Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically a bottle stopper vibration conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the bottle stopper conveying process of equipment such as eye drop filling machines, limit devices are usually installed on both sides of the bottle stopper to prevent it from shifting its posture or tipping over during conveying. However, during the transition of the bottle stopper from the vibrator slide to the feeding slide, the limit structure is often only arranged on one side, and the other side lacks effective limit. This can easily lead to changes in the posture of the bottle stopper, positional deviation, or even jamming in the transition section, thus affecting the continuity and stability of the conveying.

[0003] Eye drop bottle stoppers typically have a special conical opening structure, consisting of a conical stopper body that seals with the bottle opening and an annular flange extending from the outer circumference of the stopper body. While achieving a sealing performance, this conical opening structure makes the stopper more prone to rolling or overturning during slide transport due to contact between the conical surface and the limiting structure. When the limiting structure is improperly arranged or missing, the conical opening of the stopper may interfere with the slide wall at the transition section, causing the stopper's posture to change or even become inverted, affecting the accuracy of subsequent directional stoppering and potentially causing production line stoppages or equipment malfunctions.

[0004] In view of this, we will study and improve upon the existing problems and provide a bottle stopper vibration conveying device to solve the current problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle stopper vibration conveying device with high accuracy in bottle stopper sorting and high feeding efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bottle stopper vibration conveying device, including a material basin, a material guiding assembly, a material sorting tray, and an oscillating cone.

[0007] The material container is equipped with a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a main shaft; the main shaft is connected to an eccentric vibrator;

[0009] The feeding tray is set inside the feeding basin and is driven to rotate by the main shaft. It also has multiple circumferentially distributed feeding grooves on its outer periphery. The shape of each feeding groove is adapted to the conical structure of the bottle stopper surface.

[0010] The oscillating cone core is sleeved on the outside of the eccentric oscillator and is slidably supported by the material feeding tray; the material basin is provided with a flexible connector to limit the wide-range rotation of the oscillating cone core, so that the oscillating cone core swings under the drive of the eccentric oscillator.

[0011] Preferably, the material feeding tray and the main shaft are connected by a reduction gear set, and the material feeding tray and the main shaft are arranged coaxially.

[0012] Preferably, both the material basin and the material sorting tray are arranged at an inclination, and the bottom of the material basin is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to the material guiding assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the guide rod has an arc-shaped structure that causes the bottle stopper to flip in a set direction.

[0015] Preferably, the feeder is provided with a discharge port adapted to the size of the bottle stopper and an electrically controlled brake.

[0016] Preferably, the discharge device is further equipped with an electrically controlled brake.

[0017] Preferably, the eccentric oscillator is provided with a bearing located inside the oscillating cone core on its exterior, and the eccentric oscillator is driven to oscillate through the bearing.

[0018] Preferably, the oscillating cone core is arranged coaxially with the main shaft, and the oscillating cone core is conical with a multi-step structure on its surface.

[0019] Preferably, each of the material troughs is evenly distributed along the outer periphery of the material handling tray.

[0020] The bottle stopper vibration conveying device provided by this utility model can drive the material sorting disc to rotate while making the vibrating cone core swing at high frequency, thereby prompting the bottle stoppers to quickly enter the material trough and be stably arranged, with high bottle stopper sorting accuracy and feeding efficiency.

[0021] In addition, by setting up a circumferential material trough inside the material basin that is adapted to the conical opening structure of eye drop bottle stoppers, the conical opening structure of the eye drop bottle stoppers is rationally utilized. Combined with the multi-stage step limiting and diversion function of the oscillating cone core, the bottle stoppers can quickly and stably enter each material trough and achieve inverted arrangement during the oscillation process, which further improves the accuracy of directional sorting and the feeding efficiency.

[0022] Through the coordinated operation of the arc-shaped sliding guide rod and the discharge device in the material guiding assembly, the bottle stopper is flipped and released in a single row before entering the unloading station. It also effectively solves the problems of bottle stopper posture deviation, jamming and inaccurate stoppering caused by insufficient limit of the transition section in the existing technology, ensuring the continuity and stability of the eye drop filling process.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] The core of this utility model is to provide a bottle stopper vibration conveying device, which has high accuracy in bottle stopper sorting and high feeding efficiency.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-5 In the first specific embodiment, the bottle stopper vibration conveying device provided by this utility model has a main structure including a material basin 100, a material guiding component 200, a material sorting plate 300, and an oscillating cone core 400.

[0037] The material tray 100 can be fixedly connected to the motor 110 on its bottom surface. The output end of the motor 110 is connected to the main shaft 120. The surface of the main shaft 120 is provided with a reduction gear set 130 for meshing and transmission with the inner side of the material tray 300.

[0038] An eccentric oscillator 121 can also be fixedly sleeved on the surface of the main spindle 120. The eccentric oscillator 121 is located inside the oscillating cone 400 and is used to drive the oscillating cone 400 to generate oscillating vibration when the main spindle 120 rotates.

[0039] The material guiding assembly 200 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the material container 100, and may specifically include a fixing ear 210, a sliding guide rod 211 extending along the fixing ear 210, and a discharge device 220 disposed at the end of the sliding guide rod 211. The material guiding assembly 200 is used to guide and flip the bottle stopper during output, so that the bottle stopper enters the subsequent process in a set posture.

[0040] A feeding tray 300 is disposed within a feeding basin 100, and the surface of the feeding tray 300 is provided with multiple feeding grooves 310 distributed circumferentially. The multiple feeding grooves 310 can be evenly distributed, and their shape is adapted to the conical structure of the surface of the eye drop bottle stopper or other bottle stopper, for guiding the eccentric vibrator 121 to output the bottle stopper in an inverted manner. The feeding tray 300 is coaxially arranged inside the feeding basin 100, and is driven by the motor 110 to achieve synchronous rotation with the main shaft 120 through the reduction gear set 130.

[0041] The eccentric oscillator 121 can be installed on the outer circumferential surface of the main shaft 120, and a bearing located inside the oscillating cone 400 can be provided on the surface of the eccentric oscillator 121; the surface of the material feeding plate 300 slides against the bottom surface of the oscillating cone 400, that is, the oscillating cone 400 can be slidably supported by the material feeding plate 300.

[0042] The inner side of the feed basin 100 is provided with a flexible connector to limit the wide-range rotation of the oscillating cone 400, enabling the oscillating cone 400 to oscillate at high frequency during the eccentric rotation of the eccentric oscillator 121, thereby achieving a stable inverted arrangement of the bottle stoppers in the feed groove 310 on the surface of the feed tray 300. The term "wide-range" here does not emphasize a specific amplitude value, but rather refers to the need to limit a rotation with a wider amplitude compared to the high-frequency oscillation. The specific form of the flexible connector can be selected from existing technologies according to the aforementioned objectives.

[0043] The guide rod 211 in the guide assembly 200 has an arc-shaped structure. The guide rod 211 cooperates with the discharge device 220 so that the inverted eye drop bottle stopper that is conveyed flips in a set direction and enters the subsequent process as it slides along the guide rod 211.

[0044] The feeder 220 is connected to the end of the guide rod 211. The feeder 220 is equipped with a discharge port that matches the size of the bottle stopper and an electric control gate, which are used to control the bottle stoppers to be released in a single row according to the production rhythm and to prevent jamming.

[0045] The oscillating cone 400 can be cone-shaped with a multi-step structure on the surface. The oscillating cone 400 is arranged coaxially with the main shaft 120. The steps of the oscillating cone 400 are used to divert and limit the flow of the eye drop bottle stopper before it enters the material tray 300 trough 310, so that the bottle stopper is gradually inverted and stably enters the inner side of each material tray 310.

[0046] The material basin 100 and the material sorting tray 300 are arranged at an angle. The surface of the material basin 100 is provided with a discharge port located at the lowest end of the material basin 100. The discharge port is connected to the material guiding component 200 so that the inverted bottle stoppers can be smoothly fed into the material guiding component 200 for flipping and directional output by utilizing the combined action of gravity and vibration.

[0047] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows:

[0048] In the bottle stopper feeding operation, the present invention uses a motor 110 to drive the main shaft 120 to rotate. The reduction gear set 130 on the surface of the main shaft 120 meshes with the inner side of the feeding tray 300, causing the feeding tray 300 to rotate coaxially inside the material basin 100. At the same time, an eccentric vibrator 121 fixedly sleeved on the surface of the main shaft 120 is located inside the oscillating cone 400. During the rotation, the eccentric vibrator 121 drives the oscillating cone 400 to generate high-frequency oscillating vibration.

[0049] The oscillating cone core 400 has a multi-step conical structure. During vibration, it diverts, limits, and initially guides the eye drop bottle stoppers entering the material basin 100, causing them to gradually invert and approach the surface of the material tray 300. The surface of the material tray 300 is provided with circumferentially distributed material grooves 310, the shape of which matches the conical opening structure of the eye drop bottle stopper surface, ensuring that the stoppers accurately enter the material grooves 310 and are arranged in an inverted state under the action of oscillation and sliding.

[0050] Under the directional constraint of the feed trough 310, the bottle stopper is conveyed to the discharge port at the lowest end of the feed basin 100 in a predetermined posture and enters the feed guide assembly 200. The feed guide assembly 200 is supported by the fixed lug 210, and the sliding guide rod 211 extends in an arc shape, with its end connected to the discharge device 220. As the bottle stopper slides along the sliding guide rod 211, it flips over using the arc trajectory to ensure that the bottle stopper enters the subsequent process in the correct direction.

[0051] The feeder 220 is equipped with a discharge port that matches the size of the bottle stoppers and an electrically controlled gate, which can control the single-row release of bottle stoppers according to the production rhythm to avoid blockage. Throughout the process, the oblique arrangement of the material tray 100 and the sorting tray 300 utilizes gravity assistance to allow the bottle stoppers to slide smoothly into the guiding component 200. Under the synergistic effect of vibration, guidance, and flipping, the conveying process is completed from disordered stacking to directional arrangement and inverted output, thereby achieving efficient and stable feeding of bottle stoppers in the eye drop filling process.

[0052] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model.
