Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated packaging equipment technology, specifically to a bottled product transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, more and more high-end daily chemical products have adopted colorful bottle packaging, which greatly enhances the packaging grade of the products and makes them more popular.

[0003] During the production process of bottled products, a series of operations such as cleaning, filling, weighing, capping, and unloading need to be completed. Under the action of the bottle mold, the bottled products can be transported on the conveyor line and flow to various workstations for automated operation.

[0004] During the transfer process, due to space limitations, many workstations are not on the same production line, or the transfer between workstations cannot be completed in one go. This requires dedicated personnel to transfer the bottles. Traditionally, robotic arms can be used for transfer, but they have difficulty gripping the bottle mold structure containing the bottle during the transfer process. Alternatively, dedicated operators can be assigned to transfer the bottle mold and bottle to another workstation. This method wastes labor costs and cannot achieve fully automated production.

[0005] To address this issue, a transfer device was designed to first transfer the bottle mold from one workstation to a transfer platform, and then connect the transfer platform to another workstation for further transfer. However, during the transfer process, the bottle mold has no fixed position on the transfer platform, which can easily lead to it tilting and falling. If the bottle mold tilts and falls, it will affect the automated operation of the next workstation, and consequently, the entire production line's workflow. Utility Model Content

[0006] Purpose of the utility model: In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present utility model provides a bottled product transfer device, which transfers the bottle body and bottle mold to a transfer platform, sets limiting structures on both sides of the transfer platform to limit the bottle mold, and transfers the bottle mold from one station to another by a push plate.

[0007] Technical Solution: This utility model provides a bottled product transfer device, including a transfer platform disposed on one side of a first workstation and whose height is not higher than the first workstation. A push plate is disposed above one side of the transfer platform, and a first driving component is disposed on the push plate. A limiting plate is vertically disposed on the side of the transfer platform away from the first workstation. A flexible limiting component is rotatably connected to the side of the transfer platform close to the first workstation. An elastic component is also connected between the lower end of the flexible limiting component and the transfer platform. The height of the flexible limiting component is higher than the surface of the transfer platform, and its side close to the first workstation is an outer arc surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible limiting member is rotatably connected to the lower end face of the transfer platform via a rotating shaft, and when the outer arc surface of the flexible limiting member is subjected to extrusion force and rotates relative to the rotating shaft, the lower end of the flexible limiting member extrudes the elastic member.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring or rubber.

[0010] Furthermore, the length of the flexible limiting member matches the length of the transfer platform, and a pair of elastic members are provided on the transfer platform, with the pair of elastic members connected to both ends of the flexible limiting member.

[0011] Furthermore, the first driving component includes a drive motor, a pulley assembly, and a first slider. The drive motor drives the first slider to slide through the pulley assembly. The push plate is disposed on the first slider. The sliding direction of the push plate is consistent with the extension direction of the transfer platform, and the push plate is directly facing the bottle mold on the transfer platform.

[0012] Furthermore, the first driving member also includes a first slide rail disposed along the extension direction of the transfer platform, and the slider slides on the first slide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, the transfer platform is also mounted on the second driving component, which drives the transfer platform away from the first workstation and closer to the push plate and the first driving component.

[0014] Furthermore, the second driving component includes a pair of second slide rails, with the two ends of the transfer platform slidably mounted on the pair of second slide rails via second sliders; it also includes a telescopic cylinder, the actuating end of which is connected to the transfer platform via a bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, a second workstation is provided at the end of the transfer platform. The transfer platform and the second workstation are connected by a transition platform. The first driving component drives the push plate to push the bottle mold on the transfer platform to the second workstation.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] 1. The transfer device designed in this utility model can transfer the bottle mold and bottle body from the first station to the second station. For this purpose, a transfer platform is designed. After the operation is completed at the first station, the bottle mold and bottle body at the first station can be transferred to the transfer platform under the action of external pushing force. The bottle mold and bottle body at the first station are transferred to the transfer platform. The transfer platform is equipped with a limiting plate and a flexible limiting component to limit the two sides of the transfer platform. During the transfer of the bottle mold, the bottle mold will not fall off or tilt from the transfer platform, which facilitates the push plate to push the bottle mold structure as a whole.

[0018] 2. The purpose of the flexible limiting component designed in this utility model is to both limit the movement of the bottle mold on the transfer platform facing the first workstation and ensure that the bottle mold can be transferred to the transfer platform. To this end, the flexible limiting component is designed such that during the transfer of the bottle mold from the first workstation to the transfer platform, the bottle mold exerts a squeezing force on the flexible limiting component, causing the flexible limiting component to rotate on the pivot. During this rotation, the lower end of the flexible limiting component squeezes the elastic component, causing the flexible limiting component to rotate at a certain angle. After rotating a certain angle, the height of the flexible limiting component is aligned with the transfer platform, allowing the bottle mold to be smoothly transferred to the transfer platform. After the transfer is completed, there is no squeezing force from the bottle mold on the flexible limiting component. Under the action of the elastic component, the flexible limiting component rebounds back to its original position, its height slightly higher than the transfer platform, thus limiting the movement of the bottle mold within the transfer platform.

[0019] 3. This utility model is equipped with a pair of elastic elements, which are set on both sides of the transfer platform to play a balancing role when the bottle mold squeezes the flexible limiting element.

[0020] 4. The first driving component of this utility model can drive the push plate to move the bottle mold on the entire transfer platform to the second station. The purpose of designing the first slide rail is to make the push plate stable and maintain a horizontal pushing force.

[0021] 5. The second driving component of this utility model can move the transfer platform away from the first station after the bottle mold is transferred to the transfer platform, and then push the bottle mold to the second station through the second driving component. This can be adapted to situations where the two stations are far apart, making it more practical. Moreover, if the transfer platform is too close to the first station, the operation of the first station may be affected when the pusher plate pushes the bottle mold on the transfer platform to transfer.

The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See Figure 1 This utility model discloses a bottled product transfer device, including a transfer platform 2 disposed on one side of a first workstation 1 and whose height is not higher than the first workstation 1. A push plate 3 is disposed above one side of the transfer platform 2, and a first driving component is disposed on the push plate 3. A limit plate 4 is vertically disposed on the side of the transfer platform 2 away from the first workstation 1. A flexible limiting component 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the transfer platform 2 close to the first workstation 1. An elastic component 6 is also connected between the lower end of the flexible limiting component 5 and the transfer platform 2. The height of the flexible limiting component 5 is higher than the surface of the transfer platform 2, and its side close to the first workstation 1 is an outer arc surface. The flexible limiting component 5 is rotatably connected to the lower end surface of the transfer platform 2 through a rotating shaft 7. When the outer arc surface of the flexible limiting component 5 is subjected to pressure and rotates relative to the rotating shaft 7, the lower end of the flexible limiting component 5 presses against the elastic component 6. The elastic component 6 is a spring or rubber. The length of the flexible limiting component 5 matches the length of the transfer platform 2, and a pair of elastic components 6 are disposed on the transfer platform 2. The pair of elastic components 6 are connected to both ends of the flexible limiting component 5.

[0027] The first driving component includes a drive motor 8, a pulley assembly 9, and a first slider 10. The drive motor 8 drives the first slider 10 to slide via the pulley assembly 9. A push plate 3 is disposed on the first slider 10, and the sliding direction of the push plate 3 is consistent with the extension direction of the transfer platform 2, with the push plate 3 facing the bottle mold on the transfer platform 2. The first driving component also includes a first slide rail 11 disposed along the extension direction of the transfer platform 2, and the first slider 10 slides on the first slide rail 11.

[0028] The transfer platform 2 is also mounted on the second drive unit, which drives the transfer platform 2 away from the first workstation 1 and closer to the push plate 3 and the first drive unit. The second drive unit includes a pair of second slide rails 12, and the two ends of the transfer platform 2 are slidably mounted on the pair of second slide rails 12 via second sliders 13; it also includes a telescopic cylinder 14, the actuating end of which is connected to the transfer platform 2 via a bracket.

[0029] The transfer platform 2 is also provided with a second station 15 at its end. The transfer platform 2 and the second station 15 are connected by a transition table 16. The first driving component drives the push plate 3 to push the bottle mold on the transfer platform 2 to the second station 15.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] The bottle mold on the first station 1 is pushed onto the transfer platform 2 by external force (such as a cylinder pusher). The flexible limiting member 5 on the transfer platform 2 moves towards the transfer platform 2 after being squeezed. After the transfer is completed, the flexible limiting member 5 returns to its original position. The telescopic cylinder 14 is activated, which drives the transfer platform 2 to slide on the second slide rail 12. After sliding into place, the drive motor 8 is activated, which drives the pusher plate 3 to push the bottle mold on the entire transfer platform 2 through the transition table 16 and transfer it to the second station 15, thus completing the transfer of the entire bottle mold.

[0032] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
