DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0046] Any content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art known to those skilled in the art. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," and the like, indicating positions or relationships, are based on the positions or relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used solely to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an automatic bottle loading, bottle inversion and bottle spacing device provided in this embodiment includes a machine 1, and a first Z-axis linear module 10, a material guiding mechanism 3, a first material blocking mechanism 4, and a conveying mechanism 5 arranged on the machine 1. The moving end of the first Z-axis linear module 10 is fixed with an X-axis linear module 11 and a lifting mechanism 7, the moving end of the X-axis linear module 11 is fixed with a first Y-axis linear module 8, the flipping mechanism 6 is fixed to the moving end of the first Y-axis linear module 8, the flipping end of the flipping mechanism 6 is fixed with a clamping mechanism 9, the clamping mechanism 9 is located above the lifting mechanism 7, the material guiding mechanism 3 is arranged between the first material blocking mechanism 4 and the clamping mechanism 9, the conveying mechanism 5 is arranged between the material guiding mechanism 3 and the first material blocking mechanism 4, and a channel dividing mechanism 2 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 5, and the feeding end of the channel dividing mechanism 2 is located below the material guiding mechanism 3.

[0049] During operation, the turnover box with bottles is transported to the lifting mechanism 7 through the belt conveyor line. The lifting mechanism 7 pushes the turnover box upward to the clamping station. The X-axis linear module 11 drives the first Y-axis linear module 8 and its upper structure to move right to the clamping station. The front and rear clamping mechanisms 9 are driven to approach the turnover box through the first Y-axis linear module 8. Then the clamping mechanism 9 is actuated to clamp the turnover box. The lifting mechanism 7 is lowered and reset. The upper and lower positions of the turnover box are adjusted by the first Z-axis linear module 10. The left and right positions of the turnover box are adjusted by the X-axis linear module 11. The front and rear positions of the turnover box are adjusted by the first Y-axis linear module 8. After the position of the turnover box is adjusted, the turnover box is flipped 80° to the left by the flipping mechanism 6. At this time, the bottles in the turnover box are dumped, but they will not fall out of the turnover box. The turnover box of this embodiment is rectangular, and the bottles are distributed in a matrix in the turnover box. Then, The X-axis linear module 11 drives the turnover box to move to the left until it approaches the material guiding mechanism 3. The flipping mechanism 6 continues to drive the turnover box to rotate to the left by a certain angle, so that the turnover box flips to the left more than 90° relative to the initial state. At this time, except for the top row of bottles in the turnover box, which are not blocked by the material guiding mechanism 3, the rest of the bottles are blocked by the material guiding mechanism 3. The top row of bottles falls from the turnover box to the material guiding mechanism 3 and is first blocked by the first material blocking mechanism 4. When all the bottles in the material guiding mechanism 3 move to the first material blocking mechanism 4, the first material blocking mechanism 4 removes the blockage of the bottles, and each bottle falls to the lane dividing mechanism 2. The bottles are separated by the lane dividing mechanism 2 and transported to the left in combination with the conveyor. In the process of transporting the bottles to the left, the position of each bottle is corrected by the lane dividing mechanism 2 to realize the distance conveying of the bottles for subsequent loading operations. When it is necessary to convey the next row of bottles, the turning mechanism 6 drives the turnover box to turn right to a state of 80° to the left relative to the initial state, and then the first Z-axis linear module drives the turnover box to move upward one station. At this time, except for the current top row of bottles (originally the second row of bottles from the top), the remaining bottles are blocked by the material guiding mechanism 3. The subsequent operations are repeated until all the bottles in the turnover box are sent out, and the turnover box is turned right to the initial state by the turning mechanism 6. Then, through the movement of the X-axis linear module 11, the first Y-axis linear module 8, and the clamping mechanism 9, the turnover box is placed on the lifting mechanism 7, the empty turnover box is taken away, and the second round of operation is carried out. The utility model realizes the bottle overturning operation by clamping and turning the turnover box, and combines the arrangement of the dividing mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 5 to realize the distance conveying of the bottles, which is beneficial to the subsequent loading operation, not only saving labor costs, but also greatly reducing human errors, with high precision, high speed, greatly improving efficiency, low bit error rate, strong product compatibility, adaptability to different bottle operations, and wide adaptability.

[0050] The lifting mechanism 7 includes a first telescopic cylinder 71, a placement plate 72, a limit plate 73, a first mounting bracket 74, a first linear bearing 75, and a first optical axis 76. The first mounting bracket 74 is fixed to the movable end of the first Z-axis linear module 10. The first telescopic cylinder and the first linear bearing 75 are both fixed to the first mounting bracket 74. The placement plate 72 is fixed to the top of the first telescopic cylinder. The first optical axis 76 is fixed to the bottom of the placement plate 72. The first optical axis 76 passes through the first linear bearing 75. The placement plate 72 is detachably provided with a plurality of limit plates 73. The first telescopic cylinder 71 extends and retracts, driving the placement plate 72 to move up and down, causing the turnover box to move up and down. The coordination between the first linear bearing 75 and the first optical axis 76 ensures the stability of the placement plate 72 during the lifting process. The limit plates 73 are provided to limit the turnover box and prevent it from falling from the placement plate 72. The lifting mechanism 7 is used to achieve docking with the belt conveyor line and transfer the turnover box to the clamping station.

[0051] The lifting mechanism 7 further includes a fourth screw 77, and the limiting plate 73 includes a horizontal plate 731 and a vertical plate 732. The horizontal plate 731 has a first strip hole 78, and the placement plate 72 has a threaded hole 79 that cooperates with the fourth screw 77. The fourth screw 77 passes through the first strip hole 78 and is screwed into the threaded hole 79. The outer end of the horizontal plate 731 is fixed with a vertical plate 732. The vertical plate 732 is located on the outside of the placement plate 72, and the top end extends above the placement plate 72. Through the cooperation of the fourth screw 77, the first strip hole 78, and the threaded hole 79, the distance between the vertical plate 732 and the placement plate 72 can be changed according to the size specifications of different turnover boxes, adapting to the limiting of turnover boxes of different sizes, greatly improving adaptability and being more flexible.

[0052] Among them, the X-axis linear module 11 has two moving ends, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the jacking mechanism 7. Each moving end of the X-axis linear module 11 is fixed with a first Y-axis linear module 8. The flipping mechanism 6 includes a second mounting frame 61, a motor 62, a hollow rotating platform 63, a flip seat 64, and a bearing seat 65. The moving ends of the first Y-axis linear module 8 are fixed with the second mounting frame 61. The hollow rotating platform 63 is fixed to the rear second mounting frame 61, and the bearing seat 65 is fixed to the front second mounting frame 61. The rotating ends of the hollow rotating platform 63 and the bearing seat 65 are fixed with the flip seat 64. The clamping mechanism 9 is fixed to the flip seat 64, and the hollow rotating platform 63 is driven by the motor 62. After the front and rear clamping mechanisms 9 clamp the turnover box, when the turnover box needs to be flipped, the motor 62 rotates, driving the hollow rotating platform 63 to rotate, so that the flip seat 64 located on the rear side rotates, and then the clamping mechanism 9 located on the rear side rotates. Combined with the clamping mechanism 9 located on the front side, the flip seat 64, and the bearing seat 65, the turnover box is flipped. Only one motor 62 is needed to realize the flipping of the turnover box, and the use of the hollow rotating platform 63 makes the flipping have high precision and stability.

[0053] The clamping mechanism 9 includes a second telescopic cylinder 91 and a pressure plate 92. The second telescopic cylinder 91 is fixed to the turning seat 64, and the pressure plate 92 is fixed to the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 91. When clamping, the second telescopic cylinder 91 extends, driving the pressure plate 92 toward the turnover box until it contacts the turnover box. When the turnover box needs to be lowered, the second telescopic cylinder 91 contracts, driving the pressure plate 92 away from the turnover box.

[0054] The material guide mechanism 3 includes a sixth mounting frame 31, an inclined plate 32, guide wheels 33, side baffles 34, a first bottle stopper 35, a second bottle stopper 36, and a fifth telescopic cylinder 37. The sixth mounting frame 31 is fixed to the machine platform 1, and the inclined plate 32 is tilted downward and fixed to the sixth mounting frame 31. The inclined plate 32 is provided with a number of guide wheels 33. Side baffles 34 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top wall of the inclined plate 32. The first bottle stopper 35 is fixed to the right side of the sixth mounting frame 31. The bottom of the first bottle stopper 35 is hinged to the second bottle stopper 36. The left end of the fifth telescopic cylinder 37 is hinged to the machine platform 1, and the right end of the fifth telescopic cylinder 37 is hinged to the second bottle stopper 36. During the turnover box turning and unloading process, the first bottle stopper 35 blocks the left end of the box opening, and the second bottle stopper 36 blocks the bottom of the box opening to prevent bottles other than the top row from falling out of the box opening. The expansion and contraction of the first telescopic cylinder 71 drives the second bottle blocking plate 36 to swing up and down, following the turnover of the turnover box and ensuring that the second bottle blocking plate 36 blocks the bottles. The arrangement of the inclined plate 32 and guide wheel 33 facilitates bottle feeding. The side baffles 34 limit the width of the feeding channel, ensuring that each bottle in the entire row falls accurately into the respective spacing channel 25.

[0055] The material guide mechanism 3 also includes a third bolt 38. The bottom wall of the side baffle 34 has a threaded groove 39, and the inclined plate 32 has a second strip-shaped hole 310. The third bolt 38 passes through the second strip-shaped hole 310 and into the threaded groove 39 to secure the side baffle 34 to the inclined plate 32. The relative position of the front and rear side baffles 34 is adjustable to accommodate the feeding of bottles of varying numbers or sizes. To adjust the front-to-back position of the side baffle 34, simply loosen the third bolt 38, push the side baffle 34 forward or backward, and tighten the third bolt 38 after adjustment is complete. This is convenient operation.

[0056] The first material-blocking mechanism 4 includes a third mounting frame 41, a third telescopic cylinder 42, a second linear bearing 43, a second optical axis 44, and a first baffle 45. The third mounting frame 41 is fixed to the machine 1. The third telescopic cylinder 42 and the second linear bearing 43 are fixed to the third mounting frame 41. The first baffle 45 is fixed to the telescopic end of the third telescopic cylinder 42. The second optical axis 44 is fixed to the top of the first baffle 45. The second optical axis 44 passes through the second linear bearing 43. When blocking, the first baffle 45 blocks the outlet of the material guide mechanism 3. When blocking is not needed, the third telescopic cylinder 42 retracts, driving the first baffle 45 to move upward to open the opening, allowing the bottles in the material guide mechanism 3 to fall into the channel mechanism 2. The cooperation between the second linear bearing 43 and the second optical axis 44 ensures the stability of the first baffle 45 during the telescopic process.

[0057] The lane dividing mechanism 2 of this embodiment includes a fourth mounting frame 21, a cross bar 22, a limiter 23, and an elastic separator 24. The frame of the conveying mechanism 5 is fixed with four sets of fourth mounting frames 21 at intervals along the conveying direction. The cross bar 22 is detachably fixed to the fourth mounting frame 21. Each cross bar 22 is sleeved with five elastic separators 24. The elastic separators 24 can move axially along the cross bar 22. Each cross bar 22 is provided with a limiter 23 for limiting the position of the elastic separator 24. Separation channels 25 are formed between adjacent elastic separators 24. In this embodiment, four separation channels 25 are formed by five elastic separators 24, which can carry out separation conveyance of four bottles at a time. The number of separation channels 25 is set according to the operation requirements to adapt to the separation conveyance of different numbers of bottles, and the width of the separation channels 25 can also be adjusted to adapt to the separation conveyance of bottles of different sizes and specifications, with wide adaptability. The number of spacing channels 25 can be adjusted by adding or removing elastic separators 24. To add more, install new elastic separators 24 on the crossbar 22 and then tighten the stoppers 23. To reduce the number, release the stoppers 23 from restraining the elastic separators 24 and remove the elastic separators 24 and the corresponding stoppers 23 from the crossbar 22. To adjust the width of the spacing channels 25, release the stoppers 23 from restraining the elastic separators 24 and adjust the spacing between adjacent elastic separators 24. After adjustment, tighten the stoppers 23.

[0058] The elastic separators 24 include interconnected mounting sections 241 and adjustment sections 242. The mounting section 241 is located at the front end of the conveying mechanism 5. The mounting section 241 has a circular hole 243 for the crossbar 22 to pass through, while the adjustment section 242 has a third strip-shaped hole 244 for the crossbar 22 to pass through. Except for the two outermost elastic separators 24, all other elastic separators 24 have two adjustment sections 242. Furthermore, the spacing between the separators is adjustable, particularly the distance between the tail sections of adjacent elastic separators 24. The mounting section 241 secures the head section of the elastic separators 24. The adjustment sections 242 adjust the spacing between adjacent separators 24 to adjust the width of the spacing channel 25 and accommodate bottles of varying sizes. By adjusting the spacing between the two adjustment sections 242, the spacing between adjacent spacing channels 25 can be changed, thereby adjusting the spacing between individual bottles. This allows for wide adaptability to meet diverse operational requirements.

[0059] The limiting member 23 includes a limiting seat 231, a first bolt 232, a limiting plate 233, and a second bolt 234.

The crossbar 22 on opposite sides of the adjustment section 242 is sleeved with a limiting plate 233, and the limiting plate 233 is locked and fixed to the crossbar 22 by the second bolt 234. When the position of the mounting section 241 needs to be adjusted, the first bolt 232 is loosened and the limiting seat 231 is pushed back and forth to drive the mounting section 241 to adjust forward and backward. After the adjustment is completed, the first bolt 232 is tightened to fix the mounting section 241 in the current position through the limiting seat 231. When the adjustment section 242 needs to be adjusted, the second bolts 234 on its front and rear sides are loosened, and the two limiting plates 233 on its front and rear sides are pushed forward and backward to move the adjustment section 242 forward and backward. After the adjustment is completed, the second bolts 234 are tightened to fix the adjustment section 242 in the current position via the limiting plates 233. The third strip hole combined with the cross bar 22 allows the adjustment section 242 to swing forward and backward, which is highly adaptable.
