Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial equipment technology, and more specifically, to a novel balancer. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale production and processing of workpieces such as bottle caps (e.g., spraying, drying), a large number of workpieces are typically stacked on pallets or trays for circulation. Currently, common production methods rely heavily on manual or semi-automated equipment for loading, unloading, stacking, and conveying pallets. This method is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also inefficient and difficult to match with modern high-speed production lines.

[0003] More importantly, due to the lack of a systematic circulation and scheduling mechanism, workpieces often cannot achieve standardized "first-in, first-out" management, potentially leading to excessively long dwell times for some workpieces and affecting overall production quality and coordination. Furthermore, frequent manual intervention increases uncertainty and safety risks in the production process. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a highly efficient and balanced buffer system capable of fully automated loading and unloading, pallet circulation, and empty pallet return, ensuring first-in, first-out logistics management. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of balancer to solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution;

[0006] A novel balancer includes a feeder, a lid infeed gripper, a lid outfeed gripper, a lid infeed gripping position, a lid outfeed gripping position, an empty pallet feeding assembly, an empty pallet return assembly, a pallet circulation assembly, a full pallet stacking position, a full pallet stacking position, and a full pallet unstacking position.

[0007] The feeder is arranged parallel to the empty pallet feeding assembly. The cover gripper is located on the cover gripping position and extends to the feeder to achieve parallel feeding. The output end of the empty pallet feeding assembly is connected to the cover gripping position. The input end of the empty pallet return assembly is connected to the cover gripping position, and the output end is connected to the cover gripping position. The cover gripper is installed on the cover gripping position to grip the cover on the pallet and transfer it to the discharge mechanism. The full pallet stacking position is located on the output side of the cover gripping position. The full pallet stacking position is located on the output side of the full pallet stacking position. The output side of the full pallet unstacking position is connected to the cover gripping position. The pallet circulation assembly is used to connect the full pallet stacking position and the full pallet unstacking position and to transport the stacked pallets from the full pallet stacking position to the full pallet unstacking position.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the empty pallet loading component includes an empty stack loading position, an empty pallet unloading position, and an empty unloading lifting position. The empty stack loading position, the empty pallet unloading position, and the empty unloading lifting position are connected in a straight line in sequence. The empty unloading lifting position is connected to the cover gripping position.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the empty pallet unpacking position uses a chain drive to drive the pallet, and a lifting electric cylinder is used to drive the pallet vertically at the empty pallet unpacking position, and forks are used to cooperate in unpacking and stacking the pallet.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the empty pallet return assembly includes an empty pallet buffer position and an empty pallet lifting position, the empty pallet buffer position and the empty pallet lifting position are linearly connected, the empty pallet buffer position is connected to the lid grabbing position, and the empty pallet lifting position is connected to the lid grabbing position.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the pallet circulation assembly includes multiple consecutive full pallet conveying positions for conveying full pallets from the full pallet stacking positions to the full pallet unpacking positions.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) This solution uses the combination of pallet circulation component, empty pallet loading component and empty pallet return component. The feeder inputs the cover into the lower part of the cover gripper, and then loads the pallet at the empty pallet loading position. The empty pallet loading position uses the chain to drive the roller to rotate and transport the pallet to the empty pallet unloading position. The empty pallet is then transported to the empty unloading lifting position and then to the cover gripping position. The cover is then neatly placed on the cover gripping position using the cover gripper. With the full pallet stacking position, full pallet stacking position and full pallet unloading position, the cover in and out circulation is realized. Thus, the device has the advantage of realizing the first-in-first-out of the whole stack of covers and better cooperating with the production line production.

[0014] (2) This scheme achieves automated loading and unloading by using the inlet gripper and the outlet gripper, and uses the chain-driven roller to drive the pallet and the lifting electric cylinder to automatically transport and unload the pallet. It also automatically adjusts the transport direction to achieve automated operation, reducing manual intervention. Thus, the device has the advantages of high automation and improved production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] To address the problems of localized overheating and insufficient drying caused by accumulation in traditional dryers, resulting in poor drying effects, Example 1 is proposed:

[0021] Please see Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, a novel balancer includes a feeder 1, a lid infeed gripper 2, a lid outfeed gripper 3, a lid infeed gripping position 4, a lid outfeed gripping position 5, an empty pallet feeding assembly 6, an empty pallet return assembly 7, a pallet circulation assembly 8, a full pallet stacking position 9, a full pallet stacking position 10, and a full pallet unstacking position 11.

[0022] The feeder 1 is set parallel to the empty pallet feeding assembly 6. The cover gripper 2 is set on the cover gripping position 4 and extends to the feeder 1 to achieve parallel feeding. The output end of the empty pallet feeding assembly 6 is connected to the cover gripping position 4. The input end of the empty pallet return assembly 7 is connected to the cover gripping position 5, and the output end is connected to the cover gripping position 4. The cover gripper 3 is installed on the cover gripping position 5 to grip the cover on the pallet and place it onto the discharge mechanism. The full pallet stacking position 9 is set on the output side of the cover gripping position 4. The full pallet stacking position 10 is set on the output side of the full pallet stacking position 9. The output side of the full pallet unstacking position 11 is connected to the cover gripping position 5. The pallet circulation assembly 8 is used to connect the full pallet stacking position 10 and the full pallet unstacking position 11 and to transport the stacked pallets from the full pallet stacking position 10 to the full pallet unstacking position 11.

[0023] The empty pallet loading component 6 includes an empty pallet loading position 61, an empty pallet unloading position 62, and an empty unloading lifting position 63. The empty pallet loading position 61, the empty pallet unloading position 62, and the empty unloading lifting position 63 are connected in a straight line in sequence. The empty unloading lifting position 63 is connected to the cover grabbing position 4. The empty pallet return component 7 includes an empty pallet buffer position 71 and an empty pallet lifting position 72. The empty pallet buffer position 71 and the empty pallet lifting position 72 are connected in a straight line. The empty pallet buffer position 71 is connected to the cover grabbing position 5, and the empty pallet lifting position 72 is connected to the cover grabbing position 4.

[0024] The pallet circulation assembly 8 includes multiple consecutive full pallet conveying stations 81 for conveying full pallets from full pallet stacking stations 10 to full pallet unstacking stations 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lid is fed into the area below the lid gripper 2 via the feeder 1. Simultaneously, the empty pallet loading position 61 in the empty pallet loading assembly 6 begins loading empty pallets. The empty pallet loading position 61 uses a chain-driven roller to rotate, smoothly conveying the stacked empty pallets to the empty pallet unloading position 62. At the empty pallet unloading position 62, the lifting cylinder drives the empty pallet stack to rise, cooperating with the pins to separate the empty pallets. Then, the fork leads the bottom empty pallet down and places it on the conveyor chain, realizing the separation of a single empty pallet. The separated empty pallets are conveyed to the empty pallet unloading lifting position 63 via the chain. The empty pallet unloading lifting position 63 adjusts the height of the empty pallets according to the height requirements of the lid gripping position 4, making it consistent with the conveying plane of the lid gripping position 4. Then, the empty pallets are conveyed to the lid gripping position 4 so that the lid gripper 2 can accurately grip the lid and place it on the empty pallet. When the lid gripper 2 presses the lid on the feeder 1... After a full empty pallet is placed in a preset arrangement, the full pallet is transported to the full pallet stacking position 9. The full pallet stacking position 9 also uses the cooperation of lifting cylinders and forks to stack multiple full pallets layer by layer to form a full stack. After the stacking is completed, the full stack is transported to the full pallet stacking position 10 for temporary storage. As production continues, the full stack on the full pallet stacking position 10 is transferred sequentially through multiple full pallet conveying stacking positions 81 in the pallet circulation component 8. During the conveying process, a 90-degree directional adjustment is achieved through a steering mechanism so that the full stack can accurately enter the full pallet unpacking position 11. The full pallet unpacking position 11 adopts a structure similar to the empty pallet unpacking position 62, which splits the full stack layer by layer. A single full pallet is transported to the lid grabbing position 5. The lid grabber 3 grabs the lid on the full pallet at the lid grabbing position 5 and places it on the discharge mechanism to complete the lid discharge process. The empty pallet is returned to the lid grabbing position 4 through the empty pallet return component 7. It should be further explained that: after the lid is removed, the empty pallet will first enter the empty pallet buffer position 71 for short-term storage, and then be transported to the empty pallet lifting position 72. After the empty pallet lifting position 72 adjusts the height of the empty pallet, it will be transported back to the lid grabbing position 4 to participate in the lid loading again, forming a complete cycle process.

[0026] Furthermore, to address the issue of low work efficiency due to the need for frequent manual intervention to ensure the normal operation of equipment, a second embodiment is proposed:

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and 2 The empty pallet unpacking position 62 uses a chain drive to drive the pallet. The empty pallet unpacking position 62 uses a lifting electric cylinder to drive the pallet vertically, and uses fork legs to cooperate in unpacking and stacking the pallet.

[0028] In this embodiment, the empty pallet unpacking position 62 uses a chain drive to drive the pallet and is equipped with a lifting electric cylinder to achieve automated transport and unpacking of the pallet. It also automatically adjusts the transport direction to achieve automated operation, reducing manual intervention. Thus, the device has the advantages of high automation and improved production efficiency.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
