[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the article rotating device of the utility model is shown. The article rotating device of this embodiment includes a rotating mechanism 1, a pick-up and placement mechanism 2, a guide rail 3, a plurality of reciprocating blocks 4, and an adjusting mechanism 5. The pick-up and placement mechanisms 2 are evenly arranged on the rotating mechanism 1. The reciprocating blocks 4 are arranged on the rotating mechanism 1 and can move along the guide rail 3. The reciprocating blocks 4 are correspondingly connected with the pick-up and placement mechanisms 2 for driving the pick-up and placement mechanisms 2 to rotate. A docking section 31 is provided on the guide rail 3. The docking section 31 is provided with at least a first track 311 and a second track 312. The adjusting mechanism 5 is connected with the docking section 31 for switching the first track 311 or the second track 312 to dock with the guide rail 3, so that the running trajectory of the reciprocating blocks 4 is changed, thereby driving the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 to rotate.

[0039] When in use, the pick-and-place mechanism 2 grabs or absorbs the object and rotates with the rotating mechanism 1, and the reciprocating block 4 also rotates with the rotating mechanism 1 and moves along the guide rail 3. When the object needs to be rotated and reversed, the adjustment mechanism 5 makes the second track 312 of the docking section 31 dock with the guide rail 3 (such as Figure 1As shown), in this way, when the reciprocating block 4 passes through the second track 312, the running track of the reciprocating block 4 is changed, thereby driving the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 to drive the object to rotate and reverse. When the object does not need to rotate and reverse, the adjustment mechanism 5 makes the first track 311 of the docking section 31 dock with the guide rail 3. In this way, when the reciprocating block 4 passes through the first track 311, the running track of the reciprocating block 4 is not changed, thereby not driving the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 to drive the object to rotate and reverse. When the present article rotation device is used to flip the bottle body, the first track 311 and the second track 312 can be switched to dock with the guide rail 3, so that the guide rail 3 selectively docks with the first track 311 and the second track 312, meeting the selective flipping demand of the bottle body, allowing all bottles to pass through, facilitating continuous conveying of the bottle body, and improving the conveying efficiency of the bottle body. The present article rotation device meets the selective rotation demand of the object, allowing all objects to pass through, facilitating continuous conveying of the object, and improving the conveying efficiency of the object.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a roller 41 is provided on the reciprocating block 4, and an elastic reset member 43 is provided between the reciprocating block 4 and the rotating mechanism 1, and the reciprocating block 4 rolls with the guide rail 3 through the roller 41. Under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 43, the reciprocating block 4 rolls with the guide rail 3 through the roller 41, thereby reducing friction with the guide rail 3 and improving movement stability.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a rack 42 is provided on the reciprocating block 4, and a gear 21 is provided on the pick-and-place mechanism 2, and the rack 42 meshes with the gear 21. The reciprocating motion of the reciprocating block 4 causes the pick-and-place mechanism 2 to rotate through the transmission action of the rack 42 and the gear 21.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 1 includes a rotating disk 11 and a rotating drive assembly 12 for driving the rotating disk 11 to rotate, the pick-and-place mechanism 2 is arranged on the peripheral side of the rotating disk 11, and the reciprocating block 4 is arranged on the rotating disk 11. The rotating drive assembly 12 drives the rotating disk 11 to rotate, and the pick-and-place mechanism 2 and the reciprocating block 4 rotate with the rotating mechanism 1.

[0043] Further, in this embodiment, the rotating disk 11 is arranged horizontally, the reciprocating block 4 reciprocates in the vertical direction, and the guide rail 3 is fixed below the rotating disk 11. The rotating disk 11 is arranged horizontally, that is, the rotating axis of the rotating disk 11 is arranged vertically. Of course, the position and direction of the rotating disk 11 can be arranged as needed, as long as the rotating axis of the rotating disk 11 and the reciprocating direction of the reciprocating block 4 are parallel.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the article rotation device is used to flip the bottle body, the rotating mechanism 1 is a circular conveying mechanism, and a plurality of pick-up and placement mechanisms 2 are provided for picking up and placing the bottle body. The pick-up and placement mechanisms 2 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the circular conveying mechanism. The first track 311 is used to translate the bottle body, and the second track 312 is used to push the reciprocating moving block 4 to drive the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 to rotate to flip the bottle body.

[0045] Embodiment 2:

[0046] Figures 6 to 11 An embodiment of the article conveying system of the utility model is shown. The article conveying system of this embodiment includes an article handling device 6, a conveying channel 61, a vertical object channel 7, an article receiving and delivering mechanism 8 and the article rotating device of the first embodiment. One end of the conveying channel 61 is connected to the outlet of the article handling device 6, and the other end is connected to the upper inlet of the vertical object channel 7. The article receiving and delivering mechanism 8 is used to receive articles at the lower outlet of the vertical object channel 7 and convey the articles to the picking place of the picking and placing mechanism 2 of the article rotating device.

[0047] The production process of the article conveying system is as follows: the first step is that the articles sorted by the article management device 6 are conveyed along the conveying channel 61 and the vertical article channel 7 in sequence; the second step is that the article receiving and delivering mechanism 8 receives the articles under the vertical article channel 7; the third step is to judge the positive and negative state of the article. If the article is in an inverted state and the inverted article is inserted into the predetermined position on the article receiving and delivering mechanism 8, it is determined that the article needs to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 makes the second track 312 dock with the guide rail 3; otherwise, it is determined that the article does not need to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 makes the first track 311 dock with the guide rail 3; the fourth step is that the article receiving and delivering mechanism 8 pushes the article and delivers the article to the picking place of the pick-up and placement mechanism 2; the fifth step is that the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 takes away the article and moves with the rotating mechanism 1, and at the same time, the reciprocating block 4 corresponding to the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 moves along the guide rail 3; if the reciprocating block 4 passes through the first track 311, the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 does not rotate and flip the article, and if the reciprocating block 4 passes through the second track 312, the reciprocating block 4 drives the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 to rotate and flip the article; the sixth step. On the one hand, since it is difficult for the material handling device 6 and the conveying channel 61 to ensure that all items are output upright or inverted, the combination of the upright object channel 7 and the docking section 31 with selective docking can further ensure that all items are output upright or inverted; on the other hand, both upright and inverted items are transported through the guide rail 3, which is relatively divided into different paths and has a high conveying efficiency.

[0048] Furthermore, the article conveying system is used for conveying bottles, further ensuring that all bottles are output upright or inverted, making it unnecessary to convey upright and inverted bottles in separate paths, thereby improving conveying efficiency.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the object receiving and delivering mechanism 8 includes an object receiving seat 81 and a reciprocating driving mechanism 82, the reciprocating driving mechanism 82 is used to drive the object receiving seat 81 to reciprocate between the exit of the vertical passage 7 and the rotating mechanism 1, and the object receiving seat 81 is provided with a bearing surface 811 (such as Fig.11 As shown in the middle figure b), a groove 812 is provided on the bearing surface 811. The groove 812 is smaller than the bottom of the article and larger than the top of the article. The side of the groove 812 facing the direction of conveying is open to form an outlet 813. The outlet 813 facilitates the horizontal removal of articles. When in use, the bearing surface 811 is arranged horizontally. When an article (such as a bottle) falls upright onto the receiving seat 81, the bottom surface of the article will be supported on the bearing surface 811 because the groove 812 is smaller than the bottom of the article. When an article (such as a bottle) falls upside down onto the receiving seat 81, the top of the article may be inserted into the groove 812 (such as a bottle). Fig.11 ), or the top surface of the article may be supported on the bearing surface 811 (as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown in the middle figure c), in this way, the upright and inverted states of the object can be determined by detecting the height of the object. If the height of the object is lower than the normal height (the height of the object supported on the carrying surface 811), it can be determined that the object is inverted, otherwise, it may be upright or inverted. In short, by providing the groove 812 on the carrying surface 811, it is convenient to more accurately detect the upright and inverted states (positive and negative states) of the object.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first front and back detection mechanism 814 for detecting the front and back state of the object and an in-place detection mechanism 815 for detecting whether the inverted object is inserted into a predetermined position in the groove 812 are provided on the receiving seat 81, and a second front and back detection mechanism 9 for detecting the front and back state of the object and an inverted object collection mechanism are provided at a corresponding position of the docking section 31. The first front and back detection mechanism 814 and the in-place detection mechanism 815 are signal-connected to the adjustment mechanism 5, and the second front and back detection mechanism 9 is signal-connected to the picking and placing mechanism 2.

[0051] Determine the front and back state of the object: If the first front and back detection mechanism 814 detects that the object is in an inverted state, and the in-place detection mechanism 815 detects that the inverted object is inserted into the predetermined position in the groove 812, it is determined that the object needs to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 receives a signal to dock the second track 312 with the guide rail 3; otherwise, it is determined that the object does not need to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 receives a signal to dock the first track 311 with the guide rail 3. The second front and back detection mechanism 9 detects the state of the object passing through the docking section 31. If the object is in an inverted state, the corresponding pick-up and place mechanism 2 releases the object and collects the object to the inverted object collection mechanism, otherwise the object continues to be transported backward. In this way, through the cooperation of each detection mechanism and its adjustment mechanism 5, it is convenient to accurately control the lifting and lowering of the docking section 31, accurately switch the first track 311 and the second track 312 to dock with the guide rail 3, so that the objects that continue to be transported backward through the guide rail 3 are all in an upright state.

[0052] Furthermore, the second front and back detection mechanism 9 includes a detection component 91 for rejecting an inverted bottle and a detection component 12 for rejecting an inverted bottle, and both the detection component 91 for rejecting an inverted bottle and a detection component 12 for rejecting an inverted bottle are connected to the pick-and-place mechanism 2 by signals. In addition, in order to ensure that the bottles output by the bottle sorting are all with the bottle mouth facing upward, a detection component 91 for rejecting an inverted bottle and a detection component 12 for rejecting an inverted bottle are provided after the bottle is flipped over, and both the detection component 91 for rejecting an inverted bottle and a detection component 12 for rejecting an inverted bottle are connected to the pick-and-place mechanism 2 by signals. The detection component 91 for rejecting an inverted bottle detects the lower edge of the bottle body. If the bottle mouth faces downward (due to failure to flip over or wrong flipping, the lower edge will be lower than the bottom of the bottle), the detection switch lights up, the pick-and-place mechanism 2 is released, the bottle body falls, and the waste rejection is completed; the detection component 12 for rejecting an inverted bottle detects the edge of the bottle mouth. If the inverted bottle fails to fall completely when falling into the groove 812, it is mistakenly detected as a normal bottle. Fig.11 As shown in Figure c, at this time, the bottom of the bottle is facing upwards, the upper size is larger than the bottle mouth size of a normal bottle, the switch is lit, and the pick-and-place mechanism 2 is released to make the bottle fall and complete the rejection; thereby ensuring that all bottles output to subsequent workstations are in an upright state with the bottle mouth facing upwards.

[0053] Embodiment three:

[0054] A bottle conveying method, using the article conveying system of the second embodiment, comprises the following steps:

[0055] S1, conveying articles: the articles sorted by the article management device 6 are sequentially conveyed along the conveying channel 61 and the vertical article channel 7;

[0056] S2, receiving articles: the bearing surface 811 of the receiving seat 81 receives articles below the vertical passage 7;

[0057] S3, judging the front and back state of the object: if the first front and back detection mechanism 814 detects that the object is in an inverted state, and the in-place detection mechanism 815 detects that the inverted object is inserted into the predetermined position in the groove 812, it is determined that the object needs to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 receives a signal to make the second track 312 dock with the guide rail 3; otherwise, it is determined that the object does not need to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 receives a signal to make the first track 311 dock with the guide rail 3;

[0058] S4, pushing the item: the reciprocating drive mechanism 82 drives the receiving seat 81 to push the item and deliver the item to the picking position of the picking and placing mechanism 2;

[0059] S5, selectively flipping the item: the pick-and-place mechanism 2 takes the item and moves along the reciprocating drive mechanism 82, and at the same time, the reciprocating block 4 corresponding to the pick-and-place mechanism 2 moves along the guide rail 3; if the reciprocating block 4 passes through the first track 311, the pick-and-place mechanism 2 does not rotate and flip the item; if the reciprocating block 4 passes through the second track 312, the reciprocating block 4 drives the pick-and-place mechanism 2 to rotate and flip the item;

[0060] S6. Determine the front and back state of the object again: the second front and back detection mechanism 9 detects the state of the object passing through the docking section 31. If the object is in an inverted state, the corresponding pick-and-place mechanism 2 releases the object and collects the object to the inverted object collection mechanism. Otherwise, the object continues to be transported backwards.

[0061] The bottle conveying method, on the one hand, further ensures that all articles are output in an upright or inverted state through the combination of the upright object channel 7 and the selective docking of the docking section 31; on the other hand, both upright and inverted articles are conveyed through the guide rail 3, which is relatively divided into paths and has high conveying efficiency; thirdly, through the cooperation of each detection mechanism and its coordination with the adjustment mechanism 5, it is convenient to accurately control the lifting and lowering of the docking section 31, and accurately switch the first track 311 and the second track 312 to dock with the guide rail 3, so that the articles that continue to be conveyed backward through the guide rail 3 are all in an upright state.

[0062] Furthermore, the bottle conveying method is used for conveying bottles. After being sorted by the object handling device 6, the bottles are conveyed in sequence along the conveying channel 61 and the vertical object channel 7; the bearing surface 811 of the object receiving seat 81 receives the bottles below the vertical object channel 7; the front and back states of the bottles are judged. If the first front and back detection mechanism 814 detects that the bottle is in an inverted state, and the in-position detection mechanism 815 detects that the inverted bottle is inserted into a predetermined position in the groove 812, it is determined that the bottle needs to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 receives a signal to dock the second track 312 with the guide rail 3; otherwise, it is determined that the bottle does not need to be turned over, and the adjustment mechanism 5 receives a signal to dock the first track 311 with the guide rail 3; The double-drive mechanism 82 drives the receiving seat 81 to deliver the bottle, and delivers the bottle body to the bottle-taking position of the pick-up and placement mechanism 2; the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 takes the bottle body and moves with the rotating mechanism 1 to transport the bottle. At the same time, the reciprocating block 4 corresponding to the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 moves along the guide rail 3; if the reciprocating block 4 passes through the first track 311, the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 does not rotate to turn the bottle. If the reciprocating block 4 passes through the second track 312, the reciprocating block 4 drives the pick-up and placement mechanism 2 to rotate and turn the bottle; the second forward and reverse detection mechanism 9 detects the state of the bottle body passing through the docking section 31. If the bottle body is in an inverted state, the corresponding pick-up and placement mechanism 2 releases the bottle, so that the bottle body is collected to the inverted bottle collection mechanism, otherwise the bottle continues to be transported backward.
