Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyor lines, in particular to an automatic bottle unscrambling line. Background Art

[0002] Pesticides refer to chemically synthesized substances or mixtures of substances or their preparations derived from organisms or other natural substances used to prevent and control diseases, insects, weeds, rats and other harmful organisms that harm agriculture and forestry, and to purposefully regulate the growth of plants and insects. They are widely used in agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry production, environmental and household sanitation pest control and epidemic prevention, and industrial product mildew and moth prevention.

[0003] In the existing pesticide production, flat pot-shaped containers are often used to hold pesticides for packaging. However, in the process of loading pesticide barrels, in order to ensure that the pesticides are smoothly poured into the barrels, it is necessary to manually place the pesticide barrels one by one on the conveyor belt, which is labor-intensive and troublesome to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the utility model provides an automatic bottle unscrambling line, comprising

[0005] A robot grabbing conveyor that can drive the bottle body in linear motion;

[0006] A bottle stand conveyor, which is arranged on one side of the robot grabbing conveyor and can stand up the bottle body that has been laid down in a preset posture; and

[0007] A robot host is mounted on the robot grabbing conveyor and the bottle stand conveyor. The robot host includes a manipulator arranged above the robot grabbing conveyor and the bottle stand conveyor. The manipulator can identify and grab the bottle body on the robot grabbing conveyor to send the bottle body on the robot grabbing conveyor to the bottle stand conveyor, so that the bottle body maintains a preset posture at the receiving point of the bottle stand conveyor.

[0008] Furthermore, the upright bottle conveyor includes an upright bottle conveyor belt, which can drive the bottle body to move. Two groups of symmetrically arranged guardrails are installed on both sides of the upright bottle conveyor belt. As the bottle body moves, the guardrails can stand up the fallen bottle body.

[0009] Furthermore, the guardrail includes

[0010] An input section, which is arranged at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor belt, and the spacing between two groups of the input sections is smaller than the height of the bottle body and larger than the width of the bottle body;

[0011] An output section, which is arranged on the bottle-standing conveyor belt and is parallel to the input section, and the distance between the two groups of the output sections is smaller than the distance between the two groups of the input sections; and

[0012] A transition section is connected with the input section and the output section, and the distance between the two groups of transition sections narrows linearly from the input section to the output section.

[0013] The staff dumps the pesticide barrel onto the robot grabbing conveyor. When the pesticide barrel moves to the robot host position with the robot grabbing conveyor, the manipulator grabs the flattened pesticide barrel and places it on the bottle-standing conveyor, so that the pesticide barrel maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor. The preset posture is that the bottom of the pesticide barrel contacts the surface of the bottle-standing conveyor belt, and the barrel body leans against the input section of the guardrail. As the bottle-standing conveyor belt drives the pesticide barrel to move, when passing through the transition section, the spacing between the transition sections narrows linearly, which will cause the pesticide barrel assembly to stand up until it moves to the output section, and the pesticide barrel is completely stood up. Automatic bottle standing of pesticide barrels is achieved, reducing labor intensity.

[0014] Furthermore, the automatic bottle unscrambling line also includes a lifting and unscrambling machine, which can receive, lift and lay down the poured bottles. The lifting and unscrambling machine includes

[0015] A lifting conveyor, wherein one section of the lifting conveyor is horizontal and the other section is inclined, the lowest end of the inclined section is connected to the horizontal section, and a silo is provided on the outer side of the horizontal end; and

[0016] The slideway assembly is arranged as a whole with an inclination, and one end of the slideway assembly with a maximum height is connected with the maximum height end of the inclined section of the lifting conveyor, and the slideway assembly can lay down the bottle body.

[0017] Furthermore, the slide assembly includes

[0018] A slideway, which is arranged as a whole inclined, and one end of the slideway with the maximum height is connected to the maximum height end of the inclined section of the lifting conveyor; and

[0019] An electric roller is installed in the above-mentioned slideway, and a paddle is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the electric roller. The paddle is provided in an array, and the paddles in the array are arranged at equal angles along the circumference of the electric roller, and the paddles in the array are arranged tangentially to the electric roller.

[0020] The staff can pour the pesticide barrels into the silo part of the lifting conveyor. Under the action of the lifting conveyor, the pesticide barrels are lifted into the slide assembly one by one. Through the cooperation of the slide and the electric roller and the paddle formed by the paddle, the pesticide barrels are laid flat into the conveyor below and arranged neatly, avoiding the overlapping of the pesticide barrels or standing up with a certain probability, which makes it inconvenient for the robot to grab them.

[0021] Furthermore, the automatic bottle unscrambling line also includes a wide conveyor, which includes

[0022] A wide conveyor belt, the wide conveyor belt is connected to the minimum height end of the robot grabbing conveyor and the slideway; and

[0023] The baffle is arranged above the wide conveyor belt, and the distance between the bottom of the baffle and the upper surface of the wide conveyor belt is smaller than the height of the bottle body and larger than the width of the bottle body.

[0024] The wide conveyor belt receives the pesticide barrels sent out by the slide assembly and transports them to the robot grab conveyor. The baffle can block and flatten the bottles that occasionally stand upright on the conveyor line.

[0025] Furthermore, the automatic bottle unscrambling line further comprises a movable material receiving frame, which is arranged at the end of the robot grabbing conveying line. Through the arrangement of the movable material receiving frame, the material missed by the robot can be recovered.

[0026] Furthermore, the automatic bottle unscrambling line also includes a robot light source, which is mounted on the robot grabbing conveyor corresponding to the robot host. Through the illumination of the robot light source, the target can be illuminated, the brightness of the target can be improved, the imaging effect that is most conducive to image processing can be generated, the interference of ambient light can be resolved, and the stability of the image can be ensured.

[0027] Furthermore, the automatic bottle unscrambling line also includes a robot control cabinet for controlling the behavior of the manipulator.

[0028] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] The staff dumps the pesticide barrel onto the robot grabbing conveyor. When the pesticide barrel moves to the robot host position with the robot grabbing conveyor, the manipulator grabs the flattened pesticide barrel and places it on the bottle-standing conveyor, so that the pesticide barrel maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor. The preset posture is that the bottom of the pesticide barrel contacts the surface of the bottle-standing conveyor belt, and the barrel body leans against the input section of the guardrail. As the bottle-standing conveyor belt drives the pesticide barrel to move, when passing through the transition section, the spacing between the transition sections narrows linearly, which will cause the pesticide barrel assembly to stand up until it moves to the output section, and the pesticide barrel is completely stood up. Automatic bottle standing of pesticide barrels is achieved, reducing labor intensity.

[0030] The staff can pour the pesticide barrels into the silo part of the lifting conveyor. Under the action of the lifting conveyor, the pesticide barrels are lifted into the slide assembly one by one. Through the cooperation of the slide and the electric roller and the paddle formed by the paddle, the pesticide barrels are laid flat into the conveyor below and arranged neatly, avoiding the overlapping of the pesticide barrels or standing up with a certain probability, which makes it inconvenient for the robot to grab them.

[0031] The wide conveyor belt receives the pesticide barrels sent out by the slide assembly and transports them to the robot grab conveyor. The baffle can block and flatten the bottles that occasionally stand upright on the conveyor line.

[0032] The mobile material receiving frame can be used to recover materials that the robot missed. The robot light source can illuminate the target, improve the brightness of the target, generate the most conducive imaging effect for image processing, solve the interference of ambient light, and ensure the stability of the image.

[0041] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0042] In this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprises", or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0043] As described in the background art, during the loading process of pesticide barrels, in order to ensure that the pesticides are smoothly poured into the barrels, it is necessary to manually place the pesticide barrels one by one on the conveyor belt in an upright position, which is labor-intensive and troublesome to operate.

[0044] Embodiment 1:

[0045] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides an automatic bottle unscrambling line, such as Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the automatic bottle unscrambling line includes

[0046] A robot grabbing conveyor 300, which can drive the bottle body 900 to move linearly;

[0047] A bottle stand conveyor 600, which is disposed on one side of the robot grabbing conveyor 300, and can stand up the bottle body 900 that has been laid down in a preset posture; and

[0048] The robot host 500 is mounted on the robot grabbing conveyor 300 and the bottle stand conveyor 600. Figure 6 As shown, the robot host 500 includes a manipulator 510 arranged above the robot grabbing conveyor 300 and the upright bottle conveyor. The manipulator can identify and grab the bottle body on the robot grabbing conveyor 300 to send the bottle body on the robot grabbing conveyor 300 to the upright bottle conveyor 600, so that the bottle body maintains a preset posture at the receiving point of the upright bottle conveyor.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned bottle conveyor 600 includes a bottle conveyor belt 610, which can drive the bottle body to move. Two groups of symmetrically arranged guardrails 620 are installed on both sides of the bottle conveyor belt. As the bottle body moves, the guardrails 620 can stand up the fallen bottle body.

[0050] Among them, the guardrail 620 includes

[0051] An input section 621, wherein the input section 621 is arranged at the initial end of the bottle standing conveyor belt, and the distance between two groups of the input sections 621 is smaller than the height of the bottle body 900 and larger than the width of the bottle body;

[0052] An output section 622, which is disposed on the bottle-standing conveyor belt and is parallel to the input section 621, and the distance between two groups of the output sections 622 is smaller than the distance between two groups of the input sections 621; and

[0053] The transition section 623 is connected with the input section 621 and the output section 622, and the distance between the two groups of transition sections 623 narrows linearly from the input section to the output section.

[0054] In this embodiment, the staff can directly pour the pesticide barrel onto the robot grabbing conveyor. When the pesticide barrel moves to the position of the robot main body along with the robot grabbing conveyor, the manipulator grabs the flattened pesticide barrel and places it on the upright bottle conveyor, so that the pesticide barrel maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the upright bottle conveyor. The preset posture is that the bottom of the pesticide barrel is in contact with the surface of the upright bottle conveyor belt, and the barrel body leans against the input section 621 of the guardrail. As the upright bottle conveyor belt drives the pesticide barrel to move, when passing through the transition section 623, the spacing between the transition sections narrows linearly, which will cause the pesticide barrel assembly to stand up until it moves to the output section, and the pesticide barrel is completely stood up.

[0055] Through this embodiment, the automatic erection of the pesticide barrel is achieved, and the labor intensity is reduced.

[0056] It should be noted that the receiving point of the upright bottle conveyor is the position where the robot places the pesticide barrel after grabbing it, which is generally the initial end of the upright bottle conveyor belt.

[0057] In addition, in addition to the structure recorded in this embodiment to achieve automatic bottle standing of the pesticide barrel, the pesticide barrel can also be directly stood up and placed on the bottle standing conveyor through the action of the robot. At this time, the guardrail of the bottle standing conveyor may no longer be designed as the above structure. However, if the bottle standing is achieved through the action of the robot, the time spent in this step will increase due to the increase in the action steps of the robot, thereby reducing the efficiency of the robot's grasping and transportation. At the same time, due to the increase in the action of the robot, the number of algorithms that need to be run will also increase greatly, and the probability of errors will be greater.

[0058] Therefore, the robot arm recorded in this embodiment can directly place the flattened pesticide barrel onto the bottle-standing conveyor so that it maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor. This process is simpler, and the remaining bottle-standing work can be left to the bottle-standing conveyor belt and guardrail. This process is more efficient and has stronger continuity.

[0059] Embodiment 2:

[0060] If the pesticide barrel is directly dumped onto the robot grabbing conveyor, one or both of the following situations will occur: 1. The pesticide barrel stands upright; 2. The pesticide barrels overlap. The above two situations will cause the robot arm to miss or drop the pesticide barrel when grabbing it.

[0061] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment proposes improvements based on embodiment 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the automatic bottle unscrambling line in this embodiment also includes a lifting and unscrambling machine 100, which can receive, lift, and put down the poured bottles. Figure 2 As shown, the lifting and material handling machine includes

[0062] A lifting conveyor 120, wherein one section of the lifting conveyor 120 is horizontal and the other section is inclined, the lowest end of the inclined section is connected to the horizontal section, and a silo 110 is disposed around the outer side of the horizontal end; and

[0063] The slide assembly 130 is tilted as a whole, and one end of the slide assembly 130 with the maximum height is connected with the maximum height end of the tilted section of the lifting conveyor 120. The slide assembly can lay down the bottle body.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the slideway assembly 130 includes

[0065] The slideway 131 is arranged to be inclined as a whole, and one end of the slideway with the maximum height is connected to the maximum height end of the inclined section of the lifting conveyor 120; and

[0066] The electric roller 133 is installed in the above-mentioned slideway 131. A paddle 132 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the electric roller 133. The paddles are arranged in an array. The paddles in the array are arranged at equal angles along the circumference of the electric roller. The paddles in the array are arranged tangentially to the electric roller.

[0067] The staff can pour the pesticide barrels into the silo part of the lifting conveyor. Under the action of the lifting conveyor, the pesticide barrels are lifted into the slide assembly one by one. Through the cooperation of the slide and the electric roller and the paddle formed by the paddle, the pesticide barrels are laid flat into the conveyor below and arranged neatly, avoiding the overlapping of the pesticide barrels or standing up with a certain probability, which makes it inconvenient for the robot to grab them.

[0068] In addition, the automatic bottle unscrambling line in this embodiment also includes a wide conveyor 200, such as Figure 4 As shown, the wide conveyor 200 includes

[0069] A wide conveyor belt 210, the wide conveyor belt 210 is connected to the minimum height end of the robot grabbing conveyor and the slideway; and

[0070] The baffle 230 is disposed above the wide conveyor belt 210 , and the distance between the bottom of the baffle and the upper surface of the wide conveyor belt 210 is smaller than the height of the bottle body and larger than the width of the bottle body.

[0071] The baffle 230 is mounted above the wide conveyor belt 210 via a frame 220 .

[0072] The wide conveyor belt receives the pesticide barrels sent out by the slide assembly and transports them to the robot grab conveyor. The baffle can block and flatten the bottles that occasionally stand upright on the conveyor line.

[0073] In addition, the automatic bottle unscrambling line in this embodiment further includes a movable material receiving frame 700, which is arranged at the end of the robot grabbing conveyor line. Through the arrangement of the movable material receiving frame, the material missed by the robot can be recovered.

[0074] In this embodiment, the automatic bottle unscrambling line further includes a robot light source 400, which is mounted on the robot grabbing conveyor corresponding to the robot host. Through the illumination of the robot light source, the target can be illuminated, the brightness of the target can be improved, the imaging effect that is most conducive to image processing can be generated, the interference of ambient light can be resolved, and the stability of the image can be ensured.

[0075] In this embodiment, the automatic bottle unscrambling line also includes a robot control cabinet for controlling the behavior of the manipulator.
