Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water packaging equipment technology, and more specifically to a novel positioning device that can position different barrel diameters. Background Technology

[0002] In the packaged drinking water industry, there are many types of bottled water containers with varying sizes and specifications. During filling, different bottle diameters need to be filled, but due to the different bottle diameters and the fixed position of the filling head, there is a problem of inaccurate positioning during filling. Traditional adjustment methods require manual adjustment or multiple machines for filling, which has a certain impact on production efficiency and production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel positioning device that can position barrels of different diameters in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel positioning device capable of positioning barrels of different diameters includes a conveyor belt, a fixed filling head, and a barrel-stopping platform.

[0006] The conveyor belt is used to transport the barrels, and a fixed filling head is provided above the conveyor belt;

[0007] Bucket-blocking platforms are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt;

[0008] The base is equipped with a drive device to move the bucket-stopping platform closer to or away from the bucket body;

[0009] The barrel-stopping platform is equipped with a barrel-stopping mechanism for positioning the barrel.

[0010] The driving device includes a drive motor and a ball screw. Both the drive motor and the ball screw are mounted on the base. One end of the ball screw is connected to the drive motor. A connecting block is provided on the ball screw, and the connecting block is connected to the stop platform.

[0011] The ball screw is equipped with guide rails on both sides, and the stop platform slides with the guide rails, which are parallel to the ball screw.

[0012] The ball screw forms a 45° angle with the stop platform. This 45° angle ensures that the stop platform moves horizontally and vertically relative to the fixed filling head by the same length.

[0013] The number of fixed filling heads is four, equidistantly distributed, and each fixed filling head is equipped with a barrel-stop mechanism below it. By setting up multiple fixed filling heads for multi-station filling, production efficiency is improved.

[0014] The barrel-stopping mechanism includes a cylinder and a stop rod. One end of the stop rod is connected to the output end of the cylinder, and the other end of the stop rod is used to limit the barrel's position. When the stop rod positions the barrel, the angle between the perpendicular line from the contact point between the other end of the stop rod and the barrel's axis to the barrel's axis and the barrel-stopping platform is 45°.

[0015] The drive motor is a servo motor.

[0016] A detection sensor is installed on the left side of the barrel-blocking platform. The detection sensor is used to detect the entry of barrels and, in conjunction with the barrel-blocking mechanism, to position the barrels one by one.

[0017] Working principle: The conveyor belt transports the barrels. When the detection sensor detects the first barrel, it transmits a detection signal to the sensor. The sensor then controls the rightmost cylinder (position 1) to operate. The cylinder's output retracts, causing a stop lever to extend and position the first barrel. This process continues until the Nth (N being 2, 3, or 4) barrel is detected. In this case, the controller activates the corresponding cylinder to limit the barrel's movement. Once all barrels are positioned, the filling head begins filling the barrels below. After filling, the cylinder's operation causes the stop lever to move away from the barrel, and the conveyor belt transports the barrel to the next process step.

[0018] The detection sensor can also be connected to a counter to repeatedly count the detected barrel, and the maximum value of each count is set according to the number of cylinders.

[0019] When it is necessary to transport barrels with large or small diameters, the controller controls the servo motor to work. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the barrel-blocking platform to move away from or closer to the conveyor belt, so that the distance between the two barrel-blocking platforms matches the diameter of the corresponding barrel.

[0020] In this invention, the length by which the cylinder output shaft extends or retracts each time is a fixed value. The ball screw and the barrel-blocking platform have an angle of 45°, which allows the barrel-blocking platform to move horizontally and vertically relative to the fixed filling head by the same length. In addition, when the stop rod positions the barrel, the perpendicular line from the contact point between the other end of the stop rod and the barrel to the barrel axis is at an angle of 45° with the barrel-blocking platform. The perpendicular line from the contact point between the other end of the stop rod and the barrel to the barrel axis serves as a reference line. Therefore, when the barrel-blocking platform moves, the movement path of the contact point between the other end of the stop rod and the barrel coincides with the reference line, enabling the stop rod to accurately position the barrel.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This invention, by setting up a driving device, moves the barrel-stopping platform closer to or further away from the barrel to adapt to barrels of different diameters, while simultaneously performing precise positioning of the barrel. This positioning device improves the compatibility and production efficiency of the equipment and reduces labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel positioning device capable of positioning different barrel diameters, including a conveyor belt 1, a fixed filling head 2, and a barrel-blocking platform 3;

[0030] Conveyor belt 1 is used to transport barrel 4 and a fixed filling head 2 is provided above conveyor belt 1;

[0031] Bucket-blocking platforms 3 are provided on both sides of conveyor belt 1;

[0032] The base is equipped with a drive device to move the bucket-stopping platform 3 closer to or away from the bucket body 4;

[0033] The barrel-blocking platform 3 is equipped with a barrel-blocking mechanism to position the barrel body 4.

[0034] The driving device includes a drive motor 5 and a ball screw 6. Both the drive motor 5 and the ball screw 6 are mounted on the base. One end of the ball screw 6 is connected to the drive motor 5. A connecting block is provided on the ball screw 6, and the connecting block is connected to the stop platform 3.

[0035] The ball screw 6 is provided with guide rails 7 on both sides, the stop platform 3 is slidably connected to the guide rails 7, and the guide rails 7 are parallel to the ball screw 6.

[0036] The ball screw 6 and the stop platform 3 form an angle of 45°. This 45° angle allows the stop platform 3 to move horizontally and vertically relative to the fixed filling head 2 by the same length.

[0037] The number of fixed filling heads 2 is four, and they are evenly distributed. Each fixed filling head 2 is provided with a barrel-stop mechanism below it. By setting up multiple fixed filling heads 2, multi-station filling is carried out to improve production efficiency.

[0038] The barrel-stopping mechanism includes a cylinder 8 and a stop rod 9. One end of the stop rod 9 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 8, and the other end of the stop rod 9 is used to limit the barrel body 4. When the stop rod 9 positions the barrel body 4, the perpendicular line from the contact point between the other end of the stop rod 9 and the barrel body 4 to the axis of the barrel body 4 forms an angle of 45° with the barrel-stopping platform 3.

[0039] The drive motor 5 is a servo motor.

[0040] A detection sensor 10 is provided on the left side of the barrel-blocking platform 3. The detection sensor 10 is used to detect the entry of barrels 4 and to coordinate with the barrel-blocking mechanism to position the barrels 4 one by one.

[0041] Working principle: Conveyor belt 1 transports barrels 4. When the detection sensor 10 detects the first barrel 4, it transmits a detection signal to the sensor. The sensor controls the rightmost cylinder 8 (position 1) to operate. The output end of cylinder 8 retracts, causing the stop rod 9 to extend and position the first barrel 4. This process continues until the Nth (N is 2, 3, or 4) barrel 4 is detected by the detection sensor 10. The controller then controls the corresponding cylinder 8 to operate and limit the position of the barrel 4. When all barrels 4 are positioned, the fixed filling head 2 begins filling the barrels 4 below. After filling is complete, the cylinder 8 operates, causing the stop rod 9 to move away from the barrel 4. Conveyor belt 1 then transports the barrel 4 to the next process.

[0042] The detection sensor 10 can also be connected to a counter to repeatedly count the detected barrel 4, and the maximum value of each count is set according to the number of cylinders 8.

[0043] When it is necessary to transport barrels 4 with large or small diameters, the controller controls the servo motor to work. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the barrel-blocking platform 3 to move away from or closer to the conveyor belt 1, so that the distance between the two barrel-blocking platforms 3 matches the diameter of the corresponding barrel 4.

[0044] In this invention, the length by which the output shaft of cylinder 8 extends or retracts is a fixed value each time. The ball screw 6 and the barrel-blocking platform 3 form a 45° angle, allowing the barrel-blocking platform 3 to move horizontally and vertically relative to the fixed filling head 2 by the same length. In addition, when the stop rod 9 positions the barrel 4, the perpendicular line from the contact point between the other end of the stop rod 9 and the barrel 4 to the axis of the barrel 4 forms a 45° angle with the barrel-blocking platform 3. The perpendicular line from the contact point between the other end of the stop rod 9 and the barrel 4 to the axis of the barrel 4 serves as a reference line. Therefore, when the barrel-blocking platform 3 moves, the movement path of the contact point between the other end of the stop rod 9 and the barrel 4 coincides with the reference line, enabling the stop rod 9 to accurately position the barrel 4.
