Detailed implementation manners

[0046] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0047] In order to enable those skilled in the art of this technology to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0048] The present invention provides an automatic cleaning and sterilization linkage line, which can realize full automation from automatic buffering, conveying, rough cleaning, cross - level transfer, fine cleaning, loading, transferring, entering the cabinet, sterilization, exiting the cabinet, unloading the vehicle, capping, until docking with the buffer isolator 11. The whole process avoids manual participation, has a high degree of automation, a fast processing speed, and greatly improves the production capacity.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 simultaneously. The automatic cleaning and sterilization linkage line provided by the present invention includes a cleaning mechanism, a pulsating vacuum thermo - humid sterilization cabinet 8 and a loading device.

[0050] The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the target part. The cleaning mechanism includes an automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 2 and an automatic barrel washer 3. The automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 2 is used for rough cleaning of the target part, and the automatic barrel washer 3 is used for fine cleaning of the target part. After being processed by the automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 2 and the automatic barrel washer 3, the cleanliness of the target part meets the requirements. In this implementation manner, the aluminum barrel is used as the target part. For the convenience of description, the aluminum barrel mentioned in the following description is the target part.

[0051] The pulsating vacuum moist heat sterilization cabinet 8 is used to sterilize the target parts. The pulsating vacuum moist heat sterilization cabinet 8 utilizes the physical property that a large amount of latent heat is released when saturated steam condenses, enabling the items to be sterilized to be in a high-temperature and humid state. After a period of heat preservation, the purpose of sterilization can be achieved. It mainly utilizes the strong penetration of high-temperature saturated steam, and the working temperature is generally between 120 °C and 130 °C. It should be noted here that the specific structure of the pulsating vacuum moist heat sterilization cabinet 8 can refer to the existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0052] The loading device is used to load the target parts cleaned by the cleaning mechanism into the pulsating vacuum moist heat sterilization cabinet 8. The loading device includes an inner cart 5 and a transfer and temporary storage mechanism. The inner cart 5 is used to carry the cleaned target parts, and the transfer and temporary storage mechanism is used for the transfer and temporary storage of the inner cart 5.

[0053] During use, the aluminum buckets are roughly cleaned by the automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 2 and finely cleaned by the automatic barrel washing machine 3. After cleaning, the aluminum buckets are orderly placed on the inner cart 5 and fixed, and the aluminum buckets do not squeeze or collide with each other. The transfer and temporary storage mechanism transfers the inner cart 5 carrying the aluminum buckets, and the aluminum buckets are sterilized by the pulsating vacuum moist heat sterilization cabinet 8.

[0054] With such a setting, the automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 2 and the automatic barrel washing machine 3 have high cleaning efficiency. The inner cart 5 is used to carry multiple aluminum buckets, and the transfer and temporary storage mechanism is used for the transfer and temporary storage of the inner cart 5, with a high degree of automation. It not only avoids manual participation throughout the process but also can process a large number of aluminum buckets simultaneously, meeting the requirements of large-scale production.

[0055] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the transfer and temporary storage mechanism includes an AGV transfer vehicle 6 and an inner cart temporary storage bracket 7. The AGV transfer vehicle 6 includes a frame 601, an in-out vehicle mechanism 602 and a lifting mechanism 603 provided on the frame 601. The inner cart temporary storage bracket 7 is provided with a loading and unloading position 701 and an in-out cabinet position 702.

[0056] Among them, the AGV transfer vehicle 6 transfers the inner cart 5 between the loading and unloading position 701 and the in-out cabinet position 702, and after the transfer is in place, the inner cart 5 is lowered and lifted by the lifting mechanism 603.

[0057] An AGV transfer vehicle (Automated Guided Vehicle) is an intelligent transportation device that realizes unmanned material handling through automatic navigation technology, and is widely used in fields such as manufacturing, warehousing logistics, and healthcare, which can significantly improve the operation efficiency and reduce the labor cost.

[0058] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 3 , there are two groups of transfer and temporary storage mechanisms:

[0059] One set of transfer and temporary storage mechanisms pushes the inner vehicle 5 into the pulsating vacuum thermo-hygro sterilization cabinet 8 through the vehicle inlet / outlet mechanism 602 of this set for sterilization, and pulls out the emptied vehicle after unloading from the pulsating vacuum thermo-hygro sterilization cabinet 8;

[0060] Another set of transfer and temporary storage mechanisms pushes the unloaded inner vehicle 5 into the pulsating vacuum thermo-hygro sterilization cabinet 8 through the vehicle inlet / outlet mechanism 602 of this set for transfer, and pulls out the sterilized inner vehicle 5 from the pulsating vacuum thermo-hygro sterilization cabinet 8 for unloading.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 simultaneously. The automatic cleaning and sterilization linkage line provided by the present invention further includes a roller conveyor 1. The roller conveyor 1 is used to convey the target parts that have not been cleaned to the cleaning mechanism. The roller conveyor 1 includes a buffer platform, a rough washing bucket picking position, a rough washing bucket placing position, a transfer window, and a fine washing bucket picking position;

[0062] Among them, the target parts are placed on the buffer platform for conveying and arranging. The rough washing bucket picking position is used for the roller conveyor 1 to convey the target parts to the automatic ultrasonic cleaning agent. The target parts after rough washing are placed at the rough washing bucket placing position. The fine washing bucket picking position is used for the roller conveyor 1 to convey the target parts to the automatic barrel washer 3.

[0063] During operation, the aluminum barrels after removing the outer packaging are placed at the end of the buffer platform, and the aluminum barrels automatically roll forward to complete the arrangement; after the automatic system starts, the aluminum barrels are transferred from the buffer platform to the rough washing bucket picking position, enter the automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 304 to complete rough washing, then are placed at the rough washing bucket placing position, and then are transferred to the fine washing bucket picking position through the transfer window across different-level rooms, waiting to enter the automatic barrel washer 3, so as to realize the buffering and transfer of the aluminum barrels through the roller conveyor 1.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 simultaneously. The automatic ultrasonic cleaning machine 2 includes a cleaning tank 201, a barrel inlet lifting mechanism 202, a barrel outlet lifting mechanism 203, a barrel inlet gripper 204, a translation mechanism 205, and a barrel outlet gripper 206.

[0065] The barrel inlet lifting mechanism 202 is installed on the cleaning tank 201 and is used to drive the target parts to descend into the cleaning tank 201; the barrel outlet lifting mechanism 203 is used to drive the target parts to rise out of the cleaning tank 201; the barrel inlet gripper 204 is installed on the cleaning tank 201 and is used to grab the target parts from the rough washing bucket picking position of the roller conveyor 1 and transfer them to the barrel inlet lifting mechanism 202; the translation mechanism 205 is arranged in the cleaning tank 201 and is used to drive the target parts to move in the barrel outlet direction to the barrel outlet lifting mechanism 203; the barrel outlet gripper 206 is installed on the cleaning tank 201 and is used to grab the target parts from the translation mechanism 205 and place them at the rough washing bucket placing position of the roller conveyor 1.

[0066] Specifically, the barrel entry gripper 204 retracts from the barrel picking position for rough washing and hands over the aluminum barrel to the barrel entry lifting mechanism 202. The barrel entry lifting mechanism 202 descends with the barrel into the cleaning tank 201. During the ultrasonic cleaning process, the barrel is gradually transferred to the barrel exit direction by the translation mechanism 205. After the aluminum barrel reaches the barrel exit lifting mechanism 203, it rises with the aluminum barrel and hands over to the barrel exit gripper 206. The barrel exit gripper 206 extends out to place the aluminum barrel at the barrel placement position for rough washing, completing the rough washing of the aluminum barrel.

[0067] There are two automatic ultrasonic cleaning machines 304 , and the automatic ultrasonic cleaning machines 304 can be operated alone, or the two automatic ultrasonic cleaning machines 304 can work simultaneously, so as to alternately take and put the barrels, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The automatic barrel washing machine 3 includes a carrying platform 301 , a barrel inlet turning mechanism 302 , a barrel inlet mechanism 303 , a washing machine 304 and a barrel outlet mechanism 305 .

[0069] The barrel feeding and turning mechanism 302 is installed on the supporting platform 301, and is used to receive the target parts from the fine washing barrel taking position of the roller conveyor 1 and turn them 180°; the barrel feeding mechanism 303 is installed on the supporting platform 301, and is used to receive the target parts from the barrel feeding and turning mechanism 302; the cleaning machine 304 is installed on the supporting platform 301, and a cleaning mechanism 3041 and a rotating clamp 3042 are provided inside the cleaning machine 304, and the rotating clamp 3042 is rotatably installed in the cleaning machine 304, and the rotating clamp 3042 is used to receive the target parts transferred by the barrel feeding mechanism 303, and drive the target parts to rotate so as to clean the target parts through the cleaning mechanism 3041; the barrel discharging mechanism 305 is installed on the supporting platform 301, and is used to enter the cleaning machine 304 and connect with the rotating clamp 3042 to take out the cleaned target parts.

[0070] Specifically, the barrel inlet turning mechanism 302 takes the barrel from the fine washing barrel taking position, turns 180 degrees and then connects with the barrel inlet mechanism 303, the barrel inlet mechanism 303 brings the barrel into the automatic barrel washing machine 3 and connects with the rotating clamp 3042, after the handover is completed, the rotating clamp 3042 rotates with the barrel and completes the cleaning work under the action of the four groups of cleaning mechanisms, after the cleaning is completed, the barrel outlet mechanism 305 enters the automatic barrel washing machine 3 and connects with the rotating clamp 3042 to take out the aluminum barrel, and then docks with the barrel loading mechanism 4. Two automatic barrel washing machines 3 are used here, which can work at the same time, alternately taking and discharging barrels, improving work efficiency, and can also be operated alone.

[0071] Among them, two automatic barrel washing machines 3 are provided, and the automatic barrel washing machines 3 can be operated alone, or the two automatic barrel washing machines 3 can work at the same time, so as to alternately take in and out barrels, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0072] Please refer toFigure 1 and Figure 8 The automatic cleaning and sterilization linkage line provided by the present invention further includes a barrel loading mechanism 4 and a barrel unloading mechanism 9. The barrel loading mechanism 4 is used to load the target parts that have been cleaned onto the transfer and temporary storage mechanism, and the barrel unloading mechanism 9 is used to unload the target parts from the transfer and temporary storage mechanism.

[0073] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The barrel loading mechanism 4 includes a first robotic arm 401 and a first clamping device 402 installed on the first robotic arm 401. The barrel unloading mechanism 9 includes a second robotic arm and a second clamping device installed on the second robotic arm.

[0074] During barrel loading, after the first clamping device 402 of the barrel loading mechanism 4 receives the aluminum barrel from the barrel discharging mechanism 305 on the automatic barrel washing machine 3, it places the aluminum barrel on the aluminum barrel position on the inner vehicle 5 one by one according to the program. When two automatic barrel washing machines 3 are producing simultaneously, the barrel loading mechanism 4 can alternately receive barrels from the barrel discharging mechanisms 305 of the two automatic barrel washing machines 3.

[0075] During barrel unloading, the second clamping device of the barrel unloading mechanism 9 grabs the aluminum barrels from the inner vehicle 5 located at the loading and unloading position 701 one by one according to the program.

[0076] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 10 The automatic cleaning and sterilization linkage line provided by the present invention further includes a docking and capping mechanism 10.

[0080] In addition, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of inner carts 5 is three, and the three carts circulate. For example, at the start of the system, one inner cart 5 can load goods at the loading position in the C-class room, one inner cart 5 can wait at the access cabinet position 702, and the other inner cart 5 is in the B-class room; after the loading is completed, the inner cart 5 is transferred to the access cabinet position 702 by the AGV transfer vehicle 6 in one of the transfer and temporary storage mechanisms and enters the cabinet for sterilization. Then, the AGV transfer vehicle 6 transfers the inner cart 5 waiting at the out-cabinet position to the loading position for loading. Then, in cooperation with the AGV transfer vehicle 6 in the other set of transfer and temporary storage mechanisms after sterilization, the inner cart 5 enters and exits the cabinet, and then is transferred by the AGV transfer vehicle 6 in the first set of transfer and temporary storage mechanisms to the access cabinet position 70272 to wait, and so on in a cycle.

[0081] The customized AGV transfer vehicle 6 is used to complete the transportation and access of the inner cart 5 to the cabinet. By adopting the method of AGV transfer, loading and unloading position 701 and the circulation of multiple inner carts 5, the downtime of the cleaning and sterilization equipment is greatly reduced, and the utilization rate of the equipment is greatly improved, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0082] The automatic cleaning and sterilization linkage line provided by the present invention has a high degree of automation of the equipment, avoiding manual participation throughout the process; adopting a modular structure, it is easy to maintain and adapt to different production requirements; the production efficiency is extremely high. By adopting the method of AGV transfer, loading and unloading position 701 and the circulation of multiple inner carts 5, the production speed can reach 3 times that of the existing method, and it is especially suitable for mass production.

[0083] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.
