Bottle unscrambling device

Abstract

The utility model discloses a bottle unscrambling device which comprises a vibration bottle unscrambling hopper and at least one bottle outlet track in butt joint with the vibration bottle unscrambling hopper, and further comprises a bottle overturning mechanism which comprises a mounting frame and a bottle overturning rod rotatably arranged on the mounting frame. And the lower end of the bottle overturning rod extends into the bottle discharging track so as to overturn the bottle body with a forward bottle opening. Bottle bodies are in a horizontal state after being unscrambled by the vibration bottle unscrambling hopper, bottle openings of one part of the bottle bodies face forwards, bottle openings of the other part of the bottle bodies face backwards, when the bottle bodies are output to the bottle overturning mechanism through the bottle discharging track, the bottle bodies with the bottle openings facing forwards can be overturned under the action of the bottle overturning rod, and the bottle openings face backwards. Due to the fact that the bottle bottoms of the bottle bodies with backward bottle openings (namely the bottle bodies with forward bottle bottoms) are closed, the bottle bodies cannot be overturned, the directions of all the bottle bodies are kept consistent, and compared with an existing bottle rotating mechanism, the bottle rotating mechanism is simple in structure, lower in cost and good in reliability.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the bottle unscrambling device of the utility model is shown. The bottle unscrambling device of this embodiment includes an oscillating bottle unscrambling bucket 1 and two bottle outlet tracks 2 connected to the oscillating bottle unscrambling bucket 1 (of course, in other embodiments, the number of bottle outlet tracks 2 can also be adjusted). The bottle unscrambling device also includes a bottle turning mechanism 3. The bottle turning mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31 and a bottle turning rod 32 rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 31. The lower end of the bottle turning rod 32 extends into the bottle outlet track 2 to turn over the bottle body with the bottle mouth facing forward. Since there are two bottle outlet tracks 2, correspondingly, there are also two bottle turning rods 32, which are arranged one by one corresponding to the two bottle outlet tracks 2.

[0027] The bottle unscrambling device of this embodiment is in a horizontal state after being unscrambled by the oscillating bottle unscrambling bucket 1, with one part of the bottle bodies facing forward and the other part facing backward. When being output to the bottle turning mechanism 3 through the bottle outlet track 2, the bottle bodies with the bottle mouths facing forward can be turned over by the action of the bottle turning rod 32 (the bottle mouths of the bottles with the bottle mouths facing forward are blocked by the bottle turning rod 32, and the bottle bottoms are pushed by the subsequent bottles, and the bottle turning rod 32 can be rotated to achieve their turning), and the bottles with the bottle mouths facing backward and the bottles with the bottle mouths facing backward (i.e., the bottles with the bottle bottoms facing forward) cannot be turned over because their bottle bottoms are closed, so that all the bottles are kept in the same direction. Compared with the existing bottle rotating mechanism, the structure is simple, the cost is lower, and the reliability is good.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 31 is provided with an elastic reset member 33 for resetting the bottle turning rod 32, which can be preferably a coil spring. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be an elastic rope, an elastic rubber block, etc. When the bottle turning rod 32 is pushed to rotate upward, the coil spring is stretched to generate resistance. After the turning is completed, the stretched coil spring contracts, thereby driving the bottle turning rod 32 to rotate downward and reset, preparing for the next bottle body with the bottle mouth facing forward. Of course, in other embodiments, the gravity of the bottle turning rod 32 itself can also be used to achieve reset.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an adjusting screw 34 is provided on the mounting frame 31, one end of the elastic reset member 33 is connected to the adjusting screw 34, and the other end of the elastic reset member 33 is connected to the bottle turning rod 32. By rotating the adjusting screw 34, the initial length of the elastic reset member 33 can be adjusted, and then the resistance and reset force of the elastic reset member 33 can be adjusted to adapt to bottles of different specifications, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the bottle turning rod 32 is provided with an arc segment 321, and the elastic reset member 33 is connected to the arc segment 321. For example, the arc segment 321 can be hooked by a hook at the end of the elastic reset member 33, so as to achieve a stable connection between the elastic reset member 33 and the bottle turning rod 32, which has a simple and effective structure.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a hook 322 for inserting into the bottle mouth is provided at the lower end of the bottle turning rod 32. By providing the hook 322, the bottle body can be better driven to turn over.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a bending portion 323 is provided at the upper end of the bottle turning rod 32, and a stopper 35 cooperating with the bending portion 323 is provided on the mounting frame 31. When the bending portion 323 contacts the stopper 35 during the upward turning process of the bottle turning rod 32, it indicates that the bottle turning rod 32 has reached the maximum angle, thereby avoiding excessive rotation, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a driving member 36 (such as a cylinder, an electric push rod or a screw nut pair, etc.) is provided on the mounting frame 31 for driving the limiter 35 to extend and retract. When a squeezed bottle occurs downstream of the bottle discharging track 2, the driving member 36 drives the limiter 35 to rise and abut against the bent portion 323, thereby limiting the rotation of the bottle turning rod 32, and the bottle turning rod 32 can block the bottle body from continuing to be transported downstream. After the squeezed bottle condition is eliminated, the driving member 36 drives the limiter 35 to descend, and the bottle turning rod 32 resumes the state of being able to rotate, and the bottle body continues to be transported downstream, so that the bottle turning rod 32 has the functions of turning and blocking bottles.

[0034] Further, in this embodiment, a mounting shaft 37 is provided on the mounting frame 31, a bearing 38 is provided on the mounting shaft 37, and the bottle turning rod 32 is provided on the bearing 38. By providing the bearing 38, the bottle turning rod 32 can rotate on the mounting frame 31 more smoothly.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 31 is arranged on an adjustment seat 4 to adjust the height of the bottle turning rod 32 and the position of the bottle turning rod 32 in the width direction of the bottle discharge track 2. By adjusting the height of the bottle turning rod 32 and the position of the bottle turning rod 32 in the width direction of the bottle discharge track 2, bottles of different specifications can be adapted, thereby improving the versatility of the device.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the adjustment seat 4 is provided with a first waist-shaped hole 41 arranged vertically, and the mounting frame 31 is provided with a second waist-shaped hole 311 arranged along the width direction of the bottle-discharging track 2 and connected to the adjustment seat 4 through a fastener (not shown in the figure, for example, a bolt, a screw, etc.) provided in the second waist-shaped hole 311. The height of the whole device on the frame can be adjusted through the first waist-shaped hole 41, and the position of the mounting frame 31 in the width direction of the bottle-discharging track 2 can be adjusted through the second waist-shaped hole 311. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient. Of course, in other embodiments, the lifting and lateral movement of the mounting frame 31 and the bottle-turning rod 32 thereon can also be realized by components such as a cylinder, an oil cylinder, or a screw nut pair, and no further description is given.

[0037] Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the art can use the above disclosed technical content to make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
