Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic barrel loading, and particularly relates to a device for loading empty barrels for recycled drinking water. Background Art

[0002] In the existing production process of barreled water, the empty barrels recycled to the factory need to be processed in a series of steps. First, these empty barrels need to be placed on a barrel rack and then transferred to a temporary storage area for empty barrels. During the production process, these empty barrels need to be placed back on the conveying system of the production line. However, currently, this operation usually relies on manual labor. Specifically, workers need to manually carry the empty barrels from the storage area and place them on the production line conveyor.

[0003] This manual operation method has significant inefficiencies. Take a production line with a production speed of 2000 barrels per hour as an example. Usually, two workers are required to perform the barrel loading operation simultaneously, and four workers are needed to maintain production requirements during one production shift. In addition, manual barrel loading not only consumes a large amount of physical strength but also has a monotonous and boring job content, which easily leads to worker fatigue and a decrease in work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a device for loading empty barrels for recycled drinking water is proposed to solve the above problems. By using automated equipment to replace manual barrel loading, not only can the labor demand be significantly reduced, but also the production efficiency can be remarkably improved, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced, and the working environment can be improved. This not only has significant economic benefits but also is of great significance in improving production efficiency and quality control. By introducing automated equipment, enterprises can better adapt to changes in market demand and achieve more efficient and stable production operations. Content of the Utility Model

[0041] The present application provides a device for loading empty barrels for drinking water recycling, which is specifically as follows:

[0042] For reference Figure 1-2 This application mainly consists of a chassis assembly 1, a lifting assembly 2 provided on the chassis assembly 1, a support assembly 3 provided on the lifting assembly 2 and capable of moving vertically in a straight line along the lifting assembly 2 through driving, a gripper assembly 4 hinged to one end of the support assembly 3 away from the lifting assembly 2, an N-shaped rod 5 provided on the upper surface of the support assembly 3, and a first cylinder 6 whose output end is connected to the gripper assembly 4 through a rotating shaft and the other end is connected to the top of the N-shaped rod 5 through a rotating shaft. Through the cooperation between the components, the effect of loading empty barrels is achieved.

[0043] For reference Figure 1-2 For reference, the chassis assembly 1 cooperates with the lifting assembly 2 and the support assembly 3 to achieve linear motion in the front-back, up-down directions. Among them, the chassis assembly 1 includes a chassis 11 and a first toothed shaft 12, and the first toothed shaft 12 is provided in the middle of the chassis 11; the lifting assembly 2 includes an outer frame 21, a chain 22, a first servo motor 23 and a second toothed shaft 24. There are two chains 22, which are meshed and lapped on the top of the outer frame 21. The first servo motor 23 is installed at the bottom of the outer frame 21, and its output end is meshed with the first toothed shaft 12 through a gear. The second toothed shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the surface of the outer frame 21.

[0044] When achieving horizontal linear motion, by driving the first servo motor 23, the first servo motor 23 is prompted to drive the gear at the output point to rotate and mesh with the first toothed shaft 12, thereby prompting the lifting assembly 2 to move in a straight line along the direction of the chassis 11.

[0045] The support assembly 3 includes a bracket 31 and a second servo motor 32. The second servo motor 32 is provided on the bracket 31, and its output end passes through one side of the bracket 31 and is connected to the second toothed shaft 24 through a gear. When achieving vertical linear motion, by driving the second servo motor 32 to move, the gear at the output end is prompted to rotate, so as to mesh with the second toothed shaft 24, thereby prompting the support assembly 3 to move in a straight line in the up-down direction along the lifting assembly 2.

[0046] Furthermore, a counterweight 7 is used to balance the weight of the support assembly 3. The counterweight 7 is connected to the chain 22, and the other end of the chain 22 is connected to the support assembly 3. At the same time, both ends of the bracket 31 of the support assembly 3 and the outer frame 21 in the lifting assembly 2 are connected through sliding shafts to achieve the effects of sliding and stable positioning on both sides. Its connection is a conventional setting method in the existing lifting structure, and this application will not elaborate further.

[0047] For reference Figure 3-4, the support component 3 is used to support the gripper component 4 to grab an empty barrel through the gripper component 4. The gripper component 4 includes a cross bar 41, a connecting rod 42, a gripper shaft 43 and a clamping plate 44. There are two cross bars 41 which are symmetrically arranged up and down. The connecting rod 42 is arranged in the middle of the connection of the two cross bars 41. There are multiple gripper shafts 43 which are equidistantly arranged on the two cross bars 41. The clamping plate 44 is arranged on one side of the opening of the gripper shaft 43 for clamping the empty barrel.

[0048] The cross bar 41 is used to support multiple gripper shafts 43. The multiple gripper shafts 43 are evenly distributed on the cross bar 41 at equal intervals. The clamping plate 44 is connected to the opening of the gripper shaft 43 for stably clamping the front end of the empty barrel. When the clamping plate 44 is clamped, the gripper shaft 43 needs to work to prompt the two clamping plates 44 above and below to close to complete the clamping work. The connecting rod 42 is arranged in the middle of the connection of the two cross bars 41 to play a role in connecting and stabilizing the two cross bars 41. The number of cross bars 41 is not less than three. The connecting rod 42 arranged in the middle of the cross bar 41 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 6 to complete the subsequent work of the first cylinder 6.

[0049] For reference Figure 3-4 , when the gripper component 4 grabs an empty barrel, the empty barrel is located on the existing rack for receiving the empty barrel. After grabbing, the air conditioner needs to be smoothly transferred to the conveyor line of the production line. However, in order to better prompt the gripper component 4 to perform the grabbing work, the empty barrel is generally placed horizontally. When the gripper component 4 grabs it, in order to smoothly place the empty barrel on the production line, the empty barrel needs to be further rotated. Therefore, the N-shaped rod 5 and the first cylinder 6 are provided;

[0050] Since the output end of the first cylinder 6 is connected to the gripper component 4 through a rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the top of the N-shaped rod 5 through a rotating shaft, and the N-shaped rod 5 raises the other side of the output end of the first cylinder 6; prompting the first cylinder 6 to be inclined. When the first cylinder 6 starts to work, the output end pushes to connect the gripper component 4 to move. At this time, the gripper component 4 will rotate. In order to better and smoothly rotate the gripper component 4, one of the lower cross bars 41 of the gripper component 4 is connected through a rotating shaft. Therefore, during rotation, it can stably perform a 90-degree rotation work.

[0051] Furthermore, the gripper shaft 43 includes a second cylinder 431, an adjusting rod 432 and a folding rod 433. The second cylinder 431 is fixedly installed on the cross bar 41. There are two adjusting rods 432 which are symmetrically arranged up and down on the cross bar 41. Both ends of the folding rod 433 are rotatably connected to the two adjusting rods 432. The middle of the folding rod 433 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 431 through a rotating shaft. When starting, through the work of the second cylinder 431, the front and back of the folding part in the middle of the folding rod 433 changes, thereby controlling the adjusting rod 432 to drive the clamping plate 44 to perform the closing work.

[0052] It should be noted that the folding rod 433 is composed of two short rods, which are rotatably connected between the two short rods. One of the short rod joints is U-shaped. After the two short rods are connected, the U-shaped position still exists. Subsequently, the front side of the output end of the second cylinder 431 can be connected to the position of the U-shaped position by setting a matching connecting block, and a rotational connection is formed with the two short rods synchronously.

[0053] In the present utility model, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0054] 1. First, through the mutual movement between the chassis assembly 1, the lifting assembly 2, and the support assembly 3, the gripper assembly 4 is moved to the position of the empty barrel carrier.

[0055] 2. Secondly, move forward again once to prompt the front end of the gripper assembly 4 to clamp the front end of the empty barrel, and the gripper assembly 4 starts to work.

[0056] 3. Then, the second cylinder 431 in the gripper assembly 4 works, and the output end moves towards one end of the second cylinder 431, thereby closing the two side clamping plates 44 to clamp the front end of the empty barrel.

[0057] 4. Finally, move the chassis assembly 1, the lifting assembly 2, and the support assembly 3 again to transfer the gripper assembly 4 to the position of the conveyor line, and rotate the gripper assembly 4 through the movement of the first cylinder 6 to stably place the empty barrel on the conveyor line. Repeat all the above steps in sequence until the work stops.

[0058] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope claimed by the present utility model. The scope claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
