Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a variable pitch motor structure for a blow molding machine, and more particularly to a variable pitch motor structure for a blow molding machine that utilizes magnetic levitation technology to quickly and accurately transport bottle preforms. Background Technology

[0002] In the preform blow molding production line, the transportation and spacing control of preforms are key to ensuring product quality and production efficiency. If the preforms are too densely packed during the transportation process, they are prone to scratches and deformation. In addition, blow molding requires a certain amount of space to be maintained. The existing preform transportation structure changes the spacing of the preforms after transportation by means of screws, which is still not efficient enough and has concerns about long-term wear.

[0003] To ensure stable and precise spacing control of preforms during transport, magnetic levitation technology is an excellent solution. Compared to traditional mechanical transport, magnetic levitation eliminates the need for physical contact, effectively avoiding concerns about vibration and collision caused by friction. Furthermore, the magnetic levitation system can precisely control the magnetic field strength, achieving contactless driving and positioning during preform transport.

[0004] Therefore, based on years of experience, the inventor has designed this invention, conducted extensive research and sample testing, and made numerous revisions and improvements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a variable pitch motor structure for a blow molding machine, which utilizes magnetic levitation technology to quickly and accurately transport preforms, thereby reducing wear and efficiently and rapidly changing its pitch.

[0006] Technical characteristics of the problem-solving process:

[0007] This disclosure provides a variable pitch motor structure for a blow molding machine, which includes a variable pitch conveyor. The variable pitch conveyor has a magnetic levitation track and multiple clamps. Each clamp is provided with multiple magnetic elements that cooperate with the magnetic levitation track. The clamps are levitated and moved by magnetic force, thereby adjusting the spacing between the multiple clamps. Each clamp is provided with a chuck to hold multiple preforms. The magnetic levitation track controls the movement of the multiple clamps and widens the spacing between them.

[0008] Furthermore, a heating device conveys and heats the preform, multiple preforms are clamped by the chucks of the clamps, the magnetic levitation track controls the movement of the multiple clamps and widens the spacing between them, and then the preforms are placed on a blow molding die and the chucks are released to complete the conveying.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamp is provided with a magnetic control rod, and the variable pitch conveyor is provided with multiple magnetic control devices. When the magnetic control device is attracted to the magnetic control rod, it drives the clamp to close; when the magnetic control device is repelled by the magnetic control rod, it drives the clamp to open.

[0010] Alternatively, the magnetic levitation track is linear, and the magnetic levitation track controls the reciprocating movement of the clamp to hold and move the preform.

[0011] Alternatively, the magnetic levitation track is circular, which controls the clamp to move in a circular motion to hold and move the preform.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the clamp is provided with multiple guide wheels, and the variable pitch conveyor is provided with multiple positioning posts. The guide wheels rotate on the positioning posts to help the clamp be positioned when it moves.

[0013] The primary objective of this disclosure is to widen the spacing of the preforms, which were originally heated and densely conveyed on the heating device, by having them clamped by the clamps and then moving the clamps via the magnetic levitation track to adjust their spacing, and then placing the preforms on the blow molding die for subsequent blow molding processes. This widens the spacing of the preforms, and the variable pitch conveyor makes the transport and adjustment of the preform pitch faster, more convenient, and more efficient.

[0014] The second primary objective of this disclosure is that by using the magnetic levitation track in conjunction with the magnetic components of the clamp to move in a magnetic levitation manner and making its pitch variable, the preform can be transported stably, quickly, accurately, efficiently and with a variable pitch, while reducing the impact of friction, reducing energy consumption, and thus improving product quality.

[0015] Other objectives, advantages, and novelty of this disclosure will be further illustrated by the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Each clamp 12 is equipped with multiple magnetic elements 121 that cooperate with the magnetic levitation track 11. The clamp 12 is levitated and moved by magnetic force, thereby adjusting the spacing between the clamps 12.

[0043] With the above structure, the preform 30, which was originally heated and densely conveyed on the heating device 20, is clamped by the clamp 12. The clamp 12 is then moved via the magnetic levitation track 11 and its spacing is adjusted to widen the spacing of the clamp 12. The preform 30 is then placed on the blow molding die 40 for subsequent blow molding processes. This widens the spacing of the preform 30.

[0050] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this disclosure provides a variable pitch motor structure for a blow molding machine, wherein the blow molding die 40 actively approaches the clamp 12 to place the preform 30 on the blow molding die 40.
