Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyor lines, in particular to a material sorting 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 a material sorting line, including a material sorting line, including

[0005] A grabbing conveyor line, which can drive the bottle body to move linearly, and a robot light source is provided at the feeding end of the grabbing conveyor line;

[0006] A bottle-standing conveyor line, which is arranged on one side of the grabbing conveyor line and can stand up bottles that have been laid down in a preset posture; and

[0007] A robot host, which is mounted above the grabbing conveyor line and the bottle-standing conveyor line, and includes a manipulator disposed above the grabbing conveyor line and the bottle-standing conveyor line, and the manipulator identifies and grabs the bottles on the grabbing conveyor line to deliver the bottles on the grabbing conveyor line to the bottle-standing conveyor line;

[0008] The bottle-standing conveyor line comprises a bottle-standing conveyor belt, which can drive the bottle body to move. Two sets of symmetrically arranged guardrails are installed on both sides of the bottle-standing conveyor belt. With the movement of the bottle body, the guardrails can stand up the fallen bottle body.

[0009] 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] When the bottle moves to the robot host position along the grabbing conveyor line, the manipulator grabs the flattened bottle and places it on the bottle-standing conveyor line, so that the bottle maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor line, in which the bottom of the bottle contacts the surface of the bottle-standing conveyor belt, and the barrel leans against the input section of the guardrail. As the bottle-standing conveyor belt drives the bottle to move, when it passes through the transition section, the spacing between the transition sections narrows linearly, which will cause the bottle assembly to stand up until it moves to the output section, when the bottle is completely stood up. Automatic bottle standing is achieved, reducing labor intensity.

[0014] Furthermore, the material sorting line also includes a bottle discharging conveying line, which is arranged on one side of the bottle standing conveying line in parallel with the bottle standing conveying line, and the bottle discharging conveying line is connected with the bottle standing conveying line;

[0015] The guardrail also includes

[0016] A bottle discharging section, wherein the bottle discharging section is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottle discharging conveying line;

[0017] A connecting section is connected with the output section.

[0018] After the bottle on the bottle standing conveyor line is stood up, it continues to move along the bottle standing conveyor line. When it reaches the connecting section, under the guidance of the connecting section, the bottle gradually moves to the bottle output conveyor line, and finally the bottle output conveyor line outputs the bottle to the next process.

[0019] Furthermore, the material handling line also includes an elevator, which can receive, lift and put down the poured bottles. The elevator includes

[0020] 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 arranged around the outer side of the horizontal end;

[0021] A slideway, which is arranged as a whole inclined, and one end of the slideway with the maximum height is connected with the maximum height end of the inclined section of the lifting conveyor;

[0022] 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.

[0023] The staff can dump the bottles into the silo part of the lifting conveyor. Under the action of the lifting conveyor, the bottles are lifted into the slide assembly one by one. The slide, the electric roller and the paddle form a paddle to make the bottles lie flat and enter the conveyor below and arrange them neatly, avoiding the bottles from overlapping or standing up with a certain probability, which makes it inconvenient for the robot to grab them.

[0024] Furthermore, the material sorting line also includes a layered conveying line, through which the bottles are dispersed so that a distance is maintained between the bottles.

[0025] The empty bottles are gradually dispersed through the layer conveyor, and the differential movement through the layer conveyor line keeps a distance between the bottles.

[0026] Furthermore, the material sorting line also includes a material return line, which is connected to the above-mentioned grabbing conveying line and the elevator.

[0027] Bottles that are not successfully grabbed will be recycled into the silo through the return line.

[0028] Furthermore, the material sorting line also includes a robot control cabinet for controlling the behavior of the manipulator.

[0029] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0030] The staff dumps the bottle onto the grabbing conveyor line. When the bottle moves to the robot mainframe position along the grabbing conveyor line, the manipulator grabs the flattened bottle and places it on the bottle-standing conveyor line, so that the bottle maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor line. The preset posture is that the bottom of the bottle contacts the surface of the bottle-standing conveyor belt, and the barrel leans against the input section of the guardrail. As the bottle-standing conveyor belt drives the bottle to move, when passing through the transition section, the spacing between the transition sections narrows linearly, which will cause the bottle assembly to stand up until it moves to the output section, and the bottle is completely stood up. Automatic bottle standing is achieved, reducing labor intensity.

[0031] The staff can dump the bottles into the silo part of the lifting conveyor. Under the action of the lifting conveyor, the bottles are lifted into the slide assembly one by one. The slide, the electric roller and the paddle form a paddle to make the bottles lie flat and enter the conveyor below and arrange them neatly, avoiding the bottles from overlapping or standing up with a certain probability, which makes it inconvenient for the robot to grab them.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] As described in the background art, during the loading process of the pesticide barrel, in order to ensure that the pesticide is smoothly poured into the barrel, it is necessary to manually place the bottles one by one on the conveyor belt in an upright position, which is labor-intensive and troublesome to operate.

[0051] Embodiment 1:

[0052] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a material processing line, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material processing line includes

[0053] A grabbing conveyor line 100, which can drive the bottle body to move linearly, and a robot light source 300 is provided at the feeding end of the grabbing conveyor line 100;

[0054] A bottle-standing conveyor line 500, which is disposed on one side of the grabbing conveyor line and can stand up bottles that have been laid down in a preset posture; and

[0055] The robot host 400 is set up above the grabbing conveyor line and the bottle standing conveyor line. Figure 2 As shown, the robot host includes a manipulator arranged above the grabbing conveyor line and the bottle-standing conveyor line, through which the manipulator identifies and grabs the bottles on the grabbing conveyor line to send the bottles on the grabbing conveyor line to the bottle-standing conveyor line;

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottle-standing conveyor line includes a bottle-standing conveyor belt 510, which can drive the bottle body to move. Two sets of symmetrically arranged guardrails are installed on both sides of the bottle-standing conveyor belt. With the movement of the bottle body 800, the guardrails can stand up the fallen bottle body;

[0057] The guardrail includes

[0058] An input section 521, 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;

[0059] An output section 523, 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

[0060] The transition section 522 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.

[0061] like Figure 4When the bottle body shown moves to the position of the robot main unit along the grabbing conveyor line, the manipulator grabs the flattened bottle body and places it on the bottle-standing conveyor line so that the bottle body maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor line. The preset posture is that the bottom of the bottle body is in contact with 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 bottle body to move, when passing through the transition section, the spacing between the transition sections narrows linearly, which will cause the bottle body assembly to stand up until it moves to the output section, and the bottle body is completely stood up.

[0062] Through this embodiment, the automatic standing of the bottle body is achieved, and the labor intensity is reduced.

[0063] It should be noted that the receiving point of the upright bottle conveyor line is the position where the robot places the bottle after grabbing it, which is generally the initial end of the upright bottle conveyor belt.

[0064] In addition, in addition to the structure described in this embodiment to realize automatic bottle standing, the bottle body can also be directly stood up and placed on the bottle standing conveyor line through the action of the robot. At this time, the guardrail of the bottle standing conveyor line may no longer be designed as the above structure. However, if the bottle standing is realized by the action of the robot, the time spent in this step increases 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 algorithm that needs to be run will also increase greatly, and the probability of errors will be greater.

[0065] Therefore, the robot arm recorded in this embodiment can place the flattened bottle directly on the bottle-standing conveyor line so that it maintains a preset posture at the initial end of the bottle-standing conveyor line. 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.

[0066] In this embodiment, the robot host includes multiple groups of manipulators, preferably three, and the three manipulators work in an orderly manner to ensure that the sorted empty bottles are grasped as much as possible, thereby reducing the loss of bottles.

[0067] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned bottle conveyor belt can be selected as a conveyor with partitions, and the bottles are driven to move by the contact between the partitions and the sides of the bottles, thereby avoiding slipping between the bottles and the conveyor belt, which would cause changes in the spacing between the bottles.

[0068] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the material sorting line in this embodiment may also include a bottle discharging conveying line 600, which is arranged parallel to the bottle standing conveying line on one side of the bottle standing conveying line, and the bottle discharging conveying line is connected with the bottle standing conveying line;

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the guardrail may also include

[0070] A bottle discharging section 525, wherein the bottle discharging section 525 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottle discharging conveying line;

[0071] A connecting section 524 is connected to the output section 523 .

[0072] After the bottle on the bottle standing conveyor line is stood up, it continues to move along the bottle standing conveyor line. When it reaches the connecting section, under the guidance of the connecting section, the bottle gradually moves to the bottle output conveyor line, and finally the bottle output conveyor line outputs the bottle to the next process.

[0073] Embodiment 2:

[0074] If the bottles are dumped directly onto the grabbing conveyor line, one or both of the following situations will occur: 1. The bottles stand upright; 2. The bottles overlap. The above two situations will cause the robot to miss or drop the bottles when grabbing them.

[0075] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment proposes improvements based on embodiment 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material handling line in this embodiment also includes an elevator 900, which can receive, lift, and put down the poured bottles. Figure 5 As shown, the lifting machine includes

[0076] A lifting conveyor 920, 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 910 is arranged around the outer side of the horizontal end;

[0077] A slide 930, which is arranged to be inclined as a whole, and whose maximum height end is connected to the maximum height end of the inclined section of the lifting conveyor;

[0078] An electric roller 940 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.

[0079] The staff can dump the bottles into the silo part of the lifting conveyor. Under the action of the lifting conveyor, the bottles are lifted into the slide assembly one by one. The slide, the electric roller and the paddle form a paddle to make the bottles lie flat and enter the conveyor below and arrange them neatly, avoiding the bottles from overlapping or standing up with a certain probability, which makes it inconvenient for the robot to grab them.

[0080] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned elevators can be provided in multiple groups, and the bottles are laid down and sent out by the multiple groups of elevators.

[0081] In this embodiment, the material sorting line may further include a layered conveying line 1100, through which the bottles are dispersed so that a distance is maintained between the bottles.

[0082] The empty bottles are gradually dispersed through the layer conveyor, and the differential movement through the layer conveyor line keeps a distance between the bottles.

[0083] It should be noted that the hierarchical conveyor line is formed by connecting multiple groups of differentially moving conveyors. The conveyor connected to the elevator is provided with a partition that can separate the bottle bodies. The partition can be set parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor. In addition, a baffle perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor can be set above the conveyor. The baffle has a preset height from the mesh belt surface of the conveyor, and the preset height is greater than the width of one bottle body and less than the width of two bottles.

[0084] In this embodiment, the material sorting line may further include a return line 1000, which is connected to the grabbing conveying line and the elevator. Bottles that are not successfully grabbed will enter the silo through the return line and circulate again.

[0085] In this embodiment, the material sorting line may further include a robot control cabinet 200 for controlling the behavior of the robot.

[0086] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
