Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic batching lines, in particular to a batching line with robots for unpacking and breaking small packages. Background Art

[0002] In modern production processes, the design of automated unpacking and batching lines is crucial for improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. However, with the continuous innovation of domestic robotics technology, new robots have become capable of more efficient material handling and handling, opening up the possibility of developing more intelligent and automated unpacking systems.

[0003] However, current robotic unpacking operations are usually limited to single materials. On batching lines involving multiple raw materials, robots find it difficult to respond efficiently and flexibly to complex production needs. At the same time, the robot's arm span limitations and inconsistent material stacks affect unpacking efficiency and accuracy, resulting in reduced production efficiency and material loss. Moreover, when unstacking multiple materials, the robot needs to grab materials at different stack positions according to the recipe, but the existing system's synchronous processing capabilities are insufficient, affecting batching efficiency and consistency.

[0004] Based on this, the utility model designs a robot small package breaking and batching line to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a robot-assisted small package unpacking and breaking batching line to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0013] The utility model realizes an efficient operation process without secondary measurement through the mutual cooperation of the robot main body, walking mechanism and visual monitor.

[0017] 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 only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] See also Figure 1 - Figure 2 Example 1 is described. The figure shows a robot small package unpacking and bag breaking and batching line, including a robot main body 1, a robot gripper 2 movably connected to the robot main body 1, a visual monitor 3 fixedly installed on the right side of the robot gripper 2, a sending bin 4 is provided on the right side of the robot main body 1, a dust collector 5 is connected to the right side of the sending bin 4, a cutting mechanism 6 is connected to the left side of the sending bin 4, a pneumatic conveying component 7 is provided at the bottom of the sending bin 4, a robot walking mechanism 8 is connected to the bottom transmission of the robot main body 1, four groups of positioning mechanisms 9 are arranged at equal intervals on the front side of the robot main body 1, a safety fence 10 is provided on the periphery of the working area of ​​the robot main body 1, a belt conveyor 11 is provided on the front side of the sending bin 4, and a waste bag box 12 is provided on the right side of the belt conveyor 11.

[0020] See also Figure 2 , the front side of the safety fence 10 shown in the figure is provided with an opening for a forklift to enter, the left and right ends of the opening of the safety fence 10 are fixedly connected with a beam grating 13, and the right side of the safety fence 10 is provided with an electric control box 14;

[0021] In this embodiment, since the raw materials in the current industry are usually pre-measured into small packages such as 25 kg or 50 kg, there is no need for secondary measurement. The raw materials are directly delivered by the robot body 1, the robot walking mechanism 8 and the visual monitor 3 according to the formula. The robot gripper 2 grabs the bag, the cutter mechanism 6 breaks the bag and sends it to the sending bin 4. Then, the sending bin 4 directly sends the raw materials to the next process, such as the mixing process, through the pneumatic conveying component 7, which also avoids secondary measurement. Then, a manually operated forklift places the four materials on the corresponding four sets of positioning mechanisms 9 in sequence and places them in the specified positions. The robot body 1 is controlled by the program and cooperates with the robot gripper 2, the visual monitor 3 and the robot walking mechanism 8 to grab the material bags at the raw material stations on the corresponding positioning mechanisms 9 according to the formula, one bag at a time. The grabbed material bags are broken by the cutter mechanism 6 and discharged into the sending bin 4. At this time, the dust collector 5 remains in the open state. After the material is discharged, the material bags are placed on the belt conveyor 11 and finally sent to the waste bag box 12.

[0022] It should be noted that during the process of manually operating a forklift to load materials, the robot body 1 is prohibited from working. Similarly, when the robot body 1 is working, personnel are not allowed to enter its working area. In order to further ensure safety, a light barrier 13 is set to prevent accidental entry. Once someone enters the detection area of ​​the light barrier 13, the robot will automatically stop running. In addition, the recipe input and the overall operation of the line can be controlled through the electrical control box 14.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] See also Figure 1 Example 2 is described. This embodiment further illustrates Example 1. In the figure, the visual monitor 3 adopts an AI visual system, and the AI ​​visual system is provided with an AI intelligent program.

[0025] Furthermore, the electric control box 14 is electrically connected to the robot body 1 , the robot gripper 2 , the visual monitor 3 , the dust collector 5 , the cutter mechanism 6 , the pneumatic conveying assembly 7 , the robot walking mechanism 8 , the positioning mechanism 9 , the belt conveyor 11 and the reflected grating 13 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the visual monitor 3 uses the AI ​​vision system to enable the robot gripper 2 to more accurately grasp the required number of material bags and identify the damage of the material bags, thereby avoiding sending the damaged material bags into the sending bin 4. In addition, the AI ​​vision system can also monitor the placement of the material bags in real time to ensure that the material bags are accurately placed on the corresponding positioning mechanism 9.

[0027] It should be noted that the AI ​​intelligent program can automatically adjust the proportion of ingredients and the amount of grabbing according to different production needs, and prompt refilling through alarms. At the same time, it can continuously improve the accuracy and efficiency of ingredients through learning and optimization, and has a self-diagnosis function that can detect and report equipment failures in a timely manner, thereby reducing the time of production interruptions.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] See also Figure 2 Example 3 is described. This embodiment further illustrates Example 2. In the figure, the bottom end of the dust collector 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe at the top of the sending bin 4, and the dust collector 5 is connected to the top of the inner cavity of the sending bin 4;

[0030] Furthermore, the output end on the right side of the belt conveyor 11 corresponds to the top of the waste bag box 12 , and the robot walking mechanism 8 and the four sets of positioning mechanisms 9 are arranged in parallel.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the material bags are broken by the cutter mechanism 6 and discharged into the delivery bin 4, the dust collector 5 is simultaneously activated to ensure that dust generated during the material discharge process is effectively collected to prevent environmental pollution. This ensures that the exhausted air meets environmental standards, facilitating daily maintenance and cleaning. The belt conveyor 11 ensures the smooth transfer of waste materials, and the waste bag box 12 collects them uniformly.

[0032] It should be noted that the robot walking mechanism 8 is used to drive the robot body 1 to move quickly and accurately to the positions of each positioning mechanism 9 to grab and deliver materials. The setting of four groups of positioning mechanisms 9 allows the robot to process multiple different materials at the same time, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the batching line. At the same time, the motion trajectory and speed of the robot walking mechanism 8 can be adjusted according to actual production needs.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
