Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass bottle packaging, and particularly to an automatic packaging conveyor line for special-shaped glass bottles. Background Art

[0002] Before daily glass products are packaged, the finished products need to be transported from the annealing furnace to the packaging equipment. Among them, during the transportation of glass products on the conveyor line, quality inspection, sorting, etc. need to be carried out, and a certain batch of products on the conveyor line are transferred to the packaging equipment after a certain time interval.

[0003] In the production of glass bottles, non-cylindrical glass bottles are customarily called special-shaped bottles. For special-shaped bottles, during the transportation and sorting on the conveyor line, due to the mutual extrusion of a large number of products, it is easy to cause the center of gravity of the special-shaped bottles to be unstable and the phenomenon of bottle toppling occurs. After the special-shaped bottles topple, special personnel are required to hold and place the bottles. Therefore, the bottle toppling phenomenon of special-shaped bottles not only reduces the packaging efficiency, but also increases the labor input.

[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, an embodiment of an automatic packaging and conveying line for special-shaped glass bottles provided by the present invention includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 provided on the frame 1, and a bottle pushing mechanism 3 and a guiding mechanism 4 arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2; the conveyor belt 2 includes a main conveyor belt 21 and a shunt conveyor belt 22, the shunt conveyor belt 22 is arranged parallel to one side of the output end of the main conveyor belt 21, and its conveying direction is the same as that of the main conveyor belt 21; the bottle pushing mechanism 3 is arranged on the other side of the output end of the main conveyor belt 21, and the bottle pushing mechanism 3 is used to push the special-shaped bottle A on the main conveyor belt 21 onto the shunt conveyor belt 22; the guiding mechanism 4 includes a plurality of groups of guiding plates 41, the guiding plates 41 are arranged above the shunt conveyor belt 22, and are used to partition a guiding channel 411 parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, a shunt conveyor belt 22 parallel and co-directional with the main conveyor belt 21 is arranged on one side of the main conveyor belt 21, and a bottle pushing mechanism 3 for pushing the special-shaped bottle A on the main conveyor belt 21 onto the shunt conveyor belt 22 is arranged on the other side of the main conveyor belt 21. The special-shaped bottles A are conveyed in rows through the guiding channels 411 partitioned by a plurality of groups of guiding plates 41 above the shunt conveyor belt 22, which improves the conveying efficiency; and because it is difficult to keep the conveying speeds of the main conveyor belt 21 and the shunt conveyor belt 22 synchronized, the special-shaped bottle A on the main conveyor belt 21 is pushed onto the shunt conveyor belt 22 by the bottle pushing mechanism 3. The special-shaped bottles A on the main conveyor belt 21 will not be crowded into the shunt conveyor belt 22 and cause unstable center of gravity. The special-shaped bottle A is further conveyed through the guiding channel 411 on the shunt conveyor belt 22, which can well avoid the problem of the special-shaped bottle A falling down.

[0033] For the convenience of subsequent filling or use, each glass bottle needs to keep the angular position as consistent as possible during the packaging process. Since the special-shaped bottle A is different from the ordinary glass bottle with a circular cross-section, it is necessary to adjust its angular position during the packaging and conveying process. Therefore, combined with Figure 3, in this embodiment, the guiding mechanism 4 further includes an angle adjustment component 42. The angle adjustment component 42 includes a driving motor 421 and a roller 422. A fixed seat is provided at the bottom of the driving motor 421, and the fixed seat is fixed to the guiding plate 41 by bolts. A vertical output shaft 423 is provided at the bottom of the driving motor 421. The output shaft 423 is connected to the roller 422 to drive the roller 422 to rotate. The roller 422 is used to drive the special-shaped bottle A to rotate and be arranged in the same direction for conveying. The angle adjustment component 42 is preferably arranged at one end of the guiding plate 41 close to the bottle pushing mechanism 3. The distance between the outer walls of adjacent rollers 422 is less than the length of the maximum cross-section of the special-shaped bottle A and is adapted to the width of the maximum cross-section of the special-shaped bottle A. When the special-shaped bottle A is conveyed forward on the diversion belt 22 and comes into contact with the roller 422, the special-shaped bottle A continues to maintain the trend of forward conveyance on the diversion belt 22 and rotates under the rotating action of the roller 422 to adjust the angle when the special-shaped bottle A enters the guiding channel 411. Only when the special-shaped bottle A is driven by adjacent two groups of rollers 422 to rotate until the length direction of the special-shaped bottle A is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, that is, after the angle adjustment is completed, can it enter the guiding channel 411. The special-shaped bottles A entering the guiding channel 411 are arranged at the same angle and continue to be smoothly conveyed.

[0034] The bottle pushing mechanism 3 of this embodiment includes a push plate 31 and a driving cylinder 32. One end of the push plate 31 away from the guiding plate 41 is hinged to the frame 1, and one end of the driving cylinder 32 is fixed to the frame 1, and the piston rod at the other end thereof is hinged to the push plate 31. Since the push plate 31 is hinged to the frame on one side of the main conveyor belt 21, the piston rod of the driving cylinder regularly extends to drive the push plate 31 to rotate around the hinge, and push the special-shaped bottles A continuously conveyed forward on the main conveyor belt 21 onto the diversion belt 22. The special-shaped bottles A originally arranged and conveyed on the main conveyor belt 21 are diverted to the diversion belt 22, and the special-shaped bottles A pushed onto the diversion belt 22 correspond to each guiding channel 411, that is, several special-shaped bottles A pushed by the push plate 31 each time are respectively conveyed by the diversion belt 22 into different guiding channels 411 to realize branch conveyance. During the process of the special-shaped bottle A transferring from the main conveyor belt 21 to the diversion belt 22, the push plate 31 plays a certain supporting role for the special-shaped bottle A and avoids the adjacent special-shaped bottles A from squeezing and pushing each other, avoiding the phenomenon of bottle toppling. To reduce the time difference for the special-shaped bottles A pushed by the push plate 31 to enter each guiding channel 411, the connection line of the adjacent guiding plates 41 close to the bottle pushing mechanism 3 forms an acute angle with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, which can make the distances for the special-shaped bottles A pushed by the push plate 31 to enter the guiding channel 411 closer, so that the number of special-shaped bottles A conveyed by each guiding channel 411 is close, which is convenient for batch transferring the special-shaped bottles A on the conveyor belt 2 to the packaging equipment and is beneficial to improving the subsequent packaging efficiency.

[0035] Combined with Figure 4 andFigure 5 , on one side of the input end of the main conveyor belt 21 of this embodiment, there is a connection table 5 and a bottle discharging belt 6. The connection table 5 is arranged at the outlet of the annealing furnace. The bottle discharging belt 6 is arranged in parallel with the main conveyor belt 21 and has a conveying direction opposite to that of the main conveyor belt 21. Between the connection table 5 and the bottle discharging belt 6, there is a bridge plate 7 inclined towards the bottle discharging belt 6. Above the bridge plate 7, there is a bottle blocking curtain 71. In this embodiment, the special-shaped bottles A on the connection table 5 push forward against each other from the outlet of the annealing furnace, pass through the bridge plate 7 and are pushed onto the bottle discharging belt 6. While continuing to push forward, they are conveyed along the conveying direction of the bottle discharging belt 6. Among them, the bottle blocking curtain 71 above the bridge plate 7 is used to contact the bottle mouths of the special-shaped bottles A, and when the special-shaped bottles A fall forward after passing through the bridge plate 7, it provides a certain support for the special-shaped bottles A to prevent them from falling down. To further reduce the phenomenon of bottles falling down, the width of the bridge plate 7 does not exceed 100 mm, and the bottle blocking curtain 71 is arranged on the side of the bridge plate 7 close to the bottle discharging belt 6. To ensure that the bottle blocking curtain 71 provides sufficient supporting force for the special-shaped bottles A without tripping the special-shaped bottles A, the ratio of the length of the contact surface between the bottle mouth of the special-shaped bottle A and the bottle blocking curtain 71 to the height of the special-shaped bottle A in this embodiment is preferably 1 / 20 - 1 / 8. In addition, there are bottle blocking plates 8 on the main conveyor belt 21 and the bottle discharging belt 6. When the special-shaped bottles A on the bottle discharging belt 6 contact the bottle blocking plates 8, they no longer continue to be conveyed in the conveying direction of the bottle discharging belt 6, and are pushed against each other in the width direction of the bottle discharging belt 6 and enter the input end of the main conveyor belt 21, and start to be conveyed in a single row on the main conveyor belt 21.

[0036] Combined with Figure 6 , since the special-shaped bottles A on the conveyor belt 2 need to be regularly transferred to the packaging equipment, within a short time of transferring to the packaging equipment, the guiding channels 411 may be filled with the special-shaped bottles A conveyed by the diversion belt 22. To avoid the phenomenon of multiple special-shaped bottles A pushing against each other and falling down, this embodiment also has a return belt 9. The return belt 9 is arranged in parallel with the diversion belt 22 and has a conveying direction opposite to that of the diversion belt 22, which can make the special-shaped bottles A that have not entered the guiding channels 411 on the diversion belt 22 push against each other onto the return belt 9; in addition, above the return belt 9, there is a return plate 91. The end of the return plate 91 extends to the diversion belt 22, so that the special-shaped bottles A on the return belt 9 push against each other at the return plate 91 and return to the diversion belt 22 and re-enter the guiding channels 411 for conveying.

[0037] In summary, implementing the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. The bottle pushing mechanism 3 and the guiding channels 411 are arranged on the conveyor belt 2, enabling the special-shaped bottles A to be conveyed in rows and avoiding the phenomenon of a large number of special-shaped bottles A pushing against each other on the conveyor belt 2 and falling down;

[0039] 2. An angle adjustment component 42 is provided at one end of the guiding plate 41 close to the bottle pushing mechanism 3 to keep the angular positions of the special-shaped bottles A passing through the guiding channel 411 consistent, facilitating the subsequent filling and use of the special-shaped bottles A.

[0040] 3. A return belt 9 and a return plate 91 are provided, which can push the special-shaped bottles A that have not entered the guiding channel 411 on the diversion belt 22 against each other onto the return belt 9, and push each other along the return plate 91 back to the diversion belt 22 to re-enter the guiding channel 411 for transportation, avoiding the phenomenon of the special-shaped bottles A falling over due to mutual pushing on the diversion belt 22.

[0041] 4. A bridging plate 7 is inclined between the connecting table 5 at the outlet of the annealing furnace and the bottle discharging belt 6, and a bottle blocking curtain 71 is provided above the bridging plate 7. The bottle blocking curtain 71 provides a certain support for the bottle mouths of the special-shaped bottles A, effectively preventing a large number of special-shaped bottles A on the connecting table 5 from being pushed against each other and falling over.

[0042] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
