DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the utility model product is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but rather that it may be slightly tilted.
[0043] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0044] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, this embodiment provides a bottle batch transfer device, see Figure 1 The device primarily comprises a conveyor belt, a two-axis slide, two long clamping plates, and a transfer frame 18, which serves as the transfer destination. The conveyor belt carries a single row of bottles to be transferred, serving as the transfer starting point. Furthermore, the conveyor belt is equipped with a first distance sensor that senses when a bottle has reached the transfer trigger position. In this embodiment, the first distance sensor is connected to the side of the conveyor belt 1, but other configurations are also possible.
[0045] See also Figure 2 The two-axis slide is connected to two (or more) cylinder groups. This embodiment uses two cylinder groups as an example. Each cylinder group includes a first movable plate 3 on one side and a second movable plate 4 on the other side. The movable plates can be extended and retracted by the cylinder group. A first long clamping plate 5 and a second long clamping plate 6 are respectively connected to the first movable plate 3 and the second movable plate 4 of each cylinder group. The first and second long clamping plates 5 and 6 are driven to open and close to loosen and clamp the bottle.
[0046] Each cylinder group includes a cylinder body 13 and a guide rod 14. On opposite sides of the cylinder body 13 are openings arranged diagonally in a rectangular pattern. These openings are located on two diagonals of the same rectangle. That is, the openings on both sides of the same cylinder group are located on two different diagonals of the same rectangle. Furthermore, the openings of two cylinders on the same side are also located on two different diagonals of the same rectangle. The guide rods 14 mate with the openings and are connected to the first movable plate 3 or the second movable plate 4.
[0047] Specifically, the two-axis slide in this embodiment includes a first slide rail 7 movably connected to a first slide 8. A second slide rail 9 is connected to the first slide 8. The second slide rail 9 is movably connected to a second slide 10. The second slide 10 is connected to the cylinder group. The first slide rail 7 is arranged in a direction parallel to the ground, and the second slide rail 9 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the ground.
[0048] The transfer device of this embodiment also includes a load-bearing plate 11 connected to the second slide 10 of the two-axis slide, and a connecting plate 12 connected thereto. Connecting plate 12 is connected to the cylinder body of each cylinder group. Preferably, reinforcing plates (not shown) are provided perpendicular to load-bearing plate 11, respectively connecting to load-bearing plate 11 and connecting plate 12, to enhance the load-carrying capacity and stability of load-bearing plate 11.
[0049] Preferably, this embodiment further includes a first extension plate 15 and a second extension plate 16. The first movable plate 3 is connected to the first long clamping plate 5 via the first extension plate 15, and the second movable plate 4 is connected to the second long clamping plate 6 via the second extension plate 16. In addition, a second distance sensor is connected to the first extension plate 15 for detecting whether there are any transferred bottles in the transfer frame 18.
[0050] Preferably, a buffer strip 17 is connected to the opposite side of the first long clamping plate 5 and the second long clamping plate 6. The buffer strip 17 can be made of a flexible material such as silicone to reduce the force applied to the bottle during the clamping process.
[0051] In this embodiment, the distance sensor is implemented by a commercially available laser sensor, but may actually be implemented by other sensors with similar functions. The cylinder group in this embodiment may be implemented by a commercially available cylinder or electric cylinder.
[0052] The working principle of this transfer device is:
[0053] See also Figure 3 At the first position, the first distance sensor 2 detects that the bottle has passed the trigger position, indicating that a batch of bottles to be transferred (4 in this embodiment) have all entered the clamping range of the long clamping plate. The two cylinder groups are activated to drive the long clamping plate to stably and flexibly clamp the batch of bottles.
[0054] See also Figure 4 In the second position, the bottle body after clamping is lifted and moved to the right side of the figure to above the transfer frame 18 under the movement of the two-axis slide. During the movement, since there is a distance between the second distance sensor and the bottle body in the direction parallel to the ground, the first slide 8 in the two-axis slide is configured to stop after the second distance sensor detects the bottle body.
[0055] See also Figure 5In the third position, the second slide 10 moves longitudinally to place the bottle into the transfer frame 18. The two cylinder groups release the long clamps and return to the first position. The state at this time is as follows: Figure 6 shown.
[0056] It should be noted that the program relied upon by the sensors of this device to control the actuators to achieve transfer belongs to the prior art, and this utility model does not make any improvements to the control process or method.
[0057] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
