[0002] In the production process of ketchup, after the labels are affixed to the containing bottles, the lids need to be installed on the bottle caps to seal the containing bottles; however, when the containing bottles are sealed, the distance between two adjacent containing bottles is large. Therefore, after the labels are affixed to the containing bottles, the containing bottles need to be spaced apart to increase the distance between the two adjacent containing bottles.

[0003] In the related technology, the spacing device includes a threaded rod, the extension direction of the threaded rod is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and the threaded rod is provided with a thread groove with a gradually decreasing helix angle, and the pitch of the thread groove gradually increases along the conveying direction of the conveyor line. After the container bottle enters the threaded groove, it can move along the conveying direction of the conveyor line during the rotation of the threaded rod, and the distance between two adjacent container bottles is gradually increased, thereby realizing the variable pitch between adjacent container bottles.

[0004] However, when the receiving bottle moves along the thread groove, the groove edge of the thread groove may scrape the side surface of the receiving bottle, thereby causing the label on the receiving bottle to fall off. Utility Model Content

[0030] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the utility model. The preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientation, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the present utility model, "several" means one or more, "more" means more than two, "greater than", "less than", "exceed" etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood to include the number itself. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] It should be noted that in the production process of ketchup, after the container bottle 500 is affixed with the label 510 at the labeling station, the container bottle 500 needs to be transported to the sealing station for sealing; when the container bottle 500 is located at the labeling station, a small distance needs to be maintained between two adjacent container bottles 500 so that the sealing device can label more container bottles 500 at a time; when the container bottle 500 is located at the sealing station, the distance between two adjacent container bottles 500 needs to be increased to avoid interference between the adjacent container bottles 500 and the sealing device when the container bottle 500 is sealed.

[0035] Therefore, in the process of transporting the containing bottles 500 from the labeling station to the sealing station, it is necessary to change the distance between two adjacent containing bottles 500 to increase the distance between the two adjacent containing bottles 500.

[0036] In the existing technology, the Figure 3 The threaded rod 400 shown realizes the variable pitch between two adjacent containing bottles 500. The rod surface of the threaded rod 400 is provided with a thread groove 410, and along the extension direction of the threaded rod 400, the helix angle of the thread groove 410 gradually decreases, so that the pitch of the thread groove 410 gradually increases; further, in the process of the threaded rod 400 driving the containing bottle 500 to move, the interval between two adjacent containing bottles 500 is the size of the pitch of the thread groove 410 where the containing bottle 500 is located, so that the distance between the two adjacent containing bottles 500 becomes larger and larger during the movement along the thread groove 410, thereby realizing the increase of the distance between the two adjacent containing bottles 500.

[0037] However, if Figure 4 As shown, when the containing bottle 500 is at the labeling station, the label 510 will be attached to the middle of the containing bottle 500. When the threaded rod 400 drives the containing bottle 500 to move, the groove wall of the threaded groove 410 will scrape the label 510 on the containing bottle 500, thereby causing the label 510 to fall off.

[0038] Based on the above problems, the first aspect of the present invention provides a bottle spacing device. The bottle spacing device of the present invention can reduce damage to the labels 510 on the bottles 500 while achieving the distance change between two adjacent bottles 500.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the bottle spacing device includes a mounting frame 100, a limiting module 200 and a material shifting assembly 300; the mounting frame 100 is provided with a conveyor line 110 extending forward and backward; the limiting module 200 includes a first railing assembly 210, the first railing assembly 210 is arranged on the mounting frame 100 and is located on the right side of the conveyor line 110, the first railing assembly 210 includes a first railing 211 and a second railing 212 distributed in a vertical direction, and the first railing 211 is located at the lower side of the second railing 212, and a first avoidance area 213 for avoiding a label 510 is formed between the first railing 211 and the second railing 212; the material shifting assembly 300 includes a driver 310 and a material shifting member 320, the material shifting member 320 is arranged on the left side of the conveyor line 110, and the material shifting member 320 and the first railing 211 are located on the same horizontal plane, and the driver 310 is connected to the material shifting member 320.

[0040] When the bottle spacing device of the present embodiment is working, the bottle 500 can be arranged on the conveyor line 110 along the front-to-back direction, and can be conveyed from front to back under the conveyance of the conveyor line 110; when the bottle 500 is located on the conveyor line 110, the label 510 on the bottle 500 can be just located on the same horizontal plane as the first avoidance area 213; when the conveyor line 110 conveys the bottle 500 to the material shifting member 320, the material shifting member 320 can be driven by the driver 310 to push the bottle 500 to move backward a certain distance relative to the previous bottle 500, thereby realizing the distance change between two adjacent bottles 500.

[0041] It can be understood that since the material-dispensing member 320 and the first railing 211 are located on the same horizontal plane, and the label 510 on the receiving bottle 500 can be located on the same horizontal plane as the first avoidance area 213, during the operation of the receiving bottle spacing device of the present application, the first railing assembly 210 and the material-dispensing member 320 can both avoid the label 510 on the receiving bottle 500, thereby reducing damage to the label 510 on the receiving bottle 500.

[0042] Specifically, the material shifting member 320 is a material shifting plate, and a portion of the material shifting plate extends into the conveying line 110 .

[0043] It is understandable that, driven by the driver 310 , the material dial can rotate, so that the accommodating bottles 500 can move backward a certain distance under the cooperation of the circumference of the material dial and the first railing 211 , thereby achieving a variable distance between two adjacent accommodating bottles 500 .

[0044] Furthermore, in order to reduce the probability of slippage between the material-diverting plate and the accommodating bottle 500, in a further embodiment of the present invention, the circumferential surface of the material-diverting plate is wrapped with a rubber layer.

[0045] It is understandable that the provision of the rubber layer can increase the friction coefficient between the material-digging plate and the receiving bottle 500 , thereby reducing the probability of slippage between the material-digging plate and the receiving bottle 500 .

[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of paddles may be provided at intervals around the periphery of the material paddle tray, and a receiving area for receiving the receiving bottle 500 is formed between two adjacent paddles.

[0047] Furthermore, when the material-diverting plate diverts the accommodating bottle 500 , the diverter can drive and limit the accommodating bottle 500 .

[0048] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the material dial can smoothly move the containing bottle 500, the distance between the material dial and the first rail 211 needs to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the containing bottle 500. In the actual use of the containing bottle spacing device of the present application, it is necessary to transport containing bottles 500 of various specifications.

[0049] In order to enable the bottle spacing device of the present application to adapt to the bottle 500 of various specifications, in some embodiments of the present utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The limiting module 200 also includes a first adjusting component 220 , and the first adjusting component 220 is connected to the first railing component 210 .

[0050] Furthermore, according to the specifications of the container bottle 500, the staff can adjust the relative position between the first railing assembly 210 and the material shifting member 320 through the first adjustment assembly 220, and the distance between the material shifting member 320 and the first railing 211 can be adapted to the container bottle 500 to be separated.

[0051] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the first adjustment component 220 includes a vertical adjustment structure and a horizontal adjustment structure connected to each other, the vertical adjustment structure is used to adjust the position of the first railing component 210 in the vertical direction, and the horizontal adjustment structure is used to adjust the distance between the first railing component 210 and the material shifting member 320 in the horizontal direction.

[0052] It is understandable that for different specifications of the containing bottles 500, the diameter sizes of the containing bottles 500 are not the same. By setting up a horizontal adjustment structure, the staff can adjust the distance between the first railing assembly 210 and the material shifting member 320 according to the diameter size of the containing bottle 500 through the horizontal adjustment structure; corresponding to different specifications of the containing bottles 500, the position of the label 510 on the containing bottle 500 is not the same. By setting up a vertical adjustment structure, the staff can adjust the height of the first railing assembly 210 relative to the conveyor line 110 through the vertical adjustment structure, so that the label 510 on the containing bottle 500 can be located on the same horizontal plane as the first avoidance area 213.

[0053] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 2 The vertical adjustment structure includes a first mounting seat 221 and a first locking member. The first mounting seat 221 is provided with a vertically extending long hole 221a. The first locking member (not shown in the figure) can be slidably penetrated into the long hole 221a and threadedly penetrated into the mounting frame 100.

[0054] Furthermore, when the staff needs to adjust the height of the first railing assembly 210, the staff can first loosen the first locking piece to make the first mounting seat 221 in a movable state. After the staff has adjusted the height of the first mounting seat 221, the staff can tighten the first locking piece to make the first mounting seat 221 close to the mounting frame 100, thereby generating a friction force between the first mounting seat 221 and the mounting frame 100 that is sufficient to hinder the relative movement of the first mounting seat 221, so as to achieve the locking and fixation of the first mounting seat 221.

[0055] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 2 The horizontal adjustment structure includes a second mounting seat 222, a second locking member 223 and a connecting member 224. The second mounting seat 222 is arranged on the first mounting seat 221. The second mounting seat 222 is provided with a mounting hole extending left and right. The connecting member 224 can be slidably penetrated into the mounting hole and is connected to the first railing assembly 210. The second locking member 223 is threadedly penetrated on the second mounting seat 222 and extends into the mounting hole. The second locking member 223 is used to cooperate with the hole wall of the mounting hole to clamp the connecting member 224.

[0056] Furthermore, when the staff needs to adjust the position of the first railing assembly 210 in the left-right direction, the staff can loosen the second locking piece 223, and then the staff can slide the connecting piece 224 left and right relative to the second mounting seat 222 to achieve the adjustment of the position of the first railing assembly 210 in the left-right direction; when the position of the first railing assembly 210 is adjusted, the staff can tighten the second locking piece 223 so that the second locking piece 223 can cooperate with the hole wall of the mounting hole to lock and fix the connecting piece 224.

[0057] For further reference, Figure 2 The horizontal adjustment structure includes two connecting members 224, and the two connecting members 224 are respectively connected to the first railing 211 and the second railing 212.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The limiting module 200 also includes a second railing assembly 230, which is arranged on the mounting frame 100 and is located on the side of the conveyor line 110 away from the first railing assembly 210; the second railing assembly 230 includes a third railing 231, and in the vertical direction, a second avoidance area 232 for avoiding the material-diverting member 320 is formed between the third railing 231 and the conveying surface of the conveyor line 110.

[0059] It is understandable that by providing the second railing assembly 230 , the second railing assembly 230 can cooperate with the first railing assembly 210 to limit the containing bottle 500 in the width direction of the conveyor line 110 to prevent the containing bottle 500 from leaving the conveyor line 110 .

[0060] In a further embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The limiting module 200 also includes a second adjusting component 240, which is connected to the third railing 231 and is used to adjust the relative position between the third railing 231 and the conveying line 110.

[0061] It is understandable that the second adjustment component 240 is provided so that the staff can adjust the relative position between the third rail 231 and the conveyor line 110 according to the specifications of the container bottle 500 and the thickness of the material-dispensing member 320. For example, when replacing the material-dispensing member 320 of different thickness, the staff can adjust the height of the third rail 231 through the second adjustment component 240 so that the replaced material-dispensing member 320 can smoothly pass through the second avoidance area 232; for example, when the specifications of the container bottle 500 are changed, the staff can adjust the position of the third rail 231 in the horizontal direction relative to the conveyor line 110 through the second adjustment component 240 to adapt to the size of the container bottle 500 conveyed on the conveyor line 110.

[0062] Specifically, the specific structure of the second adjustment component 240 refers to the first adjustment component 220 .

[0063] The tomato sauce production line provided according to the second embodiment of the utility model comprises the bottle spacing device according to the first embodiment of the utility model.

[0064] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
