[0039] In the toothbrush head production process, the feeding of un-bristled toothbrush heads is a crucial step, which can be automated using a toothbrush head feeding machine. The vibration component is a key structure in this automated feeding process.
[0040] Existing vibratory feeders typically have a flat surface, allowing the vibratory feeder to directly vibrate the un-bristled toothbrush heads fed to it. However, this method often causes the un-bristled toothbrush heads to shake continuously during vibration, preventing effective alignment and affecting feeding efficiency.
[0041] This invention proposes a vibration component to achieve automatic arrangement of un-bristled toothbrush heads and improve the feeding efficiency of un-bristled toothbrush heads.
[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the vibration assembly 20 includes a base 100, a vibratory plate 200, a power component (not shown in the figure), and an anti-sway unit 300. The vibratory plate 200 is disposed on the base 100; the power component is disposed on the base 100 and located at the bottom of the vibratory plate 200, and the power component is drivenly connected to the vibratory plate 200 to drive the vibratory plate 200 to vibrate; the anti-sway unit 300 is disposed on the upper surface of the vibratory plate 200, and multiple sets of anti-sway units 300 are provided at intervals. Each set of anti-sway units 300 includes two anti-sway protrusions 310 arranged at intervals, and the neck of the toothbrush head without bristles can be adapted to fit between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 located in the same anti-sway unit 300.
[0043] The vibration assembly 20 is used to arrange un-bristled toothbrush heads, which are suitable for electric toothbrushes. The un-bristled toothbrush head includes a head, a neck, and a tail arranged in sequence. The head of the un-bristled toothbrush head has a bristle insertion hole for inserting bristles. The neck of the bristled toothbrush head connects the head and the tail. The outer diameter of the neck is smaller than the outer diameter of the head and smaller than the outer diameter of the tail. The tail of the un-bristled toothbrush head gradually expands away from the neck. The end of the tail away from the neck is used to connect to the handle of the electric toothbrush.
[0044] The base 100 provides a mounting foundation and support for the vibration assembly 20. In one embodiment, the base 100 is mounted on the base 10 or other external mounting base. The base 100 has an internal receiving cavity 110, the opening of which faces away from the base 10 or other external mounting base to provide mounting space for other structures. The base 100 can be made of materials such as plastic or metal, and there is no limitation on this.
[0045] The vibratory plate 200 is used to hold the toothbrush head without bristles. A power component drives the vibratory plate 200 to vibrate, thereby changing the position of the toothbrush head without bristles on the vibratory plate 200. In one embodiment, the vibratory plate 200 is configured as a plane, disposed on the top of the base 100 and covering the opening of the receiving cavity 110. The power component is disposed in the receiving cavity 110 and is drivenly connected to the vibratory plate 200. In one embodiment, the side wall of the base 100 is provided with a conductive plug, and the power component is electrically connected to the conductive plug, which is used for electrical connection to an external power source or device.
[0046] The anti-sway unit 300 is used to position and arrange the un-bristled toothbrush heads, preventing them from constantly shaking on the vibrating plate 200. This facilitates the subsequent robotic arm's grasping of the un-bristled toothbrush heads that have been secured in the anti-sway unit 300. In one embodiment, the anti-sway unit 300 protrudes from the vibrating plate 200 on the side opposite to the power component. Multiple sets of anti-sway units 300 are spaced apart on the vibrating plate 200. The distance between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 of the same anti-sway unit 300 is adapted to the size of the neck of the un-bristled toothbrush head, so that when the un-bristled toothbrush head shakes between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 of the same anti-sway unit 300, it can be secured between the two anti-sway protrusions 310, preventing further shaking. During vibration, the necks of multiple un-bristled toothbrush heads can be secured one-to-one with multiple sets of anti-sway units 300, preventing multiple un-bristled toothbrush heads from stacking together. In one embodiment, the anti-shake protrusion 310 is configured as a dot. In another embodiment, the anti-shake protrusion 310 is configured as a bump. The anti-shake protrusion 310 can be made of materials such as silicone, rubber, or plastic to avoid damaging the surface of the un-bristled toothbrush head. The shape of the anti-shake protrusion 310 can be flexibly set according to actual use, and is not limited here.
[0047] In the technical solution of this utility model, the vibration component 20 is used to arrange the toothbrush heads without bristles. The vibration component 20 is provided with a base 100, a vibration plate 200, a power component, and an anti-shake unit 300. The vibration plate 200 is located on the base 100. The power component is located on the base 100 and at the bottom of the vibration plate 200. The power component is driven and connected to the vibration plate 200 to drive the vibration plate 200 to vibrate. The anti-shake unit 300 is located on the upper surface of the vibration plate 200. Multiple sets of anti-shake units 300 are provided at intervals. Each set of anti-shake units 300 includes two anti-shake protrusions 310 that are arranged at intervals. The neck of the toothbrush head without bristles can be fitted into the two anti-shake protrusions 310 located in the same anti-shake unit 300. Compared to the existing technology where the vibratory feeder 200 is a planar vibrating component 20, the technical solution of this utility model is equipped with an anti-sway unit 300. During the vibration of the vibratory feeder 200, the un-bristled toothbrush heads on the vibratory feeder 200 will move continuously. The necks of multiple un-bristled toothbrush heads can be locked one by one between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 of multiple sets of anti-sway units 300, realizing the effective arrangement of multiple un-bristled toothbrush heads on the vibratory feeder 200 and improving the feeding efficiency.
[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, multiple anti-sway units 300 are arranged in an array.
[0049] Specifically, in one embodiment, multiple anti-sway units 300 are arranged in a rectangular array of multiple rows and columns. Each row and each column includes multiple anti-sway units 300. All anti-sway units 300 in each row are evenly spaced, and all anti-sway units 300 in each column are evenly spaced. In one embodiment, the distance between two adjacent anti-sway units 300 in the same row and the distance between two adjacent anti-sway units 300 in the same column are both greater than the gap between two anti-sway protrusions 310 in the same anti-sway unit 300, so as to avoid the head and tail of the toothbrush head without bristles.
[0050] In one embodiment, multiple anti-sway units 300 located in adjacent columns are staggered. Specifically, in one embodiment, when the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head is inserted into the anti-sway assembly, the length direction of the bristle-less toothbrush head is perpendicular to the column direction of the array. When all the anti-sway units 300 are closely arranged, the spacing between two adjacent anti-sway units 300 in the same column is adapted to the size of the head or tail of the bristle-less toothbrush head, so that when the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head is inserted into one anti-sway unit 300, the head or tail of the bristle-less toothbrush head can be accommodated between two adjacent anti-sway units 300 in adjacent columns, preventing the bristle-less toothbrush heads from stacking together. The specific spacing between two adjacent anti-sway units 300 in the same column can be flexibly set according to the size of the head or tail of the bristle-less toothbrush head and the actual situation, and is not limited here.
[0051] In one embodiment, multiple anti-sway units 300 located in adjacent rows are arranged in a staggered manner. Specifically, in one embodiment, when the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head is engaged with the anti-sway assembly, the length direction of the bristle-less toothbrush head is perpendicular to the row direction of the array. When all the anti-sway units 300 are arranged closely together, the spacing between two adjacent groups of anti-sway units 300 in the same row is adapted to the size of the head or tail of the bristle-less toothbrush head. The specific spacing between two adjacent groups of anti-sway units 300 in the same row can be flexibly set according to the size of the head or tail of the bristle-less toothbrush head and the actual situation, and is not limited here.
[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, gaps can be reserved between adjacent rows or columns to allow for the head or tail of the toothbrush head without bristles; this is not limited here. The number of anti-shake units 300, as well as the number of rows and columns of the array, can be flexibly set according to actual conditions; this is not limited here.
[0053] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment achieves the orderly arrangement of the anti-shake units 300 by arranging them in an array, thereby enabling the reasonable arrangement of the un-bristled toothbrush heads; by arranging the anti-shake units 300 in a staggered manner, the space can be rationally utilized, avoiding the stacking of un-bristled toothbrush heads when the neck of the un-bristled toothbrush head is stuck in the anti-shake unit 300, further improving the feeding efficiency and the reliability of automatic arrangement.
[0054] In one embodiment, the distance between two anti-sway protrusions 310 located in the same anti-sway unit 300 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.
[0055] In one embodiment, the spacing between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 of each anti-sway unit 300 is adapted to the width of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head. The width of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head is typically between 4mm and 8mm, and the spacing between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 in the same anti-sway unit 300 is greater than or equal to 4mm and less than or equal to 8mm to accommodate the width of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head. The specific value of the spacing between the two anti-sway protrusions 310 of each anti-sway unit 300 can be flexibly set according to the actual width of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head used, and is not limited here.
[0056] In one embodiment, the height of the anti-sway protrusion 310 is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm.
[0057] In one embodiment, the height of the anti-wobbling protrusion 310 is adapted to the thickness of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head. The thickness of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head is typically between 2mm and 6mm. A height of 4mm or greater and 8mm or less for the anti-wobbling protrusion 310 accommodates this thickness, ensuring that the anti-wobbling protrusion 310 can limit the wobbling of the neck of the bristle-less toothbrush head, thereby limiting the wobbling of the toothbrush head itself. The specific value of the height of the anti-wobbling protrusion 310 can be flexibly set according to the actual thickness of the bristle-less toothbrush head neck used, and is not limited here.
[0058] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment, by limiting the distance between the two anti-shake protrusions 310 located in the same anti-shake unit 300, ensures that the neck of the un-bristled toothbrush head can be fitted into the two anti-shake protrusions 310 of any set of anti-shake units 300, thereby achieving anti-shake and arrangement of the un-bristled toothbrush head; by limiting the height of the anti-shake protrusions 310, the neck of the un-bristled toothbrush head will not easily fall out of the anti-shake unit 300 after being fitted into it, thus improving the reliability of the vibration component 20.
[0059] In one embodiment, the power element is configured as a voice coil motor.
[0060] The voice coil motor includes a coil and a magnet, which are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the receiving cavity 110. The coil is located between the magnet and the vibrating disk 200 and is connected to the vibrating disk 200. When current passes through the coil, the coil generates a magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by the coil interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet, allowing the coil to move relative to the magnet. By changing the direction of the current, the coil can be moved closer to or away from the vibrating disk 200, thereby causing the vibrating disk 200 to vibrate. By changing the frequency of the current, the vibration frequency can be adjusted.
[0061] In one embodiment, multiple voice coil motors are provided, evenly spaced around the bottom periphery of the vibrating disk 200. In another embodiment, an operation panel 130 is provided on the outer wall of the base 100, which is electrically connected to the voice coil motors and used to control the start and stop of the voice coil motors and the frequency and direction of the current in the voice coil motors. In one embodiment, the voice coil motors are located within the receiving cavity 110 of the base 100, and both the base 100 and the vibrating disk 200 have rectangular cross-sectional shapes. Four voice coil motors are provided, located at the four corners of the bottom of the vibrating disk 200. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2In one embodiment, a fixed bracket 120 is provided inside the receiving cavity 110. The fixed bracket 120 is arranged along the inner periphery of the receiving cavity 110, and the fixed bracket 120 has fixed positions 121, each fixed position 121 having a voice coil motor (not shown in the figure). Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the base 100 and the vibrating plate 200 can also be set to a circular or irregular shape, etc. The number and position of the voice coil motors can be flexibly set according to the number and size of the vibrating plate 200, and there is no limitation here.
[0062] The technical solution of this embodiment of the utility model, by configuring the power component as a voice coil motor, can achieve gentler vibration and faster response, thereby improving the vibration reliability of the vibration assembly 20. By setting multiple voice coil motors, the stability and uniformity of vibration can be ensured, further improving the reliability of the vibration assembly 20.
[0063] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the vibration assembly 20 further includes an elastic support plate 400, which is disposed between the vibrating disk 200 and the voice coil motor and connects the vibrating disk 200 and the voice coil motor.
[0064] In one embodiment, an elastic support plate 400 is disposed within the receiving cavity 110 and adheres to the lower surface of the vibrating plate 200. The coil of the voice coil motor is connected to the side of the elastic support plate 400 away from the vibrating plate 200, and the other side of the elastic support plate 400 is connected to the vibrating plate 200. The size and shape of the elastic support plate 400 can be flexibly configured according to the size and shape of the vibrating plate 200. The elastic support plate 400 can be made of materials with good strength and elasticity, such as aluminum alloy, phosphor bronze, or carbon steel; no limitation is imposed here.
[0065] When the coil moves under the influence of the magnetic field, the force on the coil is transmitted to the elastic support plate 400. The elastic deformation capability of the elastic support plate 400 allows the coil to move freely and transmits the force of the coil evenly to the vibrating plate 200, thereby achieving stable vibration of the vibrating plate 200.
[0066] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment, by setting an elastic support plate 400, can avoid stress concentration, so that the vibratory plate 200 can deform appropriately and remain stable during vibration, thereby improving the stability of vibration and thus improving the reliability of the vibration assembly 20.
[0067] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the vibratory feeder 200 includes a base plate 210 and a baffle 220. The base plate 210 is disposed on the base 100, and the anti-sway unit 300 is disposed on the side of the base plate 210 away from the power member. The baffle 220 is disposed on the side of the base plate 210 away from the power member and is arranged around the periphery of the base plate 210.
[0068] In one embodiment, a base plate 210 covers the opening of the receiving cavity 110, and the periphery of the bottom of the base plate 210 is connected to the base 100. An elastic support plate 400 is attached to the side of the base plate 210 facing the receiving cavity 110. A baffle 220 is arranged around the periphery of the side of the base plate 210 away from the receiving cavity 110, forming a vibration groove, and an anti-sway unit 300 is disposed in the vibration groove. The height of the baffle 220 is greater than the thickness of the toothbrush head without bristles, and the specific height of the baffle 220 can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, and is not limited here. In one embodiment, the anti-sway protrusion 310 is integrally formed with the base plate 210. In another embodiment, the anti-sway protrusion 310 can also be provided on the base plate 210 by means of bonding or snap-fitting. The base plate 210 can be configured as a material with good wear resistance and strength and capable of producing moderate deformation, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, or carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and is not limited here.
[0069] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment is that the vibratory plate 200 includes a base plate 210 and a baffle 220. The base plate 210 can drive the toothbrush head without bristles to shake, and the baffle 220 can prevent the toothbrush head without bristles from falling off the base plate 210 during vibration, thereby improving the reliability of the vibration component 20.
[0070] This utility model also proposes a toothbrush head feeding machine for feeding un-bristled toothbrush heads, including the vibration component 20 of the above embodiments. The specific structure of the vibration component 20 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this toothbrush head feeding machine adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
[0071] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the toothbrush head feeding machine further includes a base 10 and a hopper assembly 30, a detection assembly 40, a handling robot 50, a storage and transfer assembly 60, and a discharge robot 70 disposed on the base 10. A vibration assembly 20 is disposed on the base 10 and near the discharge end of the hopper assembly 30. The hopper assembly 30 stores un-bristled toothbrush heads and transfers them to the vibration assembly 20. The detection assembly 40 is located directly above the vibration assembly 20 and is used to detect whether un-bristled toothbrush heads on the vibratory feeder 200 are stuck in the anti-sway unit 300. The storage and transfer assembly 60 is located on one side of the vibration assembly 20, and the handling robot 50 moves between the storage and transfer assembly 60 and the vibration assembly 20. The discharge robot 70 is located above the storage and transfer assembly 60 and is used to move the un-bristled toothbrush heads moved by the storage and transfer assembly 60 to the discharge end to the subsequent workstation.
[0072] In one embodiment, the toothbrush head feeding machine further includes a control system, which is electrically connected to each functional component to control the operation of each functional component. The control system includes a controller and a processing unit, and its specific functions are mainly implemented through logic algorithms, which are not limited here.
[0073] After the hopper assembly 30 transports and combs the un-bristled toothbrush heads, the un-bristled toothbrush heads fall from the discharge end of the hopper assembly 30 to the vibration assembly 20. The vibration of the vibrating plate 200 causes the un-bristled toothbrush heads to get stuck in the anti-sway unit 300. When the detection assembly 40 detects that an un-bristled toothbrush head is stuck in the anti-sway unit 300, the control system controls the handling robot 50 to transport all the un-bristled toothbrush heads stuck in the anti-sway unit 300 on the vibrating plate 200 to the storage and transfer assembly 60. The storage and transfer assembly 60 moves the un-bristled toothbrush heads to the discharge end, and the control system controls the unloading robot 70 to move the un-bristled toothbrush heads to the subsequent workstation.
[0074] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
