DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-2 The application will be further described in detail.

[0032] The embodiment of the application discloses a compressed air movable docking device for intelligent assembly production line. Referring to Figure 1The compressed air movable butt joint device for intelligent assembly production line comprises a roller conveying line 1, a transfer bucket 2 and a gas source movable joint 4. The roller conveying line 1 adopts an existing intelligent assembly type accumulation function conveying line to ensure that the whole conveying rhythm is not affected. A transfer bucket bottom plate 5 is fixedly installed on the transmission belt of the roller conveying line 1. The transfer bucket bottom plate 5 is transported along with the movement of the roller conveying line 1. The transfer bucket 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer bucket bottom plate 5. The top end of the transfer bucket 2 is provided with a sealing cover 21. The bottom end of the transfer bucket 2 is provided with a discharge port 3. The discharge port 3 penetrates through the transfer bucket bottom plate 5 and is provided with a discharge valve. The discharge valve can be set according to the actual situation and can be set inside and outside the discharge port 3. In the embodiment of the application, no further description is made.

[0033] A discharging mechanism 6 is fixedly arranged on the rack of the roller conveying line 1. The position where the discharging mechanism 6 is located is a discharging station. The transfer bucket 2 moves to the discharging station for discharging. The discharging mechanism 6 comprises a discharging pipe 61 and a lifting piece. The lifting piece is a jacking cylinder 62. The jacking cylinder 62 is fixedly installed on the rack of the roller conveying line 1. A mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the jacking cylinder 62. The discharging pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4 are fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 7. The discharging pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4 can be lifted to abut against the bottom surface of the transfer bucket bottom plate 5.

[0034] The transfer bucket bottom plate 5 can be transported to the position directly below the discharging pipe 61 at the bottom end of the discharge port 3 of the transfer bucket 2. A gas hole 51 is formed in the transfer bucket bottom plate 5. The top end of the gas hole 51 communicates with the inside of the transfer bucket 2 through a connecting gas pipe 52. The gas source outlet 47 of the gas source movable joint 4 is arranged at the top end of the gas source movable joint 4. The bottom end of the gas hole 51 can be transported to the position directly above the gas source movable joint 4 along with the transfer of the transfer bucket bottom plate 5.

[0035] When the powdery materials, medicines and other materials are transferred, the materials are put into the transfer bucket 2. The transfer bucket 2 on the transfer bucket bottom plate 5 is transported to the discharging station along with the roller conveying line 1. At this time, the jacking cylinder 62 drives the mounting plate 7 to rise, thereby driving the discharging pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4 to synchronously rise, so as to ensure the synchronism of the actions of the discharging pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4. Until the top end of the discharging pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4 abut against the mounting plate 7. At this time, the discharging pipe 61 is butted with the discharge port 3 at the bottom end of the transfer bucket 2. The gas source outlet 47 of the gas source movable joint 4 is butted with the gas hole 51. Then the discharge valve at the discharge port 3 of the transfer bucket 2 is opened. The gas source movable joint 4 is connected with compressed air. The inside of the transfer bucket 2 is supplied with gas through the gas hole 51 and the connecting gas pipe 52, so as to facilitate the discharge.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-2The top end of the discharging pipe 61 is fixedly provided with a first sealing ring 611 made of flexible material. The top end of the gas source movable joint 4 is provided with a second sealing ring 41 made of flexible material, and the flexible material of the second sealing ring 41 is high-elastic polyurethane material. The flexible sealing material is used at the top of the gas source movable joint 4 and the discharging pipe 61, which helps to maintain the balance of the two supporting points of the gas source movable joint and the discharging pipe 61 on the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel. The second sealing ring 41 of the gas source movable joint 4 is made of high-elastic polyurethane material, which ensures the sealing property and avoids damaging the equipment.

[0037] With reference to Figures 1-2 The gas source movable joint 4 includes a base 42, a lower cylinder 43, an upper cylinder 44, an intermediate rod body 45 and a spring 46. The base 42 is fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 7. The lower cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to the base 42. The top end of the intermediate rod body 45 is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder 44. The bottom end of the intermediate rod body 45 is inserted into the lower cylinder 43. The spring 46 is sleeved on the intermediate rod body 45. The top end of the spring 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper cylinder 44. The bottom end of the spring 46 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lower cylinder 43. The gas source inlet 48 of the gas source movable joint 4 is arranged on the side wall of the upper cylinder 44. The gas source inlet 48 is in communication with the gas source outlet 47 through the channel in the inside of the upper cylinder 44. The hole diameter of the gas source outlet 47 is larger than the hole diameter of the air hole 51.

[0038] The spring 46 can be arranged according to the actual situation. When the spring 46 is in a natural state, the top end of the gas source movable joint 4 is higher than the top end of the discharging pipe 61. When the top end of the gas source movable joint 4 contacts the bottom surface of the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel and continues to move upward, the spring 46 is compressed at this time. The intermediate rod body 45 slides relative to the lower cylinder 43 until the top end of the discharging pipe 61 abuts against the bottom surface of the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel. By using this spring 46 structure, the compression force of the spring 46 can be used as auxiliary pre-tightening force. When the gas source pressure is large, the gas source movable joint 4 can be prevented from being dislocated or separated from the air hole 51, which increases the sealing property and the reliability of the gas supply of the gas source movable joint 4 and the bottom plate 5 of the transfer barrel. The hole diameter of the gas source outlet 47 is larger than the hole diameter of the air hole 51, which better solves the problem of the stopping error of different bottom plates 5 of the transfer barrel on the roller conveying line 1. The larger hole diameter of the gas source outlet 47 helps to reliably butt joint with the air hole 51.

[0039] With reference to Figures 1-2The bottom end of the transfer bucket 2 is tapered and arranged in a conical shape, and the discharge port 3 of the transfer bucket 2 is located at the smallest end of the transfer bucket 2, facilitating centralized discharge. The connecting air pipe 52 is connected to the side wall of the tapered arrangement part of the transfer bucket 2. The vibrator 8 is arranged on the side wall of the tapered arrangement part of the transfer bucket 2. The material has very high sealing requirements during the transfer process, and the material flowability is poor, and there is a risk of bridging in the transfer bucket 2. After reaching the designated discharge station, the material is not easy to discharge by using its own gravity. Therefore, the vibrator 8 is installed on the transfer bucket 2 to assist in discharging. The pneumatic vibrator 8 can be selected according to the actual situation, and needs to be connected during the discharge station and disconnected during the conveying process.

[0040] The implementation principle of the compressed air movable butt joint device for the intelligent assembly production line is as follows: when the powder, medicine and other materials are transferred, the materials are placed in the transfer bucket 2, and the transfer bucket 2 on the transfer bucket bottom plate 5 is transported to the discharge station by the roller conveying line 1 to discharge the materials. At this time, the lifting cylinder 62 drives the mounting plate 7 to rise, thereby driving the discharge pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4 to rise synchronously, ensuring the synchronization of the actions of the discharge pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4, until the top ends of the discharge pipe 61 and the gas source movable joint 4 abut against the mounting plate 7. At this time, the discharge pipe 61 is butt jointed with the discharge port 3 at the bottom end of the transfer bucket 2, and the gas source outlet 47 of the gas source movable joint 4 is butt jointed with the air hole 51. Then, the discharge valve at the discharge port 3 of the transfer bucket 2 is opened, and the gas source movable joint 4 is connected with the gas source. The gas is supplied to the inside of the transfer bucket 2 through the air hole 51 and the connecting air pipe 52, and the vibrator 8 is turned on, thereby realizing the discharge.

[0041] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not limited to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
