Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stacking equipment, and particularly relates to a beer container automatic stacking equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Beer is a popular beverage, and the efficiency and safety of its production, storage and logistics are crucial. After filling, beer containers (usually plastic turnover boxes or paper boxes) need to be efficiently and neatly stacked on pallets to facilitate subsequent storage, transportation and handling. Automatic stacking equipment plays a key role in this link, significantly improving efficiency and reducing labor costs and labor intensity.

[0003] When the conveying mechanism provided in the stacking equipment conveys the beer boxes, the beer boxes are usually conveyed horizontally in a fixed direction to the stacking station. However, in order to meet the compactness and stability of the pallet stacking (for example, staggered stacking to increase stability), the beer boxes often need to be changed in angle during stacking. The existing stacking equipment usually rotates and adjusts the angle of the beer boxes in the air after the beer boxes are clamped and separated from the conveying mechanism. The beer boxes (especially full paper boxes) are rotated in a suspended state, and the box structure bears additional torsional load and inertial force, combined with the shaking of the liquid (beer) in the beer box, which easily causes irreversible deformation of the box and even structural damage. The deformed box not only affects the stability of the stacking, but also increases the risk of accidental slipping and falling during rotation or movement, posing a serious safety threat to the equipment and personnel below and possibly causing product loss and production line interruption.

[0004] In addition, when the clamping device clamps the beer boxes, the beer boxes are usually arranged and placed directly on the pallets, and the beer boxes are placed on the pallets in layers, and the stacking height gradually increases. It is inevitable that there will be errors in the placement position, such as size errors of the beer boxes themselves and incomplete flatness of the previous layer, which will accumulate errors during the stacking process, causing the entire stack of beer boxes to be skewed, misaligned, have too large or too small gaps, thereby greatly reducing the stability of the stacked beer boxes. During subsequent handling, transportation or storage, the entire stack or part of the beer boxes can easily tilt and collapse, causing damage to the goods.

[0005] On this basis, the present application provides a beer container automatic stacking equipment to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present application provides a beer container automatic stacking equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention are described below with reference to the attached Figures 1 to 10 The details of the embodiments will be clearly presented. The contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all based on the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The present invention is an automated stacking device for beer containers. Existing stacking devices all clamp beer crates, remove them from a conveying mechanism 2, and then perform angular rotation adjustments of the beer crates in mid-air. The beer crates are then subjected to torsional loads and liquid sloshing forces, making them susceptible to deformation or damage, and presenting a risk of slippage and falling.

[0036] For the clamping equipment on the stacking equipment, the beer boxes are directly arranged and placed on the pallet, and stored layer by layer. For the layer-by-layer stacking process, placement errors, size errors and unevenness of the previous layer will cause cumulative errors, resulting in the entire stack of beer boxes being skewed and misplaced, with poor stability, and extremely easy to tilt and collapse during handling and transportation.

[0037] As an example, Figures 1 to 8As shown, the present invention includes a base frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a first slide rail 3, a second slide rail 4 and a third slide rail 5. Both sides of the base frame 1 are fixedly connected to a support block 12, and the support block 12 is long. A "convex"-shaped first slide groove 13 is opened on the two support blocks 12, and one side of the first slide groove 13 is connected to the outside. A "convex"-shaped slider 14 is slidably connected in the two first slide grooves 13, and the two sliders 14 slide in the two first slide grooves 13 respectively. The opposite sides of the two sliders 14 are fixedly connected to a support plate 15, and the opposite sides of the two support plates 15 are provided with a movable limiting roller 19, which can rotate freely, and the two limiting rollers 19 cooperate with each other; the conveying mechanism 2 is a prior art, and a plurality of rollers are rotatably installed on the conveying mechanism 2. The roller position on the conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a limiting groove 30, and the limiting groove 30 is rectangular. A frame 31 is fixedly connected in the limiting groove 30, and the frame 31 is "凵" shaped. The top is lower than the highest point of the roller on the conveying mechanism 2, and the bottom of the frame 31 is penetrated by a cylinder 32, and the cylinder 32 can slide freely up and down at the bottom of the frame 31, and a pushing rod 33 is rotatably connected in the cylinder 32, and the top of the pushing rod 33 is fixedly connected to a "cross"-shaped supporting frame 34. The cross-shaped supporting frame 34 has a horizontal structure that can be located in the frame 31, and the longitudinal structure is located between the frame 31 and the two rollers. The supporting frame 34 is located above the cylinder 32, and the bottom of the cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to a gear box 37. The gear box 37 is cylindrical, and the bottom of the gear box 37 is fixedly connected to a limiting frame 41. The limiting frame 41 is in the shape of "冂". The bottom of the limiting frame 41 is rotatably connected to a walking wheel 42, and the bottom of the walking wheel 42 is lower than the bottom of the limiting frame 41. The bottom of the conveying mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to a supporting frame 43, and the supporting frame 43 is in the shape of "凵". A rotatable pushing component 47 is provided on the supporting frame 43, and the pushing component 47 cooperates with the walking wheel 42.

[0038] In this embodiment, the slider 14 is raised or lowered in the first chute 13, thereby driving the limiting roller 19 on one side to rise or fall synchronously. When the subsequent clamping plate 10 clamps the beer box and places it on the pallet, it drives the limiting roller 19 to descend, and cooperates to limit the beer box when placing the beer box. By installing the frame 31 on the conveying mechanism 2, the end with the cutout in the middle of the roller is rotated and connected to the frame 31, so that when the roller rotates normally, the frame 31 will not rotate with it, and then the reduction motor 44 (subsequent structure) pushes the cylinder 32 on the frame 31. It rises, thereby driving the support bracket 34 to extend from the frame 31, lifting the beer box on the conveying mechanism 2, and then rotating the push rod 33 inside the cylinder 32 to drive the support bracket 34 to rotate above the conveying mechanism 2, thereby driving the lifted beer box to rotate to adjust its position. After the conveying angle of the beer box is adjusted, the reduction motor 44 (subsequent structure) drives the beer box to descend, so that the beer box falls on the conveying mechanism 2, and the conveying operation continues. When the support bracket 34 continues to descend, it finally falls into the frame 31, thereby avoiding affecting the beer box during the conveying process.

[0039] It should be noted that the beer box referred to here is a box-packed beer box in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0040] As an example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tops of the two sliders 14 are fixedly connected with a pull rope 23, and the sides of the two support blocks 12 away from each other are provided with a through hole 24. The two through holes 24 are square and have an arc-shaped slope at the bottom, so that the pull rope 23 can slide smoothly in the through hole 24. The two through holes 24 are respectively connected to the two first slide grooves 13, and the sides of the two support blocks 12 away from each other are provided with a movable counterweight block 25. The other ends of the two pull ropes 23 pass through the corresponding through holes 24 and are fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding counterweight block 25. The sides of the two support plates 15 away from each other are fixedly connected with a "冂"-shaped bracket 26, and the bottom sides of the bracket 26 are respectively located on both sides of the support block 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the beer box is lifted up by clamping, it is moved to the top of the pallet, and then the carrying slide 6 is lowered and pressed against the bracket 26, driving the two brackets 26 to descend synchronously, and the bracket 26 drives the two support plates 15 to descend, thereby driving the limiting rollers 19 on the support plates 15 to descend synchronously, so that the limiting rollers 19 are attached to the sides of the stacked beer boxes, limiting the beer boxes and correcting the position of the tilted beer boxes to prevent them from tilting and collapsing. In the process of the bracket 26 driving the support plate 15 to descend, the support plate 15 drives the slider 14 to slide down in the first slide groove 13. When the slider 14 descends, the outer The pull rope 23 enters the first slide groove 13 through the hole 24, pulling the counterweight block 25 on one side of the support block 12 to rise. After the beer box is placed, the load-bearing slide 6 rises, releasing the pressure on the bracket 26. At this time, the counterweight block 25 is no longer subject to the tension of the pull rope 23 and descends under the action of its own gravity, causing the pull rope 23 in the first slide groove 13 to be pulled out through the hole 24. The pull rope 23 pulls the slider 14 to rise in the first slide groove 13, thereby driving the support plate 15 to rise, and then driving the limit roller 19 to rise and reset, to avoid hindering the pallet removal operation after the subsequent stacking is completed.

[0042] As an example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side away from the support block 12 with two fixing plates 16, both of which are arch-shaped. The two fixing plates 16 are located on both sides of the support plate 15, and a second slide groove 17 is provided on the two fixing plates 16. The second slide groove 17 runs through the fixing plate 16, and the two second slide grooves 17 are both in the shape of an arch. The shape of the two second slide grooves 17 matches the shape of the two fixing plates 16, and the two second slide grooves 17 are slidably connected to the limit rods 18. The diameter of the two limit rods 18 is the same as the height of the second slide groove 17, so that the limit rods 18 can fit and slide in the second slide groove 17, and the limit rods 18 are rotatably connected to the limit rods 18. Roller 19, the limiting roller 19 is located between the two fixed plates 16, and each limiting rod 18 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 20 on one side. The two guide rods 20 are respectively located in the two second slide grooves 17, and the support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side away from the support block 12 with two springs 22. The two springs 22 are respectively located in the two second slide grooves 17, and one end of the two guide rods 20 is respectively passed through the two springs 22. A baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the two guide rods 20, and the two baffles 21 are both circular. The two baffles 21 are coaxially connected to the two guide rods 20 respectively, and the baffle 21 is located between the spring 22 and the limiting rod 18. The two baffles 21 respectively cooperate with the two springs 22.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the limiting roller 19 descends, it first contacts the side of the stacked beer boxes. The limiting roller 19 pushes the side of the beer boxes so that the stacked beer boxes remain parallel and neat. In order to prevent a beer box from being overturned due to the downward pressure of the limiting roller 19 when the stacking is not neat, when the limiting roller 19 contacts the side of the beer box, the beer box pushes the limiting roller 19 and the limiting rod 18 (the limiting rod 18 slides in the second slide groove 17) back to move closer to the support plate 15. The two limiting rods 18 drive the two guide rods 20 closer to the support plate 15. During this process, the guide rod 20 gradually enters the spring 22 area, and the two baffles 21 on the guide rod 20 immediately contact the two springs 22. As the limiting roller 19 continues to move toward the support plate 15, the baffles 21 squeeze the spring 22, causing the spring 22 to undergo elastic deformation, so that the limiting roller 19 can fit closely to the side of the beer box, better limit the position of the beer box, and correct the misplaced position of the beer box.

[0044] When the splint 10 descends, the limiting rollers 19 on both sides descend synchronously. When the splint 10 descends to place the clamped beer box on the pallet, it touches the beer box placed in advance, which can easily cause the beer box placed in advance to tilt and collapse. At this time, the limiting rollers 19 descend synchronously and squeeze the beer box, which can prevent the beer box placed in advance from tilting and collapsing. After the beer box is placed, the limiting rollers 19 rise and separate from the side of the beer box. At this time, the spring 22 is no longer under pressure and rebounds under the action of its own elastic restoring force, driving the baffle 21 (and the guide rod 20) to move away from the support plate 15, thereby driving the two limiting rods 18 to slide in the opposite direction in the second slide groove 17 until the two limiting rods 18 are respectively attached to the side of the second slide groove 17 away from the support plate 15, thereby resetting the limiting rollers 19.

[0045] As an example, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the bottom end of the push rod 33 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 36, and the surface of the push rod 33 rotates and fits the inner wall of the cylinder 32. The first rotating shaft 36 is located in the cylinder 32. The lower end of the first rotating shaft 36 extends through the cylinder 32 and extends into the gear box 37. The bottom end of the first rotating shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 38. The first bevel gear 38 is located in the gear box 37. The gear box 37 is laterally connected to the second rotating shaft 39. The second rotating shaft 39 is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 36. A second bevel gear 40 is fixedly connected to the shaft 39, and the first bevel gear 38 is meshed with the second bevel gear 40. One end of the second rotating shaft 39 is fixedly connected to a one-way wheel 48. The one-way wheel 48 is a prior art, including a wheel body (the wheel body is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 39), a pawl, a pawl return spring, a shell and a ratchet. The one-way wheel 48 is located on one side of the gear box 37, and a gear 49 is fixedly sleeved on the one-way wheel 48. A rack 50 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 31, and the gear 49 is meshed with the rack 50.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the reduction motor 44 (subsequent structure) pushes the cylinder 32 to rise, the gear box 37 at the bottom is driven to rise synchronously. When the cylinder 32 continues to rise, the support bracket 34 extends out from the frame 31 to lift the beer box. When the cylinder 32 (and the gear box 37) rise to a certain height, the gear 49 on one side of the second rotating shaft 39 contacts the rack 50. When the cylinder 32 continues to rise, since the one-way wheel 48 is in a reverse gear state in this direction, the gear 49 and the second rotating shaft 39 are a whole in this rotation direction. When the gear 49 engages with the rack 50 and rises, the gear 49 drives the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate relative to the gear box 37. The second rotating shaft 39 drives the second bevel gear 40 to rotate in the gear box 37. The second bevel gear 40 drives the first bevel gear 38 to rotate in the gear box 37, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 36 to rotate in the cylinder 32, thereby The push rod 33 is driven to rotate in the cylinder 32, and the rotation of the push rod 33 drives the support bracket 34 at the top to rotate above the conveying mechanism 2. When the push rod 33 drives the support bracket 34 to rotate 90 degrees, the cylinder 32 also rises to the highest position synchronously. At this time, the reduction motor 44 (subsequent structure) drives the cylinder 32 to descend, thereby driving the gear box 37 at the bottom to descend. In the process of the gear 49 moving downward with the gear box 37 and engaging the rack 50, the gear 49 will try to rotate in the opposite direction due to the meshing relationship. At this time, the one-way wheel 48 is allowed to rotate freely in this direction (idling). Therefore, when the gear 49 engages the rack 50 and moves downward and tries to rotate in the opposite direction, it will drive the one-way wheel 48 to idle relative to the second rotating shaft 39, and cannot drive the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate. In this way, it will not drive the support bracket 34 at the top of the cylinder 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby completing the adjustment of the conveying angle of the beer box.

[0047] As an example, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, a reduction motor 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 43, and the reduction motor 44 is connected to the power supply and the controller. The output shaft of the reduction motor 44 is fixedly connected to the support shaft 45. The bottom of the support frame 43 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 46, and the support shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 46. The pushing component 47 includes a disc 471, and the disc 471 is fixedly connected to the support shaft 45. Four cam teeth 472 are fixedly connected to the disc 471. The distance between the four cam teeth 472 is the same. The contour of the disc 471 is evenly divided into seven equal parts, and the four cam teeth 472 occupy four equal parts. The disc 471 cooperates with the walking wheel 42 through the cam teeth 472, and the top of the support frame 34 is provided with an anti-slip groove 35.

[0048] In this embodiment, four cam teeth 472 are provided on the disc 471, and there is an idle circumferential section without cam teeth 472 between the teeth. When the conveying angle of the conveyed beer box needs to be adjusted, the reduction motor 44 is operated to drive the support shaft 45 to rotate on the bearing seat 46, thereby driving the disc 471 to rotate, so that the walking wheel 42 contacts the surface of the disc 471 and rolls accordingly. When the disc 471 rotates so that the cam teeth 472 thereon move to the bottom of the walking wheel 42, the cam teeth 472 push the walking wheel 42 to rise along its rising profile. The rising walking wheel 42 pushes the limit frame 41 to rise. The limit frame 41 pushes the top gear box 37 and the cylinder 32 to rise, thereby driving the top support frame 34 to rise from the frame 31, and the beer box is lifted. When the walking wheel 42 moves to its highest point along the cam teeth 472, the cylinder 32 reaches the highest elevation point. As the support shaft 45 continues to rotate, the disc 471 continues to rotate, driving the walking wheel 42 to move along the descending profile of the cam teeth 472. At this time, the walking wheel 42 drives the limit frame 41 to descend, and then drives the cylinder 32 and the support bracket 34 to descend, and the beer box on the top of the support bracket 34 also descends. When the walking wheel 42 moves along the descending profile of the cam teeth 472 to disengage from the cam teeth 472 and re-contact the surface of the disc 471, the support bracket 34 completely enters the frame 31, places the lifted beer box on the conveying mechanism 2, and continues the conveying operation. According to the stacking requirements, when a beer box that does not need to adjust the conveying angle passes by, the disc 471 just rotates to the idle circumferential segment, and the lifting operation can be avoided. In addition, the surface of the support bracket 34 is provided with anti-slip grooves 35, which play an anti-slip role when lifting the beer box.

[0049] As an example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, there are two first slide rails 3, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base frame 1 respectively, the second slide rail 4 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 3, the third slide rail 5 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 4, and the third slide rail 5 is slidably connected to a load-bearing slide 6, both sides of the load-bearing slide 6 are fixedly connected with a pressure frame 27, and the two pressure frames 27 are respectively matched with the tops of the two brackets 26, and the bottom of the load-bearing slide 6 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 7, and the bottom of the mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected with a bidirectional electric push rod 8, which is connected to the power supply and the controller. Both output ends are fixedly connected to a fixed block 9, and the bottoms of the two fixed blocks 9 are fixedly connected to a plywood 10. The two plywoods 10 cooperate with each other, and the opposite sides of the two plywoods 10 are fixedly connected to a plurality of rubber strips 11. A connecting rod frame 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the conveying mechanism 2, and a sensor 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod frame 28. The sensor 29 includes but is not limited to an infrared sensor and a laser sensor, etc. The sensor 29 is connected to a controller and a power supply. The sensor 29 is located above the conveying mechanism 2, and a receiver that can be used in conjunction with the sensor 29 is provided below the conveying mechanism 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second slide rail 4 slides on the first slide rail 3 to achieve the movement of the splint 10 along the X-axis; the third slide rail 5 slides on the second slide rail 4 to achieve the movement of the splint 10 along the Y-axis; the supporting slide 6 slides on the third slide rail 5 to achieve the movement of the splint 10 along the Z-axis.

[0051] When the carrying slide 6 moves to above the conveying mechanism 2, the two clamping plates 10 at its bottom move to both sides of the beer box, and the bidirectional electric push rod 8 is started, driving the two output ends to retract, driving the two clamping plates 10 to move closer to each other, clamping the beer box located between the two clamping plates 10. After clamping, the clamped beer box is driven to move above the pallet through the aforementioned three-axis moving mechanism (i.e., the first slide rail 3, the second slide rail 4, the third slide rail 5 and the carrying slide 6), and the beer box is placed on the pallet for stacking.

[0052] When the sensor 29 detects the beer box being transported on the transport mechanism 2 , it sends a signal to the reduction motor 44 via the controller, thereby starting the reduction motor 44 and driving the cylinder 32 to move up and down through the pushing component 47 .

[0053] It should be noted that the first slide rail 3, the second slide rail 4, the third slide rail 5, the load-bearing slide 6 and the bidirectional electric push rod 8 are necessary structures for the operation of the equipment. The drive, controller, sensor, etc. required for their movement coordination are all existing technologies and will not be repeated here.

[0054] Working principle of the present invention:

[0055] When in use, the sensor 29 detects the beer box on the conveying mechanism 2, and sends a signal to the reduction motor 44 through the controller. The reduction motor 44 drives the disc 471 to rotate, and the cam teeth 472 on the disc 471 push the walking wheel 42 to rise, thereby driving the top barrel 32 to rise synchronously, driving the support bracket 34 to extend from the frame 31, and lift the beer box on the conveying mechanism 2. After the beer box is lifted and separated from the conveying mechanism 2, the barrel 32 continues to rise, and the gear 49 (on the second rotating shaft 39) engages with the rack 50, causing the gear 49 to rotate, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft 39 is rotated. The second bevel gear 40 on the rotating shaft 39 drives the first bevel gear 38 to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 36 to rotate, and then driving the supporting bracket 34 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the lifted beer box. The walking wheel 42 then descends along the contour of the cam teeth 472. When it descends to the gap between the cam teeth 472, the supporting bracket 34 is placed in the frame 31. At this time, the reduction motor 44 completes a cycle of work and waits for the sensor 29 to send the next signal. The cycle work of the reduction motor 44 can be achieved through various means, including but not limited to relays, angle sensors, stroke sensors, contact sensors, set time, etc.

[0056] After adjustment, the conveying mechanism 2 continues to convey the beer box until the beer box moves along the conveying mechanism 2 into the base frame 1, and through the three-axis moving mechanism (first slide rail 3, second slide rail 4, third slide rail 5 and load-bearing slide 6), the two clamps 10 are driven to move above the beer box, clamp and lift the beer box, and place it on the pallet.

[0057] When placing the beer box on the pallet, the bracket 26 is pressed downward by the pressure frames 27 on both sides of the load-bearing slide 6, driving the two support plates 15 to descend, so that the limiting rollers 19 installed thereon descend and fit against the side of the beer box for limiting and correcting the tilted beer box. After the beer box is placed on the pallet, the load-bearing slide 6 rises to release the pressure on the bracket 26. At this time, the counterweight block 25 descends under the action of gravity, and the slider 14 is pulled up by the pull rope 23, driving the limiting rollers 19 to rise and reset to avoid hindering the subsequent removal of the pallet.

[0058] The present invention has the following technical effects.

[0059] 1. The present invention facilitates pushing the support bracket 34 in the frame 31 by means of the support shaft 45, the pushing assembly 47, the traveling wheel 42 and the cylinder 32, so that the support bracket 34 pushes the beer crate on the conveying mechanism 2 to lift it, thereby separating it from the conveying mechanism 2 and facilitating adjustment. By providing the first rotating shaft 36, the first bevel gear 38, the second rotating shaft 39 and the one-way wheel 48, etc., it is convenient to drive the support bracket 34 to rotate after driving the beer crate to separate from the conveying mechanism 2, thereby achieving adjustment of the conveying angle of the beer crate during conveyance.

[0060] 2. The present invention uses the limiting groove 30, frame 31, support bracket 34 and anti-slip groove 35. When there is no need to change the conveying direction of the beer box, the support bracket 34 can be stored in the frame 31 to avoid affecting the conveying mechanism 2; the anti-slip groove 35 prevents slipping when lifting the beer box; the sensor 29 cooperates with the reduction motor 44 to enable the support bracket 34 to lift the beer box for adjustment.

[0061] 3. The present invention uses the pressing frame 27, the bracket 26, the slider 14 and the counterweight 25 to facilitate the clamping plate 10 to clamp the beer box and place it, while driving the limiting roller 19 to descend, limiting the stacked beer box and keeping the side of the stacked beer box flat.

[0062] 4. The present invention uses the fixed plate 16, the second chute 17, the guide rod 20 and the spring 22 to enable the descending limiting roller 19 to fit the side of the stacked beer boxes and adapt to different stacking widths.
