Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton loading machine technology, and in particular to an improved cotton loading machine. Background Technology

[0002] Lighter filling machines not only improve production efficiency and product quality but also effectively reduce production costs, making them an indispensable part of modern lighter production lines. Through precise machine control, these machines ensure the accuracy of each filling of the aluminum sleeve, wick, sponge, and face valve, solving the problem of insufficient materials or incorrect sponge placement leading to lighter failure. Furthermore, simple replacement of some parts allows for compatibility with different lighter models. Mechanical operation is more precise than manual operation, reducing product variations caused by human factors and improving product consistency. Precise filling technology ensures that materials are completely inserted into the lighter, promoting proper combustion and a better user experience. Currently, common lighter filling and assembly processes on the market have significant drawbacks: First, traditional processes require multiple workers using different flaps, making the operation complex. Furthermore, manual visual inspection during assembly checks is prone to fatigue, leading to missed material shortages or incorrect sponge placement, resulting in lighter failure. Second, changing lighter models requires repurchasing all flaps, increasing production costs. Therefore, designing an improved filling machine is essential. Utility Model Content

[0011] This utility model provides an improved cotton filling machine, the advantages of which are as follows: Unassembled lighter casings are placed onto the feeding conveyor belt via the feeding table. A variable-pitch feeding robot grips the lighter casings and places them onto the mold conveyor belt. The mold conveyor belt sends the molds to the air-blowing assembly mechanism, which blows away dust from the surface and interior of the lighter casings. The mold conveyor belt then sends the molds to the casing front and back detection mechanism, which checks whether the casings are correctly positioned. The mold conveyor belt then sends the casings to the aluminum sleeve assembly assembly. The aluminum sleeves in the aluminum sleeve hopper are conveyed to the upper part of the aluminum sleeve feeding track by ordinary linear vibration. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the aluminum sleeves are full, the ordinary linear vibration stops, and the aluminum sleeve brush rotates, feeding the aluminum sleeves into the aluminum sleeve feeding trough. The heavy-duty vibration pushes the aluminum sleeve into the material trough of the aluminum sleeve feeding main board. When the optical fiber senses that the trough is full, the front and rear cylinders of the aluminum sleeve return to their original positions, and the aluminum sleeve pressing cylinder works downward to press the aluminum sleeve removal pin into the aluminum sleeve. The aluminum sleeve pressing cylinder then works upward to remove the aluminum sleeve from the aluminum sleeve feeding main board. The pushing cylinder places the aluminum sleeve into the lighter. If an error occurs during the aluminum sleeve feeding and removal process, the alarm light will sound. The mold conveyor belt sends the machine housing to the guide core assembly component. The guide core vibrating plate vibrates and sends the guide core into the spring steel track. Excess material will return to the return conveyor belt through the return slope and then flow back to the guide core vibrating plate. The guide core in the spring steel track is pushed into the guide core misalignment block. When the optical fiber senses the guide core, the guide core misalignment cylinder pushes the guide core... The spring steel track is misaligned. The front and rear cylinders of the guide core work forward, and the upper and lower cylinders of the guide core work downward. The material-retrieving pin fixed on the guide core suction plate sucks the guide core into the material-retrieving pin. The upper and lower guide cylinders work downward to insert the guide pin into the lighter. The front and rear cylinders of the guide core work backward, and the upper and lower guide core cylinders work upward. The guide core ejection cylinder works downward, and the ejection pin pushes the guide core inside the material-retrieving pin into the lighter through the guide pin. The guide core assembly is complete. If an error occurs during the feeding, picking, and discharging process, the alarm light will sound. The mold conveyor belt transports the lighter to the guide core detection mechanism to check if the guide core is missing. The mold conveyor belt transports the lighter to the sponge assembly assembly for sponge assembly. The vibratory feeder dispenses the sponge from the front end. The sponge-pressing cylinder drives the sponge-pressing block to move up and down to compress the sponge, preventing it from getting stuck. The compressed sponge enters the sponge track, and excess sponge returns to the sponge vibratory feeder via the sponge return ramp. The sponge passes through the misalignment main block and enters the sponge misalignment movable block. The sponge misalignment cylinder moves forward to misalign the sponge, the lower pressing cylinder moves downward, and the upper pushing cylinder moves upward. The upper pushing pin on the upper pushing pin fixing plate pushes the sponge on the sponge misalignment movable block into the bottom plate of the picking pin. The suction cylinder sucks in air to adsorb the sponge. Through the cooperation of the upper and lower cylinders and the front and rear cylinders, the picking pin is driven into the lighter. The ejection cylinder pushes the sponge at the bottom of the picking pin out of the picking pin and sends it into the lighter. If an error occurs during the sponge assembly process, the alarm light will sound.The mold conveyor belt delivers lighters to the camera inspection component, where a vertical camera inspects the internal sponge of the lighter for incorrect installation, replacing manual visual inspection. This reduces worker eye fatigue and significantly improves inspection efficiency and accuracy. The mold conveyor belt then delivers the lighters to the valve feeding component for valve assembly. A valve-lifting cylinder drives an upper bakelite board to push the valve from the hopper onto the stainless steel feeding ramp and slide it onto the valve track, flowing into the tilting shaft. A tilting cylinder then drives the tilting shaft to bring the valve into the track of the tilting ramp. A hooking cylinder drives a hooking block to flip valves with inconsistent orientations, aligning them so they flow into the guide plate. An air blowing plate removes dust from the surface of the valve's rubber ring, and upper and lower cylinders move the guide pins... The lighter is fed into the lighter. A discharge cylinder pushes the face valve downwards, inserting it into the lighter's interior. If an error occurs during the feeding process, an alarm light will sound. The mold conveyor belt delivers the lighter to the face valve assembly for assembly. A motor rotates, driving the first sprocket, which in turn drives the second sprocket via a pressure chain. This drives the face valve's rotating shaft, ultimately rotating the face valve barrel. The upper and lower cylinders of the face valve then push the barrel into the lighter, locking the face valve inside. A variable-pitch discharge robot and discharge conveyor belt neatly pack the lighters onto a tray and push them onto the discharge table. The process is fully automated, simple to operate, and reduces labor costs. Only a few parts need to be replaced to assemble other lighter models, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

[0024] Specifically, in use, firstly, the feeding platform 1 places the unassembled lighter casing onto the feeding conveyor belt 2. The feeding variable-pitch robot 3 clamps the lighter casing and places it onto the mold conveyor belt 4. The mold conveyor belt 4 sends the mold to the air blowing assembly mechanism 5, which blows away the dust on the surface and inside of the lighter casing. The mold conveyor belt 4 then sends the mold to the casing front and back detection mechanism 6, which checks whether the casing is placed correctly. The mold conveyor belt 4 then sends the casing to the aluminum sleeve assembly component 7. The aluminum sleeve in the aluminum sleeve hopper 19 is conveyed by the ordinary vertical vibration 17. Above the aluminum sleeve feeding track 20, the photoelectric base 18 detects that the aluminum sleeve is full. The ordinary vertical vibrator 17 stops working, the aluminum sleeve brush rotates, and feeds the aluminum sleeve into the aluminum sleeve feeding trough.

The mold conveyor belt 4 sends the machine casing to the core assembly 8. The core vibrating plate 28 vibrates the core and sends it into the spring steel track 31. Excess material will return to the return conveyor belt via the return slope and flow back into the core vibrating plate 28.

When the optical fiber senses the core, the core misalignment cylinder 32 misaligns the core and the spring steel track 31.

The lead core front and rear cylinder 37 moves backward. The lead core upper and lower cylinder 36 moves upward. The lead core ejection cylinder 35 moves downward. The ejection pin pushes the lead core inside the material-retrieving pin into the lighter through the guide pin. The lead core assembly is complete. If an error occurs during the feeding, retrieving, and discharging process, the alarm light will sound. The mold conveyor belt 4 transports the lighter to the lead core detection mechanism 9 to check if the lead core is missing.The mold conveyor belt 4 transports the lighter to the sponge assembly assembly 10 for sponge assembly. The sponge vibrating plate 40 discharges the sponge from the front end. The sponge pressing cylinder 46 drives the sponge pressing block to move up and down to compress the sponge and prevent sponge jamming. The compressed sponge enters the sponge track 42. Excess sponge returns to the sponge vibrating plate 40 through the sponge return ramp 41. The sponge passes through the misalignment main block 44 and enters the sponge misalignment movable block 45. The sponge misalignment cylinder 43 moves forward to misalign the sponge, the downward pressing cylinder moves downward, and the upward pushing cylinder moves upward. The upper pushing pin on the upper pushing pin fixing plate pushes the sponge on the sponge misalignment movable block 45 into place. The bottom plate of the picking pin is used for suction by the suction cylinder to adsorb the sponge. The upper and lower cylinders, along with the front and rear cylinders, work together to drive the picking pin into the lighter's interior. The ejection cylinder then pushes the sponge out of the picking pin and into the lighter's interior. If an error occurs during sponge assembly, an alarm light will sound. The mold conveyor belt 4 transports the lighter to the camera detection assembly 11, where a vertical camera 49 captures images to check if the sponge inside the lighter is installed backwards. This replaces manual visual inspection, reducing worker eye fatigue and significantly improving inspection efficiency and accuracy. Finally, the mold conveyor belt 4 transports the lighter to the valve feeding assembly 12 for valve feeding. The valve feeding process involves the upper cylinder 52 driving the upper bakelite board 53 to push the valve in the valve hopper 58 onto the stainless steel feeding ramp 57 and slide it onto the valve track 55, allowing it to flow into the tilting shaft 54. The tilting cylinder 51 then drives the tilting shaft 54 ​​to bring the valve into the track of the tilting ramp. The hooking cylinder drives the hooking block to tilt the valves with inconsistent directions into a consistent flow into the guide plate. The blowing plate blows away the dust on the surface of the valve's rubber ring. The upper and lower cylinders drive the guide pin into the lighter's interior. The ejection cylinder pushes the valve downwards into the lighter's interior. If an error occurs during the feeding process, an alarm light will sound. The mold conveyor belt 4 will then move the lighter... The lighter is fed to the face valve assembly 13 for face valve assembly. Motor 67 rotates, driving the first sprocket 68 to rotate, which in turn drives the second sprocket 69 via the pressure chain 74. This, in turn, drives the face valve rotating shaft to rotate, ultimately driving the face valve barrel to rotate. The upper and lower cylinders 71 of the face valve push the face valve barrel into the lighter's interior, and rotating the face valve locks it inside the lighter. The discharge variable-pitch robot 14 and discharge conveyor belt 15 neatly load the lighters onto a tray and push them onto the discharge table 16. This fully automated process is simple to operate and reduces labor costs. Only a few parts need to be replaced to assemble other models of lighters, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
