[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-speed dispensing robot for multi-station alcohol swabs, including a cylindrical dispensing platform 10 and a conveyor 11 with at least four conveying channels. Each conveying channel includes parallel straight segments and pairs of arc segments distributed on both sides of the dispensing platform 10. The ring structure formed by the arc segments allows the alcohol swabs to be conveyed around the dispensing platform 10. A baffle 101 is installed inside the arc segment, which divides the arc segment into two parts, left and right. The left side is used to convey the packaging box containing the alcohol swabs, and the right side is used to convey the alcohol swabs.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the conveyor 11 is provided with a conveyor 12 for conveying packaging boxes. The conveyor 12 has straight sections and curved sections that match the conveyor 11. Reinforcing rods 14 are fixed to the sides of both the conveyor 11 and the conveyor 12. The reinforcing rods 14 can not only support the conveyor 11, but also securely connect the conveyor 11 and the conveyor 12 to prevent them from being misaligned during operation.

[0025] Furthermore, both conveyor 11 and conveyor 12 have rectangular holes in their arc segments, and top plates 15 are installed inside the rectangular holes. The bottom of the top plates 15 is connected to an electric lifting rod 16. Through the extension and retraction of the electric lifting rod 16, the packaging boxes in conveyor 12 can be conveyed upward to conveyor 11.

[0026] Specifically, the conveying system includes an upper conveyor 11 and a lower conveyor 12. The conveyor 11 is equipped with at least four conveying channels. Each channel includes parallel straight sections and pairs of arc sections distributed on both sides of the cylindrical dispensing platform 10. Several arc sections together form a ring conveying structure. The arc sections are divided into left and right parts by baffles 101. The right side is used to convey alcohol swabs to be dispensed, and the left side is used to convey packaging boxes containing alcohol swabs. The conveyor 12 is set below the conveyor 11. Its conveying path is the same as that of the conveyor 11. It also includes straight sections and arc sections and is used to convey empty packaging boxes. The sides of the conveyor 11 and the conveyor 12 are fixedly connected by reinforcing rods 14 to ensure the stability between the conveyor 11 and the conveyor 12 and effectively prevent misalignment during high-speed operation.

[0027] Rectangular holes are provided in the arc sections of conveyors 11 and 12, with top plates 15 inside each. The bottom of the top plates 15 is connected to an electric lifting rod 16. During operation, the conveyor 12 transports empty packaging boxes from left to right. When a packaging box moves above the rectangular hole in the arc section, the electric lifting rod 16 receives a control signal and extends upward, driving the top plates 15 to pass through the rectangular holes of the conveyors 12 and 11 in sequence, thereby lifting the packaging box from the lower conveyor 12 to the upper conveyor 11.

[0028] The lifting mechanism, consisting of conveyor 12, electric lifting rod 16, and top plate 15, enables automatic conveying and lifting of packaging boxes, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level of the production line.

[0029] Furthermore, the circular top surface of the dispensing table 10 is divided into at least four fan-shaped dispensing stations by the partition plate 13, and the top of the dispensing table 10 is equipped with an installation plate 20. This multi-station design enables the robot to perform dispensing operations at multiple positions simultaneously, significantly improving the overall dispensing efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, at least four connecting posts 21 are installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 20. Parallel robotic arms 22 are fixedly installed on the connecting posts 21. The parallel robotic arms 22 can work together to achieve efficient dispensing. Vacuum suction cups 23 are installed at the ends of the parallel robotic arms 22. Vacuum suction cups 23 are used to pick up and place alcohol swabs.

[0031] Furthermore, a force feedback sensor 24 is installed inside the vacuum suction cup 23. The force feedback sensor 24 enables the parallel robotic arm 22 to sense the magnitude of the force when picking up and placing cotton pads, thereby controlling the operation more precisely and avoiding damage to the cotton pads or packaging. A pneumatic control system 25 and a vision recognition system 26 are installed on the dispensing table 10.

[0032] Specifically, the circular top surface of the cylindrical dispensing table 10 is divided into at least four fan-shaped dispensing stations by the partition plate 13. At least four parallel robotic arms 22 are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 20. Each parallel robotic arm 22 is equipped with a vacuum suction cup 23 at its end for picking up and placing alcohol swabs. The vacuum suction cup 23 integrates a force feedback sensor 24, which can sense the force during the operation in real time to ensure the gentleness and precision of the operation and avoid any damage to the alcohol swabs or their packaging.

[0033] With 22 parallel robotic arms and a multi-station design, it can simultaneously dispense alcohol swabs at multiple stations, increasing the dispensing efficiency to 200 swabs / minute, significantly improving dispensing speed and efficiency to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0034] Furthermore, a control panel 27 is installed on the dispensing station 10, which is electrically connected to the parallel robotic arm 22, the pneumatic control system 25, and the vision recognition system 26.

[0035] Furthermore, the vacuum suction cup 23 controls adsorption and release through a pneumatic control system 25, which includes a negative pressure generator 251, a miniature solenoid valve 252, and a throttle valve 253.

[0036] Furthermore, the visual recognition system 26 includes an industrial camera 261 and an image processing module 262 mounted on the dispensing stage 10.

[0037] Specifically, the disassembly station 10 is equipped with a pneumatic control system 25, a vision recognition system 26, and a control panel 27. The control panel 27 serves as a human-machine interface and is electrically connected to the pneumatic control system 25 and the vision recognition system 26 of the parallel robotic arm 22 to receive operating commands and provide feedback on equipment status information.

[0038] The pneumatic control system 25 is mainly responsible for controlling the adsorption and release actions of the vacuum suction cup 23. It integrates a negative pressure generator 251 to generate suction; a micro solenoid valve 252 to switch the air path; and a throttle valve 253 to adjust the airflow.

[0039] The visual recognition system 26 acquires image information through the industrial camera 261 installed on the dispensing table 10, and the image processing module 262 analyzes the image to identify the position and posture of the alcohol swabs, thereby accurately guiding the parallel robotic arm 22 to perform grasping and placement operations, and may also perform quality inspection functions.

[0040] The parallel robotic arm 22 features high precision and high speed. Combined with the vision recognition system 26 and force feedback sensor 24, it can accurately grasp and place alcohol swabs, ensuring the quality and reliability of dispensing and avoiding damage caused by improper operation.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
