Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water cup manufacturing and processing, and relates to a material unloading device for a spray coating production line for water cup production. Background Technology

[0002] After cleaning and spraying, water cups need to be baked at high temperatures in a kiln to cure and harden the coating, thus bonding it tightly to the cup body. In the spraying production line, the water cups are arranged in a row with a large gap to facilitate individual spraying by the spraying equipment. However, during kiln baking, the water cups need to be arranged in a dense matrix to bake a large number of cups at once, thereby saving energy consumption. In traditional water cup production lines, the step of removing the water cups from the spraying line and arranging them densely is still done manually, but manual labor is inefficient and not conducive to large-scale production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device to solve the unloading problem of the spraying production line. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a material unloading device for a spray coating production line in water cup manufacturing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a material unloading device for a spray painting production line for water cups, comprising a mounting frame, on which a variable-pitch conveying mechanism for grabbing water cups from the spray painting production line is fixedly mounted. The variable-pitch conveying mechanism includes two upper Y-axis linear motor modules, each upper Y-axis linear motor module including an upper Y-axis slide plate, the upper Y-axis slide plate moving in a direction perpendicular to the spray painting production line. An upper X-axis linear motor module is fixedly connected to the upper Y-axis slide plate, an upper Z-axis linear motor module is fixedly connected to the upper X-axis linear motor module, and a variable-pitch module is fixedly connected to the upper Z-axis linear motor module. The variable-pitch module includes several variable-pitch slide plates, each variable-pitch slide plate being fixedly connected to a rotary motor. The rotary motor includes a lower output end, the output end being fixedly connected to a pneumatic suction cup.

[0005] Preferably, two lower Y-axis linear motor modules are provided below the variable pitch conveying mechanism, each lower Y-axis linear motor module is fixedly connected to a lower Z-axis linear motor module, and a water cup flipping module is connected between the two lower Z-axis linear motor modules.

[0006] Preferably, the water cup flipping module includes two flipping motors, a support beam is connected between the two flipping motors, and several pneumatic grippers are fixedly connected to the support beam.

[0007] Preferably, the pneumatic gripper includes several positioning claws for insertion into the water cup.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-section of the variable pitch sliding plate is L-shaped.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention achieves fully automated operation of the entire process from cup picking, pitch adjustment, and cup flipping on the spraying production line to dot matrix placement on the baking production line through the coordinated cooperation of multi-axis linear motor module, pitch adjustment module, and flipping module. No manual intervention is required, which greatly improves the efficiency of production line operation and is suitable for large-scale production.

[0010] This invention relies on X / Y / Z axis linear motor modules to achieve precise positioning and movement in space, accurately aligning the water cup with the adsorption and clamping components. The variable pitch module can reduce the distance between the water cups equally. After flipping, they can be arranged in a dot matrix pattern on the baking line, perfectly connecting the spraying and baking processes and meeting the production line layout requirements.

[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0015] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0016] like Figure 1As shown, the unloading device for a spray painting production line for water cups includes a mounting frame 1. A variable-pitch conveying mechanism for gripping water cups from the spray painting production line is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. The variable-pitch conveying mechanism includes two upper Y-axis linear motor modules 2. Each upper Y-axis linear motor module 2 includes an upper Y-axis slide plate. The upper Y-axis slide plate moves in a direction perpendicular to the spray painting production line, i.e., closer to or further away from the spray painting production line. An upper X-axis linear motor module 3 is fixedly connected to the upper Y-axis slide plate. An upper Z-axis linear motor module 4 is fixedly connected to the upper X-axis linear motor module 3. A variable-pitch module 5 is fixedly connected to the upper Z-axis linear motor module 4. The variable-pitch module 5 includes several variable-pitch slide plates 51. A rotary motor 6 is fixedly connected to each variable-pitch slide plate 51. The rotary motor 6 includes a lower output end, and a pneumatic suction cup is fixedly connected to the output end. The pneumatic suction cup is used to adhere to the bottom of an inverted water cup from top to bottom. The linear motor module and the variable pitch module 5 are existing linear motion components, including servo motors, slide rails, slide plates, etc. The pneumatic suction cup is an electric vacuum suction cup. In addition, the present invention also includes several position sensors for identifying the position of the water cup.

[0017] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The upper Y-axis linear motor module 2 drives the pneumatic suction cup to move above the spraying production line. The upper X-axis linear motor module 3 drives the pneumatic suction cup to align with the water cup below. Then, the upper Z-axis linear motor module 4 drives the pneumatic suction cup to descend. The pneumatic suction cup presses against the bottom surface of the inverted water cup. After the pneumatic suction cup is evacuated, the upper Z-axis linear motor module 4 drives the water cup to rise. The variable pitch module 5 drives several variable pitch sliding plates 51 to move, so that the distance between several adjacent water cups is reduced equally. At the same time, the rotary motor 6 drives the water cup to rotate to determine the orientation of the water cup handle.

[0018] Furthermore, two lower Y-axis linear motor modules 7 are provided below the variable pitch conveying mechanism. Each lower Y-axis linear motor module 7 is fixedly connected to a lower Z-axis linear motor module 8. A water cup flipping module 9 is connected between the two lower Z-axis linear motor modules 8. The water cup flipping module 9 is used to flip the inverted water cup.

[0019] Furthermore, the water cup flipping module 9 includes two flipping motors, with a support beam 91 connected between the two flipping motors, and several pneumatic grippers 92 fixedly connected to the support beam 91.

[0020] Furthermore, the pneumatic gripper 92 includes several positioning claws for insertion into the water cup. The positioning claws move away from each other or move closer to each other simultaneously under the drive of the air source. When they move away from each other simultaneously, the positioning claws overlap with the inner wall of the water cup and generate friction, thus preventing the water cup from sliding up and down.

[0021] Furthermore, the cross-section of the variable pitch slide plate 51 is L-shaped.

[0022] Specifically, after the pneumatic suction cup picks up the water cup, the upper Y-axis linear motor module 2 moves the water cup from above the spraying production line to above the water cup flipping module 9. Then, the upper Z-axis linear motor module 4 lowers the water cup, and the upper X-axis linear motor module 3 aligns the water cup with the pneumatic gripper 92. Then, the upper Z-axis linear motor module 4 lowers the water cup again. Because the water cup is inverted, the pneumatic gripper 92 enters the water cup from below. Then, several positioning claws move away from each other under the pneumatic drive, and the pneumatic gripper 92 makes contact with the inner wall of the water cup. The friction force generates water cups, and the water cup flipping module 9 then drives the water cups to flip around the support beam 91. The lower X-axis linear motor module drives the water cups to the top of the baking production line, and then the lower Z-axis linear motor module 8 drives the water cups to fall onto the baking production line. Then the pneumatic gripper 92 retracts, and the friction between the pneumatic gripper 92 and the water cups disappears. The lower Z-axis linear motor module 8 and the lower X-axis linear motor module then drive the pneumatic gripper 92 to leave the water cups. By placing the water cups column by column on the baking production line, a dot matrix arrangement of water cups is formed.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
