Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle unscrambler technology, and in particular to an automated high-speed bottle unscrambler. Background Technology

[0002] A bottle unscrambler is a device used to organize randomly stacked beverage bottles. It can disperse the messy bottles and arrange them neatly and regularly on a conveyor belt to meet the requirements of highly automated production.

[0003] Existing bottle unscramblers typically operate by rotating a disc with grooves along its circumference, which moves bottles that fall onto the disc. Under centrifugal force, the bottles fall into the grooves, and a constraint frame on the outside of the disc helps to neatly transport the bottles. However, it takes time for the bottles to fall into the grooves, especially when a large number of bottles need to be sorted simultaneously, which affects the efficiency of the unscrambler operation. Therefore, an automated high-speed bottle unscrambler is proposed as an improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose an automated high-speed bottle unscrambler to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides an automated high-speed bottle unscrambler, including a frame, a feeding hopper at the top of the frame, a first material tray with an annular structure fixedly connected inside the frame, a second material tray fixedly connected to the frame below the first material tray, a first discharge channel at one end of the first material tray, and a second discharge channel at one end of the second material tray that is inclined.

[0007] A drive motor is provided on the bottom surface of the second material tray. A turntable is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and rotatably connected to the first material tray. A material groove is provided around the turntable. Several material dropping holes are provided on the turntable. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the turntable. The material dropping holes are provided through the guide plate. A bottle tilting assembly is provided on one side of the first material tray.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the feed hopper is located at the middle position on the top of the frame, and the first and second feed trays are both fixedly connected to the support legs of the frame by crossbars.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the bottom surface of the second material tray is inclined and the distance between the bottom surface of the second discharge channel and the material tray is greater than the height of the bottle.

[0010] The above technical solution employs the following: the frame provides an installation platform for the upper structure and offers stable support. A feed hopper is installed at the top of the frame to allow bottles to enter the processing device. Positioning the feed hopper in the middle of the frame facilitates bottles falling from the center into the first tray, resulting in a more even distribution of bottles and improved processing speed. The first and second trays provide space for bottle flow and processing. By angled the bottom of the second tray and controlling its height relative to the guide tray, bottles can flow more smoothly from the second discharge channel under the influence of gravity and the guide tray.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the bottom plate of the second material tray is provided with a plurality of rolling balls, which are evenly arranged circumferentially below the material drop hole.

[0012] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the material trough has a U-shaped structure and the top of the material discharge hole has an inverted conical structure.

[0013] The above technical solution involves installing ball bearings on the bottom plate of the second material tray. These ball bearings assist in the movement of the bottles, allowing them to move more smoothly within the second material tray under the guidance of the guide plate. The ball bearings are positioned below the discharge hole, directly corresponding to the bottles falling through it, resulting in superior performance. A drive motor rotates the turntable, which in turn moves the bottles onto it, guiding them into the material trough. Constrained by the side walls of the trough and the first material tray, the bottles follow the turntable and flow into the first discharge channel. The discharge hole allows bottles to pass through the turntable and fall into the second material tray. The top of the discharge hole features an inverted conical structure, facilitating smooth entry of the bottles.

[0014] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, a protrusion with an arc-shaped top surface is provided at the middle position of the top surface of the turntable, and a baffle is provided on the inner side of the first material tray at the first discharge channel.

[0015] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the bottle-flipping assembly includes a protruding strip on the bottom edge of the first material tray, an outwardly protruding edge on the side of the first material tray, and an arc-shaped lifting wall formed on the side wall of the first material tray.

[0016] The above technical solution involves the following steps: Some bottles pass through the discharge hole into the second material tray and continue to move within it under the influence of the guide tray. When the bottles reach the second discharge channel, they enter the second discharge channel under centrifugal force. The bottles flow out of the first and second discharge channels in an orderly manner, resulting in faster sorting. A protrusion in the center of the turntable guides the bottles, allowing them to move more quickly around the turntable under gravity. A baffle is installed at the first discharge channel to prevent the bottles from following the turntable and entering the first channel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. This automated high-speed bottle unscrambler, through its structure including a first and second feeding tray, a first and second discharge channel, a drop hole, and a guide plate, operates as follows: Bottles are placed in the feeding hopper and fall onto a turntable. The drive motor is activated, causing the turntable to rotate. Bottles gradually move into the feeding trough or drop hole. Constrained by the side walls of the feeding trough and the first feeding tray, the bottles follow the turntable and flow into the first discharge channel. Bottles entering the drop hole pass through the hole into the second feeding tray and continue moving within it under the influence of the guide plate. When the bottles reach the second discharge channel, they enter under centrifugal force. The bottles flow out of both the first and second discharge channels in an orderly manner, making the unscrambling process more efficient.

[0019] 2. This automated high-speed bottle unscrambler, by setting the bottom of the second material tray at an angle and controlling its height relative to the guide tray, allows bottles to flow more smoothly from the second discharge channel under the influence of gravity and the guide tray. Ball bearings are installed on the bottom plate of the second material tray to assist in bottle movement, enabling smoother movement within the tray under the guidance of the guide tray. The top of the discharge hole adopts an inverted conical structure, facilitating smooth bottle entry. A protrusion in the center of the turntable guides the bottles, allowing them to move more quickly to the surrounding areas under gravity.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model includes a frame 1, a feeding hopper 2 is provided on the upper part of the frame 1, a first material tray 3 with an annular structure is fixedly connected inside the frame 1, a second material tray 4 fixedly connected to the frame 1 is provided below the first material tray 3, a first discharge channel 5 is provided at one end of the first material tray 3, and a second discharge channel 12 is provided at one end of the second material tray 4 at an incline.

[0031] The bottom surface of the second material tray 4 is provided with a drive motor 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to a turntable 7 rotatably connected inside the first material tray 3. A material trough 8 is opened around the turntable 7. Several material dropping holes 9 are opened on the turntable 7. A guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the turntable 7. The material dropping holes 9 are set through the guide plate 10. A bottle tilting assembly 11 is provided on one side of the first material tray 3.

[0032] Example 1: The feed hopper 2 is located at the middle of the top of the frame 1. The first tray 3 and the second tray 4 are both fixedly connected to the support legs of the frame 1 by crossbars. The bottom surface of the second tray 4 is inclined, and only at the second discharge channel 12 is the distance between its bottom surface and the tray 10 greater than the height of the bottle. The frame 1 provides an installation platform for the upper structure and provides stable support for it. The feed hopper 2 is set at the top of the frame 1 to allow the bottles to be sorted to enter the device. Setting the feed hopper 2 in the middle of the frame 1 facilitates the bottles falling from the center into the first tray 3, thereby making the bottles more evenly distributed in the first tray 3, which is beneficial to improving the sorting speed. The first tray 3 and the second tray 4 provide space for the flow and sorting of bottles. By setting the bottom surface of the second tray 4 at an angle and controlling its height from the guide tray 10, the bottles can flow more smoothly from the second discharge channel 12 under the influence of gravity and the drive of the guide tray 10.

[0033] Example 2: The bottom plate of the second material tray 4 is equipped with several rolling balls, which are evenly arranged circumferentially below the discharge hole 9. The material trough 8 adopts a U-shaped structure, and the top of the discharge hole 9 adopts an inverted conical structure. The rolling balls on the bottom plate of the second material tray 4 assist the bottles in moving, allowing them to move more smoothly within the second material tray 4 under the drive of the guide plate 10. The rolling balls are arranged below the discharge hole 9, directly corresponding to the bottles falling from the discharge hole 9, resulting in a better effect. The drive motor 6 drives the turntable 7 to rotate, which moves the bottles falling on it to the surroundings, causing them to fall into the material trough 8. Under the constraint of the side walls of the material trough 8 and the first material tray 3, the bottles follow the turntable 7 and flow into the first discharge channel 5 when they reach it. The discharge hole 9 allows the bottles to pass through the turntable 7 and fall into the second material tray 4. The top of the discharge hole 9 adopts an inverted conical structure, which facilitates the smooth entry of the bottles into the discharge hole 9.

[0034] Example 3: A protrusion with an arc-shaped top surface is provided at the middle position of the top surface of the turntable 7, and a baffle 13 is provided on the inner side of the first material tray 3 at the first discharge channel 5. The bottle-turning assembly 11 includes a protruding strip on the bottom edge of the first material tray 3, an outer protruding edge on the side of the first material tray 3, and an arc-shaped lifting wall on the side wall of the first material tray 3. Some bottles pass through the drop hole 9 into the second material tray 4 and continue to move in the second material tray 4 under the drive of the guide plate 10. When the bottle moves to the second discharge channel 12, it enters the second discharge channel 12 under the action of centrifugal force. The bottles flow out from the first discharge channel 5 and the second discharge channel 12 in an orderly manner, and the sorting speed is faster. The protrusion in the middle of the turntable 7 can guide the bottles, so that the bottles can move around faster under the action of gravity. The baffle 13 is provided at the first discharge channel 5 to block the bottles, so that the bottles no longer follow the turntable 7 and enter the first channel 5.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] S1. Place the bottle into the feed hopper 2. The bottle falls onto the turntable 7 through the feed hopper 2. Start the drive motor 6, which drives the turntable 7 to rotate.

[0037] S2. The bottle gradually moves into the material trough 8 or the discharge hole 9. Constrained by the side walls of the material trough 8 and the first material tray 3, the bottle moves with the turntable 7 and flows into the first discharge channel 5 when it reaches the first discharge channel 5.

[0038] S3. Bottles entering the discharge hole 9 pass through the discharge hole 9 and enter the second material tray 4, and continue to move within the second material tray 4 under the action of the guide tray 10. When the bottles move to the second discharge channel 12, they enter the second discharge channel 12 under the action of centrifugal force.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0040] 1. This automated high-speed bottle unscrambler, through the configuration of a first material tray 3, a second material tray 4, a first discharge channel 5, a second discharge channel 12, a drop hole 9, and a guide plate 10, etc., performs bottle unscrambling. Bottles are placed into the feed hopper 2 and fall onto the turntable 7. The drive motor 6 is started, causing the turntable 7 to rotate. The bottles gradually move into the material trough 8 or the drop hole 9. Constrained by the side walls of the material trough 8 and the first material tray 3, the bottles move with the turntable 7 and flow into the first discharge channel 5. Bottles entering the drop hole 9 pass through the drop hole 9 into the second material tray 4 and continue to move within the second material tray 4 under the influence of the guide plate 10. When the bottles reach the second discharge channel 12, they enter the second discharge channel 12 under the action of centrifugal force. The bottles flow out of the first discharge channel 5 and the second discharge channel 12 in an orderly manner, making the unscrambling process more efficient.

[0041] 2. This automated high-speed bottle unscrambler, by setting the bottom surface of the second material tray 4 at an angle and controlling its height relative to the guide tray 10, allows bottles to flow more smoothly from the second discharge channel 12 under the influence of gravity and the guide tray 10. Ball bearings are installed on the bottom plate of the second material tray 4 to assist the bottles in moving, allowing them to move more smoothly within the second material tray 4 under the influence of the guide tray 10. The top of the discharge hole 9 adopts an inverted conical structure, which facilitates the smooth entry of bottles into the discharge hole 9. A protrusion in the middle of the turntable 7 guides the bottles, allowing them to move more quickly to the surrounding area under the influence of gravity.
