[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a sliding valve multi-collection workstation includes a housing 1, an incoming bottle pipe 3, a dropped bottle pipe 2, a baffle, a power unit, and a controller. The incoming bottle pipe 3 is fixed to the housing 1, with its upper end located outside the housing 1 and its lower end extending into the housing 1. The dropped bottle pipe 2 is fixed to the bottom of the housing 1. The axes of the incoming bottle pipe 3 and the dropped bottle pipe 2 coincide. The power unit is disposed inside the housing 1. The power unit includes a power motor 7, a transmission rod 9, and a rocker 10. The power motor 7 is fixed to the housing 1. One end of the transmission rod 9 is mounted on the output shaft of the power motor 7, and the other end is hingedly connected to one end of the rocker 10. The power motor 7 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0030] The baffle comprises a plate body 8, a slide rod 12 and two support plates 11; the plate body 8 is slidably arranged between the incoming bottle pipe 3 and the falling bottle pipe 2; one end of the rocker 10 is hingedly mounted on the plate body 8; a cavity 16 is provided inside the plate body 8, and an opening 17 communicating with the cavity 16 is provided on the side away from the rocker 10; the two support plates 11 are symmetrically arranged in the cavity 16; one end of the support plate 11 extends to the outside of the plate body 8 through the opening 17; the slide rod 12 is fixed to the box body 1; a through hole adapted to the slide rod 12 is provided on the support plate 11, and the slide rod 12 can slidably pass through the through hole; a first inclined surface is provided on the side of the support plate 11 away from the slide rod 12, and a second inclined surface parallel to the first inclined surface is provided in the plate body 8, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are in sliding contact; a guide strip 14 is fixedly provided on the first inclined surface, and a guide groove 15 adapted to the guide strip 14 is provided on the second inclined surface, and the guide strip 14 is slidably placed in the guide groove 15.
[0031] When receiving a pneumatic conveying bottle, the pneumatic conveying bottle falls down from the incoming bottle pipe 3 to the plate body 8 for temporary storage. After the power motor 7 is started, it drives the transmission rod 9 to rotate, and the transmission rod 9 pulls the rocker 10 to move, and the plate body 8 is pulled out from between the incoming bottle pipe 3 and the bottle dropping pipe 2 through the rocker 10. When the plate body 8 is pulled outward, the guide bar 14 slides in the guide groove 15, and the first inclined surface of the support plate 11 slides against the second inclined surface of the plate body 8. The distance between the two support plates 11 gradually increases. When the pneumatic conveying bottle falls from the plate body 8, it will first fall on the two support plates 11. As the distance between the two support plates 11 increases, the start-up conveying bottle falls from the support plate 11 into the bottle dropping pipe 2 and is sent out.
[0032] The setting of the slide bar 12 can guide the movement of the support plate 11, so that the support plate 11 moves along the axis direction of the slide bar 12. The two support plates 11 support the pneumatic conveying bottle, so that the force on both sides of the pneumatic conveying bottle is evenly distributed, ensuring that the pneumatic conveying bottle can fall vertically and avoid tilting or collision during the transportation process. In the existing design, the pneumatic conveying bottle is supported only by the plate body 8. When the plate body 8 moves outward and the plate body 8 is pulled out from under the pneumatic conveying bottle, the pneumatic conveying bottle is unevenly distributed, and there is a risk that the pneumatic conveying bottle may be tilted and stuck in the bottle incoming pipe 3. In this embodiment, the two support plates 11 jointly support the bottle body, which effectively avoids this problem and ensures the stability of the bottle body.
[0033] In this embodiment, two second inclined surfaces are disposed within the plate body 8, corresponding to the two support plates 11. The distance between the second inclined surfaces gradually decreases from one end closest to the slide bar 12 toward the other. This design ensures that as the plate body 8 moves outward, the gap between the support plates 11 gradually increases, facilitating the smooth dropping and transportation of the transport bottles.
[0034] In this embodiment, a booster spring 13 is further included; the booster spring 13 is sleeved on the slide rod 12, with one end fixedly connected to the slide rod 12 and the other end abutting against the plate 8. The provision of the booster spring 13 can effectively provide external support to ensure the normal operation of the support plate 11, and increase a certain amount of pressure on the contact surface between the support plate 11 and the plate 8, thereby facilitating the stable transportation of the bottles.
[0035] In this embodiment, a bottle incoming detection sensor 6 is fixedly mounted on the bottle incoming pipe 3 and is electrically connected to the controller. The sensor monitors the incoming bottle status in real time and transmits the data to the controller, which can adjust the working state of the workstation in a timely manner, such as automatically turning on or off the power motor 7, to ensure smooth passage of the bottles.
[0036] In this embodiment, a fixing block 5 is provided on the bottle-incoming pipe 3, on which an induction coil is mounted. A wire guard 4 is provided outside the induction coil. The induction coil monitors the movement of the bottles, ensuring accurate delivery of the bottles within the bottle-incoming pipe 3. The wire guard 4 protects the induction coil from external interference and damage.
[0037] In this embodiment, the power unit further includes an inductive sensor, which is fixed to the housing 1 and located above the transmission rod 9. The inductive sensor is used to monitor the movement of the transmission rod 9. The inductive sensor can provide timely feedback on the working status of the transmission rod 9, ensuring the coordination and stability of the system during operation and avoiding unnecessary downtime due to equipment failure.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] The operating principle of the sliding valve multi-collection workstation is based on the process of receiving, temporarily storing, and dropping pneumatically transported bottles. The workstation receives pneumatically transported bottles through the incoming bottle pipe 3 and delivers them to the workstation. The power motor 7 in the power unit drives the transmission rod 9, which in turn drives the movement between the rocker 10 and the baffle. The baffle slides between the incoming bottle pipe 3 and the dropped bottle pipe 2 to ensure the stability of the pneumatically transported bottles during the temporary storage and dropping process.
[0040] Pneumatic conveyor bottle receiving: Pneumatic conveyor bottles enter the workstation from the outside through the bottle pipe 3. The bottle body is first supported by the baffle and temporarily stays on the baffle to ensure the stability of the bottle body.
[0041] Power unit drive: The power motor 7 drives the rocker 10 to move through the transmission rod 9. The rocker 10 is hinged to the plate body 8. Through the movement of the plate body 8, the pneumatic conveying bottle is pulled out from between the incoming bottle pipe 3 and the falling bottle pipe 2, and the bottle body starts to fall.
[0042] Function of the pallets 11: As the plates 8 move outward, the gap between the pallets 11 gradually increases, allowing bottles to fall from the plates 8 onto the pallets 11. The pallets 11 support and stabilize the bottles, preventing them from tilting or getting stuck. As the distance between the pallets 11 increases, the bottles fall smoothly from the pallets 11 into the bottle-dropping conduit 2.
[0043] The slide bar 12 cooperates with the guide bar 14: the slide bar 12 guides the movement of the support plate 11, ensuring that the support plate 11 moves along the correct trajectory, keeping the force on both sides of the pneumatic conveying bottle uniform, and effectively preventing the bottle from tilting or getting stuck.
[0044] Assistance of the booster spring 13: The booster spring 13 provides external force support to help the support plate 11 maintain stable operation and ensure the smooth reception and dropping of the bottle body.
[0045] Monitoring system: The detection sensors and induction coils installed on the bottle incoming pipe 3 monitor the flow status of the bottle in real time. The controller automatically adjusts according to these data to ensure the stable operation of the workstation.
[0046] Directions:
[0047] Preparation before starting:
[0048] Ensure that the incoming bottle pipe 3 and the dropping bottle pipe 2 are unobstructed and free of obstacles.
[0049] Check that the power unit is functioning properly, ensuring that the power supply is connected and the controller is powered on.
[0050] Receiving pneumatic conveying bottles:
[0051] The pneumatic conveying bottle is delivered to the workstation through the bottle pipe 3. The bottle detection sensor 6 in the bottle pipe 3 monitors the bottle entering the workstation. The sensor is connected to the controller and automatically adjusts the working state according to the situation.
[0052] Working process:
[0053] The power motor 7 is started, driving the transmission rod 9 to rotate, and then pulling the baffle to move through the rocker 10, so that the pneumatic conveying bottle is pulled out from between the bottle incoming pipe 3 and the bottle dropping pipe 2.
[0054] The supporting plates 11 support the bottle bodies. As the baffles move outward, the gaps between the supporting plates 11 gradually increase, and the bottles fall onto the supporting plates 11 .
[0055] The distance between the supporting plates 11 increases, and the pneumatically transported bottles fall from the supporting plates 11 into the bottle-dropping pipe 2 .
[0056] Bottle flow control:
[0057] The slide bar 12 and the guide bar 14 work together to ensure that the support plate 11 moves along the correct trajectory to prevent the bottle body from tilting or getting stuck.
[0058] The booster spring 13 assists the support plate 11 in stable movement, ensuring the stability and smooth transportation of the bottle body.
[0059] Monitoring and Adjustment:
[0060] The induction coil and induction sensor of the bottle incoming pipe 3 monitor the position of the bottle in real time, and the data is fed back to the controller. The controller makes necessary adjustments based on the sensor data to ensure the correct transmission and processing of the bottle.
[0061] End of work:
[0062] After the collection and delivery of the bottles are completed, the power motor 7 is turned off and the work is stopped. The status of each component is regularly checked to ensure the long-term stable operation of the workstation.
