Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass bottle production equipment, in particular to a glass bottle transfer device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of glass products, there is a transport chain for transporting high-temperature or heat-treated glass bottles. The transport chain includes a transfer position, a cooling section, a conveyor belt, and a transfer unit, where: Transfer position: The glass bottle is in a high-temperature state at this position and has just been taken out of the glass forming device. Cooling section: The high-temperature glass bottle undergoes cooling heat treatment at this position and is cooled from high temperature to medium temperature or normal temperature. Conveyor position: The cooled glass bottle is transferred to this position and enters the next process through a conveying device. Two grippers are provided on the transfer unit for transferring the glass bottle from one position to another. The specific transfer direction is transfer position - cooling section - conveyor belt, forming a cycle.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the application number 202211719219.8 discloses a wine bottle production device, including a glass forming device, an intermediate parking mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The glass forming device is used to blow and form a molten glass block; the conveying mechanism is used to convey the cooled glass bottle to the next processing position; it also includes an intermediate parking mechanism; the intermediate parking mechanism is located between the glass forming device and the conveying mechanism, and the intermediate parking device is used to cool the glass bottle; the clamping mechanism is used to clamp the glass bottle from the glass forming device to the intermediate parking mechanism and to clamp the glass bottle from the intermediate parking mechanism to the conveying mechanism; under high-temperature conditions, the molten glass block is formed in the glass forming device. After forming, the formed glass bottle is transported to the intermediate parking mechanism for cooling by using the clamping mechanism. After cooling, the cooled glass bottle is transported to the conveying mechanism again by using the clamping mechanism, and the cooled glass bottle is conveyed to the next processing position by using the conveying mechanism. During the production process, to improve the utilization rate of the site, generally, several groups of transfer positions and cooling sections are connected by a long conveyor belt (conveyor position). The plane heights of the transfer position and the cooling section are relatively easy to adjust, but the height of the conveyor position (conveyor plane) will change in both the no-load and full-load states, and the adjustment is relatively difficult. When the glass bottle is transferred from the cooling section to the conveyor belt, it may fall over. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a glass bottle transfer device to reduce the adjustment difficulty of the conveyor position and ensure the stable transfer of the transport chain.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a glass bottle transfer device, comprising a frame, a transport chain and an adjustment unit. The transport chain includes a transfer position for receiving high-temperature glass bottles, a cooling section for cooling the high-temperature glass bottles transferred from the transfer position, a conveyor belt for receiving the cooled glass bottles transferred from the cooling section, and a transfer unit for transferring the glass bottles from the transfer position to the cooling section and then from the cooling section to the conveyor belt. The adjustment unit includes a material supporting part, which is made of elastic strip material. One end of the material supporting part is fixed on the frame on the side of the conveyor belt away from the cooling section, and the other end extends above the conveyor belt. When the transfer unit transfers the glass bottle above the conveyor belt, the material supporting part is pushed away from the cooling section by the glass bottle, and the glass bottle is pushed towards the cooling section side by the reaction force.

[0006] Generally speaking, there will be a certain deformation on the transport surface of the conveyor belt between no-load and full-load states, causing the transport surface to shift in the vertical direction. When the transport surface is flush with the surface of the cooling section in the no-load state, there will be a height difference between the conveyor belt and the cooling section in the full-load state. If the glass bottles on the cooling section are directly transferred linearly onto the conveyor belt, and at the same time the conveyor belt is always in motion, the glass bottles will fall from a higher plane, which may cause the glass bottles to topple due to unstable center of gravity, thus affecting the transportation work of the cooled glass bottles. When the transport surface is flush with the surface of the cooling section in the full-load state, when starting, it is necessary to apply a certain pressure to the transport surface through equipment or heavy objects to make the transport surface the same as the full-load state, which seriously affects the production process of glass bottles.

[0007] The beneficial effect of this solution is that through the setting of the material supporting part, when the transfer unit moves the glass bottle from the cooling section above the conveyor belt, the material supporting part will be pushed away by the glass bottle. Subsequently, the auxiliary material part will push the glass bottle back by the reaction force, ensuring that the glass bottle is placed stably on the conveyor belt, preventing the glass bottle from tilting or falling, thus avoiding the height difference between no-load and full-load of the conveyor belt, reducing the adjustment difficulty of the conveyor belt, and further reducing the adjustment difficulty of the conveying position, ensuring the stable transfer of the transport chain.

[0008] Further, the material of the material supporting part is an elastic metal strip.

[0009] Beneficial effect: When the transfer unit transfers the glass bottle above the conveyor belt, the material supporting part is pushed away from the cooling section by the glass bottle, and the glass bottle is pushed towards the cooling section side by the reaction force, preventing the glass bottle from tilting or falling during the transfer process.

[0010] Further, the adjustment unit further includes a guiding part, one end of which is fixedly arranged on the frame on the side of the transport surface close to the cooling section, and the other end extends above the transport surface.

[0011] Beneficial effects: Through the setting of the guiding part, the guiding part can play a role in guiding the glass bottle to smoothly transition to the middle of the conveyor belt, so that the glass bottles are arranged in a straight line on the conveyor belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the guiding part is arc-shaped, and the free end of the arc is tangent to the moving direction of the conveying surface.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The guiding part is set to be arc-shaped, and the free end of the arc is tangent to the moving direction of the conveying surface, making the contact between the guiding part and the glass bottle smoother and reducing the possibility of the glass bottle tipping over.

[0014] Furthermore, the cooling part can be a cooling platform or a cooling tunnel.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The design of the cooling part enables the high-temperature glass bottles to be quickly cooled to room temperature, improving production efficiency and ensuring that the quality of the glass bottles is not affected.

[0016] Furthermore, both the cooling platform and the cooling tunnel are provided with blowing devices. The cooling part is located between the transfer position and the conveyor belt. The blowing device is used to convey cooling gas to the cooling part, and the cooling part is provided with cooling holes.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By designing the blowing device, the hot air around the glass bottle can be quickly replaced, improving the cooling efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the transfer unit includes a driving component and pneumatic fingers slidably mounted on the frame. The driving component is used to drive the pneumatic fingers to slide in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0019] Furthermore, there are two pneumatic fingers. The driving component includes a linear motor and two cylinders. The linear motor is used to drive the two pneumatic fingers to slide on the frame. The two cylinders are fixedly mounted on the mover seat of the linear motor, and the two pneumatic fingers are respectively fixedly mounted on the output shafts of the two cylinders. Fixing the pneumatic fingers on the output shafts of the cylinders, the pneumatic fingers can be adjusted in the vertical plane, with a wider adaptation range.

[0020] Furthermore, both of the two pneumatic fingers each include two clamping jaws, and heat insulation cotton is provided on both of the two clamping jaws.

[0021] Beneficial effects: Through the setting of the heat insulation cotton, it is possible to avoid the problem of the glass bottle exploding caused by the rapid cooling of the clamping part when the glass bottle is clamped. Description of the Drawings

[0023] Figure 2 It is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0024] The following is a further detailed description through specific embodiments:

[0025] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the specification include: wine bottle production equipment 1, cooling table 2, conveyor belt 31, bottle supporting part 32, guiding part 33, guide rail 41, first clamping jaw 421, and second clamping jaw 422.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Embodiment 1 is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1-2 As shown, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the glass bottle transfer device is used to transport the quenched glass bottles or the glass bottles formed in the wine bottle production equipment 1 to the cooling table 2 or the cooling tunnel for cooling, and then transfer them to the subsequent processing process after cooling. In this embodiment, the glass bottles formed in the wine bottle production equipment 1 are first transferred to the cooling table 2 for temporary storage and cooling and then transferred to the subsequent process, including a frame, a transport chain, and an adjustment unit. The transport chain includes a transfer position, a cooling part, a conveyor belt 31, and a transfer unit. Among them, the transfer position is the position of the mold on the wine bottle production equipment 1 near the cooling table 2, and the cooling part is the plane on the cooling table 2 for placing glass bottles.

[0028] The transfer unit includes a driving assembly, a guide rail 41, two pneumatic fingers, a first clamping jaw 421, and a second clamping jaw 422. The driving assembly includes a linear motor and two cylinders. The linear motor is slidably arranged on the guide rail 41, and the two cylinders are fixedly installed on the moving seat of the linear motor. The two pneumatic fingers are respectively welded on the output shafts of the two cylinders. The first clamping jaw 421 and the second clamping jaw 422 are respectively bolted to the output shafts of the two cylinders, and the opening and closing of the first clamping jaw 421 and the second clamping jaw 422 are driven by the pneumatic fingers, so as to be used to clamp the glass bottle and transfer it from the transfer position to the cooling part. The transfer unit drives the pneumatic fingers to slide along the guide rail 41 through the driving assembly to ensure that the glass bottle can be accurately transferred from the transfer position to the cooling part and then from the cooling part to the conveyor belt 3131.

[0029] The adjustment unit includes a bottle supporting part 32 and a guiding part 33. The bottle supporting part 32 is made of elastic strip material. In this embodiment, the bottle supporting part 32 is an elastic metal strip, one end of which is fixed to the side of the conveyor belt 3131 away from the cooling part, and the other end extends above the conveyor belt 3131 to provide a supporting force during the transfer of the glass bottle. When the transfer unit moves the glass bottle from the cooling part above the conveyor belt 3131, the bottle supporting part 32 will be pushed open by the glass bottle. Then, the bottle supporting part 32 pushes the glass bottle back through the reaction force to ensure that the glass bottle is placed stably on the conveyor belt 3131 and prevent the glass bottle from tilting or falling.

[0030] One end of the guiding part 33 is fixed to the side of the conveyor belt 3131 close to the cooling part, and the other end extends above the conveyor belt 3131 to guide the glass bottle to smoothly transition onto the conveyor belt 3131. When the glass bottle is moved from the cooling part to the conveyor belt 3131, the guiding part 33 plays a guiding role. The arc-shaped design of the guiding part 33 enables the glass bottle to move smoothly along the arc-shaped trajectory during the transfer process, reducing the risk of vibration and tilting of the glass bottle.

[0031] During the transfer process, the bottle supporting part 32 and the guiding part 33 work together to ensure that the glass bottle smoothly transitions onto the conveyor belt 3131.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Embodiment 2 is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that: the guiding part 33 is arc-shaped, and the free end of the arc is tangent to the moving direction of the transport surface. This makes the contact between the guiding part and the glass bottle smoother, reducing the possibility of the glass bottle tipping over.
