Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sorting equipment, and specifically to a bottle cap sorting and guiding fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional sorting methods mainly include manual sorting, mechanical screening, and gravity sorting. Manual sorting is still widely used in small processing plants. Manual sorting is characterized by high flexibility and strong adaptability. Workers can accurately sort bottle caps according to their shape, size, color, and other characteristics. It can quickly process bottle caps of different specifications and models. In addition, during the sorting process, workers can judge the quality of bottle caps in real time and directly remove defective bottle caps. It is especially suitable for small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios, as well as as a supplementary means in special situations where automated equipment cannot handle the process.

[0003] However, manual sorting also has limitations. It is relatively inefficient, labor-intensive, and easily affected by human factors such as fatigue and emotions, resulting in unstable sorting accuracy and speed, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, continuous production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a bottle cap sorting and guiding fixture. The sorting cylinder in the sorting mechanism drives the sorting plate to rotate around the hinge through the push-pull block, realizing the precise change of the moving direction of the bottle caps. This solves the problem of unstable accuracy and speed caused by fatigue or emotional state in manual sorting. The linear module and linear slide in the material picking mechanism work together to enable the material picking component to accurately descend and move laterally to the stop position of the workpiece to be processed in the guide component. The angle of the suction cup is adjusted with the rotary cylinder to achieve efficient adsorption. The conveying component and the limiting component in the conveying mechanism work closely together. The conveying component drives the transmission belt to move in the chute through the drive wheel. The limiting component ensures that the workpieces remain neat and orderly during the conveying process through the precise control of the limiting cylinder and the clamping motor, meeting the needs of large-scale and continuous production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A bottle cap sorting and guiding fixture includes a conveying unit with a sorting mechanism at its feed end. The sorting mechanism works in conjunction with the conveying unit to sort the workpieces to be processed. At least one material handling and transfer unit is mounted on the sorting mechanism via a mounting bracket. The material handling and transfer unit works in conjunction with the sorting mechanism to pick up the workpieces to be processed and transfer them to the next processing station. The mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the conveying unit. The material handling and transfer unit includes a material handling mechanism located inside the mounting bracket and a conveying mechanism located on one side of the material handling mechanism. The material handling mechanism picks up the workpieces to be processed and feeds them into the conveying mechanism station. The conveying mechanism transports the workpieces to be processed to the next processing station.

[0007] The sorting mechanism includes a sorting cylinder mounted on one side of the conveying unit via a connecting plate, a push-pull block mounted at the output end of the sorting cylinder, a sorting plate mounted at one end of the push-pull block via a connecting shaft, and a mounting plate mounted at one end of the sorting plate via a hinge. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the conveying unit. The sorting cylinder is used to drive the sorting plate to rotate around the hinge via the push-pull block. The sorting plate is used to move the workpiece to be processed and change the direction of movement of the workpiece. The mounting plate is used to limit the position of the sorting plate in cooperation with the hinge.

[0008] The material handling mechanism includes a linear module located on one side of the mounting bracket, a linear slide on the driving side of the linear module, and a material handling component located on the sliding surface of the linear slide via a connecting block. The linear module is used to drive the linear slide to move vertically, the linear slide is used to drive the material handling component to move laterally, and the material handling component is used to pick up the workpiece to be processed.

[0009] The material handling assembly includes a rotary cylinder located on one side of the connecting block, an air guide pipe located at the output end of the rotary cylinder via a rotary seat, and a suction cup located at one end of the air guide pipe. The rotary cylinder is used to drive the rotary seat to rotate the suction cup, the air guide pipe is used to connect the suction cup to an external air source, and the suction cup is used to directly contact the surface of the workpiece to be processed.

[0010] The material handling assembly is provided with a guide assembly below it. The guide assembly is fixedly connected to the conveying unit through at least one support frame. The guide assembly is used to cooperate with the sorting mechanism to limit the workpiece to be processed.

[0011] The conveying mechanism includes a conveying component mounted on one side of the material handling mechanism via a connecting seat, a drive motor mounted at one end of the conveying component, and a limiting component mounted at the other end of the conveying component. The connecting seat is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket. The conveying component is used to convey the workpiece to be processed in an upright state to the next process. The drive motor is used to provide driving force for the conveying component. The limiting component is used to limit and sort the workpiece to be processed.

[0012] The conveying assembly includes a guide with a groove and a transmission belt mounted on the guide via a drive wheel. The drive wheel is rigidly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The guide is used to limit the workpiece to be processed through the groove, and the transmission belt is used to drive the workpiece to be processed to move along the groove by the rotation of the drive wheel.

[0013] The limiting component includes a limiting cylinder mounted on one side of the guide via a mounting block, a limiting plate located at the output end of the limiting cylinder, at least one locking motor located at the feed end of the guide, and a locking block located at the output end of the locking motor.

[0014] The conveying unit includes a floor frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the floor frame, and a conveyor motor located at one end of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is connected to the output end of the conveyor motor via a main roller.

[0015] One end of the floor frame is equipped with a scrap material placement rack, which is used to hold unsorted workpieces to be processed.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. The sorting mechanism, through the cooperation of sorting cylinders, push-pull blocks, movable plates and sorting plates, can accurately and quickly change the moving direction of bottle caps and sort them to designated positions. The material picking mechanism, through the coordinated work of linear modules, linear slides and rotary cylinders, realizes the rapid adsorption and posture adjustment of bottle caps and transfers them to the conveying mechanism. The conveying components and limiting components in the conveying mechanism ensure that the bottle caps are stably and orderly transported to the next processing station. The whole process has a high degree of automation and strong adaptability, meeting the needs of large-scale and continuous production.

[0018] 2. The independent operation of the material handling and transfer unit allows one unit to continue working while the other is being repaired or inspected, ensuring production continuity. The guiding component limits the bottle caps with guide bars and limit blocks to prevent them from shifting or tilting during transport, ensuring reliable adsorption by the material handling component. The limit component in the conveying mechanism, through precise control of limit cylinders and clamping motors, prevents the bottle caps from falling or getting stuck at the end of the chute, further improving production stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] like Figure 1-9As shown, this utility model relates to a bottle cap sorting and guiding fixture, including a conveying unit 1. A sorting mechanism 2 is provided at the feed end of the conveying unit 1, which cooperates with the conveying unit 1 to sort the workpieces to be processed. At least one material handling and transfer unit 4 is provided on the sorting mechanism 2 via a mounting bracket 3. The material handling and transfer unit 4 cooperates with the sorting mechanism 2 to pick up the workpieces to be processed and transfer them to the next processing station. The mounting bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the conveying unit 1. The material handling and transfer unit 4 includes a material handling mechanism 40 located inside the mounting bracket 3 and a conveying mechanism 41 located on one side of the material handling mechanism 40. The material handling mechanism 40 picks up the workpieces to be processed and feeds them into the station of the conveying mechanism 41. The conveying mechanism 41 transports the workpieces to be processed to the next processing station. Preferably, a material handling and transfer unit 4 is provided on each side of the feed end of the mounting bracket 3. When the workpiece to be processed moves to the sorting station through the conveying unit 1, the sorting mechanism 2 moves the workpiece to be processed into the guide component 6. The guide component 6 limits the workpiece to be processed. The material handling mechanism 40 of the material handling and transfer unit 4 moves down to absorb and grab the workpiece to be processed. Then the material handling unit 4 moves up to vertically release the workpiece to be processed onto the conveying mechanism 41. The conveying mechanism 41 sends the workpiece to be processed to the next processing station. The two material handling and transfer units 4 work independently without interfering with each other, receiving instructions from the control terminal. When one material handling and transfer unit 4 is not working (such as during maintenance or inspection), the other material handling and transfer unit 4 can continue to work, thereby improving the efficiency of sorting and conveying and enhancing the continuity of production.

[0032] like Figure 1-3As shown, the sorting mechanism 2 includes a sorting cylinder 21 mounted on one side of the conveying unit 1 via a connecting plate 20, a push-pull block 22 mounted at the output end of the sorting cylinder 21, a sorting plate 24 mounted at one end of the push-pull block 22 via a connecting shaft 23, and a mounting plate 26 mounted at one end of the sorting plate 24 via a hinge 25. The mounting plate 26 is fixedly connected to the conveying unit 1, and the connecting shaft 23 is drivenly connected to the sorting plate 24 via a movable plate 27. The sorting cylinder 21 is used to drive the sorting plate 24 to rotate around the hinge 25 via the push-pull block 22. 24 is used to move the workpiece to be processed and change its direction of movement. The mounting plate 26 is used to limit the sorting plate 24 in conjunction with the hinge 25. In the sorting mechanism 2, the sorting cylinder 21 serves as the power source and is fixedly connected to the conveying unit 1 through the connecting plate 20, ensuring that the sorting cylinder 21 has a stable foundation during operation. Specifically, the push-pull block 22 at the output end of the sorting cylinder 21 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 27 through the connecting shaft 23. The movable plate 27 is slidably connected to the sorting plate 24. The other end of the sorting plate 24 is connected to the mounting plate 24 through the hinge 25. The mounting plate 26 is connected to the conveying unit 1, allowing the sorting plate 24 to rotate stably around the hinge 25, thus changing the direction of movement of the workpiece to be processed. Specifically, when the conveying unit 1 transports the workpiece to be processed to the sorting station, the sorting mechanism 2 begins to function. The sorting cylinder 21 is activated according to the control command, and the push-pull block 22 at its output end drives the sorting plate 24 to rotate accordingly. During the rotation, the sorting plate 24 agitates the workpiece to be processed, causing it to separate from the conventional conveying path of the conveying unit 1. The sorting plate 24 exits and enters the guide assembly 6 to sort the workpieces to be processed, ensuring that the workpieces to be processed can be accurately sorted to the designated position, preparing for the subsequent adsorption and transfer by the material handling and transfer unit 4. Moreover, through the cooperation of the hinge 25 and the mounting plate 26, the rotation range and direction of the sorting plate 24 are effectively limited, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the sorting action. The close cooperation between the sorting mechanism 2, the conveying unit 1, the guide assembly 6 and the material handling and transfer unit 4 provides a strong guarantee for the efficient and continuous operation of sorting and conveying the workpieces to be processed.

[0033] like Figure 4-5As shown, the material handling mechanism 40 includes a linear module 400 disposed on one side of the mounting bracket 3, a linear slide 401 disposed on the driving side of the linear module 400, and a material handling component 403 disposed on the sliding surface of the linear slide 401 via a connecting block 402. The linear module 400 is used to drive the linear slide to move vertically, and the linear slide 401 is used to drive the material handling component 403 to move laterally. The material handling component 403 is used to pick up the workpiece to be processed. When the material handling mechanism 40 is working, the linear module 400 drives the linear slide 401 to lower the material handling component 403, and simultaneously the linear slide 401 drives the material handling component 403 to move laterally, so that the material handling component 403 moves to the workpiece stop position of the guide component 6, the material handling component 403 picks up the workpiece to be processed, and the linear module 400 drives the linear slide 401 to rise, completing the material handling action.

[0034] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the material handling assembly 403 includes a rotary cylinder 4030 disposed on one side of the connecting block 402, an air guide pipe 4032 disposed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 4030 via a rotary seat 4031, and a suction cup 4033 disposed at one end of the air guide pipe 4032. The rotary cylinder 4030 drives the rotary seat 4031 to rotate the suction cup 4033. The air guide pipe 4032 connects the suction cup 4033 to an external air source. The suction cup 4033 is used to directly contact the surface of the workpiece to be processed. The rotary cylinder 4030 is the power source of the material handling assembly 403, driving the rotary seat 4031 to rotate the suction cup 4033, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the suction cup 4033 (0 to 90 degrees). The air guide pipe 4032 serves as an air passage and a rigid connector, connecting the suction cup. The function of 4033 and the external air source is to ensure that the suction cup 4033 can generate sufficient suction force to grasp the workpiece to be processed. The rotating seat 4031 is the rotating connecting component between the rotary cylinder 4030 and the air guide pipe 4032. It is responsible for transmitting the power of the rotary cylinder 4030 to the air guide pipe 4032, thereby driving the suction cup 4033 to rotate. The suction cup 4033 is the end actuator of the picking component 403. It directly contacts the surface of the workpiece to be processed. When the linear module 400 and the linear slide 401 of the picking mechanism 40 move the picking component 403 to the workpiece stop position of the guide component 6, the rotary cylinder 4030 is started according to the control command, driving the suction cup 4033 to rotate to a suitable angle. The suction cup 4033 generates suction force to grasp the workpiece to be processed.

[0035] like Figure 1-2As shown, a guide component 6 is provided below the material handling component 403. The guide component 6 is fixedly connected to the conveying unit 1 through at least one support frame 5. The guide component 6 is used to cooperate with the sorting mechanism 2 to limit the workpiece to be processed. Specifically, one guide component 6 is arranged for each of the two material handling and transfer units 4. The guide component 6 includes two guide bars 60 located below the support frame 5 and a limiting block 61 located on the guide bars 60. The guide component 6 mainly cooperates with the sorting mechanism 2 to limit the workpiece to be processed, so as to ensure that the workpiece to be processed is in the correct position and posture during the sorting and material handling process. Specifically, when the sorting mechanism 2 moves the workpiece to be processed, the workpiece to be processed enters the limiting area of ​​the guide component 6. The guide component 6 limits the workpiece to be processed through the two guide bars 60 and the limiting block 61 to prevent the workpiece to be processed from shifting or tilting during the conveying process. Only then can the material handling component 403 reliably pick up the workpiece to be processed and transfer it to the conveying mechanism 41.

[0036] like Figure 4 , 7 As shown in Figure 9, the conveying mechanism 41 includes a conveying component 411 mounted on one side of the material handling mechanism 40 via a connecting seat 410, a drive motor 412 mounted at one end of the conveying component 411, and a limiting component 413 mounted at the other end of the conveying component 411. The connecting seat 410 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 3. The conveying component 411 is used to convey the workpiece to be processed in an upright state to the next process. The drive motor 412 is used to provide driving force for the conveying component 411, and the limiting component 413 is used to limit and sort the workpiece to be processed. The connecting seat 410 provides a mounting base for the conveying mechanism 41, ensuring that the conveying component 411 operates smoothly during operation. To ensure stability during the process, the drive motor 412 drives the conveying component 411 through its power output end. The limiting component 413 limits and sorts the workpieces to be processed to ensure that the workpieces to be processed remain in an orderly state during the conveying process. Specifically, when the picking mechanism 40 picks up and releases the workpieces to be processed onto the station of the conveying mechanism 41, the rotary cylinder 4030 rotates the workpieces to be processed horizontally picked up by the suction cup 4033 to vertically picked up through the rotating seat 4031, so that the workpieces to be processed are in an upright state. The conveying component 411 starts to work under the drive of the drive motor 412, and the workpieces to be processed move along the path set by the conveying component 411.

[0037] like Figure 7-8As shown, the conveying assembly 411 includes a guide member 4110 with a groove 4110a and a transmission belt 4112 disposed within the groove 4110a via a drive wheel 4111. The drive wheel 4111 is rigidly connected to the output end of the drive motor 412. The guide member 4110 is used to limit the workpiece to be processed via the groove 4110a, and the transmission belt 4112 is used to drive the workpiece to be processed along the groove 4110a by the rotation of the drive wheel 4111. The guide member 4110 is used to process the workpiece via the groove 4110a inside it. The workpiece is limited to ensure that it remains neat and orderly during transport. The shape and size of the chute 4110a are assembled with the guide member 4110 according to the shape of the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be stably placed in the chute 4110a during transport, avoiding deviation or tipping. When the drive motor 412 starts, the drive wheel 4111 at its output end rotates, driving the transmission belt 4112 to move in the chute 4110a. The workpiece is gradually transported to the next processing station as the transmission belt 4112 moves.

[0038] like Figure 7-9 As shown, the limiting assembly 413 includes a limiting cylinder 4131 mounted on one side of the guide member 4110 via a mounting block 4130, a limiting plate 4132 located at the output end of the limiting cylinder 4131, at least one locking motor 4133 located at the feed end of the guide member 4110, and a locking block 4134 located at the output end of the locking motor 4133. Specifically, the limiting cylinder 4131 drives the limiting plate 4132 to extend, preventing the workpiece to be processed from falling into the tail end of the slide 4110a. After the robot (not shown) in the next process grabs the workpiece to be processed, the limiting cylinder 4131 drives the limiting plate 4132 to retract, releasing the workpiece to be processed. After the robot takes away the workpiece to be processed, the limiting cylinder 4131 drives the limiting plate 4132 to extend again, forming a limit on the tail end of the slide 4110a. Then, the two locking motors 4133... The 133 drive clamping block 4134 to retract, releasing the workpiece to be processed, causing all workpieces to slide down one station. After the workpiece reaches the end of the slide 4110a, it waits for the robot to grab it again. Then, the second clamping motor 4133 drives the clamping block 4134 to extend again, limiting the workpiece to be processed. This cycle is repeated. The reason why the second clamping motor 4133 limits the workpiece to be processed through the clamping block 4134 is that during the process of the conveying component 411 transporting the workpiece to be processed along the slide 4110a, the workpieces to be processed are one after another. If the robot grabs the workpiece at the end of the slide 4110a, the limiting cylinder 4131 has not yet driven the limiting plate 4132 to the position. When the subsequent workpiece enters the end of the slide 4110a, it will fall or get stuck, affecting the continuity of production.

[0039] like Figure 1-2As shown, the conveying unit 1 includes a floor frame 10, a conveyor belt 11 mounted on the floor frame 10, and a conveyor motor 12 mounted at one end of the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 is connected to the output end of the conveyor motor 12 via a main roller 13.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, a scrap material placement rack 7 is provided at one end of the floor frame 10. The scrap material placement rack 7 is used to hold unsorted workpieces to be processed.

[0041] Workflow and Principle: The workpiece to be processed is first conveyed to the sorting station by the main roller 13 driven by the conveyor motor 12 via the conveyor belt 11 of the conveyor unit 1. At the sorting station, the sorting mechanism 2 is activated, and the sorting cylinder 21 drives the sorting plate 24 to rotate around the hinge 25 via the push-pull block 22, pulling the workpiece to be processed out of the conventional conveying path and into the guide assembly 6. The guide assembly 6 is fixed to the conveyor unit 1 by the support frame 5 and includes two guide bars 60 and a limiting block 61, which limits the workpiece to be processed to ensure its correct position and posture for the material handling group. The workpiece 403 can be reliably adsorbed. After receiving the control command, the picking mechanism 40 drives the linear module 400 to drive the linear slide 401 to lower and move the picking component 403 laterally to the stop position of the workpiece to be processed on the guide component 6. The rotary cylinder 4030 in the picking component 403 drives the suction cup 4033 to rotate to a suitable angle. The air pipe 4032 connects to the external air source so that the suction cup 4033 generates an adsorption force to grab the workpiece to be processed. Then, the linear module 400 drives the linear slide 401 to rise to complete the picking action. At this time, the rotary cylinder 4030 drives the suction cup 4033 again. 33. Rotate to adjust the horizontally adsorbed workpiece to a vertical position and release it vertically onto the conveyor mechanism 41. The conveying component 411 in the conveyor mechanism 41 starts working under the drive of the drive motor 412. The conveying component 411 is fixed on the mounting bracket 3 by the connecting seat 410 and includes a guide 4110 with a slide groove 4110a and a transmission belt 4112. The drive wheel 4111 is rigidly connected to the output end of the drive motor 412. Rotation drives the transmission belt 4112 to move in the slide groove 4110a, and the workpiece to be processed moves in the slide groove 4110a. Within 0a, the workpiece is limited. As the conveyor belt 4112 moves to the next processing station, the limiting cylinder 4131 in the limiting assembly 413 drives the limiting plate 4132 to extend, preventing the workpiece from falling and waiting for the robot to grab it. After the robot takes away the workpiece, the limiting cylinder 4131 drives the limiting plate 4132 to retract, and at the same time, the clamping motor 4133 drives the clamping block 4134 to retract, releasing the subsequent workpiece to continue sliding down the slide 4110a. Through the above steps, the automatic sorting and conveying of the workpiece is realized, improving production efficiency and continuity.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, without departing from the design spirit of the present utility model, any equivalent changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art to the structure, features and principles of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope of the patent application of the present utility model.
