Detailed Embodiments

[0022] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a preferred embodiment of the transfer device of the present utility model includes a first conveyor belt 11, a second conveyor belt 12, a knocking-down device 2, a transfer manipulator 3, a mounting frame 41, a supplementary light 42, a vision recognizer 5, a receiving plate 6 and a collection box 7. The first conveyor belt 11 is used to convey vertically placed glass bottles; the second conveyor belt 12 is used to convey horizontally placed glass bottles, and the second conveyor belt 12 is located on one side in the width direction of the first conveyor belt 11, and the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 11 overlaps with the feed end of the second conveyor belt. The knocking-down device 2 is installed on the first conveyor belt 11, and the knocking-down device 2 is used to knock down the glass bottles vertically placed on the first conveyor belt 11. The knocking-down device 2 knocks down the glass bottles by means of height limitation, so that the glass bottles are horizontally placed on the first conveyor belt 11, that is, the glass bottles vertically placed on the first conveyor belt 11 become horizontally placed on the first conveyor belt 11 after touching the knocking-down device 2. The transfer manipulator 3 is installed on the mounting column 31, and the mounting column 31 is located on one side of the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 11, so that the transfer manipulator 3 is located on one side of the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 11, which can reduce the space occupied by the transfer device in the width direction. The mounting frame 41 covers the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 at the same time, which is convenient for the transfer manipulator 3 to have enough space to move and facilitates transferring the glass bottles on the first conveyor belt 11 to the second conveyor belt 12. The vision recognizer 5 is installed on the mounting frame 41, and the vision recognizer 5 is electrically connected to the transfer manipulator 3. The vision recognizer 5 is used to identify the position of the glass bottle and transmit the position information to the transfer manipulator 3, and the transfer manipulator transfers the glass bottle according to the position information. The supplementary light 42 is installed on the mounting frame 41, and the supplementary light 42 is used to provide illumination to ensure that the vision recognizer 5 is in a bright environment and reduce the probability of recognition errors; there are two supplementary lights 42, and the two supplementary lights 42 are located on both sides of the vision recognizer 5 to reduce shadows and further improve the recognition accuracy; in other embodiments, if the environment itself can meet the brightness requirements, it is not necessary to install the supplementary light 42 separately. The receiving plate 6 is installed on the first conveyor belt 11, the upper end of the receiving plate 6 is located outside the first conveyor belt 11, and the lower end of the receiving plate 6 is located in the collection box 7; the receiving plate 6 guides the falling direction of the glass bottles falling from the first conveyor belt 11, and finally makes the glass bottles fall into the collection box 7. The two sides of the receiving plate 6 extend to form connecting plates 61, and the connecting plates 61 are fixed on the first conveyor belt 11 to facilitate the installation of the receiving plate 6.

[0024] Combined with Figure 4Referring to the above, the tipping device 2 includes a motor 21, a rotating shaft 22, a brush roller 23 and two mounting plates 24. The two mounting plates 24 are respectively mounted on both sides in the width direction of the first conveyor belt 11. The two ends of the rotating shaft 22 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plates 24. The brush roller 23 is mounted on the rotating shaft 22. The brush roller 23 is used to tip the glass bottles. Using the brush roller 23 can make the glass bottles contact the brush roller 23 flexibly, so as to protect the glass bottles and make them not easily damaged. The motor 21 is mounted on one of the mounting plates 24 and connected to the rotating shaft 22. The motor 21 is used to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. The rotating direction of the rotating shaft 22 is opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 11, so that the glass bottles can all be tipped in one direction, and at the same time, it can be avoided that the glass bottles cannot be tipped because they are stuck between the brush roller 23 and the first conveyor belt 11, that is, all the glass bottles can be made to fall down and fall in the same direction. The motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 22 drives the brush roller 23 to rotate. After the glass bottles move to the position of the brush roller 23, they all fall in the opposite direction of the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 11 under the action of the brush roller 23, completing the state change of the glass bottles, that is, changing from the vertical state to the horizontal state.

[0025] Combined with Figure 5 Referring to the above, the transfer manipulator 3 includes a mounting column 31, a manipulator body 32, a mounting cylinder 33, a rotary driver 34, a lifting driver 35 and a negative pressure suction nozzle 36. The negative pressure suction nozzle 36 is used to suck the glass bottles. There are two negative pressure suction nozzles 36. The two nozzles are distributed left and right to facilitate sucking the two ends of the glass bottles to ensure the stability of sucking. Of course, in other embodiments, one suction nozzle or more suction nozzles can also be used, which can be selected according to actual needs. The negative pressure suction nozzle 36 is mounted on the rotary driver 34. The rotary driver 34 is used to drive the suction nozzle to rotate; the rotary driver 34 usually uses a rotary cylinder, and in other embodiments, devices such as the motor 21 that can have a rotary output can also be used. The rotary driver 34 is mounted on the lifting driver 35. The lifting driver 35 is used to drive the rotary driver 34 to lift; the lifting driver 35 uses a lifting cylinder, and an electric cylinder or other devices that can reciprocate up and down can also be used. The mounting cylinder 33 is mounted on the manipulator body 32. The mounting cylinder 33 is used to provide a mounting space. The manipulator body 32 is mounted on the mounting column 31. The mounting column 31 is used to increase the height of the manipulator body 32 to ensure that the manipulator body 32 has a sufficient height, which is convenient for the manipulator body 32 to rotate and at the same time can facilitate the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 to suck the glass bottles. The visual recognition device 5 is electrically connected to the manipulator body 32. The manipulator body 32 performs actions according to the glass bottle position information recognized by the visual recognition device 5. In another embodiment, when the manipulator body 32 can perform three-dimensional rotation, the lifting driver 35 may not be required.

[0026] When it is necessary to transfer the glass bottles, the manipulator body 32 drives the mounting cylinder 33, the rotary driver 34 and the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 to move together. After moving to the designated position, the rotary driver 34 rotates to make the straight line where the two negative pressure suction nozzles 36 are located overlap with the straight line where the glass bottles are located. Then, the lifting driver 35 descends to drive the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 to suck the glass bottles. After the sucking is completed, the lifting driver 35 resets, and the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 also resets to take the glass bottles horizontally conveyed by the first conveyor belt 11 away from the first conveyor belt 11. Then, the manipulator body 32 operates to make the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 located above the second conveyor belt 12. The rotary driver 34 rotates again to turn the glass bottles to correspond to the trays on the second conveyor belt 12. The lifting driver 35 moves down to make the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 place the glass bottles on the trays on the second conveyor belt 12, thus completing the entire transfer process. Since the first conveyor belt 11 is always working, the grasping position is different each time. Therefore, it is necessary to use the rotary driver 34 to adjust the position of the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 to ensure the matching of the position between the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 and the glass bottles, so as to better suck up the glass bottles.

[0027] To facilitate the installation of the negative pressure suction nozzle 36, the negative pressure suction nozzle 36 is installed on the rotary driver 34 through a mounting block 37.

[0028] After the vertical glass bottles are conveyed from the first conveyor belt 11 to the laying-down device 2, the glass bottles are laid down under the action of the brush roller 23, so that the glass bottles are horizontally conveyed at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 11. The transfer manipulator 3 transfers the horizontally conveyed glass bottles to the horizontally conveyed second conveyor belt 12, realizing the conversion of the vertically conveyed glass bottles to horizontal conveyance. The mechanical transfer efficiency is high. After the transfer efficiency is high, the dropped glass bottles are reduced, that is, the wasted glass bottles are reduced, and the utilization rate is improved.

[0029] The above is only the implementation mode of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structure made by using the specification and drawings of the present invention, directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
