Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bottle blank processing, and in particular to a PET wide-mouth bottle blank processing technology. Background Art

[0002] Wide-mouth bottles are bottles with relatively large mouths. Wide-mouth bottles made of glass or plastic are often used in laboratories to hold solid medicines, etc. Polyethylene terephthalate, abbreviated as PET, is a crystalline saturated polyester. It is a milky white or light yellow, highly crystalline polymer with a smooth and shiny surface. It is a common resin in life. Because it has excellent physical and mechanical properties in a wide temperature range, the operating temperature can reach 120°C, and it has excellent electrical insulation, creep resistance, fatigue resistance, friction resistance, and dimensional stability, it is often used as the raw material for the production of plastic wide-mouth bottles.

[0003] In the process of producing PET wide-mouth bottles, the factory needs to first inject the raw materials into the injection molding machine, produce the bottle blank by injection molding, and then place the bottle blank into the blow molding machine after heating and softening, and make the wide-mouth bottle by blow molding. Most of the existing PET wide-mouth bottle blank processing technologies are not convenient for sealing testing before blow molding. Since the blow molding operation requires the bottle blank to have good ductility, this requires that the body of the bottle blank cannot have cracks. In the injection molding process, due to the difficulty in accurately controlling factors such as injection pressure and mold air tightness, the quality of the produced bottle blanks is inconsistent. Therefore, after the bottle blank is injection molded, it is necessary to conduct an airtightness test to ensure that there are no cracks in the body. If there are defects in the bottle blank, it is easy to cause blow molding failure, poor wide-mouth bottle molding effect, or even rupture and pressure loss, causing excessive wear of the blow molding equipment and serious economic losses.

As the rotation continues, the telescopic rod is extended, so that the bottle body sinks to a deeper position in the water, increasing the water pressure on the bottle body, making the bubble detection more accurate, and further improving the processing quality of the wide-mouth bottle.

[0019] 3. In the present invention, when the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod pushes the push plate, the second gear is stationary. When the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod pulls the push plate to reset, the threaded transmission of the threaded rod and the pawl drives the ratchet to rotate. At the same time, the hook on the ratchet and the pawl interfere with each other, driving the second gear to rotate. The meshing transmission between the second gear and the first gear drives the detection assembly to rotate, so that the detection assembly is stationary during loading, and the loading assembly and the detection assembly move simultaneously after the loading is completed, which can ensure the continuity and smoothness of the loading detection.

By sinking the bottle body 11 into the water and observing whether bubbles emerge, it is possible to determine whether the bottle body 11 has cracks, thereby improving the molding effect and quality of the wide-mouth bottle. At the same time, the fan 23 is operated to inject air into the bottle body 11 through the nozzle 22, so that the internal air pressure increases, the speed of gas overflowing from the cracks is accelerated, and the bubbles in the water are dense, which is convenient for observation, and can avoid the detection error caused by the small cracks and the inability of air to overflow under normal pressure, further improving the processing quality of the wide-mouth bottle.

The other pulley 63 is coaxially connected to the outer periphery of the round tube 26. The two pulleys 63 are driven by a belt. When the threaded rod 60 moves horizontally with the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 33, the first gear 62 rotates, driving the rotating shaft 61 and one of the pulleys 63 to rotate. The belt transmission between the two pulleys 63 causes the round tube 26 to rotate, which can drive the nozzle 22 to move and detect multiple bottle blank bodies 11.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0062] The linkage assembly 6 also includes a pair of bearing seats 64, a second gear 65, a ratchet 66, a plurality of pawls 67 and a plurality of return springs 68. The bottom of the bearing seat 64 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped support plate 32. The second gear 65 and the pawl 67 are rotatably installed between the two bearing seats 64. The second gear 65 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pawl 67. The pawl 67 is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded rod 60. A plurality of grooves 650 are provided on the inner wall of the second gear 65. The pawl 67 is rotatably installed in the groove 650. The second gear 65 is meshed with the first gear 62. The return spring 68 is installed in the groove 650. The return spring 68 is used to provide thrust to the pawl 67. When the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 33 pushes the push plate, the ratchet 66 rotates and squeezes the pawl 67 to deflect it, and the reset spring 68 is stretched. At this time, the second gear 65 is stationary. When the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 33 pulls the push plate to reset, the threaded transmission of the threaded rod 60 and the pawl 67 drives the ratchet 66 to rotate. At the same time, the pulling force provided by the reset spring 68 resets the pawl 67. The hook on the ratchet 66 and the pawl 67 conflict with each other, driving the second gear 65 to rotate, and through the meshing transmission between the second gear 65 and the first gear 62, the detection component 2 is driven to rotate, so that the detection component 2 is stationary during loading, and the loading component 3 and the detection component 2 move at the same time after the loading is completed, which can ensure the continuity and smoothness of the loading detection.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0064] One end of the return spring 68 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 650, and the other end of the return spring 68 is fixedly connected to one end of the pawl 67. When the ratchet 66 squeezes the pawl 67, the return spring 68 is compressed. When the ratchet 66 and the pawl 67 are separated, the return spring 68 rebounds to provide thrust to reset the pawl 67. The diameter of the second gear 65 is smaller than the diameter of the first gear 62. As a result, the rotation speed of the round tube 26 is smaller than the rotation speed of the ratchet 66, so that the movement speed of the bottle blank body 11 is slower, reducing its entry speed into the water, avoiding splashing, and keeping the water surface calm, which is convenient for observing bubbles and improving detection accuracy.
