Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of canned line production equipment, and more specifically, to a can separating tool. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of the canned line, the separation of cans is a key link, which directly affects the production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] At present, the common can separation methods mainly include chain can separation and screw can separation. The chain can separation method is suitable for occasions where the cans are small and the quantity is small, such as the production of beverage cans. It conveys the cans from one end to the other end through a chain, and separates the cans during the conveying process. However, this method is prone to bottle jamming, especially when there are impurities at the bottle mouth or the bottle body is irregular, which will lead to a decrease in the can separation efficiency. At the same time, the maintenance cost of chain can separation is relatively high because the chain is easy to wear and deform, and needs to be replaced and repaired regularly.

[0004] Another common can separation method is screw can separation, which is suitable for occasions where the cans are large and the quantity is large. Screw can separation pushes the cans from one end to the other end through a screw, and separates the cans during the pushing process. However, this method has the problem of low can separation accuracy, and has high requirements for the shape and size of the bottle mouth, otherwise it is easy to occur the situation of incomplete can separation or over-separation. In addition, the cleaning difficulty of screw can separation is relatively large, and impurities and dirt are easy to remain on the screw surface, affecting the can separation quality. More importantly, the pressure of the screw may also cause defects such as grooves on the can body, resulting in unqualified products, affecting the quality of product production, and increasing the economic cost.

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model provides a can separating tool, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, including a support base 1. A first support round rod 2 is installed on the top of the support base 1. A locking shell 3 is installed on the top of the first support round rod 2. A protective shell 4 is horizontally installed inside the locking shell 3. One end of the protective shell 4 is provided with a shaft body 5. A roller 7 is fixed to the top of the shaft body 5 through a second support round rod 6. One end of the protective shell 4 is provided with an opening. One end of the shaft body 5 enters through the opening at one end of the protective shell 4 and is connected to the inner wall of the other end of the protective shell 4 through a spring 8. This can separating tool forms a unique can separating mechanism through the mutual cooperation of components such as the support base 1, the first support round rod 2, the locking shell 3, the protective shell 4, the shaft body 5, the second support round rod 6, and the roller 7. Among them, when the shaft body 5 is subjected to the pressure of the can body, the spring 8 can produce elastic deformation, and then quickly return to its original state after the can body passes through, ensuring the accuracy and continuity of can separation. This design not only simplifies the structure of the can separating tool, reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty, but also improves the stability and reliability of can separation, bringing a new and efficient can separating solution to the technical field of canning line production equipment.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support base 1 is fixed to the guardrails on both sides of the conveyor belt by bolts, which is convenient for installation and fixation.

[0026] Specifically, the locking shell 3 includes two symmetrical half-shells 31, upper and lower. The half-shells 31 are locked and fixed by locking bolts 32. The protective shell 4 is horizontally locked and fixed by the locking shell 3, facilitating horizontal adjustment and fixation of the locking shell 3 according to the size of the tank body.

[0027] Furthermore, a spring fixing block 42 is installed at one end of the inner wall of the protective shell 4 close to the spring 8. The spring fixing block 42 is connected to one end of the spring 8, facilitating the fixation of the spring 8.

[0028] Furthermore, a limiting block 51 is installed at the inner wall of the opening end of the shaft body 5 close to the protective shell 4 to prevent the shaft body 5 from slipping outwards.

[0029] Furthermore, a number of limiting frames 41 are installed inside the protective shell 4. The shaft body 5 horizontally passes through the limiting frames 41 to ensure the stable horizontal movement of the shaft body 5.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom end of the second support round bar 6 is perpendicularly welded and fixed to the end of the shaft body 5. The top end of the second support round bar 6 is rotationally connected to the axis of the roller 7 through a bearing, facilitating the rotation of the roller 7.

[0031] Furthermore, gaskets 33 are installed on the upper and lower inner walls of the locking shell 3. The gaskets 33 are pressed against the outer wall of the protective shell 4 to ensure a certain buffer space when locking the protective shell 4.

[0032] Furthermore, the roller 7 is a rubber material roller. Selecting rubber material can reduce the damage caused by collisions.

[0033] When the tank body separating tool of the present utility model is in use, first, the tank body separating tool is fixed on the guardrail of the conveyor belt through the support base, and the roller is suspended. As the conveyor belt runs, the tank body gradually approaches the tank body separating tool. When the tank body contacts the roller, the pressure of the tank body starts to act on the roller. The tank body continues to move forward, exerting a greater pressure on the roller. This pressure is transmitted to the shaft body through the second support round bar, and then compresses the spring. The elastic deformation of the spring causes the shaft body to move towards the inside of the protective shell, providing space for the passage of the tank body without causing damage to the tank body. Since the compression degree of the spring is limited, the roller can change the position of the tank body and push it to the side of the conveyor belt away from the tank body separating tool.

[0034] During the compression process of the spring, the tank body can pass through the tank body separating tool smoothly. At this time, the contact force between the roller and the tank body gradually decreases. After the tank body completely passes through, the spring starts to rebound and return to its original state. This rebound process causes the shaft body and the roller to return to the initial position, preparing to welcome the arrival of the next tank body.

[0035] Sub - canning tools are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt and are staggered. When a can passes through the sub - canning tool on one side, it will be pushed to the other side of the conveyor belt, creating a certain spacing from the subsequent cans. In this way, through the alternating action of the sub - canning tools on the left and right sides, multiple cans are separated one by one on the conveyor belt.

[0036] Continuous sub - canning: As the conveyor belt runs continuously, the above - mentioned process is repeated continuously to achieve continuous sub - canning of the cans.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above - mentioned embodiments. The above - mentioned embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
