Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of filling, in particular to a linear filling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the linear filling technology, the container advances in a step-by-step manner on a linear conveying path, and a plurality of works are distributed on the linear conveying path, such as a bottle feeding station, a dust removal station, a sterilization station, a drying station, a filling station, a sealing station, and a bottle discharging station. When the container passes through each station one by one, it finally presents as an independent packaged unit containing material and sealed.

[0003] The existing linear filling equipment is provided with a bottle feeding component, a linear conveying component, and a cap feeding component. The bottle feeding component adopts a rotating bottle arranging structure to arrange and output bottles one by one. This rotating bottle arranging technology can only correspond to a single type of bottle. The linear conveying component is provided with a template for conveying bottles. Each two templates form a group, and a group of templates serves a group of bottles arranged at intervals. Since the distance between the templates cannot be adjusted, the linear conveying component can only correspond to a single type of bottle. The cap feeding component also adopts a rotating cap arranging structure to arrange and output caps one by one. This rotating cap arranging technology can only correspond to a single type of cap. Therefore, when the linear filling equipment corresponds to a type of bottle and cap, the linear filling equipment is only suitable for this type of bottle and cap. If other types of bottles need to be filled and other types of caps need to be processed, multiple structures on the entire linear filling equipment need to be replaced or adjusted. At this time, the linear filling equipment needs to be shut down for a very long time for modification, which generally takes tens of working days. After modification, a long debugging stage needs to be experienced to ensure that the entire machine can operate normally. Therefore, the linear filling equipment in the prior art needs to spend a long time on modification when filling bottles of different types, so that this type of linear filling equipment cannot quickly adapt to linear filling operations of multiple bottle types.

[0050] Reference Figs. 1 to 4 For the embodiment of the linear filling device of the utility model, the linear filling device includes flexible bottle supply assembly 200, flexible transportation assembly 100 and flexible cap supply assembly 300 in turn according to the running direction of bottle 500, flexible bottle supply assembly 200 is mainly used for arranging the bottle 500 provided by the upstream in a set manner, facilitating batch placement on the flexible transportation assembly 100. Flexible transportation assembly 100 is mainly responsible for transportation, transporting the bottle 500 arranged by the flexible bottle supply assembly 200 to the downstream, or carrying out dust removal, sterilization, drying, filling and other operations on the flexible transportation assembly 100. Flexible cap supply assembly 300 provides bottle cap 600 for sealing the bottle opening of the filled bottle 500, so as to facilitate the subsequent cap screwing device to tighten the bottle cap 600 on the bottle 500. The size of the product bottle 500 and the bottle cap 600 will be different, and the bottle 500 and the bottle cap 600 are carried and transported in the filling process, so as to quickly adapt to bottles 500 and bottle caps 600 of different specifications, therefore, the utility model will adopt flexible design in supply and transportation, which can quickly adapt to products of different models.

[0051] Flexible bottle supply assembly 200 includes bottle taking manipulator 210 and bottle clamping mechanism 220, bottle taking manipulator 210 is used for clamping and placing the bottle 500 provided by the upstream to the correct position, in the embodiment, the scheme recorded in patent number 201510413229.2 can be adopted, the position of the bottle 500 is recognized by the image recognition device, then the bottle 500 is accurately grabbed by the grabbing device, and the bottle 500 is adjusted to the preset position, so as to be clamped by the bottle clamping mechanism 220.

[0052] The bottle clamping mechanism 220 comprises a first guide rail mechanism and a plurality of first clamping arms 221 independently sliding on the first guide rail mechanism, every two first clamping arms 221 form a bottle clamping assembly for clamping and adjusting the bottles 500 to the preset position, the first guide rail mechanism mainly provides support and limits the movement track of the first clamping arms 221, each first clamping arm 221 is slidingly arranged on the first guide rail mechanism, the spacing between adjacent first clamping arms 221 can be freely adjusted to adapt to bottles 500 of different sizes, and the adjacent two first clamping arms 221 can be controlled to approach to clamp the bottles 500, and a plurality of bottle clamping assemblies cooperate to complete the arrangement of a group of bottles 500, so that the mechanical hand can grasp and place the arranged bottles 500 on the flexible conveying assembly 100.

[0053] Further, in order to more accurately control the position of each first clamping arm 221, the first guide rail mechanism comprises a first magnetic guide rail 222 and a plurality of first movers 223 independently sliding on the first magnetic guide rail 222, each first mover 223 is fixed with a first clamping arm 221, and by using the first magnetic guide rail 222 and the matched first mover 223, the magnetic poles at different positions on the first magnetic guide rail 222 can be controlled by changing the current direction, so that the first mover 223 can accurately run to the specified position on the first magnetic guide rail 222, and the purpose of accurately clamping the bottles 500 is achieved. Of course, the above purpose can also be achieved by using the existing disclosed magnetic suspension guide rail structure.

[0054] In the above embodiment, adjacent bottle clamping assemblies are independently arranged, each bottle clamping assembly can run to the specified position and cooperate with the bottle taking mechanical hand 210, and after clamping the bottle delivered by the bottle taking mechanical hand 210, the bottle clamping assembly can move to the specified position to prepare for the next process, and is not affected by other bottle clamping assemblies, so that the control program is simpler; in addition, in order to make the whole bottle clamping assembly more compact, adjacent bottle clamping assemblies share one first clamping arm 221, for example, four bottles 500 are to be clamped, and a total of five first clamping arms 221 are provided, so that the structure of the bottle clamping assembly can be simplified and the overall cost can be reduced. In addition to the above structure, the bottle clamping mechanism can also use the existing magnetic suspension clamping box device.

[0055] Further, in the embodiment, the bottle taking manipulator 210 has two groups, and a bottle placing area 230 is arranged between the two groups of bottle taking manipulators 210. The bottles 500 transported from the upstream enter the bottle placing area 230, facilitating the two groups of bottle taking manipulators 210 to take the bottles and improving the bottle taking efficiency. The magnetic guide rail extends to the area covered by the two groups of bottle taking manipulators 210, so that the two groups of bottle taking manipulators 210 can simultaneously cooperate with different bottle clamping assemblies on the first guide rail mechanism to clamp the bottles 500. The two groups of bottle taking manipulators 210 are located at the ends of the flexible transport assembly 100, so that the flexible transport assembly 100 is fully utilized, and the two groups of bottle taking manipulators 210 are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the flexible transport assembly 100 in the transport direction. In this way, the bottle clamping assemblies corresponding to each group of bottle taking manipulators 210 move a distance substantially equal to the end of the flexible transport assembly 100, facilitating the control of the rhythm of transporting the bottles 500 to the flexible transport assembly 100.

[0056] In the embodiment, the flexible transport assembly 100 includes multiple groups of clamping plates. In the running direction of the flexible transport assembly 100, each group of clamping plates includes a front clamping plate 110 and a rear clamping plate 120. Multiple bottles 500 can be clamped between each front clamping plate 110 and rear clamping plate 120. All front clamping plates 110 are arranged on the first conveying belt, and all rear clamping plates 120 are arranged on the second conveying belt. In the normal transport process, the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt move synchronously, maintaining equal spacing between the front clamping plates 110 and the rear clamping plates 120, and thus always clamping the bottles 500. If the size of the bottles 500 needs to be adjusted, the initial position difference between the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt is adjusted, that is, one of the conveying belts is stationary, and the other conveying belt moves alone, so that the spacing between all front clamping plates 110 and rear clamping plates 120 changes, adapting to the new size of the bottles 500, facilitating the quick and timely adaptation of the entire transport assembly. The first conveying belt and the second conveying belt can be a chain or a belt, etc. capable of bending, and the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt are controlled to move by corresponding servo motors. The existing circulating conveying device that can achieve the above purpose can also be referred to.

[0057] In the embodiment, the flexible cover supplying assembly 300 is used to place a cover on the bottle 500 that has been filled, so as to facilitate the subsequent cap screwing assembly to tighten the cover on the bottle 500. The structure of the flexible cover supplying assembly 300 is similar to that of the flexible bottle supplying assembly 200. The flexible cover supplying assembly 300 includes a cover body manipulator 310 and a cover body clamping mechanism. The cover body manipulator 310 is used to identify and clamp a cover from a cover placing area, adjust the cover to a set angle, and deliver the cover to the cover body clamping mechanism. The cover body clamping mechanism clamps the cover delivered by the cover body manipulator 310 and then transports the cover to the bottle 500 at a designated position on the flexible transport assembly 100.

[0058] The cover body clamping mechanism comprises a second guide rail mechanism and a plurality of cover clamping assemblies 320, the number of cover clamping assemblies 320 can be equal to the number of bottles 500 between a set of front and rear clamping plates 120, each cover clamping assembly 320 comprises two second clamping arms 321, the two second clamping arms 321 are independently slidably arranged on the second guide rail mechanism, the second guide rail mechanism extends from the cover body mechanical arm 310 coverage area to above the flexible conveying assembly 100, by controlling the distance between the two second clamping arms 321, the size of the cover body can be adapted, and the cover body can be clamped and transported from the mechanical arm coverage area to above the flexible conveying assembly 100 and placed on the bottle 500 below.

[0059] Further, the second guide rail mechanism comprises a second magnetic guide rail 322 and a plurality of second movers 323 independently slidably arranged on the second magnetic guide rail 322, one second clamping arm 321 is fixed on each second mover 323. By using the characteristics of accurate and fast response of magnetic guide rail to adjust the position of the mover, the distance between each set of second clamping arms 321 can be accurately controlled, the bottle cap 600 delivered by the cover body mechanical arm 310 can be accurately clamped, and only by changing the program to control the change of the magnetic pole at different positions of the second magnetic guide rail 322, the movement of the second mover 323 or the distance between adjacent second movers 323 can be controlled.

[0060] Adjacent cover clamping assemblies are independently arranged, when a set of cover clamping assemblies clamps the bottle cap delivered by the cover body mechanical arm 310, the next process position can be run without considering other cover clamping assemblies, which is more simple in program logic; also, the cover body assemblies can be arranged in a line on the second guide rail mechanism, adjacent cover body assemblies share a second clamping arm 321, to clamp four bottle caps 600, a total of five second clamping arms 321 can be used to achieve, the number of second clamping arms 321 required by the whole will be reduced, and the structure of the cover body assembly is more compact.

[0061] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the flexible cover supply assembly 300 only places the bottle cap 600 on the already filled bottle 500, and a cap screwing assembly is further arranged downstream of the flexible cover supply assembly 300, which can screw the bottle cap 600 on the bottle 500, and the cap screwing assembly can adopt the structure of the existing filling device. However, when the cap screwing assembly screws the bottle cap 600, the bottle 500 may rotate together with the bottle cap 600, and therefore, an air bag clamping assembly 400 needs to be arranged downstream of the flexible cover supply assembly 300, and the air bag clamping assembly 400 is located below the cap screwing assembly. The air bag clamping assembly 400 comprises a first air bag 410 and a second air bag 420 arranged corresponding to each bottle 500, and the first air bag 410 and the second air bag 420 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottle 500. The first air bag 410 and the second air bag 420 are inflated, which can adapt to bottles 500 of various specifications, and the air bag clamping assembly 400 clamps the bottle 500, and has a large contact area with the bottle 500, which can reduce the deformation amount of the bottle 500 in the clamping process, thereby avoiding the extrusion of liquid in the deformation of the bottle 500.

[0062] The upstream provided bottle 500 can be stacked in disorder in the bottle placing area 230, and the bottle taking manipulator 210 can recognize the position of the bottle 500 according to the image recognition device carried by itself, accurately grasp the bottle 500 and adjust to a suitable position, and then move to a suitable position. After moving to a suitable position, the first mover 223 moves to a suitable position on the first magnetic guide rail 222, and the bottle 500 is clamped by the two first clamping arms 221. After the bottle taking manipulator 210 on one side places four bottles 500 into the corresponding four bottle clamping assemblies, the grabbing manipulator at the end of the flexible conveying assembly 100 moves to above the flexible conveying assembly 100 to grab four bottles 500 at one time, and the four bottles 500 are arranged in a straight line after falling on the jacking assembly, and then the front clamping plate 110 and the rear clamping plate 120 clamp the bottles 500, and then the front clamping plate 110 and the rear clamping plate 120 descend together with the bottles 500. The front clamping plate 110 is fixedly connected with the first conveying belt in a plug-in or clamping manner, and the rear clamping plate 120 is also fixedly connected with the second conveying belt in a plug-in or clamping manner. The bottles 500 move downstream together with the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt. During the movement, the bottles 500 pass through the dust removal, sterilization, drying, filling and other process positions, and then the bottles 500 reach the cap position. Before the bottles 500 reach the cap position, the cap manipulator 310 also recognizes the position of the cap by means of the image recognition device, clamps the cap and delivers it to the capping assembly at a set angle. The cap is clamped by the two second clamping arms 321. After the four caps are clamped, the capping assembly moves above the bottles 500 to place the bottle caps 600 on the bottle mouths. The bottles 500 move to the capping station downstream, are jacked up by the jacking mechanism, are clamped by the air bag holding assembly, the capping assembly above the bottles 500 tightens the caps with the bottles 500, and then the bottles 500 fall and move to the end of the flexible conveying assembly 100 and are removed by the carrying manipulator. In the linear filling device in the embodiment, the bottle taking manipulator 210 can automatically recognize the position of the bottle 500 without the need to specially place the bottle 500. After the bottle taking manipulator 210 grabs the bottle 500, the bottle clamping assembly can adapt to a larger range of specifications of the bottle 500 because the bottle clamping assembly mainly clamps the bottle 500 by the two independently operated first clamping arms 221. Therefore, the bottle clamping assembly can adapt to different specifications of the bottle 500 by adjusting the position of the first mover 223 on the first magnetic guide rail 222. The initial position difference of the first conveying belt and the second conveying belt can be controlled to conveniently adjust the spacing of all the front clamping plates 110 and the rear clamping plates 120 to adapt to the specifications of the bottles 500. The adjustment is also simple and rapid. For different specifications of the bottle caps 600, the flexible cap feeding assembly 300 is adopted, and the principle is consistent with that of the flexible bottle feeding assembly 200. The two second clamping arms 321 independently slide to clamp the bottle 500.The linear light assembly device with the above structure can conveniently and quickly adjust the adaptation of multiple key positions for different models of bottles 500, greatly reduces the waiting time, and improves the production efficiency.
