Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle unloading technology, and in particular to a bottle unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle unscramblers need to disperse and neatly arrange randomly arranged bottles on a conveyor belt to meet the requirements of highly automated production. This process involves arranging the bottles in a specific direction and order to facilitate subsequent processing steps. This device is used on bottle unscramblers for gourd-shaped bottles, mainly to automatically detect and adjust the bottle neck direction. Due to the small spacing between rows of bottles, collisions are likely to occur when adjusting the bottle neck direction.

[0003] Utility model CN218950327U discloses a multi-channel flipping bottle sorting device. The feeding mechanism is used to feed medicine bottles into an arranging mechanism. The arranging mechanism has multiple arranging slots arranged side-by-side, and it drives the medicine bottles to arrange sequentially within each slot. The end of each arranging slot away from the feeding mechanism is connected to one end of a pushing mechanism. Each pushing mechanism has a corresponding pushing slot, and it pushes the medicine bottles from the arranging slots into those slots. Each pushing slot has a flipping mechanism at its end away from the arranging slot. A dropping mechanism is located below each flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism flips the medicine bottles fed from the pushing slots, stacking them with their mouths facing upwards within the dropping mechanism. The lower end of the dropping mechanism is open for the bottles to fall. However, the aforementioned flipping mechanism can only flip bottles with their mouths facing down to face up, and cannot flip bottles with their mouths facing up to face down, limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a bottle-sorting device that can adjust bottles with incorrect bottle opening orientations, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bottle feeding device, including a bottle feeding device, a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a bottle suction component, a rotating device, and a pusher device;

[0006] The bottle feeding device is provided with multiple bottle feeding channels, and each bottle feeding channel corresponds to a bottle suction component.

[0007] The first mounting plate is parallel to the second mounting plate, and a plurality of the bottle suction components are respectively disposed on the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, with the bottle suction components on the first mounting plate and the bottle suction components on the second mounting plate being spaced apart.

[0008] The rotating device is used to drive the bottle suction component to rotate, and the rotating device corresponds one-to-one with the bottle suction component. The pushing plate device is used to drive the first mounting plate away from or towards the second mounting plate.

[0009] Bottles enter the inlet of the inlet channel initially at an upright position. As the inlet channel widens, the bottles gradually lie flat. The suction device then begins to operate, picking up all bottles in the inlet channel. A rotating device then rotates the suction device holding bottles with incorrectly oriented openings by 180°. Simultaneously, a pusher device widens the distance between the first and second mounting plates. After the rotating device completes its operation, the pusher device retracts the distance between the first and second mounting plates.

[0010] In this invention, a rotating device drives the bottle suction components to rotate. Multiple bottle suction components and the rotating device are respectively mounted on a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, with the bottle suction components on the first and second mounting plates spaced apart. A pusher device drives the first mounting plate to move away from or towards the second mounting plate. The pusher device separates the first and second mounting plates, causing a row of bottles to be staggered during rotation. This achieves the goal of rotating the bottles in a staggered manner, solving the problem of collisions between adjacent bottles during rotation due to insufficient distance between the two rows of bottles. It also stabilizes and adjusts incorrect bottle opening directions, improving production efficiency.

[0011] This utility model has multiple bottle inlet channels, bottle suction components, and rotating devices. By expanding the number of bottle inlet channel rows and increasing the number of bottle suction components and rotating devices, the number of bottles sucked up each time can be increased, thereby improving production speed and efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, each of the bottle inlet channels is equipped with a detector for detecting the orientation of the bottle.

[0013] The detector is electrically connected to the rotating device. Based on the detector's detection result, the rotating device drives the suction device holding the bottle with the wrong bottle opening orientation to rotate 180°, automatically and stably adjusting the wrong bottle opening orientation.

[0014] Optionally, both the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are mounted on the support plate, the first mounting plate is slidably connected to the support plate, and the push plate device is used to drive the first mounting plate to slide on the support plate.

[0015] Two support plates are arranged in parallel. The two ends of the first mounting plate are slidably connected to the two support plates respectively.

[0016] Optionally, the support plate is slidably connected to the first mounting plate via a slide rail assembly, the slide rail assembly including a slide rail disposed on the support plate and a slider slidably disposed on the slide rail, the first mounting plate being connected to the slider.

[0017] The slide rail is fixed to the bottom surface of the support plate. The first mounting plate is connected to the support plate via a slider, and the second mounting plate is directly fixed to the support plate. The pusher device pushes the first mounting plate to slide on the slide rail.

[0018] Optionally, the support plate consists of two pieces, which are connected by a connector. One end of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are each connected to one of the support plates, and the other end of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are each connected to the other support plate.

[0019] The two parallel support plates are connected by connectors, and there are two connectors. Each support plate is connected to two connectors at both ends.

[0020] Optionally, the push plate device is mounted on the second mounting plate, the movable rod of the push plate device is connected to the first mounting plate, and the movable rod of the push plate device is connected to the first mounting plate through a pull plate.

[0021] The second mounting plate is provided with a push plate mounting plate, and the push plate device is fixed on the push plate mounting plate. The first mounting plate is provided with a pull plate, and the push plate device is a cylinder, whose movable rod is connected to the first mounting plate through the pull plate.

[0022] Optionally, the rotating device is connected to the bottle suction component via a gear assembly.

[0023] The gear assembly includes a main gear mounted on the rotating device and a driven gear mounted on the bottle suction component. The main gear and the driven gear are meshed together. The rotating device drives the main gear to rotate, which in turn drives the bottle suction component to rotate, thereby rotating the bottle with the wrong bottle opening orientation by 180°.

[0024] Beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This utility model includes a bottle inlet device, a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a bottle suction component, a rotating device, and a pushing plate device. Bottles enter the bottle inlet of the bottle inlet channel in a side-standing position. As the bottle inlet channel widens, the bottles gradually change from side-standing to lying flat. The bottle suction component begins to operate, sucking up all bottles in the bottle inlet channel. The rotating device begins to operate, rotating the bottle suction component holding bottles with incorrect bottle opening orientations by 180°. Simultaneously with the rotating device's operation, the pushing plate device widens the distance between the first and second mounting plates. After the rotating device completes its operation, the pushing plate device retracts the distance between the first and second mounting plates.

[0026] In this invention, a rotating device drives the bottle suction components to rotate. Multiple bottle suction components and the rotating device are respectively mounted on a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, with the bottle suction components on the first and second mounting plates spaced apart. A pusher device drives the first mounting plate to move away from or towards the second mounting plate. The pusher device separates the first and second mounting plates, causing a row of bottles to be staggered during rotation. This achieves the goal of rotating the bottles in a staggered manner, solving the problem of collisions between adjacent bottles during rotation due to insufficient distance between the two rows of bottles. It also stabilizes and adjusts incorrect bottle opening directions, improving production efficiency.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0038] See Figure 1-3 A bottle feeding device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a bottle feeding device 1, a first mounting plate 3, a second mounting plate 4, a bottle suction component 5, a rotating device 6, and a pusher device 7.

[0039] The bottle feeding device 1 is provided with multiple bottle feeding channels 11, and each bottle feeding channel 11 corresponds to a bottle suction component 5.

[0040] The first mounting plate 3 is parallel to the second mounting plate 4, and a plurality of the bottle suction components 5 are respectively disposed on the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4, with the bottle suction components 5 on the first mounting plate 3 and the bottle suction components 5 on the second mounting plate 4 being spaced apart.

[0041] The rotating device 6 is used to drive the bottle suction component 5 to rotate, and the rotating device 6 corresponds one-to-one with the bottle suction component 5. The pushing plate device 7 is used to drive the first mounting plate 3 to move away from or towards the second mounting plate 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bottle is a gourd-shaped bottle, which enters from the inlet 111 of the inlet channel 11 in a sideways position. As the inlet channel 11 widens, the gourd-shaped bottle gradually changes from sideways to lying flat. The suction device 5 starts to operate, sucking up all the bottles 8 on the inlet channel 11. The rotating device 6 starts to operate, rotating the suction device 5, which is sucking up bottles with incorrect bottle opening orientation, by 180°. At the same time as the rotating device 6 operates, the pusher device 7 widens the distance between the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4. After the rotating device 6 completes its operation, the pusher device 7 closes the distance between the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4.

[0043] In this invention, the rotating device 6 drives the bottle suction components 5 to rotate. Multiple bottle suction components 5 and the rotating device 6 are respectively mounted on the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4, with the bottle suction components 5 on the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4 spaced apart. The pushing plate device 7 drives the first mounting plate 3 to move away from or towards the second mounting plate 4. The pushing plate device 7 separates the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 4, causing a row of bottles 8 to be staggered during rotation. This achieves the purpose of rotating the bottles 8 in a staggered manner, solving the problem of collisions between adjacent bottles 8 during rotation due to insufficient distance between the two rows of bottles 8. It also stabilizes and adjusts incorrect bottle opening directions, improving production efficiency.

[0044] This utility model is equipped with multiple bottle inlet channels 11, bottle suction components 5, and rotating devices 6. By expanding the number of bottle inlet channels 11 and increasing the number of bottle suction components 5 and rotating devices 6, the number of bottles 8 sucked up each time can be increased, thereby improving production speed and efficiency.

[0045] This invention has wide applicability and can be modularized. Since the bottle suction component 5 and the rotating device 6 are suitable for all types of bottles that can be sucked up, whenever the type of bottle is changed, only the bottle inlet channel 11 and the detector need to be replaced accordingly.

[0046] See Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, each of the bottle inlet channels 11 is provided with a detector for detecting the orientation of the bottle.

[0047] The detector is electrically connected to the rotating device 6. Based on the detection result of the detector, the rotating device 6 drives the suction component 5, which is holding a bottle with the wrong bottle opening direction, to rotate 180°, automatically and stably adjusting the wrong bottle opening direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the detector can be a photoelectric sensor, and each bottle inlet channel 11 has three detection points 12. The three detection points 12 are detected from bottom to top from the bottom of the bottle inlet channel 11. If the light from all three points is blocked by the gourd-shaped bottle, it indicates that the bottle opening is positioned correctly (e.g., ...). Figure 3(The three gourd-shaped bottles on the right in the image). Conversely, if there is a ray of light of one point or more that is not blocked by a gourd-shaped bottle, it indicates that the bottle opening is placed incorrectly (e.g., ...). Figure 3 The three gourd-shaped bottles on the left (as shown in the image) can effectively and accurately detect whether the bottle opening is facing the correct direction. See also...

The main gear and the driven gear are meshed and connected. The rotating device 6 drives the main gear to rotate, and drives the bottle suction component 5 to rotate through the driven gear, thereby rotating the bottle with the wrong bottle opening orientation by 180°.

[0059] 1. The gourd-shaped bottle enters the inlet 111 of the inlet channel 11 with its side upright posture. After entering the detection point 12, the gourd-shaped bottle changes from being side upright to lying flat due to the widening of the channel.
