Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food and medicine packaging machinery and equipment, in particular to a container taking and placing platform. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the centering clamping system is a filling machine widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. It is mainly used to center and clamp pre-filled needle bottles during the filling process to prevent the bottles from tilting and causing errors in the filling. Similarly, the clamping system is also used during the weighing and sampling process to ensure the verticality of the bottles and ensure the accuracy of the weighing back and forth movement.

[0003] The working process of the filling system is roughly as follows: the containers in the nest box are transported to the material removal position via the conveyor line. The material removal mechanism removes the containers row by row or as a whole onto the XY platform. The XY platform is then clamped and filling begins on the first row. After the first row is completed, the second row is filled by moving the XY platform. After that, the filling of all containers on the XY platform is completed in sequence. The containers on the XY platform are then released and removed by the material removal mechanism and returned to the nest box on the conveyor line. The prior art, such as a filling and plugging system with patent number CN219029955U, relies on a drive under the movable plate to clamp the containers. The cylinder is mounted on the XY platform. This causes the cylinder to appear directly within the clean area of ​​the O-RABS or isolator. If the cylinder leaks, it will pose a risk to the clean area. Another embodiment, although the drive is located below the operating table, uses an anisotropic guide rail and a connecting rod mechanism to enable the movable plate to clamp the containers while the XY platform moves. When the XY platform is not moving, the movable plate cannot move independently, making it impossible to pick and place containers on the XY platform. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a container picking and placing platform, which solves the problem of picking and placing containers on an XY platform without affecting the operating environment through a driving mechanism.

[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows: a container picking and placing platform includes a placing platform movable along a first direction, a clamping plate provided on the placing platform, a hole provided on the clamping plate for placing the container, and the clamping plate can move relative to the placing platform for clamping / loosening the container; a driven member for driving the clamping plate to move is provided on the placing platform, an active member is provided along the first direction on one side of the placing platform, the active member is slidably connected to the driven member, the active member is connected to a driving component, the driving component can drive the active member to move along a second direction, and the movement of the active member is used to enable the driven member to drive the clamping plate to move.

[0006] The container is transferred to the placement platform through a transfer mechanism, and the container passes through the hole of the clamp on the placement platform. The container is clamped or loosened through the movement of the clamp. Considering the requirements of the operating environment, the drive does not directly contact the clamp. At the same time, considering that the container on the placement platform needs to be ejected and then picked up and placed by a robot, the prior art adopts the method of not moving the placement platform, and the lifting mechanism moves along the first direction and the second direction. The lifting mechanism can eject the container on the placement platform, and then the ejected container is taken out by the robot. In this case, the robot picks up and places all the containers on the placement platform, and multiple material picking and placing points are required, which increases the complexity of the control program.

[0007] The utility model selects that the placement platform moves in the first direction and the jacking mechanism moves in the second direction, thereby reducing the picking and placing points of the manipulator; considering that the container picking and placing platform needs to move during use and needs to independently complete clamping and loosening; the utility model's follower is on the placement platform, and when the placement platform moves, the follower also moves together, so that the position of the clamping plate placed on the placement platform is controllable relative to the follower position, and the movement between the follower and the clamping plate is not affected by the movement of the placement platform. At the same time, the placement platform is movable. In order to ensure that the follower and the fixed driving mechanism can realize transmission, the active member at the output end of the driving mechanism is moved in a direction different from the movement of the placement platform, driving the follower to move, so that the follower drives the clamping plate to move, realizing clamping / loosening of the container on the placement platform, solving the problem of the drive mechanism not affecting the operating environment and reducing the picking and placing points of the manipulator.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the follower is placed on the side of the splint, the follower includes a rocker rod rotatably connected to the placement platform, one end of the follower contacts the splint, and the other end of the follower is slidably connected to the active member.

[0009] Taking into account that the container needs to be partially pushed out from the placement platform when taking it from the placement platform, the lifting mechanism is arranged under the placement platform. Taking into account that the transmission between the driving mechanism and the clamping plate should avoid the bottom of the placement platform, the follower is arranged on the side of the clamping plate; the follower includes a rocker rod, one end of which is slidably connected to the active member. When the active member is actuated, the rocker rod rotates so that the rocker rod contacts the clamping plate. As the active member moves, the clamping plate moves relative to the placement platform, thereby clamping or releasing the container on the placement platform.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: the follower is provided with a cam which is in sliding cooperation with the clamping plate.

[0011] When the active member drives the driven wheel to rotate, the cam slides along the clamping plate, squeezing or stretching the clamping plate to complete the clamping or loosening of the container.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is that an end of the driven member close to the active member forms an acute angle / obtuse angle with the second direction.

[0013] Only when the follower is subjected to uneven force in the second direction will the follower rotate when the active member moves along the second direction, thereby driving the splint to move.

[0014] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the driving assembly includes a motor and a connecting rod mechanism connected in sequence, there are two driving assemblies, the connecting rod mechanisms are respectively placed on both sides of the placement platform, and the active component is placed between the connecting rod mechanisms.

[0015] The placement platform moves along the first direction, and a driven member for sliding connection with the active member is placed on the placement platform. The active member can move along the second direction. When the active member drives the driven member on the placement platform, it is not affected by the movement of the placement platform. The active member can transmit the driven member to realize the movement of the splint through the active member; in order for the active member to realize the movement along the second direction, the motor drives the connecting rod mechanism to move, and the active member is set between the connecting rod mechanisms. The active member can realize stable movement in the second direction through the swing of the connecting rod mechanism.

[0016] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the clamping plate comprises an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate which moves relative to the upper clamping plate.

[0017] The splint consists of two layers, an upper splint and a lower splint. The relative movement between the upper splint and the lower splint allows for uniform force on both sides of the container, which not only reduces container breakage, but also allows the container to be controlled in a vertical state due to the relative movement of the upper splint and the lower splint, making filling more convenient and aesthetically pleasing.

[0018] A further technical solution of the present invention is that: driven members are provided on both sides of the clamping plate for respectively driving the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate to move.

[0019] There are two driven members which are respectively connected to the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate. The relative movement of the driven members drives the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate to move relative to each other.

[0020] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a spring for moving the clamping plate is provided between the placement platform and the clamping plate.

[0021] After the splint is moved relative to the placement platform through the follower, the container is clamped. When the container needs to be released, it can be achieved by the follower driving the splint to move in the opposite direction or by spring reset. Conversely, after the splint is moved relative to the placement platform through the follower, the container is released. When the container needs to be clamped, it can be achieved by the follower driving the splint to move in the opposite direction or by spring reset.

[0022] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a lifting mechanism that can move along the second direction is provided below the placement platform, and the lifting mechanism is used to push the container out of the clamping plate.

[0023] When the hole pitch is small, when you need to take a container from the placement platform, you need to push the container out first. The lifting mechanism is located under the placement platform to push the container out. Considering that the lifting mechanism needs to meet the needs of pushing containers out of a row of containers one by one, such as kicking out waste, the lifting mechanism can move along the second direction.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the container is transferred to the placement platform by the transfer mechanism, the container passes through the hole of the clamping plate on the placement platform, and the container is clamped or loosened by the movement of the clamping plate. Taking into account the requirements of the operating environment, the drive does not directly contact the clamping plate. At the same time, taking into account that the container on the placement platform needs to be ejected and then picked up and placed by a robot, the prior art adopts the method of not moving the placement platform, and the jacking mechanism moves along the first direction and the second direction. The jacking mechanism can eject the container on the placement platform and then take out the ejected container through the robot. In this case, the robot picks up and places all the containers on the placement platform, and multiple material picking and placing points are required, which increases the complexity of the control program. The present invention selects the placement platform to move in the first direction and the jacking mechanism to move in the second direction, reducing the number of material picking and placing points of the robot. The position of the clamping plate placed on the placing platform is controllable relative to the position of the follower, and the movement between the follower and the clamping plate is not affected by the movement of the placing platform. At the same time, the placing platform is movable. In order to ensure that the follower and the fixed driving mechanism can realize transmission, the active member at the output end of the driving mechanism is moved in a direction different from the movement of the placing platform to drive the follower to move, thereby driving the follower to move, and the follower drives the clamping plate to move, thereby realizing the clamping / relaxation of the container on the placing platform, solving the problem of the driving mechanism not affecting the operating environment and reducing the material picking and placing points of the manipulator.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] Figure 1-7 A container picking and placing platform is shown, comprising a placement platform 1 that can move along a first direction, a clamping plate provided on the placement platform 1, a hole provided on the clamping plate for placing the container, and the clamping plate can move relative to the placement platform 1 for clamping / loosening the container; a driven member 2 for driving the clamping plate to move is provided on the placement platform 1, an active member 3 is provided on one side of the placement platform 1 along the first direction, the active member 3 is slidably connected to the driven member 2, the active member 3 is connected to the driving component 4, the driving component 4 can drive the active member 3 to move along the second direction, and the movement of the active member 3 is used to enable the driven member 2 to drive the clamping plate to move.

[0043] In this embodiment, the follower 2 is placed on the side of the splint, and the follower 2 includes a rocker rod 20 rotatably connected to the placement platform 1. One end of the follower 2 contacts the splint, and the other end of the follower 2 is slidably connected to the active member 3.

[0044] Taking into account that the container needs to be partially pushed out from the placement platform when taking it from the placement platform, the lifting mechanism is set under the placement platform. Taking into account that the transmission between the driving mechanism and the clamping plate should avoid the bottom of the placement platform, the follower is set on the side of the clamping plate; the follower includes a rocker rod 20, one end of which is slidably connected to the active member. When the active member is actuated, the rocker rod 20 rotates so that the rocker rod 20 contacts the clamping plate. As the active member moves, the clamping plate moves relative to the placement platform, thereby clamping or releasing the container on the placement platform.

[0045] In this embodiment, the splint includes an upper splint and a lower splint, and the follower is placed on both sides of the placement platform. The follower includes a parallel section arranged parallel to the splint and a transmission section connected to the parallel section and extending outward. The transmission section slides with the active member, and the parallel section slides with the splint. When the active member moves along the second direction, the follower will rotate, completing the relative movement of the upper splint and the lower splint, thereby achieving the clamping or loosening of the container.

[0046] In this embodiment, a cam is provided at one end of the follower, and a protrusion 16 is provided on the side of the clamp. When the active member drives the follower to rotate, the cam slides along the protrusion 16 and squeezes or stretches the protrusion, so that the clamp clamps or releases the container on the placement platform.

[0047] In this embodiment, the follower 2 is provided with a cam 21 that is in sliding engagement with the clamping plate.

[0048] When the active member drives the driven wheel to rotate, the cam slides along the clamping plate, squeezing or stretching the clamping plate to complete the clamping or loosening of the container.

[0049] In this embodiment, the end of the driven member 2 close to the driving member 3 forms an acute angle / obtuse angle with the second direction.

[0050] Only when the follower is subjected to uneven force in the second direction will the follower rotate when the active member moves along the second direction, thereby driving the splint to move.

[0051] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 4 includes a motor 41 and a connecting rod mechanism 42 connected in sequence. There are two driving assemblies 4, and the connecting rod mechanisms 42 are respectively placed on both sides of the placement platform 1, and the active component 3 is placed between the connecting rod mechanisms 42.

[0052] The placement platform moves along the first direction, and a driven member for sliding connection with the active member is placed on the placement platform. The active member can move along the second direction. When the active member drives the driven member on the placement platform, it is not affected by the movement of the placement platform. The active member can transmit the driven member to realize the movement of the splint through the active member; in order for the active member to realize the movement along the second direction, the motor drives the connecting rod mechanism to move, and the active member is set between the connecting rod mechanisms. The active member can realize stable movement in the second direction through the swing of the connecting rod mechanism.

[0053] In this embodiment, the motor is outside the sterile area, and is connected to the active component in the sterile area through a connecting rod mechanism to achieve transmission.

[0054] In this embodiment, a lifting mechanism for ejecting the container from the placement platform is provided under the placement platform. In order to avoid interference between the transmission part in the drive assembly and the lifting mechanism, the connecting rod mechanism is placed on both sides of the placement platform, and the two motors are used to drive the connecting rod mechanisms on both sides respectively, thereby realizing the movement of the active member placed between the connecting rod mechanisms along the second direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the clamping plate includes an upper clamping plate 11 and a lower clamping plate 12 that moves relative to the upper clamping plate 11 .

[0056] The splint consists of two layers, an upper splint and a lower splint. The relative movement between the upper splint and the lower splint allows for uniform force on both sides of the container, which not only reduces container breakage, but also allows the container to be controlled in a vertical state due to the relative movement of the upper splint and the lower splint, making filling more convenient and aesthetically pleasing.

[0057] In this embodiment, driven members 2 are provided on both sides of the clamping plate for respectively driving the upper clamping plate 11 and the lower clamping plate 12 to move.

[0058] There are two driven members which are respectively connected to the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate. The relative movement of the driven members drives the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate to move relative to each other.

[0059] In this embodiment, the follower is arranged along the second direction and forms an acute angle with the second direction. The ends of the follower and the active member in contact are far away from each other. When the active member moves along the second direction, it can drive the follower to rotate relative to it, thereby realizing the relative movement of the upper splint and the lower splint.

[0060] In this embodiment, a spring 13 for moving the clamping plate is provided between the placement platform 1 and the clamping plate.

[0061] After the splint is moved relative to the placement platform through the follower, the container is clamped. When the container needs to be released, it can be achieved by the follower driving the splint to move in the opposite direction or by spring reset. Conversely, after the splint is moved relative to the placement platform through the follower, the container is released. When the container needs to be clamped, it can be achieved by the follower driving the splint to move in the opposite direction or by spring reset.

[0062] In this embodiment, the spring is arranged along the first direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the placement platform includes a fixed plate 14 and a mounting plate 15, the clamping plate is placed between the fixed plate 14 and the mounting plate 15, the protrusion 16 is placed on both sides of the clamping plate and can extend from the accommodating space between the fixed plate and the mounting plate, and the protrusion 16 can contact or slide in connection with the follower.

[0064] In this embodiment, a lifting mechanism 5 movable along the second direction is provided below the placement platform 1 , and the lifting mechanism 5 is used to push the container out of the clamping plate.

[0065] When the hole pitch is small, when you need to take a container from the placement platform, you need to push the container out first. The lifting mechanism is located under the placement platform to push the container out. Considering that the lifting mechanism needs to meet the needs of pushing containers out of a row of containers one by one, such as kicking out waste, the lifting mechanism can move along the second direction.

[0066] In this embodiment, since the lifting mechanism is below the placement platform, in order to avoid interference between the driving assembly and the lifting mechanism, the driving assembly is placed on the side of the placement platform.

[0067] In this embodiment, a beam sensor 6 for detecting the height of the container is provided on the side of the placement platform 1 .

[0068] The placement platform needs to move in the first direction to fill or lift the containers on the placement platform in sequence; Figure 4 a to Figure 4 b is a diagram of two different states of the placement platform before and after it moves in the first direction.

[0069] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the container is transferred to the placement platform through the transfer mechanism, and the container passes through the hole of the clamping plate on the placement platform, and the container is clamped or released through the movement of the clamping plate. Taking into account the requirements of the operating environment, the drive does not directly contact the clamping plate. At the same time, taking into account the need to move the container picking and placing platform during use and can independently complete clamping and release; the follower of the utility model is on the placement platform, and when the placement platform moves, the follower also moves together, so that the position of the clamping plate placed on the placement platform is controllable relative to the follower position, and the movement between the follower and the clamping plate is not affected by the movement of the placement platform. At the same time, the placement platform is movable. In order to ensure that the follower and the fixed driving mechanism can realize transmission, the active member at the output end of the driving mechanism is moved in a direction different from the movement of the placement platform, driving the follower to move, so that the follower drives the clamping plate to move, realizing the clamping / relaxation of the container on the placement platform, solving the problem of taking and placing the container on the XY platform without affecting the operating environment.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
