The invention discloses a novel feeder. The
bottle feeder comprises a
bottle feeding
conveyor belt, longitudinal partition boards, a
bottle pressing mechanism, a plurality of rows of transverse spacing mechanisms and a bottle suction mechanical arm
assembly. The transverse spacing mechanisms are located at the
tail ends of the bottle feeding
conveyor belt and is an independent mechanism which is arranged under a suction cup mechanical arm. Compared with feeders in the prior art, the bottle feeder has the following advantages that under the action of suction heads, there is no need to worry that bottles can move without being limited at a high speed during spacing; the spacing distance is controlled through buckles; bottle feeder is very accurate in spacing, is free from the influence of spacing of intervals of large sizes, is high in speed and modularized in spacing mechanism, the mechanical arm has a single action and is not responsible for bottle
insertion and spacing actions; maintenance is single, a plurality of rows of bottles can be spaced simultaneously; on one hand, the occupied area of
automation equipment is reduced, and on the other hand, as a result of modularization of the spacing mechanisms, the stability of the
machine is improved, the overall speed of the
automation equipment is increased, and the
bottleneck constraint of the speed of
penicillin bottle equipment in the industry is broken.
