Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of conveying devices, and in particular relates to an adjustable stable bottle conveying device. Background Art
[0002] In production lines for bottled products such as bottled medicines and beverages, it is necessary to transport bottled products via conveyor belts. At the entrance of some equipment, empty bottles need to be fed into star wheels for filling, or bottled products filled with liquids need to be fed into the equipment via star wheels for capping, surface cleaning, etc. Bottles are transported densely on conveyor belts to improve efficiency, but the side guards of the conveyor belt need to be narrowed before entering the equipment to achieve single-row transportation. When adjusting the side guards of the conveyor belt, if they are too narrow, bottles are easily stuck. If they are too wide, bottles will jump, and the notch position of the bottle and the star wheel will not be aligned, so they cannot be taken away by the star wheel smoothly. The star wheel position is where problems such as bottle jams often occur. Once a bottle jam or other failure occurs, it is necessary to shut down the machine and open the equipment door for processing. Some equipment requires aseptic operation, and the process of opening the door will affect aseptic operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to propose an adjustable stable bottle feeding device for the existing technology. When bottled products enter the star wheel of the equipment from the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt guardrail is not easy to adjust accurately, resulting in bottle jamming, bottle jumping and poor alignment, and it is difficult to solve the problems after the jamming and other faults occur. The utility model device can quickly and accurately adjust the width of the conveyor belt guardrail, reduce the problems of bottle jamming, bottle jumping and poor alignment, and can quickly and conveniently solve the faults when they occur, without affecting the sterile environment of the device.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] An adjustable stable bottle feeding device comprises a conveyor belt base, a conveyor belt and production equipment; the conveyor belt is arranged on the conveyor belt base; a bottle separating star wheel is arranged in the production equipment; the end of the conveyor belt extends into the entrance of the production equipment; fixed guardrails and movable guardrails are respectively arranged on both sides of the front end of the conveyor belt; an adjustment support frame is arranged on the conveyor belt base on one side of the fixed guardrail; an adjustment block is arranged on the movable guardrail; an adjustment screw is arranged on the adjustment support frame; the adjustment screw passes through the adjustment support frame and the adjustment block in sequence; a limit plate is arranged on the conveyor belt base on one side of the movable guardrail; limit holes are arranged on the limit plate; and a limit column is detachably provided in the limit hole.
[0006] The conveyor belt base is used to install and support the conveyor belt; on some production lines that require a sterile environment for production, a sealing chamber is also provided on the conveyor belt to seal the entire conveyor belt and carry out production in a sealed and sterile environment; the end of the conveyor belt passes into the entrance of the production equipment to send the bottled products to the next production equipment; the adjustment block is a movable screw nut, and the fixed guardrail is stationary. By rotating the adjustment screw, the adjustment block can move back and forth, thereby driving the movable guardrail to move, thereby adjusting the width between the fixed guardrail and the movable guardrail, so that the bottled products can pass well in a single row; after the limiting hole of the limiting plate is inserted into the limiting column, the movable guardrail is pushed out, and when it hits the limiting column, the distance between the movable guardrail and the fixed guardrail just corresponds to enable a bottled product to pass well; the position of each group of limiting holes corresponds to a bottled product.
[0007] As a further technical improvement, the tops of the fixed guardrail and the movable guardrail are both provided with anti-jumping guard plates; the bottoms of the anti-jumping guard plates are arranged with rolling strips. The anti-jumping guard plates block the products from above and can block the bottled products when they jump up; when the bottled products hit the rolling strips, the rolling strips rotate and will not hinder the bottled products from moving forward.
[0008] As a further technical improvement, the adjusting screw is connected to a rotating disk, and a handle is also provided on the rotating disk for manual rotation.
[0009] As a further technical improvement, a mounting plate is provided on the conveyor belt base; the adjusting support frame is arranged on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is used to install the adjusting support frame.
[0010] As a further technical improvement, conventional guardrails are also provided on both sides of the conveyor belt; movable connecting guardrails are respectively hinged between the two groups of conventional guardrails and the fixed guardrails and the movable guardrails. The conventional guardrails serve as side barriers for the conveyor belt before the conveyor belt reaches the production equipment; the connecting guardrails enable a smooth transition connection between the conventional guardrails and the fixed guardrails and the movable guardrails.
[0011] As a further technical improvement, the inlet of the production equipment is provided with a transparent inlet cover, and an adjustment hole is provided on the inlet cover; the adjustment hole is connected to a sealed adjustment pocket. When a bottle jam or other fault occurs, the general production equipment will automatically stop and alarm after detection. At this time, a hand or tool is inserted from the adjustment pocket to remove the jammed bottle and then reset the equipment. There is no need to open the equipment inlet cover, thus avoiding damage to the sterile environment and reducing the number of operation steps; when the adjustment pocket is not in use, the adjustment pocket hangs down softly and will not touch the equipment.
[0012] As a further technical improvement, the adjusting support frame is provided with a bearing; the adjusting screw passes through the adjusting support frame from the bearing.
[0013] The method of using the above-mentioned adjustable stable bottle feeding device is as follows:
[0014] When in use, first rotate the adjusting screw to retract the movable guardrail to the fixed guardrail; then, insert the limit column into the corresponding appropriate limit hole according to the bottle type of the bottled product; then rotate the adjusting screw to push out the movable guardrail, and finally, when the movable guardrail is stuck by the limit column and cannot move forward, the guardrail width adjustment is completed; at this time, the width between the fixed guardrail and the movable guardrail is moderate, and the corresponding bottled products can pass smoothly in a single row without bottle jamming and reducing bottle jumping; bottle jumping is difficult to avoid during transportation, and the only thing you can do is to reduce the number of bottle jumps and the height of the jump. When a slight bottle jump occurs, the anti-jump guard plate can prevent the bottle from jumping to ensure smooth transportation; when problems such as bottle jamming occur, reach your hand or tool into the adjustment pocket, remove the jammed bottle, and then reset the equipment.
[0015] The technical solution of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The utility model device can change the distance between the fixed guardrail and the movable guardrail by rotating the adjusting screw, and limit the distance between the fixed guardrail and the movable guardrail by not inserting the limiting column in the limiting hole, so that the distance of the side guardrail at the front end of the conveyor belt is just suitable for passing the corresponding bottled products, avoiding bottle jamming and bottle jumping. The guardrail adjustment operation is simple, the guardrail distance adjustment is accurate, and it is easy to use.
[0017] 2. The anti-jumping guard plate of the utility model can prevent the bottled product from jumping up, thereby ensuring the smooth transportation of the product.
[0018] 3. The utility model can simply handle the problem of bottle jamming and other faults without opening the device door by adjusting the pocket, which will not affect the sterile environment of the equipment and also reduces the door opening operation steps. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
