[0028] A feeding mechanism, arranged at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism;

[0029] The controller is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism and the feeding mechanism, and is used to control the conveying speed of the conveying mechanism and the feeding mechanism.

[0030] The first screw 190 and the second screw 200 are arranged in parallel and at intervals in the vertical direction, which can effectively and stably support and guide plastic containers such as PET bottles. The locking member 100 and the push plate 110 in the first adjustment component 120 can flexibly adjust the position of the push plate 110 according to different bottle types, ensuring that the bottle body 180 remains vertical during the conveying process, greatly reducing the risk of bottle mouth damage, and improving the accuracy of conveying and product quality; the adjustment function of the first adjustment component 120 enables the device to easily adapt to a variety of bottle body 180 sizes without frequent replacement or adjustment of equipment, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the production process, and reducing production costs and conversion time; the controller is electrically connected to the feeding mechanism and the feeding mechanism, realizing precise control of the entire conveying process. The controller can automatically adjust the conveying speed according to production needs, ensuring the synchronous coordination of the feeding mechanism and the feeding mechanism, improving production efficiency, and optimizing resource utilization.

[0031] The screw groove widths of the first screw 190 and the second screw 200 are adapted to the size of the bottle body 180. The sliding and shaking of the bottle on the screw are reduced, thereby significantly improving the stability of the conveying process, avoiding collision and damage caused by bottle shaking, and improving the continuity and safety of product conveying.

[0032] A buffer zone 150 is provided between the feeding mechanism and the feeding mechanism. A counter is provided in the buffer zone 150. The counter is electrically connected to the controller and is used to obtain the number of bottles 180 in the buffer zone 150 and transmit it to the controller. This ensures a balance between feeding and conveying, avoids excessive accumulation or idle waiting, thereby optimizing the production rhythm and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0033] An air conveying belt is arranged in the buffer zone 150, and the conveying direction of the air conveying belt is the same as the conveying direction of the screw assembly 130. The impact and collision of the bottle body 180 during the conversion process are reduced, the risk of bottle mouth damage and bottle body 180 deformation is effectively reduced, and the conveying quality of the product is improved.

[0034] The first screw rod 190 and the second screw rod 200 have the same model and size specifications, which ensures that the first screw rod 190 and the second screw rod 200 can provide the same thrust and support, and can also be easily and quickly replaced and maintained, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] A second adjusting assembly 140 is disposed at the bottom of the feeding mechanism, one end of the second adjusting assembly 140 is disposed at the lower part of the first adjusting assembly 120, and the other end of the second adjusting assembly 140 is disposed at the lower part of the screw assembly 130, and the second adjusting assembly 140 is adapted to adjust the relative distance between the first adjusting assembly 120 and the screw assembly 130. The second adjusting assembly 140 can conveniently adjust the relative distance between the first adjusting assembly 120 and the screw assembly 130, facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the first adjusting assembly 120 and the screw assembly 130, and make assembly easier.

[0036] The stroke of the second adjustment component 140 is greater than the stroke of the first adjustment component 120. The second adjustment component 140 can achieve a wide range of adjustment, which is convenient for adapting to bottles 180 of different sizes, further increasing the versatility of the conveying device. It is understandable that the first adjustment component 120 and the second adjustment component 140 can be a screw nut assembly. The screw nut assembly is a common precision transmission device. By rotating the screw, the nut will move along the axial direction of the screw. This linear motion conversion realizes the precise adjustment of the position of the push plate 110. The second adjustment component 140 is responsible for basic positioning adjustment, while the first adjustment component 120 provides a more detailed position adjustment capability on this basis. The combination of the two makes the adjustment capability of the entire conveying device more flexible and efficient. The screw nut assembly is usually equipped with a self-locking function, which can keep the current position unchanged in the event of power failure or loss of driving force, ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0037] The cross-sectional width of the push plate 110 is greater than the maximum diameter of the first screw 190 or the second screw 200. The wider push plate 110 can provide a wide support surface for the bottle body 180, and even if the bottle body 180 tilts or shakes during transportation, the push plate 110 can effectively correct it, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the bottle mouth and product damage.

[0038] The feeding mechanism includes a dial 160 and a bottle feeding star wheel 170. The feeding end of the dial 160 is arranged at the discharging end of the feeding mechanism, and the discharging end of the dial 160 is arranged corresponding to the feeding end of the bottle feeding star wheel 170. This ensures a seamless transition of the bottle body 180 from the conveying link to the feeding link, reduces stagnation or accumulation in the intermediate link, and ensures the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

[0039] The dial 160 and the bottle feeding star wheel 170 are both provided with encoders, which are electrically connected to the controller. The encoders are used to obtain the rotation speeds of the dial 160 and the bottle feeding star wheel 170 and transmit them to the controller. Through the precise monitoring of the encoders, the controller can automatically adjust the conveying rhythm to match the speed of other links of the production line, ensuring the synchronization and coordination of the production process, reducing material accumulation or idle waiting time, and making production more efficient and continuous.

[0040] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism is mainly composed of two parts, one is the screw assembly 130, and the other is the first adjustment assembly 120. The screw assembly 130 is composed of two equidistant and parallel screws. The first screw 190 and the second screw 200 are both designed to have a screw groove width that matches the size of the PET bottle body 180 to ensure the stable guidance of the bottle body 180 during the conveying process. The first adjustment assembly 120 is installed opposite the screw assembly 130 and includes a locking member 100 and a push plate 110. The locking member 100 can adjust the distance between the push plate 110 and the screw assembly 130, and the push plate 110 fits perfectly with the conveying channel to support the bottle body 180. In addition, a second adjustment assembly 140 is added to the bottom, one end of which is connected to the lower part of the first adjustment assembly 120 and the other end is connected to the lower part of the screw assembly 130, which can further adjust the width of the conveying channel to adapt to bottles 180 of different sizes.

[0041] A buffer zone 150 is provided between the conveying mechanism and the feeding mechanism, and an air conveying belt is arranged in the zone, and the conveying direction of the air conveying belt is consistent with the screw assembly 130, which helps the bottles 180 to transition smoothly. The buffer zone 150 is also equipped with a counter, which communicates with the controller through an electrical connection, and monitors the number of bottles 180 in the buffer zone 150 in real time, so that the controller can adjust the conveying speed.

[0042] The feeding mechanism includes a dial 160 and a bottle feeding star wheel 170. The feeding end of the dial 160 is seamlessly connected with the discharging end of the conveying mechanism, while the discharging end of the dial 160 is precisely aligned with the feeding end of the bottle feeding star wheel 170, ensuring a smooth transition of the bottle body 180 between the two links. In addition, the dial 160 and the bottle feeding star wheel 170 are equipped with encoders, which are electrically connected to the controller and can monitor and transmit the rotation speed information of the two components to the controller in real time, so as to accurately control the conveying speed.

[0043] In actual operation, the PET bottle is first stably conveyed by the twin screws of the screw assembly 130, during which the first adjustment assembly 120 and the second adjustment assembly 140 are precisely adjusted to ensure that the bottle body 180 enters the conveying channel vertically and stably. After entering the buffer zone 150, the air conveying belt pushes the bottle body 180 steadily in the same direction as the screw assembly 130. The counter monitors the number of bottles in the buffer zone 150 in real time and feeds the information back to the controller to adjust the conveying speed to avoid accumulation or vacancies. Subsequently, the bottle body enters the next processing link through the precisely aligned dial 160 and the bottle feeding star wheel 170. During the whole process, the encoder ensures the coordinated operation of each part to maintain production efficiency and the integrity of the bottle body 180. Through the structure and operation process of the above embodiment, the conveying device effectively solves the problem of damage to PET bottles during the conveying process, improves production efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and has good adaptability and intelligence level, meeting the high standard requirements of modern automated production lines.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
