Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bottle conveying, in particular to a multi-purpose lane conveyor. Background Art

[0002] After the bottled beverages are filled, they are transferred to the packaging process and the sealing and packaging is achieved through a conveyor line. The bottled beverages need to be arranged in an orderly manner on the conveyor line to cooperate with the subsequent automatic packaging equipment. Therefore, whether the conveyor line can smoothly arrange the bottled beverages is a key point to increase production.

[0003] At present, the existing conveyor line lane division is realized by a bottle dividing mechanism, on which a bottle dividing baffle is provided, and a gap is formed between the bottle dividing baffles for a bottle to pass through, thereby realizing the arrangement and lane division. Since the position of beverage bottles on the conveyor line is random during the conveying process, when several beverage bottles form a specific arrangement and move toward the bottle dividing baffle, they may push each other and squeeze the bottle dividing baffle as a whole, causing the subsequent beverage bottles to be blocked at the position of the bottle dividing mechanism, so that the conveyed beverage bottles cannot smoothly enter the packaging station, resulting in more and more bottles on the conveyor line, causing the entire production line to stop, seriously affecting the transmission efficiency.

[0004] Although the above problem can be improved by adjusting the position of the bottle separation baffle, it can only reduce the probability of blockage, but cannot avoid the blockage of the bottle separation mechanism.

[0005] In addition, in the actual production process, the conveyor belt may transport products of different specifications, some with round cross-sections, some with rectangular cross-sections, some with square cross-sections, some with large cross-sections, and some with small cross-sections. When various products are circulated online, the lanes of the conveyor line must also be flexibly adjusted, and even the lanes need to be removed. Although the existing lane separation devices can adjust the intervals and remove the lanes by disassembling and assembling parts, they are relatively cumbersome to operate, affecting production efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve and optimize the existing conveyor line lane dividing device so that it can better meet user needs. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the embodiment of the utility model is to address the shortcomings of the prior art structure and propose a multi-purpose lane conveyor, which is provided with a plurality of lane devices that can be raised and lowered along the conveyor belt, and each lane device is provided with a plurality of lane plates; and at least the lane plates of the lane devices located at the head of the conveyor belt can be bent and can be extended and retracted along the length direction, and the lane device located at the head is also provided with a vibration plate arranged between the lane plates, and the vibration plate is directly or indirectly connected to a vibration mechanism. Through such a structure, the bottles entering the lane mechanism at the head of the conveyor belt are also continuously vibrated with the vibration plate, and the relative positions between the bottles and the lane plates are changed at a high frequency and are continuously driven forward by the conveyor belt. Even if the bottles are arranged in a blocked position, they can quickly leave the blocked position, thereby preventing the lane conveyor from being blocked. The subsequent lane devices convey the bottles in separate lanes, thereby realizing the arrangement and separation of the bottles.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned utility model object, a multi-purpose lane conveyor proposed in the utility model embodiment is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0011] The dividing plate is a vertically arranged unpowered roller conveyor.

[0012] The frame also includes columns arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt and connected to support the crossbeam.

[0013] The vibration mechanism is arranged on a vibration plate.

[0014] Along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, a Y-shaped slot is formed at the end of the lane dividing plate, and its head end is embedded in the Y-shaped slot of the previous lane dividing plate.

[0015] A toggle-type counter is also provided on the crossbeam between the suspension rods.

The subsequent lane-dividing devices convey the bottles in lanes, thereby realizing the arrangement and lane-dividing of the bottles. When the lanes need to be removed, the lane-dividing devices can be raised as a whole. The bottle separating mechanism can be applied to bottles of different sizes, has a simple structure, is easy to produce and process, and is suitable for wide promotion and application in the industry.
