Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism, feeding equipment and production line. Background Technology
[0002] In medical testing and biological laboratories, test tubes are typically transported continuously via conveyor chains. Traditional methods require stopping or slowing down the machine when replenishing test tubes, leading to the following problems:
[0003] 1. Reduced production efficiency: Frequent production line shutdowns reduce the continuous output time, resulting in lost production capacity.
[0004] 2. Reduced equipment lifespan: Frequent start-ups and shutdowns cause additional mechanical and thermal stress on equipment, especially motors, transmission systems, heating / cooling systems, accelerating equipment wear and aging.
[0005] 3. Increased quality risks: After equipment shutdown and restart, process parameters need to reach a stable state again. Products manufactured during this period may not meet quality characteristics such as dimensions, strength, color, and surface finish, leading to increased scrap or rework rates.
[0006] In addition, some related technologies use a stop-and-position system combined with a robotic arm to grab and replenish test tubes, but these still have drawbacks, including:
[0007] 1. Forced shutdown: Each replenishment requires the chain to stop for 2-3 seconds, which will still cause a significant loss of production capacity over the years;
[0008] 2. High positioning accuracy requirements: The robotic arm and chain must be aligned at the millimeter level when stationary; failure rate > 5%.
[0009] 3. Incompatible with high-speed production lines: When the chain speed is >0.5m / s, the failure rate of replenishment increases dramatically. Utility Model Content

[0023] The feeding turntable has multiple material troughs spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and the feeding turntable has an infeed station and an outfeed station. The driving component is used to drive the feeding turntable to rotate so that the material troughs can switch between the infeed station and the outfeed station.
[0024] The material trough located at the feeding station can receive materials output from the storage component, and the material trough located at the discharging station can discharge materials to the empty material position.
[0025] Furthermore, the storage assembly includes a storage bin and a sealing plate. The storage bin has a replenishment port and a supply port.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a feeding verification module, which is located downstream of the feeding module in the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The feeding verification module is used to detect the material status at the empty material position.
[0029] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a second quick-release component, on which the feeding module is disposed, and the second quick-release component is used to detachably mount the feeding module on the conveyor line.

[0045] 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.
[0046] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application discloses a feeding mechanism, which is disposed on the conveyor line 500 of the feeding equipment, including: a feeding module 100 and a detection module 200;
[0047] The detection module 200 is positioned upstream of the feeding module 100 in the conveying direction of the conveyor line 500; the detection module 200 includes a photoelectric sensor assembly, which is used to detect the empty material position on the conveyor line 500; the feeding module 100 is used to output material to the empty material position.
[0048] In the embodiments of this application, a detection module 200 is set upstream of the feeding module 100. The detection module 200 can detect the empty material position on the conveyor line 500 in a timely manner through photoelectric detection, so that the feeding module 100 can output material to the empty material position, thereby achieving the effect of automatic feeding when the conveyor line 500 is running continuously, ensuring production continuity and production efficiency.
[0049] It is understood that the feeding mechanism in this embodiment can be directly installed on or modified onto the conveyor line 500. Based on the interval between the detection module 200 and the feeding module 100 along the conveying direction, the conveyor line 500 can run continuously and maintain operating efficiency. At the same time, the reliability of detection is ensured by the setting of photoelectric sensor components, resulting in a low speed synchronization error rate of the feeding module 100 and improved accuracy of the feeding module 100 in outputting materials to the empty material position, thereby reducing the material breakage rate. On this basis, it can be adapted to conveyor lines 500 with various operating speeds.
[0050] In some embodiments, materials are placed on the conveyor line 500 and flow sequentially with the conveyor line 500. When there is a vacancy in the material queue on the conveyor line 500, the photoelectric sensor component can identify and obtain the information of the vacancy position in a timely manner. After receiving the information of the vacancy position, the replenishment module 100 determines the timing of material output based on the conveying speed of the conveyor line 500, so that the replenishment module 100 can output the material to the vacancy position in a timely manner, achieving the effect of replenishing materials without stopping the conveyor line 500.
[0051] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism of this application is used for test tube transportation in scenarios such as medical testing and biological laboratories. The feed equipment conveyor line 500 is a chain conveyor line 500. The feeding mechanism based on this application can adapt to various test tube sizes and various chain speeds, thereby increasing production capacity and reducing errors. However, it should be understood that, based on the disclosure of the embodiments of this application, simple adaptive improvements made by those skilled in the art without creative effort, enabling the feeding mechanism to be applied to scenarios in other technical fields, should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0052] In some embodiments, the photoelectric sensor assembly may be configured with structural forms including, but not limited to, through-beam photoelectric sensors, reflective photoelectric sensors, and fiber optic photoelectric sensors, and can be selectively configured according to actual needs. For example, in application scenarios where space is limited and detection distance is short, using a reflective photoelectric sensor can better meet the requirements of detection accuracy and cost.
[0053] In some embodiments, the feeding module 100 may be configured to include, but is not limited to, a robotic arm feeding mechanism, a gravity feeding mechanism, a conveyor-guided feeding mechanism, etc. The structure of the feeding module 100 can be designed specifically according to actual usage requirements so that it can smoothly output materials to the empty material position.
[0054] The following will combine Figures 1 to 2 The feeding mechanism disclosed in the embodiments of this application will be explained and described in detail.
[0055] To further improve the accuracy of photoelectric detection and to enhance the convenience of setting up photoelectric sensor components, in some embodiments of this application, for example, the photoelectric sensor component includes a reflective photoelectric sensor 211 and a reflector component 212, with the reflective photoelectric sensor 211 and the reflector component 212 being configured in conjunction.
[0056] Understandably, the reflective photoelectric sensor 211 and the reflector component 212 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the conveyor line 500. The reflective photoelectric sensor 211 emits light, and when there is material on the conveyor line 500, the light path will be blocked. At this time, the control device, such as the PLC, determines that the position on the conveyor line 500 is in a material state. When there is no material, the reflector component 212 will reflect the light, and the reflective photoelectric sensor 211 can receive the reflected light. At this time, the control device determines that the position on the conveyor line 500 is in an empty material state and enables the feeding module 100 to take corresponding actions in a timely manner.
[0057] In some embodiments, the reflective photoelectric sensor 211 emits common light beams such as infrared light or visible red light, and the reflector component 212 makes the light beam "reflected" based on the principle of a reflector, thereby simplifying the installation.
[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the detection module 200 includes a control device; a reflective photoelectric sensor 211 is used to receive infrared light reflected from the reflector component 212 and feed back an electrical signal to the control device; the control device is configured to generate a material replenishment control command in response to the electrical signal of the reflective photoelectric sensor 211; and the material replenishment module 100 is configured to output material to an empty material position in response to the material replenishment control command.
[0059] Understandably, by setting up control devices, automatic material replenishment can be achieved, thereby increasing the automation level of the equipment and further improving production efficiency while ensuring production continuity.
[0060] In some embodiments, the control device may be configured as a controller commonly used for automation control, including but not limited to microcontrollers, relays, PLCs, or industrial PCs, depending on the scenario.
[0061] It should be understood that in scenarios such as medical testing and biological laboratories, the accuracy and continuity of the feeding module 100 are key to achieving the above-mentioned effect in order for test tubes to meet the requirements of continuous delivery as much as possible.
[0062] In this regard, by way of example, in some embodiments of this application, the feeding module 100 includes a storage component 110, a drive component 120 and a feeding turntable 130; the feeding turntable 130 is provided with a plurality of material troughs 131 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the feeding turntable 130 has an infeed station and an outfeed station; the drive component 120 is used to drive the feeding turntable 130 to rotate so that the material troughs 131 can switch between the infeed station and the outfeed station; wherein, the material trough 131 located at the infeed station can receive the material output from the storage component 110, and the material trough 131 located at the outfeed station can output the material to the empty material position.
[0063] It is understandable that the feeding turntable 130 is equipped with an infeed station and an outfeed station. Based on the set positions of the infeed station and the outfeed station, the relative positional relationship between the storage component 110 and the conveyor line 500 and the feeding turntable 130 is determined. The feeding turntable 130 is driven to rotate by the drive component 120, so that each material trough 131 on the feeding turntable 130 can sequentially reach the infeed station to receive the material output from the outfeed component, and then reach the outfeed station to output the material, thereby realizing the receiving and output of the material and achieving the automatic and reliable replenishment effect of the test tube.
[0064] In some embodiments, the feed trough 131 is configured with a corresponding groove structure shape capable of accommodating test tubes. Furthermore, to improve the stability of test tube conveying, baffles or blocks can be provided on the outside of the feeding turntable 130 to prevent test tubes from flying out, but the baffles or blocks need to have gaps so that the infeed and outfeed stations can be used normally.
[0065] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 110 is located above the feeding turntable 130, the conveyor line 500 is located below the feeding turntable 130, and the infeed station and the discharge station are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the feeding turntable 130, so as to ensure the accuracy and stability of material conveying in conjunction with the effect of gravity.
[0066] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 110 includes a storage bin 111 and a sealing plate 112. The storage bin 111 has a replenishment port and a supply port. The supply port is used to connect with the feeding station. The sealing plate 112 is closable on the storage bin 111 and is used to close or open the replenishment port. It is understood that the storage bin 111 is used to contain materials and sequentially convey the materials to the feeding turntable 130. The sealing plate 112 is closable on the storage bin 111, so that when the sealing plate 112 closes the storage bin 111, the materials can be smoothly conveyed to the feeding turntable 130. When the materials in the storage bin 111 are insufficient, the sealing plate 112 can be opened to replenish the materials.
[0067] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 110 further includes a proximity sensor 113, which is used to detect the storage information in the storage bin 111. It is understood that by detecting the storage information in the storage bin 111 through the proximity sensor 113, it is determined whether the material is sufficient so that technicians can replenish the test tubes in a timely manner and ensure the continuity of production.
[0068] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 110 includes two storage bins 111, one of which is used to store test tubes and the other is used to supply material to the feeding station. Specifically, the proximity sensor 113 is configured as a material shortage detection proximity switch. The proximity sensor 113 is respectively installed on each storage bin 111. The two storage bins 111 work together to increase the capacity of the test tubes, thereby facilitating the material replenishment operation by technicians.
[0069] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 110 further includes a first quick-release component 114, which is connected to a sealing plate 112. The sealing plate 112 is detachably mounted on the storage bin 111 via the first quick-release component 114. It is understood that the first quick-release component 114 makes the opening and closing of the sealing plate 112 more convenient, improving the ease of operation for technicians and the efficiency of material replenishment.
[0070] In some embodiments of this application, to enable seamless integration of the replenishment module 100 onto the conveyor line 500, the replenishment mechanism further includes a second quick-release component 400. The replenishment module 100 is disposed on the second quick-release component 400, which allows the replenishment module 100 to be detachably mounted on the conveyor line 500. It is understood that the integrated placement of the replenishment module 100 on the second quick-release component 400, and the movable mounting of the second quick-release component 400 on the conveyor line 500, facilitates the addition and / or modification of the replenishment module 100 through modular design. Simultaneously, the placement of the second quick-release component 400 also facilitates maintenance of the conveyor line 500 without significantly affecting its operation. In the event of a malfunction in the conveyor line 500, the replenishment module 100 can be removed or detached via the second quick-release component 400 for maintenance.
[0071] In some embodiments, at least one of the first quick-release component 114 or the second quick-release component 400 may be configured to include, but is not limited to, common quick-release structures such as snap-on quick-release structure, plug-in quick-release structure, threaded quick-release structure, lever quick-release structure or magnetic quick-release structure.
[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding mechanism further includes a feeding verification module 300, which is located downstream of the feeding module 100 in the conveying direction of the conveyor line 500. The feeding verification module 300 is used to detect the material status at the empty material position. It is understood that the feeding verification module 300 is used to re-detect whether there is empty material on the conveyor line 500, thereby further improving the reliability of the feeding mechanism in the embodiments of this application.
[0073] In some embodiments, the material replenishment verification module 300 may adopt the same detection method as the detection module 200, that is, the material replenishment verification module 300 includes a photoelectric detection component, specifically including a reflective photoelectric sensor 211 and a reflector component 212 that are configured in conjunction, so as to determine the material status on the conveyor line 500 in a timely and accurate manner.
[0074] In other embodiments, since the material replenishment verification module 300 only serves a verification function, it can adaptably adopt methods including but not limited to optical detection, mechanical contact detection, electromagnetic induction detection, or ultrasonic detection when timeliness and high accuracy are not required. The verification detection method can be selected according to the actual application scenario.
[0075] The feeding mechanism of this application embodiment is described in detail below with reference to a specific example. It should be noted that the following embodiment is merely an exemplary description and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application.
[0076] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism in this embodiment is used to realize test tube empty detection, reliable test tube feeding, and test tube feeding verification without interrupting operation. The feeding mechanism includes a detection module 200, a feeding module 100, and a feeding verification module 300.
[0077] Furthermore, the detection module 200 includes an infrared reflective photoelectric sensor 211 and a matching reflector. When a test tube passes by, the light path is blocked, and the infrared reflective photoelectric sensor 211 does not receive the reflected infrared light, thus identifying it as a material-containing state. When the test tube is empty, the light path is unobstructed, and the infrared reflective photoelectric sensor 211 receives the infrared light reflected back from the reflector, thus identifying it as an empty-material state and feeding this signal back to the PLC.
[0078] The replenishment module 100 includes a cabinet-type storage silo 111 and a cylindrical storage silo 111, a servo motor and a servo driver, a feeding turntable 130, and a material shortage detection proximity switch. The cylindrical storage silo 111 is used to sequentially replenish test tubes to the feed trough 131 of the feeding turntable 130. When the PLC receives a message indicating a material shortage on the conveyor line 500, it sends a replenishment signal to the servo motor driver. The servo driver controls the servo motor to rotate the feeding turntable 130, intermittently replenishing the test tubes to the conveyor line 500. Simultaneously, the material shortage detection proximity switch detects the material status of the cabinet-type storage silo 111 and the cylindrical storage silo 111. When the cylindrical storage silo 111 is low on material, technicians can retrieve material from the cabinet-type storage silo 111 and add it to the cylindrical storage silo 111. When the cabinet-type storage silo 111 is low on material, technicians should replenish it from the inventory promptly.
[0079] Furthermore, the feeding module 100 also includes a pull-pin quick-release mechanism and a fixed-clamp quick-release structure. When in use, pulling the pull-pin allows the sealing plate 112 of the cylindrical storage hopper 111 to rotate at a certain angle, opening the feeding port for easy insertion of test tubes. When in use, opening the fixed clamp allows the entire feeding module 100 to flip upwards, enabling quick handling of pipe jams or other abnormalities on the conveyor line 500 below the feeding module 100.
[0080] The principle of the material replenishment verification module 300 is the same as that of the detection module 200. It detects the test tubes downstream of the material replenishment module 100 to ensure that there are no gaps in the test tubes on the conveyor line 500. If there is a gap, the equipment will stop immediately and alarm to prompt manual inspection.
[0081] The second aspect of this application discloses a feeding device, including a conveyor line 500 and a feeding mechanism according to the first aspect of this application.
[0082] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism is installed on the conveyor line 500, the detection module 200 is used to detect the conveyor line 500, and the feeding module 100 is used to feed the empty material position on the conveyor line 500.
[0083] The production line of the third aspect of this application can be a production line in scenarios such as medical testing and biological laboratories, or a production line in other technical fields, which is composed of multiple automated production equipment. The production line includes: the feeding equipment of the second aspect of this application.
[0084] It is easy to understand that the feeding device in the second aspect embodiment of this application and the production line in the third aspect embodiment of this application both have the same technical effect as the feeding mechanism in the first aspect embodiment, and therefore will not be described again.
