Adjusting device, packaging apparatus and adjusting method
View Patent ↗The present application relates to an adjusting device, a packaging apparatus, and an adjusting method. In the adjusting device, a first adjuster may provide a first adjustment for a structure to be adjusted such that all the structures to be adjusted are disposed at equal intervals along theoretical spacings in a first direction (a), and a second adjuster may adjust a spacing between the structure to be adjusted and a structure to be adjusted adjacent thereto such that the structures to be adjusted may be disposed in alignment with corresponding receptacles, facilitating precise placement of each structure to be adjusted in the corresponding receptacle.
1 . An adjusting device, comprising:
a first adjuster;
at least two followers, each of the followers being movably disposed on the first adjuster in a first direction; and
at least two second adjusters connected to the at least two followers in one-to-one correspondence; wherein all the second adjusters are capable of following the followers where they are located to move synchronously in the first direction relative to the first adjuster; and
wherein each of the second adjusters comprises a power assembly and a bearing that are mounted on each of the followers, the bearing is in transmission connection with the power assembly, and the power assembly is configured to drive the bearing, independently from other bearings, the first adjuster, and the at least two followers, to move in the first direction so that the second adjusters are capable of adjusting, in the first direction, a spacing between bearings adjacent to power assemblies under the action of the corresponding power assemblies, and
each of the at least two second adjusters including the power assembly and the bearing is wholly disposed on a side of one of the at least two followers opposite from the first adjuster.
2 . The adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first adjuster comprises an adjusting structure that is movably disposed in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; and each of the followers is capable of converting movement of the first adjuster in the second direction into movement of the second adjuster connected thereto in the first direction.
3 . The adjusting device according to claim 2 , wherein the adjusting structure is provided with at least two adjusting slots, and each of the follower comprises a follower seat and a follower structure disposed on the follower seat;
wherein all the adjusting slots are disposed at intervals in the first direction and are disposed radially in the second direction; and
the follower structures are disposed in the adjusting slots in one-to-one correspondence.
4 . The adjusting device according to claim 2 , wherein the first adjuster further comprises a first slide rail and a first slider, the first slide rail is disposed extending in the second direction, and the first slider is connected slidably between the adjusting structure and the first slide rail in the second direction.
5 . The adjusting device according to claim 2 , wherein the first adjuster comprises a driver in driving connection with the adjusting structure, the driving structure functioning to drive the adjusting structure to move in the second direction.
6 . The adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device comprises a first support base and a second slide rail extending in the first direction on the first support base, and each of the followers is provided with a second slider that is disposed slidably on the second slide rail in the first direction.
7 . The adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein the power assembly comprises a transmission structure and a linkage structure, and the linkage structure is connected between the transmission structure and the bearing and drives the bearing to move in the first direction.
8 . The adjusting device according to claim 7 , wherein the power assembly further comprises a second support base secured on the corresponding follower, the transmission structure is rotatably disposed on the second support base, and the linkage structure functions to convert rotational movement of the transmission structure into linear movement of the bearing in the first direction.
9 . The adjusting device according to claim 7 , wherein the power assembly further comprises a power structure, the transmission structure comprises an eccentric shaft and a follower wheel, one end of the eccentric shaft is in transmission connection with the power structure, and the follower wheel is disposed at the other end of the eccentric shaft; and
one end of the linkage structure is fixedly connected to the bearing, with the other end sleeving over the follower wheel, and the linkage structure is capable of moving linearly in the first direction under the action of an eccentric force of the follower wheel.
10 . The adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device comprises at least two clampers disposed on the bearings in one-to-one correspondence, and each of the clampers has a clamping space for securing a structure to be adjusted.
11 . The adjusting device according to claim 10 , wherein each of the clampers comprises a first clamping structure and a second clamping structure that are movably disposed on the corresponding bearing in the first direction, and the clamping space is defined between the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure in the first direction.
12 . The adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device comprises a control assembly, and the control assembly is in communicative connection with the power assemblies and can control the power assemblies to be turned on or off.
13 . A packaging apparatus, comprising the adjusting device according to claim 1 and a packaging box, wherein the adjusting device functions to adjust a spacing between two adjacent structures to be adjusted, the packaging box is provided with a plurality of groups of receptacles, each group of receptacles comprises at least two receptacles disposed at intervals in the first direction, and the receptacles serve to hold the structures to be adjusted.
14 . The adjusting device according to claim 1 , wherein the each of the second adjusters further comprises a transmission structure and a linkage structure, and the power assembly is configured to drive the transmission structure to rotate, and the linkage structure is configured to convert rotational movement of the transmission structure into linear movement of the bearing in the first direction.
