[0002] After the filling barrel is filled, it needs to be capped. Usually, an automatic capping machine is used to complete the capping action. Currently, manual labor is used to place the cap in a specific position and then the automatic capping machine removes it. Therefore, the efficiency and automation of capping are affected, and labor costs are increased. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this application provides a bucket lid positioning and conveying device, which can perform the functions of grabbing, conveying and positioning bucket lids, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the lid-locking machine in grabbing bucket lids.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A bucket lid positioning and conveying device includes a base, a drive unit, a lid clamping unit, and a positioning unit. The drive unit and the positioning unit are fixedly installed on the base. The lid clamping unit is connected to the drive unit. The drive unit can drive the lid clamping unit to slide along the base. Under the action of the drive unit, the lid clamping unit can clamp the bucket lid and send the bucket lid to the positioning unit. The positioning unit is used to fix the bucket lid.

[0006] Optionally, a slide rail is fixedly installed on the base, and the cover unit is slidably installed on the slide rail via a slider.

[0007] Optionally, the drive unit includes a drive cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the base, and the piston rod of the drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the clamping unit.

[0008] Optionally, the cover clamping unit includes a cover clamping cylinder, and each side of the cover clamping cylinder is provided with a clamping claw, and the clamping claw is provided with an arc-shaped clamping surface and an arc-shaped step.

[0009] Optionally, the positioning unit includes a bracket and a suction cup, the bracket being fixedly mounted on the base, and the suction cup being fixedly mounted on the bracket.

[0010] Optionally, the suction cup is located above the driving unit, and the clamping unit is located above the suction cup.

[0011] Optionally, the bucket lid is conveyed by a belt conveyor that can transport the bucket lid directly above the base.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application utilizes a drive unit to drive the movement of the cap clamping unit to complete the cap removal and delivery of the cap clamping unit, and uses a positioning unit to fix the bucket cap to prevent the bucket cap from shifting or tilting, which would cause the capping machine to be unable to accurately grasp the bucket cap. Therefore, this application can complete the functions of grasping, conveying and positioning the bucket cap, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the capping machine in grasping the bucket cap. Moreover, as an integrated design module, this conveying device can be replaced independently according to functional requirements, which is conducive to the resource integration of manufacturing enterprises and allows application manufacturers to purchase modules separately, saving manufacturers' procurement costs and avoiding resource waste.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such uses of the terms can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0018] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0019] Example: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a bucket lid positioning and conveying device includes a base 10, a drive unit, a lid clamping unit, and a positioning unit. The drive unit and the positioning unit are fixedly installed on the base 10. The lid clamping unit is connected to the drive unit. The drive unit can drive the lid clamping unit to slide along the base 10. Under the action of the drive unit, the lid clamping unit can clamp the bucket lid 51 and deliver the bucket lid 51 to the positioning unit. The positioning unit is used to fix the bucket lid 51. During operation, after the drive unit drives the lid clamping unit to the lid-retrieving position, the lid clamping unit clamps the bucket lid 51. Then, the drive unit drives the lid clamping unit to the positioning unit and places the bucket lid 51 on the positioning unit. The positioning unit fixes the bucket lid 51. When the lid-locking machine grabs the bucket lid 51, the positioning unit releases the bucket lid 51. In this application, a drive unit is used to drive the movement of the cap clamping unit to complete the cap clamping unit's cap picking and delivery operations. A positioning unit is used to fix the bucket cap 51 to prevent the bucket cap 51 from shifting or tilting, which would cause the capping machine to be unable to accurately grasp the bucket cap 51. Therefore, this application can complete the functions of grasping, conveying and positioning the bucket cap 51, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the capping machine in grasping the bucket cap 51. Moreover, as an integrated design module, this conveying device can be replaced independently according to functional requirements, which is conducive to the resource integration of manufacturing enterprises and allows application manufacturers to purchase modules separately, saving manufacturers' procurement costs and avoiding resource waste.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, a slide rail 11 is fixedly installed on the base 10, and the cover clamping unit is slidably installed on the slide rail 11 via a slider 32. Sliding the cover clamping unit along the slide rail 11 on the base 10 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the conveying process when removing the cover, controls the vibration caused by the drive unit during operation, and makes the conveying process smoother.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the driving unit includes a driving cylinder 20, which is fixedly mounted on the base 10. The piston rod of the driving cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the clamping unit. The driving cylinder 20 is horizontally mounted on the base 10, and the clamping unit is fixed on the piston rod of the driving cylinder 20. The driving cylinder 20 can drive the clamping unit to move left and right along the slide rail.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lid clamping unit includes a lid clamping cylinder 30. Each side of the lid clamping cylinder 30 has a clamping jaw 31, and each clamping jaw 31 has an arc-shaped clamping surface 33 and an arc-shaped step 34. The lid clamping cylinder 30 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 11 via a slider 32. The drive cylinder 20 drives the lid clamping cylinder 30 to move horizontally along the slide rail 11. The lid clamping cylinder 30 drives the two clamping jaws 31 to move away from or towards each other to release or grip the lid 51. By utilizing the arc-shaped clamping surface 33 and the arc-shaped step 34 to conform to the arc surface of the lid 51, the positioning accuracy of the lid 51 can be ensured, and its positioning efficiency can be improved.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning unit includes a bracket 40 and a suction cup 41. The bracket 40 is fixedly installed on the base 10, and the suction cup 41 is fixedly installed on the bracket 40. By using the vacuum suction cup 41 to adhere and fix the bucket lid 51, the positioning accuracy of the bucket lid 51 can be ensured.

[0024] The suction cup 41 is located above the driving unit, and the clamping unit is located above the suction cup 41. Figure 1 As shown, the suction cup 41 is located above the drive cylinder 20 and below the gripper 31 of the cover clamping cylinder 30.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the bucket lid 51 is conveyed by a belt conveyor 50, which can transport the bucket lid 51 directly above the base 10. After the bucket lid 51 is transported above the base 10 by the belt conveyor 50, the drive cylinder 20 drives the lid clamping cylinder 30 to the bucket lid 51 so that the lid clamping cylinder 30 can clamp the bucket lid 51.

[0026] The operation method of the bucket lid positioning and conveying device in this application includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: In the initial state, the cap clamping cylinder 30 extends, the two grippers 31 are in the open state, and the drive cylinder 20 extends to drive the cap clamping cylinder 30 to the cap clamping position.

[0028] Step 2: The belt conveyor 50 transports the barrel lid 51 to the lid clamping position, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the PLC issues an execution command, the lid-clamping cylinder 30 retracts, and clamps the barrel lid 51 on the belt conveyor 50.

[0029] Step 3: The drive cylinder 20 retracts, causing the lid clamping cylinder 30 to move above the suction cup 41. At this time, the suction cup 41 performs a negative pressure action to suck up the lid 51.

[0030] Step 4: The capping machine reaches the lid 51 and grabs it. The suction cup 41 stops sucking air under negative pressure. The gripper 31 of the capping cylinder 30 extends to release the lid. The capping machine sends the lid 51 to the mouth of the bucket. Then the drive cylinder 20 extends to return to the initial state.

[0031] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
