[0022] The following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown,
[0025] A device for centering a barrel of a raw material intermediate, wherein the barrel 5 is conveyed by a conveyor belt 4, comprises a bracket 1 arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 and a guide device fixedly connected to the bracket 1, wherein the guide device is located above the conveyor belt 4.
[0026] The guide device includes a left baffle 3 and a right baffle 2; the left baffle 3 and the right baffle 2 are fixedly connected to the bracket 1; the left baffle 3 and the right baffle 2 form a V shape, the width of the large end of the V shape is the same as the width of the conveyor belt 4; the width of the small end of the V shape is greater than the outer diameter of the barrel 5 by 1-5 mm.
[0027] The left baffle 3 and the right baffle 2 are located at the lower half of the barrel 5 .
[0028] It also includes a manipulator for clamping the barrel 5, which includes two relatively arranged jaws 7 and a cylinder 6 for pushing the jaws 7 to move. The shape of the jaws 7 is adapted to the barrel 5, that is, the jaws 7 are arc-shaped and adapted to the outer diameter of the barrel 5.
[0029] The clamping jaw 7 is located above the left baffle 3 and the right baffle 2. The clamping jaw 7 is prevented from interfering with the baffles.
[0030] The working process of this utility model is:
[0031] When the barrel 5 is transported forward on the conveyor belt 4, it passes through the closed guide device. When the left baffle or the right baffle of the guide device contacts the side wall of the barrel 5, the barrel 5 is gradually aligned with the closed end of the guide device, which is convenient for the two grippers 7 of the manipulator to grab. The manipulator places the barrel 5 in the standard position for loading the raw material intermediate, which is convenient for filling the raw material.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1.
[0034] The difference is that
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown,
[0036] An elastic rubber plate 8 is provided on the clamping jaw 7 .
[0037] The surface of the elastic rubber plate 8 that contacts the barrel 5 is provided with a protrusion 9 that increases friction;
[0038] The elastic rubber plate 8 can prevent the clamping claw 7 from damaging the surface of the barrel 5 when grabbing the barrel 5.
[0039] The protrusion 9 is provided to increase the friction between the manipulator and the bucket 5 when the manipulator grasps the material, thereby preventing the bucket 5 from slipping.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1.
[0042] The difference is that
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the left baffle 3 and the right baffle 2 are both provided with balls 31 on the surfaces in contact with the barrel 5 .
[0044] The provided balls 31 can reduce the frictional resistance between the side wall of the barrel 5 and the baffle, and can prevent the barrel 5 from tilting due to excessive friction on the side wall during alignment, thereby affecting the gripping of the robot.
