Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass bottle conveying, in particular to a full bottle prompting device and a mixed production bottle conveying line using the device. Background Art

[0002] Before glass bottle inspection, it is often necessary to perform multi-row unscrambling on different types of bottles, and transport the mixed bottles to the next process in a certain order and pattern. During unscrambling, bottles continuously enter from one end of the transport line and exit in sequence from the other end. When the bottle entry speed is greater than the bottle exit speed, or when there is an accident such as bottle jam at one end of the bottle exit, the number of bottles in the transport line will quickly reach the limit. However, the commonly used bottle unscrambling equipment usually uses manual visual observation to see if there are full bottles or accumulation during transportation, which not only consumes labor and affects efficiency, but also cannot obtain the number of bottles in the transport line in time when there are many transport channels. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem in the above background technology that it is impossible to timely judge whether the transport line is full of bottles, the utility model provides a full bottle prompting device and a mixed production bottle transport line using the same.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A full bottle prompt device includes a mounting frame and a follower part on one side thereof, wherein the mounting frame is further provided with a detection part capable of detecting the state of the follower part. The follower part includes a rotating shaft that is laterally rotated and arranged at the rear side of the mounting frame, and a follower plate is connected thereto. The follower plate is vertically arranged and the upper end is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the lower end extends to the lower side of the mounting frame and is bent toward the front side of the mounting frame. The detection part includes a proximity switch capable of detecting the position of the follower plate.

[0006] The bottle body on the transport line is located in front of the mounting frame and is transported along the direction of the rotating shaft. When the bottle body passes through the above-mentioned full bottle prompting device, it will contact and press against the lower end of the follower plate. Under the pressing effect of the bottle body and the limiting effect of the rotating shaft, the lower end of the follower plate moves backward to a position where it can cooperate with the proximity switch. At this time, the proximity switch prompts that the bottle body has arrived here.

[0007] In order to ensure that the rotating shaft can return to its original position in time after the bottle body leaves, a tension spring is provided between the rotating shaft and the mounting frame.

[0008] Specifically, a first connecting rod is provided on the side of the rotating shaft away from the mounting frame, and a second connecting rod is provided on the rear side of the mounting frame and below the rotating shaft; and both ends of the tension spring are connected to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod respectively. This can not only ensure the timely reset of the rotating shaft after rotation, but also limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft, so as to avoid the proximity switch being unable to detect the position of the follower plate due to excessive rotation angle.

[0009] Further, the lower end of the follower plate is arranged to be bent forward twice continuously and then extend to the lower side of the mounting frame. The two bends can prevent the follower plate from being too close to the proximity switch in a relaxed state, thereby preventing the proximity switch from detecting inaccurately.

[0010] Preferably, a tightening bolt is provided between the follower plate and the mounting frame. The tightening bolt passes through one end of the follower plate and is connected to a pressure block, which can not only adjust the initial position of the follower plate through the setting of the tightening nut, but also further serve as a limit stopper for the follower plate through the setting of the pressure block.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft is connected to a strip detection plate which is perpendicular to the rotating shaft and can rotate with the rotating shaft, and the detection plate is set to have the same rotation angle as the follower plate. Moreover, the plane where the detection plate is located is perpendicular to the plane where the follower plate is located. By using the detection plate to reflect the rotation of the follower plate, the sensing area that cooperates with the proximity switch can be increased. At the same time, the follower plate and the detection plate are linked to each other but are independently set, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance or replacement.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the follower plate is connected to a follower rod arranged parallel to the length direction of the shaft. The length of the follower rod is greater than the length of the lower end of the follower plate along the length direction of the shaft, which can increase the contact area between the bottle body and the follower plate and provide sufficient driving force for the shaft.

[0013] The utility model also provides a mixed production bottle transportation line including the above-mentioned full bottle prompt device, and also includes a conveyor belt, at least one side of the conveyor belt is provided with a baffle, the full bottle prompt device is installed on the side of the baffle away from the conveyor belt, and the lower end curved portion of the follower plate extends to the side of the baffle close to the conveyor belt. When the bottle body on the transportation line passes the installation position of the full bottle prompt device, the bottle body can press against the follower plate, so that the proximity switch receives the information of the bottle body arriving and responds.

[0014] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with a strip hole, and the lower curved portion of the follower plate is arranged through the strip hole. By providing the strip hole, only the lower end of the follower plate is allowed to pass through the strip hole to contact the bottle body, which can save the conveying space in the conveyor belt while ensuring the contact effect, and reduce the impact on the bottle body in the conveyor belt.

[0015] In order to further improve the pushing effect of the bottle body on the rotating shaft when it abuts against the follower plate, the axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0016] Through the above design, the beneficial effects of the full-bottle prompting device of the utility model and the mixed-production bottle transportation line using the same are as follows: The bottles on the transportation line are transported along the transportation direction. When the bottle reaches the position of the full-bottle prompting device, the side wall of the bottle will contact and press against the follower rod at the lower end of the follower plate. The follower plate drives the rotating shaft to rotate backward under the pressing action of the bottle, and at the same time drives the detection plate to gradually approach the proximity switch. The proximity switch detects that the bottle has reached this position. If the bottle in the transportation line has not reached the full-bottle state, at this time, the bottle will leave after contacting the follower rod, and at this time, the proximity switch can record the number of bottles passing by. If the bottle in the transportation line reaches the full-bottle state, at this time, the bottle will not leave after contacting the follower rod, and the detection plate is always close to the proximity switch. Therefore, the proximity switch will always be in the prompting state. Through this utility model, it is convenient to obtain the number of bottles on the transportation line and timely judge whether the transportation line has reached the full-bottle state.

[0023] Embodiment

[0024] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment first provides a full-bottle prompting device, including a mounting frame and a follower part 2 on one side thereof, and a detection part 3 capable of detecting the state of the follower part 2 is further provided on the mounting frame.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting frame includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate 1, and both ends of the mounting plate 1 are bent backward. The follower part 2 includes a rotating shaft 22 horizontally rotated at the rear side of the mounting frame. Specifically, both ends of the rotating shaft 22 are rotatably connected to both ends of the mounting plate 1.

[0026] In order to ensure that the rotating shaft 22 can return to its original position in time after the bottle leaves, a tension spring 25 is further provided between the rotating shaft 22 and the mounting frame.

[0027] Specifically, a first connecting rod is provided perpendicular to the rotating shaft 22 on one end of the rotating shaft 22 away from the mounting frame, and a second connecting rod opposite to the first connecting rod is provided on the rear side of the mounting frame and below the rotating shaft 22; the two ends of the tension spring 25 are connected to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod respectively. This can ensure that the rotating shaft 22 is reset in time after rotation, and can also limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 22, so as to avoid the proximity switch 31 being unable to detect the position of the follower plate 24 due to excessive rotation angle.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 22 is connected with a follower plate 24 , which is vertically arranged with the upper end thereof fixed to the rotating shaft 22 and the lower end thereof extending to the lower side of the mounting frame and bent toward the front side of the mounting frame.

[0029] Further, the lower end of the follower plate 24 is arranged to be bent forward twice continuously and then extend to the lower side of the mounting frame. The two bends can prevent the follower plate 24 from being too close to the proximity switch 31 in a relaxed state, thereby preventing the proximity switch 31 from detecting inaccurately.

[0030] Preferably, a clamping bolt 26 is further provided between the follower plate 24 and the mounting frame. One end of the clamping bolt 26 passing through the follower plate 24 is connected to a pressure block, and the setting of the clamping nut can not only adjust the initial position of the follower plate 24, but also further serve as a limit stopper for the follower plate 24 by setting the pressure block, and at the same time, a polyurethane pressure head is provided at one end of the pressure block away from the follower plate 24, which can provide a flexible clamping force.

[0031] In a specific implementation, the lower end of the follower plate 24 is connected to a follower rod 23 arranged parallel to the length direction of the rotating shaft 22. The length of the follower rod 23 is greater than the length of the lower end of the follower plate 24 along the length direction of the rotating shaft 22, which can increase the contact area between the bottle body and the follower plate 24, and provide sufficient driving force for the rotating shaft 22. The two ends of the follower rod 23 are arranged to be bent toward the mounting frame, and the angle between the two ends of the follower rod 23 is an obtuse angle. The obtuse angle bending setting can not only guide the bottle body that is about to contact, but also ensure the smooth movement of the bottle body on one side of the follower rod 23.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the end of the rotating shaft 22 away from the tension spring 25 is connected to a strip-shaped detection plate 21 which is perpendicular to the rotation spring 25 and can rotate therewith, and the detection plate 21 is set to have the same rotation angle as the follower plate 24. Moreover, the plane where the detection plate 21 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the follower plate 24 is located. By using the detection plate 21 to reflect the rotation of the follower plate 24, the sensing area that cooperates with the proximity switch 31 can be increased. At the same time, the follower plate 24 and the detection plate 21 are linked to each other but are independently set, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance or replacement.

[0033] To facilitate operations such as the installation, replacement, and adjustment of the detection board 21, the upper end of the detection board 21 is sleeved on the outer circle of the rotating shaft 22 through a connecting ring, and a fastening bolt is provided on the connecting ring to prevent relative displacement between the detection board 21 and the rotating shaft 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, the detection unit 3 includes a proximity switch 31 capable of detecting the position of the follower plate 24. The proximity switch 31 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 1 away from the tension spring 25 and is located below the rotating shaft 22.

[0035] Combined Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment also provides a mixed-production bottle conveyor line including the above-mentioned full-bottle reminder device, further including a plurality of conveyor belts arranged in parallel. At least one side of the conveyor belt is provided with a baffle 4. The full-bottle reminder device is installed on the side of the baffle 4 facing away from the conveyor belt. The bent part at the lower end of the follower plate (24) extends to the side of the baffle close to the conveyor belt. When the bottle on the conveyor line passes through the installation position of the full-bottle reminder device, the bottle can abut against the follower plate 24, so that the proximity switch receives the information that the bottle has arrived and makes a reaction.

[0036] Further preferably, the mounting frame is fixed to the side of the baffle 4 facing away from the conveyor belt through a horizontally arranged connecting plate. This increases the stability between the full-bottle reminder device and the baffle 4, and at the same time, the installation position of the full-bottle reminder device can be conveniently changed through the connecting plate. Both ends of the connecting plate are provided with strip-shaped through holes, and bolts capable of fixing to the baffle 4 are provided at the through holes. The installation position of the mounting frame is changed by adjusting the position of the bolts at the through holes, which is convenient for changing the installation position of the full-bottle reminder device according to different transportation situations.

[0037] Furthermore, a strip-shaped hole 41 is provided on the baffle 4, and the bent part at the lower end of the follower plate 24 passes through the strip-shaped hole 41. By providing the strip-shaped hole, only the lower end of the follower plate 24 passes through the strip-shaped hole to contact the bottle. While ensuring the contact effect, it can also save the conveying space inside the conveyor belt and reduce the influence on the bottles inside the conveyor belt.

[0038] To further improve the pushing effect of the bottle on the rotating shaft 22 when the bottle abuts against the follower plate 24, the axis of the rotating shaft 22 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0039] The bottles on the conveyor line are transported along the transport direction. When the bottle reaches the position of the full-bottle prompting device, the side wall of the bottle will contact and press against the follower rod 23 at the lower end of the follower plate 24. The follower plate 24 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate backward under the pressing action of the bottle, and at the same time drives the detection plate 21 to gradually approach the proximity switch 31, and the proximity switch 31 detects that the bottle has reached this place. If the bottles in the conveyor line are not in the full-bottle state, the bottle will leave after contacting the follower rod 23 at this time, and the proximity switch 31 can record the number of bottles passing by. If the bottles in the conveyor line reach the full-bottle state, the bottle will not leave after contacting the follower rod 23 at this time, and the detection plate 21 is always close to the proximity switch 31, so the proximity switch 31 will always be in the prompting state. Through this utility model, it is convenient to obtain the number of bottles on the conveyor line and timely judge whether the conveyor line has reached the full-bottle state.
