Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cover conveying devices, specifically to a cover unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Bottles are common containers for liquid products. To ensure the safety of the contents and prevent spills during transportation and storage, as well as to improve the bottle's sealing performance, bottle caps are usually attached to the bottle. Bottle caps typically undergo multiple processing steps during production, requiring transfer between these steps. To facilitate the transfer of bottle caps during processing, conveyor lines are commonly used.

[0003] For example, patent document CN111099250A discloses a bottle cap conveying line, including a horizontal platform, a workbench, a horizontal drive mechanism, and a bottle cap conveying track. There is a gap between the horizontal platform and the workbench. The bottle cap conveying track is laid on both the horizontal platform and the workbench. The horizontal drive mechanism drives the bottle caps to move along the bottle cap conveying track from the horizontal platform to the workbench. Each bottle cap conveying track includes two conveying lines and multiple support frames. The support frames are fixed to the horizontal platform and the workbench. The conveying lines are arranged along the support frames and supported and fixed by them. The distance between the two conveying lines is less than the maximum diameter of the bottle caps. The outer layer of the conveying lines is wrapped with a soft material layer. This technical solution has advantages such as scratch-free bottle cap conveying, stable bottle cap conveying, good bottle cap levelness, and smooth bottle cap sliding.

[0004] While the aforementioned technical solution can stably and smoothly transport bottle caps, during the transport process, when the bottle caps reach their corresponding processing positions, they typically need to be unloaded from the conveyor line to facilitate further processing. After transporting the bottle caps to their processing positions, this method usually requires external devices (such as robotic arms) to remove them from the conveyor line, which is inconvenient for unloading. Furthermore, if the external device is incompatible with the conveyor line, bottle cap residue can easily remain on the conveyor line. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a cap feeding device to solve the technical problem of inconvenient cap feeding and unloading operations on the conveying line in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cover feeding device, comprising a conveying unit and a feeding unit, wherein the conveying unit includes a conveyor belt, and a plurality of support rods are provided on the conveyor belt, the plurality of support rods being evenly distributed on the conveyor belt along the feeding direction, the support rods being used to support the cover; the feeding unit includes a guide rail, the guide rail extending outward along the extension direction of the conveyor belt, the guide rail being located at the rear end of the feeding direction and inclined upward along the height direction, the guide rail being used to feed the cover.

[0007] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: When conveying the cover, the cover is placed on the support rod on the conveying unit. The conveyor belt in the conveying unit drives the cover to move through the support rod. When the cover moves to the unloading unit, the cover is detached from the support rod under the guidance of the guide rail in the unloading unit, thus realizing the unloading operation of the cover from the conveyor belt.

[0008] In this solution, guide rails are installed on the conveyor belt during the conveying of the lids. When the lids reach the designated position, they are guided to separate from the conveyor belt, improving the ease of lid unloading. Furthermore, the guide rails ensure that all lids on the conveyor belt contact the rails and are unloaded after reaching the designated position, improving unloading efficiency and guaranteeing that all lids conveyed on the conveyor belt are unloaded, preventing any lids from being missed during unloading.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the support rod is provided with a mounting seat. One end of the mounting seat is connected to the top of the support rod, and the other end extends upward along the height direction. The diameter of the mounting seat gradually decreases from the end near the support rod to the end away from the support rod. This allows the cover, or a cover with a fixture, to be securely mounted to the support rod via the mounting seat while ensuring sufficient flexibility between the cover and the mounting seat, allowing the cover to be easily removed from the mounting seat and improving the convenience of cover unloading.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the height of the mounting base is not less than 1 / 2 of the height of the support rod. This ensures that the mounting base has sufficient connection length when installing the cover and the mounting base, guaranteeing the stability of the connection between the mounting base and the cover and preventing the cover from falling off during transportation.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, the guide rail includes two rails, which are distributed facing each other on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the distance between the two rails is smaller than the diameter of the cover. By setting two rails on both sides of the conveyor belt, the cover, after entering between the two rails, can connect with the rails along the feeding direction. At the same time, the lifting part on the rail lifts the height of the cover, thereby peeling the cover off the support rod. This achieves automatic unloading of the cover by the power of the cover's movement during the conveying process, improving the convenience and efficiency of the cover unloading operation.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the guide rail includes a horizontal section and a lifting section, which are sequentially distributed along the feeding direction. The adjacent ends of the horizontal and lifting sections are interconnected. The extending direction of the horizontal section is parallel to the extending direction of the conveyor belt, while the extending direction of the lifting section is inclined to the extending direction of the conveyor belt. By providing a horizontal section before the lifting section, the cover after being unloaded by the support rod on the lifting section can move towards the top of the lifting section under the push of the cover that has not yet been unloaded on the horizontal section, thus achieving automatic output of the unloaded cover in the lifting section.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the inclination angle between the lifting section and the conveyor belt is less than 40°. This ensures that the cover can be smoothly unloaded under the lifting action of the lifting section, while avoiding an excessively large inclination angle of the lifting section, which would prevent the cover from moving smoothly forward under gravity after being unloaded from the support rod, causing the cover to spill off the lifting section and increasing the workload of cleaning the cover.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, a collection groove is provided between the lifting part and the support rod, the collection groove being used to collect the cover on the lifting part. By providing a collection groove below the lifting part, the cover on the lifting part can fall into the collection groove under the action of gravity for centralized collection, avoiding the cover from scattering everywhere after unloading and increasing the workload of sorting the cover after unloading. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cover feeding device in an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0016] Figure 2 This is a top view of the cover feeding device in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0018] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: conveying unit 1, frame 101, conveyor belt 102, support rod 103, mounting base 104, unloading unit 2, guide rail 201, horizontal part 202, lifting part 203, and collection trough 204.

[0019] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2 As shown, a cover unloading device includes a conveying unit 1 for conveying the cover, and a unloading unit 2 for unloading the cover from the conveying unit 1.

[0020] The conveying unit 1 includes a frame 101, on which a conveyor belt 102 is mounted. The conveyor belt 102 extends outward along the feeding direction and can move along its own extension direction to convey the cover. Multiple support rods 103 are mounted on the conveyor belt 102, evenly distributed along the feeding direction. One end of each support rod 103 is connected to the conveyor belt 102, and the other end extends upward along the height direction. The central axis of the support rod 103 is perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 102. In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 102 is a metal chain conveyor line. The specific structure of the conveyor belt 102 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The support rods 103 are fixedly connected to the top unit of the conveyor belt 102 by snaps or bolts, and the support rods 103 can move along the feeding direction as the conveyor belt 102 moves. This allows the covers to be mounted on the support rod 103 during transport, enabling multiple covers to be arranged on the conveyor belt 102, thus ensuring the orderly transport of the covers.

[0021] A mounting base 104 is provided on the support rod 103. One end of the mounting base 104 is integrally formed and fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 103, and the other end extends upward along the height direction. The diameter of the mounting base 104 gradually decreases from the end near the support rod 103 to the end away from the support rod 103, that is, the mounting base 104 is in the shape of a frustum. Furthermore, the height of the mounting base 104 is not less than 1 / 2 of the height of the support rod 103. This ensures that when installing the cover, the cover, or a cover with a fixture, can be securely installed on the support rod 103 via the mounting base 104, while maintaining sufficient flexibility between the cover and the mounting base 104, allowing the cover to be easily removed from the mounting base 104, thus improving the convenience of cover unloading.

[0022] The feeding unit 2 includes two guide rails 201, which are parallel to each other on both sides of the conveyor belt 102. The extension direction of the guide rails 201 is consistent with the extension direction of the conveyor belt 102. Both guide rails 201 are fixedly connected to the frame 101 via brackets. Each guide rail 201 includes a horizontal section 202 and a lifting section 203, which are sequentially distributed along the feeding direction. The adjacent ends of the horizontal section 202 and the lifting section 203 are interconnected. The horizontal section 202 is located on one side of the support rod 103. The extension direction of the horizontal section 202 is parallel to the extension direction of the conveyor belt 102, and the horizontal section 202 is lower than the height of the support rod 103, i.e., the horizontal section 202 is located on one side of the middle of the support rod 103. The lifting section 203 is inclined upward from the end closer to the horizontal section 202 to the end farther away from the horizontal section 202, i.e., the extension direction of the lifting section 203 is inclined at an angle to the extension direction of the conveyor belt 102. By setting two tracks on both sides of the conveyor belt 102, the conveyed cover can connect with the guide rails 201 along the feeding direction after entering between the two guide rails 201. At the same time, the lifting part 203 on the guide rail 201 lifts the cover, thereby peeling the cover off the support rod 103. The automatic unloading of the cover is completed by the power of the cover's movement during the conveying process, improving the convenience and efficiency of the cover unloading operation. Furthermore, by setting a horizontal part 202 before the lifting part 203, the cover that has been unloaded and loaded on the support rod 103 on the lifting part 203 can move towards the top of the lifting part 203 under the push of the cover that has not yet been unloaded on the horizontal part 202, realizing the automatic output of the unloaded cover in the lifting part 203.

[0023] The inclination angle between the lifting unit 203 and the conveyor belt 102 is less than 40°. This ensures that the cover can be smoothly unloaded under the lifting action of the lifting unit 203, while avoiding an excessively large inclination angle of the lifting unit 203. Otherwise, the cover, after being unloaded and loaded with the support rod 103, will not be able to move forward smoothly under the action of gravity, causing the cover to spill off the lifting unit 203 and increasing the workload of cleaning the cover.

[0024] The distance between the two guide rails 201 is smaller than the diameter of the conveyed cover. This allows the cover to be supported by the clamping action of the two guide rails 201 after entering the space between them, enabling the cover to move orderly under the support of the guide rails 201 after being unloaded from the support rod 103, thus improving the orderliness of the cover unloading.

[0025] A collection trough 204 is provided between the lifting section 203 and the support rod 103. One end of the collection trough 204 is located below the lifting section 203, and the other end extends outward in a direction away from the lifting section 203. The collection trough 204 slopes downward from the end near the lifting section 203 towards the end away from the lifting section 203. The collection trough 204 is used to collect the covers on the lifting section 203. By providing the collection trough 204 below the lifting section 203, the covers on the lifting section 203 can fall into the collection trough 204 under the action of gravity for centralized collection, avoiding the covers from scattering everywhere after unloading and increasing the workload of cleaning up the covers after unloading.

[0026] The distance between the two guide rails 201 gradually increases from the bottom to the top of the lifting section 203, and the distance between the two guide rails 201 at the top end of the lifting section 203 is greater than the diameter of the conveyed cover. This causes the cover to automatically fall from the top area of ​​the lifting section 203 under the action of gravity, reducing the travel distance of the cover on the lifting section 203 and improving the unloading efficiency of the cover.

[0027] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0028] When conveying the cover, the cover is placed on the support rod 103 on the conveying unit 1. The conveyor belt 102 in the conveying unit 1 drives the cover to move through the support rod 103. When the cover moves to the unloading unit 2, the cover is detached from the support rod 103 under the guidance of the guide rail 201 in the unloading unit 2, realizing the unloading operation of the cover from the conveyor belt 102.

[0029] Compared to existing technologies, this solution utilizes guide rails 201 on the conveyor belt 102 during lid transport. This allows the lids to separate from the conveyor belt 102 under the guidance of the guide rails 201 when they reach the designated position, improving the ease of lid unloading. Furthermore, the guide rails 201 ensure that all lids on the conveyor belt 102 contact and are unloaded after reaching the designated position, improving unloading efficiency and guaranteeing that all lids transported on the conveyor belt 102 are unloaded, preventing any lids from being missed during unloading.

[0030] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
