Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pharmaceutical equipment, and in particular to a bottle conveying device with adjustable bottle spacing. Background Art

[0002] In the context of modern medicine, the pharmaceutical industry is becoming more and more mature, among which the technology of using large-scale production lines for assembly line production of medical drugs is very mature. However, when carrying out assembly line production of medicine bottles with bottle bodies as packaging, due to the intervals between the filling devices, it is necessary to adjust the bottle spacing on the conveyor belt so that it matches the spacing of the canning device. The current bottle spacing adjustment device mostly uses structures such as baffles for manual adjustment. Only after the production line has been trial-run and is correct can formal production be carried out, which seriously affects production efficiency and increases production costs. At the same time, when it is necessary to switch to bottles of different diameters for canning production, it is necessary to suspend the production line operation and replace the bottle spacing adjustment device to adapt to the new bottle body, which not only lengthens the production cycle, but also increases production costs and labor costs.

[0003] For example, the patent application number CN215363404U discloses a spacing adjustment device for a bottle cap conveyor track. The device comprises a first conveyor track, a second conveyor track, and a connecting track. One end of the connecting track is connected to a first connecting member, one side of the first connecting member is fixedly connected to the first conveyor track, one side of the first conveyor track is fixedly connected to a second connecting member, one side of the second connecting member is fixedly connected to the second conveyor track, and one end of the second conveyor track is fixedly mounted to an adjustment seat. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the adjustment seat via a bearing, and a spacing adjustment disk is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. A fixed plate is fixedly mounted on the other end of the adjustment seat, and a conveyor belt mechanism is mounted on the fixed plate. One end of the conveyor belt mechanism is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft via a gear. The aforementioned spacing adjustment mechanism can only adjust the spacing between bottles required for different production batches and is not suitable for bottles or bottle caps of different diameters in different batches. Therefore, the present application provides a bottle conveyor device with adjustable bottle spacing that can adjust the spacing between bottles required for different batches and is suitable for bottles of different diameters in different batches. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a bottle conveying device with adjustable bottle spacing, aiming to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A bottle conveying device with adjustable bottle spacing, including a front conveyor belt, a rear conveyor belt, a support mechanism, an electric slider, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the bottle spacing; the electric slider is slidably connected inside the rear conveyor belt, the adjustment mechanism is rotatably connected to the front conveyor belt through the support mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism is rotatably connected to the electric slider through the support mechanism with a limit, so that the adjustment mechanism can perform circular rotation; both ends of the adjustment mechanism are fixedly connected with spring augers, and a card slot is formed between the two spiral blades on the spring auger. The spring auger transports the bottles on the front conveyor belt into the card slot by rotation and then transports them to the rear conveyor belt. By changing the rotation speed of the spring auger, the bottle spacing can be adjusted. By the displacement of the electric slider, the pitch of the spring auger is changed so that it can be applicable to bottles with different diameter sizes.

[0006] By changing the rotation speed of the spring auger, the transportation speed of the bottles is changed, so that the speed of the bottles entering the rear conveyor belt is different, thereby realizing the adjustment of the bottle spacing. At the same time, the electric slider pulls the adjustment mechanism to displace, thereby stretching the spring auger and changing the pitch of the spring auger, so that the spacing of the card slots is changed to be applicable to bottles with different diameters, preventing the bottles from tipping over or multiple bottles entering the card slots at the same time, so that when replacing bottles with different diameters, there is no need to completely manually replace the adjustment mechanism, which can improve production efficiency, reduce labor and material costs, and shorten the production cycle.

[0007] Further, the rear conveyor belt includes a support plate and a conveyor belt; a horizontally penetrating chute is opened inside the support plate, baffles are bolted on both sides of the front conveyor belt, and a guiding plate is rotatably connected to one of the baffles. The support mechanism includes a first support frame and a second support frame. The upper end of the first support frame is fixedly connected to the adjustment mechanism, the lower end of the first support frame is bolted to the front conveyor belt, the lower end of the second support frame is fixedly connected to the electric slider, and the upper end of the second support frame is rotatably connected to the adjustment mechanism with a limit.

[0008] Further, the electric slider is slidably connected to the chute, both ends of the electric slider extend out of both sides of the support plate, and the parts of the electric slider extending out of both sides of the support plate are bolted to the second support frame. The adjustment mechanism includes a driving wheel, a rotating rod, a driven wheel, and an L-shaped telescopic plate; one end of the driving wheel is rotatably connected to the first support frame, the other end of the driving wheel is inserted into the rotating rod, the surface of the driving wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the spring auger, the end of the rotating rod away from the driving wheel is slidably connected to the driven wheel with a limit so that the rotating rod can drive the driven wheel to rotate, the surface of the driven wheel is fixedly connected to the spring auger, the middle of the spring auger is slidably connected to the rotating rod, one end of the L-shaped telescopic plate is bolted to the baffle, and the other end of the L-shaped telescopic plate is inserted into the upper end of the second support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, positioning holes with different pitches are spirally formed on the rotating rod, and spring round pins are uniformly arranged spirally inside the spring auger. When the spring auger is stretched, the spring round pins can automatically insert into the corresponding positioning holes according to the different pitches of the spring auger to assist in fixing the spring auger. A vertical sliding hole is formed on the side of the rotating rod close to the driven wheel, and a sliding pin inserted into the sliding hole is arranged inside the driven wheel. By arranging the spring round pins to insert into the spirally arranged positioning holes, the spring auger is more evenly stressed when driven to rotate, preventing uneven pitches or insufficient driving force due to stress changes during rotation, and effectively improving the stability of the device.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotation speed of the driving wheel is synchronized with the rotation speed of the front conveyor belt so that the speed of transporting the bottles on the front conveyor belt is the same as the transporting speed of the spring auger, preventing the bottles from piling up and colliding with each other or falling on the front conveyor belt when the required bottle spacing is large, improving the product packaging quality, reducing the bottle breakage rate, and reducing the number of times of production line shutdown for maintenance.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The utility model provides a bottle transporting device with adjustable bottle spacing. By changing the rotation speed of the spring auger to change its transporting speed of the bottles, the speed of the bottles entering the rear conveyor belt is different to adjust the bottle spacing. At the same time, the electric slider pulls the adjusting mechanism to displace and stretch the spring auger, changing the pitch of the spring auger and thus changing the spacing of the card slots to be applicable to bottles with different diameters, preventing the bottles from tipping over or multiple bottles entering the card slots simultaneously, so that when replacing bottles with different diameters, there is no need to completely manually replace the adjusting mechanism, which can improve production efficiency, reduce labor and material costs, and shorten the production cycle.

[0013] By arranging the spring round pins to insert into the spirally arranged positioning holes, the spring auger is more evenly stressed when driven to rotate, preventing uneven pitches or insufficient driving force due to stress changes during rotation, and effectively improving the stability of the device.

Specific embodiments

[0021] 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 of 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 efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: A bottle conveying device with adjustable bottle spacing, including a front conveyor belt 1, a rear conveyor belt 2, a support mechanism 3, an electric slider 4, and an adjustment mechanism 5 for adjusting the bottle spacing; the electric slider 4 is slidably connected inside the rear conveyor belt 2, the adjustment mechanism 5 is rotatably connected to the front conveyor belt 1 through the support mechanism 3, and the adjustment mechanism 5 is rotatably connected to the electric slider 4 through the support mechanism 3 with a limit, so that the adjustment mechanism 5 can perform circular rotation; both ends of the adjustment mechanism 5 are fixedly connected with a spring auger 6, a card slot 7 is formed between two spiral blades on the spring auger 6, the spring auger 6 conveys the bottles on the front conveyor belt 1 into the card slot 7 through rotation and then transports them to the rear conveyor belt 2, and the bottle spacing can be adjusted by changing the rotation speed of the spring auger 6, and the pitch of the spring auger 6 is changed by the displacement of the electric slider 4 so that it can be applicable to bottles of different diameters. Among them, the transmission structures used for the front conveyor belt 1 and the rear conveyor belt 2 are the transmission structures often selected in the production lines in this field.

[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 2, the rear conveyor belt 2 includes a support plate 21 and a conveyor belt 22; a horizontally penetrating chute 23 is provided in the support plate 21. This allows the support mechanism 3 to drive the adjustment mechanism 5 to slide along the chute 23.

[0024] See Figure 1 , baffles 11 are bolted to both sides of the front conveyor belt 1, and a guide plate 12 is rotatably connected to one of the baffles 11. The bottles on the front conveyor belt 1 contact the guide plate 12 and deflect during transportation, causing the bottles to enter the adjustment mechanism 5.

[0025] As another embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the support mechanism 3 includes a first support frame 31 and a second support frame 32. The upper end of the first support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the adjustment mechanism 5, the lower end of the first support frame 31 is bolted to the front conveyor belt 1, the lower end of the second support frame 32 is fixedly connected to the electric slider 4, and the upper end of the second support frame 32 is rotatably connected to the adjustment mechanism 5 with a limit. When the electric slider 4 slides in the chute 23, it drives the second support frame 32 to displace, and then drives the adjustment mechanism 5 to displace. Due to the fixed setting of the first support frame 31, the spring auger 6 is stretched or compressed, thereby changing the pitch of the spring auger 6, so that the size of the card slot 7 can be changed.

[0026] See Figure 1 , the electric slider 4 is slidably connected to the chute 23. Both ends of the electric slider 4 extend out of both sides of the support plate 21, and the parts of the electric slider 4 extending out of both sides of the support plate 21 are bolted to the second support frame 32. A threaded sleeve and a threaded rod are provided in the electric slider 4. By the electric rotation of the threaded rod, the threaded sleeve is displaced, realizing the precise sliding of the electric slider 4.

[0027] As another embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5As shown in the figure, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes a driving wheel 51, a rotating rod 52, a driven wheel 53, and an L-shaped telescopic plate 54. One end of the driving wheel 51 is rotatably connected to the first support frame 31, and the other end of the driving wheel 51 is inserted into the rotating rod 52. The surface of the driving wheel 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring auger 6. The end of the rotating rod 52 away from the driving wheel 51 is slidably connected to the driven wheel 53 with a limit, so that the rotating rod 52 can drive the driven wheel 53 to rotate. The surface of the driven wheel 53 is fixedly connected to the spring auger 6. The middle of the spring auger 6 is slidably connected to the rotating rod 52. One end of the L-shaped telescopic plate 54 is bolted to the baffle 11, and the other end of the L-shaped telescopic plate 54 is inserted into the upper end of the second support frame 32. An electric motor is provided on the upper part of the first support frame 31 and connected to the driving wheel 51. The rotation speed of the electric motor is synchronized with the rotation speed of the front conveyor belt 1. A transmission gear can also be provided inside the first support frame 31 to make the front conveyor belt 1 and the driving wheel 51 be in transmission connection to drive the driving wheel 51 to rotate synchronously. When the driving wheel 51 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 52 to rotate, and at the same time drives the spring auger 6 and the driven wheel 53 to rotate. The bottle body enters the L-shaped telescopic plate 54 from the front conveyor belt 1, is caught by the card slot 7 and pushed to the side of the L-shaped telescopic plate 54. The surfaces of both the L-shaped telescopic plate 54 and the spring auger 6 are made of materials with relatively small friction force to facilitate the sliding of the bottle body. As the spring auger 6 rotates, the bottle body is conveyed onto the rear conveyor belt 2. When it is necessary to adjust the bottle spacing, only the rotation speed of the electric motor or the front conveyor belt 1 needs to be changed, and the time interval for the bottle body to enter the rear conveyor belt 2 is extended or shortened to change the bottle spacing.

[0028] See Figures 4 to 6 , different-spacing positioning holes 521 are spirally provided on the rotating rod 52, and spring round pins 61 are evenly spirally arranged on the inner side of the spring auger 6. When the spring auger 6 is stretched, according to the different pitches, the spring round pins 61 can automatically insert into the corresponding positioning holes 521 to assist in fixing the spring auger 6. A vertical sliding hole 522 is provided on the side of the rotating rod 52 close to the driven wheel 53, and a sliding pin 531 inserted into the sliding hole 522 is provided on the inner side of the driven wheel 53. When the electric slider 4 slides in the sliding groove 23, it drives the spring auger 6 to stretch or compress. During this process, the spring round pins 61 automatically retract and insert into the positioning hole 521 when they are displaced to the next section of the positioning hole 521, so that the spring auger 6 can be fixed on the rotating rod 52 to prevent the spring auger 6 from being unevenly stressed during rotation. By changing the size of the card slot 7, the spring auger 6 can be made suitable for bottle bodies with different diameters. When changing the bottle body, there is no need to replace the spring auger 6. When the electric slider 4 slides, the sliding pin 531 of the driven wheel 53 can slide in the sliding hole 522, so that the driven wheel 53 drives the spring auger 6 to stretch or compress.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, place the bottle on the front end of the front conveyor belt 1, start the device to make the front conveyor belt 1 and the rear conveyor belt 2 convey, and make the driving wheel 51 rotate, driving the rotating rod 52 and the spring auger 6 to rotate. The bottle is guided by the guide plate 12 on the front conveyor belt 1 and enters the L-shaped telescopic plate 54, and is pressed against the side of the L-shaped telescopic plate 54 by the slot 7. As the spring auger 6 rotates, the bottle is conveyed to the rear conveyor belt 2. When the bottle spacing needs to be changed, the speed of the front conveyor belt 1 or the motor is changed to make the driving wheel 5 1 changes its rotation speed, and the time interval for the bottles to enter the rear conveyor belt 2 is extended or shortened to change the bottle spacing. When replacing bottles of different batches, the displacement of the electric slider 4 in the slide groove 23 drives the displacement of the driven wheel 53, thereby causing the spring auger 6 to stretch or compress, so that the diameter of the card slot 7 changes, thereby adapting to bottles of different sizes. When the spring auger 6 is stretched and compressed, the spring round pin 61 inside it will slide and insert into the positioning pins of different groups, so that the spring auger 6 is evenly stressed when rotating.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
