Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter manufacturing technology, and in particular to a refill machine. Background Technology
[0002] After production, filters are usually placed on trays. The trays have many cavities for placing filters, so a tray will hold several filters. Several trays are collected together by a storage box for unloading. However, when the filters are initially placed into the trays, the fast arrival of the materials often makes it impossible to collect the filters into the trays in time, leaving some empty spaces in the trays without filters. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tray replenishment machine, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art that when the filter is initially placed into the tray, the fast arrival of the material often results in insufficient time to collect the filter into the tray, leaving some empty spaces in the tray without a filter.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pallet replenishment machine, including a workbench and a feeding section. The workbench is provided with two linear modules and a gantry spanning the top of the two linear modules. Forks are slidably connected to both linear modules, and positioning parts are provided at the top of the forks. A first translation guide rail is provided in the middle of the gantry, and two second translation guide rails are symmetrically arranged at the top of the gantry. A telescopic cylinder is slidably connected to the first translation guide rail, and a suction cup is connected to the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder. A CCD camera is slidably connected to both second translation guide rails. The feeding section includes a lifting section and a receiving box and a feeding box driven by the lifting section. Several pallets are placed in the receiving box and the feeding box, and the receiving box and the feeding box correspond to the two linear modules respectively.
[0005] Preferably, the positioning part includes a positioning gripper and two positioning pins. The positioning gripper is used to grip one side of the tray, and each tray has two positioning holes at the bottom for positioning and engaging with the two positioning pins.
[0006] Preferably, the forks have movable openings, and the positioning grippers slide in cooperation with the movable openings.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning gripper includes a gripper portion, a driving portion, and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is used to connect the gripper portion and the driving portion. The connecting portion slides within the movable opening, and the driving portion is used to achieve the sliding effect of the connecting portion.

[0010] The above-mentioned technical solutions of one or more technical solutions in the refill machine provided by this utility model embodiment have at least one of the following technical effects:
[0011] In operation, the lifting unit raises the receiving and discharging boxes, ensuring the bottom of the pallets inside are higher than the top of the forks. A linear module drives the forks into the receiving and discharging boxes respectively. The lifting unit then lowers the boxes, aligning the pallets with the positioning parts on the forks. The linear module then moves the forks out, positioning the two pallets below two CCD cameras. One CCD camera scans the pallet on the receiving box side to find an empty space, while the other CCD camera scans the pallet on the discharging box side to find the corresponding filter. The telescopic pneumatic valve moves along the first translational guide rail. When the cylinder reaches the corresponding position of the filter, the suction cup is lowered to pick up the filter. Then, the filter is transported to the corresponding empty position on the tray on one side of the receiving box via the first translation guide rail and placed into the empty position in the tray to complete the replenishment. During this process, the tray can be moved in the front and back direction via the linear module, and the filter picked up by the suction cup can be placed in the empty position on the left and right side of the tray via the first translation guide rail. After the replenishment is completed, the tray on one side of the receiving box is placed into the receiving box via the linear module. When the filter on the tray on the feeding box side is taken out, the empty tray is placed into the receiving box, realizing the effect of automatic replenishment and tray collection.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a pallet replenishment machine is provided, including a workbench 1 and a feeding section 2. The workbench 1 is provided with two linear modules 11 and a gantry frame 12 spanning the top of the two linear modules 11. Forks 13 are slidably connected to both linear modules 11. Positioning parts 14 are provided on the top of the forks 13. A first translation guide rail 121 is provided in the middle of the gantry frame 12. Two second translation guide rails 122 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the gantry frame 12. A telescopic cylinder 123 is slidably connected to the first translation guide rail 121. A suction cup is connected to the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 123. CCD cameras 3 are slidably connected to both second translation guide rails 122. The feeding section 2 includes a lifting section 21 and a receiving box 22 and a feeding box 23 driven by the lifting section 21. Several pallets 24 are placed in the receiving box 22 and the feeding box 23. The receiving box 22 and the feeding box 23 correspond to the two linear modules 11 respectively.
[0024] Furthermore, the positioning part 14 includes a positioning gripper 141 and two positioning pins 142. The positioning gripper 141 is used to grip one side of the pallet 24. Each pallet 24 has two positioning holes at its bottom for positioning engagement with the two positioning pins 142. The fork 13 has a movable opening 131, and the positioning gripper 141 slides within the movable opening 131. The positioning gripper 141 includes a claw portion 1411, a driving portion 1412, and a connecting portion 1413. The connecting portion 1413 connects the claw portion 1411 and the driving portion 1412. The connecting portion 1413 slides within the movable opening 131, and the driving portion 1412 enables the sliding effect of the connecting portion 1413. Specifically, in use, the lifting unit 21 raises the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 upwards, so that the height of the bottom surface of the pallet 24 inside the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 is higher than the height of the top surface of the forks 13. The linear module 11 drives the two forks 13 into the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 respectively. The lifting unit 21 lowers the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23, so that the positioning holes at the bottom of the pallet 24 correspond to the positioning pins 142 respectively to achieve the positioning effect. At the same time, the driving unit 1412 of the positioning gripper 141 drives... The movable connecting part 1413 drives the claw part 1411 to grasp one side of the tray 24. The driving part 1412 can be a push cylinder. At the same time, a mounting plate is provided on one side of the movable opening 131. A spring is connected between the mounting plate and the connecting part 1413 to achieve a good buffering effect when the claw part 1411 contacts the tray 24. The claw part 1411 can be a scissor cylinder to clamp the side of the tray 24. The claw part 1411 can also be a suction cup to adsorb the side of the tray 24 to achieve a clamping effect.
[0025] Furthermore, the lifting unit 21 includes two sets of screw lifts. Each screw lift includes a screw, a guide rod, a drive motor, and a bracket. The drive motor is used to rotate the screw. The guide rod is located on both sides of the screw. The middle of the bracket is threadedly connected to the screw, and the two sides of the bracket are slidably engaged with the guide rod. The bracket has a support plate facing towards the worktable 1. Specifically, since the lifting unit 21 is needed to drive the lifting of the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 to place and separate the trays 24, and the distance between the trays 24 in the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 is small, precise movement is required. The screw lifts can achieve precise lifting.
[0026] Furthermore, the CCD camera 3 is equipped with a fill light 31 at the bottom.
[0027] Working principle: In use, the lifting unit 21 raises the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 upwards, so that the bottom surface of the pallet 24 inside the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 is higher than the top surface of the fork 13. The linear module 11 drives the two forks 13 into the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 respectively. The lifting unit 21 lowers the receiving box 22 and the discharging box 23 so that the pallet 24 is positioned and engaged with the positioning part 14 on the fork 13. The linear module 11 moves the fork 13 out and positions the two pallets 24 below the two CCD cameras 3 respectively. One CCD camera 3 scans the pallet 24 on the side of the receiving box 22 to find the empty position, and the other CCD camera 3 scans the pallet 24 on the side of the discharging box 23 to find the corresponding filter. The first translation... The guide rail 121 moves the telescopic cylinder 123 to the corresponding position of the filter, lowers the suction cup to adsorb the filter, and then transports the filter to the corresponding position of the empty space on the tray 24 on one side of the receiving box 22 through the first translation guide rail 121, and puts it into the empty space in the tray 24 to complete the replenishment. During this process, the linear module 11 can realize the movement of the tray 24 in the front and back direction, and the first translation guide rail 121 can realize the placement of the filter clamped by the suction cup in the empty space in the left and right direction of the tray 24. After the replenishment is completed, the linear module 11 puts the tray 24 on one side of the receiving box 22 into the receiving box 22. When the filter on the tray 24 on the side of the dispensing box 23 is taken out, the empty tray 24 is put into the receiving box 22, realizing the effect of automatic replenishment and receiving of the tray 24.
