Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing technology, specifically to an automatic bottle rejection device for processing. Background Technology

[0002] The conveyor line is mainly responsible for transporting materials. This forms a closed-loop conveyor system within the warehouse, production workshop, and packaging workshop, which can smoothly reach various production positions. In the bottle production process, the conveyor line is often used to transport bottles. During the transport process, the bottles pass through the inverting device to remove the inverted bottles and keep the normally upright bottles.

[0003] An existing utility model patent with application number CN201921346399.3 discloses an automatic bottle rejection device, including a conveyor belt, a first guardrail disposed on one side of the conveyor belt, and a second guardrail disposed on the other side of the conveyor belt. The first guardrail and the second guardrail are disposed opposite to each other. The first guardrail has a first arc transition surface protruding from its side facing the conveyor belt, and the second guardrail has a second arc transition surface recessed from its side facing the conveyor belt. A bend is formed between the first guardrail and the second guardrail. The narrowest point of the bend on the conveyor belt allows only a single bottle to pass through. A gap is provided between the conveyor belt and the second guardrail to allow the overturned bottle to fall. This utility model's technical solution can automatically reject overturned bottles, solving the safety problem caused by bottle jamming. It also has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and improves production efficiency.

[0004] The automatic bottle rejection devices described above cannot adjust the width of the baffle to reserve a channel for bottles on the conveyor belt. They can only reject bottles of fixed sizes, which limits the processing flow and cannot meet the bottle rejection process for bottles of various sizes during conveying. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic bottle rejection device for the processing flow, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the automatic bottle rejection device of the prior art cannot adjust the width of the baffle to reserve the channel for bottles on the conveyor belt, can only reject bottles of fixed specifications, and the processing flow is limited, which cannot meet the problem of rejecting bottles of various specifications during the conveying process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic bottle-removing device for processing flow, comprising a conveyor belt, a first guardrail assembly, and a second guardrail plate. The first guardrail assembly and the second guardrail plate are respectively fixed to both sides of the conveyor belt support seat of the conveyor belt. A bottle-collecting box is provided below the second guardrail plate. The first guardrail assembly includes a positioning member and a first guardrail plate. The positioning member is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt support seat. The first guardrail plate is slidably connected to the positioning member in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the conveyor belt. A toggle assembly is provided on the side of the conveyor belt support seat corresponding to the direction of the first guardrail plate. Both the first guardrail plate and the second guardrail plate located above the conveyor belt have a protruding structure in the opposite direction.

[0007] Preferably, the first guardrail assembly further includes a connecting rod and a limiting member. The connecting rod passes through a slot on one side of the positioning member and connects to the first guardrail plate on the other side of the positioning member. The connecting rod is fixed relative to the positioning member by the limiting member.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting member includes a fixing member, a screw, an extrusion member, and a nut. The limiting member is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor belt support. One end of the screw, which passes through the slot of the fixing member, is connected to the nut, and the other end of the screw is connected to the extrusion member. When the limiting member fixes the connecting rod, the side of the extrusion member away from the screw is in contact with the periphery of the connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, the first guardrail assembly further includes a handle, and two sets of connecting rods are provided between the positioning member and the first guardrail plate, with the two sets of connecting rods connected by the handle at the end away from the first guardrail plate.

[0010] Preferably, one set of connecting rods has a scale line on the surface of one end that is close to the other set of connecting rods, and the other set of connecting rods has limiters on both the upper and lower ends.

[0011] Preferably, the first guardrail on the side of the conveyor belt that contacts the bottle has two surfaces: one inclined relative to the direction of conveyor belt operation and the other parallel to the direction of conveyor belt operation. Similarly, the second guardrail on the side of the conveyor belt that contacts the bottle has two surfaces: one inclined relative to the direction of conveyor belt operation and the other parallel to the direction of conveyor belt operation.

[0012] Preferably, the actuating assembly includes a fixed base, a lever, and a torsion spring. The fixed base is fixed to the side of the conveyor belt support, the lever is hinged to the fixed base, one end of the torsion spring abuts against the lever, and the other end abuts against the fixed base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention, through the setting of the first guardrail, adjusts the position of the first guardrail according to the diameter of the conveyed bottle. The width of the area outside the first guardrail on the conveyor belt for the bottle to pass through matches the bottle diameter, which can accurately control the width of the bottle of different sizes to pass through, thereby performing targeted bottle-turning and rejection operations. This increases the application range of the device. For bottles of different diameters, there is no need to set up a separate production line for automatic bottle-turning and rejection, as they can all be conveyed on the same conveyor belt, improving processing efficiency and saving costs.

[0015] The baffle in the comparative document is curved. During bottle conveying, the curvature of the baffle can cause some bottles to tilt in the narrowest part of the channel, making it difficult to separate them. However, in the device of this solution in the comparative document, the first guardrail has two sides. The tilted surface of the first guardrail makes the orientation of the tilted bottle close to the inclination of the tilted surface, so that the tilted bottle can be pushed beyond the edge of the conveyor belt and dropped by the lever. This improves the rejection rate of tilted bottles in the production line, makes it less likely for the bottle to get stuck, improves safety, and increases work efficiency.

[0022] 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.

[0023] One embodiment provided by this utility model: as follows Figure 1 As shown, an automatic bottle rejection device for processing includes a conveyor belt 1, a first guardrail assembly 2, a toggle assembly 3, a second guardrail plate 4, and a bottle collection box 5.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the first guardrail assembly 2 and the second guardrail plate 4 are respectively fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt support 11 of the conveyor belt 1. When the conveyor belt 1 runs, the bottles distributed on the conveyor belt 1 are transported in the opposite direction in sequence to facilitate the processing of the next stage. During the transport process, some bottles may tip over.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the first guardrail assembly 2 includes a positioning component 21, a connecting rod 22, a first guardrail plate 23, a handle 24, and a limiting component 25.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component 21 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt support 11. The first guardrail plate 23 is slidably connected to the positioning component 21 in the direction perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1. The connecting rod 22 passes through the slot on one side of the positioning component 21 and connects to the first guardrail plate 23 on the other side of the positioning component 21. Two sets of connecting rods 22 are provided between the positioning component 21 and the first guardrail plate 23. The two sets of connecting rods 22 are connected by a handle 24 at the end away from the first guardrail plate 23. One set of connecting rods 22 has a scale line 221 on the surface of the end closest to it, and the other set of connecting rods 22 has limiting components 25 at both the top and bottom. The connecting rods 22 are fixed relative to the positioning component 21 by the limiting components 25. The limiting member 25 includes a fixing member 251, a screw 252, an extrusion member 253, and a nut 254. The limiting member 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor belt support 11. One end of the screw 252 that passes through the slot of the fixing member 251 is connected to the nut 254, and the other end of the screw 252 is connected to the extrusion member 253. When the limiting member 25 fixes the connecting rod 22, the side of the extrusion member 253 away from the screw 252 is in contact with the periphery of the connecting rod 22.

[0027] Before removing bottles that have tipped over on conveyor belt 1, the operator holds and moves handle 24 to adjust the position of the first guardrail 23. The width L1 left outside the first guardrail 23 on conveyor belt 1 for the bottles to pass through is adjusted according to the diameter of the bottles being conveyed. During the movement of connecting rod 22, the connecting rod 22 with the scale line 221 is observed to assist in positioning the first guardrail 23, ensuring the accuracy of the reserved width and improving the precision of the bottle removal operation.

[0028] After the position of the first guardrail 23 is determined, the limiting member 25 fixes the corresponding connecting rod 22. With the upper and lower extrusion members 253 tightly attached to the surface of the connecting rod 22, the nut 254 is tightened, and the connecting rod 22 is limited. At this time, the position of the first guardrail 23 is also fixed, and it is not easy to be displaced by the bottle conveying process.

[0029] By fine-tuning the position of the first guardrail 23, the device can precisely control the width through which bottles of different sizes pass, thereby enabling targeted bottle-removal operations. This increases the device's application range. Bottles of different diameters do not require additional production lines for automatic bottle-removal; they can all be conveyed on the same conveyor belt 1, improving processing efficiency and saving costs.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first guardrail 23 and the second guardrail 4, located above the conveyor belt 1, are protruding structures facing opposite directions. The side of the first guardrail 23 on the conveyor belt 1 that contacts the bottle has two surfaces: one inclined relative to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1 and the other parallel to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1. Similarly, the side of the second guardrail 4 on the conveyor belt 1 that contacts the bottle has two surfaces: one inclined relative to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1 and the other parallel to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1.

[0031] When the bottle is conveyed on the conveyor belt 1 and passes the first guardrail 23, the bottle will first come into contact with the inclined side of the first guardrail 23 in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. Under the action of the inclined surface, the bottle will gradually move closer to the edge of the conveyor belt 1 away from the first guardrail 23. Bottles that are not overturned will pass through the inclined surface of the first guardrail 23 and reach the reserved area outside the parallel surface. If the bottle diameter is the same as the size L1, the bottles that are not overturned can pass smoothly. When the bottle that is not overturned is conveyed on the conveyor belt 1 and passes the second guardrail 4, it will first come into contact with the inclined side of the second guardrail 4. Under the action of the inclined surface, the conveying trajectory of the bottle will be changed to the middle position of the conveyor belt 1.

[0032] For a tilted bottle, since the bottle body is long, passing over the inclined surface of the first guardrail 23 will cause the tilted bottle to face an angle close to the inclination of the inclined surface, so the tilted bottle will exceed the edge of the conveyor belt 1.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an actuating assembly 3 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt support 11 in the direction corresponding to the first guardrail 23. The actuating assembly 3 is distributed in the area corresponding to the surface of the first guardrail 23 that is inclined relative to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1. The actuating assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31, a lever 32 and a torsion spring 33. The fixed base 31 is fixed to the side of the conveyor belt support 11. The lever 32 is hinged to the fixed base 31. One end of the torsion spring 33 abuts against the lever 32 and the other end abuts against the fixed base 31.

[0034] After passing the inclined surface of the first guardrail 23, the inverted bottle in the area parallel to the first guardrail 23, although inclined to the parallel surface of the first guardrail 23, does not extend much beyond the edge of the conveyor belt 1 and is not enough to fall and be rejected. When it passes the position of the actuating component 3 again, the lever 32, which was in a vertically upward state, is contacted by the inverted bottle, causing the lever 32 to rotate in the direction of bottle conveying. The forces are mutual, and the torsion spring 33 has resistance that can make one end of the inverted bottle rotate. The lever 32 can drive the inverted bottle to increase the inclination in the direction perpendicular to the first guardrail 23, and the part of the inverted bottle extending beyond the edge of the conveyor belt 1 increases. During this process, since the distance between the center of gravity of the bottle and the two ends of the bottle is greater than the reserved width L1, the center of gravity of the actuated bottle will fall into the inverted bottle collection box 5 set below the second guardrail 4 after extending beyond the edge of the conveyor belt 1, thereby realizing the automatic rejection of the inverted bottle.

[0035] The baffle in the comparative document is curved. During the bottle conveying process, the curvature of the baffle can cause some bottles to tilt in the narrowest part of the channel, making it difficult to separate them. However, in the device of this solution, the first guardrail 23 has two sides, which allows tilted bottles to be pushed beyond the edge of the conveyor belt 1 and fall off by the lever 32. This improves the rejection rate of tilted bottles in the production line, makes it less likely for them to get stuck, improves safety, and increases work efficiency.

[0036] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not described in detail here. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
