Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plastic bucket palletizing technology, and specifically relates to a palletizing device for plastic bucket production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of plastic buckets, palletizing is the orderly and stable stacking of individual plastic buckets on a pallet. Palletizing can stack multiple buckets vertically, making full use of three-dimensional space, significantly reducing the floor space occupied, reducing warehousing and transportation costs, and enabling fast and efficient mechanized handling through forklifts, pallet trucks, or stackers.

[0003] In existing technologies, finished plastic buckets are typically clamped and stacked using grippers. However, due to the limited travel of the grippers, they can only clamp and fix plastic buckets of a fixed diameter. Therefore, when clamping and stacking plastic buckets of different diameters, the type of gripper needs to be changed, which reduces its applicability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention addresses the problem that conventional methods of clamping and stacking manufactured plastic buckets using grippers have limited travel, thus limiting their application to buckets of a fixed diameter. This necessitates changing the gripper type when stacking buckets of different diameters, thereby reducing the applicability of the device. The present invention proposes a stacking device for plastic bucket production to overcome the aforementioned technical problems in existing related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a palletizing device for plastic bucket production, including a robotic arm:

[0007] The robotic arm is equipped with mounting components, drive components, transmission components, gripping components, and adjustment components.

[0008] The mounting component is fixedly mounted at its top end to the bottom end of the robot arm, so that the robot arm can drive the mounting component to move.

[0009] The drive assembly has its outer surface fixedly connected to one side of the transmission assembly so that the drive assembly drives the transmission assembly to operate.

[0010] The clamping assembly has its bottom end fixedly connected to the top end of the transmission assembly, so that the transmission assembly drives the clamping assembly to clamp the plastic bucket when it is in operation.

[0011] An adjusting component is configured to rotate between its outer surface and the interior of the clamping component, so that the adjusting component can adjust the stroke of the clamping component.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes a mounting plate, the top of which is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the robot arm, and a support rod is fixedly mounted inside the mounting plate, with a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes an electric actuator, the bottom end of which is fixedly mounted to the top end of the support plate, and a connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the electric actuator.

[0014] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a fixed base, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting plate, a transmission rod is rotatably mounted inside the fixed base, and a connecting base is rotatably mounted inside the transmission rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a rotating seat, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate. An installation block is rotatably arranged inside the rotating seat, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting seat. A gripper is slidably arranged inside the installation block.

[0016] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a threaded rod, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting block, the threaded surface of which is connected to the internal thread of the gripper, and a knob is fixedly mounted on one end of the threaded rod.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the mounting block, and the outer surface of the limiting rod is slidably set with the inside of the gripper.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This utility model moves a transmission component fixed at the output end by starting a drive component, which in turn moves a clamping component fixed at the top. Since there are multiple clamping components arranged in a circular array, they can retract themselves when moving to clamp and fix the plastic buckets inside. Then, in conjunction with a robotic arm and an installation component, the clamping components are used to stack the plastic buckets. By rotating the adjustment component, the clamping components with threads on the outer surface can be moved to adjust the clamping diameter, so that the clamping components can clamp plastic buckets of different diameters, thereby improving the applicability of this stacking device for plastic bucket production.

[0020] 2. This utility model drives the internally installed threaded rod to rotate by rotating the knob. Since the outer surface of the threaded rod is rotated with the inside of the mounting block, and the threaded surface of the threaded rod is connected with the internal thread of the clamp, when the threaded rod rotates, it can drive the clamp to move along the inside of the mounting block, thereby adjusting the clamping diameter of the clamp and thus improving the applicability of the palletizing device for plastic bucket production.

[0021] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a palletizing device for plastic bucket production, including a robotic arm 1:

[0034] The robotic arm 1 is equipped with an installation component 2, a drive component 3, a transmission component 4, a gripping component 5, and an adjustment component 6.

[0035] Mounting component 2 is fixedly mounted at its top end to the bottom end of robotic arm 1, so that robotic arm 1 can drive mounting component 2 to move.

[0036] The drive assembly 3 has its outer surface fixedly connected to one side of the transmission assembly 4 so that the drive assembly 3 drives the transmission assembly 4 to operate.

[0037] The clamping component 5 is fixedly connected at its bottom end to the top end of the transmission component 4 so that the transmission component 4 drives the clamping component 5 to clamp the plastic bucket when it is in operation.

[0038] Adjustment component 6 is rotatably configured with its outer surface relative to the interior of clamping component 5, so that adjustment component 6 adjusts the stroke of clamping component 5.

[0039] In use, the robot arm 1 drives the mounting component 2 installed at the bottom to move, so that the mounting component 2 moves the clamping component 5 fixed at the bottom to the top of the plastic bucket. Then, the drive component 3 is activated to drive the transmission component 4 fixed at the output end to move, so that the transmission component 4 pulls the clamping component 5 fixed at the top to move. Since there are multiple sets of clamping components 5 arranged in a circumferential array, when the clamping components 5 move, they can retract themselves to clamp and fix the plastic bucket inside the clamping components 5. Then, in conjunction with the robot arm 1 and the mounting component 2, the clamping components 5 are used to stack the plastic buckets. By rotating the adjustment component 6, the clamping components 5 with threads on the outer surface can be moved to adjust the clamping diameter of the clamping components 5 so that the clamping components 5 can clamp plastic buckets of different diameters.

[0040] This invention uses a drive assembly 3 to move a transmission assembly 4 fixed at the output end, which in turn moves a clamping assembly 5 fixed at the top. Since multiple clamping assemblies 5 are arranged in a circular array, they retract as they move, effectively clamping and securing the plastic buckets inside. Then, in conjunction with a robotic arm 1 and an installation assembly 2, the clamping assembly 5 is used to stack the plastic buckets. Rotating the adjustment assembly 6 moves the threaded clamping assembly 5, allowing for adjustment of its clamping diameter. This enables the clamping assembly 5 to hold plastic buckets of different diameters, thus expanding the applicability of this plastic bucket production palletizing device.

[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 201, the top of which is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the robot arm 1, a support rod 202 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting plate 201, and a support plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 202.

[0042] The support rod 202 allows an installation space to be formed between the support plate 203 and the mounting plate 201, thereby improving the practicality of the palletizing device for plastic bucket production.

[0043] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes an electric push rod 301, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed with the top end of the support plate 203, and a connecting plate 302 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 301.

[0044] The connecting plate 302 installed on the telescopic end is moved up and down by activating the electric push rod 301, so as to facilitate the movement of the connecting plate 302.

[0045] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 4 includes a fixed base 401, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting plate 302. A transmission rod 402 is rotatably disposed inside the fixed base 401, and a connecting base 403 is rotatably disposed inside the transmission rod 402.

[0046] By activating the electric push rod 301, the connecting plate 302 installed at the telescopic end is driven to move downward, so that the connecting plate 302 drives the fixed seat 401 fixed on the outer surface to move. This allows the fixed seat 401 to drive one end of the internally rotating transmission rod 402 to move, which in turn drives the other end of the internally rotating connecting seat 403 to move. Since the two ends of the transmission rod 402 are respectively rotated with the interior of the fixed seat 401 and the outer surface of the connecting seat 403, the transmission of force by the transmission rod 402 is made more stable.

[0047] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 5 includes a rotating seat 501, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate 203. An installation block 502 is rotatably disposed inside the rotating seat 501, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting seat 403. A gripper 503 is slidably disposed inside the installation block 502.

[0048] When the connecting seat 403 moves along with the transmission rod 402, it can cause the mounting block 502, which is fixed at the top, to rotate. Since the outer surface of the mounting block 502 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating seat 501, and the top of the rotating seat 501 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 203, when the mounting block 502 rotates, it can cause the internally sliding gripper 503 to rotate around the rotating seat 501, so that the gripper 503 can clamp the top of the plastic bucket during the rotation.

[0049] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 6 includes a threaded rod 601, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting block 502, the threaded surface of which is threadedly connected to the interior of the gripper 503, and a knob 602 is fixedly mounted on one end of the threaded rod 601.

[0050] The threaded rod 601 installed inside is driven to rotate by rotating the knob 602. Since the outer surface of the threaded rod 601 is rotated inside the mounting block 502, and the threaded surface of the threaded rod 601 is connected to the internal thread of the gripper 503, when the threaded rod 601 rotates, it can drive the gripper 503 to move along the inside of the mounting block 502, thereby adjusting the clamping diameter of the gripper 503 and improving the applicability of the palletizing device for plastic bucket production.

[0051] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned mounting block 502, a limiting rod 7 is fixedly connected inside the mounting block 502, and the outer surface of the limiting rod 7 is slidably disposed with the inside of the gripper 503.

[0052] When the gripper 503 moves, it can move along the direction of the internally sliding limit rod 7, thereby further improving the stability of the gripper 503 during movement.

[0053] Through the above technical solution, 1. The drive component 3 drives the transmission component 4 fixed at the output end to move, so that the transmission component 4 pulls the clamping component 5 fixed at the top to move during the movement. Since there are multiple sets of clamping components 5 arranged in a circumferential array, when the clamping component 5 moves, it can retract itself to clamp and fix the plastic bucket inside the clamping component 5. Then, in conjunction with the robot arm 1 and the installation component 2, the clamping component 5 is driven to stack the plastic buckets. By rotating the adjustment component 6, the clamping component 5 with threads on the outer surface can be moved to adjust the clamping diameter of the clamping component 5 so that the clamping component 5 can clamp plastic buckets of different diameters, thereby improving the applicability of the palletizing device for plastic bucket production.

[0054] 2. The threaded rod 601 installed inside is driven to rotate by rotating the knob 602. Since the outer surface of the threaded rod 601 is rotated inside the mounting block 502, and the threaded surface of the threaded rod 601 is connected to the internal thread of the gripper 503, when the threaded rod 601 rotates, it can drive the gripper 503 to move along the inside of the mounting block 502, thereby adjusting the clamping diameter of the gripper 503 and improving the applicability of the palletizing device for plastic bucket production.
