Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of color mark optical alignment and barcode recognition device for tube filling equipment, specifically to a color mark optical alignment and barcode recognition device for tube filling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] For various soft-tube packaging products such as facial cleansers, ointments, and food sauces, the filling process (automatic tube loading, dust removal, color mark alignment, barcode detection, material filling, tail heating, tail clamping, tail cutting, and finished product discharge) requires precise optical positioning of the color mark at the tube end for sealing alignment. Simultaneously, barcode recognition on the tube body is necessary to bind production data and achieve end-to-end tracking. Because soft tubes used in different applications exhibit significant differences in diameter, length, shape (e.g., irregularly shaped tubes), and color mark / barcode positions, filling equipment must be equipped with a height-adjustable positioning and recognition mechanism with rapid adaptive capabilities to efficiently and accurately meet the needs of multi-variety production. However, traditional filling equipment is only compatible with a single tube type, and color mark alignment and barcode detection are performed in separate steps, resulting in significant production limitations. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a color mark optical alignment and barcode recognition device for a tube filling equipment, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a color mark optical alignment and barcode recognition device for a flexible tube filling equipment, comprising a left cursor bracket and a right cursor bracket rotatable around a sleeve. Both the left and right cursor brackets are equipped with mounting plates fixed by bolts. Each mounting plate has a straight groove for adjusting height. The left mounting plate has a color mark sensor, and the right mounting plate has a vision camera. The sleeve passes through a circular angle gauge and a fixing plate. The circular angle gauge includes an engaging upper toothed plate and a lower toothed plate. The upper toothed plate is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, and the lower toothed plate is fixedly connected to the left cursor bracket. The bottom end of the sleeve supports the right cursor bracket, and the top of the sleeve has a locking nut for pressing the fixing plate.

[0006] It also includes a movable vertical shaft that passes through the sleeve. The top of the movable vertical shaft is provided with a fixed retaining ring, which is limited by the top of the sleeve. The movable vertical shaft is provided with a spring and a rotating seat. The top of the spring is pressed against the bottom of the sleeve, and the bottom of the spring is pressed against the rotating seat. The bottom of the rotating seat is provided with a snap-fit ​​pressure head.

[0007] As an improvement, a motion sensor is provided on the top of the fixing plate, which detects the movement of the retaining ring.

[0008] As an improvement, the fixing plate is provided with a vertical pole.

[0009] As an improvement, the rotating seat is rotatably connected to the movable vertical shaft via a bearing.

[0010] As an improvement, the pressure head is engaged with the rotating seat via a C-shaped plastic spring.

[0011] As an improvement, the locking nut presses the fixing plate together with a pad.

[0012] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: During adjustment, first loosen the locking nut to disengage the lower and upper toothed plates.

[0029] This embodiment is combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 8 This paper provides a detailed description of a color mark optical alignment and barcode recognition device for a tube filling equipment.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a color mark optical alignment and barcode recognition device for a tube filling equipment, including a left cursor bracket 3 and a right cursor bracket 4 that can rotate around a sleeve 2. Both the left cursor bracket 3 and the right cursor bracket 4 are provided with mounting plates 11 fixed by bolts. The mounting plates 11 are provided with straight slot holes 13 for adjusting height. The left mounting plate 11 is provided with a color mark sensor 16, and the right mounting plate 11 is provided with a vision camera 17. The width of the two mounting plates 11 is adjustable. The sleeve 2 passes through a circular angle ruler and a fixing plate 12. The circular angle ruler includes an engaging upper toothed plate 5 and a lower toothed plate 6. The upper toothed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 12, and the lower toothed plate 6 is fixedly connected to the left cursor bracket 3. The bottom end of the sleeve 2 supports the right cursor bracket 4, and the top of the sleeve 2 is provided with a locking nut 14 to press the fixing plate 12.

[0031] It also includes a movable vertical shaft 1, which passes through the sleeve 2. The top of the movable vertical shaft 1 is provided with a fixed retaining ring 7. The retaining ring 7 is limited by the top of the sleeve 2 to prevent the vertical shaft 1 from falling. The movable vertical shaft 1 is provided with a spring 8 and a rotating seat 9. The top of the spring 8 is pressed and engaged with the bottom of the sleeve 2, and the bottom of the spring 8 is pressed and engaged with the rotating seat 9. The bottom of the rotating seat 9 is provided with a snap-fit ​​pressure head 10.

[0032] The top of the fixing plate 12 is provided with a motion sensor 18, which detects the movement of the retaining ring 7.

[0033] The fixing plate 12 is provided with a vertical pole 20.

[0034] The rotating seat 9 is rotatably connected to the movable vertical shaft 1 via a bearing.

[0035] The pressure head 10 is engaged with the rotating seat 9 via a C-shaped plastic spring 15. The pressure head 10 can be removed by squeezing the C-shaped plastic spring 15 and can be replaced to fit the diameter of the hose 21.

[0036] The locking nut 14 presses the fixing plate 12 together with the pad 19.

[0037] In practice, the upright 20 and the fixing plate 12 are fixed to the filling equipment, and the hose 21 (with the end facing upwards) is fixed to the lifting mechanism of the filling equipment. Whenever a new type of hose 21 is to be filled, the color mark sensor 16 and the vision camera 17 must be adjusted to align and capture the color mark and barcode of the hose 21. During adjustment, first loosen the locking nut 14 to disengage the lower toothed plate 6 from the upper toothed plate 5. Then, rotate the left cursor bracket 3 and the right cursor bracket 4 so that the included angle is the same as the circumferential angle of the color mark and barcode. Then, adjust the height of the mounting plate 11 (the width is generally sufficient) so that the color mark sensor 16 and the vision camera 17 can align and capture the color mark and barcode, thus completing the adjustment.

[0038] When the hose reaches the color mark alignment and barcode detection station, the hose 21 moves directly below the pressure head 10. The lifting mechanism lifts the hose 21 and rotates it simultaneously. When the hose 21 lifts the pressure head 10, the vertical shaft 1 rises, the spring 8 acts as a buffer, and the retaining ring 7 rises and is detected by the motion sensor 18. The motion sensor 18 transmits motion data. The hose 21 rotates until the color mark sensor 16 detects the color mark at the end of the hose (data transmission), and at the same time, the vision camera 17 detects the barcode on the hose 21 (data transmission). The rotation stops, indicating that the hose 21 is in the correct position. Then the hose 21 falls to the next station. Each hose 21 is adjusted to the same position in sequence to achieve the subsequent end-sealing alignment.

[0039] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the actual scope of protection is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
