Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workshop conveying technology, and more specifically to a high-speed lane separating device. Background Technology

[0002] In the workshop production process, bottled containers are usually conveyed using a conveyor belt. During this conveyor belt, the bottles are sometimes in a disordered state, with their positions random. This causes processing difficulties for subsequent steps, requiring repositioning and adjustment of the bottles. Typically, a sorting mechanism is used to organize and arrange the disordered bottles in an orderly manner for subsequent packaging. Due to the large number of bottles, using the existing single-channel sorting mechanism would lead to a decrease in production efficiency.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220011193U, published on November 14, 2023, under IPC main classification (subclass): B65G, which discloses a bottle sorting device for orderly sorting. The device includes a chain conveyor for transporting bottles, a bottle-shaking mechanism on the chain conveyor for shaking disordered bottles, a buffer sorting mechanism behind the bottle-shaking mechanism for sorting the bottles, a material-checking mechanism behind the buffer sorting mechanism, a bottle-pressing mechanism behind the material-checking mechanism for pressing the top of the bottles, and a baffle moving mechanism behind the bottle-pressing mechanism. This invention uses a bottle-shaking mechanism to arrange disordered bottles. However, the shaking of the bottles during sorting can easily cause vibration or bottles to fall off, and it is unsuitable for sorting bottles of different sizes.

[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221543183U, published on August 16, 2024, discloses a channeling device suitable for high-speed conveying products. This high-speed conveying product channeling device includes: a product conveying channel, a channel partition plate, a channeling drive assembly, and a channeling guide assembly. The channel partition plate is located at the end of the product conveying channel and divides the product conveying channel into a first channeling channel and a second channeling channel. The channeling drive assembly is horizontally positioned on one side of the product conveying channel. The channeling guide assembly is located above the product conveying channel and forms a guide plane with one end outside the product conveying channel and the other end on the extension line of the channel partition plate, diagonally crossing the first channeling channel. This utility model provides a solution that can continuously channel products without stopping the production line and avoids issues such as bottle tipping or product deformation. However, when adapting to different product specifications and needing to adjust the guide stroke of the channeling guide assembly, the entire channeling guide assembly needs to be disassembled, making adjustment difficult and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Technical problem to be solved by the utility model

[0006] To address the technical problem of difficulty in adjusting the guide stroke during the sorting of bottled containers due to different product specifications in existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-speed sorting device. Through the coordinated operation of guide components, lead screw pairs, and lateral adjustment plates, the distance between the lateral adjustment plates and the conveyor chain is adjusted by the lead screw pairs. The device is quick and convenient to operate and can be used to transport products of different specifications.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A high-speed lane separating device includes a frame assembly, a fixed plate, a guide assembly, a drive assembly, a driven wheel, a lateral adjustment plate, a lead screw pair, and a linear guide rail. The fixed plate is connected to the surface of the frame assembly. The drive assembly and the driven wheel are synchronously rotated and connected to the fixed plate via a synchronous belt. The guide assembly is connected to the lane separating side of the synchronous belt. The end face of the guide assembly forms a guide angle α with the two parallel conveyor chains, biased towards the conveyor chains. When the synchronous belt drives the guide assembly to rotate to the side facing the conveyor chains, the guide assembly guides the product from conveyor chain one to conveyor chain two. The device separates the single-channel conveyed product into two channels to meet the needs of downstream equipment. During the lane separating process, the guide assembly moves from the non-lane separating position to the lane separating position to complete the product lane separation, which can prevent the product from vibrating or falling during the lane separating process and avoid product surface damage. The fixed plate is connected to the lateral adjustment plate, the linear guide rail is fixedly connected to the frame assembly, and the lateral adjustment plate is slidably connected to the linear guide rail via a lead screw pair to adjust the lane separating guide stroke and adapt to the conveying of products of different specifications.

[0010] The further high-speed lane separating device features a long waist-shaped synchronous belt with multiple guide components that are vertically and side-by-side connected to the lane separating side of the synchronous belt. The number of long waist-shaped rings and guide components can be matched according to the number of lanes, making it widely applicable.

[0011] The further high-speed lane separating device includes a guide block, a connecting plate, a fixed block, and a rotating shaft. The fixed block is fixedly connected to the side of the timing belt. The rotating shaft passes vertically through the pre-reserved rotating hole in the fixed block, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected in the rotating hole. One end of the connecting plate is close to the side of the timing belt, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide block. The outer side of the guide block is the product guiding surface. The guide block uses friction to guide the bottles in a lane separating manner, without shaking or moving the bottles, without vibration, and without product damage.

[0012] The further high-speed lane separating device also includes rollers and annular guide rails that match the shape of the timing belt. The annular guide rails are fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and the rollers are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate through axles. The rollers roll on the side rail surface of the annular guide rails to improve guiding accuracy.

[0013] The further high-speed lane separation device has rollers symmetrically distributed on both sides of the annular guide rail to improve the stability of the guide and prevent the guide block from shaking.

[0014] The further high-speed lane separation device also includes an angle adjustment mechanism to adjust the size of the guide angle α.

[0015] The high-speed lane separating device further includes an angle adjustment mechanism comprising a buckle, a fixed shaft, an adjustment hole, and an adjustment shaft. The adjustment hole is located on the fixed plate, and the fixed shaft passes through the adjustment hole and is fixedly connected to the transverse adjustment plate. After the guide angle α is adjusted, the fixed plate and the transverse adjustment plate are locked together by the buckle to prevent the fixed plate from returning to its original position due to thrust.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] (1) The high-speed lane separating device of this utility model divides the products conveyed in a single lane into two lanes to meet the needs of the downstream equipment. During the lane separating process, the guide block moves from the non-lane separating position to the lane separating position to complete the alternating lane separating of the products. This can avoid the products from vibrating or falling during the lane separating process and avoid damage to the product surface. At the same time, the guide stroke is adjusted by the screw pair and the guide angle is adjusted by the angle adjustment mechanism, so that the guide block angle of the lane separating machine can be adaptively adjusted for products of different specifications and shapes, and has a wide range of applications.

[0019] (2) The high-speed lane separating device of this utility model has a simple overall structure, is easy to install, can adapt to various bottle types, improves the automation level of the whole line, has high production efficiency, saves energy and reduces consumption; it can also protect the appearance of the product to the greatest extent, effectively prevent product damage, reduce waste, and is environmentally friendly.

[0029] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of the utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] The high-speed lane separating device in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, it includes a frame assembly 1, a fixed plate 3, a guide assembly 7, a drive assembly 8, and a driven wheel 9; the fixed plate 3 is connected to the surface of the frame assembly 1; the drive assembly 8 includes a motor and a synchronous pulley that is connected to the output end of the motor, and the synchronous pulley and the driven wheel 9 are connected to the fixed plate 3 for synchronous rotation via a synchronous belt 10.

[0032] The synchronous belt 10 has two sides in addition to the wheel surfaces at both ends: the lane-separated side and the non-lane-separated side.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide assembly 7 includes a guide block 70, a connecting plate 71, a fixing block 72, and a rotating shaft 73. The fixing block 72 is fixedly connected to the side of the timing belt 10. The rotating shaft 73 passes vertically through the rotating hole reserved in the fixing block 72, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 71. The rotating shaft 73 is rotatably connected in the rotating hole. One end of the connecting plate 71 is close to the outer side of the timing belt 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide block 70.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the end face of the guide block 70 forms a guide angle α with the two parallel conveyor chains, which is biased towards the conveyor chains. The outer side of the guide block 70 is the guide surface of the product 300. The guide block is preferably made of polished UHPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) material. The guide block 70 uses its rubber surface friction to guide the bottle to separate channels without shaking or moving the bottle. There is no vibration, and the product 300 is not damaged. This can prevent the product 300 from vibrating or falling during the separation process and avoid damage to the surface of the product 300.

[0035] In this embodiment, the high-speed lane separating device, in specific use, uses a motor to drive a synchronous pulley, a driven wheel 9, and a synchronous belt 10 to move the guide block 70 along the annular guide rail 11. The synchronous belt 10 drives the guide block 70 to rotate to the side of the lane separating device. When the guide block 70 faces the side of the conveyor chain, the guide block 70 guides the product 300 from the first conveyor chain 100 to the second conveyor chain 200, dividing the single-lane conveyed product 300 into two conveyed lanes to meet the needs of the downstream equipment. During the lane separating process, the guide block 70 moves from the non-lane separating position to the lane separating position to complete the lane separating of the product 300, which can realize the rapid lane separating of rows of products 300 within a few seconds.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The high-speed lane separating device in this embodiment has the same basic structure as in Embodiment 1, with the following differences or improvements: Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the synchronous belt 10 is an elongated ring shape. Multiple guide components 7 are vertically arranged side-by-side on the sides of the synchronous belt 10. The number of elongated rings and guide components 7 can be matched according to the number of tracks, making it widely applicable. The guide components 7 also include rollers 74 and annular guide rails 11 that match the shape of the synchronous belt 10. The annular guide rails 11 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 3, and the rollers 74 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 71 via axles. The rollers 74 roll along the side surface of the annular guide rails 11 to improve guiding accuracy. The rollers 74 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the annular guide rails 11. Figure 2 In the middle, each connecting plate 71 is matched with four symmetrical rollers 74 at the bottom to improve the stability of the guide and prevent the guide block 70 from shaking.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] The high-speed lane separating device in this embodiment has the same basic structure as in embodiment 2, but the difference or improvement is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, it also includes a horizontal adjustment plate 2, a lead screw pair 4, a linear guide rail 6, and an angle adjustment mechanism 5; the motor is preferably a servo motor, the fixing plate 3 is connected to the horizontal adjustment plate 2, the linear guide rail 6 is fixedly connected to the frame assembly 1, and the horizontal adjustment plate 2 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 6 through the lead screw pair 4 to adjust the distance between the horizontal adjustment plate 2 and the first conveyor chain 100 and the second conveyor chain 200, i.e., the guide stroke of the separate tracks. The lead screw pair 4 is a lead screw and a slider matching the lead screw of the prior art, and the slider is embedded and fixed to the bottom surface of the horizontal adjustment plate 2; a handle 41 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the lead screw. The surface of the linear guide rail 6 is covered with a bellows cover to prevent dust accumulation when the horizontal adjustment is not needed for a long time.

[0040] Angle adjustment mechanism 5 is used to adjust the size of the guide angle α, including a buckle 51, a fixed shaft 52, an adjustment hole 53, and an adjustment shaft 54. The adjustment hole 53 is opened in the fixed plate 3, and the fixed shaft 52 passes through the adjustment hole 53 and is fixedly connected to the transverse adjustment plate 2. The adjustment hole 53 is an arc-shaped hole, and its arc length is the angle adjustment stroke. The adjustment shaft 54 ​​passes through the fixed plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the transverse adjustment plate 2. After the guide angle α is adjusted, the fixed plate 3 and the transverse adjustment plate 2 are locked and fixed by the buckle 51 to prevent the fixed plate 3 from returning to its original position due to thrust. The buckle 51 is preferably an existing crank clip, which can be quickly locked and unlocked.

[0041] In this embodiment, the high-speed lane separating device, in practical use, uses a servo motor to drive the synchronous pulley, driven wheel 9, and synchronous belt 10 to move the guide block 70 along the annular guide rail 11, thereby achieving the lane separating function. The travel of the lead screw is adjusted via the handle 41, and in conjunction with the two linear guide rails 6 installed below the transverse adjustment plate 2, the lane separating guide travel and angle can be adjusted, thus adapting to various product specifications 300. The specific adjustment method is as follows:

[0042] First, adjust the quick handle 41 to ensure that the channel separator is adjustable. Then, adjust the lead screw stroke through the handle 41, and in conjunction with the linear guide rail 6 installed below the horizontal adjustment plate 2, complete the adjustment of the horizontal guide stroke of the channel separator.

[0043] After the buckle 51 is unlocked, the fixed plate 3 is pushed within the arc travel range of the adjustment hole 53, and rotates with the adjustment shaft 54 ​​as the center and the distance between the adjustment shaft 54 ​​and the adjustment hole 53 as the radius, adjusting the guide angle α on the surface of the horizontal adjustment plate 2; the corresponding angle is adjusted for products 300 of different specifications. After the guide angle α is adjusted, the fixed plate 3 and the horizontal adjustment plate 2 are then locked and fixed by the buckle 51.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, when the guide block 70 of the sorting machine is in a non-sorting position, the product 300 is continuously conveyed along the original conveyor chain 100. After a specified number of products 300 have been conveyed to the specified position on the conveyor chain 100, the guide block 70 waiting in the non-sorting position begins to move along the annular guide rail 11 to the sorting position under the drive of the servo motor, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, when the specified quantity of product 300 is transported to the designated position of the conveyor chain 200, the guide block 70 of the sorting position continues to move along the circular guide rail 11 to the non-sorting position under the drive of the servo motor. This alternating movement can realize the rapid sorting function of product 300.

[0045] The high-speed lane separating device in this embodiment has a simple overall structure and is easy to install. The guide stroke is adjusted by the lead screw pair 4 and the guide angle is adjusted by the angle adjustment mechanism 5. It can adapt to various bottle types and improve the automation level of the entire line, resulting in high production efficiency, energy saving and consumption reduction. It can also protect the appearance of product 300 to the greatest extent, effectively prevent product 300 damage, reduce waste, and be environmentally friendly.

[0046] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention. The actual structure and manufacturing steps are not limited to these. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
