Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of filling machines, and particularly to a head-filling tube sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Daily chemical product packaging tubes, or simply daily chemical tubes, are flexible containers widely used in skin care products, toothpaste, ointments, and other fields. They are mostly made of plastic, aluminum, or composite materials. Their characteristics include lightweight texture, good sealing performance, effective protection of contents from contamination and oxidation, and easy precise control of dosage. The surface of the tube is usually decorated with exquisite printing and design, serving both brand display and usage instructions. The compression force is uniform, providing a smooth user experience, and the tail can be curled to achieve high utilization and reduce waste.

[0003] Currently, before filling daily chemical tubes, they usually need to be sorted and arranged to ensure the continuity and accuracy of the filling process. However, existing technologies mostly rely on manual operation, which is not only slow and labor-intensive, but also prone to poor sorting consistency due to fatigue or distraction, thus becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of production efficiency. This manual sorting process seriously affects the operating rhythm of subsequent automated filling equipment, resulting in a decrease in overall production efficiency and an increase in costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a head-filling tube sorting machine, which solves the problem that in the prior art, it is usually necessary to manually arrange and sort the daily chemical tubes before filling, which affects efficiency and increases costs.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0006] A head-filling tube sorting machine, characterized in that it includes: an operating table;

[0007] The operating platform is equipped with a material box mechanism, which includes a storage box. A second fixed frame is installed inside the storage box. A conveyor belt is installed on the second fixed frame. A baffle is installed on the second fixed frame. A first motor is installed at the rear end of the baffle. One end of the first motor passes through the baffle. A first synchronous pulley is installed on the second fixed frame and the first motor, respectively.

[0008] A pipe-laying mechanism is installed on the operating table. The pipe-laying mechanism includes a frame, on which a pair of brackets are installed. A pair of third fixed frames are installed on the operating table. A connecting plate is installed between the brackets and the third fixed frames. A conveying shaft is rotatably installed between the brackets and the third fixed frames. One end of the conveying shaft passes through the bracket. A second motor is installed on the bracket. A second synchronous pulley is installed on the second motor and the conveying shaft, respectively. A second synchronous belt is sleeved between the pair of second synchronous pulleys.

[0009] The operating table is equipped with a robotic arm mechanism, which includes a fourth fixed frame, a rotating arm on the fourth fixed frame, a pair of second cylinders on the rotating arm, and a mechanical clamp under the second cylinders.

[0010] A controller is installed on the operating console.

[0011] The storage bin facilitates the storage of daily chemical tubes, and the second fixed frame facilitates installation inside the storage bin. This allows the daily chemical tubes to be transported via a conveyor belt during transport. The first motor facilitates the rotation of the first synchronous pulley on it, and the force transmission via the first synchronous belt facilitates the uniform transport of the second fixed frame.

[0012] The frame design provides support and facilitates the mounting of brackets. The brackets also ensure stable installation of the second motor. The third fixing bracket and connecting plate provide limiting and facilitate the rotation of the conveyor shaft. This allows the conveyor shaft to transport the daily chemical tubes falling from the guide chamber. The second motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, which drives the rotation of the second synchronous pulley. This facilitates the transmission of rotational power via the second synchronous belt, which in turn drives the pair of conveyor shafts to rotate.

[0013] The fourth fixed frame provides support, which facilitates the installation of the rotating arm. The rotating arm also facilitates the stable installation of the second cylinder, thus enabling the mechanical clamp to move up and down.

[0014] As an improvement, a first synchronous belt is installed between a pair of first synchronous pulleys, a first fixed frame is installed on one side of the storage box, a guide chamber is installed on the first fixed frame, and a first brush head is installed in the guide chamber.

[0015] The guide compartment facilitates the guidance of the cosmetic tubes transported by the second fixed frame. The tubes are then guided into the guide frame, and the tube arrangement mechanism further integrates them. The first brush head prevents any cosmetic tubes from being missed during the transport process by the second fixed frame, while also facilitating the normal rotation of the second fixed frame without affecting its normal transport function.

[0016] As an improvement, a guide frame is fixedly installed on a pair of connecting plates, the guide chamber matches the guide frame, and a pair of second brush heads are slidably installed inside the guide frame.

[0017] The guide frame facilitates guidance. Since the four sides of the guide frame are inclined, the daily chemical tubes that fall into the guide frame can slide down the ramp between a pair of conveyor shafts. The second brush head is designed to be driven by the first cylinder to slide, so the second brush head can sort and arrange the daily chemical tubes.

[0018] As an improvement, a pair of first cylinders are fixedly installed inside the guide frame, with one end of the first cylinder connected to the second brush head.

[0019] The first cylinder is designed to contract and extend, facilitating control of the sliding action of the second brush head.

[0020] As an improvement, a stop is fixedly installed on the operating platform, and the stop is located between a pair of conveyor shafts.

[0021] The baffle is designed to facilitate the gripping of the cosmetic tube by the robotic arm when the two conveyor shafts are conveying the cosmetic tube.

[0022] As an improvement, a third motor is fixedly installed on the fourth fixed frame, and a central control rotating platform is installed between the fourth fixed frame and the rotating arm, with the third motor connected to the central control rotating platform.

[0023] The third motor facilitates the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy, thus enabling the central control rotating platform to rotate. The rotation of the central control rotating platform facilitates the control of the rotating arm to achieve a 180° rotation, which is beneficial for the cooperation of the second cylinder and the mechanical clamp to grip the daily chemical tube.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by setting up the corresponding mechanism, the daily chemical tubes can be sorted and arranged quickly and accurately in an automated manner, which significantly improves the sorting efficiency and consistency, effectively reduces the intensity of manual labor and operational errors, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of subsequent filling processes, enabling the automated filling equipment to operate efficiently, and ultimately greatly improving the overall production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0030] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a head-filling tube sorting machine is characterized by comprising: an operating platform 1; a material bin mechanism 2 mounted on the operating platform 1, the material bin mechanism 2 including a storage bin 201, a second fixed frame 202 installed inside the storage bin 201, a conveyor belt 203 mounted on the second fixed frame 202, a baffle mounted on the second fixed frame 202, a first motor 204 mounted at the rear end of the baffle, one end of the first motor 204 penetrating through the baffle, and first synchronous pulleys 205 respectively mounted on the second fixed frame 202 and the first motor 204; a tube-laying mechanism 3 mounted on the operating platform 1, the tube-laying mechanism 3 including a frame 301, a pair of supports mounted on the frame 301, and a pair of third fixed frames 302 mounted on the operating platform 1. A connecting plate 303 is installed between the bracket and the third fixed frame 302. A conveying shaft 304 is rotatably installed between the bracket and the third fixed frame 302. One end of the conveying shaft 304 passes through the bracket. A second motor 305 is installed on the bracket. A second synchronous pulley 306 is installed on the second motor 305 and the conveying shaft 304 respectively. A second synchronous belt 307 is sleeved between a pair of second synchronous pulleys 306. A robotic arm mechanism 4 is installed on the operating table 1. The robotic arm mechanism 4 includes a fourth fixed frame 401. A rotating arm 402 is provided on the fourth fixed frame 401. A pair of second cylinders 403 are installed on the rotating arm 402. A mechanical clamp 404 is installed under the second cylinders 403. A controller 5 is installed on the operating table 1.

[0032] The storage box 201 facilitates the storage of daily chemical tubes, and the second fixing frame 202 is installed inside the storage box 201. During transportation, the daily chemical tubes are transported by the conveyor belt 203. The first motor 204 drives the rotation of the first synchronous pulley 205 on it. Therefore, the force transmission through the first synchronous belt 206 facilitates the uniform transportation of the second fixing frame 202. The frame 301 provides support and facilitates the mounting of brackets. The brackets also ensure stable installation of the second motor 305. The third fixing frame 302 and connecting plate 303 provide limiting and facilitate the rotation of the conveyor shaft 304, allowing it to transport the cosmetic tubes falling from the guide chamber 207. The second motor 305 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, driving the rotation of the second synchronous pulley 306. This facilitates the transmission of rotational power via the second synchronous belt 307, which in turn drives the pair of conveyor shafts 304. The fourth fixing frame 401 provides support and allows for the mounting of the rotating arm 402. The rotating arm 402 facilitates the stable installation of the second cylinder 403, thus controlling the vertical movement of the mechanical clamp 404.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a first synchronous belt 206 is installed between a pair of first synchronous pulleys 205. A first fixed frame is installed on one side of the storage box 201, and a guide chamber 207 is installed on the first fixed frame. A first brush head 208 is installed inside the guide chamber 207. The guide chamber 207 serves as a guide, allowing the daily chemical tubes conveyed by the second fixed frame 202 to be guided into the guide frame 308. This facilitates further assembly of the daily chemical tubes by the tube arrangement mechanism 3. The first brush head 208 prevents any daily chemical tubes from being missed during the conveying process of the second fixed frame 202, while also facilitating the normal rotation of the second fixed frame 202 without affecting its normal conveying function.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a guide frame 308 is fixedly installed on a pair of connecting plates 303. The guide chamber 207 matches the guide frame 308, and a pair of second brush heads 309 are slidably installed inside the guide frame 308. The guide frame 308 facilitates guidance. Since the four sides of the guide frame 308 are inclined, the daily chemical tubes that fall into the guide frame 308 can slide down the ramp between a pair of conveyor shafts 304. The second brush heads 309 are slidable by the control of the first cylinder 310, thus the second brush heads 309 can arrange and organize the daily chemical tubes. A pair of first cylinders 310 are fixedly installed inside the guide frame 308, and one end of the first cylinder 310 is connected to the second brush head 309. The first cylinders 310 facilitate contraction and extension, making it easy to control the sliding action of the second brush head 309. A stop frame 311 is fixedly installed on the operating table 1, and the stop frame 311 is located between the pair of conveyor shafts 304. The baffle 311 facilitates the use of the robotic arm 4 to grip the chemical tube when the pair of conveyor shafts 304 are conveying the chemical tube.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a third motor 405 is fixedly mounted on the fourth fixed frame 401, and a central control rotating platform 406 is installed between the fourth fixed frame 401 and the rotating arm 402. The third motor 405 is connected to the central control rotating platform 406. The third motor 405 facilitates the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy, thus enabling the rotation of the central control rotating platform 406. The rotation of the central control rotating platform 406 facilitates the control of the rotating arm 402 to achieve a 180° rotation, which is beneficial for the cooperation of the second cylinder 403 and the mechanical clamp 404 to clamp the cosmetic tube.

[0036] During use, the cosmetic tube is poured into the storage bin 201. Then, the controller 5 starts the operation of the bin mechanism 2, the tube feeding mechanism 3, and the robotic arm mechanism 4. When the first motor 204 starts to rotate, it will convey force through the first synchronous belt 206, so that the second fixed frame 202 will start to convey. During the conveying process, the conveyor belt 203 will lift and convey the cosmetic tube in the storage bin 201, so that the cosmetic tube will be conveyed to the guide chamber 207. Through the slope of the guide chamber 207, it will naturally fall into the guide frame 308. The first cylinder 310 continuously drives the sliding of the second brush head 309. The fallen cosmetic tubes are then arranged between a pair of conveyor shafts 304. When the pair of conveyor shafts 304 are driven by the second motor 305 and the second synchronous belt 307, they will rotate, thus moving the cosmetic tubes. When the cosmetic tubes move to one end of the conveyor shafts 304, they will be blocked by the baffle 311. At this time, the third motor 405 drives the central control rotating platform 406 to rotate, and the mechanical clamp 404 can be controlled by the continuous extension of the second cylinder 403 to clamp the cosmetic tubes between the pair of conveyor shafts 304 in an alternating manner, so that the mechanical clamp 404 can easily clamp the cosmetic tubes onto other equipment.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
