Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ceramic wine bottle production technology, and more specifically, relates to a ceramic wine bottle blank shaping production line. Background Technology
[0002] As an important medium for wine packaging, the smoothness and integrity of ceramic wine bottles directly affect the market acceptance of the product. In the production process of ceramic wine bottles, after the clay blank is pressed into shape, due to the structural characteristics of the mold parting surface, flash will inevitably form at the corresponding position on the parting surface. If this flash is not removed in time, it will cause raised defects on the surface of the bottle after subsequent firing, seriously affecting the product's aesthetics. Therefore, shaping treatment is necessary before firing the clay blank, and the core processes include flash removal and surface polishing.
[0003] Currently, the industry generally uses manual operation for shaping, supplemented by a few simple devices. Specifically, the burr removal process is completed manually by operators using tools such as scrapers, while surface polishing is done manually or with the assistance of simple polishing devices to eliminate surface scratches, bumps and other defects, and improve the smoothness of the clay blank surface.
[0004] However, the quality of burr removal and manual polishing depends entirely on the operator's skill and experience. For inexperienced employees, problems such as improper control of scraper force and scraping path deviation are prone to occur during scraping, resulting in damage to the preform and direct scrapping, increasing production costs. During manual polishing, the polishing force, speed, and path cannot be standardized, leading to inconsistent surface smoothness between different batches and even within the same batch of preforms. Furthermore, manual operation is extremely inefficient, with lengthy shaping times for individual preforms, making it difficult to meet the efficiency requirements of large-scale production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic wine bottle blank shaping production line to replace traditional manual operations, thereby solving the problems of high dependence on manual labor, low efficiency, uneven polishing quality, and easy scratching, breakage, and scrapping of the blanks in existing manual shaping and simple device-assisted shaping of ceramic wine bottle blanks.

[0083] Please see Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides a ceramic wine bottle blank shaping production line. The ceramic wine bottle blank shaping production line includes a workbench 8, multiple workstations, and a transfer mechanism 7. The multiple workstations are arranged sequentially along a straight line on the workbench 8, including a flash softening station 1, a flash removal station 2, a bottle polishing station 4, and a blank unloading station 6, arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the bottle blank 9. The flash softening station 1 is equipped with a water spraying mechanism 11, which sprays water onto the flash of the bottle blank 9 to soften it. The flash removal station 2 is equipped with a flash scraping mechanism 21, which scrapes off the softened flash along the tangent direction of the bottle blank 9 surface. The bottle polishing station 4 is equipped with a bottle polishing mechanism, which performs rotary polishing on the surface of the bottle blank 9 after the flash has been scraped off. In application, the transfer mechanism 7 is arranged on one side of the workbench 8 along the arrangement direction of multiple work stations. The transfer mechanism 7 has at least one gripper 74 for transferring the preform 9 from the previous work station to the next work station adjacent to it.
[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The flash softening station 1 is also equipped with a flash softening base 12 and a positioning element 13. The flash softening base 12 is used to place the preform 9, and a water spraying mechanism 11 is disposed on at least one side of the flash softening base 12. The positioning element 13 is disposed on the water spraying mechanism 11 or on the flash softening base 12. The positioning element 13 is used to cooperate with a preset structure on the preform 9 when the preform 9 is placed on the flash softening base 12, so that the flash on the preform 9 is aligned with the spray center of the water spraying mechanism 11.
[0085] In the application, a first water collection tank 14 is also provided on the edge softening station 1. The first water collection tank 14 is a tank structure installed on the workbench 8. The edge softening base 12 is located in the first water collection tank 14, and the height of the edge softening base 12 is slightly higher than the depth of the first water collection tank 14. The bottom of the first water collection tank 14 is provided with a drain outlet that penetrates the workbench 8. During operation, some of the water sprayed onto the preform 9 by the water spraying mechanism 11 will flow downwards and collect in the first water collection tank 14, and be discharged through the drain outlet at the bottom of the first water collection tank 14.
[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The water spraying mechanism 11 includes a support plate 111, on which multiple water supply pipes 112 are provided. Each water supply pipe 112 has a nozzle 113 at its outlet end. The multiple water supply pipes 112 are divided into two spraying groups, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flash softening base 12. In application, the nozzles 113 of the multiple water supply pipes 112 on each side are evenly arranged from top to bottom, covering the entire bottle body of the preform 9. The spraying direction of the nozzles 113 is all towards the preform 9 on the flash softening base 12, and is used to spray liquid onto the flash on both sides of the preform 9 to achieve flash softening.
[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 A support seat 15 is provided on the edge softening station 1 corresponding to the edge softening base 12. The support seat 15 is located on the side of the edge softening base 12 away from the transfer mechanism 7. The height of the support seat 15 is higher than the first water collection tank 14. A horizontally arranged telescopic cylinder 16 is provided on the top of the support seat 15. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 16 faces the edge softening base 12. The support plate 111 in the aforementioned water spraying mechanism 11 is installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 16, so that the entire water spraying mechanism 11 can move closer to or away from the edge softening base 12 under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 16.
[0088] In this embodiment, the aforementioned positioning element 13 is disposed on the support plate 111 of the water spraying mechanism 11. Driven by the telescopic cylinder 16, it moves closer to or further away from the flash softening base 12 along with the water spraying mechanism 11. In application, the positioning element 13 specifically includes a positioning bracket and a positioning block. The positioning bracket is fixedly installed on the support plate 111 at one end near the flash softening base 12. The positioning block is installed on the positioning bracket. The side of the positioning block facing the flash softening base 12 has a dedicated positioning surface. This positioning surface is used to fit and contact with a preset structure (such as a lifting lug) on the preform 9 to position the preform 9.
[0089] In practical applications, the flash softening station 1 is equivalent to the loading station. During operation, the telescopic cylinder 16 is first extended to drive the water spraying mechanism 11 and the positioning component 13 to move synchronously to the flash softening base 12 to the predetermined position. Then, the preform 9 is placed on the flash softening base 12, so that the positioning surface of the positioning block contacts and limits the preset structure on the preform 9, thus completing the positioning of the preform 9. This allows the flash on the preform 9 to automatically align with the nozzle 113 of the water supply pipe 112, eliminating the need for manual visual positioning and improving work efficiency.
[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4The flash removal station 2 is also equipped with a flash removal base 22 and a first bottle neck clamping mechanism 23. The flash removal base 22 is set on the workbench 8 and is used to place the bottle preform 9. The first bottle neck clamping mechanism 23 includes a first driving member 231 and a first pressing block 232. The first pressing block 232 is located above the flash removal base 22. The first driving member 231 is used to drive the first pressing block 232 to rise and fall, so as to press and fix the bottle preform 9 onto the flash removal base 22.
[0091] In application, the first driving component 231 can be a small cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The first driving component 231 can be mounted directly above the flash removal base 22 via a support frame fixed on the worktable 8, with the driving end of the first driving component 231 facing downwards and directly opposite the flash removal base 22. The first pressing block 232 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the first driving component 231 and is located directly above the flash removal base 22. The first pressing block 232 is made of nylon material, and its lower surface has a fitting surface adapted to the contour of the bottle mouth of the preform 9 to achieve flexible pressing. During operation, the first driving component 231 drives the first pressing block 232 to move vertically up and down: when the first pressing block 232 moves downward, the lower surface of the first pressing block 232 presses against the bottle mouth end of the preform 9, fixing the preform 9 firmly on the flash removal base 22, and restricting the axial and radial movement of the preform 9; when the first pressing block 232 moves upward, the first pressing block 232 moves away from the preform 9, releasing the fixing restriction on the preform 9, so as to pick up and put down the preform 9.
[0092] In this embodiment, the aforementioned flash removal mechanism 21 includes a first support 211, a first linear module 212, a second linear module 213, a scraper 214, and a controller. The first support 211 is located on the side of the flash removal base 22 away from the transfer mechanism 7. The first linear module 212 is mounted on the first support 211 and is equipped with a first slide block 2121 capable of reciprocating vertically. The second linear module 213 is mounted on the first slide block 2121 and is equipped with a second slide block 2131 capable of reciprocating horizontally. In specific applications, the second linear module 213 is a double-slide linear module with two second slide blocks 2131. In the prior art, double-slide linear modules are mature and standardized linear drive components that can achieve synchronous movement of two slide blocks under the same power source. In this embodiment, the two second slide blocks 2131 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flash removal base 22. There are two scraper blades 214, which are respectively mounted on two second slide blocks 2131. The two scraper blades 214 are used to scrape off the flash on both sides of the preform 9. The controller is electrically connected to the first linear module 212 and the second linear module 213. In application, the controller controls the two scraper blades 214 to move synchronously along the outer contour of the preform 9 according to the preset trajectory, so as to complete the synchronous scraping operation of the flash on both sides of the preform 9 in one go.
[0093] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The aforementioned scraper 214 includes a mounting plate 2141 and a cutting wire 2142. The mounting plate 2141 is a support carrier for the cutting wire 2142. One end of the mounting plate 2141 is a fixed end, which is fixed to the second slide 2131 by bolting. The other end of the mounting plate 2141 is an overhanging end, which extends horizontally toward the flash removal base 22. The extension length is designed to be adapted to the distance between the flash removal base 22 and the second slide 2131. A U-shaped groove 2143 is provided on the side of the overhanging end facing the flash removal base 22.
[0094] In application, the cutting wire 2142 is a molybdenum metal wire with a diameter of 0.1-0.2mm. It is connected between two opposite sidewalls of the U-shaped groove 2143 by tensioning bolts, and the cutting wire 2142 is tensioned and fixed by tightening the locking bolts. The cutting section of the cutting wire 2142 is flush with the open end face of the U-shaped groove 2143, and the cutting section of the cutting wire 2142 can directly expose and adhere to the flash of the preform 9 for cutting. Compared with traditional scrapers, the contact area between the cutting wire 2142 and the preform 9 is smaller, and the cutting pressure is more concentrated. It can efficiently cut off the flash and reduce the compression and friction on the brittle ceramic blank body, fundamentally avoiding the problems of surface scratches and edge cracking of the preform 9 that are easily caused by manual scrapers.
[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 A connecting plate 24 is provided on the first bracket 211. One end of the connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 211 by bolts, and the other end of the connecting plate 24 extends horizontally to directly above the flash removal base 22. The first driving component 231 is detachably mounted on the connecting plate 24 by bolts, with its driving end vertically downward aligned with the flash removal base 22. With the above configuration, there is no need to set up an additional independent support frame. The first driving component 231 and the first bracket 211 of the flash scraping mechanism 21 are integrated into one unit, simplifying the overall structure of the device, reducing the number of parts and installation procedures, lowering the equipment manufacturing cost and the workbench space occupied, and improving the compactness of the device layout.
[0096] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The burr removal mechanism 21 also includes a cleaning component 25. The cleaning component 25 automatically removes ceramic clay residue adhering to the cutting wire 2142, ensuring a continuous and stable cutting effect. In application, two cleaning components 25 are used, positioned on the connecting plate 24 near one end of the first drive member 231, corresponding to the two cutting wires 2142 on either side. The cleaning component 25 consists of a cleaning bracket 251 and a cleaning brush 252. The cleaning bracket 251 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 24, and the cleaning brush 252 is mounted on the cleaning bracket 251. The cleaning brush 252 is made of flexible nylon bristles, which are soft and densely arranged, effectively removing clay residue without scratching or abrading the cutting wire 2142. During implementation, when the cutting wire 2142 has undergone multiple edge-cutting operations and has ceramic clay residue adhering to its surface, the controller automatically calls the cleaning program, controlling the first linear module 212 and the second linear module 213 to work together to move the cutting wire 2142 to the position of the cleaning brush 252, so that the cutting wire 2142 and the cleaning brush 252 can fully contact each other. Then, the controller controls the cutting wire 2142 to make a small vertical reciprocating relative movement. Through the frictional contact between the cleaning brush 252 and the cutting wire 2142, the clay residue adhering to the cutting wire 2142 is completely removed. After cleaning is completed, the controller controls the cutting wire 2142 to return to the initial position of the operation, and the subsequent edge-cutting operation of the bottle blank can continue.
[0097] In actual production, some wine bottles are symmetrically equipped with lifting lugs, which have lifting holes. In order to remove the burrs in the lifting holes, the work station also includes a hole treatment station 3, which is located between the burr removal station 2 and the bottle polishing station 4.
[0098] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The hole processing station 3 is equipped with a hole processing base 32, a second bottle mouth clamping mechanism 33, and a hole processing mechanism 31.
[0099] The hole treatment base 32 is set on the workbench 8 and is used to place the bottle preform 9 with lifting holes.
[0100] The second bottle neck clamping mechanism 33 is set corresponding to the hole treatment base 32, and its configuration and function are the same as those of the first bottle neck clamping mechanism 23. The second bottle neck clamping mechanism 33 includes a second driving member 331 and a second pressing block 332. The second driving member 331 can be a small cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The second driving member 331 is mounted directly above the hole treatment base 32 by a clamping support frame 34 fixed on the worktable 8. The driving end of the second driving member 331 is set downwards and directly opposite the hole treatment base 32. The second pressing block 332 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the second driving member 331 and is located directly above the hole treatment base 32. The second pressing block 332 is made of nylon material, and its lower surface is constructed with a fitting surface that matches the contour of the bottle neck of the preform 9 to achieve flexible clamping.
[0101] The hole processing mechanism 31 includes a second support 311, a linear actuator 312, a hole processing motor 313, and a drill rod 314. The second support 311 is located on the side of the hole processing base 32 away from the transfer mechanism 7. The linear actuator 312 is a cylinder or electric telescopic rod mounted on the second support 311, with a connecting seat 315 mounted on its drive end. The hole processing motors 313 are fixedly mounted on the connecting seats 315, and their number corresponds to the number of lifting holes on the preform 9. The output end of the hole processing motors 313 is connected to the drill rod 314, the outer diameter of which is adapted to the inner diameter of the lifting holes on the preform 9, for inserting into the lifting holes and rotating to remove burrs.
[0102] During operation, the hole processing motor 313 is started first to drive the drill rod 314 to rotate at high speed. Then, the linear driver 312 is controlled to push the hole processing motor 313 and the drill rod 314 to move horizontally toward the lifting hole of the preform 9, so that the rotating drill rod 314 can be smoothly inserted into the lifting hole to cut and trim the burrs on the inner wall and opening of the lifting hole. After the processing is completed, the drill rod 314 is controlled to withdraw and reset.
[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 4 The aforementioned second bracket 311 is also provided with a manual linear slide module 316, which is a conventional and mature linear adjustment component in the prior art.
[0104] The manual linear slide module 316 is mounted vertically on the second bracket 311 and is equipped with a slide table that can slide vertically. The linear driver 312 is fixedly mounted on the slide table of the manual linear slide module 316.
[0105] In actual implementation, by operating the manual linear slide module 316, the sliding table is driven to rise and fall in the vertical direction, which in turn drives the linear driver 312, the hole processing motor 313 and the drill rod 314 to adjust the vertical height synchronously, so that the drill rod 314 and the lifting hole of the bottle blank 9 are kept coaxially aligned, so as to adapt to the edge treatment of lifting holes of ceramic wine bottle blanks 9 with lifting lugs of different heights and sizes.
[0106] In some embodiments, a collection trough 26 is also provided on the workbench 8 in the area corresponding to the flash removal station 2 and the hole processing station 3. The flash removal base 22 and the hole processing base 32 are both arranged inside the collection trough 26, so that the flash processing of the bottle preform 9 and the flash trimming of the lifting hole are both carried out within the enclosed area of the collection trough 26. During the operation, the flash on the bottle body parting surface scraped by the scraper 214 and the flash inside the lifting hole trimmed and removed by the drill rod 314, etc., can fall directly and collect in the collection trough 26, realizing the centralized collection of processing waste.
[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The bottle polishing station 4 is also equipped with a first support frame 41, a polishing base 42, a polishing motor, and a third bottle neck clamping mechanism 43. The first support frame 41 is mounted on the worktable 8. The polishing base 42 is inserted into the worktable 8, and a bearing is provided between it and the worktable 8, allowing the polishing base 42 to rotate around its axis. The polishing base 42 is used to place the bottle preform 9. The polishing motor is mounted below the worktable 8 via a motor bracket, and its drive end extends vertically upward through the worktable 8 and connects to the polishing base 42, driving the polishing base 42 to rotate. The third bottle neck clamping mechanism 43 is located on the first support frame 41 and above the polishing base 42, and includes a liftable pressure head 433, which engages with the bottle neck of the bottle preform 9 during descent and rotates synchronously with it. The bottle polishing mechanism is located on the first support frame 41 and to the side of the polishing base 42, and specifically includes a polishing driver, a rotary drive assembly, and a polishing actuator. The polishing driver is mounted on the first support frame 41. The rotary drive assembly is mounted on the output end of the polishing driver. The polishing actuator is mounted on the output end of the rotary drive assembly. During operation, the polishing driver drives the polishing actuator to approach or move away from the preform 9. When the polishing actuator is against the bottle body, the rotary drive assembly drives the polishing actuator to rotate around its own axis to polish the surface of the bottle body.
[0108] In application, the aforementioned polishing actuator is a polishing sponge, which has a polishing surface adapted to the contour of the preform 9. The bottle polishing mechanism also includes a humidification unit and a pressing unit. The humidification unit includes a water spray pipe facing the side of the polishing sponge for humidifying the sponge. The pressing unit includes a pressing roller that can move linearly toward the polishing sponge, which is used to press the polishing sponge to expel excess water. The water spray pipe, the pressing roller, and the polishing base 42 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the polishing sponge.
[0109] In actual operation, due to the structural shape of the preform 9 itself, the bottle body area and the shoulder / neck area of the preform 9 need to be polished separately to ensure polishing quality. In this invention, the bottle body polishing station 4 includes a first polishing sub-station 401 and a second polishing sub-station 402 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the preform 9. The first polishing sub-station 401 and the second polishing sub-station 402 have the same arrangement structure, both equipped with a first support frame 41, a polishing base 42, a polishing motor, a third bottle neck clamping mechanism 43, and a bottle body polishing mechanism. The polishing actuator of the first polishing sub-station 401 is used to polish the shoulder / neck area of the preform 9, and the polishing actuator of the second polishing sub-station 402 is used to polish the bottle body area of the preform 9.
[0110] In application, to save space on the eight sides of the workbench, the first polishing substation 401 and the second polishing substation 402 share a first support frame 41. The first support frame 41 is a rectangular frame structure with a crossbeam 411 at its upper end. The crossbeam 411 is positioned above the two polishing bases 42, and the third bottle neck clamping mechanism 43 and the bottle body polishing mechanism are both mounted on the crossbeam 411.
[0111] The third bottle neck clamping mechanism 43 specifically includes a lifting driver 431, a sliding shaft 432, and a pressure head 433. The lifting driver 431 can be a small cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, which is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 411. A guide sleeve 434 is also vertically fixed on the crossbeam 411. The guide sleeve 434 is located directly above the corresponding polishing base 42 and is coaxially arranged with the polishing base 42. The sliding shaft 432 passes through the guide sleeve 434 and can slide vertically up and down relative to the guide sleeve 434. The upper end of the sliding shaft 432 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting driver 431 through a plate. The lifting driver 431 can drive the sliding shaft 432 to complete the vertical lifting action along the guide sleeve 434 with the help of the plate.
[0112] In application, the pressure head 433 is integrally injection molded from nylon material. Its upper end is connected to the lower end of the sliding shaft 432 via a floating component, allowing it to move vertically up and down synchronously with the sliding shaft 432. The floating component includes a floating joint 435 and a mounting short shaft 436. In application, the floating joint 435 is connected to the lower end of the sliding shaft 432, and the mounting short shaft 436 is connected to the lower end of the floating joint 435. The pressure head 433 is rotatably mounted on the mounting short shaft 436 via bearings. In this way, the pressure head 433 can not only move vertically up and down synchronously with the sliding shaft 432, but also rotate flexibly relative to the mounting short shaft 436. The lower end of the pressure head 433 has a horizontal abutment surface for tightly fitting with the bottle mouth end face of the preform 9, and a positioning post 4331 is protruding in the middle of the horizontal abutment surface. The size of the positioning post 4331 is adapted to the inner diameter of the bottle mouth of the preform 9, and can form an insertion fit with the bottle mouth of the preform 9. With the insertion limiting effect of the positioning post 4331, the pressure head 433 can be stably fitted at the bottle mouth of the preform 9.
[0113] By setting the floating joint 435, the pressure head 433 can adaptively compensate for the slight coaxiality deviation between the sliding shaft 432 and the bottle mouth of the preform 9, avoid hard contact caused by installation or alignment errors, effectively alleviate the local stress concentration caused by the vertical clamping force on the bottle mouth, and protect the bottle mouth of the preform 9 from damage.
[0114] In the application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The components of the bottle polishing mechanisms located at the first polishing sub-station 401 and the second polishing sub-station 402 are largely the same, differing only slightly in their arrangement. Specifically:
[0115] For the first polishing substation 401, the bottle polishing mechanism thereon includes a first polishing driver 441, a first rotary drive assembly, a first water spray unit, and a first extrusion unit. The first polishing driver 441 is an electric cylinder, the cylinder body of which is vertically fixed to the crossbeam 411 by means of a plate and is located on one side of the corresponding third bottle mouth clamping mechanism 43. The plunger of the electric cylinder is set downwards, and a first connecting block 4411 is installed at its end.
[0116] The first rotary drive assembly is mounted on the first connecting block 4411, specifically including a first drive motor 451 and a first rotating shaft 4511. In application, the first drive motor 451 is a servo motor, with its output end fixedly mounted downwards on the first connecting block 4411; the first rotating shaft 4511 is vertically arranged, and its upper end is securely connected to the output end of the first drive motor 451 through a transmission connection, a plug-in fixed connection, or a bolt connection. The polishing actuator is a first polishing sponge 461, which is disc-shaped and fixedly fitted onto the lower end of the first rotating shaft 4511, rotating synchronously with the first rotating shaft 4511. During operation, driven by the first polishing driver 441, the first polishing sponge 461 moves from top to bottom along with the first connecting block 4411, approaching and abutting the shoulder and neck area of the bottle preform 9, while simultaneously rotating around its own axis under the drive of the first drive motor 451, polishing the surface of the shoulder and neck area of the bottle preform 9 through rotational friction.
[0117] The first water spray unit includes a first water spray pipe 471, which is fixed to the first support frame 41. Its outlet faces the first polishing sponge 461, and a water supply pump is connected to the first water spray pipe 471. During operation, the water supply pump is started, and clean water is continuously sprayed onto the first polishing sponge 461 through the outlet of the first water spray pipe 471. This humidifies and cools the first polishing sponge 461, preventing damage to the preform 9 or the first polishing sponge 461 due to frictional heat during polishing. It also washes away the dust generated during polishing, reducing the impact of dust on the polishing effect.
[0118] The first extrusion unit includes a first telescopic actuator 481, a horizontal shaft, and a first extrusion roller 4811. The first telescopic actuator 481 is a small cylinder, fixedly mounted on the first connecting block 4411. The telescopic end of the first telescopic actuator 481 faces downward. The horizontal shaft is mounted on the driving end of the first telescopic actuator 481 via a plate, extending laterally to below the first polishing sponge 461. The first extrusion roller 4811 is rotatably mounted on the horizontal shaft via bearings and is located below the first polishing sponge 461. During operation, the first telescopic actuator 481 drives the horizontal shaft to move the first extrusion roller 4811 from bottom to top towards the first polishing sponge 461, so that the first extrusion roller 4811 and the first polishing sponge 461 are in close contact. The extrusion action controls the moisture content of the first polishing sponge 461, preventing excessive moisture from affecting the polishing effect or causing water accumulation on the surface of the preform 9.
[0119] For the second polishing substation 402, the bottle polishing mechanism includes a second polishing driver 442, a second rotary drive assembly, a second water spray unit, and a second extrusion unit. The second polishing driver 442 is an electric cylinder, its cylinder body bolted to the side of the crossbeam 411 and located opposite the corresponding third bottle neck clamping mechanism 43. The plunger of the electric cylinder extends laterally through the crossbeam 411 to the other side, and a second connecting block is fixedly installed at the end of the plunger.
[0120] The second rotary drive assembly is mounted on the second connecting block, specifically including a second drive motor 452 and a second rotating shaft 4521. In application, the second drive motor 452 is a servo motor, with its output end fixedly mounted downwards on the second connecting block; the second rotating shaft 4521 is vertically arranged, and its upper end is securely connected to the output end of the second drive motor 452 through a transmission connection, a plug-in fixed connection, or a bolt connection. The polishing actuator is a second polishing sponge 462, which is cylindrical and fixedly fitted onto the lower end of the second rotating shaft 4521, rotating synchronously with the second rotating shaft 4521. The circumferential polishing surface contour of the second polishing sponge 462 matches the outer contour of the bottle body, ensuring full contact with the bottle surface during polishing. During operation, driven by the second polishing driver 442, the second polishing sponge 462 moves along the second connecting block from one side of the bottle blank 9 to approach the bottle blank 9 and abut against the bottle body. Simultaneously, driven by the second drive motor 452, it rotates around its own axis, achieving polishing of the bottle surface through rotational friction.
[0121] The second water spray unit includes a second water spray pipe 472, which is fixed to the first support frame 41. Its outlet faces the side of the second polishing sponge 462, and a water supply pump is connected to the second water spray pipe 472. During operation, the water supply pump is started, and clean water is continuously sprayed onto the second polishing sponge 462 through the outlet of the second water spray pipe 472. This humidifies and cools the second polishing sponge 462, preventing damage to the preform 9 or the second polishing sponge 462 due to frictional heat during polishing. It also washes away the dust generated during polishing, reducing the impact of dust on the polishing effect.
[0122] The second extrusion unit includes a second telescopic actuator 482, a sliding block 4821, a vertical shaft 4822, and a second extrusion roller 4823. The second telescopic actuator 482 is a small cylinder fixedly mounted on the second connecting block. The sliding block 4821 is slidably engaged with the second connecting block via a horizontal guide rail 714824 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second telescopic actuator 482. The second telescopic actuator 482 can drive the sliding block 4821 to reciprocate along the horizontal guide rail 714824. The vertical shaft 4822 is vertically fixed to the lower end of the sliding block 4821. The second extrusion roller 4823 is rotatably mounted on the vertical shaft 4822 via bearings. Its axis is parallel to the axis of the second polishing sponge 462, and the extrusion working surface profile of the second extrusion roller 4823 is adapted to the circumferential polishing surface of the second polishing sponge 462. During operation, the second telescopic driver 482 drives the vertical shaft 4822 to move the second extrusion roller 4823 from the side towards the second polishing sponge 462, so that the second extrusion roller 4823 and the second polishing sponge 462 are in close contact. The extrusion action controls the moisture content of the second polishing sponge 462, avoiding excessive moisture from affecting the polishing effect or causing water to accumulate on the surface of the preform 9.
[0123] In some embodiments, a first water collection tank 491 for collecting wastewater generated during the polishing process is provided on the workbench 8 in the area corresponding to the bottle polishing station 4. In application, the first polishing sub-station 401 and the second polishing sub-station 402 can each correspond to one first water collection tank 491, or they can share one first water collection tank 491. The polishing base 42, polishing sponge, water spray pipe, and extrusion roller are all located above the first water collection tank 491. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the first water collection tank 491, and a first drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet.
[0124] In this embodiment, a vertical sleeve is provided at the bottom of the first water receiving tank 491 corresponding to the position of the polishing base 42. The vertical sleeve passes through the first water receiving tank 491 and is sealed to the water receiving tank. The polishing base 42 is rotatably inserted into the vertical sleeve through a bearing. The drive shaft of the polishing motor passes through the interior of the vertical sleeve and is connected to the polishing base 42.
[0125] In some embodiments, a second water receiving tank 492 is also provided on the first polishing substation 401. The second water receiving tank 492 is mounted on the first connecting block 4411 via a suspension and is located below the first extrusion roller 4811. It is used to receive the water generated by the first extrusion roller 4811 extruding the first polishing sponge 461. A second drain pipe communicating with the second water receiving tank 492 is provided on the side of the second water receiving tank 492 away from the polishing base 42. The second drain pipe extends downward into the first water receiving tank 491 to guide the water in the second water receiving tank 492 into the first water receiving tank 491.
[0126] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1To further optimize the polishing effect of the preform 9, two consecutive bottle polishing stations 4 are set up on the workbench 8 to form a graded polishing process. The difference between the two stations is that the parameters of the polishing sponge are different. The first bottle polishing station 4 uses a polishing sponge with a lower mesh count (coarser polishing particles), while the second bottle polishing station 4 uses a polishing sponge with a higher mesh count (finer polishing particles). The preform 9 is polished through coarse polishing and fine polishing in steps.
[0127] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The work station also includes a bottle bottom cleaning station 5, which is located between the bottle polishing station 4 and the unloading station 6. The bottle bottom cleaning station 5 is equipped with a cleaning base 51, a lifting mechanism 52, and a bottle bottom cleaning mechanism 53.
[0128] The cleaning base 51 is installed on the workbench 8 to support and place the preform 9. The lifting mechanism 52 is mounted above the cleaning base 51 via the second support frame 54, and its actuating end is equipped with a clamping assembly for clamping and fixing the preform 9. In specific implementation, the lifting mechanism 52 uses a vertically arranged cylinder with the driving end facing downwards and a connecting seat 521 installed on the driving end; the clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder 522 and clamping blocks 523. The clamping cylinder 522 is a pneumatic gripper with both clamping ends facing downwards. The two clamping blocks 523 are respectively connected to the two clamping ends of the pneumatic gripper, and the two clamping blocks 523 have slots on opposite sides that are adapted to the outer contour of the preform 9 to achieve close clamping of the preform 9.
[0129] The bottle bottom cleaning mechanism 53 is located on the workbench 8, to the side of the cleaning base 51, and includes an assembly base 531, a straight rail 532, a sliding seat 533, a drive cylinder 534, and cleaning components. The assembly base 531 is fixed to the workbench 8, and the straight rail 532 is fixedly mounted on it. The sliding seat 533 is slidably fitted to the straight rail 532. The drive cylinder 534 is installed at one end of the straight rail 532, and its drive end is connected to the sliding seat 533, used to drive the sliding seat 533 to slide back and forth along the straight rail 532. The cleaning components are mounted on the sliding seat 533 via a plate, and include a connecting shaft 536 and a cleaning roller 535. The connecting shaft 536 is arranged laterally, with one end fixed to the sliding seat 533 and the other end extending to the side above the cleaning base 51. The cleaning roller 535 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 536 and rotates with the connecting shaft 536 through a bearing. The outer circumference of the cleaning roller 535 is wrapped with absorbent materials such as absorbent cloth.
[0130] The installation height of the cleaning roller 535 is configured such that when the lifting mechanism 52 lifts the preform 9 to a preset height, the cleaning roller 535 is located between the cleaning base 51 and the preform 9, and can simultaneously contact the bottom of the preform 9 and the surface of the cleaning base 51.
[0131] The bottle bottom cleaning station 5 is also equipped with a third water receiving tank 55. The cleaning base 51 is located in the third water receiving tank 55, and the height of the cleaning base 51 is greater than the depth of the third water receiving tank 55. The third water receiving tank 55 is used to receive the residual water dripping from the bottle preform 9.
[0132] In application, after the transfer mechanism 7 moves the polished bottle preform 9 to the bottle bottom cleaning station 5, the lifting mechanism 52 drives the clamping assembly to descend, and the pneumatic gripper drives the clamping block 523 to close, clamping the bottle preform 9 against the outer wall through the slot. Then, the lifting mechanism 52 moves upward, raising the bottle preform 9 to a preset height, creating a working gap between the bottle bottom and the cleaning base 51. Then, the drive cylinder 534 starts, driving the sliding seat 533 to slide back and forth along the straight rail 532, thereby driving the cleaning roller 535 to move back and forth synchronously, so that the cleaning roller 535 simultaneously abuts against the bottle bottom and the surface of the cleaning base 51. In conjunction with the peripheral water absorption component, the residual water on the bottle bottom and the surface of the cleaning base 51 is absorbed and wiped clean. After the cleaning operation is completed, the drive cylinder 534 stops and drives the sliding seat 533 to reset; the lifting mechanism 52 moves down and puts the bottle preform 9 back on the cleaning base 51. The pneumatic gripper drives the clamping block 523 to open and release the bottle preform 9; throughout the cleaning process, the water dripping from the bottle preform 9 and the water wiped by the cleaning roller 535 fall into the third water receiving tank 55 for collection. Finally, the transfer mechanism 7 transfers the bottle preform 9 to the unloading station 6 to complete the entire bottle bottom cleaning process.
[0133] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The unloading station 6 is equipped with an unloading base 61, which is used to temporarily place the qualified bottle preforms 9 that have been shaped. They will be transferred to the next production process by unloading robot or manual removal. At the same time, the unloading base 61 reserves the corresponding station space for the subsequent transfer of bottle preforms 9 to be shaped.
[0134] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 8 to 10 The transfer mechanism 7 is arranged on the workbench 8 and consists of a guide rail 71, a sliding seat 72, a transfer driver 73, and multiple grippers 74. The guide rail 71 extends along the layout direction of each work station, covering all work stations and providing linear guidance for the transfer of preforms 9. The sliding seat 72 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 71 and can move smoothly back and forth along the guide rail 71. The transfer driver 73 is mounted on the workbench 8, and its drive end is connected to the sliding seat 72. It can be an electric telescopic rod, telescopic cylinder, etc., and its drive stroke is matched with the distance between adjacent work stations to ensure that the sliding seat 72 moves exactly the standard distance between work stations each time, realizing precise jumps between preform 9 work stations.
[0135] Multiple grippers 74 are uniformly installed on the sliding seat 72. The number of grippers 74 is the same as the number of work stations except for the unloading station 6. Their positions correspond one-to-one with each work station. They can simultaneously grip the bottle preforms 9 on the corresponding work station, realizing the synchronous transfer of bottle preforms 9 across multiple work stations.
[0136] In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the sliding seat 72 is the conveying direction of the preform 9, and the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction in the horizontal plane is the direction in which the clamping hand 74 approaches or moves away from the preform 9.
[0137] The clamping hand 74 specifically includes a mounting base 741, a first driver 742, a second driver 743, a third driver 744, and clamping blocks 745. The mounting base 741 is slidably mounted on the sliding seat 72 along the vertical conveying direction; the first driver 742 is a cylinder, with its fixed end connected to the sliding seat 72 and its driving end connected to the mounting base 741, used to drive the mounting base 741 to move the clamping structure closer to or away from the preform 9; the second driver 743 is a lifting cylinder, fixedly mounted on the mounting base 741, and its driving end is provided with a vertically movable support seat; the third driver 744 is a pneumatic gripper, mounted on the support seat of the lifting cylinder; there are two clamping blocks 745, respectively connected to the two moving ends of the pneumatic gripper, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 745 are provided with slots that fit the contour of the preform 9, which can fit and clamp the preform 9 to avoid deformation or damage to the preform 9 during transportation.
[0138] The transfer process for preform 9 is as follows: The third actuator 744 first drives the two clamping blocks 745 to open up to form a clamping space; the first actuator 742 drives the mounting base 741 to slide towards the corresponding station, so that the preform 9 enters the clamping space; the third actuator 744 drives the clamping blocks 745 to move closer to each other, and clamps the preform 9 by fitting it against the bottle body through the slot; the second actuator 743 drives the carrier to lift vertically, lifting the preform 9 from the station base; the transfer actuator 73 drives the sliding seat 72 to move along the guide rail 71 by a fixed stroke, and each clamping hand 74 simultaneously moves the preform 9 to the top of the next station; the second actuator 743 drives the carrier to descend, and places the preform 9 smoothly on the next station base; the third actuator 744 drives the clamping blocks 745 to release the preform 9, and the first actuator 742 drives the mounting base 741 to retract and reset, completing a single station transfer.
[0139] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
