[0034] Example 1:

[0035] Figures 1 to 8The bottle turning and conveying device of the present invention is shown in an embodiment. The bottle turning and conveying device of this embodiment includes a single-row conveying channel 1, a turning roller 2, a rotary drive mechanism 3 and an axial reciprocating drive mechanism 4. The turning roller 2 is rotatably and axially movable outside the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1. A suction component 5 and a bottle blocking portion 6 are provided on the turning roller 2. A avoidance portion 11 is provided on one side of the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1. The suction component 5 is used to suck bottles 7 from the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1. The axial reciprocating drive mechanism 4 is connected to the turning roller 2 for driving the turning roller 2 to move axially to convey the bottles 7 at the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 to the avoidance portion 11. The rotary drive mechanism 3 is connected to the turning roller 2 for driving the turning roller 2 to rotate to turn the bottles 7 to a specified state through the avoidance portion 11. The bottle blocking portion 6 is used to block the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 when the suction component 5 is misaligned with the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1.

[0036] Working process: The single-row conveying channel 1 conveys the bottles 7 in a single row, that is, the bottles 7 are conveyed one by one along the conveying direction of the single-row conveying channel 1 to the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1; the suction component 5 sucks the bottles 7 from the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 Then, the axial reciprocating drive mechanism 4 drives the flip roller 2 to move axially to convey the bottles 7 at the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 to the avoidance portion 11 (as shown). Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the bottle blocking portion 6 blocks the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 when the suction assembly 5 is misaligned with the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1. Then, the rotary drive mechanism 3 drives the flip roller 2 to rotate and flip the bottle body 7 to a specified state through the avoidance portion 11 (for example, flipping the bottle body 7 180 degrees, so that the bottle body 7 is flipped from an upright state to an inverted state). On the one hand, the bottle body 7 is axially driven by the flip roller 2 to the avoidance portion 11 before the rotational bottle flipping is carried out. At this time, the bottle body 7 on the suction assembly 5 is already staggered with the bottle body 7 at the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1, and will not touch. This avoids the front and rear bottles from rotating and touching and causing bottle breakage, and prevents unsuccessful bottle flipping and machine jamming. In addition, after the bottle body 7 at the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 is sucked in and axially conveyed by the suction bottle body 7, the bottle body 7 at the discharge port of the single-row conveying channel 1 is promptly blocked by the bottle blocking portion 6 to prevent it from falling out, waiting to be sucked in, conveyed, and flipped by the sucked bottle body 7. The overall structural design is ingenious, simple and compact.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the suction assembly 5 includes a bottle suction groove 51 and a bottle suction hole provided on the side wall of the bottle suction groove 51. The bottle suction groove 51 is provided on the circumference of the turning roller 2. Furthermore, the bottle suction groove 51 is adapted to the bottle body 7, thereby improving the stability of the bottle body 7 during axial conveying.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the axial reciprocating drive mechanism 4 includes a telescopic drive member 41 and a shift fork 42. The tilting roller 2 is provided with a shifting groove 21. The shift fork 42 is disposed at the driving end of the telescopic drive member 41 and is engaged in the shifting groove 21. The telescopic drive member 41 telescopes, driving the tilting roller 2 axially via the shift fork 42. Preferably, the telescopic drive member 41 extends and retracts in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the tilting roller 2.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the extending direction of the bottle suction groove 51 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the turning roller 2, so as to facilitate the suction of the upright bottle body 7.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least one row of bottle suction troughs 51 is provided. The number of bottle blocking portions 6 is the same as the number of bottle suction troughs 51, and they are arranged alternately along the axial direction of the turning roller 2. The number of single-row conveying channels 1 is the same as the number of bottle suction troughs 51 in a row of bottle suction troughs 51. Each single-row conveying channel 1 is arranged side by side along the axial direction of the turning roller 2. The number of avoidance portions 11 is the same as the number of single-row conveying channels 1, and they are arranged alternately along the axial direction of the turning roller 2. Preferably, two rows of bottle suction troughs 51 are provided, one on each side of the turning roller 2. When removing bottles, each bottle suction trough 51 in a row of bottle suction troughs 51 is aligned with the discharge port of each single-row conveying channel 1, and bottles are simultaneously sucked from the discharge port of each single-row conveying channel 1. Then, the turning roller 2 moves axially to convey each bottle suction trough 51 and the bottles 7 therein to the corresponding avoidance portion 11. Subsequently, the turning roller 2 rotates to simultaneously flip the bottles 7 on the bottle suction troughs 51 to a specified position. In this way, one row of bottles 7 can be sucked at one time, and one row of bottles 7 can be turned over at one time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the avoidance portion 11 is in the shape of a groove with its opening facing the turning roller 2 , so as to facilitate the rotation and passage of the bottle body 7 .

[0042] Furthermore, the single-row conveying channel 1 is used for conveying the bottles 7 in an upright position. The turning roller 2 can turn the bottles 7 from an upright position to an inverted position.

The bottle turning and conveying system of this embodiment includes a vibrating conveying channel 8, a bottle transfer device 9 and the bottle turning and conveying device of Example 1. The vibrating conveying channel 8 is connected to each single-row conveying channel 1. The bottle transfer device 9 is used to transfer the bottle 7 that has been rotated to a specified position by the turning roller 2 to the next workstation.

[0045] Vibrating conveyor duct 8 interfaces with each single-row conveyor duct 1, conveying bottles 7 to each single-row conveyor duct 1. Bottle transfer device 9 is used to transfer bottles 7, which have been rotated by tilting roller 2 to a specified position, to the next workstation, such as an assembly station. This tilting conveying system, including the bottle tilting conveying device, offers all the advantages of a bottle tilting conveying device.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a discharging mechanism 81 is provided at the discharge end of the vibrating conveying channel 8. The discharging mechanism 81 is used to push the bottles 7 at the discharge end of the vibrating conveying channel 8 into each single-row conveying channel 1. The discharging mechanism 81 can evenly distribute the bottles 7 to each single-row conveying channel 1, thereby preventing the occurrence of bottle shortages or insufficient bottles.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 81 includes a reciprocating frame 811, a plurality of dispensing plates 812, and a reciprocating drive assembly 813 for driving the reciprocating frame 811 to reciprocate laterally along the vibrating conveying channel 8. The reciprocating frame 811 is disposed above the vibrating conveying channel 8, and the dispensing plates 812 are disposed at the bottom of the reciprocating frame 811 and spaced apart laterally along the vibrating conveying channel 8. The lateral direction of the vibrating conveying channel 8 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the vibrating conveying channel 8. The reciprocating drive assembly 813 drives the reciprocating frame 811 to reciprocate laterally along the vibrating conveying channel 8, dispensing the bottles 7 to each of the single-row conveying channels 1. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reciprocating driving assembly 813 is a crank-connecting rod driving assembly. The crank drives the reciprocating frame 811 to reciprocate laterally along the vibrating conveying channel 8 through the connecting rod.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the feed opening of the single-row conveying channel 1 is in an "eight" shape with a larger outer portion and a smaller inner portion, so as to facilitate the entry of the bottles 7 .
