Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable wine bottle conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Baijiu, a traditional Chinese beverage, is widely loved. Its unique production process involves using koji (fermentation starter) and yeast as saccharification and fermentation agents, based on starchy (saccharic) raw materials, and meticulously brewing it through multiple processes including cooking, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, aging, and blending. Moderate consumption of baijiu is beneficial to health, relieving tension and fatigue, improving appetite, aiding digestion, and promoting metabolism. It also has the effect of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation. Baijiu has a high alcohol content and is rich in calories, which can promote blood circulation and stimulate the skin, thereby accelerating metabolism and having the effect of promoting blood circulation, relaxing muscles and tendons. China has a long and rich drinking culture, and baijiu is loved for its unique charm, resulting in huge market demand. Therefore, major baijiu manufacturers have equipped themselves with numerous production lines. On these production lines, conveying equipment plays a crucial role; different processing stages require different types of conveying equipment, such as bottle tilting conveyors, bottle turning conveyors, and bottle linear conveyors.

[0003] However, existing liquor production lines mainly rely on a combination of conveyor belts and turntables to transport bottles to processing machines in stages such as labeling and bottling. Because liquor bottles come in various shapes (round, flat, thick, thin, etc.), existing turning conveyor equipment requires operators to disassemble the original turntable and replace it with the appropriate model according to the bottle type. This process is cumbersome and time-consuming, causing inconvenience to the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses an adjustable wine bottle conveying mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing steering conveying mechanisms being cumbersome to debug and having a limited range of applications.

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

[0006] An adjustable wine bottle conveying mechanism includes a processing machine base and a linear conveyor mounted on the side of the processing machine base. An ultraviolet lamp is installed on the side of the linear conveyor base. A rotary conveying platform is installed at the end of the linear conveyor base. The rotary conveying platform includes a clamping mechanism and an initial adjustment mechanism. A bottle-carrying clamping mechanism is installed in the middle of the linear conveyor base. The clamping mechanism includes sleeves distributed on the top of the linear conveyor base. A first clamping turntable is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sleeve, and a second clamping turntable is rotatably installed at the top of the sleeve.

[0007] The clamping mechanism is provided with an initial adjustment mechanism for preliminary adjustment of the clamping range. The initial adjustment mechanism includes a second motor that is vertically fixed to the top of the second clamping turntable. A first rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor. A second rotating shaft is connected to the bottom of the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are distributed inside the sleeve.

[0008] The initial adjustment mechanism is internally provided with an auxiliary adjustment mechanism for further adjusting the clamping amplitude. The auxiliary adjustment mechanism includes a round toothed component fixedly installed on the top of the second rotating shaft. A round toothed groove is vertically opened at the bottom of the first rotating shaft, and the round toothed component is rotatably installed inside the round toothed groove.

[0009] The bottles are linearly conveyed by the linear conveyor and then rotated by the rotary conveyor platform. The shape of the clamping mechanism is adjusted in conjunction with the operation of the initial adjustment mechanism and the auxiliary adjustment mechanism to clamp various types of bottles.

[0010] By incorporating a clamping mechanism into a traditional processing machine, the bottle is clamped. The flexible deformation capability of the clamping mechanism is used to accommodate different types of bottles. An additional initial adjustment mechanism changes the clamping depth, and an additional auxiliary adjustment mechanism changes the clamping width. This allows for the clamping and conveying of bottles of different types and shapes to the bottom of the processing machine. Operators do not need to change the conveyor turntable when conveying different types of bottles, thus improving the functionality of the traditional conveyor turntable.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes a first motor vertically fixed to the bottom of the linear conveyor platform, the output shaft of the first motor vertically extending to the top of the linear conveyor platform, and the sleeve fixedly installed on the top of the output shaft of the first motor. Several elastic clamping pieces are installed on the outer sides of both the first clamping turntable and the second clamping turntable, and the elastic clamping pieces flexibly contact the wine bottle.

[0012] By setting up a sleeve structure driven by a first motor, the rotation of the sleeve drives the first and second clamping turntables, which are additionally set on the outside of the sleeve, to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the elastic clamps set on the outside of the two clamping plates squeeze and contact the wine bottle, thereby flexibly conveying the wine bottle. At the same time, when the type of wine bottle held by the elastic clamps changes, the elastic clamps can flexibly deform according to the shape of the wine bottle, thereby adapting to different types of wine bottles and conveying multiple types of wine bottles. The operator does not need to change the conveying turntable when conveying different types of wine bottles.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the initial adjustment mechanism further includes connecting strips horizontally connected to the outer sides of both the first and second rotating shafts, with each connecting strip extending horizontally through the inside of the sleeve and connected to the side of the elastic clip.

[0014] By additionally setting a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft structure inside the rotating drum, the two rotating shafts are driven to rotate synchronously by a second motor. At the same time, the connecting strip structure connected to the side of the elastic clamp is coiled up, thereby using the connecting strip to pull the elastic clamp, causing the elastic clamp to extend and retract towards the center of the first clamping turntable and the second clamping turntable, thereby increasing the reserved space between the elastic clamp and the wine bottle, so that the elastic clamp can clamp wine bottles of different shapes.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary adjustment mechanism further includes several grooves on the outer side of the circular toothed component, and a one-way ratchet is slidably installed inside each groove, the one-way ratchet engaging inside the circular tooth groove.

[0016] By setting a circular toothed component and a circular toothed groove structure with one-way ratchet between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, the user can adjust the angle between the first clamping turntable and the second clamping turntable in the horizontal direction by rotating the first rotating shaft and adjusting the angle between the circular toothed component and the circular toothed component, and adjusting the angle between the one-way ratchet moving along the groove. This allows the two ends of the wine bottle that are pressed against the elastic clamp to be pressed into contact, thereby improving the stability of the wine bottle and enabling the clamping mechanism to be adapted to transport more types and more quantities of wine bottles.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, an annular groove is provided on the top outer side of the sleeve, and an annular protrusion is provided on the lower inner wall of the second clamping turntable. The annular protrusion is rotatably installed inside the annular groove and is subject to friction.

[0018] By providing an annular groove at the top of the sleeve and an annular protrusion on the inner wall of the second clamping turntable, the second clamping turntable, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the sleeve, is restricted, ensuring that the second clamping turntable can rotate along the top of the sleeve, while also ensuring the structural stability of the second clamping turntable, thereby ensuring the perfect operation of the equipment.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, both the first and second clamping turntables have several vertically fixed uprights inside. The end of each elastic clamping piece is coiled and sleeved between two uprights. Each upright has a torsion spring sleeved inside, and the torsion spring connects the upright and the elastic clamping piece.

[0020] By installing upright structures inside both the first and second clamping turntables, and with torsion springs sleeved inside the uprights, the stability of the coiled elastic clamps at both ends is ensured by the uprights. At the same time, when the elastic clamps extend, the torsion springs can rotate synchronously and provide driving force for the subsequent reset of the elastic clamps, thereby ensuring the completeness of the cycle operation and the stability of the structure of this equipment.

[0021] As can be seen from the above, the adjustable bottle conveying mechanism provided by this invention has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art:

[0022] Firstly, by incorporating a sleeve structure driven by a first motor into the traditional steering conveyor, the rotation of the sleeve drives the synchronous rotation of a first and second clamping turntable additionally located on the outside of the sleeve. Simultaneously, elastic clamping plates located on the outer sides of the two clamping plates press against the bottles, thus flexibly conveying them. Inside the turntable, a first and second rotating shaft structure are additionally installed. A second motor drives the two rotating shafts to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, connecting strips attached to the sides of the elastic clamping plates coil, pulling the elastic clamping plates and causing them to extend and retract towards the center of the first and second clamping turntables. This increases the space between the elastic clamping plates and the bottles, allowing the elastic clamping plates to hold bottles of different shapes. The elastic clamping plates can flexibly deform according to the shape of the bottles, adapting to different types of bottles and conveying multiple types of bottles. Operators do not need to change the conveyor turntables when conveying different types of bottles, thus improving the functionality of the traditional conveyor.

[0023] Secondly, by further setting a circular toothed component and a circular toothed groove structure with one-way ratchet between the first and second rotating shafts, the interlocking of the circular toothed groove and the circular toothed component allows the user to rotate the first rotating shaft. Through the engagement of the circular toothed groove and the circular toothed component, the one-way ratchet moves along the inside of the groove, creating a clicking sensation that adjusts the angle between the first and second clamping turntables in the horizontal direction. This allows for the compression of the two ends of the bottle that are pressed against the elastic clamp, improving the stability of the bottle. It also enables this clamping mechanism to be adapted to clamp and transport more types and quantities of bottles, thereby further improving the functionality of the traditional conveyor without the need to replace the turntable.

[0037] 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.

[0038] The adjustable wine bottle conveying mechanism disclosed in this invention is mainly used in scenarios involving the conveying of different types of wine bottles.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 12 An adjustable wine bottle conveying mechanism includes a processing machine 1 and a linear conveyor 2 installed on the side of the processing machine 1. An ultraviolet lamp 7 is provided on the side of the linear conveyor 2. A rotary conveying platform is provided at the end of the linear conveyor 2. The rotary conveying platform includes a clamping mechanism 3 and an initial adjustment mechanism 4. A clamping mechanism 3 for conveying wine bottles is installed in the middle of the linear conveyor 2. The clamping mechanism 3 includes sleeves 302 distributed on the top of the linear conveyor 2. A first clamping turntable 303 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sleeve 302. A second clamping turntable 304 is rotatably installed on the top of the sleeve 302.

[0040] The clamping mechanism 3 is provided with a preliminary adjustment mechanism 4 for preliminary adjustment of the clamping range. The preliminary adjustment mechanism 4 includes a second motor 401 that is vertically fixed to the top of the second clamping turntable 304. A first rotating shaft 402 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 401. A second rotating shaft 403 is connected to the bottom of the first rotating shaft 402. The first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 are distributed inside the sleeve 302.

[0041] The primary adjustment mechanism 4 is provided with an auxiliary adjustment mechanism 5 for further adjustment of the clamping amplitude. The auxiliary adjustment mechanism 5 includes a round tooth 501 fixedly installed on the top of the second rotating shaft 403. A round tooth groove 502 is vertically opened at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 402, and the round tooth 501 is rotatably installed inside the round tooth groove 502.

[0042] The bottles are linearly conveyed by the linear conveyor 2 and then rotated by the rotary conveyor platform. In conjunction with the operation of the primary adjustment mechanism 4 and the auxiliary adjustment mechanism 5, the shape of the clamping mechanism 3 is adjusted to clamp various types of bottles.

[0043] In this embodiment: During use, the linear conveyor 2, the rotary conveyor platform, and the processing machine 1 operate synchronously. The operator places the pre-cleaned wine bottle on top of the linear conveyor 2. The linear conveyor 2 slowly transports the bottle towards the rotary conveyor platform. During this transport, the ultraviolet lamp 7 disinfects the bottle with ultraviolet light until the bottle contacts the clamping mechanism 3. At this point, the rotating clamping mechanism 3 changes the direction of movement of the bottle, causing it to slowly move towards the interior of the processing machine 1 until the processing machine 1 completes the processing of the bottle. The processing machine 1 can be a labeling machine, filling machine, capping machine, etc. When processing machine 1 needs to transport bottles of other sizes, the operator needs to first stop the linear conveyor 2 and processing machine 1, and simultaneously start the initial adjustment mechanism 4 and auxiliary adjustment mechanism 5. The initial adjustment mechanism 4 is used to change the clamping depth of the clamping mechanism 3 on the bottle, and the auxiliary adjustment mechanism 5 is used to change the clamping width of the clamping mechanism 3 on the bottle, so that the clamping mechanism 3 can flexibly clamp different types of bottles. Then, the linear conveyor 2 and processing machine 1 are started again to allow the equipment to operate normally. Among them, the side of the linear conveyor 2 is horizontally installed with a side guard 6, and the user can adjust the position of the side guard 6 on the linear conveyor 2 according to the size of the bottle.

[0044] In the above solution, considering the need for flexible clamping of different types of wine bottles, the specific operation is as follows.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 12 In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 further includes a first motor 301 vertically fixed to the bottom of the linear conveyor platform 2. The output shaft of the first motor 301 extends vertically to the top of the linear conveyor platform 2, and the sleeve 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the output shaft of the first motor 301. Several elastic clamping pieces 305 are installed on the outer sides of the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304, which flexibly contact the wine bottle through the elastic clamping pieces 305.

[0046] In this embodiment: During use, the linear conveyor 2, the rotary conveyor platform, and the processing machine 1 operate synchronously. The first motor 301 rotates and drives the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304 to rotate through the sleeve 302. At this time, the operator places the pre-cleaned wine bottle on the top of the linear conveyor 2. The linear conveyor 2 will slowly transport the wine bottle towards the rotary conveyor platform until the wine bottle contacts the elastic clamping pieces 305 on the side of the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304. At this time, the rotating first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304 will drive the wine bottle to change its direction of movement through the elastic clamping pieces 305 on the side and push the wine bottle towards the interior of the processing machine 1 until the processing of the wine bottle is completed, such as labeling, filling, or capping.

[0047] It should be noted that: an annular groove 306 is provided on the outer top of the sleeve 302, and an annular protrusion 307 is provided on the lower inner wall of the second clamping turntable 304. The annular protrusion 307 is rotatably installed inside the annular groove 306 and has friction, which ensures that when the first motor 301 is running, the second clamping turntable 304 can rotate synchronously with the sleeve 302, thereby improving structural stability.

[0048] The elastic clip 305 can be made of stainless steel, aluminum, or other materials, and its outer surface is provided with a flexible layer such as a sponge layer or a rubber layer for protection.

[0049] In the above solution, considering the need to clamp different types of wine bottles and improve the functionality of the device, the specific operation is as follows.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the initial adjustment mechanism 4 further includes connecting strips 404 horizontally connected to the outer sides of the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403. Each connecting strip 404 extends horizontally from the inside of the sleeve 302 and is connected to the side of the elastic clip 305.

[0051] In this embodiment: when the processing machine 1 needs to transport bottles of other sizes, the operator needs to stop the linear conveyor 2 and the processing machine 1, and start the initial adjustment mechanism 4 at the same time, causing the second motor 401 to rotate. The rotating second motor 401 will synchronously drive the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 to rotate. The rotating first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 will continuously coil the connecting strip 404 connected to the elastic clamp 305, causing the straight distance between the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 and the elastic clamp 305 to slowly decrease, so that the elastic clamp 305 is "concave" in the direction of the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403. At this time, the clamping depth of the elastic clamp 305 on the bottle will change, thereby clamping bottles of different sizes.

[0052] It should be noted that the side walls of the first clamping turntable 303, the second clamping turntable 304, and the sleeve 302 are all provided with several evenly distributed retention grooves 310, and the connecting strip 404 passes through the inside of the retention grooves 310.

[0053] In the above scheme, considering the need to further improve the equipment's ability to clamp and convey different types of wine bottles, the specific operation is as follows.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary adjustment mechanism 5 further includes a plurality of grooves 503 on the outer side of the circular tooth 501, and a one-way ratchet 504 is slidably installed inside each groove 503, the one-way ratchet 504 engaging inside the circular tooth groove 502.

[0055] In this embodiment: when the processing machine 1 needs to transport bottles of other sizes, the operator can manually move the second clamping turntable 304 located above according to the type and size of the bottle. The force-bearing second clamping turntable 304 will drive the first rotating shaft 402 located above to rotate. The circular tooth 501 located at the top of the second rotating shaft 403 will rotate along the circular tooth groove 502 located at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 402. At the same time, the one-way ratchet 504 located inside the circular tooth 501 will be squeezed by the inner wall of the circular tooth groove 502, thereby continuously moving horizontally along the inside of the groove 503, thus producing... A slight jamming sensation is observed. Simultaneously, as the second clamping turntable 304 rotates, the angle between the second clamping turntable 304 and the first clamping turntable 303 in the horizontal direction changes, thereby further clamping both sides of the bottle. Correspondingly, as the angle between the second clamping turntable 304 and the first clamping turntable 303 changes, the number of bottles that this device can clamp also increases. Among them, each one-way ratchet 504 and the groove 503 is connected to an elastic piece 505. When the one-way ratchet 504 is located inside the groove 503 and loses its squeezing restriction, the elastic piece 505 will push the one-way ratchet 504 out of the groove 503.

[0056] In the above scheme, considering the need to maintain the structural stability of the elastic clip 305 and to allow it to reset when the elastic clip 305 loses the influence of the compressive force, the specific operation is as follows.

[0057] Reference Figure 9 In a preferred embodiment, several uprights 308 are vertically fixed inside the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304. The end of each elastic clamp 305 is coiled and sleeved between two uprights 308. A torsion spring 309 is sleeved inside each upright 308, and the torsion spring 309 is connected between the upright 308 and the elastic clamp 305.

[0058] In this embodiment: when the elastic clip 305 is squeezed by the bottle and pulled by the connecting strip 404, the two ends of the elastic clip 305 will extend around the upright 308, and at the same time the two ends of the elastic clip 305 extend, they will pull the torsion spring 309, causing the torsion spring 309 to be tightened by force; when the elastic clip 305 is no longer squeezed by the bottle and pulled by the connecting strip 404, the torsion spring 309, which is no longer affected by the limiting force, will reset and rotate, pulling the elastic clip 305 to reset.

[0059] Working Principle: During operation, the linear conveyor 2 and the processing machine 1 run synchronously. The first motor 301 rotates, driving the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304 to rotate via the sleeve 302. The operator places the pre-cleaned bottles on top of the linear conveyor 2, which slowly transports the bottles towards the rotating conveyor platform until they contact the elastic clamps 305 on the sides of the first and second clamping turntables 303 and 304. The rotating first and second clamping turntables 303 and 304 then change the direction of movement of the bottles via the elastic clamps 305, pushing them towards the interior of the processing machine 1 until the processing machine 1 completes the processing of the bottles, such as labeling, filling, or capping. When the processing machine 1 needs to transport bottles of other sizes, the operator must first stop the linear conveyor 2. 2. Simultaneously with the processing machine 1, the initial adjustment mechanism 4 is started, causing the second motor 401 to rotate. The rotating second motor 401 will synchronously drive the first rotating shaft 402 to rotate. At this time, the one-way ratchet 504 located inside the round tooth part 501 will be restricted by the inner wall of the round tooth groove 502, thus engaging with the round tooth groove 502, causing the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 to rotate together (similar to a one-way ratchet structure). The rotating first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 will continuously coil and connect to the connecting strip 404 of the elastic clamp 305, causing the straight distance between the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 and the elastic clamp 305 to slowly decrease, thus causing the elastic clamp 305 to "concave" in the direction of the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403. At this time, the clamping depth of the elastic clamp 305 on the wine bottle will change, thereby clamping wine bottles of different sizes.When the processing machine 1 needs to transport bottles of other sizes, the operator can manually rotate the second clamping turntable 304 located above according to the type and size of the bottle. At this time, the rotation direction of the second clamping turntable 304 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second motor 401. The force-bearing second clamping turntable 304 will drive the first rotating shaft 402 located above to rotate. At this time, the circular tooth 501 located at the top of the second rotating shaft 403 will rotate along the circular tooth groove 502 located at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 402. At the same time, the one-way ratchet 504 located inside the circular tooth 501 will be squeezed by the inner wall of the circular tooth groove 502. This causes the device to continuously move horizontally along the inside of the groove 503, but the one-way ratchet 504 will not engage with the circular tooth groove 502, causing the second rotating shaft 403 to lose its connection with the first rotating shaft 402, ensuring that the first rotating shaft 402 rotates while the second rotating shaft 403 remains stationary. At the same time, as the second clamping turntable 304 rotates, the angle between the second clamping turntable 304 and the first clamping turntable 303 in the horizontal direction will change, thereby further clamping the two sides of the bottle. As the angle between the second clamping turntable 304 and the first clamping turntable 303 changes, the number of bottles that this device can clamp will also increase accordingly.

[0060] The clamping mechanism 3 has the following operating modes:

[0061] When large round and square wine bottles are being loaded, the clamping mechanism 3 operates normally, and its specific working state is as follows: Figure 12 As shown;

[0062] When a round wine bottle of suitable size is being fed, the included angle between the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304 can be adjusted appropriately, as shown in the specific working mode. Figure 11 As shown;

[0063] When small round wine bottles are being fed, the misalignment angle between the first clamping turntable 303 and the second clamping turntable 304 can be adjusted to its maximum. At this time, the number of wine bottles that the clamping mechanism 3 can transport at one time will also increase to its maximum. The specific working mode is as follows: Figure 10 As shown;

[0064] Furthermore, when feeding a flat bottle, the clamping mechanism 3 can control the tightness of the elastic clamp 305 according to the flatness of the bottle. Of course, when feeding a round bottle, the tightness of the elastic clamp 305 can also be controlled to ensure the fit between the clamping mechanism 3 and the bottle.

[0065] 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.
