually adjust the filling line after replacing new containers or matching new formulas, thereby improving the adaptability of the filling line to containers of different specifications and achieving the effect of automatically matching and filling corresponding formula materials for containers of different specifications on one filling line.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection component 1 includes a first sensor, which is disposed on the conveying component 2 and is communicatively connected to the host computer 5 . The first sensor can identify the specifications of the container entering the conveying component 2 .

[0112] In the above technical solution, the first sensor is arranged on the conveying component 2. When the container enters the conveying component 2 from the loading end of the conveying component 2, the first sensor can sense the container and transmit the sensing signal to the upper computer 5. The upper computer 5 judges the specifications of the container according to the signal uploaded by the first sensor, thereby identifying the specifications of the container entering the conveying component 2.

[0113] In one embodiment of the present invention, the filling line also includes a material sorting component 6, which includes a material tray 60 and a support seat 66. The material tray 60 is rotatably set on the support seat 66, and a fence 61 is set on the outer peripheral side of the material tray 60. A discharge port 62 is set on the fence 61, and a paddle 63 is set at the discharge port 62. The first end of the paddle 63 is rotatably set on the fence 61, and the second end of the paddle 63 extends in the direction of the incoming material. The first sensor can detect the swing of the paddle 63.

[0114] In the above technical solution, the material sorting assembly 6 is used to sort the containers to be filled so that the containers enter the conveying device in an orderly manner. The material tray 60 is used to carry the containers to be filled, and the material tray 60 is rotatably set on the support seat 66, thereby driving the containers on the material tray 60 to rotate together. The support seat 66 is used to fix and support the material tray 60 to ensure the stability and safety of the material tray 60 during the rotation process. The enclosure 61 is set on the outer peripheral side of the material tray 60, and its function is to limit the movement range of the container to prevent the container from being offset or falling during the rotation process. The discharge port 62 provides a channel for the container to enter the conveying assembly from the material tray. The paddle 63 is set at the discharge port 62, and the first end of the paddle 63 is rotatably set on the enclosure 61, and the second end extends toward the incoming material direction. When the container enters the conveying assembly through the discharge port 62, the container can push the paddle 63 to move. The function of the paddle 63 is to transmit the movement to the first sensor, so that the first sensor can detect the passage of the container and judge the specifications of the container passing through the discharge port 62 based on whether the paddle 63 swings or the amplitude of the swing, thereby achieving the effect of automatically detecting the container specifications.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present invention which is not shown in the drawings, the second end of the paddle 63 is bent in a direction away from the baffle.

[0116] In the above technical solution, the second end of the paddle 63 is bent in a direction away from the baffle, so that the surface where the paddle 63 contacts the container is a curved surface, ensuring that containers of different specifications can be smoothly pushed into the discharge channel between the paddle 63 and the enclosure 61 under the guidance of the curved surface, thereby avoiding the situation where the paddle 63 blocks the container and prevents the container from being transported normally.

[0117] In an embodiment of the present invention not shown in the figures, a reset structure is provided on the paddle 63, and the reset structure can return the paddle 63 that is deviated by the push of the container to a preset position.

[0118] In the above technical solution, the function of the reset structure is to automatically or controlled move the paddle 63 back to its preset position after the container passes, so that the paddle 63 can be ready to transmit the movement of the next container to the first sensor. The reset structure can be a mechanical device driven by a spring, a cylinder or a motor. By setting the reset structure, the production line can avoid missed inspection or detection errors of container specifications caused by the position deviation of the paddle 63, thereby maintaining the continuity of the production process and the accuracy of filling.

[0119] In one embodiment of the present invention, a transmission part 64 is also provided on the material tray 60, and a rotating shaft 65 is provided on the transmission part 64.

The seventh sensor 17 can sense in real time whether there is a container at the discharge position. When the seventh sensor 17 detects a container, the seventh sensor 17 feeds back a signal to the host computer 5, and the host computer 5 controls the second conveying device 23 to start, thereby transferring the container at the discharge position to the aggregate assembly or other processing links.

[0177] In one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding part 102 includes a pushing part 105 and a sixth driving member 106. The pushing part 105 is arranged on the second mounting seat 231. The sixth driving member 106 is drivingly connected to the pushing part 105. The sixth driving member 106 can drive the pushing part 105 to push the material into the collecting tray 101. The sixth driving member 106 is communicatively connected to the upper computer 5.

[0178] In the above technical solution, the pushing part 105 is used to push the material to move. The pushing part 105 usually includes a push plate or a push rod, so that the material can be pushed from the second conveying part 232 into the collecting tray 101. The sixth driving member 106 usually adopts a driving device such as a servo motor, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The sixth driving member 106 provides the necessary power for the pushing and resetting of the pushing part 105, so that it can perform precise pushing actions as needed and return to the initial position after the pushing is completed, waiting for the next pushing. The second mounting seat 231 provides a stable mounting platform for the pushing part 105 and the sixth driving member 106, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pushing part 105 and the sixth driving member 106 during operation. The sixth driving member 106 is connected to the upper computer 5 in communication, so that the upper computer 5 can control and adjust the parameters such as the start and stop, the pushing distance and the pushing speed of the pushing part 105 by sending control instructions to the sixth driving member 106, so as to ensure that the containers that have completed filling can smoothly and accurately enter the collecting tray 101 for collection and storage.

[0179] In one embodiment of the present invention, a baffle 107 is provided at one end of the pushing portion 105 away from the discharge position, and the baffle 107 extends in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction. A feed port is provided at the collecting tray 101 toward the pushing portion 105, and the baffle 107 is aligned with the first extreme position 103 of the feed port away from the discharge position.

[0180] In the above technical solution, the baffle 107 is used to stop the containers that have been filled, so that the containers that have been filled are arranged in order on the second conveying part 232 in front of the pushing part 105. The baffle 107 is aligned with the first limit position 103 of the feed inlet away from the discharge position, ensuring that the containers that have been filled are within the range of the feed inlet, and preventing the pushing part 105 from pushing the containers into the collecting tray 101. The container exceeds the feed inlet of the collecting tray 101, resulting in the container being unable to smoothly enter the collecting tray 101.

[0181] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection component 1 also includes an eighth sensor 18, which is arranged on the second mounting seat 231 and aligned with the second extreme position 104 of the feed port close to the discharge position, and the eighth sensor 18 can detect whether there is a container at the second extreme position 104.

[0182] In the above technical solution, the eighth sensor 18 can monitor in real time whether there is a container at the second extreme position 104. When the eighth sensor 18 detects a container, it indicates that enough containers have been arranged within the pushing range of the pushing part 105. At this time, the eighth sensor 18 sends a signal to the upper computer 5, and the upper computer 5 controls the sixth driving member 106 to start, thereby driving the pushing part 105 to push the material within the pushing range into the collecting tray 101.

[0183] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection component 1 also includes a ninth sensor 19, which is arranged on the collecting tray 101 and faces the end of the collecting tray 101 away from the pushing portion 105. The ninth sensor 19 can detect whether there is a container at the end of the collecting tray 101 away from the pushing portion 105.

[0184] In the above scheme, the pushing part 105 pushes the arranged containers into the collecting tray 101 one by one, and the container pushed in at the last time will continue to push the container pushed in at the previous time to move toward the end of the collecting tray 101 away from the pushing part 105. When the ninth sensor 19 detects the container, it indicates that the collecting tray 101 is full of containers. At this time, the ninth sensor 19 sends a signal to the upper computer 5, and the upper computer 5 controls to stop unloading, and replaces the new collecting tray 101 by automatic control or sends a signal to notify the operator to replace the new collecting tray 101 manually.

[0185] See also Figures 1 to 32 As shown, the present invention also provides a filling line control method, including: obtaining container specifications; when the container reaches the positioning area, adjusting the position of the container to a clamping position according to the corresponding container specifications.

[0186] In the above technical scheme, the upper computer 5 first obtains the specifications of the container by automatic detection or manual input by the detection component 1, and then the container is transported by the conveying component 2. When the container is transported to the positioning area where the positioning component is located, the upper computer 5 controls the positioning component according to the corresponding container specifications to adjust the positions of containers of different specifications according to the obtained container specifications, ensuring that containers of different specifications can accurately enter the clamping position. The filling line control method provided by the present invention can adjust the container position according to the container specifications, ensuring that containers of different specifications can accurately enter the clamping position, avoiding stopping the filling line for manual adjustment after replacing a new specification container or matching a new formula, and improving the adaptability and production efficiency of the filling line to containers of multiple specifications.

[0187] In one embodiment of the present invention, before the step of automatically identifying the container specifications, the method further includes: adjusting the paddle to keep the discharge port at a preset opening width; and starting the material tray.

[0188] In the above technical solution, the paddle 63 is adjusted to keep the discharge port 62 at a preset opening width, ensuring that containers of different specifications can pass through the discharge port 62 after pushing the paddle 63, and then the material tray 60 is started to ensure the supply of containers at the beginning of the production line. Through the mutual coordination of the material tray 60 and the sorting plate 68 thereon, the containers on the material tray 60 are sorted and transported, so that the containers pass through the discharge port 62 to the conveying component 2, and push the paddle 63 in the process of passing through the discharge port 62, forming a close connection with subsequent steps such as container identification and filling.

[0189] In one embodiment of the present invention, the filling line also includes a differential separation device such as a differential belt, which uses two belts with different conveying speeds. When the container transitions from the high-speed belt to the low-speed belt, the distance between the containers will automatically increase due to the sudden change in speed, thereby avoiding the problem of inaccurate alignment due to the distance between two adjacent containers being too close.

[0190] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of automatically identifying container specifications includes: inputting preset data of containers of different specifications into the host computer; inputting preset formulas corresponding to containers of different specifications into the host computer; the container passes through the material tray outlet and pushes the paddle, and the first sensor obtains the swing data of the paddle and sends it to the host computer; the host computer associates the swing data with the preset data to identify the container specifications.

[0191] In the above technical solution, the host computer 5 can store the size parameters of the container as preset data, the shape parameters of the container as preset data, or the weight parameters of the container as preset data, and can use one or more types of preset data as a reference for identifying the container specifications. By inputting the container specification data in advance, the host computer 5 can quickly query and match the corresponding container specification data when the container passes through the discharge port, thereby determining the specifications of the container and providing support for subsequent accurate filling and position adjustment. The automated filling line needs to adjust the filling formula according to the container specifications to ensure that each specification of the container can be filled with the corresponding formula and the accurate filling amount. After automatically identifying the container specifications, the host computer 5 can immediately match the formula data corresponding to the container of the specification, and the host computer 5 controls the filling machine 4 to automatically adjust the filling parameters, thereby achieving the effect of filling different specifications of containers with different formulas and different filling amounts. The container passes through the discharge port of the tray 60 and pushes the paddle 63 in the process, so that the first sensor set at the second end of the paddle 63 can detect the swing of the second end of the paddle 63. The swing data can be used as a basis for identifying the container specifications. The first sensor obtains the swing data of the paddle 63 and sends it to the host computer 5, providing the host computer 5 with a data basis for identifying the container specifications. The host computer 5 then associates the swing data with the preset data to identify the container specifications, thereby achieving the effect of automatically identifying the container specifications.

[0192] In one embodiment of the present invention, the container specifications include large containers and small containers, and the step of inputting preset data of containers of different specifications to the host computer includes: inputting a preset angle threshold as preset data to the host computer, and the preset angle threshold is greater than the angle at which the small container pushes the baffle to deflect, and is less than the angle at which the large container pushes the baffle to deflect.

[0193] In the above technical solution, the containers placed in the tray 60 only include two specifications, large containers and small containers. The difference in container specifications will affect the amplitude of the displacement of the push paddle 63, that is, the displacement angles of the small container and the large container are different. By setting a preset angle threshold, the host computer 5 is provided with a basis for judging the container specifications. The preset angle threshold is set to be greater than the displacement angle of the small container pushing the baffle and less than the displacement angle of the large container pushing the baffle. By comparing the actual displacement angle of the paddle 63 with the preset angle threshold, the size of the container can be quickly and accurately identified.

[0194] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first sensor includes an angle sensor, the swing data of the paddle includes angle data of the paddle swing, the container passes through the material tray outlet and pushes the paddle, and the first sensor obtains the swing data of the paddle and sends it to the host computer. The steps include: the first sensor includes an angle sensor, the first sensor obtains the angle data of the paddle swing and sends the angle data to the host computer.

[0195] In the above technical solution, the angle sensor can accurately measure the swing angle of the paddle 63 when it is pushed by the container. When the container passes through the material tray 60 outlet, it pushes the paddle 63. The first sensor detects the swing of the paddle 63 at the second end of the paddle 63 and records the swing angle data, and sends the angle data to the host computer 5, which provides a data basis for the subsequent host computer 5 to automatically determine the specifications of the container passing through the material tray outlet.

[0196] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host computer compares the swing data with the preset data to identify the container specifications, including: the host computer compares the angle data with the preset angle threshold, when the angle data is greater than the preset angle threshold, the container is determined to be a large container; when the angle data is less than the angle threshold, the container is determined to be a small container.

[0197] In the above technical solution, when the large container and the small container pass through the material tray outlet, there is a difference in the pushing amplitude of the paddle 63. The large container has a larger diameter, so the paddle 63 is pushed to rotate a larger angle, while the small container has a smaller diameter, so the paddle 63 is pushed to rotate a smaller angle. The host computer 5 compares the angle data detected by the first sensor with the preset angle threshold. When the angle data is greater than the preset angle threshold, the container is determined to be a large container. When the angle data is less than the angle threshold, the container is determined to be a small container. By setting the preset angle threshold, the host computer 5 can immediately determine the container specifications based on the angle data detected by the first sensor without complex calculations, thereby improving the response speed and decision-making efficiency of the production line.

[0198] In one embodiment of the present invention, the filling line includes at least three containers of different diameters, and the step of inputting preset data of containers of different specifications to the host computer includes: inputting preset container diameters of containers of different specifications to the host computer.

[0199] In the above technical solution, the filling line includes at least three containers of different diameters. The diameter, as a significant difference between containers of different specifications, can be used as a basis for the host computer 5 to determine the container specifications. The preset container diameters of the containers of each specification are input to the host computer 5 to ensure that the host computer 5 can quickly identify the container specifications according to the container diameter data in the subsequent recognition stage.

[0200] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first sensor includes a displacement sensor, the container passes through the material tray outlet and pushes the paddle, and the first sensor obtains the swing data of the paddle and sends it to the host computer. The step includes: the first sensor obtains the displacement data of the paddle swing and sends the displacement data to the host computer.

[0201] In the above technical solution, the displacement sensor obtains in real time the displacement data of the paddle 63 caused by the pushing of the container. The displacement data is closely related to the diameter of the container that pushes the paddle 63. The displacement data generated by containers of different specifications are different. Therefore, the first sensor obtains the displacement data of the swing of the paddle 63 and sends the displacement data to the host computer 5, which provides a data basis for the host computer 5 to automatically identify the container specifications.

[0202] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host computer compares the swing data with the preset data to thereby identify the step of container specifications, including: the host computer calculates the detection diameter y of the container passing through the discharge port based on the displacement data, assuming that the preset opening width of the discharge port is k, and the displacement data is x, then y=x+k; the host computer compares the detection diameter y with the preset container diameter, and finds the corresponding preset container diameter within the preset difference range of the detection diameter y, thereby identifying the specifications corresponding to the container passing through the discharge port.

[0203] In the above technical solution, the paddle 63 is adjusted in the previous step to keep the discharge port 62 at a preset opening width, ensuring that containers of different specifications can pass through the discharge port 62 after pushing the paddle 63. Assuming the preset opening width is k, containers of different diameters need to push the paddle 63 outward to pass through the paddle 63. The outward displacement distance of the paddle 63, i.e., the displacement data x, is the difference between the preset opening width k and the actual diameter of the container. Therefore, the host computer 5 can obtain the detected diameter y of the container passing through the discharge port 62 by adding the preset opening width k and the measured displacement data x. The host computer 5 then compares the detected diameter y with the preset container diameter input into the host computer 5 in advance, and matches the detected diameter y with the preset difference range of the preset container diameter, thereby identifying the specifications corresponding to the container passing through the discharge port 62.

[0204] The above-mentioned preset difference range can be determined in the following manner: calculate the diameter difference d between containers of various specifications and determine the minimum value dmin therein, and assume that the preset difference range is c, then c = ±dmin / 2. When comparing and identifying the detection diameter y, when the detection diameter y falls within the preset container diameter ±dmin / 2 of a certain specification container, it can be determined that the container currently passing through the discharge port 62 is a container of this specification. If the detection diameter y does not fall within the range of any specification container, it may be due to a large measurement error caused by a failure of the detection component or an offset in the position of the paddle. In this case, the host computer will alarm to notify the operator to inspect and adjust the detection component or the paddle, or adjust the preset difference range. This solution can handle multiple containers of different specifications, enhance the adaptability and flexibility of the production line, and meet the needs of multi-container matching and multi-formula filling.

[0205] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of conveying the container to the filling position includes: starting the first conveying part; the upper computer controls the positioning component to adjust the position of the container; the fourth sensor detects whether there is a container at the clamping position, and when the fourth sensor detects the container at the clamping position, it sends a signal to the upper computer; the upper computer controls the first conveying part to stop; the upper computer controls the clamping part to convey the container at the clamping position to the filling position; and returns to the step of starting the first conveying part.

[0206] In the above technical solution, the first conveying part 222 is started, and the container entering the first conveying part 222 from the material tray outlet 62 begins to be conveyed to the filling position. During the conveying process, the position of the container may not be aligned with the clamping position, or the distance between two adjacent containers is too small, which will affect the final filling effect. Therefore, the position of the container is adjusted by the upper computer 5 to control the positioning component 7. The fourth sensor 14 is set at the clamping position to detect whether there is a container at the clamping position. When the fourth sensor 14 detects a container at the clamping position, it indicates that a container has reached the clamping position. Therefore, the fourth sensor 14 sends a signal to the upper computer 5, and the upper computer 5 controls the first conveying part 222 to stop running, ensuring that the container accurately flows at the clamping position to wait for clamping. Then the upper computer 5 controls the clamping part to clamp the container at the clamping position and transfer the container to the filling position, and then returns to the step of starting the first conveying part 222, and repeats the above process to convey the next container to the clamping position. Through the real-time detection of the fourth sensor 14, the precise control of the host computer 5 and the position adjustment of the positioning component 7, it is ensured that the container can be accurately and stably transported to the filling position in a high-speed production environment, thereby improving the filling efficiency and product quality.

[0207] In one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning component includes a stopper and a centering part, the detection component includes a second sensor and a third sensor, and the step of the upper computer controlling the positioning component to adjust the position of the container includes: the upper computer controls the stopper and the centering part to be in an open state; the upper computer starts the corresponding sensor according to the automatic identification of the container specification; when the container specification is identified as a large container, the third sensor is started; the third sensor detects that an object has passed and sends a signal to the upper computer; the upper computer controls the stopper and the centering part to be closed; when the container specification is identified as a small container, the second sensor is started; the second sensor detects that an object has passed and sends a signal to the upper computer; the upper computer controls the stopper and the centering part to be closed.

[0208] In the above technical solution, the stopper 72 and the centering part 71 are in an open state in the initial state, ensuring that the container can pass freely and enter the subsequent conveying process. The second sensor 12 and the third sensor 13 can detect whether there is a container in their respective detection areas, and the host computer 5 can start the corresponding sensor according to the automatically identified container specifications. When the container specification is identified as a large container, the third sensor 13 is started. Since the third sensor 13 is farther away from the centering part 71 than the second sensor 12, it is ensured that when the large container reaches the detection area of ​​the third sensor 13, the large container has completely left the centering area of ​​the centering part 71. When the third sensor 13 detects that an object has passed, it sends a signal to the host computer 5, and the host computer 5 controls the stopper 72 and the centering part 71 to close so that the first container located behind the large container is clamped in the centering part 71 to achieve centering, and at the same time, the second container and subsequent containers located behind the large container are blocked behind the stopper 72, ensuring that only one container can enter the centering part 71 for centering at a time. When the container specification is identified as a small container, the second sensor 12 is started, and then the second sensor 12 detects that an object has passed, and sends a signal to the upper computer 5. The upper computer 5 controls the stopper 72 and the centering part 71 to close. The distance between the second sensor 12 and the centering part 71 is sufficient to accommodate the small container. When the small container enters the detection area of ​​the second sensor 12, the small container has completely left the control area of ​​the centering part 71. At this time, the upper computer 5 receives the signal from the second sensor 12 and centers and stops the container behind the small container.

[0209] In one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning component includes a stopper, and the steps of the upper computer controlling the positioning component to adjust the position of the container include: the upper computer controls the stopper to be in a closed state by default; the upper computer controls the first conveying part to convey the container at a conveying speed v; the upper computer calculates the duration t of the open state of the stopper according to the conveying speed v of the first conveying part and the detection diameter y of the container, and t=y / v; the upper computer controls the stopper to automatically close after switching to the open state for t time.

[0210] In the above technical solution, the stopper is in a closed state by default, and the upper computer controls the first conveying part to convey the container at a conveying speed v. When conveying to the stopper, the stopper stops and limits the container to prevent it from moving forward. Since the detection diameter y of the current container has been calculated through the cooperation between the first sensor and the upper computer, and the conveying speed v is constant, the duration t of the open state of the stopper can be obtained according to the formula t=y / v, that is, after t time, the first conveying part can drive the container to travel a distance of y length, and then the upper computer controls the stopper to switch to an open state and last for t time. After t time, the current container has been conveyed out of the stopper, and at this time, the upper computer controls the stopper to close or the stopper to close automatically, thereby ensuring that only one container is released while the following container is still stopped behind the stopper, achieving the effect of releasing containers one by one.

[0211] In an embodiment not shown in the figures of the present invention, the positioning component includes a centering part, and a tenth sensor is arranged on the edge of the centering part facing the clamping position. The steps of the upper computer controlling the positioning component to adjust the position of the container include: the centering part is in an open state by default; when the tenth sensor detects the container, a signal is sent to the upper computer; and the upper computer controls the centering part to close.

[0212] In the above technical solution, the tenth sensor can detect whether there is a container in the detection area and send a signal to the upper computer, so that the upper computer can determine whether there is a container in the centering part that needs to be centered. When the container is transported to the centering part, and the front end of the container triggers the tenth sensor set on the edge of the centering part facing the clamping position, it indicates that the container has completely entered the centering range of the centering part, so that the upper computer controls the closing of the centering part to realize automatic centering of the container.

[0213] In one embodiment of the present invention, the steps of matching the corresponding formula according to the container specifications and performing filling include: the host computer matches the corresponding formula according to the identified container specifications; the host computer sends the formulas corresponding to multiple containers that are loaded in sequence to the filling machine in sequence; the filling machine adjusts the corresponding formula according to the order of the containers entering the filling position and fills the containers; when the filling machine discharges the material to a preset volume or the container reaches a preset weight, the filling is completed.

[0214] In the above technical solution, containers of different specifications may need to be filled with materials of different formulas. At the same time, due to the different specifications, the filling volume that the container can accommodate is also different. Therefore, the host computer 5 matches the corresponding formula according to the identified container specifications. Since the containers enter the conveying component 2 in sequence, the order of filling the containers is the same as the order of the identified container specifications. The host computer 5 sends the formulas corresponding to the multiple containers loaded in sequence to the filling machine 4 in sequence to ensure that the filling machine 4 can accurately fill the formula into the corresponding specification containers in sequence. The filling machine 4 adjusts the corresponding formula according to the order of the containers entering the filling position and fills the containers. The filling machine 4 can measure the discharge volume. When the discharge of the filling machine 4 reaches the preset volume, the discharge is stopped to complete the filling. It is also possible to determine whether the container is filled in place by measuring the weight of the container. When the container reaches the preset weight, the discharge is stopped to complete the filling.

[0215] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of conveying the container to the unloading position includes: the upper computer controls the clamping jaws to clamp the filled container at the filling position; the upper computer controls the clamping jaws to convey the filled container from the filling position to the unloading position; the seventh sensor detects the presence of the container at the unloading position and sends a signal to the upper computer; the upper computer controls the second conveying device to start; the second conveying device conveys the filled container to the unloading position to complete the unloading.

[0216] In the above technical solution, the upper computer 5 controls the clamping jaws to clamp the filled container at the filling position and transfer the filled container from the filling position to the discharge position. The seventh sensor 17 located at the discharge position can detect whether there is a container at the discharge position. When the seventh sensor 17 detects that there is a container at the discharge position, it means that the clamping jaws have accurately placed the container on the second conveying device 23. Then the seventh sensor 17 sends a signal to the upper computer 5, and the upper computer 5 controls the second conveying device 23 to start, thereby transferring the filled container to the discharge position to complete the discharge. Through the setting of these steps, the filling production line can realize the automatic processing of containers from filling to discharge, which not only improves production efficiency and product quality, but also reduces production costs and enhances the stability and automation level of the production line.

[0217] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiment of the present invention achieves the following technical effects: the detection component 1 is used to identify the specifications of the container entering the production line, such as the size and shape of the container. The conveying component 2 is responsible for stably conveying the container from the entrance of the production line to the filling position for filling, and then transporting the filled container to the unloading position. By connecting the conveying component 2 to the host computer 5 for communication, the effect of adjusting the working state of the conveying component 2 in real time is achieved, thereby controlling the container conveying rhythm and the container conveying position. The positioning component 7 is used to adjust the position of the container to ensure that the container can accurately enter the clamping position, reducing the position correction of the conveying component 2 when the container enters the filling position, thereby improving the filling efficiency. The host computer 5 is the control center of the entire filling line, responsible for receiving the signal detected by the detection component 1 and identifying the container specifications according to the signal, and then controlling the positioning component 7 and other components according to the identified container specifications, so that the positioning component 7 automatically adjusts its position according to the different container specifications, ensuring that containers of different specifications can accurately enter the clamping position, thereby improving the clamping accuracy of containers of different specifications, and enabling the conveying component 2 to accurately clamp containers of different specifications from the clamping position. The filling line provided by the present invention is provided with a positioning component 7 and a host computer 5, so that the filling line can automatically identify the specifications of the container and automatically adjust the positions of containers of different specifications, ensuring that containers of different specifications can accurately enter the clamping position, avoiding the need to stop the filling line and manually adjust the filling line after replacing the new specification container, thereby improving the adaptability of the filling line to containers of different specifications.
