Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage bottle sorting technology, specifically to an automatic adjusting and feeding mechanism for beverage bottles. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing attention to health drinks, the market for kudzu root beverages is gradually expanding. Some kudzu root beverages can be packaged in beverage bottles similar to mineral water. During mass production, the beverage bottles are piled up haphazardly inside the equipment and need to be arranged in an orderly manner before being sent to the production line for filling. After filling, the bottle caps are added. Currently, in order to achieve automated production, some manufacturers purchase beverage bottle automatic feeding devices with complex structures and high costs, which increases the investment costs of enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic adjusting and feeding mechanism for beverage bottles.

[0004] The specific solution of this utility model is as follows: An automatic adjusting feeding mechanism for beverage bottles includes a material cylinder with a diameter greater than the length of the beverage bottle. A guide cone is provided at the lower end of the material cylinder with a diameter less than the length of the beverage bottle. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the guide cone. A feed pipe is provided on the side wall of the material cylinder and communicates with the inside of the material cylinder. A bottle hooking mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the material cylinder directly above the feed pipe. The bottle hooking mechanism includes a hook claw, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the material cylinder. A hook is provided at the bottom end of the hook claw and is used to extend into the bottle mouth to hook the beverage bottle.

[0005] Furthermore, the bottle hook mechanism also includes a reset spring, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the barrel, and the other end is connected to the middle of the hook claw.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottle hook mechanism also includes a limiting block, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the barrel and is used to limit the position of the hook claw.

[0007] Furthermore, the feed pipe is arranged perpendicular to the feed cylinder.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it realizes the automatic adjustment of beverage bottles so that the bottle mouth faces upward when they are put into the production line, with a clever structure that greatly reduces the input cost.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic adjusting feeding mechanism for beverage bottles, characterized in that: it includes a feeding cylinder 1, the diameter of which is greater than the length of the beverage bottle; a guide cone 7 is provided at the lower end of the feeding cylinder 1, the diameter of which is less than the length of the beverage bottle; a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the guide cone 7; a feeding pipe 6 is provided on the side wall of the feeding cylinder 1, which is connected to the inside of the feeding cylinder 1; a bottle hooking mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 1 directly above the feeding pipe 6; the bottle hooking mechanism includes a hook 2, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the feeding cylinder 1; and a hook 3 is provided at the bottom end of the hook 2, which is used to extend into the bottle mouth to hook the beverage bottle.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottle hook mechanism also includes a reset spring 5, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the material cylinder 1, and the other end is connected to the middle of the hook 2; the reset spring 5 causes the hook 2 to quickly return to its original position after being pushed open.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottle hooking mechanism also includes a limiting block 4, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the material cylinder 1. The limiting block 4 is used to limit the initial position of the hook 2, so that the bottle mouth can automatically align with the hook 3, ensuring that the hook 3 smoothly enters the bottle mouth and hooks the beverage bottle.

[0020] Furthermore, the feed pipe 6 is arranged perpendicular to the feed cylinder 1.

[0021] In operation, beverage bottles are continuously fed into the feed pipe 6 via a pre-processing step. Bottles at the rear push the bottles at the front into the feed cylinder 1. The beverage bottles inside the feed pipe 6 are in two states: one with the bottle opening facing the hook 2 (see [reference]). Figure 2-5The bottle neck first enters the feed cylinder 1. The hook 3 of the claw 2 automatically extends from the bottle neck into the bottle. As subsequent bottles continue to push forward, the bottles hooked by the hook 3 are rotated upwards at a certain angle due to the action of the claw 2. When the bottom of the bottle detaches from the feed pipe 6, it naturally slides downwards with the bottle neck facing upwards, finally falling onto the conveyor belt of the production line through the discharge port. Another configuration is where the bottle neck faces the inlet of the feed pipe 6; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 , 7 Because this type of bottle has no opening at the bottom, the hook 2 will push it open, and the bottom of the bottle will naturally slide down, eventually falling onto the production line through the discharge port. This utility model has a simple and ingenious structure, which greatly reduces the investment cost compared to complex automated equipment.
