[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] In the embodiments of this application, the material can be food, articles, or other items with regular or irregular shapes. External equipment includes vacuum generators, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc., which will not be described in detail here.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] As shown in Figure 1, a mobile conveying mechanism includes a connecting moving plate 1, an air supply conduit 2, and a three-way connector 24. The connecting moving plate 1 is used for lifting or lifting and translating movements, and is connected to linear stroke devices such as cylinders and / or hydraulic cylinders to achieve the corresponding driving movement. In this embodiment, a vertically engaging drive block 11 is provided at the rear end of the connecting moving plate 1. The vertically engaging drive block 11 is used to connect to a lifting driver, such as a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, and controls the vertically engaging drive block 11 to perform vertical reciprocating lifting and lowering movements, so that the connecting moving plate 1 drives the air supply conduit 2 to rise and fall during the movement. Thus, during the descent of the air supply conduit 2, the material is adsorbed, fixed, and discharged, and after rising, the material is effectively transferred. A horizontal plate 12 is provided on the lower front side of the vertically engaging drive block 11. The air supply conduit 2 is inserted vertically into the horizontal plate 12, and both ends protrude from the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate 12, respectively. The lower end protrudes to adsorb the material. The gas supply conduit 2 stabilizes and fixes the material by creating negative pressure, thereby reducing the difficulty of material transfer. The tee connector 24 is used to connect to external equipment and provide vacuum to the gas supply conduit 2. Therefore, the tee connector 24 and the gas supply conduit 2 are connected in a sealed manner, thus providing a stable vacuum for the gas supply conduit 2.
[0029] It should be mentioned that a suction head 21 for contacting and adsorbing the material is provided at the bottom of the air supply conduit 2. A three-way connector 24 is connected to the air supply conduit 2, and a discharge unit for matching the discharge is provided at the upper end of the air supply conduit 2. The discharge unit has the effect of adjusting the suction head 21 to achieve efficient separation between the suction head 21 and the material.
[0030] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the discharge unit includes an ejector cylinder 5 with one end inserted into the top of the air supply conduit 2. A drive connection end 51 is provided at the top of the ejector cylinder 5, which is used to connect to a pneumatic pump or a hydraulic pump to provide high-pressure drive for movement. Inside the ejector cylinder 5, a lifting cavity 52 communicating with the drive connection end 51 is provided, along with a telescopic column 53 inserted into the lifting cavity 52 and moving vertically upwards and downwards. When the pneumatic pump or hydraulic pump delivers pressure into the ejector cylinder 5, driving the telescopic column 53 to move downwards, the telescopic column 53, inserted into the suction head 21 at its bottom, will eject material downwards.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the open ends of the tee connector 24 face the upper, lower, and side ends respectively. The upper opening is inserted and fixed to the ejector cylinder 5, the lower opening is sealed to the air supply conduit 2, and the side opening is used to connect to external equipment. A sealing sleeve 54, which is fixed to the tee connector 24, is sleeved at the bottom of the ejector cylinder 5. A connecting rod 55 is provided at the bottom of the telescopic column 53, and a mating fitting 551 is provided between the connecting rod 55 and the telescopic column 53. Therefore, the telescopic column 53 and the connecting rod 55 form a stable connecting and mating extension structure. At the same time, in order to improve the efficiency of the telescopic column 53 moving upward and effectively resetting, the mating fitting 551 in this embodiment is an elastic fitting used to abut against the tee connector 24 to drive the telescopic column 53 to reset, or a spring is provided in the sealing sleeve 54 to drive the telescopic column 53 to perform a vertically upward resetting movement.
[0032] To further improve the loading fit of materials during the discharge process, for example, when moving goji berries into the central groove of half an olive shell, the orientation of the goji berries along their length needs to be adjusted to match the olive-shaped groove in the center of the olive shell, due to the irregular shape of the goji berries. Therefore, the discharge unit also includes a rotary motor 3, a transmission timing belt 4, and a driven gear 23. The air supply duct 2 is equipped with a fixed collar 22 and a bearing connected to the connecting moving plate 1. The output end of the rotary motor 3 is equipped with an output gear 31, and the transmission timing belt 4 meshes with the output gear 31 and the driven gear 23. The driven gear 23 is fixedly connected to the air supply duct 2, and the air supply duct 2 is rotatably connected to the three-way connector 24. Therefore, by driving the rotary motor 3, the output gear 31 drives the transmission timing belt 4 to move, which in turn causes the driven gear 23 to rotate. At this time, the rotation amplitude of the driven gear 23 is consistent with that of the suction head 21, thereby causing the material adsorbed and fixed by the suction head 21 to change direction and significantly improve the loading fit. To achieve automated operation, the rotating motor 3 is used in conjunction with a vision inspection device to precisely control the turning amplitude and angle of the material.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the discharge unit in Example 2 does not include the rotating motor 3, the transmission synchronous belt 4, and the driven gear 23.
[0035] Example 3
[0036] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that the discharge unit in Example 3 does not include the top discharge cylinder 5.
[0037] In summary, this application provides a mobile conveying mechanism that uses a discharge unit to discharge materials, thereby preventing material adhesion at the suction head 21 and achieving efficient material discharge and improved loading fit. Simultaneously, the discharge unit, through the operation and descent of the ejector cylinder 5, ejects material from the suction head 21, effectively separating the material from the suction head 21 and preventing material adhesion to the suction head 21, which would affect high-speed material transfer and loading. Furthermore, the discharge unit can also rotate the motor 3 to drive the air supply conduit 2, allowing irregularly shaped materials such as goji berries to adjust their length orientation during the rotation of the air supply conduit 2, thus improving the material loading fit.
