Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Implant syringes are generally placed in a row in a tray, and the trays are stacked on top of each other to form a tray stack. The tray stack is wrapped with an inner plastic film, a middle plastic film, and an outer plastic film from the inside to the outside. Before loading the medicine column, it is necessary to remove the film from the tray stack and separate them, and then transfer the implant syringes to a conveying mechanism, which transports them to subsequent workstations for processing. The process of transferring the implant syringes to the conveying mechanism is generally carried out by an implant syringe transfer robot. For example, the existing material picking and placing device with the application number 202221974872.4 includes a robotic arm and a material picking mechanism. The material picking mechanism includes a mounting seat provided on the robotic arm. The mounting seat is provided with a clamping component capable of clamping multiple push rods on the tray and an adsorption component capable of adsorbing the tray. The clamping component includes a clamping and releasing driving member and multiple pairs of clamping blocks. Two parallel clamping seats are slidably arranged on the mounting seat. Each pair of clamping blocks is respectively fixed on the two clamping seats and arranged oppositely. Each pair of clamping blocks is arranged side by side along the extending direction of the clamping seat. The clamping and releasing driving member is connected to the clamping seat and is used to drive the two clamping seats to move relatively to realize the opening and closing of each pair of clamping blocks. Clamping grooves are provided on the opposite sides of each pair of clamping blocks. The opening and closing direction of each pair of clamping blocks is the same as the extending direction of the clamping seat. The existing material picking and placing device has the following deficiencies: the adsorption component is fixed on the mounting seat, which is prone to collide with the tray during the process of the material picking mechanism clamping the push rod, and is prone to collide with the conveying mechanism during the process of the material picking mechanism transferring the material, which not only affects the material picking, placing, and transferring operations, but also is easily damaged and reduces the service life.

The mounting base 2 is provided on the robotic arm 1, the material clamping mechanism 3 is provided on the mounting base 2, and the suction mechanism 4 is rotatably arranged on the mounting base 2 and is located on the side of the material clamping mechanism 3.

[0032] Since the suction mechanism 4 is rotatably arranged on the mounting base 2, the suction mechanism 4 can be rotated to the upper side of the material clamping mechanism 3. When the material clamping mechanism 3 clamps the material (such as a syringe) from the tray, it will not collide with the tray, and it will not collide with the conveying mechanism 5 during the process of the material clamping mechanism 3 transferring the material. It not only does not affect the operations of taking, placing, and transferring the material, but also is not easily damaged, thus increasing the service life.

[0033] Furthermore, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the suction mechanism 4 includes a rotating base 41, a suction component 42, and a rotation driving component 43 for driving the rotation of the rotating base 41. The rotating base 41 is rotatably arranged on the mounting base 2, the rotation driving component 43 is arranged on the mounting base 2, and the suction component 42 is arranged on the rotating base 41.

The bushing 441 is arranged on the rotating base 41, the suction component 42 is movably sleeved in the bushing 441, and the elastic member 442 is arranged between the bushing 441 and the suction component 42. The suction component 42 is movably sleeved in the bushing 441 and connected to the bushing 441 through the elastic member 442, so that the suction component 42 has a movement amount along the axial direction of the bushing 441 and can be reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 442. Preferably, a kidney-shaped groove is provided on the rotating base 41, the bushing 441 is slidably arranged in the kidney-shaped groove and fixed on the rotating base 41 through a locking member, and the axial direction of the bushing 441 is perpendicular to the length direction of the kidney-shaped groove.

Each pair of clamping blocks 32 is arranged side by side along the extending direction of the clamping seat 21. The clamping and releasing driving member 31 is connected to the clamping seats 21 and is used to drive the two clamping seats 21 to move relatively to realize the opening and closing of each pair of clamping blocks 32. Driving the opening and closing of each pair of clamping blocks 32 by one clamping and releasing driving member 31 not only saves the driving cost but also reduces the overall size.
