Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of infusion bottle material sorting equipment, in particular to a material pushing mechanism for sorting infusion bottles. Background Art
[0002] During the production and packing process of polypropylene infusion bottles, multiple infusion bottles are neatly arranged in a certain number and then the robot grabs the infusion bottles to complete the packing. When packing polypropylene infusion bottles, centralized transportation is adopted. After the counter induction counts, the conveyor belt moves a row of neat infusion bottles to the entrance of the lane board (temporary storage track for infusion bottles). Under the push of the pneumatic push plate, the infusion bottles enter the various channels of the lane board in an orderly manner. After a box of products is met, the robot grabs the infusion bottles and completes the packing.
[0003] However, when the pneumatic push plate pushes the infusion bottle onto the dividing plate, because the pneumatic push plate has a high speed and force, the infusion bottle itself also has a certain kinetic energy. Under the influence of inertia, the infusion bottles on the dividing plate cannot be kept in an orderly position and are relatively scattered. They need to be sorted out again before the robot arm can successfully grab the infusion bottle for packing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a pushing mechanism for arranging infusion bottles, so as to solve the problem that the infusion bottles on the dividing plate are scattered and need to be arranged neatly again before the manipulator can smoothly grab the infusion bottles for packing.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A pushing mechanism for sorting infusion bottles comprises a feeding belt conveyor, a synchronous belt conveyor, a collecting table, a pushing plate, a first cylinder, a dividing plate and an elastic blocker. The feeding belt conveyor, the synchronous belt conveyor, the first cylinder, the dividing plate and the elastic blocker are all installed on the collecting table, and the discharge end of the feeding belt conveyor is connected to the feed end of the synchronous belt conveyor. The working end of the elastic blocker abuts against the infusion bottle on the dividing plate. The pushing plate is installed on the power output end of the first cylinder, and the pushing plate is directly opposite to the infusion bottle on the synchronous belt conveyor.
[0007] A further technical solution is: the lane dividing plate is composed of a bottom plate and partitions evenly distributed and vertically installed on the bottom plate.
[0008] A further technical solution is: the elastic blocker includes a side plate, a U-shaped plate, a limiting mechanism and a first spring, the side plate is symmetrically installed on the material collection table, the U-shaped plate is connected to the two material collection tables through a limiting mechanism, and the two ends of the first spring respectively tighten the side plate and the U-shaped plate.
[0009] A further technical solution is that: the limiting mechanism includes a limiting block, a locking assembly and reverse teeth. The limiting block is installed on the side surface of the side plate. The locking assembly is installed on the limiting block. The U-shaped plate is slidably connected to the limiting block. A plurality of the reverse teeth are evenly installed on the U-shaped plate, and the reverse teeth are adapted to the locking end of the locking assembly.
[0010] A further technical solution is that: the locking assembly includes a second spring, a pin and a housing. The housing is installed on the limiting block. The pin is slidably installed on the housing, and the inner end of the pin penetrates into the limiting block and is adapted to the reverse teeth. The second spring is installed in the housing and presses the pin tightly towards the direction where the reverse teeth are located.
[0011] A further technical solution is that: the distance between two adjacent reverse teeth is adapted to the maximum diameter of the infusion bottle.
[0012] A further technical solution is that: a vertically arranged baffle is slidably installed on the aggregate table. The baffle is located at the feeding end of the lane dividing plate. The bottom of the baffle is connected to the power output end of the second cylinder.
[0013] A further technical solution is that: a counter is arranged on the synchronous belt conveyor. The counter is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the coordinated control of the feeding belt conveyor, the synchronous belt conveyor and the first cylinder.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, at least one of the beneficial effects that the present utility model can achieve is as follows:
[0015] The present utility model provides a pushing mechanism for sorting infusion bottles. When the pushing mechanism pushes the infusion bottles onto the lane dividing plate, the elastic blanking device can tightly press against the outer side of the infusion bottles on the lane dividing plate, preventing the position of the infusion bottles on the lane dividing plate from being scattered and uneven due to the influence of the relatively fast speed and the inertia of the infusion bottles themselves when the push plate pushes the infusion bottles, thus affecting the grasping of the manipulator and avoiding the workload caused by having to sort the infusion bottles neatly again. This pushing mechanism can ensure that the infusion bottles are fed neatly on the lane dividing plate and guarantee the smooth progress of the work. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Embodiment 1:
[0028] As shown in this embodiment Figure 1 A pusher mechanism for sorting infusion bottles includes a feeding belt conveyor 1, a synchronous belt conveyor 2, an aggregate table 3, a push plate 4, a first cylinder 5, a lane divider 6, and an elastic stopper 7. The feeding belt conveyor 1, the synchronous belt conveyor 2, the first cylinder 5, the lane divider 6, and the elastic stopper 7 are all installed on the aggregate table 3, and the discharge end of the feeding belt conveyor 1 is communicated with the feeding end of the synchronous belt conveyor 2. The working end of the elastic stopper 7 abuts against the infusion bottle 8 on the lane divider 6. The push plate 4 is installed on the power output end of the first cylinder 5, and the push plate 4 faces the infusion bottle 8 on the synchronous belt conveyor 2.
[0029] A guiding plate is inclinedly arranged at the connection between the feeding belt conveyor 1 and the synchronous belt conveyor 2. The infusion bottle 8 on the feeding belt conveyor 1 enters the synchronous belt conveyor 2 along the guiding plate. A retaining edge is arranged on one side of the synchronous belt conveyor 2 away from the feeding belt conveyor 1, and there is no retaining edge on the other side to facilitate the infusion bottle 8 to enter the lane divider 6. When the infusion bottle 8 on the synchronous belt conveyor 2 reaches the feeding end of the lane divider 6, the first cylinder 5 drives the push plate 4 to push the infusion bottle 8 on the synchronous belt conveyor 2 towards the lane divider 6. At this time, the elastic stopper 7 will abut against the infusion bottle 8 and provide a pressing force smaller than the driving force of the first cylinder 5 to prevent the infusion bottle 8 on the lane divider 6 from being scattered due to the influence of the relatively fast speed of the first cylinder 5 and the inertia of the infusion bottle 5 itself.
[0030] It should be noted that: the elastic plugging device 7 can be a rubber rope, and a plurality of card slots adapted to the rubber rope are uniformly arranged on the lane dividing plate 6.
[0031] Preferably, the lane dividing plate 6 is composed of a bottom plate 61 and partition plates 62 which are uniformly distributed and vertically installed on the bottom plate 61.
[0032] A plurality of partition plates 62 form a channel for temporarily storing the infusion bottle 8 on the bottom plate 61.
[0033] Embodiment 2:
[0034] On the basis of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the elastic plugging device 7 includes side plates 71, a U-shaped plate 72, a limiting mechanism 73 and a first spring 74. The side plates 71 are symmetrically installed on the aggregate platform 3. The U-shaped plate 72 is connected to the two aggregate platforms 3 through the limiting mechanism 73. The two ends of the first spring 74 respectively tension the side plates 71 and the U-shaped plate 72. The limiting mechanism 73 includes a limiting block 731, a locking assembly 732 and reverse teeth 733. The limiting block 731 is installed on the side surface of the side plate 71. The locking assembly 732 is installed on the limiting block 731. The U-shaped plate 72 is slidably connected to the limiting block 731. A plurality of reverse teeth 733 are uniformly installed on the U-shaped plate 72, and the reverse teeth 733 are adapted to the locking end of the locking assembly 732. The locking assembly 732 includes a second spring 7321, a pin 7322 and a housing 7323. The housing 7323 is installed on the limiting block 731. The pin 7322 is slidably installed in the housing 7323, and the inner end of the pin 7322 penetrates into the limiting block 731 and is adapted to the reverse teeth 733. The second spring 7321 is installed in the housing 7323 and presses the pin 7322 towards the direction where the reverse teeth 733 are located.
[0035] If a rubber rope is used as the elastic plugging device 7, not only are multiple card slots adapted to the rubber rope required to be opened on the lane dividing plate 6, which is troublesome to process and the rubber rope is easy to get out of the slot, but also the force-bearing area of the rubber rope on the infusion bottle 8 is small, and the infusion bottle 8 is prone to unstable center of gravity and tipping. Therefore, using the U-shaped plate 72 in cooperation with the limiting mechanism 73 and the first spring 74 can more stably hold the infusion bottle 8. Moreover, the limiting mechanism 73 can utilize the mutual cooperation of the reverse teeth 733 and the locking assembly 732. Once a row of infusion bottles enters the lane dividing plate 6, the U-shaped plate 72 is tightened by the infusion bottle 8 and pushed a certain distance. At this time, the reverse teeth 733 will advance one tooth position in the locking assembly 732. When the first cylinder 5 cancels the acting force on the infusion bottle 8, the locking assembly 732 will lock the reverse teeth 733, and the U-shaped plate 72 will not exert an acting force on the infusion bottle 8, ensuring the stable position of the infusion bottle. Even after the manipulator grabs the infusion bottle 8 away, the position of the U-shaped plate 72 will remain fixed.
[0036] Preferably, the distance between two adjacent reverse teeth 733 is adapted to the maximum diameter of the infusion bottle 8.
[0037] Ensure that the tooth position between two adjacent reverse teeth 733 is adapted to the maximum diameter of an infusion bottle 8.
[0038] Embodiment 3:
[0039] On the basis of the above embodiments, as shown in this embodiment Figure 2 A vertically arranged baffle 9 is slidably installed on the aggregate table 3. The baffle 9 is located at the feeding end of the lane dividing plate 6, and the bottom of the baffle 9 is connected to the power output end of the second cylinder 10.
[0040] In order to prevent the elastic plugging device 7 from exerting too large a tightening force on the infusion bottles 8 with a small quantity, when the first cylinder 5 is not working, the infusion bottles 8 may move back. At this time, the second cylinder 10 can lift the baffle 9 to block the feeding end of the lane dividing plate 6 and prevent the infusion bottles 8 from moving back and sliding out of the lane dividing plate 6.
[0041] Preferably, a counter 11 is arranged on the synchronous belt conveyor 2. The counter 11 is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the coordinated control of the feeding belt conveyor 1, the synchronous belt conveyor 2 and the first cylinder 5.
[0042] The counter 11 controls the number of infusion bottles 8 on the synchronous belt conveyor 2 according to the number of channels divided by the lane dividing plate 6 to ensure that the feeding of the synchronous belt conveyor 2 is adapted to the lane dividing plate 6.
[0043] 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 described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
