Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical filling technology, and in particular to an automatic chemical filling line. Background Technology

[0002] The wafer etching and cleaning process requires the use of chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid. These chemicals are usually filled into 200-liter chemical containers, and after filling, they are labeled with categories / safety information. Currently, these are usually checked manually, which can easily lead to human error, resulting in missing or incorrect labels on the containers. This affects the subsequent users' judgment and use, and poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic chemical filling line that can assist in determining whether the label is completely affixed.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: an automatic chemical filling line, the innovation of which lies in: including A barcode scanning area is provided, which is set on a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is equipped with a chemical loading container; A sensor is installed in the scanning area to detect whether the chemical loading drum is in the scanning area; A rotating mechanism is provided within the scanning area for rotating the chemical loading drum 360°. A vision camera is positioned near the scanning area to capture and identify labels on chemical loading drums.

[0005] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a first conveyor line and a second conveyor line arranged adjacent to each other and laterally, and the distance between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line is less than the diameter of the chemical loading barrel, thus forming the scanning area between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line.

[0006] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism also includes two third conveyor lines, which are both arranged laterally between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line, and are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating mechanism. The chemical loading barrels can be driven to move toward the second conveyor line by the assistance of the third conveyor lines.

[0007] Furthermore, a lifting mechanism is provided below the rotating mechanism to drive the rotating mechanism to rise or fall vertically. When the chemical loading barrel is in the barcode scanning area, the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism and the chemical loading barrel to rise together, so as to completely separate from the transmission structure and facilitate the subsequent 360° rotation of the chemical loading barrel.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating platform and a rotating motor. The rotating platform is horizontally arranged, and the output end of the rotating motor is connected to the rotating platform to drive the rotating platform to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting mechanism, which includes two limiting members. The two limiting members are symmetrically arranged outside the scanning area and on both sides of the width of the transmission mechanism. The limiting mechanism can limit the chemical loading barrel during the rotation process to avoid the risk of tipping or collapsing during the rotation. The limiting component includes a fixed column, a telescopic motor, and a limiting clamp. The fixed column is vertically arranged, the limiting clamp is arranged between the rotating mechanism and the fixed column, the telescopic motor is mounted on the fixed column, and the output end of the telescopic motor is horizontally arranged and connected to the limiting clamp.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting clamp includes a body, which is formed by cutting off an isosceles trapezoidal block from a rectangular block on the side near the rotating mechanism. Thus, an isosceles trapezoidal groove is formed on the side of the body near the rotating mechanism, and the length of the groove opening is greater than the length of the groove bottom.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. In this patent, the chemical loading barrel is conveyed to the scanning area by the transmission mechanism, and then the chemical loading barrel is driven to rotate 360° by the rotation mechanism. At the same time, the vision camera is activated to take pictures of the barrel body, thereby forming an image. This image can detect whether there are incorrect or missing labels. It can assist manual identification of whether there are incorrect or missing labels on the barrel body, reduce errors, and improve the accuracy of judgment.

[0012] 2. In this patent, the chemical loading drum is first detected by a sensor to see if it is in the barcode scanning area, and then the chemical loading drum is driven to rotate 360°, which can improve the accuracy of this filling line.

[0013] 3. The transmission mechanism also includes two third conveyor lines, which can assist in driving the chemical loading barrels toward the second conveyor line.

[0014] 4. A lifting mechanism is also provided below the rotating mechanism to drive the rotating mechanism to rise or fall vertically. When the chemical loading container is in the barcode scanning area, the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism and the chemical loading container to rise together to completely separate from the transmission structure, which facilitates the subsequent 360° rotation of the chemical loading container.

[0015] 5. This limiting mechanism can limit the chemical loading drum during rotation, avoiding the risk of tipping or collapsing. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 The chemical automatic filling line shown includes a barcode scanning area 3, a sensor 7, a transmission mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 2, and a vision camera.

[0023] The scanning area 3 is set on a transmission mechanism 1, and the transmission mechanism 1 is equipped with a vertical chemical loading tank 4. In this embodiment, the chemical loading tank 4 is a 200L canister 4.

[0024] The transmission mechanism 1 includes a first conveyor line 11 and a second conveyor line 12 that are adjacent and arranged laterally. The distance between the first conveyor line 11 and the second conveyor line 12 is less than the diameter of the chemical loading barrel 4, thus forming a barcode scanning area 3 between the first conveyor line 11 and the second conveyor line 12.

[0025] The transmission mechanism 1 also includes two third conveyor lines 13, which are arranged laterally between the first conveyor line 11 and the second conveyor line 12. The two third conveyor lines 13 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating mechanism 2, and can assist in driving the chemical loading barrel 4 to be conveyed toward the second conveyor line 12.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 11, the second conveyor line 12, and the third conveyor line 13 are all roller conveyor lines.

[0027] Sensor 7 is horizontally positioned outside the barcode scanning area 3 and above the limiting mechanism to detect whether the chemical loading container 4 is within the barcode scanning area 3. In this embodiment, sensor 7 is a laser sensor.

[0028] In this patent, the chemical loading barrel 4 is first detected by sensor 7 to see if it is in the barcode scanning area 3, and then the chemical loading barrel 4 is driven to rotate 360°, which can improve the accuracy of this filling line.

[0029] The rotating mechanism 2 is located in the barcode scanning area 3 and is used to rotate the chemical loading container 4 360°.

[0030] The rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating platform 21 and a rotating motor 22. The rotating platform 21 is horizontally positioned above the rotating motor 22. The output end of the rotating motor 22 is connected to the rotating platform 21, driving the rotating platform 21 to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0031] Below the rotating mechanism 2, there is also a lifting mechanism, which is used to drive the rotating mechanism 2 to rise or fall in the vertical direction. When the chemical loading barrel 4 is in the barcode scanning area 3, the lifting mechanism is used to drive the rotating mechanism 2 and the chemical loading barrel 4 to rise together, so as to completely separate from the transmission structure and facilitate the subsequent 360° rotation of the chemical loading barrel 4.

[0032] The lifting mechanism includes a base, which is set in the scanning area 3. A lifting motor is installed on the base, the output end of the lifting motor is set vertically upward, and a horizontal fixing block 6 is installed thereon. The rotary motor 22 is installed on the top of the horizontal fixing block 6.

[0033] It also includes a limiting mechanism 5, which is located in the middle of the chemical loading barrel 4. It includes two limiting components, which are symmetrically arranged outside the scanning area 3 and on both sides of the width of the transmission mechanism 1. The limiting mechanism 5 can limit the chemical loading barrel 4 during the rotation process to avoid the risk of tipping or collapsing during the rotation.

[0034] The limiting component includes a fixed post 51, a telescopic motor 52, and a limiting clamp 53. The fixed post 51 is vertically arranged on the outside of the transmission mechanism 1. The limiting clamp 53 is arranged between the rotating mechanism 2 and the fixed post 51. The telescopic motor 52 is mounted on the fixed post 51 and is located on the side away from the limiting clamp 53. The output end of the telescopic motor 52 passes horizontally through the fixed post 51 and is connected to the limiting clamp 53.

[0035] The limiting clamp 53 includes a body, which is formed by cutting off an isosceles trapezoidal block from a rectangular block on the side near the rotating mechanism 2. An isosceles trapezoidal groove is formed on the side of the body near the rotating mechanism 2, and the length of the groove opening is greater than the length of the groove bottom.

[0036] Multiple universal ball bearings are also installed on the inclined groove wall of the limiting clamp 53, so that the chemical loading barrel 4 inside the limiting clamp 53 can rotate smoothly.

[0037] A vision camera is positioned near the barcode scanning area 3 to capture and identify the labels on the chemical loading drums 4. In this embodiment, the vision camera model is MV-CL024-91GM. Furthermore, this camera can transmit and display images via a connection to an industrial display.

[0038] The working principle of this patent: After filling is completed and the labels are affixed by the staff, the chemical loading drum 4 is transported using the conveyor mechanism 1. Sensor 7 detects whether the 200L drum 4 has entered the barcode scanning area 3. Once the 200L drum 4 enters the barcode scanning area 3, the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism 2 to rise, causing the 200L drum 4 to completely detach from the conveyor mechanism 1 and then stop. Figure 5 As shown, the two limiting clamps 53 are driven to move synchronously toward the 200L can 4 to achieve vertical limiting of the 200L can 4. Then, the rotary motor 22 is started to drive the 200L can 4 to rotate 360°. At the same time, the vision camera is started to capture the can body, thus forming an image. This image can then detect whether there are any mislabeled or missing labels. When there are no mislabeled or missing labels on the can body, the two limiting clamps 53 are driven to move synchronously away from the 200L can 4, and the lifting mechanism drives the rotating mechanism 2 to descend, so that the 200L can 4 is completely placed on the transmission mechanism 1 and then stops. Figure 4 As shown, the 200L can 4 is then transferred to the next process using the transfer mechanism 1.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
