The equidistance bottle separating method comprises the following steps: S1: the product position detection mechanism detects that a product leaves the first conveying mechanism, and the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism stop running; S2: the third conveying mechanism runs for a set time length or a set distance, the second conveying mechanism is started, and the first conveying mechanism is started again when the product is located at the end of the second conveying mechanism or after the product leaves the second conveying mechanism. The equidistance bottle separating method has the advantages that bottles can be separated and conveyed at equal intervals.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food and pharmaceutical packaging machinery and equipment, and in particular to a method for equally spaced bottle separation. Background Technology

[0002] Existing differential bottle separation control methods generally use a three-section differential conveyor belt, which separates the bottles by conveying the belt at increasingly faster speeds. However, the bottles at the inlet may be continuous or intermittent, so the spacing between the bottles is inconsistent after differential separation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an equidistant bottle-splitting method that can separate bottles and transport them at equal intervals.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for equally spaced bottle separation employs an equally spaced bottle separation device. The device includes a first conveying mechanism, a second conveying mechanism, a third conveying mechanism, and a product position detection mechanism sequentially connected. The third conveying mechanism has multiple spaced product detection mechanisms arranged along the conveying direction. The product position detection mechanisms are used to detect whether there is a product at the connection point between the first and second conveying mechanisms. Both the first and second conveying mechanisms are signal-connected to the product position detection mechanisms. The equally spaced bottle separation method includes the following steps:

[0006] S1: The product position detection mechanism detects that the product has left the first conveyor mechanism, and the first and second conveyors stop operating;

[0007] S2: When the third conveyor operates for a set time or a set distance, the second conveyor starts. When the product is at the end of the second conveyor or leaves the second conveyor, the first conveyor starts again.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0009] During the process of the product moving from the first conveying mechanism to the second conveying mechanism, both the first and second conveying mechanisms operate at a speed of P1.

[0010] During the process of the product moving from the second conveyor mechanism to the third conveyor mechanism, both the second and third conveyor mechanisms operate at a speed of P3.

[0011] P3=P1.

[0012] In step S2, the second conveying mechanism first runs at speed P2, then at speed P3, where P2 > P1.

[0013] The P2 = 2P1.

[0014] The first conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism, and the third conveying mechanism are all belt clamping conveying mechanisms.

[0015] The applicable products are multi-pack ampoules.

[0016] The equidistant bottle-splitting device also includes a control module, and the first conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism, and the product position detection mechanism are all signal-connected to the control module.

[0017] The third conveying mechanism is connected to the control module via signal.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] In the equidistant bottle-splitting method of the present invention, a product position detection mechanism detects when a product leaves the first conveying mechanism. The first and second conveying mechanisms then stop operating, while the third conveying mechanism operates for a set time or a set distance. The second conveying mechanism then restarts. In other words, after the third conveying mechanism has pulled the product apart by a certain distance (the distance corresponding to the set operating time or distance), the product is fed again, ensuring equidistant transport of the products on the third conveying mechanism. Furthermore, the first conveying mechanism restarts when the product is at the end of the second conveying mechanism or after it has left. On the one hand, in a single transport process, the second conveying mechanism starts first, followed by the first, achieving the effect of equidistant transport. On the other hand, it ensures that the second conveying mechanism transports only one product at a time, thus ensuring that the third conveying mechanism carries one product at a time, ensuring equidistant transport of the products on the third conveying mechanism. This equidistant bottle-splitting method can separate bottles and transport them at equal intervals, ensuring that the distance between bottles is the same. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Figures 1 to 3 This illustration shows an embodiment of the equidistant bottle-splitting method of the present invention. This embodiment employs an equidistant bottle-splitting device, which includes a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, a third conveying mechanism 3, and a product position detection mechanism 4, sequentially connected. The third conveying mechanism 3 has multiple product detection mechanisms 5 arranged at intervals along the conveying direction. The product position detection mechanisms 4 are used to detect whether there is product at the connection point between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. Both the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are signal-connected to the product position detection mechanism 4. The equidistant bottle-splitting method includes the following steps:

[0030] S1: The product position detection mechanism 4 detects that the product has left the first conveyor mechanism 1, and the first conveyor mechanism 1 and the second conveyor mechanism 2 stop operating;

[0031] S2: When the third conveyor 3 runs for a set time or a set distance, the second conveyor 2 starts. When the product is at the end of the second conveyor 2 or leaves the second conveyor 2, the first conveyor 1 starts again.

[0032] In this equidistant bottle-splitting method, the product position detection mechanism 4 detects when a product leaves the first conveyor mechanism 1. The first and second conveyor mechanisms 1 and 2 stop operating, while the third conveyor mechanism 3 runs for a set time or a set distance. Then, the second conveyor mechanism 2 restarts. In other words, after the third conveyor mechanism 3 has pulled the products apart by a certain distance (the distance corresponding to the set running time or distance), the product is fed again, ensuring equidistant transport of products on the third conveyor mechanism 3. Furthermore, the first conveyor mechanism 1 restarts when the product is at the end of the second conveyor mechanism 2 or after it has left. On one hand, in a single transport process, the second conveyor mechanism 2 starts first, followed by the first conveyor mechanism 1, achieving the separation effect. On the other hand, it ensures that the second conveyor mechanism 2 transports only one product at a time, thus ensuring that the third conveyor mechanism 3 carries only one product at a time, ensuring equidistant transport of products on the third conveyor mechanism 3. This equidistant bottle-splitting method can separate bottles and transport them at equal intervals, ensuring that the distance between bottles is the same.

[0033] In this embodiment, during the process of the product moving from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2, both the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 operate at a speed P1. That is, when the second conveying mechanism 2 receives the product at the end of the first conveying mechanism 1, its speed is the same as that of the first conveying mechanism 1, achieving a smooth receiving effect and avoiding damage caused by friction between the bottle and the conveying mechanism due to speed differences.

[0034] In this embodiment, during the process of the product moving from the second conveying mechanism 2 to the third conveying mechanism 3, both the second conveying mechanism 2 and the third conveying mechanism 3 operate at a speed of P3. Similarly, when the third conveying mechanism 3 receives the product at the end of the second conveying mechanism 2, its speed is the same as that of the second conveying mechanism 2, achieving a smooth receiving effect and avoiding damage caused by friction between the bottle and the conveying mechanism due to speed differences.

[0035] In this embodiment, P3 = P1. This facilitates control.

[0036] In this embodiment, in step S2, the second conveying mechanism 2 first runs at speed P2, then at speed P3, where P2 > P1. That is, the second conveying mechanism 2 first receives material at speed P1 (feeding), then feeds material at speed P2, and finally discharges material at speed P3. Since P2 > P1, the conveying efficiency is improved. Preferably, P2 = 2P1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the third conveying mechanism 3 are all belt-driven clamping conveying mechanisms. This equidistant bottle-separating method is applicable to products such as ampoules arranged in rows.

[0038] In this embodiment, the equidistant bottle-splitting device also includes a control module. The first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the product position detection mechanism 4 are all signal-connected to the control module. Furthermore, the third conveying mechanism 3 is also signal-connected to the control module. The operation of the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the third conveying mechanism 3 is controlled by the product position detection mechanism 4 and the control module, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0039] Product testing agency 5 is used to test product quality. The specific testing functions of product testing agency 5 can be different, such as testing whether there are impurities on the inner wall or whether the shape meets the standards.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Figure 4 Another embodiment of the equidistant bottle-dividing method of the present invention is shown. The equidistant bottle-dividing method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0042] Equipment ready;

[0043] The equipment starts up and runs, with each conveyor mechanism operating at a set speed P.

[0044] The product enters from the first end of the first conveying mechanism 1;

[0045] The front end of the product is sensed by the product position detection mechanism 4 at the end of the first conveying mechanism;

[0046] The product continues to be conveyed on the first conveyor 1 for a predetermined distance until the rear end of the product leaves the first conveyor 1. The first conveyor 1 and the second conveyor 2 stop operating, and the product stops being conveyed.

[0047] The third conveyor 3 operates for a set time or a set distance, the first conveyor 1 remains stationary, and the second conveyor 2 operates at a speed of 2P.

[0048] When the front end of the product reaches the end of the second conveyor 2, the second conveyor 2 decelerates to speed P, while the first conveyor 1 runs at speed P to receive the next product.

[0049] The product leaves the second conveyor 2 and is conveyed by the third conveyor 3 at a speed P.

[0050] While the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solutions of the present invention, or modify them into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the scope of the present invention, should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
