Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of proportioning equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic batching equipment and a batching method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Some existing daily chemical fragrances, food fragrances, tobacco fragrances, essential oils, etc. usually need to be prepared by mixing more than a dozen or even dozens of raw materials in specific proportions. Among them, the raw materials include fine chemical raw materials and liquid raw materials purified from natural plants, and the raw materials can be divided into: alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, etc. Among them, alcohols include ethanol, linalool, nerol, etc.; esters include ethyl acetate, terpinyl acetate, cyclopentadecenolide, etc.; ethers include p-cresyl methyl ether, rose ether, diphenyl ether, etc.; ketones include vanillin, beta-ionone, ambrein, etc.; aldehydes include coconut aldehyde, peach aldehyde, green aldehyde, etc.; oils include sweet orange oil, Argentine lemon oil, lavender oil, etc.

[0003] In the traditional manual batching method, it is necessary to first manually weigh the weights of various raw materials by operators, and then pour all the weighed raw materials into a material bucket for mixing to obtain the required reagent.

[0004] However, the traditional manual batching method has the following problems: 1. Manual batching usually takes a long time and is cumbersome. Especially when there are many types of raw materials, each raw material needs to be weighed and added separately, which greatly reduces the batching efficiency. 2. When operators perform manual batching, when there are many types of raw materials required, it is possible to miss one or two raw materials, resulting in relatively serious product quality problems.

[0014] Preferably, the blocking and releasing device includes a driving device and a blocking rod connected to the driving device, and the blocking rod is driven to rotate by the driving device.

[0015] An automatic batching method comprises the following specific steps: Step 1: The batching container on the feeding conveyor line is transferred to the first trolley at the receiving end, the code scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container, the control system reads the batching information, determines the total batching times and the batching device that the batching container needs to pass through in each batching, and the batching device is the target batching device; Step 2: Determine the number of times the current batching corresponds to, and determine whether the current batching is the last batching; The method for judging whether the current batching is the last batching is as follows: if the number of times corresponding to the current batching is less than the total number of times of batching, the current batching is not the last batching; if the number of times corresponding to the current batching is equal to the total number of times of batching, the current batching is the last batching; Step 3: The first trolley transports the batching container to the target batching device corresponding to the current batching, and the batching container is transferred from the first trolley to the batching conveyor line corresponding to the target batching device. The batching container moves to the batching position on the batching conveyor line and stops. At this time, the contact part on the weighing device moves upward to support the bottom of the batching container and lift the batching container upward. The required types of raw materials are injected into the batching container in sequence through the target batching device, and the weight of the raw materials injected each time is detected by the weighing sensor; after the raw material injection is completed, the batching container continues to move forward, and the second trolley moves to the position corresponding to the batching container, and the batching container is transferred to the second trolley; the second trolley moves to the turn-out end on the output side track; Step 4: If the current batching is the last batching, the second trolley transfers the batching container to the unloading conveyor line; if the current batching is not the last batching, the second trolley transfers the batching container to the transition conveyor line, and the batching container is transferred to the first trolley at the receiving position through the transition conveyor line. The scanning device scans the barcode on the batching container, and repeats steps 2 to 4.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention can automatically complete the reagent batching work, without manual participation throughout the process, saving time and effort, and greatly improving the batching efficiency.

[0017] 2. The present invention does not require manual batching, avoiding the omission of raw materials during the manual batching process.

[0018] 3. There are 80 - 100 liquid injection devices provided on one batching device of the present invention. That is to say, one batching device can dispense 80 - 100 raw materials. The whole set of equipment contains four batching devices in total, and the whole set of equipment can dispense up to 320 - 400 raw materials, thus effectively meeting the dispensing requirements of some complex reagents.

[0019] 4. The present invention adopts a disc-shaped batching device. The liquid injection components on the batching device are arranged in a circular array, which can accommodate a relatively large number of liquid injection components at the same time, and the overall structure is relatively compact; when the liquid injection component is in the initial position, the armature at one end of the liquid injection component is attracted by a magnet, and the liquid injection component can be accurately positioned at the initial position by the suction force of the magnet; without the suction force of the magnet, during the use of the equipment, one or several of the liquid injection components may move under the action of external forces, resulting in misalignment of some of the liquid injection components. The misalignment of the liquid injection components will cause the push-pull grooves on the liquid injection components to not form a continuous annular channel, which will hinder the movement of the roller in the annular channel; while in the present invention, the above problems are effectively solved by setting a magnet.

[0020] 5. The present invention uses a rotary push-pull device to radially push and pull the liquid injection component to make the liquid injection component reach above the batching container for liquid injection operation. In this way, during the batching process, the batching container does not need to move. The liquid injection is realized by fixing the batching container and moving the liquid injection component, which can reduce the positioning error that may be caused by moving the batching container, thereby improving the accuracy of the liquid injection position; and this way avoids the liquid splashing or instability that may be caused by moving the batching container, especially when dealing with high-precision, easily splashing or materials with high stability requirements; this way of the present invention does not require a complex conveying system to accurately control the position of the batching container, reduces the equipment complexity and maintenance cost, and also reduces the failure rate.

[0021] 6. In the present invention, through automated devices such as the first trolley, the second trolley, the batching conveyor line, etc., the automation of the batching process is achieved, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. A code scanning device is used to scan the identification code on the batching container to ensure the accurate reading of each batching information. At the same time, a weighing sensor is used to detect the weight of the raw materials injected each time, ensuring the accuracy of batching. Moreover, the systematic operation process and control logic (such as judging whether it is the last batching) help to reduce human errors and ensure that each step is executed according to the preset parameters.

[0022] 7. The batching method of the present invention allows adjusting the batching times and types according to different formula requirements to adapt to the changing production needs. In addition, by adjusting the batching device or adding a new batching conveyor line, etc., the production capacity can be easily expanded. And since each batching container is tracked by an identification code, the data of the entire batching process can be recorded, which is beneficial for subsequent quality tracking and production management.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, an automatic batching device includes a control system, a loading conveyor line 1, an unloading conveyor line 2, an inlet side track 3, an outlet side track 4, a transition conveyor line 7. Between the inlet side track 3 and the outlet side track 4, a plurality of batching devices 9 and batching conveyor lines are provided, and the batching conveyor lines correspond to the batching devices 9 one by one; A first trolley 5 is provided on the entry side track 3, and a second trolley 6 is provided on the exit side track 4. One end of the entry side track is a receiving end, and the other end of the exit side track 4 is a transfer end. One end of the loading conveyor line 1 and one end of the transition conveyor line 7 correspond to the receiving end of the entry side track 3, and one end of the unloading conveyor line 2 and the other end of the transition conveyor line 7 correspond to the transfer end of the exit side track 4. The first trolley 5 is used to receive the batching container 11 transferred from the loading conveyor line 1 or the transition conveyor line 7 and transfer the batching container 11 to the batching conveyor line; the second trolley 6 is used to receive the batching container 11 transferred from the batching conveyor line and transfer the batching container 11 to the unloading conveyor line 2 or the transition conveyor line 7; the batching device 9 is used to inject raw materials into the batching container 11 on the batching conveyor line.

[0036] In the present invention, the loading conveyor line 1, the unloading conveyor line 2, the batching conveyor line and the transition conveyor line 7 are all roller-type conveyor lines.

[0037] The outer side of the batching container 11 is provided with an identification code for storing the batching information, and a code scanning device is provided on one side of the receiving end entering the side track 3; the batching information includes the types of all raw materials that need to be injected into the batching container 11. In addition, the batching information also includes the required weight of each raw material. The identification code used in the present invention is a QR code or a bar code.

[0038] The batching transmission line is provided with a batching position; when the batching device 9 injects raw materials into the batching container 11 on the batching transmission line, the batching container 11 stays on the batching position; a weighing device 10 for weighing the batching container 11 is provided below the batching position. Specifically, the weighing device 10 includes a fixed frame 8-1, a lifting device 8-2 is provided on the fixed frame 8-1, a weighing sensor 8-3 is provided at the upper end of the lifting device 8-2, and a contact component 8-4 for contacting the bottom of the batching container 11 is provided on the weighing sensor 8-3.

[0039] Among them, the lifting device 8-2 can use a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder as the power, and the lifting drive device 14-1 is used to drive the weighing sensor 8-3 and the contact component 8-4 to move up and down. The weighing sensor 8-3 is electrically connected to the control system. When the weighing device 10 is in a non-working state, the upper end of the contact component 8-4 is lower than the upper end surface of the batching conveyor line. At this time; when the batching container 11 is located at the batching position and is about to be batched, the lifting device 8-2 drives the contact component 8-4 to move up to support the bottom of the batching container 11, and lift the batching container 11 upward for a certain distance, so that the bottom of the batching container 11 is separated from the batching conveyor line. The batching container 11 is weighed by the weighing sensor 8-3; by detecting the weight difference of the batching container 11 before and after each injection, the current injection weight of the raw material can be known.

[0040] In the present invention, the ingredient conveying line adopts a roller-type conveying line. The contact member 8-4 includes a bottom plate 8-4a and top plates 8-4b arranged on both sides above the bottom plate 8-4a. There is a certain gap between adjacent rollers on the roller-type conveying line, and the top plate 8-4b on the contact member 8-4 can pass through this gap.

[0041] Specifically, the ingredient feeding device 9 includes a frame 9-1, a rotary pushing and pulling device, and a feeding pipe. A guide block assembly is arranged on the frame 9-1. The guide block 9-12 array is composed of a number of sliders arranged in a circular array. A guide rail 9-6 is slidably connected to each slider. The guide rail 9-6 is arranged along the radial direction of the guide block assembly. A liquid injection component 9-7 is arranged at one end of the guide rail 9-6. A liquid outlet nozzle is arranged on the liquid injection component 9-7, and the liquid outlet nozzle is connected to one end of the feeding pipe. The other end of the feeding pipe is connected to the raw material tank 12, and a control valve is arranged on the feeding pipe; the rotary pushing and pulling device includes a rotary driving component 9-2 and a rotary frame 9-3. The rotary driving component 9-2 is connected to the rotary frame 9-3. The rotary frame 9-3 is located inside the slider assembly. A linear module 9-4 is arranged on the rotary frame 9-3. A pushing and pulling arm 9-5 is arranged on the linear module 9-4, and a roller 9-8 is arranged on the pushing and pulling arm 9-5; a pushing and pulling groove 9-7a is arranged on the liquid injection component 9-7; the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 is driven to rotate by the rotary driving component 9-2; when the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 rotates, the pushing and pulling grooves 9-7a on the liquid injection component 9-7 together form an annular channel, and the roller 9-8 moves in the annular channel; the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 is driven to move along the radial direction of the guide block assembly by the linear module 9-4; when the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 moves, it drives one of the liquid injection components 9-7 to move between the liquid injection position and the initial position, and the liquid injection position is located at the center of the guide block assembly.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotary driving component 9-2 is selected as a reduction motor. The guide blocks 9-12 are arranged in a circular array, so that the guide block assembly as a whole has an annular structure.

[0043] When injecting liquid into the ingredient container 11, the ingredient container 11 is moved to the ingredient position on the ingredient conveying line. At this time, the ingredient container 11 is just located below the liquid injection position; the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 first rotates to the liquid injection component 9-7 of the raw material to be added, and then the liquid injection component 9-7 is pulled to the liquid injection position by the radial movement of the pushing and pulling arm 9-5. Then the control valve on the feeding pipe connected to the liquid injection component 9-7 is opened, and the raw material in the raw material tank 12 is injected into the ingredient container 11 through the feeding pipe and the liquid outlet nozzle; after the raw material injection is completed, the control valve is closed, and the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 pushes the liquid injection component 9-7 to move to the initial position; then the pushing and pulling arm 9-5 rotates to the liquid injection component 9-7 corresponding to the next raw material, and the next raw material is injected in the same way.

[0044] For example, when a batching device 9 needs to inject three raw materials into the batching container 11 in total, the roller 9-8 on the push-pull arm 9-5 first rotates into the push-pull groove 9-7a on the liquid injection component 9-7 corresponding to the first raw material. Then, the linear module 9-4 drives the push-pull arm 9-5 to move radially, and the liquid injection component 9-7 is pulled to the liquid injection position through the push-pull arm 9-5. Then, the control valve on the material conveying pipe connected to the liquid injection component 9-7 is opened, and the raw material in the raw material tank 12 is injected into the batching container 11 through the material conveying pipe and the liquid outlet nozzle as the first raw material. After the injection of the first raw material is completed, the control valve is closed, and the push-pull arm 9-5 pushes the liquid injection component 9-7 to move to the initial position. Then, the second and third raw materials are injected in the same way.

[0045] In this embodiment, 80-100 liquid injection devices are arranged on one batching device 9. That is to say, one batching device 9 can dispense 80-100 kinds of raw materials. The whole set of equipment includes four batching devices 9 in total, and the whole set of equipment can dispense up to 320-400 kinds of raw materials, so as to effectively meet the dispensing requirements of some complex reagents.

[0046] The present invention further includes a raw material tank storage rack 13, and all the raw material tanks 12 are uniformly stored on the raw material tank storage rack 13.

[0047] Furthermore, a magnet bracket 9-9 corresponding to the liquid injection component 9-7 is arranged on the frame 9-1, a magnet 9-10 is arranged on the magnet bracket 9-9, and an armature 9-11 is arranged at one end of the liquid injection component 9-7. When the liquid injection component 9-7 is in the initial position, the magnet 9-10 attracts the armature 9-11 on the liquid injection component 9-7. When the liquid injection component 9-7 is in the initial position, the armature 9-11 at one end of the liquid injection component 9-7 is attracted by the magnet 9-10, and the suction force of the magnet 9-10 can accurately position the liquid injection component 9-7 at the initial position. Without the suction force of the magnet 9-10, during the use of the equipment, one or several of the liquid injection components 9-7 may move under the action of external forces, resulting in misalignment of several liquid injection components 9-7. The misalignment of the liquid injection components 9-7 will cause the push-pull grooves 9-7a on the liquid injection components 9-7 not to form a continuous annular channel, which will hinder the movement of the roller 9-8 in the annular channel. In the present invention, by arranging the magnet 9-10, the above problems are effectively solved.

[0048] The first trolley 5 includes a first moving chassis 5-1 that can move along the incoming side track 3. A first rotating device 5-2 is provided on the first moving chassis 5-1. A first carrier 5-3 is provided on the first rotating device 5-2. A first roller conveyor mechanism 5-4 is provided on the first carrier 5-3. The second trolley 6 includes a second moving chassis that can move along the incoming side track 3. A second rotating device is provided on the second moving chassis. A second carrier is provided on the second rotating device. A second roller conveyor mechanism is provided on the second carrier.

[0049] Among them, the first rotating device 5-2 is used to drive the first carrier 5-3 to rotate, so as to adjust the orientation of the first carrier 5-3. The first roller conveyor mechanism 5-4 provided on the first carrier 5-3 is driven by a motor to rotate the rollers, and is used to drive the batching container 11 to enter and exit on the first carrier 5-3. For example, when the batching container 11 on the feeding conveyor line 1 needs to be moved onto the first carrier 5-3, first, the first rotating device 5-2 drives the first carrier 5-3 to rotate so that it faces and aligns with the feeding conveyor line 1, and the batching container 11 is transferred onto the first carrier 5-3 through the feeding conveyor line 1 and the first roller conveyor mechanism 5-4 on the first carrier 5-3.

[0050] Similarly, the second rotating device is used to drive the second carrier to rotate, so as to adjust the orientation of the second carrier. The second roller conveyor mechanism provided on the second carrier is driven by a motor to rotate the rollers, and is used to drive the batching container 11 to enter and exit on the second carrier. For example, when the batching container 11 on the second carrier needs to be moved onto the discharging conveyor line 2, first, the second rotating device drives the second carrier to rotate so that it faces and aligns with the discharging conveyor line 2, and the batching container 11 is transferred onto the discharging conveyor line 2 through the discharging conveyor line 2 and the second roller conveyor mechanism on the second carrier.

[0051] Among them, blocking and releasing devices 14 are provided at one end of the batching conveyor line close to the output side track 4, one end of the transition conveyor line 7 close to the receiving end, and the batching position of the batching conveyor line. The blocking and releasing device 14 includes a driving device 14-1 and a blocking rod 14-2 connected to the driving device 14-1, and the blocking rod 14-2 is driven to rotate by the driving device 14-1.

[0052] The blocking rod 14-2 is driven to rotate by the driving device 14-1, and the blocking state and the release state are switched by the blocking rod 14-2. For example, when the batching container 11 is located at the batching position and batching is about to be carried out, the blocking and releasing device 14 located at the batching position is in the blocking state, and the blocking rod 14-2 is horizontally blocked in front of the batching container 11, so that the batching container 11 can be accurately located at the batching position; after the batching is completed, the blocking rod 14-2 is turned upward and the blocking and releasing device 14 is in the release state, so that the batching container 11 can be allowed to pass.

[0053] An automatic batching method comprises the following specific steps: Step 1: The batching container 11 on the feeding conveyor line 1 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end, the code scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11, and the control system reads the batching information to determine the total number of batching times and the batching device 9 that the batching container 11 needs to pass through in each batching. The batching device 9 is the target batching device 9.

[0054] Step 2: Determine the number of times the current batching corresponds to, and judge whether the current batching is the last batching. The number of times the current batching corresponds to is determined by the number of scans. For example, when a batching is performed, the identification code is scanned for the second time, and the number of times the current batching corresponds to is 2. If a batching is performed, the identification code is scanned for the first time, and the number of times the current batching corresponds to is 1.

[0055] The method for judging whether the current batching is the last batching is as follows: if the number of times corresponding to the current batching is less than the total number of times of batching, the current batching is not the last batching; if the number of times corresponding to the current batching is equal to the total number of times of batching, the current batching is the last batching.

[0056] Step three: the first trolley 5 transports the batching container 11 to the target batching device 9 corresponding to the current batching, and the batching container 11 is transferred from the first trolley 5 to the batching conveyor line corresponding to the target batching device 9. The batching container 11 moves to the batching position on the batching conveyor line and stops. At this time, the contact part 8-4 on the weighing device 10 moves upward to support the bottom of the batching container 11 and lift the batching container 11 upward. The required types of raw materials are injected into the batching container 11 in sequence through the target batching device 9, and the weight of the raw materials injected each time is detected by the weighing sensor 8-3; after the raw material injection is completed, the batching container 11 continues to move forward, the second trolley 6 moves to the position corresponding to the batching container 11, and the batching container 11 is transferred to the second trolley 6; the second trolley 6 moves to the turn-out end on the output side track 4.

[0057] Step 4: If the current batching is the last batching, the second trolley 6 transfers the batching container 11 to the blanking conveyor line 2; if the current batching is not the last batching, the second trolley 6 transfers the batching container 11 to the transition conveyor line 7, and through the transition conveyor line 7, the batching container 11 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving position. The scanning device scans the barcode on the batching container 11, and steps 2 to 4 are repeated.

[0058] The following provides a specific example of an automatic batching method: The automatic batching equipment has a total of four batching devices 9, which are respectively the No. 1 batching device, the No. 2 batching device, the No. 3 batching device, and the No. 4 batching device 9. The No. 1 batching device to the No. 4 batching device 9 are arranged in sequence. Among them, the No. 1 batching device is closest to the feeding conveyor line 1, and the No. 4 batching device 9 is at the position farthest from the feeding conveyor line 1. The types of raw materials that each batching device 9 can configure are known, and this information is stored in the control system in advance.

[0059] Now it is necessary to prepare reagent A, which is prepared from eight raw materials: raw material A, raw material B, raw material C, raw material D, raw material E, raw material F, raw material G, and raw material H. At this time, the batching information stored in the identification code on the batching container 11 includes the name of each raw material used to prepare reagent A and the weight of each raw material; Among them, the No. 1 batching device has a liquid injection component 9-7 that can inject raw material A, raw material B, and raw material C. The No. 2 batching device has a liquid injection component 9-7 that can inject raw material E and raw material F. The No. 3 batching device has a liquid injection component 9-7 that can inject raw material G and raw material H; when the batching container 11 for preparing reagent A moves to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end, the scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11 to read the batching information. After obtaining the batching information, the control system determines the total number of batching times and the batching devices 9 that the batching container 11 needs to pass through for each batching. In this example, a total of 3 batching operations are required, so the total number of batching times is 3. The first batching needs to pass through the No. 1 batching device, so the No. 1 batching device is the target batching device 9 for the first batching; similarly, the second batching needs to pass through the No. 2 batching device, so the No. 2 batching device is the target batching device 9 for the second batching; the third batching needs to pass through the No. 3 batching device, so the No. 3 batching device is the target batching device 9 for the third batching.

[0060] Subsequently, the control system determines whether the current batching is the last batching; since when the current batching is performed, the identification code is scanned for the first time, the number of times corresponding to the current batching is 1, which is less than the total number of batching times, so the current batching is not the last batching; Next, the first trolley 5 transports the batching container 11 to the No. 1 batching device. Then, the batching container 11 moves to the batching position on the batching conveyor line corresponding to the No. 1 batching device and stops. The contact component 8-4 on the weighing device 10 jacks up the batching container 11 and weighs the batching container 11. The No. 1 batching device injects raw material A, raw material B, and raw material C into the batching container 11 respectively. After the raw materials are injected, the contact component 8-4 on the weighing device 10 descends. The batching container 11 moves onto the second trolley 6, and the second trolley 6 transports the batching container 11 to the transfer end on the output side track 4. Since this batching is not the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end through the transition conveyor line 7. Then, the scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11 again, and then the second batching is carried out. The No. 2 batching device injects raw material E and raw material F into the batching container 11. After the raw materials are injected, the batching container 11 moves onto the second trolley 6, and the second trolley 6 transports the batching container 11 to the transfer end on the output side track 4. Since this batching is not the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end through the transition conveyor line 7. Since the second batching is not the last batching either, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the transition conveyor line 7, and the batching container 11 is transferred to the first trolley 5 at the receiving end through the transition conveyor line 7. The scanning device scans the identification code on the batching container 11 again, and then the third batching is carried out. Since the number of times corresponding to this batching is the same as the total number of batching times, this batching is the last batching. When the third batching is carried out, the No. 3 batching device injects raw material E and raw material F into the batching container 11. After the raw materials are injected, the batching container 11 moves onto the second trolley 6, and the second trolley 6 transports the batching container 11 to the transfer end on the output side track 4. Since this batching is the last batching, the batching container 11 will be transferred to the discharging conveyor line 2, thus completing the entire batching process.
