Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire extinguisher bottle production equipment, specifically to a bottle gripping device for packing fire extinguisher bottles. Background Technology
[0002] After fire extinguisher bottles are manufactured and labeled, they need to be packed and sealed. During production, to prevent damage, fire extinguisher bottles are spaced apart during transport. However, during packing, to reduce costs and maximize space utilization, the bottles are typically placed close together, and in multi-layered packing, the bottles on each layer face opposite directions. Existing automatic fire extinguisher bottle packing devices use cylinders or similar telescopic components to adjust the gripping distance of the gripping parts. Due to the high frequency of operation, prolonged use can affect the accuracy and lifespan of the gripping parts. Therefore, a new bottle-gripping device is needed to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a bottle-grabbing device for packing fire extinguisher bottles, which is used to grab and place fire extinguisher bottles when packing fire extinguisher bottles, and can conveniently adjust the spacing between the grabbed fire extinguisher bottles.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a bottle gripping device for fire extinguisher bottle packaging, including a moving mechanism, a bottle gripping mechanism, and a limiting support mechanism. The moving part of the moving mechanism is connected to the bottle gripping mechanism, and the moving mechanism drives the bottle gripping mechanism to reciprocate between the bottle gripping station and the bottle filling station. The bottle gripping mechanism includes a mounting base, an elastic support member, and bottle gripping members. Two mounting baffles are provided on the mounting base, and a mounting shaft is provided between the two mounting baffles. Two bottle gripping members are set on the mounting shaft and move along the mounting shaft. The elastic support member is connected to the two bottle gripping members and abuts against the two mounting baffles respectively. The limiting support mechanism is set at the bottle filling station. During the process of the bottle gripping mechanism moving towards the bottle filling station, the limiting support mechanism abuts against and cooperates with the bottle gripping member in the forward direction of movement and adjusts the distance between the two bottle gripping members. After the bottle-grabbing mechanism grabs a fire extinguisher bottle at the bottle-grabbing station, the moving mechanism drives the bottle-grabbing mechanism to move towards the packing station. During the movement, the limiting and supporting mechanism cooperates with the bottle-grabbing mechanism to adjust the distance between the two grabbed fire extinguisher bottles, so that the two fire extinguisher bottles grabbed by the bottle-grabbing mechanism at the packing station are in a suitable spacing for packing.
[0005] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the bottle gripping mechanism also includes a bottle rotating drive component, which is connected to the moving part of the moving mechanism. The rotating part of the bottle rotating drive component is connected to the mounting base. The bottle rotating drive component drives the mounting base to rotate, and the mounting shaft is set along the moving direction of the bottle gripping mechanism when the bottle gripping mechanism moves.
[0006] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, there are at least two mounting shafts that are parallel to each other, and the bottle gripper is connected and cooperated with each mounting shaft.
[0007] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the elastic support component is a support spring, which is mounted on the mounting shaft and its two ends respectively abut against the two bottle gripping components.
[0008] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the position of the limiting support mechanism in the moving direction of the bottle gripping mechanism is adjustable.
[0009] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the limiting support mechanism includes a limiting support rod, which is parallel to the moving direction of the bottle gripping mechanism, and a support clearance hole is provided on the mounting baffle at the position corresponding to the limiting support rod.
[0010] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the moving mechanism includes a moving frame and a linear module. A moving guide rail is provided on the moving frame, the linear module is provided on the moving frame, the moving part of the linear module is provided with a moving base plate, the moving base plate cooperates with the moving guide rail, and the bottle rotating drive component is provided on the moving base plate. A limit support seat is installed on the mobile frame at the bottling station. The limit support rod is set on the limit support seat and is a screw rod that is threaded into the threaded hole on the limit support seat.
[0011] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a displacement sensor is provided on the movable frame and / or movable base plate.
[0012] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the bottle gripping component includes a bottle gripping base, a suction cup mounting plate, and suction cups. The bottle gripping base is provided with linear bearings, and each linear bearing is respectively matched with each mounting shaft. The suction cup mounting plate is located at the bottom of the bottle gripping base and is provided with a number of suction cups.
[0013] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the suction cup mounting plate is an arc-shaped plate, and the suction cups are arranged on the inner arc surface of the suction cup mounting plate and distributed in multiple rows.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: When the bottle-grabbing mechanism is at the bottle-grabbing station, it does not collide with the limiting support mechanism. At this time, under the action of the elastic support, the two bottle-grabbing parts of the bottle-grabbing mechanism are blocked by the two mounting baffles respectively, so that the two bottle-grabbing parts are at a suitable distance for grabbing fire extinguisher bottles at the bottle-grabbing station. During the process of moving the bottle-grabbing mechanism to the bottling station, the limiting support mechanism collides with the bottle-grabbing part in front of the moving direction. The bottle-grabbing part moves closer to the other bottle-grabbing part, causing the two grabbed fire extinguisher bottles to move closer to each other. When the bottle-grabbing mechanism reaches the bottling station, the two grabbed fire extinguisher bottles are at a suitable distance for packing. The present invention does not use active drive components such as cylinders to adjust the bottle-grabbing distance of the bottle-grabbing mechanism, which helps to reduce equipment costs and avoids the maintenance costs, upkeep costs and related labor costs caused by using active drive components. It can also avoid production problems such as precision caused by component failure. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0018] like Figures 1-4A bottle-grabbing device for packing fire extinguisher bottles includes a moving mechanism 1, a bottle-grabbing mechanism 2, and a limiting support mechanism 3. The moving part of the moving mechanism 1 is connected to the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2. The moving mechanism 1 drives the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 to reciprocate between a bottle-grabbing station and a bottle-filling station. When the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 is at the bottle-grabbing station, it can grab the fire extinguisher bottles to be packed. The discharge station of the fire extinguisher bottle production equipment is set at the bottle-grabbing station and continuously provides fire extinguisher bottles to the bottle-grabbing device of this embodiment. When the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 is at the bottle-filling station, it can place the grabbed fire extinguisher bottles. The packing components related to the fire extinguisher bottle packing equipment are set at the packing station so that the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 can cooperate with it to pack the grabbed fire extinguisher bottles.
[0019] The bottle-gripping mechanism 2 includes a bottle-rotating drive component 21, a mounting base 22, an elastic support component 23, and a bottle-gripping component. The bottle-rotating drive component 21 is a geared motor, a rotary cylinder, or other type of rotary drive component. The bottle-rotating drive component 21 is located in the moving part of the moving mechanism 1. The rotating part of the bottle-rotating drive component 21 is connected to the mounting base 22. The rotation axis of the bottle-rotating drive component 21 is vertical, and the rotary drive component can drive the mounting base 22 to rotate horizontally. Two mounting baffles are provided on the lower end face of the mounting base 22. An installation shaft is provided between two installation baffles. There are two bottle-grabbing components, each of which is mounted on the installation shaft and can move along the installation shaft. An elastic support 23 is connected to the two bottle-grabbing components. Due to its own elasticity, the elastic support 23 pushes the two bottle-grabbing components away from each other and makes the two bottle-grabbing components abut against the installation baffles on the corresponding sides. At this time, the distance between the two bottle-grabbing components matches the placement distance of the fire extinguisher bottles to be grabbed at the bottle-grabbing station. When the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 is at the bottle-grabbing station, it can grab two fire extinguisher bottles at the same time through the two bottle-grabbing components.
[0020] Before the moving mechanism 1 drives the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 to move, the bottle-rotating drive component 21 drives the mounting base 22 to rotate, making the mounting shaft parallel to the moving direction of the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2. The limiting support mechanism 3 is set at the bottling station. During the process of the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 being driven to move towards the bottling station, the bottle-grabbing component in front of the moving direction abuts against the limiting support mechanism 3. As the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 moves continuously, the bottle-grabbing component abutting against the limiting support mechanism 3 moves along the mounting shaft. The two bottle-grabbing components move closer and closer, making the distance between the fire extinguisher bottles grasped by the two components smaller. When the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 moves to the bottling station, the two grasped fire extinguisher bottles are above the packaging box on the fire extinguisher bottle packing equipment, and the two fire extinguisher bottles are at a suitable distance for packing. The relevant components of the fire extinguisher bottle packing equipment lift the packaging box, so that the grasped fire extinguisher bottles are put into the packaging box.
[0021] There are at least two mounting shafts, each parallel to the other. The bottle gripper is connected and cooperates with at least two mounting shafts. This design can prevent the bottle gripper from circumferentially deflecting when installed through a single mounting shaft, which would affect the accuracy of bottle gripping and packing.
[0022] As a specific example of the elastic support member 23, the elastic support member 23 is a support spring. The support spring is mounted on the mounting shaft, and the two ends of the support spring abut against or connect to the two bottle gripping members respectively. In order to improve the stability of the support, at least two mounting shafts are fitted with support springs.
[0023] The position of the limiting support mechanism 3 is adjustable in the moving direction of the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2. By adjusting the position of the limiting support mechanism 3, the distance between the two fire extinguisher bottles grasped by the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 at the bottling station can be adjusted to meet the packing requirements of fire extinguisher bottles of different specifications. As a specific example of the limiting support mechanism 3, the limiting support mechanism 3 includes a limiting support rod, which is parallel to the moving direction of the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2. A support clearance hole is provided on the mounting baffle at the position corresponding to the limiting support rod. When the moving mechanism 1 drives the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 to move a certain distance towards the bottling station, the limiting support rod passes through the support clearance hole and abuts against the bottle-grabbing component.
[0024] The moving mechanism 1 includes a moving frame 11 and a linear module 12. The moving frame 11 is mounted above the bottle gripping station and the bottling station via a support structure. A moving guide rail is provided on the moving frame 11, and the moving guide rail is parallel to the moving direction of the bottle gripping mechanism 2. The linear module 12 is mounted on the moving frame 11. The moving part of the linear module 12 is provided with a moving base plate, which cooperates with the moving guide rail. A bottle rotating drive component 21 is mounted on the moving base plate. The linear module 12 drives the bottle gripping mechanism 2 to reciprocate between the bottle gripping station and the bottling station by driving the moving base plate to move along the moving guide rail.
[0025] A limiting support seat 13 is provided on the mobile frame 11 at the bottling station. The limiting support seat 13 has a threaded hole, and the limiting support rod is a screw rod. The limiting support rod is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole on the limiting support seat 13. The limiting support mechanism 3 can be adjusted by rotating the limiting support rod. As a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the bottle gripping mechanism 2, the limiting support mechanism 3 includes at least two limiting support rods. When the mobile mechanism 1 drives the bottle gripping mechanism 2 to move a certain distance towards the bottling station, the two limiting support rods simultaneously pass through the top support clearance hole and abut against the bottle gripping component.
[0026] Displacement sensors, such as proximity switches, can also be installed on the mobile frame 11 and / or the mobile base plate. Connecting the displacement sensors to the control system of the fire extinguisher bottle production equipment and / or the fire extinguisher bottle packing equipment can further facilitate the automatic packing of fire extinguisher bottles.
[0027] The bottle gripping component includes a bottle gripping base 24, a suction cup mounting plate 25, and suction cups 26. The bottle gripping base 24 is equipped with linear bearings, each of which cooperates with a mounting shaft to mount the bottle gripping base 24 onto the mounting base 22. The bottom of the bottle gripping base 24 is equipped with a suction cup mounting plate 25, which is provided with a plurality of suction cups 26. The suction cups 26 are industrial suction cups 26 specifically designed for gripping fire extinguisher bottles using existing technology. Combined with a negative pressure system, they enable the picking and placing of fire extinguisher bottles without damaging the outer surface of the fire extinguisher bottles.
[0028] For further implementation methods, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The suction cup mounting plate 25 is a tile-shaped arc plate. The outer arc surface of the suction cup mounting plate 25 is connected to the bottle gripping base 24. The suction cups 26 are set on the inner arc surface of the suction cup mounting plate 25. The suction cups 26 are distributed in multiple rows on the inner arc surface of the suction cup mounting plate 25. Each row of suction cups 26 is distributed along the axial direction of the suction cup mounting plate 25 to further improve the gripping effect on the fire extinguisher bottle.
[0029] When using the bottle-grabbing device of this embodiment to pack fire extinguisher bottles, the moving mechanism 1 first moves the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 to the bottle-grabbing station. After the fire extinguisher bottles at the bottle-grabbing station are raised to a suitable height for grabbing, the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 grabs two fire extinguisher bottles. Then, the bottle-turning drive 21 adjusts the orientation of the fire extinguisher bottles and moves the mounting shaft along the moving direction. The moving mechanism 1 drives the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 and the grabbed fire extinguisher bottles to move towards the packing station. During the movement, the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 and the limiting support mechanism 3 cooperate to adjust the distance between the grabbed fire extinguisher bottles. At the packing station, the relevant components of the fire extinguisher bottle packing equipment move to lift the packaging box, and the bottle-grabbing mechanism 2 puts the grabbed fire extinguisher bottles into the packaging box. When it is necessary to place double-layer fire extinguisher bottles in a staggered orientation into the packaging box, after the bottle grabbing mechanism 2 grabs the fire extinguisher bottle for the second time at the bottle grabbing station, the bottle rotating drive component 21 pre-adjusts the orientation of the fire extinguisher bottle so that it is opposite to the orientation of the fire extinguisher bottle when it was first packed. Then the moving mechanism 1 drives the bottle grabbing mechanism 2 to move to the bottle packing station for the second packing.
