[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a conveying device 100, which is mainly used on assembly equipment. The conveying device 100 has a first direction X and a second direction Y that are perpendicular to each other, and the conveying device 100 includes a feeding mechanism 110, a conveying mechanism 120 and a transfer mechanism 130.

[0024] The feeding mechanism 110 includes a first frame 111, a first bottle body conveying assembly 112 and a first bottle cap conveying assembly 113. The first bottle body conveying assembly 112 and the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 are rotatably mounted on the first frame 111 and are used to convey the bottle body and the bottle cap along the first direction X, respectively.

[0025] The conveying mechanism 120 includes a second frame 121, a second bottle conveying assembly 122, and a second bottle cap conveying assembly 123. Both the second bottle conveying assembly 122 and the second bottle cap conveying assembly 123 are rotatably mounted on the second frame 121 and are used to convey bottles and bottle caps along the second direction Y, respectively. The second bottle conveying assembly 122 includes a bottle driving unit and a bottle transmission unit, and the bottle driving unit is drivenly connected to the bottle transmission unit. The second bottle cap conveying assembly 123 includes a bottle cap driving unit and a bottle cap transmission unit, and the bottle cap driving unit is drivenly connected to the bottle cap transmission unit.

[0026] The transfer mechanism 130 includes a third frame 131, a bottle transfer assembly 132, and a bottle cap transfer assembly 133. Both the bottle transfer assembly 132 and the bottle cap transfer assembly 133 are movably mounted on the third frame 131. The bottle transfer assembly 132 is used to transfer the bottle on the first bottle conveying assembly 112 to the second bottle conveying assembly 122, and the bottle cap transfer assembly 133 is used to transfer the bottle cap on the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 to the second bottle cap conveying assembly 123.

[0027] The conveying device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application rotatably mounts both the first bottle body conveying assembly 112 and the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 on the first frame 111, so that the first bottle body conveying assembly 112 and the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 automatically convey the bottle body and the bottle cap along the first direction X, respectively, thereby achieving automatic feeding of the bottle body and the bottle cap. By movably mounting both the bottle body transfer assembly 132 and the bottle cap transfer assembly 133 on the third frame 131, the bottle body transfer assembly 132 automatically transfers the bottle body from the first bottle body conveying assembly 112 to the second bottle body conveying assembly 122, and the bottle cap transfer assembly 133 automatically transfers the bottle cap from the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 to the second bottle cap conveying assembly 123, thereby achieving automatic transfer of the bottle body and bottle cap from the feeding mechanism 110 to the conveying mechanism 120. Meanwhile, by rotatably mounting the second bottle body conveying assembly 122 and the second bottle cap conveying assembly 123 on the second frame 121, the bottle body and bottle cap are automatically conveyed along the second direction Y by the second bottle body conveying assembly 122 and the second bottle cap conveying assembly 123, respectively. This achieves automatic conveying of the bottle body and bottle cap to the assembly device for assembly to form a bottle cap assembly. The conveying device 100 provided in this application can automatically feed and transfer the bottle body and bottle cap, and automatically convey them to the assembly device so that the assembly device can automatically assemble the bottle body and bottle cap, effectively improving production efficiency, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and is suitable for large-scale assembly needs.

[0028] Understandably, the bottle body driving unit and the bottle cap driving unit independently drive the bottle body transmission unit and the bottle cap transmission unit to rotate on the second frame 121. Thus, when the conveying mechanism 120 approaches the detection position of the assembly device and detects that the bottle in the previous set of bottles and caps is defective, the bottle body driving unit can independently drive the bottle body transmission unit to travel one unit distance, aligning the next bottle with the previous bottle cap. This allows the assembly device to assemble the aligned good bottles and caps into a bottle cap assembly. Similarly, when the conveying mechanism 120 approaches the detection position of the assembly device and detects that the bottle cap in the previous set of bottles and caps is defective, the bottle cap driving unit can independently drive the bottle cap transmission unit to travel one unit distance, aligning the next bottle cap with the previous bottle. This allows the assembly device to assemble the aligned good bottle caps and bottles into a bottle cap assembly. This effectively improves the yield rate of bottle cap assemblies.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first bottle conveying assembly 112 includes a first rotary drive 1121, a first drive wheel 1122, and a first conveyor belt 1123. The first drive wheel 1122 is connected to the rotating end of the first rotary drive 1121 and the first conveyor belt 1123 respectively. The first frame 111 and the first conveyor belt 1123 form a receiving groove. The first conveyor belt 1123 is provided with a flexible isolation part 11231. The flexible isolation part 11231 divides the receiving groove to form a first guide placement groove 11232 and a second guide placement groove 11233. Both the first guide placement groove 11232 and the second guide placement groove 11233 are used to place bottles.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first drive wheel 1122 is connected to the rotating end of the first rotary drive member 1121 and the first conveyor belt 1123 respectively, so as to drive the first drive wheel 1122 to rotate through the rotating end of the first rotary drive member 1121, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 1123 to automatically transport the bottle along the first direction X, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the bottle.

[0031] The first frame 111 and the first conveyor belt 1123 form a receiving groove. By providing a flexible isolation part 11231 on the first conveyor belt 1123, the receiving groove is divided into a first guide placement groove 11232 and a second guide placement groove 11233. This facilitates the placement of two rows of bottles at intervals along the second direction Y on the first conveyor belt 1123, effectively improving the bottle feeding efficiency. The flexible isolation part 11231 also serves to separate the two rows of bottles, preventing contact between the two rows of bottles during the conveying process of the first conveyor belt 1123, which would affect the stability of bottle feeding.

[0032] Meanwhile, the sidewall of the guide placement groove can also guide the bottle, so that the bottle on the first conveyor belt 1123 is always transported along the first direction X.

[0033] For example, the first rotary drive 1121 can be a rotary motor, and the flexible isolation part 11231 and the first conveyor belt 1123 can be integrally formed.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the first frame 111 is provided with a first guide member 1111 and a second guide member 1112. The first guide member 1111 is located on the side of the first guide placement groove 11232 away from the second guide placement groove 11233, and the second guide member 1112 is located on the side of the second guide placement groove 11233 away from the first guide placement groove 11232.

[0035] In this embodiment, by providing a first guide member 1111 on the side of the first guide placement groove 11232 away from the second guide placement groove 11233, the first guide member 1111 further restricts the offset of the bottle body on the first guide placement groove 11232 along the second direction Y, thereby further improving the stability of the bottle body conveyed along the first direction X on the first guide placement groove 11232. Simultaneously, by providing a second guide member 1112 on the side of the second guide placement groove 11233 away from the first guide placement groove 11232, the second guide member 1112 further restricts the offset of the bottle body on the second guide placement groove 11233 along the second direction Y, thereby further improving the stability of the bottle body conveyed along the first direction X on the second guide placement groove 11233.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 includes a second rotary drive 1131, a second drive wheel 1132, and a second conveyor belt 1133. The second drive wheel 1132 is connected to the rotating end of the second rotary drive 1131 and the second conveyor belt 1133, respectively. The first frame 111 and the second conveyor belt 1133 form a third guide placement groove 11331 for placing bottle caps.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second drive wheel 1132 is connected to the rotating end of the second rotary drive member 1131 and the second conveyor belt 1133 respectively, so as to drive the second drive wheel 1132 to rotate through the rotating end of the second rotary drive member 1131, thereby driving the second conveyor belt 1133 to automatically transport bottle caps along the first direction X, so as to realize the automatic feeding of bottle caps.

[0038] The second frame 121 and the second conveyor belt 1133 form a third guide placement groove 11331, which guides the bottle caps through the side wall of the third guide placement groove 11331, so that the bottle caps on the second conveyor belt 1133 are always conveyed along the first direction X.

[0039] For example, the second rotary drive 1131 can be a rotary motor.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in any of the above embodiments of this application, the bottle driving unit includes a third rotary driving member 1221, and the bottle transmission unit includes a third driving wheel 1222 and a third conveyor belt 1223. The third driving wheel 1222 is connected to the rotating end of the third rotary driving member 1221 and the third conveyor belt 1223 respectively. The third conveyor belt 1223 is provided with a plurality of bottle carriers 12231 for placing bottles. The plurality of bottle carriers 12231 are evenly spaced along the second direction Y.

[0041] In this embodiment, the third drive wheel 1222 is connected to the rotating end of the third rotary drive member 1221 and the third conveyor belt 1223, respectively, so that the rotating end of the third rotary drive member 1221 drives the third drive wheel 1222 to rotate, thereby driving the third conveyor belt 1223 to rotate on the second frame 121. At the same time, by setting multiple bottle carriers 12231 evenly spaced along the second direction Y on the third conveyor belt 1223, they rotate synchronously with the third conveyor belt 1223, thereby automatically conveying bottles to the assembly device at equal intervals along the second direction Y.

[0042] For example, the third rotary drive 1221 can be a rotary motor, and the bottle carrier 12231 has a placement slot that matches the shape of the bottle. The bottle carrier 12231 can be fixed to the third conveyor belt 1223 by screws.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the bottle cap driving unit includes a fourth rotary driving member 1231, and the bottle cap transmission unit includes a fourth driving wheel 1232 and a fourth conveyor belt 1233. The fourth driving wheel 1232 is connected to the rotating end of the fourth rotary driving member 1231 and the fourth conveyor belt 1233 respectively. The fourth conveyor belt 1233 is provided with a plurality of bottle cap carriers 12331 for placing bottle caps. The plurality of bottle cap carriers 12331 are evenly spaced along the second direction Y. The distance between two adjacent bottle body carriers 12231 is equal to the distance between two adjacent bottle cap carriers 12331. The bottle body carriers 12231 and the bottle cap carriers 12331 are aligned along the first direction X.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fourth drive wheel 1232 is connected to the rotating end of the fourth rotary drive member 1231 and the fourth conveyor belt 1233, respectively, so that the fourth drive wheel 1232 is driven to rotate through the rotating end of the fourth rotary drive member 1231, thereby driving the fourth conveyor belt 1233 to rotate on the second frame 121. By setting multiple bottle cap carriers 12331 evenly spaced along the second direction Y on the fourth conveyor belt 1233, they rotate synchronously with the fourth conveyor belt 1233, thereby automatically conveying bottle caps to the assembly device at equal intervals along the second direction Y.

[0045] Meanwhile, by setting the spacing between two adjacent bottle carriers 12231 to be equal to the spacing between two adjacent cap carriers 12331, and setting the bottle carriers 12231 and cap carriers 12331 to be aligned along the first direction X, the bottles and caps are conveyed to the assembly device at equal intervals along the second direction Y while aligned along the first direction X, thereby facilitating the assembly device to assemble the bottles and caps aligned along the first direction X into a cap assembly.

[0046] For example, the fourth rotary drive 1231 can be a rotary motor, and the bottle cap carrier 12331 has a placement groove that matches the shape of the bottle cap. The bottle cap carrier 12331 can be fixed to the fourth conveyor belt 1233 by screws.

[0047] Understandably, the third rotary drive 1221 and the fourth rotary drive 1231 independently drive the third conveyor belt 1223 and the fourth conveyor belt 1233 to rotate on the second frame 121. In this way, when the conveying mechanism 120 detects that the bottle aligned along the first direction X is defective near the detection position of the assembly device, the third rotary drive 1221 can drive the third conveyor belt 1223 to convey a preset distance along the second direction Y, so that the bottle on the next bottle carrier 12231 is aligned with the bottle cap on the previous bottle cap carrier 12331 along the first direction X, so that the assembly device can assemble the good bottle and good bottle cap aligned along the first direction X to form a bottle cap assembly. When the conveying mechanism 120 detects a defective bottle cap aligned along the first direction X at the detection position of the assembly device, it can drive the fourth conveyor belt 1233 along the second direction Y a preset distance via the fourth rotary drive 1231. This aligns the bottle cap on the next bottle cap carrier 12331 with the bottle body on the previous bottle body carrier 12231 along the first direction X, allowing the assembly device to assemble the good bottle bodies and good bottle caps aligned along the first direction X into a bottle cap assembly. This effectively improves the yield rate of the bottle cap assembly.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in any of the above embodiments of this application, the bottle transfer assembly 132 includes a first linear drive 1321, a fifth rotary drive 1322, and a clamping drive 1323. The first linear drive 1321 is used to drive the fifth rotary drive 1322 to reciprocate linearly along the first direction X. The fifth rotary drive 1322 is used to drive the clamping drive 1323 to rotate about a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The clamping drive 1323 is used to clamp or release the bottle.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first linear drive 1321 drives the fifth rotary drive 1322 to reciprocate linearly along the first direction X. The fifth rotary drive 1322 drives the clamping drive 1323 to rotate around a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, thus realizing the functions of the clamping drive 1323 reciprocating linearly along the first direction X and rotating around a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The clamping drive 1323 reciprocates linearly along the first direction X to clamp the bottle on the first bottle conveying assembly 112 and transfer it above the second bottle conveying assembly 122. The clamping drive 1323 rotates around a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y by a preset angle to drive the bottle to rotate synchronously by a preset angle. After the bottle rotates by the preset angle, the clamping drive 1323 releases the bottle so that the bottle is placed on the second bottle conveying assembly 122. After the bottle rotates by the preset angle, the length direction of the bottle changes from being consistent with the first direction X to being consistent with the second direction Y, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the second bottle conveying assembly 122 conveying the bottle along the second direction Y.

[0050] For example, the first linear drive 1321 can be a lead screw guide module, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, the fifth rotary drive 1322 can be a rotary motor or a rotary cylinder, and the clamping drive 1323 can be a gripper cylinder.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the bottle transfer assembly 132 includes a second linear drive 1324, a first linear drive 1321 for driving the second linear drive 1324 to reciprocate linearly along a first direction X, and the second linear drive 1324 for driving the fifth rotary drive 1322 to reciprocate linearly along a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0052] In this embodiment, by setting a second linear drive 1324 between the first linear drive 1321 and the fifth rotary drive 1322, the fifth rotary drive 1322 is made to reciprocate linearly in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby driving the clamping drive 1323 to reciprocate linearly in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. This facilitates the clamping drive 1323 to clamp and remove the bottle from the first bottle conveying assembly 112, and makes it easier to loosen the bottle and place it onto the second bottle conveying assembly 122 after transfer.

[0053] For example, the second linear drive 1324 can be a lead screw guide module, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in any of the above embodiments of this application, the bottle cap transfer assembly 133 includes a third linear drive 1331, a fourth linear drive 1332, and a vacuum adsorption component 1333. The third linear drive 1331 is used to drive the fourth linear drive 1332 to reciprocate linearly along the first direction X. The fourth linear drive 1332 is used to drive the vacuum adsorption component 1333 to reciprocate linearly along a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The vacuum adsorption component 1333 is used to adsorb or release the bottle cap.

[0055] In this embodiment, the third linear drive member 1331 drives the fourth linear drive member 1332 to reciprocate linearly along the first direction X, and the fourth linear drive member 1332 drives the vacuum adsorption member 1333 to reciprocate linearly along a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby realizing the function of the vacuum adsorption member 1333 reciprocating linearly along the first direction X and reciprocating linearly along a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The vacuum adsorption member 1333 reciprocates linearly along the first direction X to adsorb the bottle caps on the first bottle cap conveying assembly 113 and transfer them above the second bottle cap conveying assembly 123.
