Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automation production, and in particular to an automatic bottle turning device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of food processing, etc., bottling is one of the most common packaging methods. After the bottle is filled and the cap is tightly closed, it is usually necessary to automatically spray a code on the cap and attach a traceability code. In order to ensure the correct angle of the sprayed code and the attached code, the angle of the bottle body needs to be consistent.

[0003] A production line automatic bottle turning system and a bottle turning method are disclosed in Chinese Patent (Publication No. CN 115196249 B). The system includes a bottle mechanism, a visual recognition mechanism, and a bottle turning mechanism. The visual recognition mechanism and the bottle turning mechanism are arranged in sequence along the direction of the conveyor belt. The bottle mechanism includes a number of baffles that separate a portion of the conveyor belt into a number of placement areas for separating the bottles. The visual recognition mechanism includes a camera and a processing module. The camera is used to acquire images, and the processing module is used to identify the angle of the bottles in the images. The bottle turning mechanism includes a clamping mechanism that clamps the bottles and turns them according to the angle. This ensures that the bottles are placed more uniformly, and the positions of the sprayed codes and the attached traceability codes are uniform.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned scheme, the correction of the bottle angle and the maintenance of the spacing both rely on pure rolling friction between the bottle and the follow-up belt and the clamping plate without slipping. In actual long-term operation, when the friction coefficient decreases due to factors such as component wear and surface contamination, the bottle is prone to slipping during the correction process. The slipping will cause the actual rotation angle of the bottle to be smaller than the theoretical calculation value, resulting in a failure of the angle correction and the inconsistent orientation of the bottle. In addition, the slipping may disrupt the synchronization between the bottle and the follow-up belt baffles, causing the spacing of the corrected bottles on the conveyor belt to be chaotic, which seriously affects the stable operation of the subsequent code spraying and label attaching stations.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above status, there is an urgent need to develop an automatic bottle turning device to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0030] The specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] As Figures 1-7 The automatic bottle turning device provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a base 1, a first return plate 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, a third return plate 20 slidably connected to the inner wall of the first return plate 2, a first sliding plate 3 slidably connected to the inner wall of the third return plate 20, a receiving groove 9 formed in the side of each first sliding plate 3 close to each other, a turning plate 10 rotatably connected to each receiving groove 9, an angle adjusting assembly 11 arranged between the two turning plates 10 in the same receiving groove 9, a return frame 12 fixedly connected to the other end of the turning plate 10, a compensation assembly 17 arranged on the return frame 12, a third motor 14 arranged on the compensation assembly 17, a rotating shaft 16 fixedly connected to the driving end of the third motor 14, and a rotating roller 15 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 16.

[0032] A T-shaped groove 4 is formed in the bottom end of the base 1, a T-shaped block 5 is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove 4, a driving mechanism 6 is arranged on the T-shaped block 5, the driving mechanism 6 is used to drive the T-shaped block 5 to slide along the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 4, a second return plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the T-shaped block 5, the T-shaped groove 4 and the T-shaped block 5 are used to limit the movement of the second return plate 7 to the direction of the T-shaped groove 4 (the movement direction of the conveying belt), a distance adjusting assembly 8 is arranged on the second return plate 7, and the two ends of the distance adjusting assembly 8 are fixedly connected to the first sliding plates 3, respectively. The distance adjusting assembly 8 is used to drive the two first sliding plates 3 to move close to or away from each other.

[0033] A limiting groove 21 is formed in the first return plate 2, a door-shaped frame 22 is fixedly connected between the two third return plates 20, the two side plates of the door-shaped frame 22 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the limiting grooves 21, respectively, and a second monitoring device 23 is arranged on the door-shaped frame 22. The second monitoring device 23 is used to monitor the image of the bottle cap of the bottle in real time and send it to the background for comparison with a standard image. The automatic bottle turning device further comprises an intermittent feeding mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is arranged in front of the base 1. The intermittent feeding mechanism is used to ensure that only one bottle enters the angle correction area between the two first return plates 2 on the conveying belt at a time and keeps the same distance.

[0034] Further, the driving mechanism 6 adopts a multi-stage electric push rod 172, one end of the driving mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the T-shaped groove 4, and the driving end of the driving mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped block 5.

[0035] It can be understood that the conveying belt passes through the upper end face of the base 1 and is located between the two first return plates 2, and the conveying belt carries the bottle body to pass between the two first return plates 2 for angle correction; the intermittent feeding mechanism belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here; the bottle body includes a bottle body and a bottle cap, and the angle of the bottle cap is monitored by the second monitoring device 23, and the bottle cap is rotated by rotating the bottle body.

[0036] Further, one end of the upper end of the base 1 near the intermittent feeding mechanism is fixedly connected with a connecting frame 18, and the first monitoring device 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 18, and the angle of the bottle cap of the bottle body to be entered between the two first return plates 2 is monitored by the first monitoring device 19.

[0037] In specific application, if the angle of the bottle cap is correct, the bottle body directly passes through the angle correction area between the two first return plates 2, and does not need to be clamped and driven to rotate by the plurality of rotating rollers 15, thereby reducing unnecessary operation and effectively reducing energy waste and wear of related parts structure; if the angle of the bottle cap is incorrect, the bottle body is clamped and driven to rotate by the plurality of rotating rollers 15, thereby performing angle correction.

[0038] In the embodiment of the application, the intermittent feeding mechanism is used to ensure that only one bottle body on the conveying belt enters the angle correction area between the two first return plates 2 each time, the distance adjusting assembly 8 is used to control the two first sliding plates 3 to move away from or close to each other, so that the rotating rollers 15 corresponding to different first sliding plates 3 are driven by the rotating plate 10 and the return frame 12 to move away from or close to each other, thereby controlling the plurality of rotating rollers 15 to clamp or move away from the bottle body, the T-shaped block 5 is driven by the driving mechanism 6 to slide along the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 4, and then the second return plate 7 is driven by the T-shaped block 5 to move along the direction of the T-shaped groove 4, and then the first sliding plate 3 is driven by the second return plate 7 to move along the direction of the T-shaped groove 4 through the distance adjusting assembly 8, and the return frame 12 drives the bottle body to move along the direction of the T-shaped groove 4 through the plurality of rotating rollers 15;

[0039] In this process, the first sliding plate 3 synchronously drives the third return plate 20 to move, the third return plate 20 drives the door-shaped frame 22 to synchronously slide along the inner wall of the limiting groove 21, the door-shaped frame 22 drives the second monitoring device 23 to synchronously move, so that the second monitoring device 23 is always located directly above the bottle body, the second monitoring device 23 and the bottle body are relatively stationary in the conveying direction of the conveying belt, the rotating roller 15 is controlled to rotate, thereby driving the bottle body to rotate for angle correction, and the second monitoring device 23 is used to monitor the angle of the bottle cap of the bottle body in real time, even if the plurality of rotating rollers 15 drive the bottle body to rotate for a short time, it will not affect the final correct angle of the bottle cap, thereby effectively ensuring the correct angle of the bottle body.

[0040] By controlling the driving mechanism 6 to drive the T-shaped block 5 to slide along the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 4 at the same speed as the moving speed of the conveying belt, the relative static state between the bottle body and the conveying belt is ensured, which can effectively ensure that the distance between the adjacent bottle body parts after correction is equal, and at the same time, when the plurality of rotating rollers 15 release the bottle body, the bottle body is prevented from tilting due to inertia.

[0041] By driving the rotating roller 15 to move through the compensation assembly 17, and then the rotating roller 15 extrudes the bottle body, the problem of wear of the roller body during long-term use is solved, the stable contact between the roller body 15 and the bottle body is ensured, the uniformity of the clamping pressure of each rotating roller on the bottle body is ensured, and the long-term slipping of the bottle body during rotation caused by poor contact is avoided, so that the rotation of the rotating roller 15 can finally ensure the correct angle of the bottle body.

[0042] By driving the corresponding two rotating plates 10 to rotate towards or away from each other through the angle adjusting assembly 11, the diameter of the circle formed by the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can be controlled to a large extent, and the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can clamp bottle bodies of different diameters, so that the bottle bodies with large diameter differences can be adapted. In addition, the diameter range of the circle formed by the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can be further expanded by the cooperation of the plurality of compensation assemblies 17 and the angle adjusting assembly 11, so that the diameter range of the adapted bottle body is expanded, and a single set of equipment can cover more categories of bottle body processing needs, reducing the number of special-purpose equipment.

[0043] It can be understood that since the compensation assembly 17 drives the rotating roller 15 to move a short distance, the plurality of compensation assemblies 17 can only control the clamping of bottle bodies of different diameters, but only fine tuning can be performed, and the bottle bodies with large diameter differences cannot be adapted, and the angle adjusting assembly 11 needs to be used to adapt the bottle bodies with large diameter differences.

[0044] As shown in Figures 3-5 The distance adjusting assembly 8 includes an L-shaped plate 81, a matching groove 82, a rack 83, a gear 84, and a first motor 85: the first sliding plate 3 is fixedly connected with the L-shaped plate 81, and the L-shaped plate 81 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the second return-shaped plate 7, the L-shaped plate 81 is provided with the matching groove 82, the inner wall of the matching groove 82 is fixedly connected with the rack 83, the inner bottom end of the second return-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected with the first motor 85, the driving end of the first motor 85 is fixedly connected with the gear 84 penetrating through the inner wall of the second return-shaped plate 7, and the gear 84 is meshingly connected with the two racks 83.

[0045] It can be understood that the included angle between the two rotating plates 10 in the same accommodating groove 9 needs to be an acute angle, so that when the compensation assembly 17 pushes the rotating roller 15 to move, the rotating roller 15 can be extruded to approach the bottle body.

[0046] Specific application, when need to clamp bottle body, control the drive end of the first motor 85 rotation, then the drive end of the first motor 85 drive gear 84 rotation, after gear 84 through rack 83 drive two L type plate 81 close to each other, then T block 5 base 1 drive first slide plate 3 close to each other, then the first slide plate 3 through the plate 10 drive back type frame 12 close to each other, then through the back type frame 12 drive the roller 15 close to each other, so as to clamp the bottle body;

[0047] When need to release the bottle body, control the drive end of the first motor 85 reverse rotation, then the drive end of the first motor 85 drive gear 84 rotation, after gear 84 through rack 83 drive two L type plate 81 away from each other, then T block 5 base 1 drive first slide plate 3 away from each other, then the first slide plate 3 through the plate 10 drive back type frame 12 away from each other, then through the back type frame 12 drive the roller 15 away from each other, so as to release the bottle body.

[0048] It can be understood that, according to the position of the intermittent feeding mechanism and the speed of the transmission belt, the position of the bottle on the transmission belt can be calculated, and then the first motor 85 and the drive mechanism 6 can be controlled to drive the plurality of rollers 15 to clamp the bottle accurately. This technology belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the angle adjusting assembly 11 comprises a second motor 111, a worm gear slot 112, a worm 113 and a support block 114; the support block 114 is fixedly connected in the accommodating groove 9, and the second motor 111 is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating groove 9. The drive end of the second motor 111 is fixedly connected with the worm 113, the other end of the worm 113 is rotatably connected with the support block 114, and the end of the rotating plate 10 away from the back type frame 12 is provided with a worm gear slot 112, and the worm gear slot 112 is meshed with the worm 113.

[0050] Specific application, control the drive end of the second motor 111 rotation, then the drive end of the second motor 111 drive worm 113 rotation, then the worm 113 through the worm gear slot 112 drive two symmetrical rotating plates 10 rotate close to or away from each other, so as to adjust the included angle between the two rotating plates 10 in the same accommodating groove 9, so as to adjust the diameter of the circle composed of the plurality of rollers 15, and then the plurality of rollers 15 can clamp the bottle body with different diameters.

[0051] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the compensation assembly 17 comprises an embedded groove 171, an electric push rod 172, a C-shaped plate 173 and an open groove 174; the embedded groove 171 is arranged on the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the back-shaped frame 12, the C-shaped plate 173 is slidably connected between the two embedded grooves 171, and the electric push rod 172 is arranged between the C-shaped plate 173 and the inner side wall of the back-shaped frame 12, wherein the inner wall of the upper embedded groove 171 is provided with the open groove 174, the two branches of the C-shaped plate 173 are rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 16, the third motor 14 is fixedly connected to the C-shaped plate 173, and one end of the third motor 14 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 16; the torque sensor (not shown in the figure) is further arranged between the driving end of the third motor 14 and the rotating shaft 16.

[0052] It can be understood that the torque change of the rotating shaft 16 detected by the torque sensor can indirectly calculate the load torque borne by the rotating roller 15, and the contact pressure can be converted according to the corresponding relationship between the torque and the pressure, so as to calculate the contact pressure between the rotating roller 15 and the bottle body. This method belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In specific application, when a certain rotating roller 15 has more wear, the contact pressure between the rotating roller 15 and the bottle body is detected by the torque sensor to be less than the contact pressure corresponding to the remaining rotating rollers 15, the electric push rod 172 is controlled to be elongated, then the electric push rod 172 drives the C-shaped plate 173 to slide along the inner wall of the embedded groove 171, then the C-shaped plate 173 drives the rotating roller 15 to move away from the electric push rod 172 through the rotating shaft 16, so as to drive the rotating roller 15 to continue to extrude and fit the bottle body, until the error between the plurality of torque sensors is within the allowable range, so as to ensure that the rotating roller 15 stably contacts the bottle body, and long-time sliding between the rotating roller 15 and the bottle body can be avoided, which is helpful for the final correct bottle cap angle.

[0054] In addition, through the cooperative movement of the plurality of electric push rods 172, the diameter of the circle composed of the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can also be controlled, so that the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can clamp bottle bodies of different diameters.

[0055] Further, as shown in Figure 6 The end of each of the plurality of back-shaped frames 12 close to each other is provided with a chamfer 13, so that when the two first sliding plates 3 are close to each other to clamp the bottle body, a guiding effect is formed to avoid rigid collision or jamming between the end of the back-shaped frame 12 and the bottle body, and thus the bottle body can smoothly enter the clamping area composed of the plurality of rotating rollers 15.

[0056] It can be understood that the chamfer 13 serves as a supplement to the method of controlling the first motor 85 and the driving mechanism 6 to drive the plurality of rotating rollers 15 to clamp the bottle body, so as to improve the fault tolerance effect.

[0057] The working principle of the present application is: first, the intermittent feeding mechanism ensures that only one bottle enters the angle correction area between the two first return plates 2 at a time, then the first monitoring device 19 monitors whether the cap angle of the bottle to be entered between the two first return plates 2 is correct, if the cap angle is correct, it directly passes through the angle correction area between the two first return plates 2, without the need to pass through the multiple rotating rollers 15 to clamp and drive the bottle to rotate;

[0058] If the cap angle is not correct, the distance adjusting assembly 8 controls the two first sliding plates 3 to approach each other, then the rotating plate 10 and the return frame 12 drive the corresponding rotating rollers 15 of different first sliding plates 3 to approach each other, until the multiple rotating rollers 15 clamp the bottle body, the driving mechanism 6 synchronously drives the T-shaped block 5 to slide along the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 4, then the T-shaped block 5 drives the second return plate 7 to move along the direction of the T-shaped groove 4, then the second return plate 7 drives the first sliding plate 3 to move along the direction of the T-shaped groove 4 through the distance adjusting assembly 8, the first sliding plate 3 drives the return frame 12 to move through the rotating plate 10, the return frame 12 drives the bottle body to move along the direction of the T-shaped groove 4 through the multiple rotating rollers 15, in this process, the first sliding plate 3 synchronously drives the third return plate 20 to move, the third return plate 20 drives the door-shaped frame 22 to synchronously slide along the inner wall of the limiting groove 21, the door-shaped frame 22 drives the second monitoring device 23 to synchronously move, so that the second monitoring device 23 is always above the bottle, the second monitoring device 23 is relatively stationary with the bottle in the movement direction of the conveying belt, the driving end of the third motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, then the rotating shaft 16 drives the rotating roller 15 to rotate, the multiple rotating rollers 15 drive the bottle to rotate for angle correction, thereby driving the bottle to rotate for angle correction, the second monitoring device 23 monitors in real time whether the cap angle of the bottle is correct, effectively ensuring that the angle of the bottle is correct;

[0059] When the angle correction of the bottle is completed, the distance adjusting assembly 8 controls the two first sliding plates 3 to move away from each other, then the rotating plate 10 and the return frame 12 drive the corresponding rotating rollers 15 of different first sliding plates 3 to move away from each other, until the multiple rotating rollers 15 are separated from the bottle body, the bottle continues to move with the conveying belt, then the driving mechanism 6 is controlled to reset, then the angle correction of the next bottle is carried out.

[0060] In addition, when a certain rotating roller 15 has more wear, the torque sensor detects that the contact pressure of the rotating roller 15 with the bottle body is less than the contact pressure of the remaining rotating rollers 15, the electric push rod 172 is controlled to elongate, then the electric push rod 172 drives the C-shaped plate 173 to slide along the inner wall of the embedded groove 171, then the C-shaped plate 173 drives the rotating roller 15 to move away from the electric push rod 172 through the rotating shaft 16, thereby driving the rotating roller 15 to continue to press and fit the bottle body, until the error between the multiple torque sensors is within the allowable range, thereby ensuring that the rotating roller 15 stably contacts the bottle body;

[0061] The corresponding two rotating plates 10 are rotated to approach or move away from each other by the angle adjusting assembly 11, so that the diameter of the circle formed by the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can be controlled greatly, and the plurality of rotating rollers 15 can clamp the bottle body with different diameters, so that the bottle body with a large diameter difference can be adapted.
