Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bottle unscrambler technology, and more specifically to a bottle unscrambler with adaptive adjustment of bottle posture. Background Technology
[0002] A bottle unscrambler, also known as a bottle orientation machine, is used to orient bottles.
[0003] In existing filling equipment, the bottles are transported in a straight line after filling. At the end of the transport line, the bottles tend to accumulate during packing, resulting in low packing efficiency.
[0004] Chinese Patent Application No. 202510943516.8 discloses a bottle-separating device for a conveyor belt, including a frame. A conveyor is rotatably mounted inside the frame. A first baffle is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the frame, and a second baffle is fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the frame. A flow-guiding structure is provided on one side of the first baffle above the conveyor, and a separation structure is fixedly installed on the top of the frame on one side of the reserved groove. This invention, by incorporating the separation structure, allows the bottles to be separated as they are conveyed to one side of the separation disc. The movement of the bottles causes the separation disc to rotate around a connecting column, separating the bottles and ensuring they are conveyed at equal intervals. When a bottle jams, excessive pressure on the separation disc causes the connecting rod to move a reset plate within a limiting seat, preventing excessive pressure from causing bottle breakage and avoiding motor burnout or damage to mechanical parts, thus extending the service life of the bottle-separating device for the conveyor belt.
[0005] However, the Chinese patent with application number 202510943516.8 only has the function of separating bottles, and cannot change the bottle body from a single column to multiple columns, which easily causes the bottle to compress.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle unscrambler that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems by adaptively adjusting the bottle posture.
[0008] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted: A bottle unscrambler with adaptive bottle posture adjustment includes: a dispensing mechanism and a positioning mechanism; The dispensing mechanism includes: a dispensing rotating body, a drive motor that drives the dispensing rotating body to rotate, a fixing component installed on the dispensing rotating body, and a control panel that controls the fixing component to fix the bottle body. The alignment mechanism includes: a bracket, a partition plate fixedly installed on the bracket, and a channel formed between two adjacent partition plates; a pre-alignment component is provided upstream of the channel; The dispensing rotating body has a receiving cavity for accommodating bottles. Each receiving cavity is equipped with a fixing component, which clamps and fixes the bottle. The control panel controls whether the fixing component fixes the bottle at different positions, thus turning a single row of bottles into multiple rows.
[0009] Furthermore: the fixing assembly consists of a lateral clamping member, a first elastic member, a lateral moving arm, a forward moving sleeve, a vertical moving rod, and a second elastic member. The first elastic member is sleeved on the lateral clamping member, and the lateral clamping member is connected to the lateral moving arm. When the lateral clamps move to both sides and the first elastic element is in a compressed state, the distance between the two lateral clamps is greater than the diameter of the bottle.
[0010] Furthermore, a connecting arm is fixedly connected to the lateral clamping member, and the lateral moving arm drives the lateral clamping member to move through the connecting arm.
[0011] Furthermore: the vertical moving rod is inserted into the forward moving sleeve and slides in contact with the forward moving sleeve; a side push block is integrally installed on the vertical moving rod; a through hole is opened on the forward moving sleeve; the side push block has a first inclined surface; and a second inclined surface matching the first inclined surface is provided on the lateral moving arm.
[0012] Furthermore: a lateral fixing sleeve is integrally connected to the forward moving sleeve, and the lateral moving arm is inserted into the lateral fixing sleeve and slides in contact with the lateral fixing sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore: a first upper block is integrally mounted on the control panel. The upper surface of the first upper block is divided into a first inclined section, a horizontal section, and a second inclined section. When the vertical moving rod is on the horizontal section, the lateral clamping members move away from each other.
[0014] Furthermore: the control panel is integrally provided with multiple tracks, the first upper top block is located in the track, the control panel is integrally provided with a second upper top block, and the lower end of the vertical moving rod is fixedly connected with a guide rod, which is inserted into the track.
[0015] Furthermore: a pushing section is provided on the track, the pushing section is arc-shaped, when the guide rod moves in the pushing section, the forward moving sleeve moves forward, a connecting fixing rod is fixedly connected to the forward moving sleeve, and a contact pushing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting fixing rod.
[0016] Furthermore: a guide groove is provided on the connecting arm, and push-pull plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the end of the lateral moving arm. The lateral moving arm is inserted into the guide groove and slides in contact with the connecting arm.
[0017] Furthermore: the pre-alignment component includes: a mounting frame, a guide mounting rod fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, a slider slidably mounted on the guide mounting rod, a guide frame fixedly mounted on the slider, a fixed side plate fixedly mounted on the guide frame, a sliding side plate slidably mounted on the guide frame, a cylinder connected to the fixed side plate for driving its movement, a guide component fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, an inclined groove formed on the guide component, a guide block integrally connected to the sliding side plate, the guide block being inserted into the inclined groove and slidingly contacting the guide component.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides a bottle unscrambler with adaptive bottle posture adjustment. When a bottle enters the receiving cavity, the fixing component clamps and fixes the bottle so as to drive the bottle to rotate. The control panel controls whether the fixing component fixes the bottle. At different positions, the fixing component is controlled to stop fixing the bottle, changing a single row of bottles into multiple rows to prevent the bottles from piling up.
[0019] 2. The bottle unscrambler of the present invention has an adaptive adjustment mechanism for bottle posture. The guide rod is inserted into the track. On the one hand, the guide rod moves within the track to position the dispensing rotating body. On the other hand, when the guide rod passes over the first upper block and the second upper block, the lateral moving arm can move.
[0020] 3. The bottle unscrambler of the present invention with adaptive adjustment of bottle posture has two functions in the track. First, it causes the vertical moving rod to move upward, and through the vertical moving rod, the lateral moving arm moves, so that the lateral clamping member no longer fixes the bottle. Second, under the action of the arc-shaped pushing section, the vertical moving rod moves towards the bottle, driving the forward moving sleeve to move, thereby pushing the bottle to move.

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.
[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "longitudinal," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention. When a component is referred to as being "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.
[0038] After the first sorting, the bottles change from a chaotic state to a single straight line running along a fixed route, which facilitates filling. However, after filling, the single straight line will cause the bottles to pile up at the packing point, causing blockages and making packing inconvenient. In addition, the bottles will collide and be damaged. At the same time, the material distribution line is relatively wide, and single-line transportation will reduce the efficiency of the material distribution line.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the bottle unscrambler with adaptive bottle posture adjustment of the present invention includes: a dispensing mechanism 400 and a positioning mechanism 500; the dispensing mechanism 400 divides a single row of filled bottles into multiple rows of bottles, and the positioning mechanism 500 adjusts the posture of the multiple rows of bottles so that the bottles move along multiple fixed straight lines, avoiding the bottles from piling up together during packing, and facilitating automated packing by the packing mechanism 700.
[0040] The dispensing mechanism 400 includes: a dispensing rotating body 401, a drive motor 402 that drives the dispensing rotating body 401 to rotate, a fixing component 403 installed on the dispensing rotating body 401, and a control disk 404 that controls the fixing component 403 to fix the bottle body.
[0041] The dispensing rotating body 401 has a receiving cavity 405 for accommodating bottles. The bottles enter the receiving cavity 405. There are multiple receiving cavities 405, and each receiving cavity 405 is equipped with a fixing component 403. The fixing component 403 clamps and fixes the bottle so as to drive the bottle to rotate. The control panel 404 can control whether the fixing component 403 fixes the bottle. Thus, this application can control the fixing component 403 to stop fixing the bottle at different positions. That is to say, a single row of bottles can be converted into multiple rows to prevent the bottles from piling up.
[0042] The fixing assembly 403 consists of a lateral clamping member 406, a first elastic member 407, a lateral moving arm 408, a forward moving sleeve 409, a vertical moving rod 410, and a second elastic member 411. One end of the lateral clamping member 406 can be configured as an arc-shaped panel, which contacts the bottle body. A rubber pad can be fixedly installed on the arc-shaped panel to increase the friction between the arc-shaped panel and the bottle body. The first elastic member 407 is preferably a spring. The first elastic member 407 is sleeved on the lateral clamping member 406, so that the first elastic member 407 can push the lateral clamping member 406 towards the center. That is, when the first elastic member 407 is in a free state, the distance between the two lateral clamping members 406 is less than the diameter of the bottle body. The lateral clamping member 406 is connected to the lateral moving arm 408. The lateral moving arm 408 drives the lateral clamping members 406 on both sides to move to both sides, so that the lateral clamping members 406... When the two lateral clamping members 406 are separated and in an open state, the first elastic member 407 is in a compressed state, and the distance between the two lateral clamping members 406 is greater than the diameter of the bottle, making it easier for the bottle to enter the receiving cavity 405. Then, the lateral clamping members 406 on both sides move towards the middle to fix the bottle so as to drive the bottle to move. When it moves to a suitable position, the vertical moving rod 410 moves within the forward moving sleeve 409, driving the lateral moving arm 408 to move, so that the lateral clamping members 406 no longer fix the bottle, making it easier for the bottle to move.
[0043] It should be added here that the lateral clamping member 406 is divided into a fixed member 412 and a movable member 413. The fixed member 412 is fixedly connected to the material distributing rotating body 401. The first elastic member 407 is disposed on the fixed member 412. The movable member 413 is in sliding contact with the fixed member 412. The first elastic member 407 pushes the movable member 413 to move.
[0044] As a further improvement of the present invention, a protrusion 414 is integrally installed on the fixing member 412. The protrusion 414 is inserted into the slot of the moving member 413. The function of the protrusion 414 is to prevent the moving member 413 from shaking during movement. That is, when the fixing member 412 is cylindrical, the protrusion 414 is fixedly installed on the fixing member 412, which can play a positioning role.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, a connecting arm 415 is fixedly connected to the movable member 413, and the lateral movable arm 408 drives the movable member 413 to move through the connecting arm 415.
[0046] The forward moving sleeve 409 is hollow, and the vertical moving rod 410 is inserted into the forward moving sleeve 409 and slides in contact with the forward moving sleeve 409. The forward moving sleeve 409 plays a positioning role for the movement of the vertical moving rod 410.
[0047] A side push block 416 is integrally mounted on the vertical moving rod 410. A through hole is provided on the forward moving sleeve 409. The side push block 416 has a first inclined surface 417. The lateral moving arm 408 is provided with a second inclined surface 418 that matches the first inclined surface 417. That is, when the vertical moving rod 410 moves upward, the first inclined surface 417 pushes the second inclined surface 418, causing the lateral moving arm 408 to move to both sides.
[0048] In this application, a lateral fixing sleeve 419 is integrally connected to the forward moving sleeve 409, and the lateral moving arm 408 is inserted into the lateral fixing sleeve 419 and slides in contact with the lateral fixing sleeve 419; an elongated hole 420 is provided on the lateral fixing sleeve 419 and the lateral moving arm 408, and a positioning rod is inserted into the elongated hole 420. The positioning rod can prevent the lateral moving arm 408 from rotating in the lateral fixing sleeve 419.
[0049] The lateral moving arm 408 is divided into a contact portion 421 and a connecting portion 422. The diameter of the connecting portion 422 is smaller than the diameter of the contact portion 421. The connecting portion 422 is connected to the connecting arm 415. The contact portion 421 is inserted into the forward moving sleeve 409. A locking seat 423 is detachably connected to the lateral fixing sleeve 419. During installation, the locking seat 423 is opened and the lateral moving arm 408 is inserted into the lateral fixing sleeve 419. The locking seat 423 is provided with a through hole. The contact portion 421 can pass through the through hole, but the contact portion 421 cannot pass through the through hole. A third elastic element 424 is placed inside the lateral fixing sleeve 419. The third elastic element 424 is preferably a spring. The third elastic element 424 plays a reset role.
[0050] In this application, controlling the vertical moving rod 410 to move upward at different positions can control the movement of the lateral moving arm 408, so that the lateral clamping member 406 no longer fixes the bottle body, facilitating the movement of the bottle body; a first upper block 425 is integrally installed on the control panel 404. When the vertical moving rod 410 moves to the first upper block 425, it will move upward. The upper surface of the first upper block 425 is divided into a first inclined section 426, a horizontal section 427, and a second inclined section 428. The first inclined section 426 and the second inclined section 428 facilitate the vertical moving rod 410 to move up and down the horizontal section 427. When the vertical moving rod 410 is on the horizontal section 427, the fixing component 403 is in the open state.
[0051] As a further improvement of this application, the control panel 404 is integrally provided with multiple tracks 429, the first upper block 425 is located in the track 429, and the control panel 404 is integrally provided with a second upper block. The second upper block is used to move the lateral moving arm 408 when the bottle enters the receiving cavity 405. Its shape and principle are the same as the first upper block 425, and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] In one embodiment, a guide rod 431 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical moving rod 410. The guide rod 431 is inserted into the track 429. On the one hand, the guide rod 431 moves within the track 429 to position the material dispensing rotating body 401. On the other hand, when the guide rod 431 passes over the first upper block 425 and the second upper block, the lateral moving arm 408 can move.
[0053] The lower end of the forward moving sleeve 409 is threadedly connected to a locking sleeve 432. The locking sleeve 432 has multiple mounting holes 433. The vertical moving rod 410 has a threaded cavity, which corresponds to the mounting holes 433. The guide rod 431 can be screwed upward into the threaded cavity. Because the vertical moving rod 410 is relatively thick (in order to allow the lateral moving arm 408 to have a suitable moving distance), the thinner guide rod 431 can prevent the tracks 429 from interfering with each other.
[0054] A contact plate 434 is integrally mounted on the guide rod 431. The second elastic element 411 is sleeved on the guide rod 431. The second elastic element 411 is preferably a spring. One end of the second elastic element 411 abuts against the contact plate 434, and the other end of the second elastic element 411 abuts against the locking sleeve 432. The second elastic element 411 is in a compressed state, and the spring always applies a downward elastic force to the contact plate 434.
[0055] The track 429 is provided with a pusher section 430, which is arc-shaped and specifically protrudes towards the bottle. When the guide rod 431 moves within the pusher section 430, it will cause the forward moving sleeve 409 to move forward, i.e., closer to the bottle, thereby pushing the bottle and causing it to quickly leave the receiving cavity 405, thus avoiding interference from the receiving cavity 405 on the movement of the bottle.
[0056] A connecting rod 435 is fixedly connected to the forward moving sleeve 409, and a contact pusher plate 436 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 435. When the bottle is fed, it will contact the contact pusher plate 436. The pusher section 430 is located at the first upper block 425, which facilitates pushing.
[0057] In other words, in this application, the track 429 has two functions. First, it causes the vertical moving rod 410 to move upward. Through the vertical moving rod 410, the lateral moving arm 408 moves, so that the lateral clamping member 406 no longer fixes the bottle. Second, under the action of the arc-shaped pushing section 430, the vertical moving rod 410 moves towards the bottle, driving the forward moving sleeve 409 to move, thereby pushing the bottle to move.
[0058] The connecting arm 415 has a guide groove 437. Push-pull plates 448 are fixedly connected to both sides of the guide groove 437 at the ends of the lateral moving arm 408. The lateral moving arm 408 is inserted into the guide groove 437 and slides in contact with the connecting arm 415. The push-pull plates 448 contact the connecting arm 415, and the connecting arm 415 positions the forward moving sleeve 409 by the guide groove 437.
[0059] During rotation, the dispensing tray places filled bottles at multiple locations, allowing the bottles to move along multiple designed straight lines, preventing them from piling up in one place. This significantly improves packing efficiency and effectively prevents bottles from colliding.
[0060] As the bottle accelerates from zero during movement, combined with the entire release process, the bottle will tilt in a straight line. The positioning mechanism 500 corrects this tilt, aligning the bottles in a straight line for easy packing.
[0061] It should also be noted that the material distributing rotating body 401 is formed by welding and fixing an upper plate and a lower plate. The drive motor 402 is mounted on a fixed frame, and the control panel 404 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame. The control panel 404 has a clearance hole in its center. The output shaft of the drive motor 402 is connected to the lower plate, so that the drive motor 402 can drive the material distributing rotating body 401 to rotate. A support positioning component is fixedly mounted on the upper plate. The support positioning component has a groove. The lateral fixing sleeve 419 is inserted into the groove and slides in contact with the groove. The support positioning component plays the role of vertical support and front-back positioning.
[0062] The positioning mechanism 500 includes: a bracket 501 and a partition plate 502 fixedly installed on the bracket 501. A channel 503 is formed between two adjacent partition plates 502, and the bottle moves within the channel 503.
[0063] The channel 503 serves as a guide for the bottle; a rubber pad can be attached to the partition plate 502 to provide cushioning and prevent damage when the bottle comes into contact with the partition plate 502.
[0064] In the running direction of the material distribution belt 600, the channel 503 has a gradually narrowing trend. The outlet of the channel 503 is slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle, so that the bottle gradually moves closer to the center of the channel 503 as it moves, which facilitates subsequent boxing.
[0065] In one embodiment, a pre-alignment component 504 is provided upstream of the channel 503. The pre-alignment component 504 includes: a mounting frame 505, a guide mounting rod 506 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 505, a slider 507 slidably mounted on the guide mounting rod 506, a guide frame 508 fixedly mounted on the slider 507, a fixed side plate 509 fixedly mounted on the guide frame 508, and a sliding side plate 510 slidably mounted on the guide frame 508. A cylinder 511 for driving the movement of the fixed side plate 509 is connected to the fixed side plate 509. A guide member 512 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 505. A groove 513 is formed on the guide member 512. A guide block 514 is integrally connected to the sliding side plate 510. The guide block 514 is inserted into the groove 513 and slides in contact with the guide member 512.
[0066] The mounting bracket 505 is fixedly installed on the distributing conveyor belt 600. The cylinder 511 drives the fixed side plate 509 to move, thereby driving the guide frame 508 to move. This causes the sliding side plate 510 on the guide frame 508 to move along the running direction of the distributing conveyor belt 600. The fixed side plate 509 is located in the middle of the sliding side plate 510. The inclined groove 513 causes the sliding side plate 510 to move closer to the fixed side plate 509 in the moving direction of the distributing conveyor belt 600, and vice versa. Thus, when the bottles enter the distributing conveyor belt 600, they are relatively dispersed. By driving the fixed side plate 509 to move through the cylinder 511, the distance between the fixed side plate 509 and the sliding side plate 510 or between the sliding side plates 510 can be changed. When the bottle touches the fixed side plate 509 or the sliding side plate 510, its position can be changed, realizing adaptive adjustment of the bottle's posture and playing a pre-alignment role, so that the bottle can enter the channel 503.
[0067] It should be noted that there are gaps between the lower ends of the fixed side plate 509, the sliding side plate 510, and the partition plate 502 and the material distribution belt 600.
[0068] In summary, the bottles first enter the feeding belt line 100 in the diagram. A material distribution turntable 200 is provided between the feeding belt line 100 and the filling belt line 300. The material distribution turntable 200 is used to arrange multiple bottles into a single queue. After entering the filling belt line 300, they are filled sequentially and then capped. This technology is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0069] When the bottle reaches the end of the filling conveyor belt 300, it is aligned with the railing. Then the filling conveyor belt 300 drives the bottle to continue moving, and the bottle enters the receiving cavity 405 and comes into contact with the contact pusher plate 436.
[0070] Reference Figure 10 The second upper block can be set at M and N. At this time, one of the guide rods 431 moves to the horizontal section 427 of the second upper block, so that the lateral clamping members 406 move away from each other, that is, the distance between the lateral clamping members 406 is greater than the diameter of the bottle, so that the bottle is conveniently positioned between the two lateral clamping members 406. At this time, the two lateral clamping members 406 and the contact push plate 436 make the bottle move along the width direction of the filling belt line 300, and the guide rod 431 moves into the track 429, so that the two lateral clamping members 406 move towards the middle to clamp and fix the bottle.
[0071] The drive motor 402 drives the dispensing rotating body 401 to rotate, so that the bottle enters different receiving cavities 405 in sequence and moves with the rotation of the dispensing rotating body 401. Different guide rods 431 slide in different tracks 429. Ball bearings can be installed at the ends of the guide rods 431 to change sliding into rolling in order to reduce friction.
[0072] Reference Figure 10 The first upper block 425 and the pushing section 430 are set in the same position, but in different positions on different tracks 429. That is, it is set at position m on one track 429 and at position n on another track 429. In conjunction with the installation position of the guide rod 431, material is released at different angles. The setting is based on the width of the material distribution belt line 600. Considering the avoidance of mutual interference between the tracks 429, it is generally set to three columns.
[0073] When the bottle enters the material distribution conveyor belt 600, it is relatively dispersed. The cylinder 511 drives the fixed side plate 509 to move, which can change the distance between the fixed side plate 509 and the sliding side plate 510 or between the sliding side plates 510. When the bottle touches the fixed side plate 509 or the sliding side plate 510, it can change its position, which plays a role in pre-alignment, so that the bottle can enter the channel 503.
[0074] As the bottle moves through channel 503, it gradually approaches the center of channel 503, facilitating automated packing by the packing mechanism 700.
