Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling machine technology, and in particular to an IBC (Iron Chamber) visual filling production line. Background Technology

[0002] The IBC (Integrated Bus Capacity) visual filling line is a modern production system that integrates automation, intelligence, and precision. Through a series of processes such as automatic loading, positioning, filling, weighing and re-inspection, cap tightening, labeling, and stacking, it achieves fully unmanned operation of the IBC filling process. It can detect the position of the barrel opening, liquid level, label information, and barrel defects in real time to ensure accurate filling, tight sealing, and compliant labeling.

[0003] Information such as the position of the barrel opening, liquid level, and label information can be checked using a visual alignment camera. For example, the prior art Chinese patent publication number "CN119100322A" discloses a visual alignment filling machine, which includes a filling component set inside the frame and a conveying component set at the bottom of the frame. The barrel to be filled is placed on the conveying working surface of the conveying component. The conveying component transports the barrel to be filled into the filling working surface of the filling component. By setting the conveying component to transport the barrel to be filled into the filling working surface of the filling component, the filling component performs the filling action on the barrel. During filling, the filling beam adjusts its position relative to the barrel so that the filling head can be aligned with the barrel below. The filling head moves up and down on the filling seat so that the filling head can enter or leave the filling working surface, thereby completing the filling action on the barrel.

[0004] In practice, the fixed connection between the camera and the camera base makes it inconvenient to disassemble and maintain. Considering that the camera needs maintenance after long-term use or during the camera assembly process, the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly will affect the efficiency of camera maintenance and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as the inconvenience of disassembling and maintaining the camera and the camera base, and to propose an IBC ton container visual filling production line.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: Design an IBC (Iron Chamber) visual filling production line, including a mounting frame, which is installed above the conveying assembly, and a drive assembly is arranged inside the mounting frame, which is used to drive the filling assembly and the support base to move. A bracket is detachably connected to the side of the support base via a fixing component, and a vision module is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a base, which is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket. A rod is slidably connected to the base in the shaft hole. The rod has a T-shaped cross-section, and its end passes through the base and the bracket and is fixedly connected to a pin.

[0008] Furthermore, a compression spring is sleeved between the annular protrusion at the periphery of the end of the rod and the concave portion of the base; The rod is rotatably connected to the base and the bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the support base has an installation groove on its end face, and two stepped grooves are circumferentially distributed at the opening of the installation groove. The opposite ends of the two stepped grooves form an installation position between the support base and the inner wall of the support base. The support base has a positioning groove on the inner side of the installation position.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes a connecting seat, which has a cavity inside. A pair of stop portions are provided at the top of the inner wall of the cavity. The end face of the connecting seat is provided with a relief groove, which is offset from the pair of stop portions. The rod is positioned within the connecting seat via the relief groove, and the rod is rotated half a revolution to stop the pin within the stop portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of one side of the connecting seat has two protrusions, and positioning beads are embedded at the bottom of the two protrusions; The two protrusions slide along the stepped groove and stop in the mounting position, and the positioning bead of the positioning ball is locked in the positioning groove.

[0012] The present invention proposes an IBC (Iron Chamber) visual filling production line, which has the following advantages: The present invention sets a fixing component between the support base and the bracket. After pressing and rotating the rod in the fixing component to drive the pin to separate from the stop part, the bracket and the support base can be disassembled and separated. After disassembly, the visual module can be directly cleaned, maintained or replaced. In this component, the connecting seat and the support seat in the fixed assembly are positioned and locked by positioning beads. The connecting seat can be directly rotated to drive the positioning beads to separate from the positioning groove, which facilitates the improvement of the assembly efficiency of the fixed assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-6 An IBC (Iron Chamber) visual filling line includes a mounting frame 1, which is mounted above a conveying assembly 2. A drive assembly 3 is disposed inside the mounting frame 1, which is used to drive the filling assembly 4 and the support base 5 to move. A bracket 7 is detachably connected to the side of the support base 5 via a fixing component 6, and a vision module 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket 7.

[0017] In some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a two-dimensional drive platform and a support plate. The support plate is fixedly connected to the working end of the two-dimensional drive platform. The filling assembly 4 includes a filling tube, which is connected to the filling mechanism for filling. The side of the support plate is connected to the filling tube through a lifting structure, and the support base 5 is fixedly connected to it through locking bolts. Among them, the two-dimensional driving platform drives the vision module 8 and the filling tube to move. The vision module 8 is used to detect the barrel opening position, liquid level, label information and barrel defects in real time, and helps the filling tube to be positioned and filled by lifting. The specific implementation method and structure are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, the core components of the vision module 8 include a lens, a light source, an image acquisition card, and a vision processor. The lens captures high-definition images and transmits them to the processor. Subsequently, the processor uses image processing algorithms such as edge detection, template matching, feature extraction, and color analysis to analyze the images, accurately identify the center coordinates and contours of the bucket opening, measure the pixel height of the liquid level line, compare the characters and barcode information on the label, or discover defects such as dents and scratches on the bucket body through spot analysis and texture comparison. The lens is fixedly connected to the bracket 7. More specifically, a labeling device is also provided on one side of the conveying component 2; The conveying assembly 2 is a roller conveyor belt, which is used to transport the tonnes to the bottom of the filling assembly 4 and the vision module 8.

[0018] Furthermore, the fixing component 6 includes a base 61, which is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket 7. A rod 62 is slidably connected to the base 61 in the shaft hole. The rod 62 has a T-shaped cross-section, and its end passes through the base 61 and the bracket 7 and is fixedly connected to a pin 63.

[0019] Furthermore, a compression spring 64 is sleeved between the annular protrusion at the end periphery of the rod 62 and the concave portion of the base 61; The rod 62 is rotatably connected to the base 61 and the bracket 7.

[0020] More specifically, the support base 5 has an installation groove on its end face, and two stepped grooves 51 are circumferentially distributed at the opening of the installation groove. The opposite ends of the two stepped grooves 51 form an installation position 53 between them and the inner wall of the support base 5. The support base 5 has a positioning groove 52 on the inner side of the installation position 53.

[0021] In general, the fixing component 6 also includes a connecting seat 65, which has a cavity inside. A pair of stop portions 66 are provided at the top of the inner wall of the cavity. The end face of the connecting seat 65 is provided with a relief groove 651, which is offset from the pair of stop portions 66. The rod 62 is positioned within the connecting seat 65 via the relief groove 651, and the rod 62 is rotated half a revolution so that the pin 63 stops within the stop portion 66.

[0022] Reference Figure 4 , 5As shown in 6, under normal circumstances, the rod 62 drives the pin 63 to move towards the base 61 under the elastic support of the compression spring 64. However, due to the misalignment of the clearance groove 651 and the stop part 66, and the fact that the pin 63 is stopped in the stop part 66, the base 61 cannot be driven to separate from the support seat 5 under the above circumstances, that is, the vision module 8 is in a fixed state. In this process, after the pressing rod 62 drives the pin 63 to disengage from the stop part 66, the rod 62 rotates half a circle. When the pin 63 aligns with the relief groove 651, the bracket 7 and the support seat 5 can be separated, and the rod 62 is reset by the compression spring 64.

[0023] Finally, the outer wall of the connecting seat 65 has two protrusions 67, and positioning beads 68 are embedded at the bottom of the two protrusions 67. The two protrusions 67 slide along the stepped groove 51 and stop in the mounting position 53, and the positioning bead of the positioning bead 68 is locked in the positioning groove 52.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, when the protrusion 67 is rotated and set in the mounting position 53, the positioning ball of the positioning ball 68 is locked in the positioning groove 52, and the connecting seat 65 can be fixed because the protrusion 67 abuts against the mounting position 53. Similarly, when rotating the connecting seat 65, the connecting seat 65 can be driven to rotate when the rotational torque is greater than the positioning support force of the positioning ball 68. After the protrusion 67 is misaligned and separated from the mounting position 53, the connecting seat 65 can be disassembled. Specifically, the base 61 and the bracket 7 can be fixed together by a positioning structure with the same structure, or the base 61 can be directly fixed to the bracket 7 by locking bolts.

[0025] More specifically, the positioning ball 68 consists of a housing, a spring, and a high-hardness steel ball. Its core principle is to use the spring's elasticity to push the ball out of the housing. When the ball contacts the recessed part, it is pushed into the positioning point by the spring force, thus locking it in place. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the spring's elasticity meets the resistance requirement between the ball and the positioning groove; therefore, it is not necessary to limit the spring's specifications, as long as it prevents the connecting seat 65 from rotating freely.

[0026] Working method: The vision module 8 is used to detect the position of the barrel opening, liquid level, label information and barrel defects in real time. Under the action of the vision module 8, the filling tube extends into the barrel for filling under the action of the drive component 3 and the lifting structure. After the pressing rod 62 drives the pin 63 to disengage from the stop part 66, the rod 62 rotates half a circle. When the pin 63 aligns with the relief groove 651, the bracket 7 and the support base 5 can be separated, and the vision module 8 can be cleaned, maintained, and replaced.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
