Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass bottle production, in particular to a bottle making system with suspended discharging. Background Art

[0002] The existing production process of glass bottles is generally as follows: after the glass is melted, it is adjusted to a certain temperature, slowly falls from the material head of the feed channel, is cut by mechanical scissors, and the glass material falls into the mold along the slide. There is an upward metal rod in the mold, which will push the glass material into a hollow shape with the mouth downward, and then the glass material is turned over to face upward. The glass material is sandwiched in the middle of a two-piece bottle mold, and compressed air is blown into the bottle to form it. After the glass solidifies, the mold is opened, and then annealing, inspection and other processes are carried out. Since the temperature of the glass bottle coming out of the molding mold is very high, the yield of the glass bottle is easily affected when it is directly transferred to the conveyor belt, so it needs to be cooled before being transferred to the conveyor belt. In the prior art, a cooling table is generally set. In the prior art, cooling water is introduced into the cooling table to ensure that the cooling table is at a lower temperature, so that the bottom of the glass bottle can be cooled while being transferred (the bottom of the glass bottle needs to contact the conveyor belt later, and the conveyor belt is a mesh structure).

[0003] For example, the patent application number CN201821735905.3 discloses a transfer device that can transfer formed glass bottles to a conveyor belt. The device and the cooling table are arranged side by side on one side of the conveyor belt, and the cooling table is arranged close to the conveyor belt. The device includes a cylinder and a power system that drives the cylinder to rotate. The piston rod of the cylinder is provided with a bottle pushing mechanism. The cylinder piston rod extends and the cylinder rotates to push the glass bottles on the cooling table to the conveyor belt. The cooling table is provided with anti-skid patterns, and the anti-skid patterns are close to the end of the conveyor belt and are in an arc structure consistent with the direction of the glass bottles.

[0004] The applicant found in the actual production process that the glass bottles were very hot after being formed (not fully hardened), and were easily deformed (slightly deformed) when placed on the anti-slip grooves, affecting the quality of the product. Utility Model Content
