Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of plastic bottle production, in particular to a lifting ring buffer device. Background Art
[0002] On the production line of plastic bottles for filling edible oil, a lifting ring needs to be put on a bottle body with a large capacity to facilitate consumers to pick up and hold. During the process of installing the lifting ring on the bottle body, the lifting rings need to be continuously fed into the lifting ring installation device through a conveyor belt, so that the lifting ring installation equipment can continuously carry out the operation of installing the lifting ring on the bottle body.
[0003] However, currently, the lifting rings are transported to the lifting ring installation setting through a conveyor belt, and the lifting rings on the conveyor belt are placed manually, which makes the labor intensity of the operators relatively high, time-consuming and laborious; moreover, since the lifting rings can only be temporarily stored on the conveyor belt, when there are too many lifting rings stacked on the conveyor belt, it is easy for multiple lifting rings to stack together, making the lifting ring installation device unable to obtain the lifting rings normally, resulting in abnormalities in the production of the bottle body. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art that the labor intensity of stacking the lifting rings on the conveyor belt is relatively high and the lifting rings are prone to stacking on the conveyor belt, and to provide a lifting ring buffer device.
[0005] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a lifting ring buffer device, including
[0006] a buffer platform, and a conveyor belt is arranged on the buffer platform;
[0007] a buffer device, and the buffer device is located above the conveyor belt;
[0008] The buffer device includes at least one support component and a plurality of partition bars arranged along the transportation direction of the conveyor belt. The support component is connected to the buffer platform, the partition bars are connected to the support component, the partition bars are arranged at intervals with the conveyor belt, and a buffer channel is formed between adjacent partition bars. The width of the buffer channel is adapted to the outer diameter of the lifting ring; each buffer channel is provided with a gate.
[0009] A lifting ring buffer device of the present utility model. The conveyor belt arranged on the buffer platform continuously runs, so that the conveyor belt always has a tendency to transport the lifting rings to the outlet end; the lifting rings are placed in a single row in the buffer channel, so that the lifting rings can be discharged in sequence when discharged, avoiding stacking of the lifting rings; the support assembly supports the partition strips, so that there is a gap between the partition strips and the conveyor belt, avoiding interference between the conveyor belt and the partition strips; the buffer channels for the lifting rings are formed by arranging intervals between adjacent partition strips, and the buffer channels are arranged along the transport direction of the conveyor belt; gates are respectively arranged on the downstream side of each buffer channel. When the gates are closed, the lifting rings can be prevented from entering the conveyor belt. After the gates are opened, the lifting rings can be smoothly discharged from the buffer channels through the conveyor belt. By controlling the opening and closing intervals of the gates, excessive stacking of the lifting rings on the conveyor belt can be avoided, preventing the lifting rings from stacking on the conveyor belt; operators can fill all the buffer channels with lifting rings in a short time, reducing the labor intensity, and controlling the frequency of the lifting rings entering the conveyor belt by controlling the opening and closing of the gates, avoiding the lifting rings from stacking on the conveyor belt.
[0010] Preferably, the buffer platform is provided with a guiding mechanism. Along the transport direction of the conveyor belt, the guiding mechanism is located on the downstream side of the buffer channel. The guiding mechanism is arranged at an interval from the conveyor belt. The guiding mechanism is provided with a guiding channel, and any one of the buffer channels can be communicated with the guiding channel.
[0011] The guiding mechanism can guide the lifting rings to be discharged at a predetermined position, so that the lifting rings can be transported to the conveyor belt. The guiding mechanism is arranged at an interval from the conveyor belt, avoiding interference between the conveyor belt and the guiding mechanism; the entrance of the guiding channel can be communicated with any buffer channel.
[0012] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a first bending strip and a second bending strip. The first bending strip and the second bending strip are arranged at an interval to form the guiding channel. The width of the guiding channel at the outlet is smaller than the width of the guiding channel at the entrance.
[0013] Since the width of the guiding channel at the entrance is larger, each buffer channel can be communicated with the guiding channel, so that the lifting rings in any buffer channel can enter the guiding channel; the lifting rings entering the guiding channel are pushed by the first bending member and the second bending member, so that the lifting rings are discharged from a predetermined position of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the lifting rings can enter the conveyor belt.
[0014] Preferably, the support assembly includes a cross bar and a plurality of connecting members. Vertical bars are respectively arranged at both ends of the cross bar. The vertical bars are connected to the buffer platform. One end of the connecting member is connected to the cross bar and the other end is connected to the partition strip.
[0015] The vertical rod can support the horizontal rod to be suspended above the conveyor belt. When connecting the partition strip to the horizontal rod through the connecting piece, the partition strip can be fixed above the conveyor belt, and there is a gap between the conveyor belt and the partition strip.
[0016] Preferably, the connecting piece includes a base and a lead screw. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the base. The end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the partition strip, and the base is connected to the horizontal rod.
[0017] By rotating the lead screw, the positions of the base and the lead screw change, so that the height of the partition strip can be adjusted, realizing the adjustment of the distance between the partition strip and the conveyor belt; in some embodiments, the base is detachably connected to the horizontal rod, and by adjusting the position of the base on the horizontal rod, the distance between adjacent partition strips can be adjusted.
[0018] Preferably, two support components are provided, and the two support components are arranged at intervals.
[0019] By supporting the partition strip with two support components at the same time, the partition strip can be more stably fixed above the conveyor belt.
[0020] Preferably, the buffer platform is provided with a gate support seat. The gate support seat is connected to the buffer platform, and several gates are respectively connected to the gate support seat.
[0021] By supporting the gate with the gate support seat, the gate can be suspended above the conveyor belt.
[0022] Preferably, the gate includes a cylinder and an intercepting block. The intercepting block is connected to the cylinder. The cylinder is connected to the gate support seat. The intercepting block is arranged at an interval from the conveyor belt, and the intercepting block is used to block the lifting ring.
[0023] When the cylinder is in the extended state, the intercepting block blocks the buffer channel, so that the side of the intercepting block abuts against the lifting ring located in the buffer channel, preventing the lifting ring from entering the conveyor belt; when the cylinder retracts, the lifting ring loses the block of the intercepting block and is transported to the conveyor belt under the action of the conveyor belt.
[0024] Preferably, the gate is provided with a control unit, and the control unit is connected to the gate for driving.
[0025] By controlling the opening and closing of the gate through the control unit, the control unit can be a push-button switch.

[0029] 1. For a lifting ring buffer device of the present utility model, the conveyor belt arranged on the buffer platform keeps running continuously, so that the conveyor belt always has a tendency to transport the lifting rings to the outlet end; the lifting rings are placed in a single row in the buffer channel, so that the lifting rings can be discharged in sequence when discharged, avoiding stacking of the lifting rings; the support assembly supports the partition strips, so that there is an interval between the partition strips and the conveyor belt, avoiding interference between the conveyor belt and the partition strips; the buffer channels for the lifting rings are formed by arranging intervals between adjacent partition strips, and the buffer channels are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt; gates are respectively arranged on the downstream side of each buffer channel. When the gates are closed, the lifting rings can be prevented from entering the conveyor belt.
