Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal can stacking systems, in particular to a pneumatic arrangement mechanism for metal cans. Background Art

[0002] During the stacking process of conventional metal cans, a clamping mechanism is required to place the metal cans on a pallet. However, this method can easily damage thinner metal cans, and the action of lifting the metal cans and lowering and placing them on the pallet also has a certain impact on the stacking efficiency of the metal cans. For stacking efficiency considerations, the simpler the motion trajectory of the above-mentioned layout mechanism, the higher the layout efficiency will be. It is also limited by the way the metal cans are stacked and needs to be adaptively adjusted according to the situation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problem that the motion trajectory of the above-mentioned clamping mechanism is relatively complex and the efficiency is low, the utility model provides a pneumatic placement mechanism for metal cans.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A pneumatic placement mechanism for metal cans includes a support frame provided on a metal can transport line, wherein drive rail beams are horizontally provided on both sides of the support frame in the direction of transport of the metal cans, and the length direction of the drive rail beams is parallel to the direction of transport of the metal cans, and a guide rail is also provided parallel to one side of the drive rail beam, and a movable support beam is provided on the guide rail;

[0006] The two support beams are provided with connecting beams at intervals along the direction of transporting the metal cans, and the connecting beams are horizontally provided with a lifting reference frame that can move in the vertical direction. The lifting reference frame is provided with a number of pneumatic adsorption rods in a direction perpendicular to the direction of transporting the metal cans, and the highest position that the pneumatic adsorption rods can reach is higher than the metal can, and the lowest position that can be reached is lower than the lower surface of the metal can.

[0007] The metal cans at both ends are adsorbed by pneumatic adsorption rods, while the metal cans in the middle do not need to be adsorbed. Therefore, the structure is relatively simple, and the metal cans can be placed on the pallet by simply moving horizontally. The lifting and lowering process of the pneumatic adsorption rod can then be carried out during the transportation and replenishment of the metal cans to their original position, which can avoid affecting the stacking efficiency.

[0008] In order to perform adsorption and grabbing of staggered metal cans, a plurality of pneumatic adsorption rods on the same lifting reference frame are arranged in two rows along the transport direction of the metal cans, and the horizontal straight-line distances between two adjacent pneumatic adsorption rods are the same.

[0009] In order to be suitable for closely arranged metal cans, the linear distance between adjacent pneumatic suction rods is the same as the diameter of the metal can. In this case, if any one pneumatic suction rod is aligned with the metal can, the other pneumatic suction rods can also be aligned.

[0010] In order to match the staggered metal cans, the two rows of pneumatic adsorption rods are staggered along a direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the metal cans.

[0011] The specific structure of the above-mentioned driving rail beam is that the driving rail beam includes a crossbeam and a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor and a synchronous wheel arranged at both ends of the crossbeam, and a belt is arranged on the output end of the driving motor and the synchronous wheel.

[0012] The guide rail cooperates with the support beam in such a way that the guide rail is cylindrical, a plurality of guide wheels cooperating with the guide rail are arranged at intervals along the length direction below the support beam, and a connecting plate is provided on the side of the support beam which can be detachably connected to any horizontal section of the belt.

[0013] The specific structure of the lifting reference frame is as follows: it includes a vertical reference plate and a horizontal reference plate. The vertical reference plate is connected to the connecting beam via a vertical telescopic drive mechanism. The horizontal reference plate is connected to the vertical reference plate via vertical waist-shaped holes. The pneumatic suction rod is connected to the horizontal reference plate via waist-shaped holes arranged along the direction of metal can transportation. The pneumatic suction rod can be adjusted in two directions, thereby improving applicability.

[0014] In order to adapt to the needs, the connecting beam can be fixed to the support beam at any position along the direction of transport of the metal cans. After adjusting the spacing, it can be used for metal cans of different specifications and can meet different single-layer stacking requirements.

[0015] As a preferred solution, when any one pneumatic adsorption rod is aligned with the metal can, the other pneumatic adsorption rods are also aligned with the metal can.

[0016] In order to improve applicability, the fixed positions of the lifting reference frame and the connecting beam perpendicular to the transport direction of the metal cans can be adjusted.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is a pneumatic placement mechanism for metal cans. Different from the existing clamping method, the present device can respectively set a number of pneumatic adsorption rods to adsorb and grab the metal cans at both ends by setting two spaced connecting beams. Then, all the metal cans in the entire layer can be transported to the top of the pallet by lateral movement, which is more efficient. The setting position of the above-mentioned pneumatic adsorption rods can be adjusted according to needs, and the applicability is stronger. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] like Figure 1 The pneumatic arrangement mechanism for metal cans shown in the figure includes a support frame 1 arranged on a metal can transport line. The support frame 1 needs to be arranged to avoid the transport path of the metal cans on the metal can transport line to avoid blocking it. Then, the support frame 1 is provided with drive rails 2 horizontally on both sides of the metal can transport direction. The purpose of setting the drive rails 2 is to provide power and guide rails, and the length direction of the drive rails 2 is parallel to the metal can transport direction to ensure that the drive path can be arranged along the metal can transport direction to avoid disrupting the arrangement of the metal cans, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a guide rail 3 is also provided in parallel on one side of the driving rail beam 2, and a movable support beam 4 is provided on the guide rail 3. The specific arrangement of the above structure is as follows:

[0029] First, if Figure 2As shown, the specific structure of the above-mentioned driving rail beam 21 is that the driving rail beam 21 includes a crossbeam 21 and a driving mechanism 22, wherein the driving mechanism 22 includes a driving motor and a synchronous wheel arranged at both ends of the crossbeam 21, and a belt is arranged on the output end of the driving motor and the synchronous wheel. After the driving motor and the synchronous wheel are set at separate ends, they are connected and rotated through a belt. The above-mentioned belt can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor. It only needs to fix any position of the horizontal section of the above-mentioned belt with other structures to drive the reciprocating motion along a straight line on the horizontal plane.

[0030] For this reason, Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the guide rail 3 cooperates with the support beam 4 in the following manner: the guide rail 3 is cylindrical, and a plurality of guide wheels 5 cooperating with the guide rail 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction below the support beam 4. The guide wheels 5 are groove wheels, which can be stuck on the cylindrical guide rail 3 and move, and the above arrangement is not easy to deviate from the track, and the power drive method of the above structure is that a connecting plate 6 is provided on the side of the support beam 4 and can be detachably connected to any horizontal section of the belt. Therefore, it is only necessary to turn on the above drive motor, and the above belt can drive the connecting plate 6 to move synchronously during the rotation process, and can move back and forth along the same straight line direction.

[0031] Afterwards, if Figure 3-6 As shown, the two support beams 4 are provided with connecting beams 7 at intervals along the direction of metal can transportation. The length direction of the connecting beams 7 is perpendicular to the direction of metal can transportation, and the connecting beams 7 are arranged horizontally, and the two connecting beams 7 are both horizontally provided with a lifting reference frame 8 that can move in the vertical direction. Since the connecting beams 7 can move synchronously with the support beams 4, the above-mentioned lifting reference frame 8 can also move synchronously, that is, it can move back and forth along the direction of metal can transportation. Afterwards, in order to be able to adsorb and fix the metal can, the lifting reference frame 8 is provided with a number of pneumatic adsorption rods 9 along the direction perpendicular to the direction of metal can transportation, and the highest position that the pneumatic adsorption rods 9 can reach is higher than the metal can, and the lowest position that can reach is lower than the lower surface of the metal can, that is, after it is lifted up with the lifting reference frame 8, the above-mentioned pneumatic adsorption rods 9 will not affect the normal transportation of the metal can, and after the pneumatic adsorption rods 9 are lowered with the lifting reference frame 8, the above-mentioned pneumatic adsorption rods 9 can extend into the metal can and adsorb the lower bottom surface of the metal can, thereby adsorbing and fixing it.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the above structure, the lifting of the pneumatic adsorption rod 9 is only for fixing the metal can, and there is no need to lift the metal can to drive the metal can to perform translational movement on the horizontal plane.

[0033] The above structure can be used to adsorb the metal cans at both ends through the pneumatic adsorption rod 9, while the metal cans in the middle position do not need to be adsorbed. Therefore, the structure is relatively simple, and the metal cans can be placed on the pallet by simply moving horizontally. Afterwards, the lifting process of the pneumatic adsorption rod 9 can be carried out during the transportation and replenishment of the metal cans to their original position, which can avoid affecting the stacking efficiency.

[0034] Since metal cans have various specifications, the following structures need to be set up for applicability considerations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the specific structure of the lifting reference frame 8 is that the lifting reference frame 8 includes a vertical reference plate 81 and a horizontal reference plate 82. The vertical reference plate 81 is connected to the connecting beam 7 through a vertically arranged telescopic drive mechanism 22, and the horizontal reference plate 82 is connected to the vertical reference plate 81 through a vertical waist-shaped hole. The pneumatic adsorption rod 9 is connected to the horizontal reference plate 82 through a waist-shaped hole arranged along the transportation direction of the metal can. The pneumatic adsorption rod 9 can be adjusted in two directions, thereby improving applicability. After switching to metal cans of different specifications, the above parameters can be adjusted according to needs, and after fixing, the above structure can also be adjusted according to the usage to ensure that the above pneumatic adsorption rod 9 can accurately extend into the metal can.

[0035] Similar to the above structure, the connecting beam 7 can be fixed to the support beam 4 at any position along the can transport direction to accommodate adaptability. Adjusting the spacing allows for adaptability to different can sizes and accommodate varying single-layer stacking requirements. This allows for the transport and absorption of cans of varying sizes to be met.

[0036] Finally, to improve applicability, the fixed position of the lifting frame and the connecting beam 7 perpendicular to the direction of transport of the metal cans can be adjusted. This adjustment can change the travel of the lifting frame, that is, the metal cans can be sucked from different positions and moved to different locations, which can be set according to needs.

[0037] It should be noted that when any one pneumatic adsorption rod 9 is aligned with the metal can, the other pneumatic adsorption rods 9 are also aligned with the metal can.

[0038] For the sake of stability, the arrangement of the metal cans is not necessarily horizontal or vertical, but staggered. In order to absorb and grab the staggered metal cans, the pneumatic suction rods 9 on the same lifting base frame 8 are arranged in two rows along the direction of transportation of the metal cans, and the horizontal straight-line spacing between two adjacent pneumatic suction rods 9 is the same. Figure 4 、 5As shown, in order to be suitable for closely arranged metal cans, the linear distance between adjacent pneumatic adsorption rods 9 is the same as the diameter of the metal can. In this case, if any one pneumatic adsorption rod 9 is aligned with the metal can, the other pneumatic adsorption rods 9 can also be aligned.

[0039] In other words, to accommodate staggered cans, the two rows of pneumatic suction rods 9 are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the can transport direction. To ensure access to the staggered cans, the same lifting base frame 8 can be used to position and position different pneumatic suction rods 9 according to can specifications. When changing can specifications, simply replace the lifting base frame 8 accordingly.
