[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0038] First, combine Figures 1 to 5 The feeding mechanism of the double-head filling production line according to the embodiment of the present invention is described, which is used for feeding filling bottles and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the loading mechanism of the double-head filling production line of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a loading module 1, a material transport module 2, a posture adjustment module 3 and a double-head output module 4.

[0040] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the loading module 1, the transport module 2, and the dual-head output module 4 are connected to each other in sequence; the loading module 1 receives the filling bottles 5 transported from the outside and transports the filling bottles 5 to the transport module 2; the posture adjustment module 3 is set on the transport module 2, and the posture adjustment module 3 adjusts the posture of the filling bottles 5; the transport module 2 transports the posture-adjusted filling bottles 5 to the dual-head output module 4, and the dual-head output module 4 outputs the filling bottles 5 in pairs to the next workstation. The loading module 1 and the transport module 2 transport the filling bottles 5 horizontally, and the posture adjustment module 3 adjusts the posture of the filling bottles 5 to ensure that each filling bottle 5 has a consistent posture and enters the dual-head output module 4 with the filling port facing upward. The dual-head output module 4 adjusts the horizontally transported filling bottles 5 to vertical transport, facilitating the subsequent filling process; the dual-head output module 4 outputs the filling bottles 5 in pairs, facilitating subsequent pair filling; the structure between the modules is compact, and the automated transportation greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs and safety hazards.

[0041] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the loading module 1 includes: a frame 11, a step loading mechanism 12 and a storage bin 13;

[0042] The step loading mechanism 12 and the storage bin 13 are arranged on the frame 11, and the frame 11 supports the entire loading module 1 to ensure the stability of the step loading mechanism 12 and the storage bin 13;

[0043] The storage bin 13 is connected to the input end of the step feeding mechanism 12, and the storage bin 13 stores the filling bottles 5 to ensure the continuous transportation of the filling bottles 5;

[0044] The output end of the stepped loading mechanism 12 is connected to the transport module 2. The stepped loading mechanism 12 loads the filled bottles 5 in the storage bin 13 to the transport module 2 in a stepped manner. The stepped loading mechanism 12 is an existing loading mechanism. It transports the filled bottles 5 in the storage bin 13 to the transport module 2 in an orderly manner through a step-by-step lifting method. It has strong adaptability, good stability and high loading efficiency.

[0045] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage bin 13 is sloped and has an approaching side and a distal side. The approaching side connects to the conveying end of the step-loading mechanism 12, while the distal side is spaced apart from the step-loading mechanism 12. The distal side is opposite the approaching side and has a lower vertical height than the distal side. This sloped design allows materials to naturally slide from the distal side (higher end) to the approaching side (lower end) under the influence of gravity, without the need for additional propulsion. This significantly saves time and manpower, improves material handling efficiency, and facilitates docking with the step-loading mechanism 12.

[0046] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the material transport module 2 includes: a conveyor belt 21 and a panel 22;

[0047] The conveyor belt 21 is connected to the loading module 1, and the output end of the conveyor belt 21 is connected to the double-head output module 4. The conveyor belt 21 transports the filling bottles 5, continuously and stably transporting the filling bottles 5, greatly improving the production efficiency and having strong versatility;

[0048] The enclosure 22 is set on both sides of the conveyor belt 21. The enclosure 22 limits the conveyor belt 21 to transport the filled bottles 5 one by one. The enclosure 22 defines the conveying path, ensures that the filled bottles 5 have the correct trajectory during the conveying process, provides a certain degree of protection, reduces the impact of external factors on the material, and prevents the filled bottles 5 from rolling or flying out during the conveying process, thereby improving safety. The spacing between the enclosures 22 on both sides of the conveyor belt 21 is the same as the width of the filled bottles 5, ensuring that the filled bottles 5 are output one by one, and the posture adjustment module 3 adjusts the posture one by one.

[0049] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the posture adjustment module 3 includes: a height limiting plate 31 and a return channel 32;

[0050] The height limiting plate 31 is provided on the material transport module 2. The distance between the bottom edge of the height limiting plate 31 and the conveyor belt 21 is less than the height of two filled bottles 5 stacked together. The conveyor belt 21 is limited to transporting the filled bottles 5 in a single layer horizontally, thus avoiding the risk of conveying chaos and blockage caused by multi-layer stacking. For stacked filled bottles 5, the height limiting plate 31 can push the upper filled bottles 5 backward onto the conveyor belt 21 or into the reflux channel 32. For vertically placed filled bottles 5, the height limiting plate 31 can push the filled bottles 5 to a horizontal state and place them in the conveyor belt 21 or the reflux channel 32.

[0051] The input end of the reflux channel 32 is connected to the side wall of the material transport module 2, and the output end of the reflux channel 32 is connected to the input end of the loading module 1;

[0052] The height limiting plate 31 is arranged horizontally and tilted, and is opposite to the input end of the reflux channel 32. The height limiting plate 31 guides the unqualified filling bottles 5 to move to the reflux channel 32, and then transported to the storage bin 13 by the reflux channel 32 for further loading and transportation.

[0053] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the posture adjustment module 3 further includes: a mounting frame 33, a swing rod 34 and a limit frame 35;

[0054] The mounting frame 33 is fixed to the output end of the material transport module 2;

[0055] One end of the swing arm 34 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 33. The swing arm 34 is L-shaped. The other end of the swing arm 34 faces the input end of the conveyor belt 21. The swing arm 34 limits the filling bottle 5 to be transported to the double-head output module 4 with the filling port facing upward. After the step feeding mechanism 12 transports the filling bottle 5 to the conveyor belt 21, the filling ports of the filling bottles 5 are not in the same direction. Some face the input end of the conveyor belt 21, and some face the output end of the conveyor belt 21. This will cause the filling bottles 5 to have their filling ports facing downward when entering the subsequent double-head output module 4, making subsequent filling impossible. Therefore, the swing arm 34 is required to adjust the posture of the filling bottle 5 to ensure that all filling The filling port of the bottle 5 is facing upward when it enters the double-head output module 4; specifically, if the filling port is facing the output end of the conveyor belt 21, the swing arm 34 uses its L-shaped structure to insert into the filling port and hook it. As the conveyor belt 21 conveys, the filled bottle 5 continues to move forward, driving the swing arm 34 to flip 90 degrees, and the filling port faces upward. At this time, the hooked end of the swing arm 34 is parallel to the filled bottle 5 and can no longer hook it, and the filled bottle 5 then falls into the double-head output module 4; if the filling port is facing the input end of the conveyor belt 21, the bottom of the filled bottle 5 will press against the swing arm 34. As the conveyor belt 21 conveys, the filled bottle 5 continues to move forward until it falls into the double-head output module 4;

[0056] The limit frame 35 is fixed on the mounting frame 33 and sleeved on the swing rod 34. The limit frame 35 limits the swing range of the swing rod 34 to further ensure the stability of the filling bottle 5 during the transportation process.

[0057] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the double-head output module 4 includes: a vertical conveying channel 41, a conveying line 42 and a pair of first cylinders 43;

[0058] The conveying line 42 is arranged below the vertical conveying channel 41;

[0059] The top of the vertical conveying channel 41 is connected to the output end of the material transport module 2. The vertical conveying channel 41 vertically conveys the filled bottles 5 to the conveying line 42. The vertical conveying channel 41 converts the filled bottles 5 from horizontal conveying to vertical conveying, which is convenient for subsequent filling. The size of the vertical conveying channel 41 is adapted to the size of the filled bottles 5 to ensure that the filled bottles 5 are output one by one.

[0060] A pair of first cylinders 43 are set on the side of the conveyor line 42. The pair of first cylinders 43 are used to limit the output of the filling bottles 5 in pairs. Since the subsequent filling machine is a double-headed simultaneous filling machine, it is necessary to ensure the paired output of the filling bottles 5. The spacing between the pair of first cylinders 43 is adapted to the width of the two filling bottles 5; as the conveyor line 42 conveys, the first filling bottle 5 moves to the front first cylinder 43, and the first cylinder 43 in the front extends to block the filling bottle 5 and prevent it from moving forward. The second filling bottle 5 moves to connect with the first filling bottle 5, and the first cylinder 43 in the back extends to prevent the subsequent filling bottle 5 from moving forward. At the same time, the first cylinder 43 in the front retracts to realize the paired output of the filling bottles 5, until the two filling bottles 5 are sent out from between the pair of first cylinders 43, and the operation is repeated for the next round of output.

[0061] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the dual-end output module 4 further includes a pair of second cylinders 44 fixed to the vertical conveying channel 41. The pair of second cylinders 44 are used to adjust the conveying speed of the filling bottles 5. The spacing between the pair of second cylinders 44 is adapted to the length of the filling bottles 5. Through the alternating extension and contraction of the pair of second cylinders 44, the pair of second cylinders 44 can achieve orderly output one by one. This prevents the filling bottles 5 above from falling and knocking them over before they have moved to the bottom area of ​​the vertical conveying channel 41, thereby ensuring stable conveying. At the same time, the conveying speed of the filling bottles 5 can be adjusted, the conveying volume can be controlled, and blockage and accumulation can be prevented.

[0062] In this embodiment, baffles can be fixed on the output ends of the first cylinder 43 and the second cylinder 44, which can provide better performance.

[0063] Working principle: A manual or external robot places the filled bottles 5 into the storage bin 13, and the stepped loading mechanism 12 conveys the filled bottles 5 in the storage bin 13 step by step to the conveyor belt 21. The height limit plate 31 and the rocker arm 34 are adjusted, and the filled bottles 5 enter the vertical conveying channel 41 with the filling port facing upward, and then are output in pairs through the adjustment of a pair of cylinders.

[0064] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention describes a feeding mechanism for a double-head filling production line according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can realize automatic feeding and automatic adjustment of filling bottles, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and lowering safety hazards.
