Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technical solution relates to the technical field of bottle body processing equipment, and in particular to a bottle blank preparation device and a plastic bottle production line. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the times, machines and equipment have been able to replace manual work to complete the "glass blowing" process, so that the preforms can be formed into bottles that meet the designed dimensions. After being fired into preforms, the preforms need to be sent to the corresponding processing equipment in time to complete the processing process. Since the preforms can only be formed when they are kept within a certain temperature range, they need to be sent to the processing equipment in time for forming. In the process of sending the preforms to the corresponding processing equipment, it is often necessary to use a material handling device to send the preforms to the preset clamping position, so that the preforms at the clamping position can be sent to multiple processing equipment through the clamping cylinder to achieve the purpose of improving production efficiency.

[0003] The prior art still has the following deficiencies:

[0004] 1. The material handling device currently used to transport preforms usually allows the preforms to slide naturally along the feeding track and then enter the transfer position so that they can be clamped by the clamping cylinder. However, in this process, multiple preforms are likely to enter the transfer position at the same time, which will cause interference when the clamping cylinder performs the clamping action, easily leading to deformation of the preforms or the clamping cylinder being unable to clamp the preforms smoothly, affecting the product qualification rate and production quality.

[0005] 2. At present, many material handling devices will feed the preforms onto the same track to facilitate the clamping cylinder to clamp them. It is easy for the preforms to fail to enter the clamping position accurately, resulting in the clamping cylinder failing to accurately clamp the preforms when transferring the preforms, causing the preforms to be severely deformed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the technical solution is to provide a bottle blank preparation device and a plastic bottle production line to improve the situation that the current clamping cylinder cannot accurately clamp the bottle blank when clamping the bottle blank located in the clamping position.

[0015] A driving source 1 is used to drive the partition to move, so as to cause a misaligned movement between the accommodating groove and the feeding track.

[0054] The following are specific embodiments of the present technical solution, and the technical solution of the present technical solution is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present technical solution is not limited to these embodiments.

[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 3 A bottle blank material handling device shown, which is used to transport bottle blanks 15, also includes:

[0057] At least one feeding track 11, which is arranged on the workbench 1;

[0058] A docking track 12, which is connected to the upper end of the feeding track 11, and the docking track 12 is used to feed the preform 15 into the feeding track 11;

[0059] A transfer assembly 2 connected to the lower end of the feeding track 11, the transfer assembly 2 is provided with at least one fixing groove 53 for fixing the preform 15, and the transfer assembly 2 is used to deliver the preform 15 to other equipment;

[0060] The offset partition assembly 3 is used to limit the number of bottle blanks 15 entering the fixed groove 53 to ensure a stable working state.

[0061] It is a common method of producing plastic bottles to heat the preform 15 and then blow-mold it to make a bottle body of a desired shape. In the process of transporting a large number of preforms 15 to the assembly line, the preforms 15 are usually allowed to slide down the feeding track 11, and after entering the bottom end of the feeding track 11, they are grabbed and moved by the transfer component 2.

[0062] By setting up the offset partition assembly 3, it can be ensured that only one bottle blank 15 enters the fixed groove 53 at a time, thereby effectively preventing the transfer assembly 2 from being disturbed by additional bottle blanks 15 during the grabbing process, ensuring the stability of the transportation of the bottle blanks 15 and reducing damage to the bottle blanks 15.

[0063] The dislocation partition assembly 3 comprises:

[0064] At least one partition 31 is disposed between the feeding track 11 and the transfer assembly 2, and a plurality of receiving grooves 34 are formed on the partition 31. When the receiving grooves 34 are aligned with the lower end of the feeding track 11, the preforms 15 can pass through the receiving grooves 34 and enter the fixing grooves 53 after leaving the feeding track 11;

[0065] The driving source 1 32 is used to drive the partition plate 31 to move, so as to generate a misaligned movement between the receiving groove 34 and the feeding track 11 .

[0066] When the partition 31 moves, the accommodating groove 34 is no longer aligned with the lower end of the feeding track 11, thereby preventing the bottle blanks 15 on the feeding track 11 from continuing to move downward, so that there is only one bottle blank 15 in the fixing groove 53, so as to facilitate accurate clamping of the transfer component 2.

[0067] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a track-changing and diverting assembly 4 is also provided. The track-changing and diverting assembly 4 is arranged between the docking track 12 and the feeding track 11 . The track-changing and diverting assembly 4 is used to distribute the preforms 15 on the docking track 12 to different feeding tracks 11 .

[0068] Furthermore, the track-changing and diverting assembly 4 at least comprises:

[0069] Mobile track 1 41;

[0070] Mobile track II 42;

[0071] The moving plate 43, the moving track 1 41 and the moving track 2 42 are arranged on the moving plate 43;

[0072] One end of the push cylinder 44 is arranged on the workbench 1 , and a push rod of the push cylinder 44 is connected to the moving plate 43 through a push block 45 , so that the push cylinder 44 can drive the moving plate 43 to move.

[0073] A connecting plate 46 is also provided on the moving plate 43 , and the pushing cylinder 44 is connected to the connecting plate 46 , so that the pushing cylinder 44 can drive the moving plate 43 to move by driving the connecting plate 46 to move.

[0074] Specific as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, three feeding tracks 11 are provided, and the docking track 12 and the middle feeding track 11 are on the same straight line.

[0075] When the second moving track 42 is aligned with the docking track 12, the preforms 15 on the second moving track 42 can smoothly enter the middle feeding track 11, and the first moving track 41 is aligned with the feeding track 11 on the left, so that the preforms 15 loaded on the first moving track 41 can enter the feeding track 11 on the left. Since the rate at which the preforms 15 enter through the docking track 12 is higher than the rate at which the transfer assembly 2 transports the preforms 15 from the single fixed groove 53, the preforms 15 will be accumulated on the second moving track 42 and the feeding track 11 docked therewith. The push cylinder 44 drives the second moving track 42 to move through the moving plate 43, so that the second moving track 42 is aligned with the feeding track 11 on the right, and the preforms 15 accumulated on the second moving track 42 are fed into the feeding track 11 on the right.

[0076] When the second moving track 42 is aligned with the feeding track 11 on the right, the first moving track 41 is aligned with the docking track 12, and the preforms 15 on the first moving track 41 can enter the middle feeding track 11. When the number of preforms 15 accumulated on the first moving track 41 is large enough, the pushing cylinder 44 will drive the moving plate 43 to reset again, so that the second moving track 42 is aligned with the docking track 12, and the first moving track 41 is aligned with the feeding track 11 on the left.

[0077] Therefore, when the push cylinder 44 drives the movable plate 43 to move, the purpose of feeding the bottle blanks 15 on the docking track 12 to the multiple feeding tracks 11 can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of transporting the bottle blanks to the conveyor belt without additionally setting up a gas supply device.

[0078] Furthermore, a stopper 17 is provided between the feeding tracks 11 to prevent the preforms 15 on the moving tracks 1 41 and 42 from sliding down when the moving tracks 1 41 and 42 move; a stopper 2 18 is provided between the moving tracks 1 41 and 42 to prevent the preforms 15 on the docking track 12 from sliding down when the moving tracks 1 41 and 42 move, thereby preventing the preforms 15 from falling off and being damaged, resulting in a waste of materials.

[0079] The workbench 1 is provided with a work support 13, the connecting plate 46 is further provided with a sliding seat 47, the work support 13 is provided with a directional guide rail 48, and the sliding seat 47 is sleeved on the directional guide rail 48. The directional guide rail 48 and the sliding seat 47 cooperate to ensure that the moving plate 43 can reciprocate in a straight line.

[0080] A through hole 14 is also formed on the working bracket 13 so that the directional guide rail 48 can be fixed on the upper end of the working bracket 13, and the docking track 12, the feeding track 11 and the movable plate 43 are arranged on the lower end of the working bracket to avoid the structure being too compact, so that the sliding seat 47 will not affect the movement of the bottle blank 15 when moving on the directional guide rail 48.

[0081] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a slide rail 16 is provided on the workbench 1, a slide seat 33 is provided on the slide rail 16, and a partition plate 31 is provided on the slide seat 33;

[0082] The driving source 32 is a push rod cylinder, and the end of the driving source 32 is connected to the slide 33, so that the driving source 32 can drive the slide 33 to move along the direction of the slide rail 16, thereby driving the partition 31 to perform reciprocating linear motion in a straight line.

[0083] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the upper end surface of the partition 31 is inclined; and the accommodating groove 34 can accommodate at least one bottle blank 15. When the accommodating groove 34 is aligned with the fixing groove 53, the bottle blank 15 located in the accommodating groove 34 can enter the fixing groove 53, which is convenient for controlling the feeding situation.

[0084] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a mounting rack 5 is provided on the workbench 1, and a side of the mounting rack 5 facing the feeding track 11 is formed into a fixing groove 53, and each fixing groove 53 corresponds to the lower end of a feeding track 11. The staggered partition assembly 3 is matched so that only one preform 15 can be placed in each fixing groove 53 at the same time to facilitate transportation by the transfer assembly 2.

[0085] The transport component 2 includes:

[0086] A gripper cylinder 21, the position of which corresponds to the position of the fixing groove 53, and the gripper cylinder 21 is used to grab the preform 15 in the fixing groove 53;

[0087] A rotating shaft 22, the clamping jaw cylinder 21 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 22, and the clamping jaw cylinder 21 can rotate around the rotating shaft 22;

[0088] The second driving source 23 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 22 , and the second driving source 23 is used to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate.

[0089] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a limiting protrusion 51 is formed at one end of the mounting frame 5 facing the partition 31 , and a limiting groove 35 is formed at a corresponding position of the partition 31 . The limiting protrusion 51 can be inserted into the limiting groove 35 , and the limiting protrusion 51 can move in the limiting groove 35 .

[0090] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the limiting protrusion 51 is raised to form a supporting portion 52, which is used to abut against the upper inner wall of the limiting groove 35, thereby ensuring that the horizontal height of the partition 31 and the accommodating groove 34 is moderately higher than the fixing groove 53. When the accommodating groove 34 is aligned with the fixing groove 53, the bottle blank 15 in the accommodating groove 34 can naturally fall into the fixing groove 53.

[0091] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 22 is disposed on the support frame 25, and a fixing portion 26 is disposed on the support frame 25, and one end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the fixing portion 26;

[0092] The second driving source 23 is connected to the first pushing rod 231 or the second pushing rod 232 respectively, and the first pushing rod 231 and the second pushing rod 232 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 22;

[0093] A driving connecting rod 27 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 22, so that the driving connecting rod 27 can drive the rotating shaft to rotate;

[0094] The moving paths of the push rod 1 231 and the push rod 232 overlap with the rotation path of the driving connecting rod 27 , so that the push rod 1 231 and the push rod 232 can push the driving connecting rod 27 to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate.

[0095] A plastic bottle production line comprises the bottle blank preparation device as described above.

[0096] Embodiment 2:

[0097] like Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that the present embodiment is provided with two docking tracks 12 and correspondingly provided with six feeding tracks 11.

[0098] The push cylinder 44 drives the two moving plates 43 and the moving track 1 41 and the moving track 2 42 thereon to move through the push block, thereby achieving more efficient feeding efficiency.

[0099] Embodiment three:

[0100] Specific as Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that the partition plate 31 in this technical solution is a continuous whole.

[0101] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present technical solution, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present technical solution. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present technical solution should be included in the protection scope of the present technical solution.
