Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of product detection, in particular to a bottle turning mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With consumers paying increasing attention to product quality and safety, as well as strict regulatory requirements, bottled liquid impurity testing is a necessary step after product processing, and the adequacy of testing directly affects the final quality of the product.
[0003] Currently, the inspection of bottled liquids only involves light inspection when the bottle is in an upright state, without considering the impact of the bottle cap itself. As a result, even if the product has passed the inspection, foreign matter in the bottle cap may be washed away by bumps during the complex transportation process, causing the contents to be mixed with foreign matter, resulting in abnormalities or dirtiness of the product after it is sold to consumers, bringing a series of adverse effects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to improve the adequacy of product inspection and thus improve product quality during shipment, the present application provides a bottle turning mechanism.
[0005] This application provides a bottle turning mechanism, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] The conveyor belt is fixed to the frame and is provided with a plurality of guide rails, the guide rails being arranged on the frame to move the bottles toward the conveyor belt.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, before the light inspection, the bottle is first transported to the feeding end of the conveyor belt. When the bottle is transported to the notch, the bottle is stuck between the two guide rods near the bottle mouth. The bottle is flipped by the guiding effect of the two guide rods and the guiding effect of the flip climbing platform, and gradually tilted and flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and then flipped back to a vertical state. During the process, the bottle body will fall into the conveying screw, and the bottle is stably conveyed by the conveying screw; when the bottle is flipped to a horizontal state, the liquid in the bottle will enter the bottle cap and flush the bottle cap; if there is residue in the bottle cap, it will be detected during the subsequent light inspection, thereby making the product inspection more complete and improving the product quality at the time of shipment; and the equipment can be set on the conveying path between the previous process and the light inspection, and the operation is completed during the product conveying process, saving space, not affecting the overall layout of the production workshop, and reducing costs.
[0008] Preferably, a pair of flip auxiliary blocks are installed on the guard plate on which the flip climbing platform is installed, and the two flip auxiliary blocks are arranged on both sides of the flip climbing platform. The flip auxiliary block is provided with a guide surface on the side facing the notch, and the guide surface is inclined from the end of the flip auxiliary block away from the flip climbing platform toward the direction close to the notch.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the height of the bottle is high, the bottle is prone to shaking and deflecting when it is guided and flipped only by two guide rods. Therefore, a flip auxiliary block is added to limit the bottle in the process of flipping from upright to initial tilt, making the bottle more stable during the flipping process.
[0010] Preferably, guide rods are provided at both ends of the guide rod, and the guide rods extend toward the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the bottle near the bottle mouth can enter between the two guide rods while the bottle is still being transported vertically, making the subsequent entry into the two curved and extended guide rods smoother.
[0012] Preferably, the cross sections of the guide rod and the guiding rod are both circular.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottles can be transported more smoothly and with less resistance.
[0014] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a first adjustment component for adjusting the distance between the two guide rods and adjusting the height of the guide rods.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance and height between the two guide rods can be adjusted to meet the processing needs of products of different sizes.
[0016] Preferably, the first adjusting assembly includes a pair of cross bars, two rows of vertical bars and two rows of connecting rods, the two cross bars are respectively installed on both sides of the frame, and the two cross bars correspond to the two guide rods one-to-one; the two rows of vertical bars are respectively installed on the two cross bars, and the vertical bars in the same row are installed on the cross bars at intervals toward the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and one end of the vertical bar is passed through the cross bar and slidably installed on the cross bar in the vertical direction; the two rows of connecting rods are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two rows of vertical bars, one end of the connecting rod is passed through the vertical bar and slidably installed on the vertical bar in the horizontal direction, and the other end is connected to the guide rod; the first adjusting assembly also includes a first locking member for limiting the sliding position of the vertical bar and a second locking member for limiting the sliding position of the connecting rod.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guide rods, the second locking piece is first used to loosen the constraint on the connecting rod, and then the connecting rod is made to slide on the vertical rod to complete the adjustment; when it is necessary to adjust the height of the guide rod, the first locking piece is first used to loosen the constraint on the vertical rod, and then the vertical rod is made to slide on the cross rod to complete the adjustment; this structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0018] Preferably, the first locking member comprises a locking screw, which is threadedly mounted on a position of the cross bar corresponding to the vertical bar, and an end of the locking screw abuts against the vertical bar.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is only necessary to twist the locking screw so that the end of the locking screw leaves the vertical pole to loosen the restraint on the vertical pole, which is easy to operate.
[0020] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a second adjustment component for adjusting the distance between the two guard plates and adjusting the height of the guard plates.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance and height between the two guard plates can be adjusted to meet the processing needs of products of different sizes.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. When the bottle is turned to a horizontal position, the liquid in the bottle will enter the bottle cap and flush it. If there is any residue in the bottle cap, it will be detected during the subsequent optical inspection, thus making the product inspection more thorough and improving the product quality at the time of shipment. In addition, the equipment can be installed on the conveying path between the previous process and the optical inspection, and the operation can be completed during the product transportation process, saving space, not affecting the overall layout of the production workshop, and reducing costs.

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0032] The embodiment of the present application discloses a bottle turning mechanism. Figure 1 and Figure 2The bottle turning mechanism comprises a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 and a guard plate 3. The conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the frame 1 and extends in the horizontal direction. Guard plates 3 are installed on both sides of the frame 1 in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The guard plates 3 extend in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. A notch 31 is opened in the middle position of one of the guard plates 3. A conveying screw 4 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 corresponding to the notch 31. The conveying screw 4 extends in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The frame 1 is equipped with a driving member 11 for driving the conveying screw 4 to rotate. In this embodiment, the driving member 11 is a motor. The driving member 11 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the driving member 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the conveying screw 4; a pair of guide rods 5 are installed on the frame 1 and located just above the conveying screw 4. The two guide rods 5 are used for the bottle to be stuck near the bottle mouth position. The two guide rods 5 bend and extend along a predetermined path. The predetermined path is the walking path when the bottle is flipped from a vertical state to a horizontal state and then flipped from a horizontal state back to a vertical state.
[0033] A turning and climbing platform 6 is fixedly installed on a guard plate 3 away from the notch 31. The top of the turning and climbing platform 6 is arc-shaped. When the two guide rods 5 guide the bottle to turn over, the bottom of the bottle moves along the arc surface of the turning and climbing platform 6. When the bottle is turned over to the horizontal, the bottom of the bottle is at the highest point of the turning and climbing platform 6; therefore, when the bottle is transported to the corresponding notch 31 on the conveyor belt, the bottle is guided by the two guide rods 5 and the turning and climbing platform 6, so that the bottle is transformed from a vertical state to a horizontal state and then to a vertical state, so that the liquid in the bottle flushes the inner wall of the bottle cap, so that impurities in the bottle cap can be detected during the subsequent light inspection.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A pair of flip auxiliary blocks 7 are also installed on the guard plate 3 on which the flip climbing platform 6 is installed. The two flip auxiliary blocks 7 extend along the length direction of the guard plate 3. The two flip auxiliary blocks 7 are arranged on both sides of the flip climbing platform 6 in the length direction of the guard plate 3. A guide surface 71 is provided on the side of the flip auxiliary block 7 facing the notch 31. The guide surface 71 is inclined from the end of the flip auxiliary block 7 away from the flip climbing platform 6 toward the direction close to the notch 31; thereby, when a higher bottle is flipped, a limiting effect is achieved, making the bottle flipping more stable.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 Both ends of the guide rod 5 are integrally formed with a guide rod 8, which extends toward the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The two guide rods 8 at the same end are also used for the bottle to be inserted near the bottle mouth. The guide rod 8 is used to guide the bottle when it moves vertically in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2; the cross-sections of the guide rod 5 and the guide rod 8 are both circular, making the guidance smoother.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The guide rod 5 and the guide rod 8 integrally formed with each other are collectively referred to as the main rod. The frame 1 is equipped with a first adjusting component 9 for adjusting the distance between the two main rods and adjusting the height of the main rod; the frame 1 is also equipped with a second adjusting component 10 for adjusting the distance between the two guard plates 3 and adjusting the height of the guard plates 3; in this embodiment, the structure and adjustment method of the first adjusting component 9 and the second adjusting component 10 are the same, which will not be repeated here. The following description will take the first adjusting component 9 as an example.
[0037] The first adjustment component 9 includes a pair of cross bars 91, two rows of vertical bars 92 and two rows of connecting rods 93. The cross bars 91 extend in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The two cross bars 91 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the frame 1. The two cross bars 91 correspond to the two guide rods 5 one by one. The vertical bars 92 extend in the vertical direction. The two rows of vertical bars 92 are respectively mounted on the two cross bars 91. Several vertical bars 92 in the same row are installed at intervals in the length direction of the cross bars 91. The cross bars 91 are provided with first sliding holes 911 at the positions corresponding to the vertical bars 92. The bottom ends of the vertical bars 92 are passed through the first sliding holes 911 and are slidably mounted on the cross bars 91 in the vertical direction. The two rows of connecting rods 93 and the two rows The vertical rods 92 correspond one to one, and the connecting rods 93 are installed at the top ends of the vertical rods 92. Second sliding holes 921 are opened at the positions of the vertical rods 92 corresponding to each connecting rod 93. One end of the connecting rod 93 is passed through the second sliding hole 921 and is slidably installed on the vertical rod 92 in the horizontal direction, and the other end is fixedly connected to the guide rod 5 or the guide rod 8; the first adjustment component 9 also includes a first locking member 94 for limiting the sliding position of the vertical rod 92 and a second locking member 95 for limiting the sliding position of the connecting rod 93; in this embodiment, the structure and restriction method of the first locking member 94 and the second locking member 95 are the same, which will not be repeated here. The following description will be taken as an example of the first locking member 94.
[0038] The first locking member 94 includes a locking screw 941, which is threadedly installed on the cross bar 91 at a position corresponding to the vertical bar 92. One end of the locking screw 941 extends into the first sliding hole 911 and abuts against the outer wall of the vertical bar 92, and the other end extends out of the cross bar 91 and is fixedly installed with a twisting block 942.
[0039] The implementation principle of a bottle turning mechanism in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: before light inspection, the bottle is first conveyed to the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the bottle is stuck between the two guide rods 8 near the bottle mouth; when the bottle is conveyed to the gap 31, the bottle is stuck between the two guide rods 5 near the bottle mouth, and is turned over by the guiding effect of the two guide rods 5 and the guiding effect of the turning climbing platform 6, and is gradually tilted and turned over from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and then turned back to a vertical state. During this process, the bottle body will fall into the conveying screw 4, and the bottle is stably conveyed by the conveying screw 4.
[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
