Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bottle filling production lines, in particular to an inverted bottle rejection device. Background Art

[0002] In today's highly industrialized and automated production environment, bottle filling production lines play a crucial role in various industries, such as medicine, food, cosmetics, etc.

[0003] On the conveyor belt, due to various reasons, such as collisions, vibrations of the conveyor belt, etc., some bottles may be toppled. The inverted bottle rejection link refers to detecting and screening the bottles during the conveying process in the bottle filling production line, identifying those bottles in a toppled state rather than a normal upright state, and removing them from the normal bottle flow to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processes.

[0004] In the production line of bottled products, the existing inverted bottle rejection technology usually relies on guiding and dropping to achieve rejection. That is, through a specific die guide, the inverted bottles naturally fall during operation, so as to achieve the purpose of rejection. However, the existing technology has obvious defects and problems. On the one hand, due to its relatively simple and single rejection mechanism, it is easy to have the phenomenon of missed rejection, resulting in some inverted bottles not being detected and rejected in time, thus affecting the overall qualification rate of products. On the other hand, the inverted bottles sometimes get stuck at the die outlet and cannot fall, which not only hinders the normal progress of production but also reduces production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an inverted bottle rejection device to solve the technical problems of low qualification rate and low efficiency in the existing inverted bottle rejection technology.

[0006] As conceived above, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An inverted bottle rejection device, comprising:

[0008] A main body structure, at least two moving channels are opened on the main body structure, the bottle-shaped parts can be placed in the moving channels and move along the moving channels, a rejection opening is opened at the bottom side of the main body structure, the rejection opening communicates with the moving channels, the bottle-shaped parts in a toppled state can flow out from the rejection opening, guiding plates are arranged on both sides of the moving channels, the guiding plates extend along the extending direction of the moving channels, the two guiding plates are arranged oppositely, the distance between the two guiding plates is greater than the outer diameter of the bottle neck and less than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth, and the bottom of the bottle mouth of the bottle-shaped parts in an upright state can abut against the guiding plates;

[0009] Conveyor assembly, a conveyor assembly is provided at the bottom corresponding to each of the moving channels, and the conveyor assembly can convey the bottle-shaped parts from the input end of the moving channel to the output end.

[0010] Preferably, the moving channel includes a straight section and a bent section, and the bent section bends outward and extends to communicate with the rejection opening.

[0011] Preferably, a fillet is formed at the connection between the straight section and the bent section.

[0012] Preferably, a guiding inclined surface is provided at the connection between the rejection opening and the moving channel, and the guiding inclined surface is inclined downward from top to bottom.

[0013] Preferably, a placement frame is provided at the bottom of the main body structure, and the placement frame faces the rejection opening.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the rejection opening is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the bottle-shaped part and less than or equal to the height of the bottle-shaped part.

[0015] Preferably, a slot is provided on the side wall of the moving channel, and the guiding plate is inserted into the slot.

[0019] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0020] The inverted bottle rejection device proposed by the present utility model, when in use, the bottle-shaped parts enter from the input end of the moving channel, and the bottom of the bottle mouth abuts against the guide plate, thereby playing a role in limiting the bottle-shaped parts. The conveying component conveys the bottle-shaped parts from the input end of the moving channel to the output end for subsequent processing. During the movement of the bottle-shaped parts, the inverted bottle-shaped parts flow out from the rejection opening and are collected for subsequent secondary operations. Since guide plates are provided on both sides of the moving channel, and the distance between the guide plates is greater than the outer diameter of the bottle neck and less than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth, only the bottom of the bottle mouth of the bottle-shaped parts in the upright state can abut against the guide plate, while the bottle-shaped parts in the inverted state cannot be supported, so that they can flow out from the rejection opening and be accurately rejected, reducing the occurrence of missed rejection phenomena and improving the overall qualification rate of the product. Through the conveying component, the bottle-shaped parts are automatically conveyed in the moving channel, realizing continuous rejection operations. It no longer easily occurs that the inverted bottle gets stuck at the mold outlet and hinders production as in the traditional technology, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process, effectively avoiding production stagnation caused by the inverted bottle rejection link, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0030] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in and, the inverted bottle rejection device provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a main body structure 1 and a conveying assembly. Among them, at least two moving channels 11 are opened on the main body structure 1. The bottle-shaped member 100 can be placed in the moving channel 11 and move along the moving channel 11. An ejection opening 12 is opened on the bottom side of the main body structure 1. The ejection opening 12 communicates with the moving channel 11. The bottle-shaped member 100 in a tilted state can flow out from the ejection opening 12. Guide plates 13 are arranged on both sides of the moving channel 11. The guide plates 13 extend along the extension direction of the moving channel 11. The two guide plates 13 are arranged oppositely. The distance between the two guide plates 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the bottle neck 102 and less than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth 103. The bottom of the bottle mouth 103 of the bottle-shaped member 100 in an upright state can abut against the guide plate 13; a conveying assembly is arranged at the bottom corresponding to each moving channel 11. The conveying assembly can convey the bottle-shaped member 100 from the input end of the moving channel 11 to the output end.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottle-shaped member 100 includes, from bottom to top, an integrally formed bottle body 101, a bottleneck 102, and a bottle mouth 103. The outer diameter of the bottle mouth 103 is greater than that of the bottleneck 102, so as to ensure that the bottle mouth 103 can abut against the guide plate 13 without falling off. In addition, a bottle cap 104 is detachably provided on the bottle mouth 103 for opening and closing the internal space of the bottle-shaped member 100. The specific shape and size of the bottle-shaped member 100 are not limited herein.

[0033] It can be understood that the width of the rejection opening 12 is greater than the maximum diameter of the bottle-shaped member 100 in the radial direction, and the length of the rejection opening 12 is greater than the maximum length of the bottle-shaped member 100 in the axial direction to meet the dropping condition.

[0034] When the inverted bottle rejection device proposed by the present utility model is in use, the bottle-shaped member 100 enters from the input end of the moving channel 11, and the bottom of the bottle mouth 103 abuts against the guide plate 13, thereby playing a role in limiting the bottle-shaped member 100. The conveying assembly conveys the bottle-shaped member 100 from the input end of the moving channel 11 to the output end for subsequent processing. During the movement of the bottle-shaped member 100, the inverted bottle-shaped member 100 flows out from the rejection opening 12 and is collected for subsequent secondary operations. Since the guide plates 13 are provided on both sides of the moving channel 11, and the distance between the guide plates 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the bottleneck 102 and less than the outer diameter of the bottle mouth 103, only the bottom of the bottle mouth 103 of the bottle-shaped member 100 in the upright state can abut against the guide plate 13, while the bottle-shaped member 100 in the inverted state cannot be supported, so that it can flow out from the rejection opening 12 and be accurately rejected, reducing the occurrence of missed rejection phenomena and improving the overall qualification rate of the product. By automatically conveying the bottle-shaped member 100 in the moving channel 11 through the conveying assembly, continuous rejection operations are realized, and it is no longer easy to have the situation that an inverted bottle gets stuck at the die outlet and hinders production as in the traditional technology, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process, effectively avoiding production stagnation caused by the inverted bottle rejection link, and thus improving the production efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, the moving channel 11 includes a straight segment 111 and a bent segment 112. The bent segment 112 extends outwardly and is connected to the rejection opening 12. On the one hand, the outward extension of the bent segment 112 brings part of the moving channel 11 closer to the side wall of the main body structure 1, facilitating the opening of the rejection opening 12 on the side wall of the main body structure 1 to connect the moving channel 11, saving processing costs and improving processing efficiency. On the other hand, the straight segment 111 can ensure the stable movement of the bottle-shaped part 100 during the initial conveying stage, facilitating the preliminary position and state adjustment. The setting of the bent segment 112 makes the bottle-shaped part 100 in the tilted state more likely to slide into the rejection opening 12 along the bent segment 112 when it reaches here due to the center of gravity shift and loss of support, thereby further improving the accuracy and efficiency of the inverted bottle rejection. In addition, the outward bending design can make the rejection action smoother, reducing the jamming and blockage of the inverted bottle in the channel, helping to maintain the stable operation of the entire device, and ensuring the continuity and high efficiency of production.

[0036] Specifically, a fillet is formed at the connection between the straight segment 111 and the bent segment 112. The fillet design can reduce the resistance and collision of the bottle-shaped part 100 when passing through the connection, making the movement of the bottle-shaped part 100 smoother. Especially for the bottle-shaped part 100 in the upright state, it can reduce the possibility of the bottle body 101 shaking or tipping due to the sharp corner at the connection, thereby improving the stability of the entire conveying process. In addition, the fillet can reduce the wear between the bottle-shaped part 100 and the connection, extend the service life of the device, and reduce the equipment maintenance cost.

[0037] In order to facilitate the smooth flow of the bottle-shaped part 100 in the tilted state into the rejection opening 12, a guiding inclined surface is provided at the connection between the rejection opening 12 and the moving channel 11, and the guiding inclined surface is inclined from top to bottom. The guiding inclined surface can guide the bottle-shaped part 100 in the tilted state to enter the rejection opening 12 more smoothly from the moving channel 11. Due to the inclination of the inclined surface, the bottle-shaped part 100 can slide more naturally and quickly under the action of gravity and conveying force, improving the speed and efficiency of the inverted bottle rejection. Secondly, the inclined guiding inclined surface can reduce the jamming and blockage of the bottle-shaped part 100 at the connection. It avoids the stagnation of the bottle-shaped part 100 at the connection and interferes with the normal movement process of the remaining bottle-shaped parts 100, thus ensuring the continuity and smoothness of the rejection process.

[0038] In addition, a placement frame is provided at the bottom of the main body structure 1, and the placement frame is directly opposite to the rejection opening 12. The design of the placement frame can effectively collect the rejected inverted bottles. The existence of the placement frame ensures that the rejected inverted bottles have a specific accommodation space, avoiding the random scattering of the inverted bottles, keeping the production site clean and orderly, and reducing the chaos and potential safety hazards that may be caused by the scattered inverted bottles.

[0039] To improve the adaptability of the rejection opening 12, the height of the rejection opening 12 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the bottle-shaped part 100 and less than or equal to the height of the bottle-shaped part 100. On the one hand, the height of the rejection opening 12 being greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the bottle-shaped part 100 can ensure that the bottle-shaped part 100 in the tilted state can smoothly pass through the rejection opening 12 and be rejected, without the bottle-shaped part 100 being stuck due to the too small rejection opening 12, thus improving the success rate and efficiency of rejection. On the other hand, the height of the rejection opening 12 being less than or equal to the height of the bottle-shaped part 100 can prevent the bottle-shaped part 100 in the upright state from accidentally falling, ensuring the stable conveyance of the normal bottle-shaped parts 100 in the moving channel 11, thereby improving the product qualification rate and production stability. While meeting the rejection function, it will not cause excessive waste of space, making the structure of the entire device more compact and reasonable.

[0040] Since the sizes and shapes of different bottle-shaped parts 100 are different, to improve the adaptability of the guide plate 13, slots are provided on the side walls of the moving channel 11, and the guide plate 13 is inserted into the slots. The design of the guide plate 13 being inserted into the moving channel 11 improves the adaptability of the guide plate 13 to bottle-shaped parts 100 of different sizes and shapes. When different specifications of bottle-shaped parts 100 need to be processed, only the guide plate 13 that is inserted and matched needs to be replaced, without the need for large-scale adjustment or replacement of the entire device, reducing the cost and time of equipment adjustment and improving the flexibility and efficiency of production. In other embodiments, the guide plate 13 and the moving channel 11 can also be bolt-connected, snap-connected, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] To facilitate the replacement, movement, etc. of the inverted bottle rejection device, a holding handle 14 is provided on the main body structure 1. When different specifications need to be replaced or there is a fault that needs to be repaired, the staff can easily take out or install the device through the holding handle 14, saving operation time and labor and improving the efficiency of equipment maintenance and replacement. When the position of the inverted bottle rejection device needs to be moved, the holding handle 14 makes the movement process more convenient and safe. The staff can more stably control the moving direction and speed of the device, avoiding damage to the device or surrounding equipment during the movement process.

[0042] More specifically, two holding handles 14 are provided, and the two holding handles 14 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main body structure 1. The provision of the two holding handles 14 provides better balance and stability. When moving or carrying the inverted bottle rejection device, the staff can hold the two handles with both hands respectively, making the force more evenly distributed, reducing the shaking and tilting of the device during movement, and reducing the risk of the device falling or being damaged due to unstable center of gravity. On the other hand, the design of arranging at intervals increases the flexibility of operation. Whether it is horizontal movement, inclined handling or rotating to adjust the angle of the device, the staff can choose a more comfortable and effective holding position according to actual needs, so as to complete various operations more easily.

[0043] Regarding the conveying component, in this embodiment, the conveying component is a conveyor belt or a conveying chain. The conveyor belt has the characteristics of stable operation and low noise, and can provide stable and continuous conveying power for the bottle-shaped part 100, ensuring that the bottle-shaped part 100 moves at a uniform speed in the moving channel 11, and improving the accuracy and stability of feeding. The conveying chain has the advantages of high strength and good durability, can adapt to a large load and harsh working environment, and ensure long-term stable operation. It can be understood that both the conveyor belt and the conveying chain are selected from the existing equipment in the field, and their working principles and specific structures are not described in detail here.

[0044] The above embodiments only illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, there are various changes and modifications to the present invention, and these changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
