Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for conveyor lines, and in particular to a rejection mechanism for inverted bottles on a conveyor line. Background Technology
[0002] During the filling, sealing, and labeling processes of various oral liquid bottles, conveyor lines are often used for bottle transfer. During this transfer, factors such as conveyor speed adjustments can cause bottles to tip over. If tipped bottles are not removed promptly, it can cause conveyor line blockages and disrupt the normal production process of other bottles. Therefore, manufacturers need to remove tipped bottles. The traditional method involves installing sensors on the conveyor line to detect tipped bottles. When tipped bottles are detected, additional baffles are used to push the bottles into a collection box. Figure 1 As shown, such a setup often requires significant modifications to the production line and the addition of extra equipment, which is a rather cumbersome process. To address these issues, this application proposes a solution. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rejection mechanism for overturned bottles on a conveyor line, which can remove overturned bottles from the conveyor line while simplifying the modification of the conveyor line and improving the adaptability to various types of conveyor lines.
[0004] Technical solution: The present invention provides a bottle rejection mechanism for bottles falling over on a conveyor line, comprising a conveyor line, bottle-falling strips arranged on both axial sides of the conveyor line, a bottle-passing groove between the bottle-falling strips for the bottle body to pass through, a bending section on the bottle-falling strip for adjusting the direction of movement of the bottle body in the fallen state, and an opening on the bending section of the bottle-falling strip on either side, the opening being connected to a bottle-falling collection box arranged on the side of the conveyor line.
[0005] The direction of the inverted bottles is adjusted by setting the bending section, so that they fall into the bottle collection box through the opening of the bending section.
[0006] Preferably, the width of the bottle passage groove is greater than the width of the bottle through which it passes, but the greater width does not exceed 1 mm.
[0007] The width of the bottle passage is close to the width of the bottle, ensuring that the bottle, which is not tipped over, is stopped by the bottle passage as it moves along the conveyor line, and will not easily tip over.
[0008] Preferably, the bottle-inverting strip is detachably installed on both sides of the conveyor line, and the height of the bottle-inverting strip is lower than the height of the bottle when it is not tilted, but higher than the height of the bottle when it is tilted.
[0009] The detachable inverting strip design allows for easy adjustment of the width of the invert groove by replacing different inverting strips, thus adapting to different bottle types.
[0010] The setting of the bottle-tipping bar being higher than the fallen bottle and lower than the undisturbed bottle allows operators to quickly identify where bottles are tipping over on the conveyor line. On the other hand, the bottle-tipping bar itself limits and prevents the undisturbed bottles from tipping over, and applies a force to adjust the direction of movement of the guided bottles, causing the fallen bottles to enter the bottle-tipping collection box through the opening.
[0011] Preferably, the height of the opening is higher than the height of the bottle when it is tilted over, and the length of the opening is more than twice the length of the bottle when it is tilted over.
[0012] The design of having an opening that is higher than the height of the bottle when it falls over and longer than twice the length of the bottle when it falls over ensures that the fallen bottle can be removed through the opening without clogging it.
[0013] Preferably, the inlet and outlet of the conveyor line are respectively provided with a bottle inlet wheel and a bottle outlet wheel, and the bottle inlet wheel and the bottle outlet wheel are evenly provided with multiple slots for accommodating bottles in their circumferential direction.
[0014] The bottle inlet and bottle outlet rollers ensure that adjacent bottles maintain a certain distance when entering and leaving the conveyor line, preventing them from getting too close and causing a fallen bottle to affect an adjacent bottle that has not fallen.
[0015] Preferably, the bottle inlet wheel and the bottle outlet wheel are connected to an auger, and the auger drives the bottle inlet wheel and the bottle outlet wheel to rotate.
[0016] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] This invention, through the design of the bending section, removes inverted bottles from the conveyor line through the opening, thus achieving the removal of inverted bottles from the conveyor line. At the same time, it can adapt to a variety of different bottle types by simply changing different inverting strips to adjust the size of the bottle passage. It requires minimal modification to the conveyor line and has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] See appendix Figures 1-3 The figure shows a bottle rejection mechanism for inverting bottles on a conveyor line, which includes a conveyor line 1, bottle inverting strips 2 on both sides of the axial direction of the conveyor line 1, and a bottle passage groove 3 between the bottle inverting strips 2 for the bottle body to pass through. When the bottle body 4 moves with the conveyor line 1, it moves forward through the bottle passage groove 3.
[0024] In this embodiment, the width of the bottle passage trough 3 is greater than the width of the bottle body 4 passing through, but the difference is not more than 1 mm. The width of the bottle passage trough 3 is close to the width of the bottle body 4, ensuring that the bottle body 4, which is not tilted, is limited by the bottle passage trough 3 when it moves with the conveyor line 1, and will not easily tilt.
[0025] In this embodiment, the bottle-inverting strip 2 is provided with a bending section 5 to adjust the movement direction of the bottle 4 in the inverted state. An opening 6 is provided on the bending section 5 on either side of the bottle-inverting strip 2. The opening 6 is connected to the bottle-inverting collection box 7 provided on the side of the conveyor line 1. The movement direction of the bottle 4 following the conveyor line 1 is adjusted by the setting of the bending section 5, and the bottle falls into the bottle-inverting collection box 7 from the opening 6 of the bending section 5.
[0026] In this embodiment, the bottle-inverting strip 2 is detachably installed on both sides of the conveyor line 1. The height of the bottle-inverting strip 2 is lower than the height of the bottle 4 when it is not tilted, but higher than the height of the bottle 4 when it is tilted. The detachable design of the bottle-inverting strip 2 makes it easy to adjust the width of the bottle groove 3 by replacing different bottle-inverting strips 2, thereby adapting to different bottles 4. The setting of the bottle-inverting strip 2 being higher than the tilted bottle 4 and lower than the untilted bottle 4 allows the operator to see in time where the bottle tilting occurs on the conveyor line 1. On the other hand, the bottle-inverting strip 2 itself limits and prevents the untilted bottle 4 from tilting, and applies a force to adjust the direction of movement of the guided bottle 4, so that the tilted bottle 4 enters the bottle-inverting collection box 7 through the opening 6.
[0027] In this embodiment, the height of the opening 6 is higher than the height of the bottle 4 after it falls over, and the length of the opening 6 is more than twice the length of the bottle 4 after it falls over. This setting can ensure that the fallen bottle 4 can be removed through the opening 6 without blocking the opening 6.
[0028] In this embodiment, the inlet and outlet of the conveyor line 1 are respectively provided with a bottle inlet wheel 8 and a bottle outlet wheel 9. Both the bottle inlet wheel 8 and the bottle outlet wheel 9 are evenly provided with multiple slots 10 for accommodating bottles 4 in the circumferential direction. When the bottle 4 enters the section of the conveyor line 1, it first enters the slot 10 of the bottle inlet wheel 8 and is transported to the conveyor line 1 along with the slot 10 of the bottle inlet wheel 8. When leaving the conveyor line 1, it first enters the slot 10 of the bottle outlet wheel 9 and is transported out of the conveyor line 1 along with the slot 10 of the bottle outlet wheel 9. The arrangement of the bottle inlet wheel 8 and the bottle outlet wheel 9 can keep adjacent bottles 4 at a certain distance when entering and leaving the conveyor line 1, so that they will not get too close and the fallen bottle 4 will affect the adjacent unfallen bottle 4.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bottle inlet dial 8 and the bottle outlet dial 9 are connected to the auger 11, and the auger 11 drives the bottle inlet dial 8 and the bottle outlet dial 9 to rotate.
[0030] During operation, the bottle 4 first enters the slot 10 of the bottle inlet wheel 8 and is transferred to the conveyor line 1. When the bottle tipps over on the conveyor line 1, it falls into the bottle passage 3 and continues to move along the conveyor line 1. When it reaches the bending section 5, the inverting strip 2 at the bending section 5 exerts a radial force on the bottle 4, which was originally moving from left to right, to adjust the direction of the bottle's movement. At this time, an opening 6 is provided on one side of the inverting strip 2 at the bending section 5. When the bottle-inverting strip 2 on one side applies force to the bottle body 4, the bottle body 4 turns towards the opening 6 on the bottle-inverting strip 2 on the other side and falls directly into the bottle-inverting collection box 7. Since the opening 6 of the unpoured bottle body 4 is only higher than the tilted bottle body 4, the bottle-inverting strips 2 on both sides of the bending section 5 can apply a balanced force to the unpoured bottle body 4, so that the unpoured bottle body 4 can follow the conveyor line 1 through the bending section 5, and then enter the slot 10 of the bottle-out dial 9, and leave the conveyor line 1 with the bottle-out dial 9.
