Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling equipment technology, specifically to a ball supply mechanism for a ball bottle filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent CN201821622445.3 discloses an improved structure for a ball-bearing medicated oil bottle inner stopper assembly station. The structure includes a base plate located at the inner stopper assembly station on a medicated oil filling line. A robotic arm for inserting the inner stopper is positioned above the base plate. A support rod is fixed to the base plate. The medicated oil bottle is placed on the support rod, and the robotic arm, positioned above the bottle, inserts the inner stopper into the bottle opening. This invention utilizes a PTFE rod between the bottle bottom and the base plate during the inner stopper assembly process, solving the problem of insufficient base plate rigidity causing the inner stopper to not be properly inserted, thus improving production efficiency.

[0003] However, the above methods all use a robotic arm to grab the ball and then move it to the bottle opening. The problem with this method is that the robotic arm can only perform one action at a time. That is, the robotic arm cannot grab the ball when it is putting it down, and it cannot put the ball down when it is grabbing it. As a result, the robotic arm cannot achieve a continuous supply of ball. Furthermore, since the ball is spherical, it is not easy to grip it or to reliably fix it after gripping it. This leads to the phenomenon that the ball cannot be gripped during the gripping process or falls off during the movement towards the bottle opening after being gripped, which in turn affects the ball supply efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ball feeding mechanism for a ball bottle filling machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ball supply mechanism for a ball filling machine, comprising a frame and a ball supply assembly mounted on the frame; the ball supply assembly includes a base plate and a support plate mounted on the base plate, one side of the support plate being connected to a ball barrel; a ball guide tube is also provided on one side of the support plate; wherein, one end of the ball guide tube is connected to the ball barrel, and the other end of the ball guide tube passes through the base plate and is connected to a ball control mechanism; the ball control mechanism includes a ball outlet, one side of the ball outlet being provided with a first baffle, and the other side of the ball outlet being provided with a second baffle; by using the first baffle and the second baffle to slide synchronously along the radial direction of the ball outlet, the ball located above the second baffle is released to the bottle mouth, and the first baffle is used to prevent the ball located above it from falling.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the ball outlet is provided with a first guide groove for guiding the first baffle to slide in an directional manner, and the ball outlet is also provided with a second guide groove for guiding the second baffle to slide in an directional manner.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the base plate is further provided with a driving member, and the first baffle and the second baffle are moved synchronously in the radial direction of the ball outlet by the driving member.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: one side of the support plate is provided with a dial wheel, and the other side of the support plate is provided with a motor, and the motor causes the dial wheel to rotate so as to cause the ball to fall into the ball guide tube.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the frame is further provided with a chassis.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are: 1. By using the synchronous movement of the first baffle and the second baffle, the ball located below the second baffle is released to the bottle mouth and the first baffle is used to prevent other ball from falling. By repeating this process, the continuous supply of ball can be achieved.

[0011] 2. Compared to robotic arms, this device has the advantage of a simple structure while achieving continuous ball supply. In particular, the ball falls freely without the need for gripping, thus completely solving the problem of missing the target when gripping with a robotic arm. Furthermore, the ball can fall directly onto the bottle opening, thus completely eliminating the possibility of the ball falling off while moving towards the bottle opening.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides an embodiment of a ball feeding mechanism for a ball bottle filling machine, comprising a frame 1 and a ball feeding assembly 3 mounted on the frame 1; the ball feeding assembly 3 includes a base plate 30 and a support plate 32 mounted on the base plate 30, and one side of the support plate 32 is connected to a ball tank 31; therefore, the ball tank 31 can be used to hold the ball balls, thereby providing reliable support for the continuous supply of the ball balls;

[0022] Meanwhile, a ball guide tube 34 is also provided on one side of the support plate 32; one end of the ball guide tube 34 is connected to the ball barrel 31, and the other end of the ball guide tube 34 passes through the bottom plate 30 and is connected to the ball control mechanism 35; therefore, multiple ball balls are guided to be stacked in the ball guide tube 34 in sequence, which also provides support for continuous ball supply.

[0023] In particular, the ball control mechanism 35 includes a ball outlet 38, with a first baffle 310 on one side and a second baffle 311 on the other side. The first baffle 310 and the second baffle 311 slide synchronously along the radial direction of the ball outlet 38 to release a ball above the second baffle 311 to the bottle mouth, while the first baffle 310 prevents balls above it from falling. Therefore, by synchronously moving the first baffle 310 and the second baffle 311, balls below the second baffle 311 are released to the bottle mouth, and other balls are prevented from falling by the first baffle 310. This repeated operation achieves a continuous supply of balls.

[0024] Based on this, compared with the robotic arm, this device has the advantage of simple structure while achieving continuous ball supply. In particular, the ball falls freely without the need for gripping, thus completely solving the problem of the robotic arm easily missing the target when gripping. Moreover, the ball can fall directly onto the bottle mouth, thus completely eliminating the phenomenon of the ball falling off while moving towards the bottle mouth.

[0025] Furthermore, the ball outlet 38 is provided with a first guide groove 37 for guiding the first baffle 310 to slide in a specific direction, and the ball outlet 38 is also provided with a second guide groove 39 for guiding the second baffle 311 to slide in a specific direction. Therefore, the two baffles can slide in a specific direction, thus avoiding the problem of the ball supply not being continuous due to deviation during the movement of the baffles.

[0026] Furthermore, since the base plate 30 is also provided with a driving member 312, and the first baffle 310 and the second baffle 311 are moved synchronously in the radial direction of the ball outlet 38 by the driving member 312, the two baffles can be moved automatically by the driving member 312, and it is also convenient for the user to control the driving member 312 to realize the automatic supply of ball bearings; wherein, the driving member 312 is preferably a sliding cylinder.

[0027] Based on the above solution, since one side of the support plate 32 is also equipped with a dial wheel 36, and the other side of the support plate 32 is also equipped with a motor 33, the motor 33 causes the dial wheel 36 to rotate, so as to cause the ball bearings to fall into the ball guide tube 34. Therefore, the motor 33 drives the dial wheel 36 to rotate in the ball barrel 31 to agitate the ball bearings, thereby facilitating the smooth movement of the ball bearings into the ball guide tube 34.

[0028] In addition, since the frame 1 is also equipped with a chassis 2, the ball supply assembly 3 can be protected on the frame 1 by covering the frame 1 with the chassis 2.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
