Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container positioning devices, in particular to a container positioning device. Background Art

[0002] During the production and processing of instant noodle barrels, the brand logo of the instant noodle barrels is usually oriented in the same direction, so that when the top paper cover of the instant noodle barrel is processed later, the torn end of the paper cover is aligned with the brand logo of the instant noodle barrel. Therefore, it is necessary to position and adjust the instant noodle barrels when they are conveyed, but the existing instant noodle barrel conveying method is to place the instant noodle barrels in the placement holes of the conveyor and convey them row by row. When positioning and adjusting, the instant noodle barrels are directly rotated in the placement holes to position them. In this method, when the instant noodle barrels rotate, they rub against the inner wall of the placement hole, causing the surface brand logo of the instant noodle barrels to be damaged. Therefore, a container positioning device is designed for this purpose. Summary of the invention

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0032] First, combine Figures 1 to 5 A container positioning device according to an embodiment of the utility model is described, which is used for positioning a container (taking an instant noodle bucket 5 as an example) during processing, and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a container positioning device according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a lifting module, a plurality of rotating adsorption modules and a plurality of reading modules.

[0034] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lifting module provides a driving force for lifting. The lifting module includes: a pair of mounting plates 11, a pair of guide rods 12, a pair of linear bearings 13, a lifting plate 14 and a driving unit. The pair of mounting plates 11 are arranged opposite to each other; the pair of guide rods 12 are respectively arranged on the non-opposite side of the pair of mounting plates 11; the pair of linear bearings 13 are respectively sleeved on the pair of guide rods 12; the two ends of the lifting plate 14 are respectively connected to the pair of linear bearings 13, and the lifting plate 14 is connected to multiple rotating adsorption modules and multiple reading modules; the driving unit is connected to the pair of linear bearings 13, and drives the pair of linear bearings 13 to move up and down on the pair of guide rods 12. The driving unit drives the pair of linear bearings 13 to move up and down on the moving guide rods 12, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the lifting plate 14, and further drives the lifting and lowering of multiple rotating adsorption modules, and lifts the containers on each row of placement holes 42 on the conveyor 41, so that the containers do not fit the inner wall of the placement holes 42.

[0035] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the driving unit includes: a rotating shaft 151, a pair of first connecting rods 152, a pair of second connecting rods 153, a pair of connecting seats 154 and a driver 155. The rotating shaft 151 is rotatably connected between a pair of mounting plates 11, and both ends of the rotating shaft 151 respectively penetrate the pair of mounting plates 11 and extend to the outside; one end of the pair of first connecting rods 152 is respectively fixed to the two ends of the rotating shaft 151; one end of the pair of second connecting rods 153 is respectively hinged to the other end of the pair of second connecting rods 153; a pair of connecting seats 154 is respectively hinged to the other end of the pair of second connecting rods 153, and the pair of connecting seats 154 is respectively connected to a pair of linear bearings 13; the driver 155 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 151 to drive the rotating shaft 151 to rotate, and the driver 155 can be a combination of a motor and a reducer.

[0036] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a plurality of rotary adsorption modules are connected to the output end of the lifting module, and are lifted and lowered under the drive of the lifting module, thereby lifting and adsorbing the container on the external conveyor 41, and rotating and adjusting the position and direction of the container. When in use, the number of rotary adsorption modules can be matched one-to-one with the number of each row of placement holes 42 on the external conveyor 41, so that the containers on each row of placement holes 42 can be rotated and positioned at the same time.

[0037] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, any rotary adsorption module comprises: a vacuum suction cup 21 and a rotating unit 22. The vacuum suction cup 21 is arranged on the lifting module; the rotating unit 22 is connected to the vacuum suction cup 21 to drive the vacuum suction cup 21 to rotate.

[0038] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a plurality of rotating adsorption modules are arranged on the lifting module at equal intervals.

[0040] When in use, the device is connected to the conveyor 41 of the external instant noodle bucket 5, so that the multiple rotating adsorption modules are located directly below one row of multiple placement holes 42 on the conveyor 41. During processing, the instant noodle bucket 5 is placed on each row of multiple placement holes 42 in turn for transportation. When the instant noodle bucket 5 is transported to the top of the multiple rotating adsorption modules, the driver 155 controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 151, and transmits power through a pair of first connecting rods 152, a pair of second connecting rods 153 and a pair of connecting seats 154, driving a pair of linear bearings 13 to move upward on a pair of guide rods 12, so that the vacuum suction cups 21 in the multiple rotating adsorption modules lift and adsorb the multiple instant noodle buckets 5, and then the vacuum suction cups 21 are driven to rotate through the rotating units 22 in the multiple rotating adsorption modules, thereby driving the multiple instant noodle buckets 5 to rotate until the multiple identification code readers 31 can recognize the barcode on the instant noodle bucket 5, then stop the corresponding rotating units 22 in the multiple rotating adsorption modules, complete the positioning, and also complete the barcode reading, killing two birds with one stone.

[0041] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 5A container positioning device according to an embodiment of the utility model is described. When adjusting the instant noodle bucket 5, the instant noodle bucket 5 is first lifted up so that the surface mark of the instant noodle bucket 5 does not contact the inner wall of the placement hole 42 on the conveyor 41, and then the instant noodle bucket 5 is rotated and positioned so that the surface mark of the instant noodle bucket 5 will not be worn, thereby ensuring the production and processing quality of the product.
