Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage production technology, and in particular to a beverage bottle flipping system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Beverages are common drinks in our daily lives. Their production process is carefully designed and strictly implemented to ensure product quality and safety. Typically, beverages are mixed, sterilized, and cooled before being quantitatively filled, most commonly into bottles, and then sealed to ensure hygiene and safety. During packaging, the containers also need to be cleaned and disinfected. Furthermore, beverage bottles undergo quality inspection to observe the condition of raw materials, whether the bottles are sealed properly, and whether the contents meet standards, ensuring stable and controllable beverage quality.

[0003] Currently, most beverage production processes involve clamping and flipping beverage bottles during the production process, and this is done during the conveying stage after production. Firstly, clamping not only easily damages the beverage bottles, but also, the existing bottle flipping method is mainly used to use the residual heat of the beverage inside to sterilize the bottle cap. This makes it difficult to promptly sort out beverage bottles that have leaked, affecting production efficiency and increasing the workload of subsequent quality inspection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art that beverage bottles are easily damaged, it is difficult to sort out beverage bottles that have leaked in a timely manner, beverage production efficiency is low, and the workload of beverage bottle quality inspection is large. Therefore, a beverage bottle flipping system and method are proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A beverage bottle tipping system includes a base, a fixed limiting plate, and a movable limiting plate. It further includes: a linkage unit disposed on the fixed limiting plate; a conveying unit disposed on the base; the conveying unit driving the linkage unit to rotate; a tipping plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed limiting plate; the linkage unit driving the tipping plate to rotate intermittently; a detection and sorting unit disposed on the fixed limiting plate; the linkage unit driving the detection and sorting unit to rotate; and a buffer unit disposed between the detection and sorting unit and the tipping plate to buffer the tipping plate during its descent.

[0007] To facilitate control of the intermittent rotation and stability of the tilting plate, preferably, the linkage includes a drive gear and a first linkage wheel on the conveying section, a reversing gear and a sector gear on the side wall of the fixed limiting plate, and a second linkage wheel on the detection and sorting section. The drive gear and the reversing gear mesh with each other, the reversing gear and the sector gear mesh with each other, the sector gear is connected to the shaft end of the tilting plate, and a second belt is sleeved between the first linkage wheel and the second linkage wheel.

[0008] To reduce energy consumption during the beverage bottle flipping process and ensure the stability of the flipping, the conveying unit further includes a motor fixedly connected to the base. A conveying device is installed inside the base. One shaft end of the conveying device is connected to the output end of the motor. Another shaft end of the conveying device extends to the outside of the base and is fixedly connected to a drive wheel. A connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed limiting plate. The drive gear and the first linkage wheel are fixedly connected to the connecting shaft. A driven wheel is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft near the drive wheel. A first belt is sleeved between the driven wheel and the drive wheel.

[0009] To ensure stable conveying of beverage bottles after inversion and to detect leakage, the detection and sorting unit further includes two sets of mounting seats fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed limiting plate. The fixed limiting plate has a through hole on the side near the mounting seat, and a rotating roller is rotatably connected to the side of the mounting seat near the through hole. A mounting component is sleeved between the two sets of rotating rollers. Multiple positioning rods are fixedly connected to the side of the mounting component near the movable limiting plate. A liquid sensor is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting seat away from the inversion plate near the movable limiting plate. A support plate is fixedly connected to the side of the movable limiting plate near the fixed limiting plate. The support plate is located between the upper and lower positioning rods. The shaft end of the rotating roller near the inversion plate extends to the outside of the mounting seat and is connected to the shaft of the second linkage wheel.

[0010] To facilitate the timely sorting of beverage bottles that have leaked, the detection and sorting unit further includes a push plate mounted on a fixed limiting plate. The fixed limiting plate has a groove on the side near the movable limiting plate, and the push plate is rotatably connected inside the groove. A permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the side of the push plate near the groove, and an electromagnetic plate is fixedly connected to the side of the groove near the push plate. The electromagnetic plate is electrically connected to a liquid sensor, and when the electromagnetic plate is energized, the magnetism between the electromagnetic plate and the permanent magnet is the same.

[0011] To prevent the beverage bottle from falling through the mounting slot after being tipped over, a protective plate is further included on the movable limiting plate. The movable limiting plate has a mounting slot, and the protective plate is rotatably connected to the mounting slot. A sliding groove is formed on the side of the movable limiting plate near the mounting slot, and a locking rod is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. A second spring is fixedly connected between the locking rod and the sliding groove. An electromagnetic block is fixedly connected on the side of the sliding groove near the locking rod. The electromagnetic block is electrically connected to a liquid sensor. When the electromagnetic block is energized, there is a certain attraction between the electromagnetic block and the locking rod. A locking groove matching the locking rod is formed on the side of the protective plate near the sliding groove, and the side of the locking groove near the fixed limiting plate is inclined.

[0012] To reduce the impact between the tilting plate and the conveying equipment during rotation, the buffer part further includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the side of the fixed limiting plate near the movable limiting plate. A buffer plate and a compression plate are slidably connected inside the mounting plate. A first spring is fixedly connected between the buffer plate and the compression plate. The end of the buffer plate away from the compression plate is in contact with the tilting plate, and the end of the compression plate away from the buffer plate extends into the interior of the mounting part. The side of the compression plate opposite to the rotation direction of the mounting part is inclined.

[0013] To improve the applicability of beverage bottle conveying and flipping, preferably, it also includes a fixing plate fixedly connected to the base, the inner wall of the fixing plate being fixedly connected to multiple sets of support rods, the fixing limiting plate being fixedly connected to the end of the support rod away from the fixing plate, the base being fixedly connected to multiple sets of cylinders, and the movable limiting plate being fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder near the fixing limiting plate.

[0014] To ensure the stability of the beverage bottle during inversion, the inverting plate is further configured in an L-shape, with its bottom edge in contact with the surface of the conveying equipment, and the end of the inverting plate that moves in the opposite direction to the conveying equipment is inclined.

[0015] A method for flipping a beverage bottle flipping system further includes the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: First, start the cylinder according to the size of the beverage bottle to be produced, so that the distance between the fixed limit plate and the movable limit plate matches the size of the beverage bottle;

[0017] Step 2: After filling and sealing, the beverage bottles are intermittently conveyed to the conveyor section and conveyed along the fixed limit plate and the movable limit plate;

[0018] Step 3: As the beverage bottles are conveyed, they will move to the tilting plate. At the same time, the conveying unit drives the tilting plate to rotate intermittently through the linkage unit, turning the beverage bottles onto the detection and sorting unit.

[0019] Step 4: When the flip plate rotates back to its initial position, the buffer section cushions the flip plate.

[0020] Step 5: The linkage unit drives the detection and sorting unit to transport the overturned beverage bottles, detect them, and finally sort out the beverage bottles that have leaked.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a beverage bottle flipping system and method, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This beverage bottle flipping system transports filled, sealed, and sterilized beverage bottles through a conveying unit. At the same time, a linkage unit drives the flipping plate to rotate intermittently. When the beverage bottle moves onto the flipping plate, the flipping plate flips the beverage bottle onto the inspection and sorting unit. This is not only more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, but also reduces damage to the beverage bottle during the flipping process.

[0023] 2. This beverage bottle flipping system, through a linkage unit, can drive the detection and sorting unit to rotate, transport the flipped beverage bottles, detect any leakage, and sort out the bottles that are leaking, thereby reducing the workload of subsequent beverage bottle quality control and improving beverage production efficiency.

[0024] 3. This beverage bottle tipping system uses a buffer section to cushion the tipping plate during rotation. In addition, the detection and sorting section can adjust the distance between the buffer section and the tipping plate to further improve the cushioning effect of the tipping plate, reduce the impact between the tipping plate and the conveying equipment, and thus ensure the stability of the tipping plate operation.

[0025] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This invention can overcome the problems of easily damaging beverage bottles, difficulty in timely sorting out beverage bottles that have leaked, low beverage production efficiency, and a large workload for beverage bottle quality inspection.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0036] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Example

[0037] Reference Figures 1-8A beverage bottle tipping system includes a base 1, a fixed limiting plate 7, and a movable limiting plate 9. A bracket 2 is detachably connected to the bottom of the base 1, and the bracket 2 is fixed to the base 1 by bolts or other means. The system also includes: a linkage part 12 mounted on the fixed limiting plate 7; a conveying part mounted on the base 1; the conveying part driving the linkage part 12 to rotate; a tipping plate 15 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed limiting plate 7; the tipping plate 15 being L-shaped; the bottom of the tipping plate 15 being in contact with the surface of the conveying device 4; and the end of the tipping plate 15 moving in the opposite direction to the conveying device 4 being inclined; the linkage part 12 driving the tipping plate 15 to rotate intermittently; a detection and sorting part mounted on the fixed limiting plate 7; the linkage part 12 driving the detection and sorting part to rotate; and a buffer part between the detection and sorting part and the tipping plate 15 for cushioning the tipping plate 15 during its descent.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The linkage unit 12 includes a drive gear 121 and a first linkage wheel 124 disposed on the conveying unit, a reversing gear 122 and a sector gear 123 disposed on the side wall of the fixed limiting plate 7, and a second linkage wheel 125 disposed on the detection and sorting unit. The drive gear 121 and the reversing gear 122 mesh with each other, the reversing gear 122 and the sector gear 123 mesh with each other, the sector gear 123 is connected to the shaft end of the flip plate 15, and a second belt 126 is sleeved between the first linkage wheel 124 and the second linkage wheel 125.

[0039] During operation, the drive gear 121 rotates synchronously with the conveying device 4, with the drive gear 121 rotating in the same direction as the conveying device 4. Subsequently, the drive gear 121 drives the reversing gear 122 to rotate, with the reversing gear 122 rotating in the opposite direction to the drive gear 121. Then, the reversing gear 122 drives the sector gear 123 to rotate. That is, when the beverage bottle is conveyed onto the tilting plate 15, the sector gear 123 drives the tilting plate 15 to rotate, tilting the beverage bottle. When the sector gear 123 disengages from the reversing gear 122, the tilting plate 15 rotates to its initial position under its own gravity. At the same time, the reversing gear 122 disengages from the drive gear 121, but under inertia, the reversing gear 122 will continue to rotate. During this process, the sector gear 123 will rotate to its initial position. Subsequently, the reversing gear 122 will continue to mesh with the drive gear 121 and the sector gear 123, thus intermittently driving the tilting plate 15 to rotate, achieving the tilting of the beverage bottle. In this process, damage to the beverage bottle can be reduced.

[0040] Reference Figure 1The conveying unit includes a motor 3 fixedly connected to a base 1. A conveying device 4 is installed inside the base 1. One shaft end of the conveying device 4 is connected to the output end of the motor 3. Another shaft end of the conveying device 4 extends to the outside of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 10. A connecting shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed limiting plate 7. A drive gear 121 and a first linkage wheel 124 are fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 11. A driven wheel 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 11 near the drive wheel 10. A first belt 14 is sleeved between the driven wheel 13 and the drive wheel 10. The specific structure of the conveying device 4 can be referred to in the prior art, which is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. It includes a conveying roller and a conveyor belt. The motor 3 drives the conveying roller to rotate, so that the conveyor belt moves along the surface of the conveying roller.

[0041] During the conveying process, the motor 3 drives the conveying equipment 4 to transport the beverage bottles. At the same time, the conveying roller drives the drive wheel 10 to rotate. Under the action of the driven wheel 13 and the first belt 14, the connecting shaft 11 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the flipping plate 15 to rotate through the linkage 12. While ensuring the beverage bottles are flipped, energy consumption can be reduced, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inspection and sorting unit includes two sets of mounting seats 17 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed limiting plate 7. A through hole 16 is provided on the side of the fixed limiting plate 7 near the mounting seat 17. A rotating roller 18 is rotatably connected to the side of the mounting seat 17 near the through hole 16. A mounting component 19 is sleeved between the two sets of rotating rollers 18. Multiple positioning rods 20 are fixedly connected to the side of the mounting component 19 near the movable limiting plate 9. A liquid sensor 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting seat 17 away from the flip plate 15 near the movable limiting plate 9. A liquid sensor 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable limiting plate 9 near the fixed limiting plate 7. There is a support plate 22, which is located between the upper and lower positioning rods 20. The shaft end of the roller 18 near the flip plate 15 extends to the outside of the mounting base 17 and is connected to the shaft of the second linkage wheel 125. The liquid sensor 21 is a conventional means in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail. Its function is to detect whether there is liquid on the surface of the beverage bottle (i.e., to detect whether the beverage bottle is leaking). The number of positioning rods 20 is not limited here, as long as the distance between two adjacent sets of positioning rods 20 matches the size of the beverage bottle.

[0043] After being flipped, the beverage bottle falls onto the support plate 22. The two adjacent sets of positioning rods 20 can position the beverage bottle. At the same time, under the action of the second linkage wheel 125, the rotating roller 18 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the mounting part 19 and the positioning rods 20 to rotate synchronously, which plays a role in conveying the flipped beverage bottle. It should be explained that the support plate 22 is made of soft material, that is, when the beverage bottle moves on the surface of the support plate 22, it will not damage the bottle cap. When it passes the liquid sensor 21, the liquid sensor 21 can detect whether there is liquid on the surface of the beverage bottle.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The detection and sorting unit also includes a push plate 28 set on a fixed limiting plate 7. A groove 27 is provided on the side of the fixed limiting plate 7 near the movable limiting plate 9. The push plate 28 is rotatably connected inside the groove 27. A permanent magnet 29 is fixedly connected to the side of the push plate 28 near the groove 27. An electromagnetic plate 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the groove 27 near the push plate 28. The electromagnetic plate 30 is electrically connected to the liquid sensor 21. When the electromagnetic plate 30 is energized, the magnetism between the electromagnetic plate 30 and the permanent magnet 29 is the same. Here, the magnetism on the side of the electromagnetic plate 30 and the permanent magnet 29 that are close to each other is not limited. It is sufficient to ensure that the magnetism on the side of the electromagnetic plate 30 that is close to the permanent magnet 29 is the same when the electromagnetic plate 30 is energized.

[0045] When the liquid sensor 21 detects liquid on the surface of the beverage bottle (i.e., the beverage bottle is leaking), the liquid sensor 21 will energize the electromagnetic plate 30, generating a repulsive force between it and the permanent magnet 29. This will cause the pusher plate 28 to rotate, pushing the beverage bottle to one side of the movable limit plate 9. Then, it will fall onto the conveying device 4 through the mounting groove 31. At this time, the beverage bottle with leakage is conveyed in a different direction than the normal beverage bottle. It can be collected separately at different positions of the conveying device 4 for the recycling of beverages. When the electromagnetic plate 30 is de-energized, it will rotate back to its initial position under its own gravity to facilitate the subsequent sorting of beverage bottles. This can reduce the workload of subsequent quality inspection personnel and improve the production efficiency of beverages to a certain extent.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7It also includes a protective plate 32 set on the movable limiting plate 9. The movable limiting plate 9 has an installation groove 31. The protective plate 32 is rotatably connected in the installation groove 31. The movable limiting plate 9 has a sliding groove 33 on the side near the installation groove 31. A locking rod 35 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 33. A second spring 34 is fixedly connected between the locking rod 35 and the sliding groove 33. An electromagnetic block 36 is fixedly connected on the side of the sliding groove 33 near the locking rod 35. The electromagnetic block 36 is electrically connected to the liquid sensor 21. When the electromagnetic block 36 is energized, there is a certain attraction between the electromagnetic block 36 and the locking rod 35. The protective plate 32 has a locking groove 37 that matches the locking rod 35 on the side near the sliding groove 33. The side of the locking groove 37 near the fixed limiting plate 7 is inclined. The magnetic pole of the electromagnetic block 36 when energized is not limited. As long as it can generate attraction between it and the locking rod 35, it is acceptable. The locking rod 35 is made of metal.

[0047] Initially, the electromagnetic block 36 is not magnetic, and the locking rod 35 will match the locking groove 37 under the action of the second spring 34. This can prevent the beverage bottle from falling when it is leaning against the protective plate 32, thus ensuring the stability of the beverage bottle conveying. When the liquid sensor 21 detects liquid, it will control the electromagnetic block 36 to be energized, so that the electromagnetic block 36 generates magnetism and creates an attraction between it and the locking rod 35, which drives the locking rod 35 to move to the side of the slide 33 and disengage from the locking groove 37. That is, when the push plate 28 pushes the beverage bottle, it pushes the beverage bottle out through the protective plate 32 and falls onto the conveying device 4.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8 The buffer section includes a mounting plate 23 fixedly connected to the fixed limiting plate 7 on the side near the movable limiting plate 9. A buffer plate 24 and a compression plate 25 are slidably connected inside the mounting plate 23. A first spring 26 is fixedly connected between the buffer plate 24 and the compression plate 25. The end of the buffer plate 24 away from the compression plate 25 is in contact with the flip plate 15. The end of the compression plate 25 away from the buffer plate 24 extends into the interior of the mounting member 19. The side of the compression plate 25 opposite to the rotation direction of the mounting member 19 is inclined. It should be noted that there is also a certain friction between the buffer plate 24 and the compression plate 25 and the mounting plate 23. The buffer plate 24 and the compression plate 25 will not detach from the mounting plate 23.

[0049] When the tilting plate 15 rotates upward, under the action of the first spring 26, the buffer plate 24 extends to both ends of the mounting plate 23. When the tilting plate 15 rotates to the initial position, the positioning rod 20 rotates to contact the compression plate 25, causing the compression plate 25 to move inward into the mounting plate 23. At this time, the buffer plate 24 will extend outward. When the tilting plate 15 contacts the buffer plate 24, it can provide a good buffering effect for the tilting plate 15. As the tilting plate 15 moves downward, the positioning rod 20 will disengage from the compression plate 25. Under the action of the first spring 26, the compression plate 25 will extend outward until the tilting plate 15 rotates to the initial position. This design will make the tilting plate 15 receive different buffering effects at different positions. It can not only reduce the impact between the tilting plate 15 and the conveying equipment 4, but also ensure the stability of the tilting plate 15 when it moves to the initial position.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 It also includes a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the base 1, a plurality of support rods 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 5, a fixed limiting plate 7 fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 6 away from the fixing plate 5, a plurality of cylinders 8 fixedly connected to the base 1, and a movable limiting plate 9 fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder 8 near the fixed limiting plate 7.

[0051] The specific structure of cylinder 8 can be referred to the technical solutions in the prior art, which can be known by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. During operation, according to the size of the beverage bottle, cylinder 8 is activated to adjust the distance between the fixed limit plate 7 and the movable limit plate 9 so that it is slightly larger than the size of the beverage bottle. While ensuring the delivery of the beverage bottle, it can reduce the friction between the beverage bottle and the fixed limit plate 7 and the movable limit plate 9. Example

[0052] A method for flipping a beverage bottle flipping system further includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: First, start cylinder 8 according to the size of the beverage bottle to be produced, so that the distance between the fixed limit plate 7 and the movable limit plate 9 matches the size of the beverage bottle;

[0054] By adjusting the moving distance of cylinder 8, the distance between the movable limit plate 9 and the fixed limit plate 7 is adjusted to match the size of the beverage bottle;

[0055] Step 2: After filling and sealing, the beverage bottles are intermittently conveyed to the conveyor section and conveyed along the fixed limit plate 7 and the movable limit plate 9;

[0056] The conveying equipment 4 is moved by the motor 3 to convey the beverage bottle, and the beverage bottle moves along the fixed limit plate 7 and the movable limit plate 9 during the conveying process.

[0057] Step 3: As the beverage bottles are conveyed, they will move to the tilting plate 15. At the same time, the conveying unit drives the tilting plate 15 to rotate intermittently through the linkage unit 12, flipping the beverage bottles onto the detection and sorting unit.

[0058] When the beverage bottle moves onto the flipping plate 15, the linkage 12 will drive the flipping plate 15 to rotate upward, thereby flipping the beverage bottle. After the flipping is completed, the linkage 12 stops rotating, and then the flipping plate 15 will rotate back to its initial position under its own gravity, so as to facilitate the subsequent flipping of the beverage bottle.

[0059] Step 4: When the flip plate 15 rotates to the initial position, the buffer part cushions the flip plate 15.

[0060] When the flip plate 15 rotates to the initial position, the detection and sorting section increases the buffering force of the buffer section, and as the flip plate 15 rotates, the buffering force of the buffer section decreases. While improving the buffering effect on the flip plate 15, it can ensure the stability of the flip plate 15 rotating to the initial position.

[0061] Step 5: The detection and sorting unit is driven by the linkage unit 12 to transport the overturned beverage bottles and detect them. Finally, the beverage bottles that leak are sorted out.

[0062] The beverage bottle is detected by the liquid sensor 21. If leakage is found, the beverage bottle will be pushed onto the conveyor 4 so that the staff can collect and recycle it.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
