Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment for assembling containers for daily chemical products, and in particular to equipment for assembling spray nozzle caps for daily chemical products. Background Technology
[0002] For ease of use, pressable spray nozzles are installed on the containers of daily chemical products. By pressing the nozzle, the solution inside the container flows out or sprays from the nozzle nozzle's nozzle. Currently, the assembly mechanism for the nozzle nozzle needs to handle the feeding of the nozzle nozzle, the feeding of the nozzle, and the assembly between the nozzle nozzle and the nozzle. Existing nozzle nozzle feeding operations are typically done manually or by using finger grippers. Manual feeding is inefficient and labor-intensive, while finger gripper feeding involves a large lateral movement of the gripper from the feeding assembly to the assembly line, thus limiting the feeding speed and the assembly line's movement speed. Furthermore, the finger gripper can only hold the nozzle nozzle and cannot change its orientation, limiting its versatility.
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to increase the feeding speed of the nozzle cover. Utility Model Content

A second lifting drive element drives the flipping lifting base to move up and down at the upper limit of the flipping fixed base.

[0012] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly includes a second lateral drive element, a clamping fixed seat, and a clamping movable seat.

Since each segment can be performed independently, the time for each component to complete its action is relatively short, which greatly improves the feeding speed of the nozzle cover. Moreover, the entire process is automated, which greatly saves labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic nozzle cover feeding mechanism, including a conveying channel 1, a transfer component 2, a moving component 3, a tilting component 4, a clamping component 5, and a feeding station 6. The transfer component 2 transports material from the conveying channel 1 to the tilting moving component 3, and the tilting moving component 3 and the clamping component 5 complete the material transfer. The tilting moving component 3 is located between the conveying channel 1 and the clamping component 5. The clamping component 5 transfers material from the tilting moving component 3 to the feeding station 6.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 The conveying channel 1 is connected to the vibrating plate. Material is poured into the vibrating plate, which arranges the material into a single moving line. The material enters the conveying channel 1 from the vibrating plate. To improve material transfer efficiency, the conveying channel 1 can have two or more channels. The conveying channel 1 is equipped with a material sensor 11, which detects whether material has passed through. A discharge station 12 is located at one end of the conveying channel 1 near the transfer assembly 2.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 The transfer assembly 2 includes a first lateral drive element 21, a first lifting drive element 22, and a first clamping element 23. Both the first lateral drive element 21 and the first lifting drive element 22 are pneumatic or electric cylinders with linear motion at their output ends. The first clamping element 23 is an electric clamping cylinder or a finger-gripping pneumatic cylinder. The first lateral drive element 21 and the first lifting drive element 22 together complete the lateral movement and lifting / lowering of the first clamping element 23, which clamps the material in the discharge station 12. Since the material is a nozzle cover, which has a recessed shape, one clamping method is for the output end of the first clamping element 23 to open on the inner wall of the nozzle cover to achieve clamping; another method is for the output end of the first clamping element 23 to clamp on the outer wall of the nozzle cover. One of these two methods can be chosen. The first clamping element 23 transfers the material from the discharge station 12 to the moving assembly 3 through lifting and lateral movements.
[0028] Please see Figure 3The moving component 3 is located below the flipping component 4. The moving component 3 includes a moving station 31 and a first linear drive element 32. The number of moving stations 31 corresponds to the number of material conveying channels 1. The first linear drive element 32 can be a cylinder, electric cylinder, or electric slide rail with linear motion at the output end. The moving station 31 is located on the output end of the first linear drive element 32. The first linear drive element 32 drives the moving station 31 to move back and forth between the material conveying channel 1 and the clamping component 5. The transfer component 2 transfers the material from the discharge station 12 to the moving station 31.
[0029] In order to adjust the direction of the material, in this embodiment, preferably, the moving component 3 includes a first rotation drive element 33 and a reversing seat 34. The reversing seat 34 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the first linear drive element 32. The first rotation drive element 33 is a pneumatic cylinder, electric cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder with a rotating output end. The fixed end of the first rotation drive element 33 is set on the reversing seat 34. The moving station 31 rotates at the upper limit of the reversing seat 34. The output ends of the moving station 31 and the first rotation drive element 33 are respectively provided with synchronous wheels fixedly connected to them. The output end of the first rotation drive element 33 drives the moving station 31 to rotate through the synchronous belt and the synchronous wheel, thereby reversing the direction of the material set on the moving station 31.
[0030] Please see Figure 4 The flipping assembly 4 includes a flipping fixed base 41, a flipping lifting base 42, a second lifting drive element 43, a first driving flipping component 44, and a second clamping element 45. The second lifting drive element 43 is a pneumatic cylinder, electric cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder with linear motion at its output end. The second clamping element 45 is a finger-gripping electric cylinder or finger-gripping pneumatic cylinder. The fixed end of the second lifting drive element 43 is fixedly mounted on the flipping fixed base 41, and its output end is fixedly connected to the flipping lifting base 42. The second lifting drive element 43 drives the flipping lifting base 42 to rise and fall at its upper limit on the flipping fixed base 41. The first driving flipping component 44 is mounted on the flipping lifting base 42 and drives the second clamping element 45 to rotate. After the second lifting drive element 43 drives the second clamping element 45 to rise, fall, and flip, the second clamping element 45 clamps and transfers the material on the moving station 31.
[0031] To facilitate the tilting motion and reduce the use of driving components, in this embodiment, preferably, the first driving tilting component 44 includes a tilting shaft 441, a tilting bearing seat 442, a first eccentric member 443, a first limiting roller 444, and a first limiting member 445. The tilting bearing seat 442 and the first limiting member 445 are fixedly mounted on the tilting lifting seat 42, and the tilting shaft 441 is limited to rotate within the tilting bearing seat 442. One end of the first eccentric member 443 is connected to the tilting shaft 441, and the other end is provided with the first limiting roller 444. The first limiting roller 444 is limited to rotate within the first eccentric member 443. The first limiting member 445 is provided with a first limiting groove, within which the first limiting roller 444 is limited to move. The first limiting groove is set at a right angle and the corner position is arc-shaped. The first eccentric member 443 and the tilting shaft 441 are connected by a keyway and a key to prevent relative radial movement between the first eccentric member 443 and the tilting shaft 441. When the second lifting drive element 43 drives the tilting lifting seat 42 to lift, the tilting shaft 441 needs to be lifted, but the first eccentric part 443 is limited by the first limiting roller 444 and the first limiting groove. Therefore, the first eccentric part 443 rotates and the first limiting roller 444 moves in the first limiting groove, thereby realizing the rotation of the tilting shaft 441.
[0032] Please see Figure 5 To facilitate circuit setup, in this embodiment, preferably, the rotating shaft 441 is fixedly equipped with a rotating plate 446. One end of the rotating shaft 441 has a wiring inlet 4411, and the interior of the rotating shaft 441 has a wiring channel 4412 communicating with the wiring inlet 4411. The rotating plate 446 has a wiring hole communicating with the wiring channel 4412. The wiring hole penetrates the rotating plate 446, allowing wires, air passages, or oil passages for connecting the second clamping element 45 to enter from the wiring inlet 4411, pass through the wiring channel 4412 and the wiring hole, and connect or communicate with the second clamping element 45. The second clamping element 45 is fixedly mounted on the rotating plate 446.
[0033] The clamping assembly 5 includes a second lateral drive element 51, a clamping fixed base 52, a clamping movable base 53, a third lifting drive element 54, a second drive tilting component 55, and a third clamping element 56. The second lateral drive element 51 and the third lifting drive element 54 are electric cylinders or pneumatic cylinders with linear motion at their output ends. The output end of the second lateral drive element 51 is fixedly connected to the clamping fixed base 52, and the second lateral drive element 51 drives the clamping fixed base 52 to move in a limited position.
[0034] Please see Figure 6The fixed end of the third lifting drive element 54 is fixedly mounted on the clamping fixed seat 52, and the output end is fixedly connected to the clamping movable seat 53. The third lifting drive element 54 drives the clamping movable seat 53 to move up and down at the upper limit of the clamping fixed seat 52. The second driving flipping component 55 is mounted on the clamping movable seat 53, and the second driving flipping component 55 drives the third clamping element 56 to rotate. During the lifting and flipping process of the second lifting drive element 43 driving the second clamping element 45, the second clamping element 45 clamps and transfers the material, thereby completing the transfer of the material from the flipping component 4 to the loading station 6.
[0035] In practical applications, the feeding station 6 can be set on the assembly line or turntable to facilitate the assembly of materials.
[0036] The structure of the second drive flipping component 55 is the same as that of the first drive flipping component 44. After flipping, the second clamping element 45 and the third clamping element 56 are on the same plane, which facilitates the transfer of materials. Since the material is a nozzle cover, which is a groove shape, there are two clamping methods. The first method is that the output end of the first clamping element 23 opens on the inner wall of the nozzle cover to achieve clamping. The second method is that the output end of the first clamping element 23 clamps the outer wall of the nozzle cover. The second clamping element 45 and the third clamping element 56 each choose one of these methods and do not repeat them.
[0037] To facilitate the tilting motion and reduce the use of driving components, in this embodiment, preferably, the second driving tilting component 55 includes a rotating shaft 551, a rotating bearing seat 552, a second eccentric member 553, a second limiting roller 554, and a second limiting member 555. The rotating bearing seat 552 and the second limiting member 555 are fixedly mounted on the clamping moving seat 53, and the rotating shaft 551 is limited to rotate within the rotating bearing seat 552. One end of the second eccentric member 553 is connected to the rotating shaft 551, and the other end is provided with the second limiting roller 554. The second limiting roller 554 is limited to rotate within the second eccentric member 553, and the second limiting member 555 is provided with a second limiting groove. The second limiting roller 554 is limited to move within the second limiting groove, which is set at a right angle and has an arc-shaped corner. The second eccentric member 553 and the rotating shaft 551 are connected by a keyway and a key to prevent relative radial movement between the second eccentric member 553 and the rotating shaft 551. When the second lifting drive element 43 drives the clamping moving seat 53 to lift, the rotating shaft 551 needs to be lifted, but the second eccentric member 553 is limited by the second limiting roller 554 and the second limiting groove. Therefore, the second eccentric member 553 rotates and the second limiting roller 554 moves in the second limiting groove, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating shaft 551.
[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The material conveying channel 1 conveys the material to the discharge station 12. The transfer component 2 completes the material transfer from the discharge station 12 to the moving station 31 through lifting and lateral movement. The second clamping element 45 completes the material removal from the moving station 31 through lifting and lateral movement. After the second clamping element 45 and the third clamping element 56 are flipped, the second clamping element 45 and the third clamping element 56 are on the same plane. The material is transferred from the second clamping element 45 to the third clamping element 56. The third clamping element 56 completes the material placement into the loading station 6 through lifting and lateral movement.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
