When entering an area formed by the fixed column, the adjusting column, the movable column and the guide belt, the glass bottle firstly passes through the adjusting area. The angle of the glass bottle is preliminarily adjusted by adjusting the positions of the adjusting column and the moving column relative to the fixed column and changing the angle of the adjusting area, so that the glass bottle enters the guide area, the width of the guide area is slightly larger than the diameter of the glass, and the glass bottle is in a vertical state under the action of the guide area; bottle bodies of the glass bottles in the vertical state are parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying belt.

The method can be widely applied to the technical field of glass bottle production.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle production technology, and more specifically, to a guiding mechanism for continuous feeding of glass bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In the initial stage of glass bottle loading, the bottles are placed randomly on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt rotates, the bottles move forward. At this point, guide plates, fixed above the conveyor belt and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the conveyor belt's central axis, begin to function. Because the guide plates are inclined inward along the direction of the conveyor belt's movement, the angle of the glass bottle gradually changes after contacting the guide plates. After the guide plates adjust the angle, the glass bottle enters a vertical path. The width of this path is slightly larger than the diameter of the glass bottle, thus allowing the bottle to continue its transport in a vertical position.

[0003] However, it should be noted that because the position and angle of the guide plate are relatively fixed, the width of the vertical path is also relatively fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust for glass bottles of different diameters. This setup can only handle guiding glass bottles of a fixed diameter and cannot adapt to guiding glass bottles of different diameters. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes a guiding mechanism for continuous feeding of glass bottles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A guiding mechanism for continuous glass bottle feeding includes a conveyor belt. A fixed column, an adjusting column, and a movable column are sequentially arranged above the conveyor belt. Two of each type of column are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt's central axis. A guide belt is fixed between the fixed and movable columns. The adjusting column is positioned outside the guide belt and abuts against it. The guide belt forms an adjustment zone between the fixed and adjusting columns, and a guide zone between the adjusting and movable columns. The adjustment angle of the adjustment zone and the width of the guide zone can be adjusted by controlling the positions of the adjusting and movable columns relative to the fixed column.

[0007] During the glass bottle feeding process, the irregularly placed glass bottles on the conveyor belt move forward with the conveyor belt. When the glass bottle enters the area consisting of fixed columns, adjusting columns, moving columns, and guide belts, it first passes through the adjusting zone. By adjusting the positions of the adjusting columns and moving columns relative to the fixed columns, the angle of the adjusting zone is changed, and the angle of the glass bottle is initially adjusted so that the glass bottle enters the guide zone. The width of the guide zone is slightly larger than the diameter of the glass, and the glass bottle's position in the guide zone becomes vertical. In this vertical position, the bottle body is parallel to the conveyor belt's conveying direction. This setup can adapt to the feeding and guiding needs of glass bottles of different diameters by adjusting the positions of the adjusting columns and moving columns, overcoming the limitation of traditional guiding mechanisms that can only handle glass bottles of fixed diameters.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes mounting plates disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt, with support columns fixed on the side walls of the fixed columns, and the other end of the support columns fixed to the mounting plates.

[0009] The fixed column is connected to the mounting plate through the support column, which ensures the stability of the fixed column position and provides a solid foundation for the fixation and function of the guide belt.

[0010] Preferably, a first electric telescopic rod is fixed to the side wall of the adjusting column, and the first electric telescopic rod is fixed to the side wall of the mounting plate.

[0011] Precise control of the position of the adjusting column can be achieved by using a first electrically operated telescopic rod installed between the side wall of the adjusting column and the side wall of the mounting plate. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the adjusting area, the first electrically operated telescopic rod extends or retracts, causing the adjusting column to move, thereby changing the positional relationship of the guide belt between the fixed column and the adjusting column, and thus realizing the change of the angle of the adjusting area.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate has a movable block that can move back and forth, a second electric telescopic rod is fixed on the side wall of the movable block, and a movable column is fixed at the end of the second electric telescopic rod. The second electric telescopic rod can move left and right to control the position of the movable column.

[0013] Before guiding the glass bottle, the position of the adjusting column is determined based on the bottle's width. Since the guide belt is non-stretchable, adjusting the moving column solely with the second electric telescopic rod cannot effectively adjust the guide width. Therefore, the slider is first moved to initially change the position of the moving column, and then the second electric telescopic rod is adjusted to precisely align the moving column with the adjusting column, thus ensuring that the guide belt forms a guide zone that conforms to the glass bottle's width between the fixed column, adjusting column, and moving column.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting plate is equipped with an electric track, within which the moving block can move back and forth.

[0015] The motorized track on the mounting plate provides a controlled path of movement. When the system issues a command, the drive unit within the motorized track generates power, pushing or pulling the moving block back and forth along the track. The precise coordination between the moving block and the motorized track allows for accurate control of the moving block's direction and distance of movement.

[0016] Preferably, a buffer pad is fixed on the side wall of the guide belt near the central axis of the conveyor belt.

[0017] As the glass bottle moves and adjusts its position on the guide belt, it comes into contact with the side wall of the guide belt near the central axis of the conveyor belt. A buffer pad fixed to this side wall acts as a cushion and absorbs shock. When the glass bottle collides with or is squeezed against the side wall, the buffer pad absorbs the impact force through its elastic deformation, reducing the hard impact on the glass bottle.

[0018] Preferably, the surface of the conveyor belt is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the glass bottle and the conveyor belt.

[0019] When the conveyor belt is running, the anti-slip texture on its surface comes into direct contact with the bottom of the glass bottle. These textures increase the roughness of the contact between the conveyor belt and the glass bottle, thereby increasing friction. Under the action of friction, the glass bottle can move forward more stably with the conveyor belt, reducing the possibility of the glass bottle slipping. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a guide mechanism for continuous glass bottle feeding mainly consists of a conveyor belt 110, fixed columns 120, adjusting columns 130, moving columns 140, guide belt 150, and mounting plate 160. Mounting plates 160 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 110. Fixed columns 120, adjusting columns 130, and moving columns 140 are sequentially arranged above the conveyor belt 110 along the conveying direction, with two of each type symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central axis of the conveyor belt 110. Fixed columns 120 are fixed to the mounting plate 160 via support columns 1201. The sidewall of the adjusting column 130 is connected to the mounting plate 160 via a first electric telescopic rod 1301. An electric track 1601 is provided on the mounting plate 160, within which a movable block 1401 can move back and forth. A second electric telescopic rod 1402 is fixed to the sidewall of the movable block 1401, and its end is connected to the moving column 140.

[0028] A guide belt 150 is fixed between the fixed column 120 and the movable column 140. An adjusting column 130 is located outside the guide belt 150 and abuts against it. The guide belt 150 forms an adjusting zone between the fixed column 120 and the adjusting column 130, and a guiding zone between the adjusting column 130 and the movable column 140. A buffer pad is fixed on the side wall of the guide belt 150 near the central axis of the conveyor belt 110, and the surface of the conveyor belt 110 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0029] The guiding mechanism in this embodiment operates on the following principle:

[0030] First, adjust the positions of the adjusting column 130 and the moving column 140 according to the diameter of the glass bottle, so that the width of the guide zone is slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle bottom, so that the glass bottle becomes vertical after passing through the guide zone. Here, verticality means that the bottom or mouth of the glass bottle is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 110. The specific adjustment process is as follows: First, move the moving block 1401 to the position closest to the adjusting column 130. According to the diameter of the glass bottle, first determine the position of the moving column 140. Then, adjust the position of the moving column 140 through the second telescopic rod to make the two outer edges of the guide zone parallel. Then, move the moving block 1401 away from the adjusting column 130 to flatten the guide belt 150 between the moving column 140 and the adjusting column 130.

[0031] After adjustment, the irregularly placed glass bottles are placed on conveyor belt 110. Conveyor belt 110 starts, moving the glass bottles forward. When the glass bottles enter the area comprised of fixed column 120, adjusting column 130, moving column 140, and guide belt 150, they first pass through the adjusting area, where the angle of the glass bottles is initially adjusted to facilitate entry into the guide area, where they become vertical. Throughout the process, the buffer pads on the sidewalls of guide belt 150 provide cushioning, and the anti-slip texture on the surface of conveyor belt 110 increases friction, ensuring stable transport of the glass bottles.

[0032] The position of the adjusting column 130 and the moving column 140 can be adjusted to adapt to the feeding and guiding needs of glass bottles of different diameters, overcoming the limitations of traditional guiding mechanisms. The precise setting of the adjustment zone and guiding zone allows the glass bottles to reach a vertical position more accurately and stably and maintain the conveying direction, reducing positional deviations and confusion.

[0033] The inclusion of cushioning pads reduces collision damage to the glass bottles during the guiding process, ensuring their quality. The anti-slip texture increases friction between the glass bottles and the conveyor belt 110, reducing slippage and improving conveying stability and efficiency.

[0034] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this embodiment. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of this embodiment shall fall within the scope of the patent of this embodiment.
