Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated palletizing technology for tin cans, and more particularly to a palletizing robot for beer production. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing automation in the food and beverage industry, and the transformation of beer production towards intelligent manufacturing, there is a need for efficient and precise processing of palletizing operations in the packaging process, which requires the use of palletizing robots. In practical use, palletizing robots with similar structures still have many shortcomings, such as: most models only support fixed-size cans, requiring frequent adjustments; poor environmental adaptability, dusty and oily environments can easily cause photoelectric sensors to misjudge; at the same time, traditional palletizing robots cannot use the same structure to automatically grasp partitions, covers and cans, requiring one or two people to work together; the equipment structure is complex and maintenance is cumbersome, so it is necessary to design a palletizing robot for beer production. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a palletizing robot for beer production.

[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a palletizing robot for beer production, comprising a safety net, a lid supply station, a chain conveyor, a can collection platform, a robotic arm, a can inlet conveyor, a pallet supply machine, and a palletizing station; wherein a robotic arm is fixedly connected to the ground between two of the lid supply stations, a chain conveyor is fixedly connected to the ground at the front end of the robotic arm, a palletizing station is fixedly connected to the ground at the output end of the chain conveyor, and a can inlet conveyor is fixedly connected to the ground at the input end of the chain conveyor.

[0005] As a further improvement to the above solution, the output end of the robotic arm is fixedly connected to a multi-point suction cup, and a partition is placed inside the cover plate supply station.

[0006] The above technical solutions improve the alignment accuracy between the partition and the tank, avoid manual adjustment time, and accelerate the palletizing cycle.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the tank platform is equipped with a pallet feeder fixedly connected to the ground, which contains empty pallets.

[0008] The above technical solutions reduce labor intensity, ensure that the supply of empty pallets matches the production line speed, and improve overall efficiency.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the output end of the chain conveyor is provided with a waiting station, and the input end of the chain conveyor is provided with a tank collection platform.

[0010] The above technical solutions enhance the system's anti-interference capabilities and prevent material blockage caused by instantaneous overload.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, a tank sorting station is fixedly connected to the top of the chain conveyor, and a limit frame is provided on one side of the tank sorting station.

[0012] The above technical solutions optimize space utilization and provide a standardized target array for robotic arm grasping.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting frame is rotatably connected to the top of the filling conveyor.

[0014] The above technical solutions reduce the amount of mechanical modification work during model changeover and shorten the production line debugging cycle.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes a modular design of a rear-mounted rotating baffle and a shaping mold to enable flexible switching of can arrangement, allowing for adaptation to different can types simply by changing the mold. The structure employs standardized interface connections, allowing operators to quickly disassemble and replace the corresponding mold components when product specifications need adjustment, without modifying the robot end effector or other complex mechanisms. This modular design provides the equipment with highly flexible production capabilities, making it particularly suitable for switching between multi-variety, small-batch production modes, significantly reducing production line adjustment time and costs.

[0016] This invention utilizes a robotic arm integrating multi-point suction cups, dual-joint pneumatic grippers, and strong magnetic components to coordinate and drive precise picking and releasing actions of tanks, partitions, and covers, thereby achieving full automation of the material handling process. Its motion control system combines pre-programmed algorithms with visual guidance technology to ensure synchronization and posture correction between workstations. Combined with the continuous conveying mechanism of the chain conveyor and the automatic replenishment function of the pallet feeder, a closed-loop production chain is formed, completely eliminating the need for manual intervention. At the same time, the main body of the equipment adopts lubrication-free sliding guide rails and self-cleaning transmission components, significantly reducing the frequency and cost of daily maintenance.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments. Example:

[0020] Please combine Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a palletizing robot for beer production includes a safety net 1, a lid supply station 2, a chain conveyor 3, a can collection platform 5, a robotic arm 6, a can inlet conveyor 7, a pallet supply machine 8, and a palletizing station 11. A robotic arm 6 is fixedly connected to the ground between two lid supply stations 2. The front end of the robotic arm 6 is fixedly connected to the ground by a chain conveyor 3. The output end of the chain conveyor 3 is fixedly connected to the ground by the palletizing station 11, and the input end of the chain conveyor 3 is fixedly connected to the ground by the can inlet conveyor 7.

[0021] The output end of the robotic arm 6 is fixedly connected to a multi-point suction cup, and a partition is placed inside the cover plate supply station 2.

[0022] The robotic arm integrates multi-point suction cups, dual-joint pneumatic grippers, and strong magnetic components to work together to drive precise picking and releasing of tanks, baffles, and covers, thereby achieving full automation of the material handling process.

[0023] The bottom of the tank collection platform 5 is equipped with a pallet feeder 8 that is fixedly connected to the ground, and empty pallets are placed inside it.

[0024] The output end of the chain conveyor 3 is equipped with a waiting station 4, and the input end of the chain conveyor 3 is equipped with a tank collection platform 5.

[0025] The top of the chain conveyor 3 is fixedly connected to the tank sorting station 9, and a limit frame 10 is provided on one side of the tank sorting station 9.

[0026] The limit frame 10 is rotatably connected to the top of the filling conveyor 3.

[0027] The inlet conveyor 7 transports the completed beer cans to the collection platform 5 of the chain conveyor 3, and then pushes them to the sorting station 9 via the main drive system of the chain conveyor 3. During this process, the limit frame 10 connected to the top of the chain conveyor rotates synchronously, pushing multiple cans into the sorting station 9 for orderly arrangement.

[0028] The implementation principle of a palletizing robot for beer production in this embodiment is as follows: the empty pallets stored inside the pallet feeder 8 are smoothly transported to the starting end of the chain conveyor 3 through the automatic feeding structure of the pallet feeder 8. As the chain conveyor 3 continues to drive, the empty pallets move along the preset track to the palletizing station 11 and complete precise positioning. At the same time, the can conveyor 7 transports the completed beer cans to the can collection platform 5 of the chain conveyor 3, and then pushes them to the can sorting station 9 through the main drive system of the chain conveyor 3. During this process, the limiting frame 10 connected to the top of the chain conveyor rotates synchronously, pushing multiple cans into the can sorting station 9 in an orderly manner for arrangement, ensuring that the cans enter the subsequent process in a standardized matrix form. As the core execution unit, robotic arm 6 first extracts a partition from the cover plate supply station 2 and places it on the surface of an empty pallet at the palletizing station 11. Then, it grabs a cover plate from the same station to seal the can at the top of the waiting station 4. Through the coordinated control of multi-point suction cups and pneumatic clamps, the robotic arm stacks the partition plate and can layer by layer on the pallet to form a multi-layer finished product stack. When the stacking height reaches the set value, the robotic arm finally places the top cover plate to complete the sealing and starts the output program to transfer the entire stack of products. At this time, the pallet feeder 8 simultaneously replenishes new empty pallets to the palletizing station, and the system enters the next cycle, realizing continuous automated production.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
