DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] The bottle conveying and shunting device provided by the embodiments of the present application can solve the problem that the bottle is easily squeezed and damaged when shunted by a telescopic air cylinder or a mechanical claw, and the shunting timing cannot be accurately controlled, resulting in bottle accumulation, and the flow of the first conveying line and the second conveying line cannot be adjusted.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-3 A bottle conveying and shunting device, comprising:

[0037] The first conveying line 1 is provided with a first conveying belt 100, and a first stop bar 101 and a second stop bar 102 located on both sides of the first conveying belt 100 in the width direction; the length of the second stop bar 102 is less than the length of the first stop bar 101; the first conveying line 1 further comprises a third stop bar 103 located on the same side of the second stop bar 102 and downstream of the second stop bar 102; the distance between the third stop bar 103 and the first stop bar 101 is equal to the diameter of the bottle; the distance between the first stop bar 101 and the second stop bar 102 is equal to twice the diameter of the bottle; Figure 3 The mark b in the figure is a bracket.

[0038] The second conveying line 2 is arranged between the third stop bar 103 and the second stop bar 102, and communicates with the conveying channel of the first conveying belt 100; the fourth stop bar 201 is arranged on both sides of the second conveying belt 200 in the width direction;

[0039] A plurality of first circular arc flow guides 3 are selectively connected with the fourth stop rod 201 close to the third stop rod 103, and the cantilever end thereof faces the inlet of the first conveying line 1; the bending radius of each first circular arc flow guide 3 is different.

[0040] The above widens the original single-lane conveying belt into a double-lane channel to meet the feeding demand. Without changing the original equipment power system, the double-machine synchronous feeding is realized through the conveying belt widening to improve the overall efficiency of the production line. The first circular arc flow guide 3 realizes the flow guide of the bottles into the auxiliary lane formed between the third stop rod 103 and the first stop rod 101 when the bottles are stacked in the second conveying line 2, avoiding extrusion damage. In addition, the first circular arc flow guide 3 with different bending radii is selected to adjust the flow ratio of the bottles conveyed by the first conveying line 1 and the second conveying line 2.

[0041] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figures 5-7 The working principle is as follows: the bottles output by the bottle unscrambler fall into the double-lane conveying belt, i.e., the first conveying line 1, through the outlet. Under normal conditions, the second conveying line 2 preferentially receives the bottles, and the bottles enter the piece counting machine along the main lane. When the bottles are stacked in the second conveying line 2, the bottles are guided by the first circular arc flow guide 3 into the auxiliary lane formed between the third stop rod 103 and the first stop rod 101. Without an additional power system, the flow ratio of the bottles conveyed by the first conveying line 1 and the second conveying line 2 is adjusted by replacing the first circular arc flow guide 3 with different bending radii. The physical flow guide of the first circular arc flow guide 3 replaces the hard blockage of the cylinder to avoid direct extrusion of the bottles, improve the product yield, and solve the damage problem of the original solution.

[0042] The relationship between all the stop rods and the conveying belt can be referred to the drawings Figure 3 and Figure 8 The two side edges of the conveying belt have metal structures for mounting the conveying belt.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, since the adjustment is made by replacing the first circular arc flow guide 3 with different bending radii, there are still some inconvenient situations, so the following settings are also made:

[0044] The bottle conveying and shunting device further comprises a bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 extending into the inlet of the first conveying line 1.

[0045] The bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 is connected with a moving assembly 7; the moving assembly 7 is used to move the bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 in the width direction of the first conveying belt 100.

[0046] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 The moving assembly 7 comprises a connecting base 700 and a telescopic rod 701; the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 701 is fixedly connected with the side surface of the connecting base 700; the top surface of the connecting base 700 is connected with the bottom surface of the bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6.

[0047] The telescopic rod 701 is one of a pneumatic telescopic rod, an electric telescopic rod and a hydraulic telescopic rod.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 5 The moving assembly 7 can adjust the position correspondence relationship of the bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 with the first conveying line 1 and the second conveying line 2 by moving left and right, so as to realize flow adjustment. That is, the bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 can be made to deviate to the first conveying line 1 and the second conveying line 2, so as to realize dynamic balance of the flow, for example, when the bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 is centered relative to the central axis of the first conveying belt 100, the flow is theoretically evenly divided, and when it deviates to the left, the flow of the second conveying line 2 increases. Thus, an adjustable outlet layout is realized: the bottle unscrambler outlet position is adjusted by mechanical sliding, manual adjustment of the flow ratio is realized, different production rhythm requirements are adapted, and manual replacement of the first circular arc flow guide plate 3 is reduced. Of course, the bottle unscrambler outlet guide chute 6 can also move with the entire bottle unscrambler.

[0049] In some preferred embodiments, due to the auxiliary channel formed between the third stop rod 103 and the first stop rod 101, and the third stop rod 103 located on the same side of the second stop rod 102 and downstream of the second stop rod 102, the bottle will not enter the auxiliary channel, so that the first conveying line 1 falls off. Therefore, the following settings are made:

[0050] A guide piece 4 is arranged between the end of the first circular arc flow guide plate 3 facing the inlet of the first conveying line 1 and the third stop rod 103. The guide piece 4 blocks to ensure that the bottle enters the auxiliary channel when it is blocked.

[0051] Further, to reduce the friction of the bottle entering the second conveying line 2, a fourth stop rod 201 is arranged between the second stop rod 102 and the third stop rod 103, and a second circular arc flow guide plate 5 is arranged between the fourth stop rod 201 and the second stop rod 102; the first circular arc flow guide plate 3 and the second circular arc flow guide plate 5 are concentrically arranged. The first circular arc flow guide plate 3 and the second circular arc flow guide plate 5 are both made of metal material, and the outer surfaces thereof are polished surfaces.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, a bridge plate 8 is arranged between the second conveying belt 200 and the first conveying belt 100. One side of the bridge plate 8 facing the first conveying belt 100 extends to the area between the central axis of the first conveying belt 100 and the side of the first conveying belt 100 close to the second conveying belt 200. The bridge plate 8 is used for protection because there is a gap between the first conveying line 1 and the second conveying line 2 due to the vertical arrangement of the two, and the bottle may be inclined. When the bottle is in the gap, the movement of the first conveying line 1 and the second conveying line 2 will damage the bottle. In addition, in order to reduce the residence time of the bottle on the bridge plate 8, the following settings are made:

[0053] A plurality of rollers are arranged on the bridge plate 8; or,

[0054] The bridge plate 8 is provided with a plurality of balls. The above rollers or balls can accelerate the passing time, and a smaller pushing force can pass through the non-powered area.

[0055] The bridge plate 8 is provided with a plurality of rollers, and at least two rollers are connected with driving motors. In the scheme of adding driving motors, the active conveying function is realized on the non-powered area, avoiding the blockage caused by non-powered extrusion, and further reducing the occurrence of blockage without relying on the extrusion of the rear bottles.

[0056] In summary, the damage of the bottles caused by hard blocking is avoided, and the product yield is improved. The production demand can be quickly adapted through mechanical adjustment, and the manual intervention is reduced. The double-lane design supports two piece machines to work in parallel, and the production capacity is significantly improved compared with the original single-lane scheme.
