Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an automatic lid-releasing mechanism for a condiment bucket, including a first support 1, a second support 2, and a bucket conveyor 3. A left slide rail 4 and a right slide rail 5 are arranged above the first support 1. A bucket blocking and positioning cylinder 6 is arranged on the second support 2. A bucket blocking and positioning mechanism 7 is arranged at the output end of the bucket positioning cylinder. A lid-pressing auxiliary cylinder 8 is arranged outside the bucket blocking and positioning cylinder 6. A lid-pressing auxiliary mechanism 9 is arranged at the output end of the lid-pressing auxiliary cylinder 8. The first support 1 is fixedly connected to the bucket conveyor 3 and is located on both sides of the bucket conveyor 3. The left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5 are symmetrically arranged directly above the bucket conveyor 3. The second support 2 is fixedly connected to the bucket conveyor 3 and is located on both sides of the bucket conveyor 3, and is also located at one end of the first support 1.

[0020] In this embodiment, by integrating the first support 1, the second support 2, and the material bucket conveyor 3, the automated placement of the seasoning bucket lid is achieved. The left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5 on the first support 1 provide a stable path for the conveying and positioning of the lid, while the material bucket blocking and positioning cylinder 6 and the lid pressing auxiliary cylinder 8 on the second support 2 ensure the accurate positioning of the material bucket and the smooth placement of the lid. The overall design improves production efficiency, reduces reliance on manual operation, and meets the needs of large-scale production.

[0021] Furthermore, the left slide rail 4 is provided with a buffer detection sensor 10, a buffer positioning cylinder 11, a lid placement detection sensor 12, and a lid placement positioning cylinder 13 arranged sequentially from left to right.

[0022] In this embodiment, the precise control and automatic management of the bucket lids are achieved by sequentially arranging the buffer detection sensor 10, the buffer positioning cylinder 11, the lid placement detection sensor 12, and the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 on the left slide rail 4. The buffer detection sensor 10 can monitor the position and quantity of the bucket lids in real time, the buffer positioning cylinder 11 ensures the stability of the bucket lids during the conveying process, the lid placement detection sensor 12 is used to detect whether the bucket lids have been correctly placed, and the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 is responsible for accurately positioning the bucket lids on the material bucket. The coordinated work of this series of sensors and cylinders greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of automatic lid placement.

[0023] Furthermore, a vertical rod 14 is provided on one side of the material bucket conveyor 3, and a horizontal rod 15 is provided on the vertical rod 14, and the vertical rod 14 is located between the first support 1 and the second support 2.

[0024] Furthermore, a cover-releasing auxiliary pressure plate 16 is hinged to the crossbar 15, and the cover-releasing auxiliary pressure plate 16 is located between the cover-pressing auxiliary mechanism 9 and the material bucket blocking and positioning mechanism 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, the design of the lid placement auxiliary pressure plate 16 hinged to the crossbar 15 makes the lid placement process more flexible and controllable. Under the action of the lid-pressing auxiliary cylinder 8, the lid placement auxiliary pressure plate 16 can automatically adjust the angle and force according to the position of the lid and the material bucket, thereby ensuring that the lid can fit tightly on the material bucket. This design not only improves the accuracy of automatic lid placement, but also reduces problems such as lid damage or material bucket displacement caused by improper operation.

[0026] Furthermore, a bucket monitoring sensor 17 is provided on the other side of the bucket conveyor 3, and the bucket monitoring sensor 17 is located between the first support 1 and the second support 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the material barrel monitoring sensor 17 installed on the other side of the material barrel conveyor 3 can monitor the position and status of the material barrel in real time. This design helps to detect and handle abnormal situations in the material barrel conveying process in a timely manner, such as material barrel blockage, misalignment or missing parts. Through timely warning and feedback, the continuous and stable operation of the automatic lid-releasing mechanism can be ensured, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0028] Furthermore, the material bucket is located above the material bucket conveyor 3, and also between the left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5 and the material bucket conveyor 3, with the bucket lid located between the left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the precise positioning and layout of the bucket and lid within the mechanism ensures the smooth operation of the automatic lid-laying process. The bucket is positioned above the bucket conveyor 3 and between the left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5, allowing the lid to slide smoothly onto the bucket along the slide rails. Simultaneously, the lid's location between the left and right slide rails ensures the stability and accuracy of the lid during transport. This design not only simplifies the complexity of the automatic lid-laying mechanism but also improves its overall performance and reliability.

[0030] In practical use, the bucket lids are arranged in an orderly manner between the left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5. When the lid placement monitoring sensor detects a bucket lid passing by, the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 presses down to position the lid. While waiting for the material bucket to pass by, the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 lifts up to place the lid. When the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 is in the pressed-down state, the lid placement detection sensor 12 detects a bucket lid again, and the buffer positioning cylinder 11 presses down to block subsequent bucket lids on the slide rail, preventing bucket lid stacking. The material bucket conveyor 3 transports the material bucket in the direction of the arrow. When the material bucket detection sensor detects a material bucket passing by, the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 delays and lifts up to release the lid, and the material bucket carries the lid along with it. At this time, the lid placement... The lid auxiliary pressure plate 16 presses down on the upper side of the lid by its own weight to prevent the lid from slipping off. The bucket blocking cylinder drives the bucket blocking positioning mechanism 7, which is bolted to the cylinder, to press down after a delay. When the bucket and lid move to the bucket blocking positioning mechanism 7, the lid pressing auxiliary cylinder 8 drives the lid pressing auxiliary mechanism 9, which is bolted to the cylinder, to press down, so that the lid and the bucket fit closely together. After pressing down for about 0.3 seconds, it returns to its original position and waits for the next bucket to pass. When the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 lifts up after a delay to release the lid, the buffer positioning cylinder 11 lifts up, and the lid is replenished to the lid placement positioning cylinder 13 through the slide rail. The lid placement positioning cylinder 13 positions the lid here again. This process is repeated.

[0031] In this utility model, the bucket lids are arranged in an orderly manner by the left slide rail 4 and the right slide rail 5. The lid-releasing monitoring sensor and the lid-releasing positioning cylinder 13 work together to achieve precise positioning and release of the bucket lids. At the same time, the buffer positioning cylinder 11 prevents the bucket lids from stacking. The material bucket conveyor 3 transports the material bucket. After the material bucket detection sensor is triggered, the lid-releasing positioning cylinder 13 lifts up after a delay to release the bucket lid, and the lid-releasing auxiliary pressure plate 16 prevents it from slipping. The material bucket blocking cylinder and the lid-pressing auxiliary cylinder 8 further ensure that the bucket lid and the material bucket are tightly fitted. Then, the buffer positioning cylinder 11 lifts up to replenish the bucket lid. The whole process is repeated.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
