Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food and drug packaging equipment, and particularly relates to a steering and conveying device. Background Art

[0002] For a conventional bottle body, it needs to be placed on an inner liner before boxing. After being wrapped by the inner liner, it is then loaded into a box body. During the production process, the bottle body needs to be conveyed longitudinally first, and then laterally. After being converted from longitudinal conveyance to lateral conveyance, the original side of the bottle body needs to be flipped to the bottom surface. However, the existing steering manipulators generally can only convert the longitudinal conveyance of the bottle body to lateral conveyance, and cannot flip the original side of the bottle body to the bottom surface. That is to say, they have a single function and poor applicability. Content of the Utility Model

[0029] Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the steering conveying device of the present utility model is shown. The steering conveying device of this embodiment includes a robotic arm 41, a rotating mechanism 42, and a suction assembly 43. The rotating mechanism 42 is rotatably arranged on the robotic arm 41, and the suction assembly 43 is flip - set on the rotating mechanism 42. A flip - driving assembly 44 for driving the suction assembly 43 to flip is provided on the rotating mechanism 42. The flip - driving assembly 44 includes a telescopic driving member 441 and a connecting rod 442. The telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 441 is connected to the suction assembly 43 through the connecting rod 442 for driving the suction assembly 43 to perform a flipping motion.

[0030] The rotating mechanism 42 is rotatably arranged on the robotic arm 41 for rotating the bottle body 6 sucked by the suction assembly 43 from the longitudinal direction to the transverse direction. The suction assembly 43 is flip - set on the rotating mechanism 42 for flipping the bottle body 6 by a certain angle (such as 90°) to satisfy the side of the bottle body 6 being flipped to the bottom surface (such as Figures 3 to 4The process) requirements. The specific process is as follows: The suction component 43 sucks the bottle body 6, and the rotating mechanism 42 rotates to rotate the bottle body 6 sucked by the suction component 43 from the longitudinal direction to the transverse direction. The telescopic driving member 441 performs telescopic movement, and drives the suction component 43 to flip by a certain angle (such as 90°) through the connecting rod 442; the robotic arm 41 transfers the bottle body 6 to the placement position. This steering and conveying device can convert the bottle body 6 from the longitudinal direction to the transverse direction, and can also flip the original side surface of the bottle body 6 to the bottom surface. It has multiple functions and good applicability.

[0031] Preferably, the rotating mechanism 42 rotates horizontally, and the suction component 43 is arranged on the rotating mechanism 42 to flip up and down.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flipping driving component 44 drives the suction component 43 to flip between 0 and 90°. Thus, the original side surface of the bottle body 6 is flipped to the bottom surface.

[0033] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the suction component 43 includes a suction base 431 and a suction cup 432. The suction base 431 is arranged on the rotating mechanism 42 to flip, the suction cup 432 is arranged on the suction base 431, and the connecting rod 442 is connected to the suction base 431. The telescopic driving member 441 performs telescopic movement, and drives the suction base 431 to flip through the connecting rod 442, and the suction cup 432 follows the suction base 431 to flip.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 441 is slidably and rotatably connected to the connecting rod 442. In this way, the telescopic movement of the telescopic driving member 441 can be converted into the rotational movement of the connecting rod 442.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a chute 443 is provided on the connecting rod 442, and a sliding column 444 is provided at the telescopic end of the telescopic driving member 441. The sliding column 444 is slidably engaged with the chute 443.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotation axis of the connecting rod 442 is located at one end of the connecting rod 442, and the chute 443 is located at the other end of the connecting rod 442. This increases the effective utilization length of the connecting rod 442 and reduces the space occupied by the movement of the connecting rod 442. Preferably, the telescopic driving member 441 is a cylinder, an oil cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0037] Further, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 42 includes a rotation driving member 421 and a rotating base 422. The rotation driving member 421 is installed on the robotic arm 41, and the rotating base 422 is installed on the driving end of the rotation driving member 421. The suction assembly 43 is flip - mounted on the rotating base 422, and the flip - driving assembly 44 is arranged on the rotating base 422. Specifically, the rotating base 422 is located below the rotation driving member 421 and is driven by the rotation driving member 421 to rotate.
