Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass bottle bursting processing, and in particular to a glass bottle bursting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of glass bottles, it is often necessary to remove the excess portion at the bottle neck by heating it with a high-temperature flame. This process is called "mouth bursting." Besides eliminating the excess portion, mouth bursting also makes the bottle neck smoother.

[0003] In the past, the transfer of glass bottle preforms between various processing units in the bursting processing equipment required manual handling. However, manual handling was time-consuming and labor-intensive. To improve production efficiency, gantry cranes are now often used to transport glass bottle preforms. However, gantry crane handling has several drawbacks. First, gantry cranes require a large amount of space, and they can only transport in a straight line. If the relevant processing units are not on the same straight line, the gantry crane will have difficulty transporting them. Second, the positions of glass bottle preforms transferred from other processing units are often not exactly the same, which can easily lead to differences in the processing position of the glass bottle preforms transferred to the bursting processing equipment each time. This results in significant differences between different finished products and makes it difficult to guarantee processing stability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass bottle bursting mechanism and its processing method, which can solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a glass bottle bursting mechanism is provided, comprising a frame, a bursting mechanism, a robotic arm device, a correction mechanism, a glass drop sensing mechanism, and a pinching mechanism. The robotic arm, the bursting mechanism, the glass droplet sensing mechanism, and the pinching mechanism are respectively connected to the frame. The robotic arm is equipped with an adsorption mechanism, and the glass droplet sensing mechanism is located between the bursting mechanism and the pinching mechanism. The correction mechanism includes a platform, a swing mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The swing mechanism is connected to the frame, the platform is connected to the swing mechanism, and the lifting mechanism and the clamping mechanism are respectively connected to the platform.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this glass bottle bursting mechanism are: In this glass bottle bursting mechanism, a robotic arm device is set up to replace the traditional gantry frame to facilitate the transfer of glass bottle preforms. It has a smaller footprint and greater flexibility, and can better match the positions of various mechanisms within the bursting processing equipment, as well as the relative positions of the glass bottle preform conveying equipment and the bursting processing equipment. In addition, this glass bottle bursting mechanism is equipped with a correction mechanism, which can adjust the position of the glass bottle preforms transported from the outside, so that the glass bottle preforms can be adjusted to a specific position. This not only facilitates the use of the robotic arm, but also ensures that the position of the glass bottle preforms picked up by the robotic arm is the same each time. This ensures that when the robotic arm finally transports the glass bottle preforms to the bursting processing equipment, the position of the glass bottle preforms and the clamping position of the bursting mechanism can be fully matched, thereby effectively ensuring the accuracy and quality of subsequent bursting processing. The swing mechanism allows the stage to swing after the glass bottle preforms are moved away from the correction mechanism, so as to avoid the residue of excess material on the stage, which would affect the subsequent setting of the glass bottle preforms on the stage.

[0007] Meanwhile, this glass bottle bursting mechanism is also equipped with a glass droplet sensing mechanism, which allows the robotic arm to adjust the orientation of the glass bottle preform in a timely manner according to the position of the glass droplets generated during processing, so as to ensure that the orientation of the glass bottle preform meets the processing needs of the pinching mechanism.

One end of the connecting block is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is hinged to the swing cylinder. The rotating shaft is connected to a platform.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rocking mechanism includes a bearing and a support, a connecting shaft is provided on the rocking cylinder, the bearing is connected to the support, the connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the bearing, and the support is connected to the frame.

Both the connecting member and the nut are connected to the clamping cylinder. The first and second clamping blocks are respectively connected to the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder can drive the first and second clamping blocks to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions to achieve clamping or releasing actions. During the movement of the first and second clamping blocks, they can also move the glass bottle preform between them to correct the position of the glass bottle preform.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adsorption mechanism includes a suction cup, an adsorption cylinder, and a connecting frame. The adsorption cylinder is connected to the connecting frame, which is connected to a robotic arm device. The adsorption cylinder is connected to the suction cup.

The first lateral drive mechanism and the first longitudinal drive mechanism can adjust the position of the dressing wheel, while the second lateral drive mechanism, the second longitudinal drive mechanism, and the rotating mechanism can adjust the position of the flame injector.

[0015] In some embodiments, the pinching mechanism includes a support plate, a third lateral drive mechanism, a lifting cylinder, a connecting rod, and a pressure block. The third lateral drive mechanism is mounted on the frame and connected to the support plate. The lifting cylinder is connected to the pressure block via the connecting rod. The support plate supports the glass preform after it has burst open. The lifting cylinder drives the pressure block to move, pressing down on the glass preform on the support plate to prevent accidental movement during processing. The third lateral drive mechanism adjusts the position of the support plate, thereby adjusting the position of the glass preform to better match different pinching processing needs.

[0016] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for processing glass bottles using a glass bursting mechanism is provided, comprising the following steps: The swing mechanism swings the platform to remove any residue before resetting the platform. Place the initial glass preform with its neck facing down on the stage. The lifting mechanism lifts the initial glass bottle preform to the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism drives the initial glass preform to the adsorption position and clamps the initial glass preform. The robotic arm moves the initial glass bottle preform to the venting mechanism. The blasting mechanism clamps the initial glass preform and performs a blasting process on it to obtain a blasted glass preform, which has glass droplets. The glass droplet sensing mechanism can sense the position of the glass droplet. The robotic arm adjusts the orientation of the bursting glass bottle preform based on the position of the glass droplet sensed by the glass droplet sensing mechanism, and then moves the bursting glass bottle preform to the pinching mechanism. The pinching mechanism pinches the mouth of the burst glass bottle preform to obtain a glass bottle.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this glass bottle processing method using a glass bursting mechanism are as follows: In this processing method, the lifting mechanism lifts the glass bottle preform so that its height matches that of the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism drives the glass bottle preform to move so that the position of the glass bottle preform transported by the robotic arm is the same each time. A glass drop sensing mechanism is set between the bursting mechanism and the pinching mechanism, which facilitates the robotic arm to adjust the position of the bursting glass bottle preform so that its orientation meets the processing requirements of the pinching mechanism.

In this embodiment, it is preferred that the lead screws on adjacent lead screw and nut mechanisms 22 are connected to the same rotating shaft through a bevel gear set, and the drive motor 23 is connected to any rotating shaft through a reducer.

[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, the structures of the first transverse drive mechanism 73, the first longitudinal drive mechanism 74, the second transverse drive mechanism 75, and the second longitudinal drive mechanism 76 are similar, each including a lead screw and nut mechanism and a motor. The motor can drive the lead screw and nut mechanism to work, and its lead screw and nut mechanism is similar to the lead screw and nut mechanism 22 in the bursting mechanism 2. The lead screws in the first transverse drive mechanism 73 and the second transverse drive mechanism 75 are arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, and the lead screws in the first longitudinal drive mechanism 74 and the second longitudinal drive mechanism 76 are arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0046] The rotating mechanism 77 includes a rotating motor, a rotating shaft, and a support block.

The rotating motor body is fixed on the support block, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft, so that the rotating motor can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The flame-throwing component 72 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating mechanism 77 by screws.

[0047] The lead screw and nut mechanisms on the first transverse drive mechanism 73 and the second transverse drive mechanism 75 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 78, and the connecting plate 78 is connected to the frame 1.

At the same time, the slider on the third transverse mechanism 702 is connected to the support plate 701 through a connecting block. The support plate 701 can be movably embedded in the frame 1. The support plate 701 has a through hole. When the glass bottle preform is inverted and placed on the support plate 701, its bottle mouth can communicate with the through hole. The through hole facilitates the insertion of the trimming wheel 71 to facilitate the contact between the trimming wheel 71 and the bottle mouth of the glass bottle preform. The lifting cylinder 703 is connected to the pressure block 705 through a connecting rod 704. The pressure block 705 is equipped with a spring to facilitate the uniformity of the pressure when the pressure block 705 applies pressure.

[0049] Example 2 refer to Figures 1-9 This embodiment describes a method for processing a glass bottle bursting mechanism, wherein the glass bottle bursting mechanism is preferably the one described in Embodiment 1. The processing method includes the following steps: The swing mechanism 42 swings the platform 41 to remove residues from it before resetting the platform 41. Preferably, the piston rod of the swing cylinder 421 on the swing mechanism 42 can extend and retract, and the extension and retraction of the piston rod can drive the rotating shaft 422 to rotate through the connecting block 423. The platform 41 connected to the rotating shaft 422 can then rotate accordingly to achieve the swing action. The platform 41 swings to allow residues to slide off and be removed. After the residues are removed, the swing cylinder 421 can reset to reset the platform 41, at which point the platform 41 can be set parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0050] An initial glass bottle preform with its bottle neck facing downwards is placed on the stage 41. The initial glass bottle preform can be transported to the stage 41 with its bottle neck facing downwards by an external conveying device, such as an external mechanical hand device or an external belt conveyor. Preferably, the bottle neck of the initial glass bottle preform placed on the stage 41 is aligned with the through hole 411, that is, the interior of the initial glass bottle preform is connected to the through hole 411.

[0051] The lifting mechanism 43 lifts the initial glass bottle preform to the clamping mechanism 44. Preferably, the electric push rod 431 on the lifting mechanism 43 is operable, so that the rod 432 passes through the through hole 411 and extends into the interior of the initial glass bottle preform. As the rod 432 continues to move, it will abut against the bottom wall inside the initial glass bottle preform. At this time, the initial glass bottle preform can move with the movement of the rod 432 until the initial glass bottle preform reaches the clamping position of the clamping mechanism 44, at which point the operation of the electric push rod 431 stops.

[0052] The clamping mechanism 44 drives the initial glass bottle preform to the adsorption position and clamps the initial glass bottle preform. Preferably, the clamping cylinder 441 on the clamping mechanism 4 can drive the first clamping block 442 and the second clamping block 443 to move towards each other. During the movement of the first clamping block 442 and the second clamping block 443, the first clamping block 442 or the second clamping block 443 will contact the initial glass bottle preform and drive the initial glass bottle preform to move together until the first clamping block 442 and the second clamping block 443 jointly contact the initial glass bottle preform. At this time, the first clamping block 442 and the second clamping block 443 can clamp the initial glass bottle preform, and the initial glass bottle preform will be located at the adsorption position.

[0053] A robotic arm 3 drives the adsorption mechanism 5 to move to the correction mechanism 4, whereby the adsorption mechanism 5 adsorbs the initial glass bottle preform. Preferably, when the robotic arm 3 can move the adsorption mechanism 5 to the correction mechanism 4, the suction cup 51 on the adsorption mechanism 5 is positioned above the initial glass bottle preform. The adsorption cylinder 52 can drive the suction cup 51 to move downward, so that the suction cup 51 descends to abut against the initial glass bottle preform, thereby adsorbing the initial glass bottle preform. Afterward, the clamping mechanism 44 and the electric push rod 431 can be reset, and the adsorption cylinder 52 can drive the suction cup 51 to move upward, so that the initial glass bottle preform also moves upward, thereby causing the initial glass bottle preform to leave the clamping position of the first clamping block 442 and the second clamping block 443.

[0054] The robotic arm 3 drives the adsorption mechanism 5, along with the initial glass bottle preform, to move to the bursting mechanism 2. Preferably, the initial glass bottle preform can be moved to the center of the fire ring that can be formed by assembling the four unit fire rings 21.

[0055] The bursting mechanism 2 clamps the initial glass bottle preform. Preferably, the drive motor 23 can simultaneously drive the four lead screw and nut mechanisms 22 to work, so that the unit fire rings 21 are combined to form a complete fire ring, and at this time the four unit fire rings can jointly clamp the initial glass bottle preform, and at this time the adsorption mechanism 5 on the robot arm device 3 can leave the initial glass bottle preform.

[0056] The fire ring can then form a cutting flame to blast the initial glass bottle preform, resulting in a blasted glass bottle preform with glass droplets.

[0057] After the bursting process is completed, another robotic arm 3 can drive the adsorption mechanism 5 on it to adsorb the bursting glass bottle preform, and the robotic arm 3 can move the bursting glass bottle preform through the sensing space of the glass drop sensing mechanism 6, so that the glass drop sensing mechanism 6 can sense the position of the glass drop on the bursting glass bottle preform.

[0058] The robotic arm 3 adjusts the orientation of the bursting glass bottle preform according to the position of the glass droplet sensed by the glass droplet sensing mechanism, so that the orientation of the bursting glass bottle preform can meet the needs of subsequent pinching processing.

[0059] The robotic arm 3 moves the oriented, pre-formed glass bottle with the vented opening to the pinching mechanism 7. Preferably, the third lateral drive mechanism 702 can adjust the position of the support plate 701 so that the center of the support plate 701 is away from directly below the pressure block 705. The robotic arm 3 places the pre-formed glass bottle with the vented opening onto the support plate 701. Then, the third lateral drive mechanism 702 can drive the support plate 701 to move so that the pre-formed glass bottle with the vented opening is below the pressure block 705. After the position of the pre-formed glass bottle with the vented opening meets the processing requirements, the lifting cylinder 703 can drive the pressure block 705 to move and press it onto the pre-formed glass bottle with the vented opening, thereby fixing the pre-formed glass bottle with the vented opening onto the support plate 701.

[0060] The pinching mechanism 7 then pinches the ruptured glass bottle preform. Specifically, the second transverse drive mechanism 75, the second longitudinal drive mechanism 76, and the rotation mechanism 77 can operate to adjust the position of the flame-spraying component 72. The flame-spraying component can spray flames to heat and soften the area of ​​the ruptured glass bottle preform that needs to be processed. The first transverse drive mechanism 73 and the first longitudinal drive mechanism 74 can operate to drive the trimming wheel 71 to move, thereby adjusting the shape of the softened area of ​​the ruptured glass bottle preform to achieve pinching, and finally obtain the glass bottle.

[0061] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
