Description

Handle pressing device in the system for assembling handle of container automatically}

The present invention relates to an automatic handle assembly device, and more particularly, to an automatic handle assembly device capable of assembling by pressing the handle on both sides of a container among devices constituting a system for automatically assembling a handle on both sides of a closed container or a general container. About.

Airtight containers and general containers made of plastic or synthetic resin are mainly used in a wide range of industries, such as construction materials containers (paints, waterproofing materials, adhesives, etc.), chemicals containers, food containers, and medical supplies containers.

A plastic airtight container is equipped with a handle for movement, and a plastic handle and an iron ring handle are mainly used.

Heavy containers are essentially assembled with handles to move, store, and transport. Currently, in most manufacturers, workers at the production site manually press-fit them or assemble them individually using a simple jig device.

This means that if a person assembles directly, productivity is greatly reduced in the process of assembling hundreds to thousands of units every day, and industrial occupational diseases of workers may be caused.

The container 2 is formed with oval-shaped fitting holes 2a on both sides of the upper end, and fitting protrusions 1a that can be inserted into the fitting holes are formed at both ends of the handle 1.

In general, the operator inserted one fitting protrusion of the handle into the fitting hole on one side of the container, bent the handle, and then assembled by hand by inserting the other fitting protrusion into the other fitting hole.

Therefore, an assembly system capable of automatically assembling the handle into the container is required. In particular, among the devices constituting the assembly system, there is no device that automatically presses the handle into the container and assembles it.

First, the handle made of plastic is light and it is very difficult for the fitting protrusion to be accurately pressed into the fitting hole because it is bent or twisted up and down, left and right. So, there was a hassle of manual assembly by the operator.

In addition, a means for locating the container at the correct position and a means for pressing-in so that the fitting protrusion of the handle is accurately fitted into the fitting hole of the container are also required.

The present invention relates to an automatic handle assembly device 30 among such handle assembly systems, and the automatic handle assembly device of the container handle automatic assembly system according to the present invention is largely from the support frame 100 and the handle automatic supply device 10. The handle waiting part 200 fixing the supplied handle 1 to wait until the container alignment part 300 aligns the container, and the container supplied by the container supply device 20 is lifted and rotated to insert the container. The container alignment unit 300 that adjusts the position of the hole 2a to the correct position, the fitting protrusion 1a of the handle 1 while bending 90° by pressing both ends of the handle 1 waiting in the handle waiting unit 200 ) And the fitting hole (2a) of the container (2) by hitting the handle aligning part 400, the aligned handle (1), so that the fitting protrusion (1a) is pressed into the fitting hole (2a) ) May be configured to include a press-fit portion 500 to assemble.

First, the support frame 100 will be described.

The support frame 100 may be installed vertically to mount the container alignment unit 300, the handle alignment unit 400, and the press-fit unit 500, and may support each component.

As shown, the support frame 100 may include vertical frames 110 on both sides and a horizontal frame 120 that is horizontally coupled to an upper end of the vertical frame 110.

In addition, the support plate 130 is attached to the front surface of the support frame 100, and the container alignment unit 300 and the handle alignment unit 400 may be mounted.

Next, the handle waiting part 200 will be described.

The handle waiting part 200 may be composed of a rotating shaft 210, a rotating cylinder 220, a distance adjusting cylinder 230, a slider 240, a gripping arm 250, and a gripper cylinder 260.

The rotation shaft 210 is installed horizontally at a certain distance apart from the front of the support plate 130, and is installed to be rotatable in the same transverse direction as the length direction of the handle 1.

Further, a rotation cylinder 220 for rotating the rotation shaft 210 is installed at one end of the rotation shaft 210. The rotary cylinder 220 is composed of a pinion coupled to one end of the rotary shaft 210 and a rack gear coupled to the pinion, and can rotate the rotary shaft 210 forward or reverse by reciprocating the rack. It is structured.

In addition, a distance adjustment cylinder 230 is coupled to the center of the rotation shaft 210. In addition, the slider 240 is coupled to the rod of the distance control cylinder 230 and is driven forward and backward.

That is, the distance adjustment cylinder 230 and the slider 240 function like an LM guide.

In addition, the gripping arm 250 is coupled to the end of the slider 240 in the transverse direction to move forward and backward. In addition, gripper cylinders 260 are coupled to both ends of the gripping arm 250.

The gripper cylinder 260 is a cylinder having a gripper () or fingers that can hold an object, and the gripper cylinder 260 is installed horizontally so that the handle can be held from the side.

Therefore, the gripper of the gripper cylinder 260 grips one handle horizontally supplied from the automatic handle supply device 10, and the rotation shaft 210 rotates 180° after the slider 240 moves backward. When the gripped one handle is transferred to the opposite side, that is, to the lower side of the handle alignment unit 400 and the upper side of the container alignment unit 300, the assembly standby state.

For reference, at this time, the fitting protrusion 1a is directed upward from the handle automatic supply device 10, and the handle 1 is turned over by the handle waiting part 200, so that the fitting protrusion 1a goes downward. It can maintain the standby state for assembly.

Next, the container alignment unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 together. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the main part of the present invention shown in Figure 3, Figure 5 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the container alignment portion and the handle alignment portion of the present invention shown in FIG.

The container alignment unit 300 may include a container mounting means 310, a container elevating means 320, a container rotating means, and a container detecting means 340.

Specifically, the container mounting means 310 is mounted on the container transferred to the transfer conveyor (c), and supports the lower portion of the container that is raised and lowered by the container lifting means 320.

The container mounting means 310 is composed of a circular mounting plate 311 and a mounting cylinder 312 installed below the mounting plate 311 to lift the mounting plate 311.

And the container lifting means 320 is a means for clamping the container to raise it to a position for assembling the handle, and descending again after the assembly is completed, a lifting rail 321, a lifting plate 322, a lifting cylinder 323 , Bracket 324, is configured to include a jig cap 325.

The lifting rails 321 are vertically disposed on both sides of the front side of the support plate 130.

In addition, the lifting plate 322 is vertically slidably coupled to the lifting rail 321.

In addition, at the upper end of the support plate 130, the lifting cylinder 323 is installed downward, and the rod of the lifting cylinder 323 is coupled to the lifting plate 322.

Accordingly, by driving the lifting cylinder 323, the lifting plate 322 may move up and down along the lifting rail 321.

In addition, the bracket 324 is coupled to the lower end of the elevator plate 322.

The bracket 324 is vertically coupled to the elevator plate 322 and installed horizontally.

At this time, the jig cap 325 is coupled to the lower surface of the bracket 324.

The jig cap 325 is made in a circular shape and has an outer diameter that can be custom inserted into the container. In addition, an elastic O-ring 326 is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the jig cap 325 and clamps the container by fitting it when inserted into the container.

Here, the jig cap 325 may have a tapered shape such that an outer diameter decreases toward the lower side. In addition, one or more elastic O-rings 326 may be inserted into the tapered outer peripheral surface of the jig cap 325 at regular intervals. This makes it possible to insert two or more different sizes of containers.

For reference, although the lifting height of the jig cap 325 is fixed by the lifting cylinder 323, the height may be precisely controlled using a servo motor (not shown). That is, the servo motor, the LM guide (not shown) operated by the servo motor, and the jig cap 325 that is elevated by the LM guide may be used to precisely control the elevation. So, you can assemble handles for containers of various sizes (heights).

Preferably, a triangular reinforcing member 327 is further provided between the support plate 130 and the bracket 324. The reinforcing member 327 ensures that the bracket 324 is well supported on the support plate 130 and at the same time, when the container is rotated by the container rotating means 330 after the assembly of the handle to be described later is completed, the raised handle is reinforced. While hitting the member 327, it rotates to one side and is seated on the side of the container.

This is to change the position of the handle (1) before taking out because there is a problem that the handle is caught when the container is taken out and transferred with the handle upright.

The container rotating means 330 is a configuration for rotating the container to align the fitting hole 2a of the container with the fitting protrusion of the handle, and includes an alignment motor 331, an alignment gear 332, and a belt 333.

The alignment motor 331 is installed on the rear surface of the support plate 130.

And the alignment gear 332 is rotatably installed between the bracket 324 and the jig cap 325. That is, the alignment gear 332 is rotatably coupled to the lower surface of the bracket 324, and the jig cap 325 is coupled to the alignment gear 332 and coaxially, so that the alignment gear 332 and the jig The cap 325 can rotate together.

In addition, the shaft of the alignment motor 331 and the alignment gear 332 are interlocked with the belt 333 so that the jig cap rotates forward or reverse by the forward or reverse rotation of the alignment motor 331, so that the jig cap The combined container rotates.

On the other hand, the container detecting means 340 is a sensor that detects the container for alignment of the position, size, and fitting hole of the container.

A position sensor 341 for sensing the position of the container to be transported is attached on the transport conveyor c. In addition, a size sensor 342 for sensing the size of the container is installed inside the mounting plate 311.

In the present invention, the container lifting means 320 and the container rotating means 330 are controlled according to the size of the container so that two types of containers having different sizes are supplied and assembled to enable assembly.

In addition, hall sensors 343 are installed on both sides of the jig cap 325 to detect both side fitting holes 2a of the container 2 coupled to the jig cap 325. The Hall sensor 343 may be a laser sensor.

In addition, a distance sensor 344 is installed on one side of the jig cap 325 to detect the distance to a rib protruding from the outer circumferential surface of the container and provided to be able to move forward and backward.

Therefore, when the mounting plate 311 primarily detects the size of the container 2, the jig cap 325 descends to fit the height of the detected container and is fitted into the container 2, and then the jig The cap 325 is raised.

Then, the jig cap 325 is rotated by driving the alignment motor 331, and when the hall sensor 343 detects the fitting hole 2a of the rotating container, the driving of the alignment motor 331 is stopped. While the container is stopped.

However, since the position of the fitting hole 2a is not accurately aligned due to a sudden stop, the fitting hole 2a is controlled to come to the correct position while repeating the forward or reverse rotation of the jig cap 325.

Still, since a minute error occurs, the distance sensor 344 detects the distance to the rib of the container while moving forward, determines a minute additional rotation amount of the container, and causes the jig cap 325 to rotate finely.

As a result, the handle alignment part 400 operates in a state in which the fitting hole 2a is positioned so as to be aligned with the fitting protrusion 1a of the handle 1.

Next, the handle alignment part 400 will be described.

The handle alignment part 400 may include a guide rail 410, a roller cylinder 420, a slider 430, and an alignment roller 440.

The guide rail 410 is vertically disposed on the front surface of the support plate 130. That is, it is disposed outside the lifting rail 321.

In addition, sliders 430 are coupled to the guide rails 410 and move up and down.

In addition, roller cylinders 420 are installed on the upper side of the guide rail 410 so as to be downward. At this time, the slider 430 is coupled to the rod of the roller cylinder 420.

Here, an alignment roller 440 is rotatably coupled to an end of the slider 430 and is positioned directly above both ends of the handle 1.

An alignment groove 441 of a'V' type, a'∪' type, or a'\_/' type may be formed along the circumference of the alignment roller 440.

This is because the handle (1) is deformed to the left and right while forming the handle (1) and supplied in a non-linear state. 441) It is intended to be in a straight line while entering the inside.

To this end, the alignment groove 441 must have a tapered shape that becomes narrower from the outside to the inside. In addition, the inner width of the alignment groove 441 is formed to be similar to the width of the handle, and the outer width should be longer than the width of the handle 1.

Next, the press-fit portion 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. 6 is a perspective view showing a press-fit portion of the present invention.

The press-in part 500 is bent by 90° by the handle alignment part 400 and the fitting protrusion 1a of the handle 1 aligned by the container alignment part 300 is aligned with the container fitting hole 2a. ), and press-fit by hitting both ends of the handle (1) so as to be fitted in, a large press-fit cylinder 510, a fixing member 520, a press-fit guide bar 530, a press-fit guide plate 540, and a spring 550 ).

The press-fit cylinder 510 is installed inward on both sides of the jig cap 325, and a plate-shaped fixing member 520 is coupled to the rod 511 of the press-fit cylinder 510.

Then, the press-fit guide bar 530 is inserted so as to be movable through both sides of the fixing member 520.

In addition, a press-fit guide plate 540 is coupled to an end of the press-fit guide bar 530, and the rod 511 of the press-fit cylinder 510 may protrude through the press-fit guide bar 530.

In addition, a spring 550 is installed on the press-fit guide bar 530 to impart elasticity between the fixing member 520 and the press-fit guide plate 540.

Therefore, when the rod 511 advances due to the operation of the press-fit cylinder 510, the fixing member 520 and the press-fit guide plate 540 advance, and the press-fit guide plate 540 reaches the outer circumferential surface of the container 2 As soon as the spring 550 is compressed, the rod 511 of the press-fit cylinder 510 continues to advance and strikes both ends of the handle 1, so that the fitting protrusion 1a becomes the fitting hole 2a. ) Is pressed.

To this end, it is preferable that a press-fit groove 541 is formed on the front surface of the press-fit guide plate 540. The rod 511 of the press-fit cylinder 510 protrudes through the press-fit groove 541, and the width of the press-fit groove 541 is the same as or slightly longer than the width of the handle 1, so that the press-fit groove ( When the handle 1 is seated in the 541, the handle 1 is prevented from swinging from side to side when pressed.

On the other hand, in the present invention, two types of containers of different sizes can be supplied.

Therefore, since the position of the fitting hole 2a is different depending on the container, it is necessary to adjust the height of the press-in part 500. To this end, it is desirable that the height of the press-fit cylinder 510 is adjusted by a separate height adjustment means (not shown).

The height adjustment means may include an LM guide installed vertically and a servo motor that controls the LM guide. The press-fit cylinder 510 is mounted on the LM guide and is controlled vertically.

Hereinafter, the operation sequence of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 together. Figure 7 shows an operating state diagram of the handle waiting portion of the present invention, Figure 8 shows an operating state diagram of the container alignment portion, the handle alignment portion and the press-in portion of the present invention.

First, when the gripper cylinder of the handle waiting part 200 grips the handle 1 and the rotation shaft 210 rotates 180° due to the operation of the rotation cylinder 220, the distance control cylinder 230 , The slider 240, the gripping arm 250, the gripper cylinder 260, and the handle 1 are rotated by 180° to horizontally stand the handle 1 directly under the handle alignment part 400. At this time, as described above, the handle 1 is turned over and the fitting protrusions 1a are located at the lower portions of both ends.

Next, the operation of the container alignment unit 300 will be described.

The container 2 is transferred through a transfer conveyor c and mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 311.

The size sensor 342 inside the mounting plate 311 detects the size of the container 2 and transmits a control signal according to the size to the container alignment unit 300, the handle alignment unit 400, and the press-fit unit 500. send.

And the container lifting means 320 is operated so that the jig cap 325 is lowered and inserted into the inlet of the container 2, and is fitted. At this time, the elastic O-ring 326 is in close contact so that it is not easily removed.

In addition, while the jig cap 325 rises, the mounting plate 311 rises by the operation of the mounting cylinder 312 at the same time to raise the container.

Depending on the size of the container 2, the container rotating means 330 is operated to rotate the jig cap 325 while the hall sensor 343 detects the position of the fitting hole 2a of the container 2.

When the Hall sensor 343 is sensed, the container rotation means 330 is stopped and the container is also stopped.

At the same time, while the distance sensor 344 advances, it contacts the outer circumferential surface of the container 2 and finally detects whether the container 2 is aligned, and then rotates the container rotation means 330 again to position the fitting hole 2a. Align correctly.

Next, the operation of the handle alignment unit 400 will be described.

When the alignment of the container 2 is completed, the alignment roller 440 of the handle alignment part 400 descends and bends 90° while pressing both ends of the handle 1 waiting at the lower side.

At this time, as described above, even if the handle 1 is partially deformed to the left and right, it is included within the width of the alignment groove 441, so that the handle 1 is inserted into the alignment groove 441 and guided to the center of the alignment groove 441 The handle (1), which has been corrected for bending, is bent while maintaining a straight line.

Next, the operation of the press-in part 500 will be described.

When the handle 1 is aligned by the handle alignment part 400, the fitting protrusion 1a and the fitting hole 2a are placed in a straight line.

In this state, the press-in cylinder 510 of the press-in part 500 is operated and the rod moves forward and strikes both ends of the handle 1 so that the fitting protrusion 1a is press-fit into the fitting hole 2a.

When the press-fitting is completed, the alignment roller 440 rises, and at the same time, the jig cap 325 is rotated again in one direction to be assembled, and then the raised handle 1 collides with the reinforcing member 327 and is laid on one side while the container It is seated on the side of (2).

Then, the jig cap 325 is lowered again so that the container 2 is mounted on the transfer conveyor c, and the jig cap 325 is separated from the container.

To this end, it is preferable that clamping means 600 for clamping the container 2 are further provided on both sides of the transfer conveyor c.

The clamping means 600 may be composed of a clamping cylinder 610 installed horizontally on both sides of the transfer conveyor c and a clamper 620 coupled to the rod of the clamping cylinder 610. In this case, the clamper 620 has an arc shape in which the inner surface is formed equal to the curvature of the container 2.

Accordingly, the clamper 620 moves forward by the operation of the clamping cylinder 610 to clamp the outer peripheral surface of the container 2, and the jig cap 325 rises and is removed from the container 2.

And the transfer conveyor (c) operates again to transfer the container (2) with the handle assembled to the assembly container take-out device (40).
