Description

Technical Field

[0002] After the oral liquid is filled, the capping and labeling operations will be carried out, and then the production date needs to be marked on the blank space of the label. Since oral liquid is generally produced by fully automatic transmission, if the bottle body is transmitted vertically, since the oral liquid bottle is generally slender and easy to tip over, the bottle body needs to be supported by a baffle during transmission.

[0003] Since the support position will block part of the label area and affect the production date coding operation, a separate station is usually set up without a lateral baffle and is used to rotate the bottle body to find the blank area of ​​the label. However, since the bottle body needs to be rotated, there is still a risk of tipping, so a support mechanism needs to be installed at the upper end, and a transverse movement mechanism needs to be arranged to transfer the bottle body from the coding station back to the production line. The mechanism is complex and the cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0025] Camera 3 can be electrically connected to the background industrial computer and control cabinet. The industrial computer is integrated with a visual recognition system, which can accurately identify the label outline and position. The matching laser drive module is installed in the control cabinet.

[0026] The first sprocket 101 is provided in a group at each end, with two in each group distributed at both ends in the width direction of the arrangement and conveying mechanism 1, so the first chain 102 is also provided in two pieces, with the outer protrusions 104 on both sides and the roller 105 in the middle. There is a gap between adjacent rollers 105 to place the oral liquid bottles 9 with labels affixed thereto. The driving wheel 406 is powered to drive the roller 105 to rotate by friction, and the roller 105 drives the oral liquid bottle 9 to rotate by friction. The camera 3 observes the label position on the oral liquid bottle 9 in real time. When the label is turned toward the lifting cylinder 401, the lifting cylinder 401 focuses the laser to mark the production date on the label.

[0027] In the preferred embodiment, the bottle body rotation drive mechanism 4 includes a lifting cylinder 401, the upper lever end of the lifting cylinder 401 is connected to a base frame 402, a first guide rod 403 is provided on the base frame 402, a transverse frame 405 that can move laterally is sleeved on the first guide rod 403, first springs 404 are provided at both ends of the transverse frame 405, the first spring 404 rests on the side end of the base frame 402, and the upper end of the transverse frame 405 is rotatably connected to the driving wheel 406.

[0032] In the preferred embodiment, a cache conveying mechanism 5 is provided at the front end of the arrangement conveying mechanism 1, and the cache conveying mechanism 5 includes a second sprocket 501 arranged at both ends and a second chain 502 wrapped around the second sprocket 501, and the second chain 502 includes a plurality of second chain links 503 connected end to end, and a connecting transverse axis 504 is provided at the upper end of the second chain link 503, and a plurality of connecting plates 505 are also provided.

The stopper mechanism 6 descends to block the transmission of the oral liquid bottles 9, and as the buffer conveying mechanism 5 drives, the oral liquid bottles 9 gather at the stopper mechanism 6 without damaging the bottle body.

[0034] A sloped connecting plate 8 is provided between the arranging conveying mechanism 1 and the buffer conveying mechanism 5, and a powered roller 7 is installed at the tail end of the buffer conveying mechanism 5.

The second spring 606 is sleeved on the second guide rod 605, and the two ends are respectively against the forward horizontal plate 602 and the floating plate 603. The lower end of the second guide rod 605 is threadedly connected to the floating plate 603, and the upper end of the second guide rod 605 is provided with a large-diameter limit stopper, which is locked with screws to prevent the floating plate 603 from falling.

[0039] When the vertical baffle 604 is pressed down, if it presses the bottle body, the floating plate 603 will slightly compress the spring to reduce the pressure, and after the bottle passes, it will be inserted from the gap between the bottles to the upper end surface of the connecting piece 505.

[0040] The floating plate 603 can be widened and a plurality of vertical baffles 604 can be installed to strengthen the structural strength of the floating plate 603 and disperse the stopping pressure to prevent the stopping mechanism 6 from being bent and damaged.

[0042] The second lifting module 601 adopts the same screw-guide rail module as the first lifting module 202, but is driven by a servo motor, so that the descending position can be finely adjusted.

[0043] The lead screw 207 can be a trapezoidal lead screw, and the height of the laser emitting head 201 can be adjusted by rotating the hand wheel 204 to help quickly adjust the laser focus. The rotation of the lead screw 207 can be locked by rotating the locking knob 205.

[0044] In the preferred embodiment, a groove structure is provided at one end of the front arm 203, and a cross screw 303 is also provided. The cross screw 303 passes through the groove structure of the front arm 203 and the swing plate 301. Threaded butterfly nuts 304 are provided at both ends of the cross screw 303. A friction plate 302 is provided between the swing plate 301 and the front arm 203, and a plurality of friction grooves 305 are provided on the side of the friction plate 302.

[0045] A cross screw 303 is used to cross the swing plate 301 and the front arm 203 to form a hinge. The angle of the swing plate 301 is adjusted so that the camera 3 is aimed at the oral liquid bottle 9. After the butterfly nut 304 is tightened, it squeezes the side wall of the groove structure of the front arm 203 and the swing plate 301 and the friction plate 302 in the groove. Since the friction plate 302 is provided with a friction groove 305, there is a large friction force between the swing plate 301 and the front arm 203 and the swing plate 301 is locked.
