[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment is an automatic feeding and loading device 100 for filling containers, which includes a bottle feeding mechanism 1 having a bottle feeding conveyor line 11, a camera 2 arranged in sequence along the bottle feeding conveyor line 11, a first conveying mechanism 3 and a second conveying mechanism 4, and a bottle transferring mechanism 5 that moves back and forth between the first conveying mechanism 3 and the second conveying mechanism 4.

[0031] The bottle feeding mechanism 1 outputs a row of bottles with no order and no fixed posture on the bottle feeding conveyor line 11. The camera 2 identifies the position and posture of each bottle on the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 and obtains the posture information of each bottle. The bottle transferring mechanism 5 is initially located at the material receiving position and waits for receiving the material. The first conveying mechanism 3 adjusts the bottles on the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 to a standing state according to the posture information of each bottle and conveys them to the bottle transferring mechanism 5. The bottle transferring mechanism 5 carries a group of bottles with a set number to the material picking position. The second conveying mechanism 4 takes the group of bottles from the bottle transferring mechanism 5 and places them on the bottle conveyor line to complete the feeding and loading of the bottles.

[0032] The bottle feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding bin module 12, a bottle feeding conveyor line 11 connected to the output end of the feeding bin module 12, a bottle recovery conveyor line 13 located below the bottle feeding conveyor line 11, a drop baffle 14 that guides bottles that have moved to the end of the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 and have not been taken away to fall onto the bottle recovery conveyor line 13, and a recovery transition conveyor line 15 connected to the end of the bottle recovery conveyor line 13 and recovering and conveying the bottles into the feeding bin module 12.

[0033] The feed bin module 12 is loaded with a number of disordered bottles and is internally provided with an output channel 121 for lifting and discharging the bottles. The end of the output channel 121 is connected to the bottle feeding conveyor line 11. The feed bin module 12 outputs a number of bottles into the output channel 121, which are then transported to the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 via a vibration module, an inclined slide, or a conveyor belt. At this point, the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 is fed with a number of disordered bottles, most of which are lying down, with some possibly standing up. The bottles pass through the camera 2, the first conveying mechanism 3, and the second conveying mechanism 4 in sequence. During this period, some bottles are removed, while others may remain on the bottle feeding conveyor line 11. Any bottles that have not been removed are transported to the end and, guided by the drop baffle 14, fall onto the bottle recovery conveyor line 13. Through the bottle recovery conveyor line 13 and the recovery transition conveyor line 15, they flow back to the feed bin module 12 for recycling. The conveying width of the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 only allows one bottle to pass through, ensuring that the bottles are distributed in a row, thereby increasing the probability that the bottles can be adjusted and grasped by the first transport mechanism 3.

[0034] Both the first and second transport mechanisms 3 and 4 include a multi-axis robot 31 and a transport module 32 mounted at the movable end of the multi-axis robot 31. The transport module 32 includes a first support plate 321 mounted at the movable end of the multi-axis robot 31 and a plurality of clamping modules 322 arranged on the first support plate 321. The clamping modules 322 include a second cylinder 3221 fixed to the first support plate 321 and gripping jaws 3222 driven by the second cylinder 3221 to open or grip. Multiple gripping modules 322 can be used to transport multiple bottles at once.

[0035] In order to adjust the standing posture of the bottles on the bottle feeding conveyor line 11, the first conveying mechanism 3 also includes a posture adjustment module 33. The posture adjustment module 33 includes a motor 331 fixed to the first support plate 321, a rotating shaft 332 driven by the motor 331 to rotate about a horizontal axis, a mounting block 333 fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 332, and a suction nozzle 334 fixed to the mounting block 333. The posture adjustment module 33 can realize the transition of the bottle from a lying state to a standing state or adjust the standing bottle to a uniformly set standing position based on the bottle posture information recognized by the camera 2. Depending on the process requirements, some bottles may need to be combined into large and small bottles, or labeled on specific surfaces of the bottles. Therefore, the bottles need to be placed on the bottle conveyor line in a set direction. In this embodiment, the posture adjustment module 33 can be provided to achieve the adjustment of the bottle's direction and posture.

[0036] If the bottle is lying down, the suction nozzle 334 is positioned downward. Based on the bottle's posture information detected by the camera 2, the motor 331 drives the rotating shaft 332 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby transforming the bottle from a lying position to a standing position. If the bottle is standing up, the suction nozzle 334 is positioned horizontally to hold the bottle. The multi-axis robot 31 then adjusts the bottle so that the engaging surface faces the set direction for placement.

[0037] The bottle transfer mechanism 5 comprises two submodules that alternate between a receiving position and a take-off position, enabling seamless bottle transfer. These submodules include a first cylinder 51, a second support plate 52 driven by the first cylinder 51 to move parallel to the conveying direction of the bottle feeding conveyor line 11, and a carrier 53 secured to the second support plate 52. The carrier 53 is equipped with several bottle-receiving slots 531.

[0038] In other embodiments, the second transport mechanism 4 may also use an XYZ axis drive module to achieve bottle gripping and transport.

[0039] The working process of the automatic feeding and loading equipment 100 for filling containers in this embodiment is as follows: the feeding bin module 12 outputs a row of disordered bottles 200 to the bottle feeding conveyor line 11, and the camera 2 recognizes the position and posture of each bottle, and then passes through the first conveying mechanism 3, and the multi-axis robot 31 cooperates with the posture adjustment module 33 to adjust the bottles to a standing state, and stand on the bottle feeding conveyor line 11 according to the set direction, and then is taken out by the clamping module 322. When all the clamping modules 322 have clamped the bottles, they are placed together in the bottle receiving groove 531 of the carrier 53; the first cylinder 51 drives the carrier 53 to move from the first conveying mechanism 3 to the second conveying mechanism 4, and a group of bottles in the carrier 53 are taken out by the second conveying mechanism 4, and then placed on the bottle conveyor line, completing the automatic feeding and loading of the bottles.

[0040] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
