Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated feeding technology, and specifically relates to an intelligent adjustable automatic feeding device for cosmetic bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In modern cosmetics production, the loading process of cosmetic bottles is one of the key links to ensure the smooth operation of the production line. Traditionally, cosmetic bottles are usually placed in multiple neat rows on a conveyor belt for transport. However, with increasingly stringent requirements for product hygiene standards and processing precision, cosmetic bottles must undergo multiple stages of processing, including sterilization, cleaning, and drying, before entering final packaging. This traditional continuous conveying method has significant shortcomings: First, to meet the needs of each process, a very long continuous conveyor belt is often needed to connect the various processing units, which not only occupies a lot of space but also increases equipment costs and maintenance difficulties. Second, during long-distance continuous transport, cosmetic bottles are prone to scattering or misalignment, affecting the normal operation of subsequent processes and leading to a decline in product quality. Furthermore, due to the significant differences in the operating rhythms between different processes, it is difficult to achieve efficient synchronous control of the continuous conveyor belt, thus reducing overall production efficiency.

[0003] Of particular note is that when transferring cosmetic bottles, which have undergone multiple stages of processing, from an ultra-long continuous conveyor belt to a single-line conveyor line, it is usually necessary to manually pick them up one by one and rearrange them. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors, severely hindering the improvement of automation levels. For cosmetic bottles arranged in multiple rows, how to achieve efficient conversion from a continuous conveyor belt to a single-line conveyor line has become an urgent technical challenge. Existing solutions either rely on complex and expensive specialized equipment or still require a large amount of manual intervention, neither of which fundamentally solves the problem. Therefore, this is precisely the core problem that this application aims to address. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent adjustable automatic cosmetic bottle feeding system. By flexibly adjusting the number of changing fixtures and modules, adopting suction cup gripping technology, designing an inclined feeding device, and realizing convenient disassembly and replacement of changing fixtures, it can not only ensure the stability and consistency of cosmetic bottles during the transmission process, but also realize the efficient automatic conversion from multiple rows to a single line.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an intelligent adjustable automatic cosmetic bottle feeding device, comprising: a multi-stage plate chain line, a rotary feeding mechanism, a multi-stage positioning mechanism, a transfer module, and a variable distance mechanism. The multi-stage plate chain line includes a first plate chain line and a second plate chain line; the rotary feeding mechanism is equipped with a suction cup; the multi-stage positioning mechanism includes a first positioning mechanism and a second positioning mechanism; the variable distance mechanism includes a first variable distance mechanism and a second variable distance mechanism; the first positioning mechanism is located on one side of the flipping mechanism, the variable distance mechanism is located on one side of the second positioning mechanism, and the second variable distance mechanism is located between the second positioning mechanism and the first variable distance mechanism.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By combining a multi-stage plate chain and a variable pitch mechanism, materials can be stably transported from one position to another. At the same time, the variable pitch mechanism can position the product at a specific distance as needed, facilitating subsequent automated processing. Moreover, the combination of the rotary feeding mechanism and the multi-stage positioning mechanism enables the precise picking up of the entire row of materials and their placement on the positioning mechanism, achieving initial and secondary positioning of the product and providing accurate positional information for subsequent material processing. The integration of the transfer module and the multi-stage plate chain enables the precise picking up of materials from the positioning mechanism and their placement on the conveyor line, realizing a fully automated production process from initial processing to the final product. Meanwhile, by designing multi-level positioning and protection measures, damage to cosmetic bottles caused by collisions or tipping during the loading process is effectively avoided, ensuring the integrity and quality of the product. Furthermore, a variable-gap module is used to adjust the spacing between cosmetic bottles, so that the suction cup gripping mechanism can accurately grasp each bottle and place it in the correct unloading position, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the entire loading process. The suction cup gripping of two bottles can also reduce the risk of damage to delicate and fragile cosmetic bottles, protecting the integrity and quality of the product.

[0007] The aforementioned automatic feeding device includes a transplanting X-axis module, a transplanting Y-axis module, and a transplanting Z-axis module. The transplanting X-axis module is fixed above the second section of the plate chain, the transplanting Y-axis module is fixed to one side of the variable pitch mechanism, and the transplanting Z-axis module is fixed to one side of the transplanting X-axis module.

[0008] In the aforementioned automatic feeding device, the first positioning mechanism is a positioning cylinder, which is parallel to the transfer X-axis module and located on both sides of the second section of the plate chain.

[0009] In the aforementioned automatic feeding device, the second positioning mechanism is a shape-changing fixture, which includes a first shape-changing fixture and a second shape-changing fixture, both of which are provided with multiple positioning slots.

[0010] The aforementioned automatic feeding device has a suction cup on the transfer Z-axis module, and the length of the suction cup is less than or equal to the length of the second changing fixture.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an intelligent adjustable automatic cosmetic feeding device, comprising: a multi-stage plate chain 100, a rotary feeding mechanism 200, a multi-stage positioning mechanism 300, a transfer module 400, and a pitch-changing mechanism 500. The multi-stage plate chain 100 includes a first plate chain 110 and a second plate chain 120. The rotary feeding mechanism 200 is provided with a suction cup 210. The multi-stage positioning mechanism 300 includes a first positioning mechanism 310 and a second positioning mechanism 320. The pitch-changing mechanism 500 includes a first pitch-changing mechanism 501 and a second pitch-changing mechanism 502. The first positioning mechanism 310 is located on one side of the flipping mechanism, the pitch-changing mechanism 500 is located on one side of the second positioning mechanism 320, and the second pitch-changing mechanism 502 is located between the second positioning mechanism 320 and the first pitch-changing mechanism 501. The integration of the multi-stage plate chain 100 and the pitch-changing mechanism 500 enables materials to be stably transported from one position to another. Simultaneously, the pitch-changing mechanism 500 can position products at specific intervals as needed, facilitating subsequent automated processing. Furthermore, the combination of the rotary feeding mechanism 200 and the multi-stage positioning mechanism 300 allows for the precise picking up of the entire row of materials and their placement on the positioning mechanism, achieving initial and secondary positioning of the products and providing accurate positional information for subsequent material processing. The integration of the transfer module 400 and the multi-stage plate chain 100 enables the precise picking up of materials from the positioning mechanism and their placement on the conveyor line, realizing a fully automated production process from initial processing to the final product. Meanwhile, by designing multi-level positioning and protection measures, damage to cosmetic bottles caused by collisions or tipping during the loading process is effectively avoided, ensuring the integrity and quality of the product. Furthermore, a variable-gap module is used to adjust the spacing between cosmetic bottles, so that the suction cup gripping mechanism can accurately grasp each bottle and place it in the correct unloading position, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the entire loading process. The suction cup gripping of two bottles can also reduce the risk of damage to delicate and fragile cosmetic bottles, protecting the integrity and quality of the product.

[0023] Furthermore, the transfer module 400 includes a transfer X-axis module 410, a transfer Y-axis module 420, and a transfer Z-axis module 430. The transfer X-axis module 410 is fixed above the second section of the plate chain 120, the transfer Y-axis module 420 is fixed to one side of the pitch-changing mechanism 500, and the transfer Z-axis module 430 is fixed to one side of the transfer X-axis module 410. The transfer X-axis module 410, fixed above the second section of the plate chain 120, is responsible for horizontal movement, ensuring that materials can be smoothly transferred between different positions on the production line. The transfer Y-axis module 420, fixed to one side of the pitch-changing mechanism 500, is mainly used to adjust the relative position between the suction cup 210 and the material, ensuring the accuracy of the gripping action. The transfer Z-axis module 430 is responsible for vertical movement, ensuring that the suction cup 210 can accurately grip or place cosmetic bottles from a specified height. Through precise control across these three dimensions, the transplant module 400 achieves efficient and flexible operation, adapting to cosmetic bottles of different sizes and shapes. Furthermore, this design significantly improves the repeatability and consistency of operation, reducing errors and uncertainties caused by manual operation, thereby significantly improving production quality and efficiency. Of course, this application is not limited to the specific structure and connection method of the transplant module 400.

[0024] Furthermore, the first positioning mechanism 310 is a positioning cylinder, which is parallel to the transfer X-axis module 410 and located on both sides of the second section of the plate chain 120. This structural design can quickly and accurately position the cosmetic bottle in a predetermined position. The working principle of the positioning cylinder is to use compressed air to drive the piston rod to extend and retract, thereby pushing or pulling the cosmetic bottle into the correct position. Compared with traditional mechanical clamps, the positioning cylinder has a higher response speed, a lower wear rate, and a longer service life. At the same time, since the positioning cylinder can be installed in parallel on both sides of the second section of the plate chain 120, this not only increases the number of positioning points but also improves the stability and reliability of positioning. More importantly, the design of the positioning cylinder makes the entire system more modular, facilitating maintenance and replacement and reducing equipment downtime. Therefore, this design not only improves the automation level of the production line but also significantly enhances the overall performance of the system. Of course, this application does not limit the specific structure of the positioning cylinder.

[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The second positioning mechanism 320 is a changing fixture, which includes a first changing fixture 321 and a second changing fixture 322. Both the first changing fixture 321 and the second changing fixture 322 are provided with multiple positioning slots. The multi-stage changing fixture structure improves the positioning accuracy and flexibility of the entire second positioning mechanism 320. The first changing fixture 321 and the second changing fixture 322 alternately rise and fall to place the material 600 transported from the second section of the conveyor belt 120. Of course, this application does not limit the relative positions of the first changing fixture 321 and the second changing fixture 322. Preferably, referring to… Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first changing fixture 321 is located above the second changing fixture 322. The transfer Z-axis module 430 can drive the suction cup 210 to pick up the material on the second section of the plate chain 120 and place it on the second positioning mechanism 320 for repositioning. Of course, this application does not limit the specific structure of the suction cup 210. Preferably, refer to Figure 4The suction cup 210 proposed in this application is equipped with multiple vacuum ports. These ports are connected to a central vacuum system via air tubes. The vacuum ports are responsible for generating the necessary negative pressure during the suction process, enabling the suction cup 210 to firmly adhere to the cosmetic bottle. This application does not limit the specific structure of the vacuum ports. Preferably, the vacuum ports adopt a circular design, which provides a larger contact area and enhances the suction effect. Furthermore, this application does not limit the specific arrangement of the vacuum ports. Preferably, multiple vacuum ports are arranged in a row side-by-side, maintaining a certain distance between each vacuum port. This arrangement ensures that the suction cup 210 can evenly distribute suction force when suctioning the cosmetic bottle, avoiding excessive load on any single vacuum port, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the suction. This application does not limit the specific connection method between the suction cup 210 and the transfer Z-axis module 430. Preferably, the suction cup 210 is fixed to the rotary loading mechanism 200 via a bracket structure. Of course, this application does not limit the specific size of the suction cup 210. Preferably, the suction cup 210 is provided on the transfer Z-axis module 430, and the length of the suction cup 210 is less than or equal to the length of the second changing fixture 322. This structural design ensures that the suction cup 210 can accurately grasp the cosmetic bottle, avoiding grasping failure or damage caused by the suction cup 210 being too long or too short. The design of the length of the suction cup 210 fully considers various possibilities in actual operation, ensuring both the stability of the grasp and the safety of the operation. Especially when handling delicate and fragile cosmetic bottles, the appropriate length of the suction cup 210 is crucial, as it can effectively reduce the risk of damage to the product surface. In addition, the length limitation of the suction cup 210 also helps to improve the system's response speed and positioning accuracy, because a shorter suction cup 210 means less motion inertia, thereby enabling faster and more accurate grasping and releasing actions. Of course, this application does not limit the specific material of the suction cup 210. Preferably, a sponge is provided between the clamping plate and the vacuum interface of the suction cup 210. Sponges have good flexibility and cushioning properties, which can evenly distribute pressure during the grasping process and avoid scratches or other forms of damage to the surface of cosmetic bottles.

[0026] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3Below the first section of the conveyor belt 110 is a conveyor belt frame 111, below the second section of the conveyor belt 120 is an electrical box 121, and below the pitch-changing mechanism 500 is a conveyor device 510. This layout design not only optimizes space utilization but also improves the overall stability and safety of the equipment. The conveyor belt frame 111 provides robust support for the first section of the conveyor belt 110, ensuring the stability and safety of materials during transmission. The electrical wires are arranged below the second section of the conveyor belt 120, which is not only aesthetically pleasing and neat but also effectively avoids safety hazards caused by exposed wiring. The conveyor device 510 below the pitch-changing mechanism 500 is responsible for orderly conveying the cosmetic bottles after pitch change to the next process, improving the coordination and continuity of the entire system. Furthermore, an electrical protective cover 520 is provided above the pitch-changing mechanism 500. The electrical protective cover 520 is mainly to protect the electrical components inside the pitch-changing mechanism 500 from the influence of the external environment. The 520 electrical protection cover is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, which can effectively resist the intrusion of dust, moisture and other contaminants, ensuring the long-term stable operation of electrical components.

[0027] Furthermore, a rotating platform can be installed on the transfer Z-axis module 430, which can be connected to the suction cup 210. This structural design expands the operational flexibility of the entire feeding device, allowing the suction cup 210 to move not only vertically but also rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally. The application of the rotating platform enables the suction cup 210 to grip and place cosmetic bottles from multiple angles. Even further, flipping mechanisms are provided on both sides of the second section of the conveyor belt 120. The purpose of this structure is primarily to achieve efficient material transfer and repositioning. The flipping mechanisms can quickly and accurately transfer cosmetic bottles from one position to another without affecting the continuity of the production line, ensuring smooth material rotation throughout the entire production line.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding process of the intelligent adjustable automatic cosmetic bottle feeding process provided in this application is as follows: Preliminary transfer and positioning: The incoming cosmetic bottles are placed in a multi-row structure on the first section of the plate chain 110, and the cosmetic bottles are transferred to the second section of the plate chain 120 through the first section of the plate chain 110. A first positioning mechanism 310 (i.e., positioning cylinder) is provided above the second section of the plate chain 120 to perform preliminary clamping and positioning of the arriving cosmetic bottles, ensuring that the cosmetic bottles are arranged neatly and orderly; Rotary feeding: Subsequently, the rotary feeding mechanism 200 located above the second section of the plate chain 120 is activated. This mechanism includes a hollow rotating platform and a suction cup 210, wherein the suction cup 210 is responsible for gripping the cosmetic bottles. The rotary feeding mechanism 200 adjusts the angle according to the preset program to accurately place the cosmetic bottles from the second section of the plate chain 120 into the second positioning mechanism 320 (i.e., changing fixture); Variable distance adjustment and material transfer: After the preliminary positioning is completed, the variable distance mechanism 500 intervenes. The variable-pitch mechanism 500 is equipped with multiple independently adjustable grippers arranged in a row, capable of operating individually to accommodate cosmetic bottles in different positions. The grippers pick up cosmetic bottles one by one from the changing fixture and place them at predetermined intervals on the on-site conveyor line, achieving efficient conversion from multiple rows to a single row. Furthermore, the second changing fixture 322, with the assistance of the transfer Z-axis module 430, has a lifting function to facilitate precise material handling. Once the material on the second section of the conveyor belt 120 has been completely removed, the flipping mechanism activates, flipping the pallet to clear the processed material and prepare for the next pallet. Then, the lifting device lifts the new material pallet to the appropriate position, continuing the process and forming a continuous, efficient, automated cycle.
