Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juice production technology, and in particular to a juice packaging bottle conveying device with bottle handling function. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high pressure (HPP) sterilization equipment effectively kills bacteria and mold in beverages and foods by applying a pressure of 400MPa-600MPa in a sealed container and using water as a medium. It can also preserve the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients in fruit juice without adding preservatives, thus ensuring the flavor and nutrition of the juice.

[0003] In existing technologies, after sterilization by ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment, juice bottles still need to be dried and packed. Therefore, operators need to manually remove the bottles from the equipment and transfer them to the operating position, then manually wipe the water off the outside of the bottles before packing them. This manual method of transferring and conveying the bottles is inefficient, labor-intensive, and costly, and it can also easily lead to a messy production site. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a juice packaging bottle conveying device with bottle handling function to address the problems of low conveying efficiency, high labor intensity, high labor costs, and difficulty in maintaining a clean and orderly production site in the existing technology of manually transferring and conveying packaging bottles at the discharge end of ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0006] A juice bottle conveying device with bottle handling function includes at least one draining conveying mechanism. The discharge end of a single draining conveying mechanism is connected to a first conveyor belt, which is used to convey tilted bottles. A second conveyor belt is installed on one side of the single first conveyor belt, which is used to convey upright bottles.

[0007] A first limiting mechanism is installed at the feed end of a single first conveyor belt, which ensures that all the packaging bottles on the second conveyor belt are in a tilted state.

[0008] A single draining conveyor vibrates, thereby driving the packaging bottles on its conveying end face to jump forward and reach the corresponding first conveyor belt via the first limiting mechanism. At the same time, the packaging bottles on its conveying end face are drained during the jumping forward process.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0010] The structure of a single drain conveying mechanism is as follows: it includes a support frame, a conveying disc is mounted on the top of the support frame by several springs, several drain holes are opened on the end face of the conveying disc, and a vibrator is mounted on the bottom of the conveying disc. Under the action of the vibrator, the conveying disc sways relative to the support frame, thereby causing the packaging bottles on the conveying disc to jump forward.

[0011] In a single drain conveying mechanism, the output end of the vibrator is connected to the bottom end face of the conveying disc through a transmission plate. The two ends of the transmission plate are respectively connected to triangular reinforcing plates, and both reinforcing plates are fixed to the bottom of the conveying disc.

[0012] In a single drain conveying mechanism, a liquid receiving tray is installed on the support frame. The liquid receiving tray is arranged directly below the conveying tray and is used to receive water flowing out through the drain holes.

[0013] The structure of a single first limiting mechanism is as follows: it includes a box body, and limiting grooves are opened on the opposite two side walls of the box body. The depth of a single limiting groove is greater than the thickness of the packaging bottle and less than the height of the packaging bottle, so that the packaging bottles passing through the limiting groove are all in a tilted state.

[0014] Several conveyor tracks are set on a single second conveyor belt, and each conveyor track is used to transport packaging bottles at the same height.

[0015] Several second limiting mechanisms are installed on a single second conveyor belt. The structure of a single second limiting mechanism is as follows: it includes a mounting frame fixed on the corresponding second conveyor belt, the mounting frame supports a limiting rod arranged in the horizontal direction, and the arrangement height of the limiting rod is greater than the height of the packaging bottle to be conveyed by the corresponding conveyor track.

[0016] The discharge end of a single second conveyor belt is connected to the inlet end of the second return conveyor belt via a first return conveyor belt, and the discharge end of the second return conveyor belt is connected to the inlet end of the corresponding drain conveying mechanism via a third return conveyor belt.

[0017] The third return conveyor belt is equipped with branch conveyor belts that convey materials in two relatively horizontal directions, and a material separation plate is installed between the two branch conveyor belts.

[0018] A guide plate assembly is installed at the feed end of a single first conveyor belt, and the guide plate assembly is arranged in front of the corresponding first limiting mechanism.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By setting up a draining conveyor mechanism, it can drain water during the conveying of packaging bottles, thereby accelerating the drying of the packaging bottles. By setting up a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt, it can convey tilted packaging bottles and upright packaging bottles respectively, thereby facilitating the subsequent automatic boxing operation by the robotic arm. The working process is orderly and highly automated, effectively reducing the amount of manual labor. The overall conveying efficiency of the conveying device is high, which can effectively reduce the intensity of manual labor and reduce labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The specific implementation of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The structure and function of this utility model are as follows:

[0035] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a juice bottle conveying device includes at least one draining conveying mechanism 3. The discharge end of a single draining conveying mechanism 3 is connected to a first conveyor belt 1, which is used to convey tilted bottles 10. A second conveyor belt 2 is installed on one side of the single first conveyor belt 1, which is used to convey upright bottles 10. A first limiting mechanism 8 is installed at the inlet end of the single first conveyor belt 1, which ensures that all bottles 10 on the second conveyor belt 2 are in a tilted state. The single draining conveying mechanism 3 vibrates, thereby driving the bottles 10 on its conveying end face to jump forward and reach the corresponding first conveyor belt 1 via the first limiting mechanism 8. At the same time, the bottles 10 on its conveying end face are drained during the jumping forward process. By setting up a draining conveyor mechanism 3, the packaging bottles 10 can be drained during the conveying process, thereby accelerating the drying of the packaging bottles 10. By setting up a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2, the tilted packaging bottles 10 and the upright packaging bottles 10 can be conveyed respectively, which facilitates the subsequent automatic boxing operation by the robotic arm. The working process is orderly and highly automated, effectively reducing the amount of manual labor. The overall conveying efficiency of the conveying device is high, which can effectively reduce the intensity of manual labor and reduce labor costs.

[0036] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the structure of a single drain conveying mechanism 3 is as follows: it includes a support frame 301, a conveying disc 302 is mounted on the top of the support frame 301 via several springs 306, several drain holes 303 are opened on the end face of the conveying disc 302, and a vibrator 305 is mounted on the bottom of the conveying disc 302. Under the action of the vibrator 305, the conveying disc 302 shakes relative to the support frame 301, thereby causing the packaging bottle 10 on the conveying disc 302 to jump forward. By setting the drain holes 303, the water droplets shaken off the packaging bottle 10 can flow out of the conveying disc 302, avoiding water accumulation on the conveying disc 302.

[0037] In a single drain conveying mechanism 3, the output end of the vibrator 305 is connected to the bottom end face of the conveying tray 302 via a transmission plate. Both ends of the transmission plate are connected to triangular reinforcing plates 307, which are fixed to the bottom of the conveying tray 302. By setting the reinforcing plates 307, the structural strength of the drain conveying mechanism 3 can be improved, preventing the conveying tray 302 from tearing due to vibration. Simultaneously, the triangular shape of the reinforcing plates 307 generates an upward-sloping force composed of a vertically upward force and a horizontally forward force, thereby enabling the vibrator 302 to drive the packaging bottle 302 to jump forward.

[0038] In a single drain conveying mechanism 3, a liquid receiving tray 304 is installed on the support frame 301. The liquid receiving tray 304 is arranged directly below the conveying tray 302 and is used to receive water flowing out through the drain hole 303 to avoid polluting the production site and ensure the cleanliness of the production site.

[0039] When the packaging bottle 10 of this utility model is in an upright state, such as Figure 7 As shown in the figure, T represents the thickness of the packaging bottle 10, and H represents the height of the packaging bottle 10; when the packaging bottle 10 is in a tilted state, as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the larger side of the packaging bottle 10 is facing down and is in contact with the conveying end face.

[0040] The structure of a single first limiting mechanism 8 is as follows: it includes a box body 801, and limiting grooves 802 are formed on both opposite side walls of the box body 801. The depth of a single limiting groove 802 is greater than the thickness of the packaging bottle 10 and less than the height of the packaging bottle 10, so that the packaging bottles 10 passing through the limiting grooves 802 are all in a tilted state. Only the packaging bottles 10 in the tilted state can pass smoothly through the limiting grooves 802. The packaging bottles 10 in other states are pushed to the tilted state by the box body 801 when passing through the limiting grooves 802, thereby ensuring that the packaging bottles 10 entering the first conveyor belt 1 are all in a tilted state.

[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a single second conveyor belt 2 is equipped with several conveyor tracks, each used to convey packaging bottles 10 of the same height. In this invention, by setting several guide belts, multiple conveyor tracks are separated on the second conveyor belt 2, and each conveyor track is used to convey packaging bottles 10 of the same height, thereby distinguishing different types of packaging bottles 10 and facilitating subsequent automatic boxing by industrial robots.

[0042] Several second limit mechanisms 9 are installed on a single second conveyor belt 2, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the structure of a single second limiting mechanism 9 includes a mounting frame 901 fixed to the corresponding second conveyor belt 2. The mounting frame 901 supports a limiting rod 902 arranged in a horizontal direction. The height of the limiting rod 902 is greater than the height of the packaging bottle 10 to be conveyed on the corresponding conveyor track. By setting the second limiting mechanism 9, the height of the packaging bottle 10 on each conveyor track is made uniform.

[0043] In addition, the second limiting mechanism 9 arranged at the entrance of the corresponding conveying track also includes a baffle 903, which is fixed to the corresponding mounting bracket 901 and arranged on one side of the entrance of the corresponding conveying track, thereby preventing the corresponding packaging bottle 10 from entering other conveying tracks.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, to improve system efficiency, this utility model symmetrically arranges two drain conveying mechanisms 3, two first conveyor belts 1, and two second conveyor belts 2, resulting in a compact layout that enables fully automated and efficient production. Furthermore, a first robotic arm is positioned beside each of the two drain conveying mechanisms 3 for feeding the packaging bottles 10, transporting them to the respective mechanisms. Industrial robots (not shown in the attached diagram) are positioned beside each of the two second conveyor belts 2, each used to automatically pack the packaging bottles 10 from the corresponding outlet end of the second conveyor belt 2. Second robotic arms are positioned above each of the two first conveyor belts 1 and the corresponding second conveyor belt 2, respectively, to pick up tilted packaging bottles 10 from the first conveyor belt 1, flip them to an upright position, and then place them onto the corresponding conveyor track of the second conveyor belt 2.

[0045] The discharge end of a single second conveyor belt 2 is connected to the inlet end of the second return conveyor belt 5 via the first return conveyor belt 4, and the discharge end of the second return conveyor belt 5 is connected to the inlet end of the corresponding drain conveying mechanism 3 via the third return conveyor belt 6. By setting up the first recycling conveyor belt 4, the second return conveyor belt 5, and the third return conveyor belt 6, packaging bottles 10 that have not yet been uprighted can be returned to the conveyor tray 302 and re-flipped by the second robotic arm, thereby improving the automation level of the system and reducing manual intervention.

[0046] The third return conveyor belt 6 is equipped with branch conveyor belts that convey materials in two relatively horizontal directions. A material dividing plate 7 is installed between the two branch conveyor belts. The material dividing plate 7 is V-shaped and can guide the packaging bottles 10 at the discharge end of the second return conveyor belt 5 to the two branch conveyor belts of the third return conveyor belt 6, so as to avoid material accumulation at the discharge end of the second return conveyor belt 5.

[0047] A guide plate assembly 11 is installed at the feed end of a single first conveyor belt 1, and the guide plate assembly 11 is arranged in front of the corresponding first limiting mechanism 8. The guide plate assembly 11 is used to collect the packaging bottles 10 on the first conveyor belt 1 into the corresponding limiting groove 802.

[0048] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0049] The first robotic arm moves the packaging bottle 10 onto a conveyor plate 302. At the same time, the corresponding vibrator 305 is activated, driving the conveyor plate 302 to vibrate, thereby causing the packaging bottle 10 to bounce forward and drain water from the packaging bottle 10.

[0050] Subsequently, the packaging bottle 10 jumps forward to the corresponding first conveyor belt 1, and the second robotic arm above the first conveyor belt 1 grabs the packaging bottle 10 one by one, flips it 90° to stand upright, and places the upright packaging bottle 10 on one of the conveyor tracks of the corresponding second conveyor belt 2.

[0051] Finally, the upright packaging bottle 10 is discharged via the second conveyor belt 2, and automatically boxed and packaged by an industrial robot at the discharge end of the second conveyor belt 2.

[0052] The packaging bottles 10 that were missed by the second robotic arm are sent to the first recycling conveyor belt 4 via the second conveyor belt 2, and then sequentially sent back to the conveyor plate 302 of one of the drain conveying mechanisms 3 via the first recycling conveyor belt 4, the second recycling conveyor belt 5, and the third recycling conveyor belt 6 for flipping.

[0053] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
