Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bottle separation, in particular to a bottle separation device. Background Art

[0002] Container bottles that are conveyed close together in a filling machine or a labeling machine need to be separated regularly in sequence. Therefore, a bottle separation device is provided in the filling machine or the labeling machine to ensure that the container bottles enter the bottle inlet star wheel regularly and orderly for the next process. However, since the liquid (such as lotion) filled in the container bottles has a low viscosity, the container bottles will collide with each other during the process of being conveyed forward by the conveyor belt, resulting in the liquid in the container bottles splashing out and causing quality problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems or at least partially solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a bottle separation device.

[0010] In a possible implementation manner, a second adjusting hole is opened on the vertical section of the fixing plate, and the second adjusting hole is used to adjust the position of the fixing plate in the vertical direction.

[0011] In a possible implementation manner, the bottle separating assembly includes two bottle separating star wheels arranged in concentric layers. A plurality of grooves matching the body of the container bottle are distributed at intervals around the outer edge of the bottle separating star wheel. A limiting guardrail is provided on the periphery of the bottle separating star wheel. The limiting guardrail and the outer circumference of the bottle separating star wheel form an arc-shaped bottle separating channel. The bottle separating channel is communicated with the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt, and one of the grooves corresponds to the intersection of the bottle separating channel and the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt.

[0012] In a possible implementation manner, the distance between the two bottle separating star wheels is 1 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the height of the body of the container bottle.

[0013] In a possible implementation manner, the bottle separating device further includes a driving assembly. The driving assembly includes a power member, a driving gear and a driven gear.

[0018] By arranging a rotating rod on one side of the conveyor belt and rotatably arranging a turntable on the rotating rod, a part of the turntable extends into the conveying surface of the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt conveys the container bottles towards the bottle separating assembly, the body of the container bottle will push the turntable to rotate, so that the container bottle moves along the track of the arc-shaped groove, so as to increase the distance between adjacent container bottles. Finally, it enters the bottle separating assembly for bottle separation. The bottle arranging assembly has a simple structure and cleverly uses the movement of the container bottle to drive the rotation of the turntable without the need to drive by other power components, effectively solving the problem that the liquid splashes out due to the collision of the container bottles during the conveying process.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application provides a bottle separating device, which includes a conveyor belt 10, a bottle aligning assembly 20, and a bottle separating assembly 30. The conveyor belt 10 is used to convey the container bottles 50 to be separated. The bottle aligning assembly 20 includes a rotating rod 21 and a turntable 22 rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 21. The rotating rod 21 is arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 10. A part of the turntable 22 extends into the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 10, and a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 22a are distributed around the center of the outer edge of the turntable 22, and there is an arc-shaped surface 22b between adjacent arc-shaped grooves 22a, so that the container bottles 50 slide into the arc-shaped grooves 22a. The bottle separating assembly 30 is arranged at the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt 10 and is used to separate the container bottles 50 flowing out from the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt 10.

[0034] Exemplarily, the conveyor belt 10 is used to convey the container bottles 50 towards the bottle separating assembly 30, so that the neatly arranged container bottles 50 are sent into the bottle separating assembly 30 for separation. In this regard, the way to drive the conveyor belt 10 to operate can adopt the structure commonly used in the prior art to drive the conveyor belt 10, as long as it meets the requirement of driving the conveyor belt 10 to run, and no limitation is made in this regard.

[0035] Exemplarily, the function of the bottle aligning assembly 20 is to align the container bottles 50 before entering the bottle separating assembly 30, so that there is a certain distance between adjacent container bottles 50, thereby avoiding the liquid in the bottles from splashing out due to collision during the transportation of the container bottles 50. Specifically, under the operation of the conveyor belt 10, the bottle body of the container bottle 50 will first contact the arc-shaped surface 22b of the turntable 22, and then as the conveyor belt 10 runs, the container bottle 50 pushes the turntable 22 to rotate, so that the container bottle 50 slides into the arc-shaped groove 22a until it slides out of the arc-shaped groove 22a, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the distance between adjacent container bottles 50.

[0036] Exemplarily, the turntable 22 is made of nylon material to ensure that when the turntable 22 contacts the bottle body of the container bottle 50, it will not scratch the bottle body of the container bottle 50. The above is only an example, but not limited to this. The turntable 22 can also be made of materials in the prior art that will not scratch the bottle body of the container bottle 50.

[0037] The bottle arranging device based on the above technical features is provided with a rotating rod 21 on one side of the conveyor belt 10, and a turntable 22 is rotatably arranged on the rotating rod 21. A part of the turntable 22 extends into the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 10. When the conveyor belt 10 conveys the container bottles 50 towards the bottle separating assembly 30, the body of the container bottle 50 will push the turntable 22 to rotate, so that the container bottle 50 moves along the track of the arc-shaped groove 22a, so as to increase the distance between adjacent container bottles 50, and finally enter the bottle separating assembly 30 for bottle separation. The bottle arranging assembly 20 has a simple structure and cleverly uses the movement of the container bottle 50 to push the rotation of the turntable 22 without the need to drive by other power components, effectively solving the problem that the liquid splashes out due to the collision of the container bottle 50 during the conveying process.

[0038] In a possible implementation manner, there are at least two bottle arranging assemblies 20, and all the bottle arranging assemblies 20 are sequentially arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 10 along the running direction of the conveyor belt 10.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, there are two bottle arranging assemblies 20, namely a first bottle arranging assembly 20a and a second bottle arranging assembly 20b. The first bottle arranging assembly 20a and the second bottle arranging assembly 20b are sequentially arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 10 along the running direction of the conveyor belt 10, and the distance between the first bottle arranging assembly 20a and the second bottle arranging assembly 20b is not less than 20 cm. When the container bottles 50 are successively arranged by the first bottle arranging assembly 20a and the second bottle arranging assembly 20b under the running of the conveyor belt 10, the closely arranged container bottles 50 are separated, and a certain distance is maintained between adjacent container bottles 50, so that the generated impact force can be buffered, thus perfectly solving the problem that the liquid splashes out easily due to the collision of the container bottles 50 during the transportation process, effectively reducing the quality problem of liquid splashing out and the probability of shutdown for treatment, and being beneficial to improving production efficiency and product quality. It should be noted that the first bottle arranging assembly 20a and the second bottle arranging assembly 20b can be arranged on the same side of the conveyor belt 10 or on both sides of the conveyor belt 10 respectively, and this is not limited.

[0040] In addition, the number of the bottle arranging assemblies 20 can be determined according to the actual situation (such as the conveying length of the conveyor belt 10), and this is not limited.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2, in a possible implementation, the bottle arranging assembly 20 further includes a connecting frame 80. The connecting frame 80 includes a fixing plate 81 in an L shape, a moving plate 82, and a locking block 83. The lower end of the rotating rod 21 is connected to the moving plate 82. A first adjusting hole 81a is formed in the horizontal section of the fixing plate 81 along its length direction. A fixing hole 82a adapted to the first adjusting hole 81a is formed in the moving plate 82. The locking block 83 is arranged on the lower surface of the horizontal section of the fixing plate 81 to lock the moving plate 82 after the moving plate 82 moves to the required position. A second adjusting hole 81b is formed in the vertical section of the fixing plate 81, and the second adjusting hole 81b is used to adjust the position of the fixing plate 81 in the vertical direction.

[0042] Exemplarily, in order to enable the bottle separating device to be applicable to container bottles 50 of different sizes (such as height and size) for bottle separation, in this embodiment, the lower end of the rotating rod 21 is connected to the moving plate 82, and the moving plate 82 is movably connected to the horizontal section of the fixing plate 81, so that the part of the turntable 22 extending into the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 10 can be adjusted according to the size of the container bottle 50. If bottle separation is performed on container bottles 50 of different heights, the height of the turntable 22 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the fixing plate 81 in the vertical direction, ensuring that the turntable 22 contacts the middle of the bottle body to avoid the problem that the container bottle 50 topples due to the turntable 22 contacting the upper or lower part of the bottle body.

[0043] For the adjustment methods of the up-down and left-right of the turntable 22, the specific methods are as follows:

[0044] When it is necessary to adjust the part of the turntable 22 extending into the conveying surface, loosen the locking block 83, and then push the moving plate 82 until the part of the turntable 22 extending into the conveying surface is adjusted to the required position. Then, use a fastener (such as a bolt) to pass through the locking block 83 and the first adjusting hole 81a on the horizontal section of the fixing plate 81, so that the locking block 83 re-locks the moving plate 82, thereby completing the adjustment of the left-right position of the turntable 22. When it is necessary to adjust the up-down position of the turntable 22, loosen the fixing of the vertical section of the fixing plate 81, and then move the position fixed in the vertical direction until the height of the turntable 22 is adjusted to the required position. Then, use a fastener to pass through the second adjusting hole 81b to re-fix the fixing plate 81, thereby completing the adjustment of the up-down position of the turntable 22.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, in a possible implementation, the bottle separation assembly 30 includes two bottle separation star wheels 31 arranged concentrically and stacked. Multiple grooves 31a matching the body of the container bottle 50 are distributed at intervals around the outer edge of the bottle separation star wheel 31. A limit guardrail 32 is provided on the periphery of the bottle separation star wheel 31. The limit guardrail 32 and the outer circumference of the bottle separation star wheel 31 form an arc-shaped bottle separation channel A. The bottle separation channel A is communicated with the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt 10, and one of the grooves 31a corresponds to the intersection of the bottle separation channel A and the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt 10.

[0046] Exemplarily, after the container bottles 50 are aligned by the bottle alignment assembly 20 during transportation on the conveyor belt 10, a certain distance is maintained between the container bottles 50. Then, they enter the groove 31a at the intersection of the bottle separation channel A and the bottle outlet end of the conveyor belt 10. As the bottle separation star wheel 31 rotates, the container bottles 50 on the conveyor belt 10 sequentially and orderly enter the groove 31a of the bottle separation star wheel 31 and move along the bottle separation channel A, thereby realizing the orderly separation of the container bottles 50. It should be noted that the limit guardrail 32 is provided to form the bottle separation channel A around the periphery of the bottle separation star wheel 31 to limit the running track of the container bottles 50 and avoid the problem of the container bottles 50 falling during the rotation of the bottle separation star wheel 31.

[0047] In addition, the rotation of the two bottle separation star wheels 31 can be achieved by using a power component (such as a rotary motor) commonly used in the prior art to drive their rotation. Any power component that can drive the two bottle separation star wheels 31 to rotate is acceptable, and no limitation is made in this regard.

[0048] In a possible implementation, the distance between the two bottle separation star wheels 31 is 1 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the body height of the container bottle 50. In this way, the two bottle separation star wheels 31 can respectively clamp the upper and lower parts of the body of the container bottle 50, and the clamping of the container bottle 50 is more firm.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 6 , in a possible implementation, the bottle separation device further includes a driving assembly 40. The driving assembly 40 includes a power member 41, a driving gear 42, and a driven gear 43. The conveyor belt 10 is connected end to end to form an annular space. The driving gear 42 and the driven gear 43 are respectively arranged at both ends of the annular space and are meshed with the inner surface of the conveyor belt 10. The power member 41 is arranged outside the conveyor belt 10, and the output end of the power member 41 is connected to the driving gear 42. In this way, the power member 41 is used to drive the driving gear 42 to rotate. Since the conveyor belt 10 is meshed with the driving gear 42 and the driven gear 43, the conveyor belt 10 is driven to run, realizing the transportation of the container bottles 50.

[0050] In a possible implementation, it further includes a first enclosing plate 60 and a second enclosing plate 70 separately arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 10. A chamber with an open top is formed by enclosing between the first enclosing plate 60 and the second enclosing plate 70. The conveyor belt 10 runs through the chamber, and the upper part of the conveyor belt 10 is exposed from the open end. The driving gear 42 and the driven gear 43 are rotatably arranged at both ends of the chamber through a rotating shaft, and the power member 41 is fixed on the first enclosing plate 60.

[0051] In a possible implementation, wear-resistant strips are provided at the tops of the first enclosing plate 60 and the second enclosing plate 70, and the wear-resistant strips are used to support the conveyor belt 10. In this way, the wear-resistant strips can play a role in supporting the conveyor belt 10, avoiding the conveyor belt 10 from sagging after the container bottles 50 are placed, which affects normal transportation. In addition, bottle-feeding guardrails 90 are arranged on both sides above the conveyor belt 10 to limit the container bottles 50 on the conveyor belt 10 by means of the bottle-feeding guardrails 90, avoiding the container bottles 50 on the conveyor belt 10 from falling.

[0052] It can be understood that the above embodiments only represent the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention; it should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can also be made, all of which belong to the protection scope of the present invention; therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope covered by the claims of the present invention.
