[0003] For some glass bottles and jars with small mouths and large bodies, it is difficult to directly complete the manufacturing with existing bottle-making machines at one time. Especially for large bottles over 10 liters, manual control of transfer and production is required. In the prior art, first, a material picking machine is needed to add raw materials into the primary mold to form a primary embryo, then it is manually transferred to the middle mold to form a middle embryo, and finally, it is manually transferred into the final mold to form a final embryo. Finally, the final embryo is transferred to an annealing furnace for annealing. Large bottles with a volume of 10 liters to 20 liters are large in size and heavy in weight. Manual production has high labor intensity, low efficiency, and the control time of each step also depends on manual labor, so it is not conducive to production. Summary of the Utility Model

Among them, the primary mold mechanism 1 is located on one side, the intermediate mold mechanism 2 and the forming mold mechanism 3 are located on the other side, and the included angle between the two sides is set to be an obtuse angle, which can effectively reduce the floor area of the entire machine. And the transfer mechanism 5 is located in the space surrounded by the primary mold mechanism 1, the intermediate mold mechanism 2, and the forming mold mechanism 3, and the material picking mechanism 4 is located on the side of the primary mold mechanism 1 away from the transfer mechanism 5. The transfer mechanism 5 drives the semi-finished product materials to be sequentially transferred from the primary mold mechanism 1 to the intermediate mold mechanism 2, and then from the intermediate mold mechanism 2 to the forming mold mechanism 3. Therefore, setting the transfer mechanism 5 in the space surrounded by the primary mold mechanism 1, the intermediate mold mechanism 2, and the forming mold mechanism 3 can not only reduce the floor area of the whole machine, make the whole machine more compact, but also effectively reduce the transfer path, save time, and improve production efficiency.

[0022] The material picking mechanism 4 includes a first robotic arm 6 and a ball rod 7 clamped by the first robotic arm 6. The first robotic arm 6 clamps one end of the ball rod 7. The ball rod 7 is first filled with raw materials in the material furnace under the clamping of the first robotic arm 6, and then transferred to the primary mold mechanism 1 under the clamping of the first robotic arm 6 to add materials into the primary mold mechanism 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the first robotic arm 6 includes a base 8, a rotatable turntable 9 is connected to the base 8, a large arm 10 with one end hinged to the turntable 9 is connected to the turntable 9, a wrist body 11 is hinged to the end of the large arm 10 away from the turntable 9, a wrist 12 is hinged to the end of the wrist body 11 away from the large arm 10, and the wrist 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the ball rod 7, driving the ball rod 7 to perform basic actions such as moving and rotating, so as to complete the feeding.

[0024] The primary mold mechanism 1 includes a primary mold frame 13, on which a funnel, an openable and closable clamp arm 15, and an air-blowing mechanism 16 are provided. The material picking mechanism 4 adds the material into the funnel, and the material falls into the clamp arm 15 and is blown by the air-blowing mechanism 16 to form a primary embryo.

[0025] The transfer mechanism 5 includes a second robotic arm 17 and a moving fixture 18 connected to the second robotic arm 17. A positioning ring is provided at one end of the moving fixture 18 connected to the second robotic arm 17, and a quick-change joint 20 is connected to the end of the second robotic arm 17, which can quickly replace the moving fixture 18. In this embodiment, the structure of the second robotic arm 17 is the same as that of the first robotic arm 6 and will not be described in detail.

[0026] In this embodiment, the quick-change joint 20 is an electromagnetic connector, and the electromagnetic connector includes an electromagnet that can generate magnetism when energized and can adsorb the positioning ring. The electromagnetic connector is the same as that in the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0027] In this embodiment, during operation, there are two sets of moving fixtures 18 corresponding to the second robotic arm 17. One set is connected to the second robotic arm 17 and is transferred from the primary mold mechanism 1 to the intermediate mold mechanism 2 and then to the final mold mechanism 3 by the second robotic arm 17, and the other set is located in the primary mold mechanism 1 to receive the primary embryo.

[0028] In this embodiment, a cylinder mounting plate 21 is further fixedly connected to the primary mold frame 13. A first cylinder 22 that can move close to or away from the clamp arm 15 and a second cylinder 23 perpendicular to the first cylinder 22 are provided on the cylinder mounting plate 21. One set of moving fixtures 18 is located on the primary mold frame 13 below the clamp arm 15, and the formed primary embryo is located on the moving fixture 18. The second robotic arm 17 drives the other set of moving fixtures 18 to move and places this set of moving fixtures 18 on the output end of the second cylinder 23 and separates the two. Then, the second robotic arm 17 moves to the moving fixture 18 that drives the primary embryo and connects with it. Driven by the second robotic arm 17, the moving fixture 18 drives the primary embryo to be transferred from the primary mold mechanism 1 to the intermediate mold mechanism 2. At the same time, the first cylinder 22 and the second cylinder 23 cooperate to push the moving fixture 18 under the clamp arm 15. The material picking mechanism 4 operates, and the primary mold mechanism 1 works. The formed primary embryo is again located on the moving fixture 18, and this process is repeated in turn. The second robotic arm 17 realizes continuous transportation and transfer, and the two sets of moving fixtures 18 alternate. Under the action of the quick-change joint, it not only does not cause the second robotic arm 17 to wait, improves production efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity of workers and saves manpower.

The mold forming mechanism 3 includes a mold forming frame 27, on which a mold forming clamp 28 that can be opened and closed and a second positive blowing mechanism 29 are provided. The structures of the middle mold mechanism 2 and the mold forming mechanism 3 belong to the prior art and are not described in detail. A movable bottle clamp 30 is also provided on the mold forming frame 27. Figure 3 As shown, the bottle clamp 30 is a pneumatic switch clamp, the bottle clamp 30 is connected to a cantilever 31, the cantilever 31 is connected to a motor driving the cantilever 31 to swing, the motor is a servo motor 32, the servo motor 32 is connected to one end of the cantilever 31, and the bottle clamp 30 is connected to the other end of the cantilever 31. The servo motor 32 controls the cantilever 31 to control the bottle clamp 30. When the bottle clamp 30 is away from the molding mechanism 3, space is made for the transfer mechanism 5 to drive the embryo into the molding mechanism 3. The cantilever 31 drives the bottle clamp 30 to move. Compared with the linear movement, no guide is required, the structure is simpler, and the swing can realize the movement in both horizontal and vertical directions at the same time. Compared with the linear movement, a set of power devices is saved, which is more cost-effective.

[0030] After the mobile clamp 18 places the middle embryo in the molding mechanism 3, the mobile clamp 18 is separated from the embryo, and then the molding mechanism 3 processes the middle embryo into the embryo. After completion, the servo motor 32 drives the cantilever 31 to swing, so that the bottle clamp 30 moves to the embryo position and clamps the embryo. The servo motor 32 drives the cantilever 31 to move in the opposite direction again, and the bottle clamp 30 clamps the embryo away from the molding mechanism 3 to the annealing position for annealing.

[0031] The second robot arm 17 places the empty mobile fixture 18 on the cylinder mounting plate, and then moves to the primary mold mechanism 1 to connect and transfer the mobile fixture 18 with the primary embryo to the middle mold mechanism 2. The first cylinder 22 and the second cylinder 23 push the empty mobile fixture 18 into the primary mold mechanism 1, and clamp the primary embryo at the middle mold mechanism 2. The middle mold mechanism 2 processes the primary embryo into a medium embryo, and then drives the medium embryo to be transferred to the mold forming mechanism 3. After the mold forming clamp 28 in the mold forming mechanism 3 fixes the medium embryo, the mobile fixture 18 opens and separates from the medium embryo. At this time, the primary embryo in the primary mold mechanism 1 is ready again, and the second robot arm 17 takes The movable movable fixture 18 is placed on the cylinder mounting plate, and then the movable fixture 18 with the blank is transferred to the middle mold mechanism 2. At this time, the blank is processed in the mold mechanism 3, and the bottle clamp 30 clamps the blank out, and the transfer mechanism 5 continues to drive the movable fixture 18 to move, and so on. Each mechanism works uninterruptedly under the movement of the transfer mechanism 5. One of the two sets of movable fixtures 18 moves under the drive of the second mechanical arm 17 to realize the slow molding of the glass bottle, and the other set receives the blank in the blank mold frame 13, alternating in sequence without waiting, which not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity of workers.
