Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bottle packaging and conveying, in particular to a bottle conveying line. Background Art

[0002] After the bottle body is printed with a pattern on the pattern printing equipment, the conveyor line connected to the pattern printing equipment outputs the bottle body, and the bottle body is conveyed on the conveyor line from a vertical state. Then, the bottle body in the vertical state is taken out manually on the conveyor line, and then the bottle body is placed horizontally manually on the conveyor line connected to the packaging equipment. This has high labor costs, and the employees who place the bottle bodies also have the phenomenon of leaving their jobs, such as going to the toilet, taking a break during work, etc., so the equipment is in standby mode, and the equipment capacity is relatively low. For this reason, the manufacturer considers purchasing a six-axis robot to replace manual operation, but the six-axis robot is expensive, and the subsequent maintenance cost is large, and it occupies the placement space of the factory. In addition, the six-axis robot needs to grasp the bottle mouth and then rotate it to the corresponding angle through its axis arm, and then place it on the conveyor line connected to the packaging equipment. The conversion placement time is relatively long. Compared with manual placement, the capacity of the packaging equipment cannot be maximized.

[0003] Therefore, the applicant needs to design a device that can automatically convert the bottle from an upright state to a horizontal state, replace manual and six-axis robot operations, reduce the standby time of the packaging equipment, effectively maximize the production capacity of the packaging equipment, and achieve a close and seamless connection between the pattern printing equipment and the packaging equipment process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a bottle conveyor line, in which a first conveyor mechanism and a second conveyor mechanism are arranged in a staggered manner in the space of a factory building, and an inclined conveyor line is provided between the first conveyor mechanism and the second conveyor mechanism, which can convert the bottle body from an upright state to an inclined state, and then from the inclined state to a horizontal state, effectively replacing manual and six-axis robot operations, reducing the standby time of packaging equipment, and effectively maximizing the production capacity of packaging equipment, realizing a close and seamless connection between pattern printing equipment and packaging equipment processes.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0006] A bottle conveyor line comprises a first conveyor mechanism and a second conveyor mechanism for conveying bottles, wherein one end of the first conveyor mechanism is connected to a pattern printing device and is used to convey bottles with printed patterns, and one end of the second conveyor mechanism is connected to a packaging device to convey the bottles with printed patterns to the packaging device; the first conveyor mechanism and the second conveyor mechanism are arranged at different heights, and an inclined conveyor mechanism is arranged between the first conveyor mechanism and the second conveyor mechanism;

[0007] When the bottle body is sent to the inclined conveying mechanism along the first conveying mechanism in an upright state, the bottle body switches from the upright state to the inclined state. When the bottle body is sent to the second conveying mechanism along the inclined conveying mechanism, the bottle body switches from the inclined state to the horizontal state. The bottle body is conveyed to the packaging equipment through the second conveying mechanism in the horizontal state for packaging, which effectively replaces manual and six-axis robot operations, reduces the standby time of the packaging equipment, can effectively maximize the production capacity of the packaging equipment, and realize a close and seamless connection between the pattern printing equipment and the packaging equipment processes.

[0008] An arc-shaped inclined guide surface is provided at the connection between the first conveying mechanism and the inclined conveying mechanism. When the bottle body moves to the guide surface of the first conveying mechanism in an upright state, the bottle body tilts toward the inclined conveying mechanism under the action of gravity, and the conveying surface of the inclined conveying mechanism supports the inclined bottle body.

[0009] The inclined conveying mechanism conveys the inclined bottle body upward to the second conveying mechanism. When the bottle body is conveyed upward, when the inclined bottle body is conveyed to the input end of the second conveying mechanism, the inclined bottle body is partially suspended in the air. Therefore, under the action of gravity, it falls onto the conveying surface of the second conveying mechanism. The reciprocating motion of the conveyor belt of the second conveying mechanism conveys the fallen bottle body horizontally, thereby realizing the conversion of the inclined bottle body to a horizontal bottle body.

[0010] The position height of the first conveying mechanism is smaller than that of the second conveying mechanism, and the position height where one end of the inclined conveying mechanism is connected to the first conveying mechanism is smaller than the position height where the other end of the inclined conveying mechanism is connected to the second conveying mechanism; the slope of the inclined conveying mechanism gradually increases from the first conveying mechanism along the direction of the second conveying mechanism.

[0011] The first conveying mechanism and / or the inclined conveying mechanism and / or the second conveying mechanism are provided with two spaced-apart limiting plates; when the bottle is conveyed by the first conveying mechanism, the inclined conveying mechanism, and the second conveying mechanism, the bottle is limited between the two limiting plates. The bottle is conveyed in an orderly manner through the limiting plates to prevent the bottle from shifting during the conveying process.

[0012] In addition, when the second conveying mechanism is provided with two limit plates, the distance between the two limit plates is gradually set, and the distance between the two limit plates gradually decreases toward the direction where the second conveying mechanism is connected with the packaging equipment.

[0013] One or two limit plates are movably arranged on the corresponding conveying mechanism, and the distance between the two limit plates can be adjusted by the movement of one of the limit plates; or, the two limit plates can be moved separately to adjust the distance between the two limit plates, thereby adapting to bottles of different specifications and sizes.

[0014] Supporting members for supporting the limiting plates are arranged on both sides of the first conveying mechanism, the inclined conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism; the limiting plates are slidably arranged on the supporting members, and when the limiting plates are movable, the distance between the two limiting plates is adjusted.

[0015] A slide groove is provided on the support member, a sliding plate is extended from one end of the limiting plate, and the sliding plate is connected with the limiting plate, and a slider embedded in the slide groove is provided on the sliding plate. When the limiting plate slides, the slider of the sliding plate slides on the slide groove.

[0016] A locking piece is provided on the sliding plate, which is inserted into the slider of the sliding plate and abuts against the bottom wall of the inner groove of the sliding groove; the slider of the sliding plate is fixed to the sliding groove through the locking piece. When the limit plate moves, the locking piece releases the locking force, the slider of the sliding plate slides and drives the limit plate to move.

[0017] A driving mechanism is provided at the bottom of the first conveying mechanism, and the telescopic end of the driving mechanism is transmission-connected with the first conveying mechanism. The driving mechanism drives the first conveying mechanism to move so as to adjust the connection distance between the first conveying mechanism and the inclined conveying mechanism.

[0018] The inclined conveying mechanism is supported on the first frame, and a first supporting foot and a second supporting foot of different heights are provided at the bottom of the first frame. The first frame is hinged to the first supporting foot, and a lifting mechanism is provided at the bottom of the second supporting foot, and the lifting end of the lifting mechanism is transmission-connected with the second supporting foot; when the lifting end of the lifting mechanism moves up and down, one end of the inclined conveying mechanism rotates on the first supporting foot to adjust the inclination of the inclined conveying mechanism, and lifting transmission mechanisms are provided at the bottom of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, and the corresponding lifting transmission mechanisms drive the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism to lift and lower, so as to adjust the height positions of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism to adapt to bottles of different heights and sizes, and the versatility is strong.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0020] The first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are arranged in a staggered manner in the space of the factory, and an inclined conveying line is provided between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, which can convert the bottle body from an upright state to an inclined state, and then from the inclined state to a horizontal state, effectively replacing manual and six-axis robot operations, reducing the standby time of packaging equipment, and effectively maximizing the production capacity of packaging equipment, realizing a close and seamless connection between pattern printing equipment and packaging equipment processes.
