Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food and medicine packaging, in particular to a bottle separating device. Background Art

[0002] After production and before packaging, row-by-row BFS ampoules require drug inspection. Defective products, such as those with bottle body defects, liquid level at the port, and foreign matter, are primarily rejected. When automated equipment performs continuous online BFS inspection, row-by-row bottles must maintain a certain distance between them as they pass through the inspection camera. This prevents the row-by-row drugs on the front and back panels from appearing within the camera's field of view simultaneously. Otherwise, the camera will identify and reject any drugs that appear simultaneously as unqualified. Therefore, a certain distance must be maintained between the front and back bottles during incoming bottle inspection. There are two types of existing bottle separation structures. The first is to set up a multi-section belt differential bottle separation. This bottle separation method has a complex structure (three servo motors and two brushless motors), many processing requirements, and difficult debugging. In addition, due to the large diameter of the two clamping bottle separation belts, some products with short lengths in row bottles cannot be properly transferred and conveyed. The second is a bottom conveyor belt plus two disc differential bottle separation, that is, the disc speed is lower than the conveyor belt, forming a differential speed. However, row drugs are usually fed continuously, which is easily affected by squeezing, etc., resulting in the problem of bottles not being separated during bottle separation. At the same time, the bottle separation speed is slow, and the equipment detection speed is difficult to improve. Utility Model Content

[0026] Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the bottle separating device of the present invention is shown. The bottle separating device of this embodiment includes a support frame 1, on which a conveyor mesh belt 2, a bottle separating clamping assembly 3, a first position sensor 4, a second position sensor 5 and a third position sensor 6 are provided. The conveyor mesh belt 2 is provided with a bottle conveying channel 21, and fences 22 are provided on both sides of the bottle conveying channel 21. The fences 22 are located on both sides of the bottle head of the bottle body. The bottle separating clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp the bottle body of the bottle body. The first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5 and the third position sensor 6 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveyor mesh belt 2. The first position sensor 4 and the second position sensor 5 are respectively located on both sides of the bottle separating clamping assembly 3.

[0027] The bottle sorting method of the bottle sorting device is as follows: the bottle rows are transported by the conveyor mesh belt 2, and the fences 22 are located on both sides of the bottle heads of the bottle bodies to guide and limit the transportation of the bottle rows. When the continuous bottle rows pass through the first position sensor 4 and the second position sensor 5, the second position sensor 5 detects the bottle row in front, and the first position sensor 4 detects the bottle row in the back. At this time, the bottle sorting clamping assembly 3 clamps the bottle bodies of the bottle row in the back, and the bottle row in the front continues to be transported until the third position sensor 6 detects that the bottle row in front has passed. The bottle sorting clamping assembly 3 releases the clamping, and the bottle row in the back resumes transportation. At this time, there is a certain distance between the bottle row in front and the bottle row in the back, thereby achieving bottle sorting.

[0028] The bottle separating device does not require multiple differential belts, has a simple structure, and is easy to debug. During transportation, the fence 22 is used to guide and limit the bottle heads to prevent the bottle row from tipping over. During bottle separation, the bottle separation clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp the bottle row to ensure the bottle separation and conveying effect.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the positions of the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 are adjustable in both the conveying direction and the height direction. This allows for adjustment of the conveying spacing between rows of bottles, accommodating the sorting of rows of bottles of varying lengths and heights, and provides excellent adaptability.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 are all arranged on the first mounting frame 7. The first mounting frame 7 is provided with a transverse waist-shaped hole 71 and a first vertical waist-shaped hole 72. The transverse waist-shaped hole 71 is connected to the support frame 1 through a first locking member 73, and the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 are connected to the corresponding first vertical waist-shaped hole 72 through a second locking member. By adjusting the connection position of the transverse waist-shaped hole 71 and the support frame 1, the position of the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 in the conveying direction can be adjusted. By adjusting the connection position of the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 with the first vertical waist-shaped hole 72, the installation height of the first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 can be adjusted. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance between the first position sensor 4 and the second position sensor 5 is H, where h < H < 2h. The first position sensor 4 is located near the bottle-separating clamping assembly 3. The distance between the third position sensor 6 and the second position sensor 5 is L, where L > h, where h is the length of the bottle row. After bottle separation, the spacing between the bottles in the row is greater than h to ensure the spacing between the bottles.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottle separating device further includes an anti-overlapping clamping assembly 8, which is located on the side of the first position sensor 4 away from the bottle separating clamping assembly 3. The anti-overlapping clamping assembly 8 and the bottle separating clamping assembly 3 simultaneously perform clamping and releasing actions, blocking subsequent bottles from being fed in, and preventing squeezing caused by continuous feeding.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance between the anti-stack clamping assembly 8 and the bottle separating clamping assembly 3 is X, where X>h, to prevent the anti-stack clamping assembly 8 and the bottle separating clamping assembly 3 from clamping the same bottle row.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the positions of the bottle separation clamping assembly 3 and the anti-stack clamping assembly 8 are adjustable in height, so as to adapt to the clamping of bottle rows of different heights and have good adaptability.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottle-separating clamping assembly 3 and the anti-stacking clamping assembly 8 are mounted on a second mounting bracket 9. The second mounting bracket 9 is provided with a second vertical waist-shaped hole 91, which is connected to the support frame 1 via a third locking member 92. The support frame 1 is provided with a height adjustment rod 11. The second mounting bracket 9 is slidably mounted on the height adjustment rod 11 and locked to the height adjustment rod 11 via a fourth locking member 93. The installation height of the bottle-separating clamping assembly 3 and the anti-stacking clamping assembly 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the connection position of the second vertical waist-shaped hole 91 and the support frame 1. The height adjustment rod 11 provides a guide for adjusting the height of the bottle-separating clamping assembly 3 and the anti-stacking clamping assembly 8. Preferably, a ruler is provided on the height adjustment rod 11 to observe the height adjustment value.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the anti-overlapping clamping assembly 8 and the bottle separating clamping assembly 3 each include a clamping cylinder 101 and a high-speed solenoid valve 102 connected to the clamping cylinder 101. The first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 are all electrically connected to a controller, which is connected to the high-speed solenoid valve 102. The first position sensor 4, the second position sensor 5, and the third position sensor 6 transmit the detected bottle row position information to the controller, which controls the opening and closing of the height solenoid valve 102 to achieve clamping and releasing of the clamping cylinder 101, with a fast response speed to ensure effective bottle separation. Preferably, the clamping plate width of the clamping cylinder 101 should be less than h to prevent one clamping cylinder 101 from clamping two bottle rows simultaneously.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the spacing between the fences 22 on both sides is adjustable, so as to adapt to the guidance and positioning of bottle rows of different widths.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first position sensor 4 , the second position sensor 5 and the third position sensor 6 are all photoelectric position sensors with simple structure and sensitive sensing.

Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the present invention, utilize the technical content disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent variations.
