Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass bottle palletizing, and particularly relates to a device for transporting and stacking glass bottles. Background Art

[0002] When stacking glass bottles, the upper-layer glass bottles and the lower-layer glass bottles are separated by a partition board. When a manipulator clamps and places a glass bottle on the partition board above the lower-layer glass bottles, only a fixture is arranged on the outer side of the upper-layer glass bottles to be stacked to position the glass bottles so that the glass bottles are kept in a stable and correct position. However, there is no protection device for the lower-layer glass bottles. Due to the force or unstable posture exerted by the manipulator when clamping the glass bottles, the lower-layer glass bottles are subjected to uneven forces, resulting in shaking.

[0003] The shaking of the glass bottles may even cause the bottles to fall and break, damaging the products. The shaking may cause the position of the lower-layer bottles to shift, thus affecting the stability of the entire stack, increasing the risk of the bottles collapsing. If the stack is unstable, it may take extra time to readjust the positions of the bottles, thereby reducing the production efficiency. The unstable stack may cause the bottles to slip, posing a safety hazard to operators or other equipment. Frequent shaking may cause scratches or deformation on the surface of the bottles, affecting the appearance quality of the products. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a device for transporting and stacking glass bottles.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A device for transporting and stacking glass bottles includes a positioning device for ensuring that the glass bottles maintain the correct position during the stacking process. The positioning device includes an upper pneumatic fixture for positioning the upper-layer glass bottles and a lower pneumatic fixture for positioning the lower-layer glass bottles;

[0007] Both the upper pneumatic fixture and the lower pneumatic fixture include a rectangular frame, a clamping frame for clamping the glass bottles formed by four clamping plates located inside the rectangular frame, and a flat push cylinder fixedly arranged on the rectangular frame and pushing the four clamping plates to clamp the side wall surface of the glass bottles.

[0008] Preferably, the upper pneumatic fixture and the lower pneumatic fixture are connected by a connecting frame;

[0009] The top end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame on the upper pneumatic fixture, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame on the lower pneumatic fixture.

[0012] Preferably, the two rectangular frames on the upper pneumatic fixture and the lower pneumatic fixture are connected with a lifting bracket, and the lifting bracket is fixedly connected with the lifting block on the vertical linear module. The vertical linear module drives the lifting bracket to move in the vertical direction, so as to adapt to the stacking of glass bottles at different height positions.

[0013] Preferably, the stacked glass bottles are received and separated by partition plates.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of the present utility model are as follows: The device for transporting and stacking glass bottles stacks the glass bottles one by one onto the palletizing platform through a manipulator, and uses the upper pneumatic fixture and the lower pneumatic fixture in cooperation with the suction cup fixture to ensure the correct positioning and stable clamping of the glass bottles during the stacking process. When the glass bottles are stacked to the specified height, the positions of the upper pneumatic fixture and the lower pneumatic fixture are adjusted through the lifting bracket and the vertical linear module to ensure the correct spacing between the glass bottles.

Detailed implementation mode

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] The following is a further detailed description of this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings for a further detailed description of this application.

[0022] The embodiment of this application discloses a device for stacking glass bottles 1, including a positioning device 2 for ensuring the correct position of the glass bottles 1 during the stacking process. The positioning device 2 includes an upper pneumatic clamp 21 for positioning the upper glass bottles 1 and a lower pneumatic clamp 22 for positioning the lower glass bottles 1;

[0023] Both the upper pneumatic clamp 21 and the lower pneumatic clamp 22 include a rectangular frame 201, a clamping frame located inside the rectangular frame 201 and surrounded by four clamping plates 202 for clamping the glass bottle 1, and a flat push cylinder 203 fixedly arranged on the rectangular frame 201 and pushing the four clamping plates 202 to clamp the side wall surface of the glass bottle 1.

[0024] When the manipulator stacks the glass bottles 1 onto the stacking platform, the upper pneumatic clamp 21 and the lower pneumatic clamp 22 respectively ensure the correct positioning of the glass bottles 1 by means of the clamping frame and the flat push cylinder 203 for clamping the glass bottles 1, avoiding shaking and maintaining stability. This design can effectively prevent the glass bottles 1 from being subjected to uneven forces during the stacking process, thereby improving the stacking efficiency and stability.

[0025] When the glass bottles 1 are stacked on the palletizing platform, the conveyor line transports the empty glass bottles 1 to the stacking position, and a stacking manipulator or a stacking arm is used in cooperation with a suction cup clamp to clamp and stack the glass bottles 1 onto the palletizing platform. The glass bottles 1 at the bottom layer are kept in the correct position during the stacking process by the lower pneumatic clamp 22. Then, the upper glass bottles 1 are clamped and positioned by the upper pneumatic clamp 21 to maintain the correct position. During the process of stacking the upper glass bottles 1 onto the lower glass bottles 1, the lower pneumatic clamp 22 clamps and positions the lower glass bottles 1 to avoid shaking of the lower glass bottles 1 during the stacking of the glass bottles 1. Therefore, when the glass bottles 1 are stacked, the glass bottles 1 can be stably clamped, improving the stacking stability.

[0026] Through the design of the upper pneumatic fixture 21 and the lower pneumatic fixture 22, it is possible to ensure that the glass bottle 1 maintains the correct position during the stacking process, avoiding shaking and collapse, thereby improving the stability of the entire stack, reducing the risk of breakage and product damage caused by the shaking of the glass bottle 1, while also reducing the risk of collapse, reducing the extra time required for readjusting the position of the bottle, improving production efficiency. The stable stack can reduce the possibility of the bottle slipping, reducing the safety hazards to the operators and other equipment, and reducing the surface scratches or deformations that may be caused by frequent shaking, helping to maintain the appearance quality of the product. Through the stacking manipulator or stacking arm cooperating with the suction cup fixture, an automated stacking process is achieved, improving production efficiency and accuracy.

[0027] When stacking the glass bottles 1, a partition plate 6 is provided between the upper glass bottle 1 and the lower glass bottle 1. Thus, the stacked glass bottles 1 are received and separated by the partition plate 6. The upper pneumatic fixture 21 and the lower pneumatic fixture 22 are connected by a connecting frame 23; the top end of the connecting frame 23 is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 201 on the upper pneumatic fixture 21, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 201 on the lower pneumatic fixture 22. The connecting frame 23 provides sufficient clearance space for the partition plate 6 during the stacking process, facilitating the stacking operation.

[0028] A rubber pad 204 is adhesively bonded to the inner side surface of the clamping plate 202.

[0029] The rubber pad 204 can provide a certain buffering effect, reducing the pressure exerted by the clamping plate 202 on the side wall of the glass bottle 1 and avoiding situations that may cause breakage or damage to the glass bottle 1. The rubber material has a certain frictional force, which can increase the frictional force between the clamping plate 202 and the surface of the glass bottle 1, preventing the glass bottle 1 from sliding or shifting during the clamping process and ensuring the stability of the clamping. The softness of the rubber pad 204 can effectively protect the surface of the glass bottle 1 from being scratched or damaged, helping to maintain the appearance quality of the product. The elasticity of the rubber pad 204 can enable the clamping plate 202 to better fit the side wall of the glass bottle 1, improving the clamping effect and ensuring that the glass bottle 1 maintains the correct position during the stacking process.

[0030] On the four clamping plates 202 of the upper pneumatic fixture 21, inclined plates 205 are provided which are inclined upward and outward.

[0031] The design of the inclined plates 205 can provide protection for the glass bottle 1 during the clamping process and, in addition, play a limiting role to limit the suction cup fixture on the stacking manipulator or stacking arm.

[0032] Two rectangular frames 201 on the upper pneumatic fixture 21 and the lower pneumatic fixture 22 are connected to a lifting bracket 3, and the lifting bracket 3 is fixedly connected to a lifting block 4 on a vertical linear module 5.

[0033] The vertical linear module 5 provides a high degree of flexibility, allowing the lifting bracket 3 to move in the vertical direction, so as to be able to adapt to the stacking of glass bottles 1 at different height positions. Through the control of the vertical linear module 5, the position of the lifting bracket 3 can be accurately controlled to ensure that the upper pneumatic fixture 21 and the lower pneumatic fixture 22 can accurately position and clamp the glass bottle 1, improving the accuracy and stability of the stacking process.

[0034] Specifically, by using the positioning device 2 (including the upper pneumatic fixture 21 and the lower pneumatic fixture 22) and the cooperation of the vertical linear module 5 and the lifting bracket 3, this device can ensure that the glass bottle 1 maintains the correct position during the stacking process, avoiding shaking and collapse, and improving the stability of the entire stacking. At the same time, the designs such as the rubber pad 204 and the inclined plate 205 further enhance the clamping stability, reduce the risk of breakage of the glass bottle 1 and product damage, and improve the production efficiency and accuracy.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
