Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of workshop conveying, in particular to a non-contact conveying and buffering method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The packaging bottles of special-shaped and special material specifications have good warehouse shelf attraction due to the diversified appearance characteristics, are the popular packaging method on the market at the current stage, and are gradually becoming one of the strategies for improving brand degree and product. However, such packaging has a great quality control risk in the production conveying process. For example, some bottles made of environmentally friendly materials are usually soft in bottle body and light or fragile in quality. When the conveying line fails or stops waiting, a large number of products are prone to accumulate. The traditional buffering conveying device usually needs components such as deceleration, grouping, merging and channeling, which has a complex structure and a large floor area. Meanwhile, a large number of products contacting and accumulating each other often increases the risk of uncontrollable quality in the production process, such as the contact between bottles causing bottle body indentation, damage or falling.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a related product handling scheme that can not only ensure the production automation of the production line, but also protect the appearance of the bottles in the conveying process from being damaged and prevent the bottles from falling. SUMMARY

[0004] 1. Technical problem to be solved by the present application

[0005] In view of the technical problem that the accumulation and contact caused by the conveying line failure in the conveying process of the existing bottle container easily lead to bottle body indentation, damage or bottle falling, the present application provides a non-contact conveying and buffering method. Through the cooperation of the translation mechanism and the lifting mechanism, the clamp is lowered and clamped on both sides of the side-by-side products, and the products are temporarily stored on the buffering table top, so as to achieve the purpose of temporarily storing the side-by-side packaging containers in a non-contact manner and transferring without damage.

[0006] 2. Technical scheme

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:

[0008] In the non-contact conveying and buffering method, the conveying belt arranges and conveys the products to the specified position of the feeding side of the buffering table top, then the translation mechanism drives the column clamp to the upper side of the side-by-side products, and then the lifting mechanism is lowered to clamp on both sides of the side-by-side products. The translation mechanism drives the lifting mechanism and the column clamp to translate, and the column clamp pushes the products to the middle area of the buffering table top for buffering. In the conveying and buffering process, the products do not contact each other, thereby achieving the effect of temporarily storing and conveying and transferring the side-by-side products on the buffering table top in a non-contact manner, reducing or even avoiding the indentation or damage of the products caused by the collision risk. Moreover, the protective pushing of the clamp also reduces or even avoids the possibility of the products falling during conveying and transferring.

[0009] Further non-contact conveying and buffering method, the conveying belt is a mesh chain conveying belt, the feeding side of the buffer table is an import mesh chain, and the discharging side is an export mesh chain; the column type clamp is two sets, which are a column type feeding clamp and a column type discharging clamp; the column type feeding clamp pushes the product at the feeding side to the buffer table, and the column type discharging clamp pushes the product of the buffer table to the export mesh chain at the discharging side, each performs its own function, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0010] Further non-contact conveying and buffering method, the column type clamp is a column type double clamp; the import mesh chain and the export mesh chain are all three columns arranged side by side, which are respectively an import A mesh chain, an import C mesh chain and an import B mesh chain of the import mesh chain, and an export A mesh chain, an export C mesh chain and an export B mesh chain of the export mesh chain from inside and outside the buffer table.

[0011] When the buffer table is fed, the product of the import B mesh chain is conveyed to the specified position of the feeding side of the buffer table and then pushed to the import C mesh chain for temporary storage, and after the product at the import A mesh chain is conveyed to the specified position of the feeding side, the translation mechanism translates the column type feeding clamp to the top of the two columns of products at the import A and C mesh chains, then the lifting mechanism is lowered by the lifting mechanism, and the column type feeding clamp is clamped on both sides of the two columns of products, the translation mechanism drives the lifting mechanism and the column type feeding clamp to translate, the column type feeding clamp pushes the product to the middle region of the buffer table, and at the same time, the column type discharging clamp moves the product in the middle region of the buffer table to the export mesh chain close to the discharging side of the buffer table in sequence until the buffer table reaches the set number of buffered products.

[0012] Further non-contact conveying and buffering method, when the buffer table is discharged, the column type discharging clamp pushes and moves the two columns of products close to the export mesh chain to the export A mesh chain and the export C mesh chain, the column type discharging clamp moves the product located in the export C mesh chain to the export B mesh chain after the column of products located in the export A mesh chain is conveyed out of the buffer table through the export A mesh chain, and the product located in the export C mesh chain is conveyed out of the buffer table through the export B mesh chain, and the above action is continuously performed, and then the conveying of the product along the export mesh chain is completed.

[0013] Further non-contact conveying and buffering method, when the buffer table is fed, the product of the import B mesh chain is conveyed to the specified position of the feeding side of the buffer table, and then the push plate pushes the product to the import C mesh chain to be flush and temporarily stored, so that the arrangement and combination of the product is adapted to the spacing between the clamping plates of the column type feeding clamp.

A non-contact transport buffering method, characterized by, The steps are: The conveying belt arranges and conveys the products to the designated position of the feeding side of the buffer table, the translation mechanism drives the columnar clamp to the upper side of the parallel products, then the lifting mechanism is lowered to clamp the two sides of the parallel products, the translation mechanism drives the lifting mechanism and the columnar clamp to translate, and the columnar clamp pushes the products to the middle area of the buffer table for buffering. During the conveying and buffering process, the products do not contact each other.

2. The caching method of claim 1, wherein: The conveying belt is a mesh chain conveying belt, the feeding side of the buffer table is an import mesh chain, and the discharging side is an export mesh chain; the columnar clamp is two sets, which are a columnar feeding clamp and a columnar discharging clamp; the columnar feeding clamp pushes the products at the feeding side to the buffer table, and the columnar discharging clamp pushes the products on the buffer table to the export mesh chain at the discharging side.

3. The caching method of claim 2, wherein: The columnar clamp is a columnar double clamp; the import mesh chain and the export mesh chain are both three columns in parallel, which are the entrance A mesh chain, the entrance C mesh chain and the entrance B mesh chain of the entrance mesh chain, and the exit A mesh chain, the exit C mesh chain and the exit B mesh chain of the exit mesh chain from inside and outside the buffer table; When the buffer table is fed, the products on the entrance B mesh chain are conveyed to the designated position of the feeding side of the buffer table, then pushed to the entrance C mesh chain for temporary storage, and after the products on the entrance A mesh chain are conveyed to the designated position of the feeding side, the translation mechanism translates the columnar feeding clamp to the upper side of the two columns of products at the entrance A and C mesh chains, then the lifting mechanism is lowered to clamp the two sides of the two columns of products, the translation mechanism drives the lifting mechanism and the columnar feeding clamp to translate, and the columnar feeding clamp pushes the products to the middle area of the buffer table for buffering, and at the same time, the columnar discharging clamp moves the products in the middle area of the buffer table to the exit mesh chain near the discharging side of the buffer table in sequence until the buffer table reaches the set number of buffered products.

4. The caching method of claim 3, wherein: When the buffer table is discharged, the columnar discharging clamp pushes and moves the two columns of products near the exit mesh chain to the exit A mesh chain and the exit C mesh chain, the column of products on the exit A mesh chain is conveyed out of the buffer table through the exit A mesh chain first, then the columnar discharging clamp moves the products on the exit C mesh chain to the exit B mesh chain, which are conveyed out of the buffer table through the exit B mesh chain, and the above actions are continuously performed to complete the conveying of the products along the exit mesh chain and convey the products to the subsequent process.

5. The caching method of claim 3, wherein: When the buffer table is fed, the products on the entrance B mesh chain are conveyed to the designated position of the feeding side of the buffer table, then the push plate pushes the products to the entrance C mesh chain to be flush and temporarily stored, so that the arrangement and combination thereof are adapted to the spacing between the clamping plates of the columnar feeding clamp.
