Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feed production equipment, and in particular to a production line for a solid mixed feed additive. Background Technology

[0002] Solid feed additives are generally in powder form, with small, lightweight particles that easily disperse into the environment during production, leading to material waste and posing health risks to workers and environmental pollution. Traditional solid feed production lines typically operate in open spaces. For large packages, pre-mixed materials are first placed into a mixer, then fed into a hopper, followed by manual bagging, weighing, packing, and stacking. For small packages, packaging machines are used for repackaging, followed by manual boxing and palletizing. This process not only fails to address the issues of feed powder scattering and material waste during production but also results in low production efficiency, high labor costs, and compromised product quality.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0029] This invention provides a production line for a solid mixed feed additive. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0030] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational structure and operation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a production line for a solid mixed feed additive, comprising: a main power distribution box 1, and a sieving machine 2, a premixer 3, a final mixer 4, a bottle unscrambler 5, a filling machine 6, a capping machine 7, an aluminum foil sealing machine 8, a labeling machine 9, a case packing machine 10, and a first conveyor belt 11, all electrically connected to the main power distribution box 1; the premixer 3, the sieving machine 2, and the final mixer 4 are arranged sequentially, the filling machine 6, the capping machine 7, the aluminum foil sealing machine 8, the labeling machine 9, and the case packing machine 10 are connected sequentially via the first conveyor belt 11, and the final mixer 4 is positioned above the filling machine 6 and connected to the filling machine 6 via a first feeding screw 12.

[0032] The aforementioned production line achieves automated production of solid feed additives in a sealed environment, from mixing, filling, capping, sealing, labeling to boxing. This avoids contact between the product and the external environment, thus preventing any impact on its potency. It also reduces the product's dwell time during production, significantly minimizing the impact of production processes on the product and improving product quality and production efficiency. The first feeding screw 12 improves the stability of material transfer between the main mixer 6.31 and the filling machine 6, ensuring a continuous and effective filling process. Preferably, a dust collector 13 is also provided above the sieving machine 2 to prevent powder dispersion during the sieving and impurity removal process.

[0033] In one embodiment, the mixer 4 is equipped with two mixing screws 4.1 of different lengths. The two mixing screws 4.1 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the mixer 4 to ensure stable material feeding inside the mixer 4, prevent material from clumping inside the mixer 4, and prevent material from adhering to the inner wall of the mixer 4, which could lead to long-term accumulation and affect product quality. The different lengths fit the shape of the mixer 4, and the two mixing screws 4.1 will not collide with each other.

[0034] A first photoelectric sensor (not shown in the figure) and a second photoelectric sensor (not shown in the figure) are respectively installed on the first conveyor belt 11 between the bottle unscrambler 5 and the filling machine 6, and between the filling machine 6 and the capping machine 7. The first photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the bottle unscrambler 5 and is used to control the start and stop of the bottle unscrambler 5; when downstream bottle blockage is detected, the bottle unscrambler 5 is controlled to shut down. The second photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the filling machine 6 and is used to control the start and stop of the filling machine 6; when downstream bottle blockage is detected, the filling machine 6 is controlled to shut down. The first and second photoelectric sensors improve the coordination between the bottle unscrambler 5 and the filling machine 6, and between the filling machine 6 and the bottle unscrambler 5.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the premixer 3 is connected to the sieving machine 2 via the second feeding screw 14, and the sieving machine 2 is connected to the final mixer 4 via the third feeding screw 15. This improves the sealing of the product conveying process, prevents material scattering, and enhances the stability of material conveying between the premixer 3 and the sieving machine 2, and between the sieving machine 2 and the final mixer 4.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and 3 Specifically, the bottle unscrambler 5 includes a first mounting frame 5.1, a bottle loading component 5.2, a turntable 5.3, a bottle rejection component 5.4, a bottle unscrambler component 5.5, and a bottle inversion rejection component 5.6 arranged sequentially on the first mounting frame 5.1 along the bottle conveying direction, and a first electrical control box 5.7 fixed on the first mounting frame 5.1; the bottle rejection component 5.4 is located at the discharge port of the turntable 5.3, the discharge port of the turntable 5.3 is connected to one end of the bottle unscrambler component 5.5, the other end of the bottle unscrambler component 5.5 is connected to the first conveyor belt 11, the bottle inversion rejection component 5.6 is located on the first conveyor belt 11 downstream of the bottle unscrambler component 5.5, and the bottle loading component 5.2, the turntable 5.3, the bottle rejection component 5.4, the bottle unscrambler component 5.5, and the bottle inversion rejection component 5.6 are electrically connected to the first electrical control box 5.7.

[0037] During production, a large number of randomly arranged bottles are fed into a turntable 5.3 via the bottle loading component 5.2. The turntable 5.3 rotates at high speed, guiding the bottles to its outer edge through centrifugal force. Then, the bottles are orderly fed into the bottle sorting component 5.5 via the bottle rejection component 5.4. The bottle sorting component 5.5 vertically conveys the bottles to the first conveyor belt 11. When the bottles pass through the bottle inversion rejection component 5.6, any bottles that are not placed vertically are recycled back to the bottle loading component 5.2 for reuse. The various components of the bottle sorting machine 5 work in coordination and are connected to the main power distribution box 1 via the first electrical control box 5.7, which provides unified control. In practical applications, the turntable 5.3 can adjust its engagement width by adjusting the number of internal belts to accommodate the conveying requirements of bottles of different types and sizes. The turntable 5.3 is connected to a drive motor, the speed of which can be adjusted via the first electrical control box 5.7.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottle unscrambler 5 also includes a fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8 for detecting the number of bottles in the turntable 5.3. The fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8 is electrically connected to the first electrical control box 5.7. A reflector is mounted on the inner wall of the turntable 5.3 in the direction of the light source emission of the fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8 to facilitate signal reception by the fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8. The response time of the fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8 is coordinated with the rotation speed of the turntable 5.3 and the bottle loading speed of the bottle loading component 5.2 through the first electrical control box 5.7 to ensure that the bottles can enter the bottle unscrambler 5.5 evenly. When the bottles accumulate in the turntable 5.3 to the sensing range of the fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8, the number of bottles reaches the maximum value of the turntable 5.3, and the bottle loading component 5.2 will stop loading bottles until the bottles in the turntable 5.3 are no longer within the sensing range of the fourth photoelectric sensor 5.8, at which point the bottle loading component 5.2 will restart.

[0039] Furthermore, a fifth photoelectric sensor 5.9 is provided at the connection between the bottle-sorting component 5.5 and the first conveyor belt 11 to detect bottles in the first conveyor belt 11. When bottles on the first conveyor belt 11 accumulate to the connection between the bottle-sorting component 5.5 and the first conveyor belt 11, the bottle-sorting component 5.5 stops sorting bottles to prevent excessive accumulation of bottles until the fifth photoelectric sensor 5.9 no longer continuously detects bottles, at which point the bottle-sorting component 5.5 restarts.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottle rejection component 5.6 is equipped with two sixth photoelectric sensors 5.10 at different installation heights. The installation height of the sixth photoelectric sensors 5.10 can be adjusted according to the height of the bottle. One sixth photoelectric sensor 5.10 is installed at a height no higher than the height of the bottle when it is laid horizontally, while the other is installed at a height higher than the height of the bottle when it is laid horizontally, but no higher than the height of the bottle when it is placed vertically. When both sixth photoelectric sensors 5.10 at different installation heights detect a signal, the bottle passes smoothly. When only the sixth photoelectric sensor 5.10 at the lower installation height detects a signal, the bottle rejection component 5.4 blows the bottle into the bottle loading component 5.2 by blowing air, and the bottle loading and sorting are restarted to avoid affecting the downstream filling process. All the above photoelectric sensors work in coordination through the first electrical control box 5.7, ensuring precise control.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 and 5 The filling machine 6 includes a second mounting frame 6.1, a second conveyor belt 6.2, a feeding component 6.3, a feeding lifting component 6.4, a bottle-blocking component 6.5, a dust removal system (not shown in the figure), and a second electrical control box 6.6, all mounted on the second mounting frame 6.1. The two ends of the second conveyor belt 6.2 are respectively connected to the first conveyor belt 11. The feeding component 6.3 is positioned above the second conveyor belt 6.2, and its feeding end is connected to the dust removal system via a pipe. The feeding lifting component 6.4 is fixed to the second mounting frame 6.1 and is used to adjust the height of the feeding component 6.3 to accommodate bottles of different heights. The bottle-blocking component 6.5 is positioned on one side of the second conveyor belt 6.2 and is used to fix the bottle to be filled during filling by the feeding component 6.3, ensuring that the bottle mouth is aligned with the filling head 6.35 of the feeding component 6.3, preventing material spillage that could affect product quality and contaminate the equipment. The second conveyor belt 6.2, the feeding component 6.3, the bottle-blocking component 6.5, and the dust removal system are electrically connected to the second electrical control box 6.6.

[0042] The feeding component 6.3 includes several feeding units, each including a hopper 6.31, a feeding motor 6.32, a stirring motor 6.310, a fourth feeding screw 6.33, a stirring mechanism 6.34, a filling head 6.35, and a dust collector 6.36. The top of the hopper 6.31 has a feeding inlet, which is connected to the feeding device via a pipe. In this embodiment, the connecting pipe is a flexible hose, which is low-cost and easy to replace. The feeding motor 6.32 and the stirring motor 6.310 are both located on the top of the hopper 6.31 and are electrically connected to the second electrical control box 6.6. Specifically, both the feeding motor 6.32 and the stirring motor 6.310 are servo motors. The fourth feeding screw 6.33 and the stirring mechanism 6.34 are installed inside the hopper 6.31. The upper end of the fourth feeding screw 6.33 is connected to the feeding motor 6.32, and the lower end of the fourth feeding screw 6.33 extends into the filling head 6.35, improving the stability of feeding. The upper end of the stirring mechanism 6.34 is connected to the stirring motor 6.310, and rotates continuously with the stirring motor 6.310 during equipment operation to turn the material and prevent it from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper 6.31. The upper end of the filling head 6.35 is connected to the lower end of the hopper 6.31, and a leak-proof block is screwed to its lower end. The leak-proof block is annular, and its inner wall is screwed to the outer wall of the filling nozzle 6.35 to prevent powder leakage during filling and thus prevent unstable filling volume. In this embodiment, the filling head 6.35 is fixed to the lower end of the hopper 6.31 by a clip, which is easy to disassemble and assemble. Furthermore, the filling head 6.35 is connected to the second electrical control box 6.6, which controls the material feeding to achieve precise feeding. The dust hood 6.36 is fixed on the frame, fitted over the filling head 6.35, and connected to the dust removal system. Its inner wall is adapted to the outer wall of the filling head 6.35, which can quickly remove dust generated during filling and avoid dust contamination of the equipment. It also reduces the contact time between the product and the outside air, preventing the reduction of the potency of the active ingredients in the product.

[0043] In one embodiment, the top of the hopper 6.31 is further provided with an exhaust pipe 6.37, the other end of which is connected to an air bladder 6.38 for balancing the air pressure inside the hopper 6.31, thus preventing the gas in the hopper 6.31 from carrying dust generated in the hopper 6.31 out of the feeding component 6.3. When material enters the hopper 6.31, the air in the hopper 6.31 is discharged to the air bladder 6.38 through the exhaust pipe 6.37; when the material in the hopper 6.31 decreases, the air in the air bladder 6.38 flows back into the hopper 6.31, maintaining the air pressure inside the hopper 6.31 in a balanced state. In this embodiment, the air bladder 6.38 is made of a soft elastic material and is in a contracted state when not in operation.

[0044] Furthermore, the feeding component 6.3 also includes a vibrator 6.39, which is connected to the outer wall of the dust collector 6.36 to shake off the dust on the inner wall of the dust collector 6.36 and prevent dust accumulation; it also helps the hopper 6.31 to feed materials.

[0045] Please see Figure 6-8 The capping machine 7 includes a third mounting frame 7.1, a third conveyor belt 7.2, a cap feeding component 7.3, a capping component 7.4, a nitrogen filling component 7.5, and a third electrical control box 7.6, all mounted on the third mounting frame 7.1. The cap feeding component 7.3 and the capping component 7.4 are arranged sequentially. The nitrogen filling component 7.5 is located upstream of the capping area of ​​the capping component 7.4 and is connected to a nitrogen source via a hose. A third photoelectric sensor 7.7 is also located upstream of the nitrogen filling component 7.5, which is positioned directly opposite the center of the capping star wheel 7.41 and is used to detect whether there is a bottle in the capping station 7.41a of the rotated capping star wheel 7.41. The third conveyor belt 7.2, the cap feeding component 7.3, the capping component 7.4, the nitrogen filling component 7.5, and the third photoelectric sensor 7.7 are electrically connected to the third electrical control box 7.6 and are controlled as a whole by the third electrical control box 7.6. The third electrical control box 7.6 is externally connected to the main power distribution box 1. When the device is in operation, bottles to be capped are conveyed from the third conveyor belt 7.2 to the capping component 7.4. When the third photoelectric sensor 7.7 detects a bottle at the capping station 7.41a of the rotating capping star wheel 7.41, the nitrogen filling component 7.5 fills the bottle with nitrogen gas, and the cap feeding component 7.3 conveys the cap to the capping component 7.4. The capping component 7.4 then places the grasped cap onto the bottle, performs the capping operation, and then the bottle re-enters the third conveyor belt 7.2. If the third photoelectric sensor 7.7 does not detect a bottle passing through, the nitrogen filling component 7.5 does not fill with nitrogen, and the cap feeding component 7.3 does not convey the cap to the capping component 7.4. The nitrogen filling component 7.5 automatically fills the bottle with nitrogen gas before capping, reducing the air content inside the bottle, thereby reducing the impact of air inside the bottle on the product and extending the product's shelf life. Controlling cap picking, nitrogen filling, and capping with the third photoelectric sensor improves control accuracy.

[0046] Specifically, the capping component 7.4 includes a capping star wheel 7.41, a bottle protection ring 7.42, a capping motor 7.43, a capping arm 7.44, and a capping arm lifting frame 7.45. The capping star wheel 7.41 is positioned above the third conveyor belt 7.2, with a rotating shaft at its center. The rotating shaft is connected to a drive motor, which drives the capping star wheel 7.41 to rotate. In this embodiment, the capping star wheel 7.41 rotates clockwise. The bottle protection ring 7.42 is semi-circular and is positioned on the outer circumference of the capping star wheel 7.41, coaxially arranged with the capping star wheel 7.41, extending from the bottle inlet end to the bottle outlet end of the capping star wheel 7.41. It protects the bottle in the capping star wheel 7.41, preventing the bottle from tipping over as it rotates with the capping star wheel 7.41. Preferably, the distance between the bottle guard ring 7.42 and the capping star wheel 7.41 is adjustable to accommodate bottles of different sizes and improve its applicability. The capping arm 7.44 lifting frame is located on one side of the capping star wheel 7.41 and fixed to the third mounting bracket 7.1. The capping motor 7.43 is connected to the capping arm 7.44 via a drive mechanism. The capping arm 7.44 is positioned above the capping star wheel 7.41 and can move up and down to perform cap gripping and capping operations. The capping arm 7.44 lifting frame is used to adjust the horizontal height of the capping arm 7.44 to meet the capping requirements of bottles of different heights.

[0047] Furthermore, the capping component 7.4 also includes a positioning stop 7.46, which is located below the capping arm 7.44 and outside the capping area, for fixing the bottle during the capping process. The positioning stop 7.46 is a cylinder, and its side in contact with the bottle is a concave arc surface that matches the curvature of the bottle, making the bottle more stable. When the bottle is capped, the positioning stop 7.46 extends and contacts the bottle, the capping arm 7.44 descends to perform the capping, and after the capping is completed, the capping arm 7.44 rises, and the positioning stop 7.46 retracts and returns to its original position.

[0048] More specifically, the capping star wheel 7.41 has several capping stations 7.41a circumferentially arranged around its edge. The inner diameter of each capping station 7.41a is generally larger than the outer diameter of the bottle. There is a certain interval between each capping station 7.41a to provide sufficient time for capping.

[0049] Preferably, the capping stations 7.41a are equidistantly arranged to simplify the control program and make the device operate more stably.

[0050] Furthermore, the capping machine 7 also includes a bottle-pulling cylinder 7.8, which is located on the outside of the third conveyor belt 7.2 and at the bottle outlet end of the capping star wheel 7.41. Its free end is lower than the bottom of the capping star wheel 7.41 and is used to pull out irregularly shaped bottles stuck in the capping station 7.41a.

[0051] Specifically, the cap feeding component 7.3 includes a cap sorting unit 7.31, a cap feeding track 7.32, a cap feeding lever 7.33, and a cap feeding guide block 7.34. The cap feeding track 7.32 is connected at both ends to the cap sorting unit 7.31 and the cap feeding guide block 7.33, respectively. Driven by a motor, the cap sorting unit 7.31 vibrates to orderly feed disordered bottle caps into the cap feeding track 7.32. The cap feeding lever 7.33 is positioned below the cap feeding guide block 7.34, between the end of the cap feeding track 7.32 and the capping arm 7.44, and is used to transfer bottle caps from the end of the cap feeding track 7.32 to the capping arm 7.44. The cap feeding guide block 7.34 is positioned above the cap conveying trajectory. Its sidewalls along its length are curved, and its upper and lower surfaces are adapted to the cap feeding trajectory of the cap feeding swing rod 7.33. When the cap feeding swing rod 7.33 feeds the cap, it supports the cap, and the cap feeding guide block 7.34 is located above the cap conveying trajectory, contacting or slightly above the upper end of the cap, ensuring the stability of the cap during the conveying process. Furthermore, the cap feeding component 3 also includes an automatic cap-feeding unit (not shown in the figure), which has an automatic cap shortage alarm function, improving the automation level of the device.

[0052] Please see Figure 9 The aluminum foil sealing machine 8 includes a fourth electrical control box 8.1, a heating sensor 8.2, a height adjustment mechanism 8.3, and a liquid cooling component 8.4. The liquid cooling component 8.4 is connected to the heating sensor 8.2 via a pipeline and is used to cool the heating sensor 8.2. The height adjustment mechanism 8.3 is connected to the heating sensor 8.2 and is used to control the lifting and lowering of the heating sensor 8.2. The heating sensor 8.2 is located directly above the first conveyor belt 11. The fourth electrical control box 8.1 is electrically connected to both the liquid cooling component 8.4 and the heating sensor 8.2.

[0053] The fourth electrical control box 8.1 includes a PLL circuit for simultaneously integrating data collected by the liquid cooling component 8.4 and the heating sensor 8.2, providing high real-time performance and improving the accuracy of the sealing machine control. The fourth electrical control box 8.1 is equipped with a fan 8.5 to cool the components within it. The heating sensor 8.2 is cooled by the liquid cooling component 8.4; the low-temperature coolant allows for rapid cooling of the heating sensor 8.2, protecting its components. In this embodiment, the heating sensor 8.2 is cooled by the circulating water of the liquid cooling component 8.4. Both the fourth electrical control box 8.1 and the heating sensor 8.2 contain at least one temperature sensor. When the actual temperature measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset safety threshold, the fourth electrical control box 8.1 alarms and shuts down the equipment for self-protection. Preferably, the fourth electrical control box 8.1 also includes a display screen and indicator lights to show the operating status of the equipment, including working indicator lights, fault indicator lights, overheat indicator lights, and water shortage indicator lights. This allows production personnel to more intuitively understand the working status of the aluminum foil sealing machine 8. Furthermore, the fourth electrical control box 8.1 also includes a memory function, automatically outputting the output voltage from the last shutdown when the machine is turned on again, avoiding the tedious process of resetting operating parameters.

[0054] Preferably, the first conveyor belt 11 is screwed with stop bars 8.6 on both sides, and the distance between the stop bars 8.6 on both sides can be adjusted to limit the conveying route of the bottle to be sealed, so that the center line of the bottom surface of the heating sensor 8.2 coincides with the center line of the bottle passing by, and the height is adjusted to be slightly higher than the height of bottle a to ensure the sealing effect, so that bottle a is automatically sealed after passing the heating sensor 8.2.

[0055] In one embodiment, the bottom of the heating sensor 8.2 is provided with a groove 8.21. The groove 8.21 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying component, and its two ends are flush with the side surface of the heating sensor 8.2. The groove 8.21 is arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 11, and its two ends are flush with the side surface of the heating sensor 8.2. The depth of the groove 8.21 is greater than the height of the bottle cap, and the groove width is greater than the outer diameter of the bottle cap. By adjusting the height of the heating sensor 8.2, the bottle cap passing through is completely placed in the groove 8.21, thereby increasing the heating area of ​​the bottle cap and improving its sealing effect.

[0056] Of course, the aluminum foil sealing machine 8 is also suitable for sealing bottles with caps whose outer diameter is larger than the groove width of the groove 8.21. In this case, the height of the heating sensor 8.2 is adjusted so that the bottom of the heating sensor 8.2 is slightly higher than the height of the cap, and the cap is aligned with the groove 8.21.

[0057] Preferably, the aluminum foil sealing machine also has a photoelectric sensor located behind the heating sensor 8.2. The photoelectric sensor comprises two sensors spaced apart in sequence and is used to detect whether bottle blockage has occurred. During normal operation, the two photoelectric sensors will not detect bottles simultaneously. If both sensors detect a bottle at the same time, it is determined to be a blockage, the fourth electrical control box 8.1 will sound an alarm and automatically shut down the machine to prevent a fire caused by prolonged heating of the bottle.

[0058] Please see Figure 10 Specifically, the labeling machine 9 includes a fourth mounting frame 9.1, a fourth conveyor belt 9.2, a fifth electrical control box 9.3, and a labeling unit 9.4 mounted on the fourth mounting frame 9.1. It also includes a bottle-separating unit 9.5 and a bottle-supporting unit 9.6 arranged sequentially along the fourth conveyor belt 9.2. The two ends of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2 are respectively connected to the first conveyor belt 11. The labeling unit 9.4 is located downstream of the bottle-supporting unit 9.6. The bottle-separating unit 9.5 includes a left rotating wheel 9.51 and a right rotating wheel 9.52 respectively located on both sides of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2 to increase the distance between bottles, and a first driving mechanism 9.53 to drive the left rotating wheel 9.51 and the right rotating wheel 9.52. The bottle-supporting unit 9.6 includes a left bottle-supporting belt 9.61 and a right bottle-supporting belt 9.62 respectively located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 11 to correct the bottle conveying angle, and a second driving mechanism 9.63 to drive the left bottle-supporting belt 9.61 and the right bottle-supporting belt 9.62.

[0059] In this embodiment, the left and right rotating wheels 9.51 and 9.52 are screwed to the side wall of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2 via connecting rods. The distance between them can be adjusted according to the size of the bottle to be labeled, so that they just contact the side wall of the bottle. The rotation direction of the left and right rotating wheels 9.51 and 9.52 is the same as the conveying direction of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2, and their speed can be controlled by the fifth electrical control box 9.3. In this embodiment, the speed of the left and right rotating wheels 9.51 and 9.52 is slower than that of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2, which initially widens the distance between the bottles, ensuring that the downstream labeling unit 9.4 has sufficient labeling time. The bottle is an oval bottle, and the distance between the left and right rotating wheels 9.51 and 9.52 is adjusted so that the narrower side of the bottle can pass through, ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent labeling position.

[0060] The left and right bottle-supporting belts 9.61 and 9.62 are screwed to the side walls of the fourth transmission belt, respectively. The distance between them can be adjusted according to the bottle size, ensuring that their inner walls contact the larger side walls of the bottle. This corrects the conveying path and orientation of bottles that may have deviated after passing through the bottle-separating unit 9.5, guaranteeing accurate labeling. The conveying direction of the left and right bottle-supporting belts 9.61 and 9.62 is the same as that of the fourth transmission belt 9.2, which to some extent speeds up the bottle conveying speed and increases the distance between bottles, allowing sufficient time for labeling.

[0061] The bottle-separating unit 9.5 and the bottle-supporting unit 9.6 are each controlled by a separate stepless frequency conversion speed-regulating motor, and each motor is controlled uniformly through the fifth electrical control box 9.3, which improves the controllability of labeling quality and provides high flexibility.

[0062] Furthermore, the labeling unit 9.4 includes two label-scraping plates 9.41, which are symmetrically arranged on the fourth conveyor belt 9.2 and fixed to the side wall of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2 by a first fixing seat, rotatably connected to the first fixing seat, with their free ends inclined towards the conveying direction of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2. The two label-scraping plates 9.41 work together to ensure that both sides of the label can be completely adhered to the bottle body.

[0063] Furthermore, the labeling machine 9 also includes a label brushing unit, located downstream of the label scraper 9.41, comprising brushes 9.7 respectively positioned on both sides of the fourth conveyor belt 9.2. In this embodiment, the two brushes 9.7 are staggered to further brush the label toward the bottle wall, improving the adhesion between the label and the bottle body.

[0064] The labeling unit 9.4 also includes a photoelectric sensor 9.42, which is located in front of the labeling plate and is used to detect whether a bottle has reached the label scraper 9.41. The photoelectric sensor 9.42 is also connected to the fifth electrical control box 9.3, systematically connecting the label dispensing and labeling systems to ensure smooth labeling. The photoelectric sensor 9.42 has a double-layer noise cancellation function, is not affected by external light or ultrasonic noise, and has accurate detection, ensuring precise and error-free labeling.
