Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular relates to a material dispensing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The triple cup immunoassay kit has a special cover plate and an irregular product shape. Chinese patent application CN117067612A discloses a kit assembly production line and assembly method. In this method, the cover plate material is manually transported to the cover plate feeding hopper. The cover plates in the hopper are transported to the cover plate dispensing device for dispensing. A robotic arm grabs the cover plates and sends them to the cover plate positioning pin detection device for positioning pin quality inspection. Defective products are rejected by the first rejection device, and good products are pre-assembled by the cover plate pre-assembly device and the box body and then transported to the cover plate pressing unit for pressing. The existing technology does not disclose the specific structure of the cover plate material distribution device, and it is unclear how the cover plate material distribution is achieved. The material is conveyed by the vibrating cover plate of the material handling hopper. The feeding position is inaccurate and it is inconvenient to pick up the material. The cover plates are lined up closely together on the conveying channel from top to bottom. The edges of two adjacent cover plates are prone to overlap, which causes interference when the robot arm grabs the material and frequently causes the machine to stop and alarm. Secondly, a triple cup requires three cover plates, but due to space limitations, the vibrating hopper can usually only output a maximum of two rows of cover plates. If the cover plates of a triple cup are picked up in multiple times, the conveying efficiency will be too low. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a material distribution mechanism with accurate positioning and high conveying efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A material distribution mechanism includes a first conveying channel and a second conveying channel arranged in parallel. A pushing component is provided above the first and second conveying channels. The pushing component includes a first translation drive, which is connected to a first lifting drive and a second lifting drive. The first and second lifting drives are respectively connected to positioning components. The first and second conveying channels are respectively connected to a first positioning seat and a second positioning seat. The first positioning seat is disposed on the second translation drive, and the second translation drive has at least two first positioning seats. By pressing down the positioning cover plate with the pushing component and then pushing, accurate positioning is ensured. The mechanism can transport materials from the two conveying channels to at least three positioning seats, improving material distribution efficiency and meeting the assembly requirements of special triple-cup immunoassay kit packaging materials.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0007] The positioning component includes a groove that matches the flange of the cover plate. The positioning component has two grooves, which are used to position the flanges of different cover plates respectively. The two cover plates are pushed simultaneously by the pushing component to ensure accurate spacing between the front and rear cover plates and achieve precise positioning.

[0008] Material blocking components are provided between the first conveying channel and the first positioning seat, and between the second conveying channel and the second positioning seat, to prevent the material on the conveying channel from affecting the material on the positioning seat.

[0009] The material blocking assembly includes a third lifting drive component, which is connected to a baffle plate, and has a simple and compact structure.

[0010] It also includes a transfer component, which is used to pick up materials from the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat for transfer and assembly, so as to avoid damaging the materials.

[0011] A vision inspection component is provided on one side of the first and second positioning seats. The transfer component picks up the material on the first and second positioning seats and transfers it to the vision inspection component for vision inspection, thereby avoiding interference of the transfer component with the material inspection process and ensuring accurate inspection results.

[0012] The first and second conveying channels are connected to the material handling hopper, and the layout is reasonable and compact.

[0013] The first and second positioning seats are mounted on the bracket, which is also equipped with a bottle positioning component. The layout is reasonable and the structure is compact.

[0014] The visual inspection component is provided with a container conveying mechanism on one side. The container conveying mechanism is provided with a clamp for carrying the container flange and conveying the container. The bottle positioning component is used to clamp and position the container. The position of the visual inspection component is higher than that of the container conveying mechanism. The transfer component is used to assemble the visually inspected cover plate onto the container. The layout is reasonable and convenient for transfer.

[0015] Both the first and second positioning seats include mounting bases. Positioning blocks are provided on both sides of the mounting base. A sliding groove for guiding the cover plate is provided below each positioning block. The positioning blocks are rotatably connected to a pin, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting base. An elastic element abuts against the positioning block within the mounting base. The position of the elastic element abutting against the positioning block is below the pin. An adjusting nut is provided between the positioning block and the mounting base. A first guide slope is provided above the positioning block. The first guide slope is used to match the second guide slope on the transfer assembly during cover plate transfer, causing the positioning blocks on both sides of the mounting base to open, achieving precise positioning and facilitating material transfer.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 The material distribution mechanism shown includes a first conveying channel 1 and a second conveying channel 2 arranged in parallel. The first conveying channel 1 and the second conveying channel 2 are connected to a material handling hopper 18. A pushing component 3 is provided above the first conveying channel 1 and the second conveying channel 2. The pushing component 3 includes a first translation drive 4. The first translation drive 4 is connected to a first lifting drive 5 and a second lifting drive 6. The first lifting drive 5 and the second lifting drive 6 are respectively connected to a positioning component 7. The positioning component 7 includes a groove 8 that matches the flange of the cover plate. The first conveying channel 1 and the second conveying channel 2 are respectively connected to a first positioning seat 9 and a second positioning seat 10. The first positioning seat 9 is disposed on the second translation drive 11. The second translation drive 11 has at least two first positioning seats 9.

[0028] The material is the cover plate of a triple cup immunoassay kit. Each cover plate has three arc-shaped protrusions, which are used to match the bottle opening of the triple cup immunoassay kit to seal the bottle. The periphery of the three arc-shaped protrusions is a plate-shaped plane. If the cover plate is output to the positioning seat along the discharge channel of the feed hopper 18, the plate-shaped planes of the front and rear cover plates are easy to overlap or even if they do not overlap, the position of the arc-shaped protrusions of the cover plate is not accurate, which makes it difficult for the rear transfer component to transfer the cover plate. Therefore, the material is transported through the first conveying channel 1 and the second conveying channel 2 arranged horizontally. The upper pushing component 3 lowers the positioning cover plate by driving the positioning component 7 and then moves the cover plate horizontally. The distance the cover plate moves forward each time is pushed by the pushing component 3 to ensure that the distance is constant and that the cover plate enters the first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10 accurately.

[0029] The device is equipped with a first lifting drive 5 that lowers and positions the cover plate on the first conveying channel 1, and a second lifting drive 6 that lowers and positions the cover plate on the second conveying channel 2. During the first push of the cover plate, both the first lifting drive 5 and the second lifting drive 6 lower and position the cover plate and push it. Then, the second translation drive 11 translates the first positioning seat 9 so that the other positioning seat 9 without a cover plate aligns with the first conveying channel 1. During the second push of the cover plate, the first lifting drive 5 lowers and positions the cover plate, while the second lifting drive 6 remains in the raised position and does not contact the cover plate. Through two pushes, the cover plates on the two conveying channels are conveyed to the three positioning seats, improving the material distribution efficiency, meeting the assembly requirement of three cover plates for one box of the triple cup immunoassay kit, reducing the requirements for the number and size of the material handling hopper, meeting the spatial layout requirements, and resulting in a reasonable and compact layout.

[0030] The positioning component 7 has two grooves 8, which are used to position the flanges of different cover plates. The pushing component 3 pushes the two cover plates at the same time to ensure accurate spacing between the two cover plates and more precise positioning. When the pushing component 3 rises and disengages from the cover plate and performs positioning before the next push, since the position of the cover plate during the previous push is accurate, it is easy to accurately align the previous cover plate with another cover plate in this batch for pushing. During debugging, only the first adjustment is needed to achieve accuracy. Subsequently, the driving component only needs to execute a specific stroke to complete the precise positioning.

[0031] Material-blocking assemblies 13 are provided between the first conveying channel 1 and the first positioning seat 9, and between the second conveying channel 2 and the second positioning seat 10. Each material-blocking assembly 13 includes a third lifting drive component 14 connected to a baffle 15, and also includes a transfer assembly 16. The transfer assembly 16 is used to pick up materials from the first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10 for transfer and assembly. After the cover plate is pushed to the positioning seat, before being transferred by the transfer assembly 16, the baffle 15 rises to separate the positioning seat from the cover plate on the conveying channel, preventing overlap and interference. Material is transferred by suction to avoid damage to the cover plate.

[0032] A vision inspection component 17 is provided on one side of the first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10. The transfer component 16 picks up the material on the first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10 and transfers it to the vision inspection component 17 for vision inspection, which facilitates the inspection of the positioning pin under the cover plate. The transfer component 16 will not interfere with the vision inspection process.

[0033] The first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10 are mounted on the bracket 19, which is also equipped with a bottle positioning component 20. The bracket 19 supports multiple components, resulting in a compact structure.

[0034] A container conveying mechanism 21 is provided on one side of the vision inspection component 17. The container conveying mechanism 21 is provided with a clamp 22 for carrying the container flange and conveying the container. The bottle positioning component 20 is used to clamp and position the container. The positioning is accurate and avoids the clamp 22 from being damaged by pressure on the conveyor belt of the container conveying mechanism 21. The position of the vision inspection component 17 is higher than that of the container conveying mechanism 21. The transfer component 16 is used to assemble the cover plate after vision inspection onto the container.

[0035] The first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10 are provided with cover plate receiving grooves 12. Both the first positioning seat 9 and the second positioning seat 10 include a mounting seat 27. Positioning blocks 23 are provided on both sides of the mounting seat 27. A sliding groove for guiding the cover plate is provided below the positioning block 23. The positioning block 23 is rotatably connected to the pin 25. The pin 25 is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 27. An elastic element 25 is provided inside the mounting seat 27 to abut against the positioning block 23. The position of the elastic element 25 abutting against the positioning block 23 is located below the pin 25. The positioning block 23 and the mounting seat 27 are... The device is equipped with an adjusting nut 29 and a first guide slope 26 above the positioning block 23. The first guide slope 26 is used to match the second guide slope 30 on the transfer assembly 16 during the transfer of the cover plate, so that the positioning blocks 23 on both sides of the mounting base 27 can be opened. The cover plate is guided by the slide groove to achieve precise positioning. During the transfer, the positioning block 23 is opened to avoid interference, so that the material can be picked up from above. The elastic element 25 is used to achieve reset. The range of rotation of the positioning block 23 is adjusted by the adjusting nut 29 to avoid interference with the adjacent positioning base. The structure is compact.

[0036] The first translation drive component 4, the first upgrading drive component 5, the second lifting drive component 6, the second translation drive component 11, and the third lifting drive component 14 are all cylinders, which are connected to each other through air pipes for easy control and pipeline layout.

[0037] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the content of the present invention, should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
