Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toothbrush manufacturing and processing technology, specifically a two-stage diversion type handle attaching machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demands for oral hygiene are also increasing, making toothbrushes increasingly important in daily life. my country is currently the world's largest producer and consumer of toothbrushes. Given this enormous demand, traditional toothbrush manufacturing processes are no longer efficient enough to meet the high volume of orders. Therefore, more and more fully automatic and semi-automatic toothbrush processing machinery (such as bristle implantation machines, forming machines, and glue injection machines) are being put into widespread use. However, the process of feeding the toothbrush handle into the bristle implantation machine after it has been formed still requires manual handling and placement, resulting in low placement efficiency and slow transfer speed, which significantly impacts the bristle implantation efficiency.

[0003] In response, the State Intellectual Property Office published a document on May 8, 2013, entitled "Toothbrush Bristle Feeding Equipment," with application number "201310038050.4." This device mainly consists of a toothbrush separator, a brush shaker, a robotic arm, and an electrical control system. In operation, the toothbrush separator separates and discharges multiple toothbrushes individually, the brush shaker positions the toothbrushes in a standard position, and finally, the robotic arm grasps and transports them.

[0004] However, since the bristle implantation position of a bristle implantation machine is usually fixed, the position, orientation, and direction of the brush handle must all be perfectly consistent when the brush handle is inserted. This case only addresses controlling the position of the brush handle, without mentioning the other two issues mentioned above, nor providing technical solutions to them. Therefore, this design is highly prone to bristle implantation failures during use, resulting in significant material waste and a substantial reduction in yield and processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a two-stage flow-diverting toothbrush handle feeding machine that fully separates the toothbrush handle through two-stage flow diversion and independently transports the handle, facilitating handle position control.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The device includes a control housing, a hopper fixed to the side of the control housing, a diversion hopper installed on the top of the control housing, the diversion hopper being located on the side of the hopper, a guide section installed on the top of the control housing on one side of the diversion hopper, a rocker arm installed on the top of the control housing at the end of the guide section away from the diversion hopper, a rotating track inside the guide section, a bracket fixed to the end of the guide section near the diversion hopper, a lever rotatably mounted on the bracket, and the rocker arm being connected to the rotating end of the lever.

[0008] Furthermore, the diversion chamber is rotatably connected to several diversion washers, which are inclined along the height direction of the diversion chamber and abut against each other.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is installed inside the diversion plate, and a first servo motor is connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The first servo motor is screwed on the side of the diversion chamber.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the stacked toothbrush handles are divided into a flat state by the rotation of the internal diversion swivel plate. After the handles are flat, they are moved to the top of the diversion chamber in sequence with the rotation of the diversion swivel plate. At the same time, the inclined diversion swivel plate can prevent the toothbrush handles from falling off.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixed inside the rotating track, and a pawl is screwed onto the top of the connecting rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to process the toothbrush handle subsequently.

[0013] Furthermore, an inclined baffle is fixed inside the diversion chamber, and there is a gap between the baffle and the diversion flushing plate near the bottom of the diversion chamber.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, there is a gap between the baffle and the diversion scouring plate near the bottom of the diversion chamber, wherein the baffle and the diversion scouring plate form a V-shaped angle, which covers the toothbrush handle and further prevents it from falling.

[0015] Furthermore, the flow guiding section includes a conveyor belt, one end of which is connected to a second servo motor, and the end of the conveyor belt away from the second servo motor extends into the gap between the baffle and the flow diversion plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide section connects the material bin and the distribution bin. The toothbrush handle is driven into the distribution bin along the material bin by the conveyor belt, facilitating the transfer of the toothbrush handle. In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. A diversion swivel plate is adopted. By rotating the internal diversion swivel plate, the stacked toothbrush handles are diverted to a flat state. After the handles are flat, they are moved to the top of the diversion chamber in sequence with the rotation of the diversion swivel plate. At the same time, the inclined diversion swivel plate can prevent the toothbrush handles from falling off, and can also adjust the handles to a horizontal position, which is convenient for post-processing and avoids too many operations such as adjusting the placement of the handles.

[0018] 2. A lever is used for secondary diversion. The lever, controlled by a rocker arm, rotates to place the toothbrush handles onto the grippers in sequence. Since the grippers are moved by the rotating conveyor belt, the gap between the two grippers is consistent with the rotation stroke of the lever. After one toothbrush handle is placed on the gripper, it is moved and then the other toothbrush handle is placed. This allows the toothbrush handles to be diverted to individual units and moved forward, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the toothbrush handles.

[0019] 3. A baffle is used, and there is a gap between the baffle and the flow-dividing scouring plate near the bottom of the flow-dividing compartment. The baffle and the flow-dividing scouring plate form a V-shaped angle to cover the toothbrush handle and further prevent it from falling off. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution comprising: a control housing 1, a hopper 2 fixed to the side of the control housing 1, a diversion hopper 3 mounted on the top of the control housing 1, the diversion hopper 3 being located on the side of the hopper 2, a guide section mounted on the top of the control housing 1 on one side of the diversion hopper 3, a rocker arm 4 mounted on the top of the control housing 1 at the end of the guide section away from the diversion hopper 3, a rotating track 5 inside the guide section, a bracket 6 fixed near the end of the guide section near the diversion hopper 3, a lever 7 rotatably mounted on the bracket 6, and the rocker arm 4 being connected to the rotating end of the lever 7. Several diversion washboards 8 are rotatably connected inside the diversion hopper 3, the diversion washboards 8 being inclined along the height direction of the diversion hopper 3, and the several diversion washboards 8 abutting against each other.

[0029] Meanwhile, a rotating shaft 9 is installed inside the diversion plate 8, and a first servo motor 10 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 9. The first servo motor 10 is screwed on the side of the diversion chamber 3.

[0030] Then, after the first servo motor 10 is turned on, the first servo motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 9 drives the flow-dividing washboard 8 to rotate. Since several flow-dividing washboards 8 are in contact with each other, when one flow-dividing washboard 8 rotates, it can drive all the flow-dividing washboards 8 to rotate, and they remain in contact during the rotation to avoid forming gaps and causing the toothbrush handle to fall off.

[0031] The guide section further includes a conveyor belt 14, one end of which is connected to a second servo motor 15, and the end of the conveyor belt 14 away from the second servo motor 15 extends into the gap between the baffle 13 and the diversion squeegee 8.

[0032] The guide section is used to connect the material bin 2 and the diversion bin 3. The toothbrush handles are driven into the diversion bin 3 by the transmission belt 14 along the material bin 2. The stacked toothbrush handles are diverted to a flat state by the rotation of the internal diversion rubbing plate 8. After the brush handles are flat, they are moved to the top of the diversion bin 3 in sequence following the rotation of the diversion rubbing plate 8.

[0033] An inclined baffle 13 is also fixed inside the flow divider 3. There is a gap between the baffle 13 and the flow divider 8 near the bottom of the flow divider 3. The baffle 13 and the flow divider 8 form a V-shaped angle to cover the toothbrush handle and further prevent it from falling.

[0034] A connecting rod 11 is fixed inside the rotating track 5, and a claw 12 is screwed on the top of the connecting rod 11.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The toothbrush handles inside the hopper 2 are moved to the diversion hopper 3 by the conveyor belt 14. They are then diverted by the internal diversion washboard 8 to prevent the toothbrush handles from stacking. After the toothbrush handles move to the top of the diversion hopper 3, the lever 7 controlled by the rocker arm 4 rotates to place the toothbrush handles on the grippers in sequence. Since the grippers are moved by the rotating conveyor belt 5, the gap between the two grippers is consistent with the rotation stroke of the lever 7. After one toothbrush handle is placed on the gripper, it is moved and then the other toothbrush handle is placed. This allows the toothbrush handles to be diverted to individual units and moved forward, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the toothbrush handles.
