Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle conveying technology, and in particular to a device for preventing bottle tipping. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, especially in the production, packaging, and transportation of glass bottles, the conveying of glass bottles is a crucial step. To improve production efficiency, conveyor belts are commonly used for automated glass bottle transport. However, glass bottles are inherently fragile and are prone to tipping over during transport, particularly at high speeds, when encountering vibrations, changes in conveyor belt speed, or turns. Once a glass bottle tipps over, it can cause anything from product leakage to complete breakage, resulting in product loss. Broken glass fragments can also damage conveying equipment, disrupt subsequent production processes, and increase production costs and safety risks.

[0003] Currently, most existing glass bottle conveying devices have simple structures, relying solely on the planar transport of conveyor belts and lacking effective anti-tipping measures, making it easy for glass bottles to tip over during transport. To address these issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a device to prevent bottle tipping.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a device for preventing bottle tipping, comprising a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, and a drive motor, wherein the conveyor belt is mounted on the conveyor frame, and the drive motor is used to drive the conveyor belt to move in order to convey glass bottles, and further comprising:

[0006] An anti-tipping adjustment mechanism is installed on a conveyor belt. The anti-tipping adjustment mechanism includes a mounting bracket, an adjusting ring, and multiple anti-tipping components. The mounting bracket is installed on the conveyor belt, and the adjusting ring is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. Each anti-tipping component includes a hinge rod, an anti-tipping side plate, and a guide mechanism. One end of the hinge rod is hinged to the adjusting ring, and the other end of the hinge rod is hinged to the anti-tipping side plate. The guide mechanism is located between the anti-tipping side plate and the mounting bracket and is used to guide the movement direction of the anti-tipping side plate.

[0007] Multiple anti-tipping side plates are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the adjusting ring, and the multiple anti-tipping side plates form a receiving space for accommodating glass bottles;

[0008] A tray, which is mounted on a mounting bracket and located below an adjusting ring, is used to support the bottom of the glass bottle.

[0009] Preferred options also include:

[0010] A rubber cushioning pad is disposed on the upper surface of the tray and located below the receiving space, for contacting the bottom of the glass bottle to cushion the glass bottle.

[0011] Preferably, the rubber cushioning pad is made of rubber material, and the elasticity of the rubber material is used to improve the cushioning performance of the rubber cushioning pad.

[0012] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes:

[0013] A sleeve is located below the adjusting ring, and the sleeve is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket;

[0014] A horizontal sliding rod is slidably disposed within a sleeve, and one end of the horizontal sliding rod is fixedly connected to the anti-tipping side plate to guide the movement direction of the anti-tipping side plate.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with a vertical sliding groove, and the bottom of the tray is provided with a slider that slides in cooperation with the vertical sliding groove, so that the tray can slide up and down in the vertical direction;

[0016] The anti-tipping adjustment mechanism also includes a spring, which is located below the tray, with its upper end abutting against the bottom of the tray and its lower end abutting against the mounting bracket, to provide a cushioning force for the tray.

[0017] Preferably, the anti-tipping adjustment mechanism further includes:

[0018] A fixing block is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket and located at the top of the adjusting ring;

[0019] The fixing block is provided with a threaded through hole, and the screw is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole. By tightening the screw, the end of the screw is pressed against the adjusting ring to fix the adjusting ring.

[0020] Preferably, there are multiple anti-tipping adjustment mechanisms, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0021] Preferably, the inner wall of the anti-tipping side plate is an arc-shaped surface, and the curvature of the arc-shaped surface matches the curvature of the outer wall of the glass bottle, so as to make the contact between the anti-tipping side plate and the glass bottle more stable.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This device innovatively incorporates an anti-tipping adjustment mechanism, utilizing multiple anti-tipping side plates to create an adjustable-size accommodating space. This space can be adjusted to precisely fit glass bottles of different diameters. During transport, the anti-tipping side plates form a stable barrier around the side walls of the glass bottles, effectively preventing them from tipping over due to vibration, speed changes, or turning. Compared to existing technologies that simply rely on conveyor belts for planar transport, this anti-tipping device significantly improves the stability of glass bottle transport, greatly reduces the risk of tipping, and thus minimizes breakage and product loss caused by bottle tipping.

[0024] In addition, this utility model innovatively sets a rubber buffer pad on the pallet. Utilizing the buffering properties of rubber material, it provides flexible support and buffer protection when the bottom of the glass bottle comes into contact with the pallet. It can effectively absorb and reduce the impact and vibration during transportation, and further reduce the risk of the bottom of the glass bottle breaking due to excessive force.

[0025] In summary, the anti-tipping device of this utility model has an ingenious structure and reasonable design, which can significantly improve the safety and reliability of glass bottle transportation, effectively reduce the tipping and breakage of glass bottles during transportation, and provide strong protection for the safe and efficient operation of glass bottle production, packaging and transportation.

[0033] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In modern industrial production, especially in glass bottle production and packaging lines, conveyor systems play a crucial role. Traditional conveyor systems, such as common belt conveyors, while enabling continuous transport of glass bottles, are prone to tipping over in practical applications, particularly during high-speed or unstable transport. This can lead to bottle breakage, causing economic losses, and potentially disrupting production processes and reducing efficiency. To address this tipping problem during glass bottle transport, this invention proposes an anti-tipping device designed to improve the stability and safety of glass bottle transport.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 The device shown includes a bottle-prevention mechanism, comprising a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, and a drive motor 3. The conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the conveyor frame 1, and the drive motor 3 drives the conveyor belt 2 to move in order to convey the glass bottle 12. It also includes:

[0036] An anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5 is installed on the conveyor belt 2. The anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5 includes a mounting bracket 501, an adjusting ring 502, and multiple anti-tipping components 503. The mounting bracket 501 is installed on the conveyor belt 2, and the adjusting ring 502 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 501. The anti-tipping component 503 includes a hinge rod 5031, an anti-tipping side plate 5032, and a guide mechanism. One end of the hinge rod 5031 is hinged to the adjusting ring 502, and the other end of the hinge rod 5031 is hinged to the anti-tipping side plate 5032. The guide mechanism is installed between the anti-tipping side plate 5032 and the mounting bracket 501 to guide the movement direction of the anti-tipping side plate 5032.

[0037] Multiple anti-tipping side plates 5032 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the adjusting ring 502, and the multiple anti-tipping side plates 5032 form a receiving space for accommodating the glass bottle 12.

[0038] The support plate 6 is mounted on the mounting bracket 501 and located below the adjusting ring 502, and is used to support the bottom of the glass bottle 12.

[0039] In operation, during actual use, the position of the anti-tipping side plates 5032 is first adjusted by rotating the adjusting ring 502 according to the diameter of the glass bottle 12 to be conveyed. This ensures that the size of the accommodating space formed by the multiple anti-tipping side plates 5032 matches the diameter of the glass bottle 12. Then, the glass bottle 12 is placed on the conveyor belt 2, and the drive motor 3 is started. The drive motor 3 drives the conveyor belt 2, which in turn moves the anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5 forward, thus conveying the glass bottle 12. During conveying, the anti-tipping side plates 5032 form a reliable barrier against the side walls of the glass bottle 12, preventing it from tipping over. Simultaneously, the support plate 6 provides support to the bottom of the glass bottle 12, reducing the risk of breakage. This ensures the safety and stability of the glass bottle 12 during conveying, improves conveying efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0040] As one embodiment of this utility model, it also includes:

[0041] A rubber cushioning pad 7 is disposed on the upper surface of the tray 6 and located below the receiving space, for contacting the bottom of the glass bottle 12 to cushion the glass bottle 12.

[0042] As one embodiment of this utility model, the rubber buffer pad 7 is made of rubber material, and the elasticity of the rubber material is used to improve the buffering performance of the rubber buffer pad 7.

[0043] During operation, the material of the rubber cushioning pad 7 is limited to rubber. As a polymer material, rubber possesses excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and shock absorption properties, making it ideal for manufacturing cushioning pads. Rubber effectively absorbs and disperses impact forces, reduces vibration transmission, and protects objects in contact with it from damage. In this invention, the rubber cushioning pad 7 is in direct contact with the bottom of the glass bottle 12. When the glass bottle 12 is subjected to impact or vibration during transport, the rubber cushioning pad 7 can utilize its own elastic deformation to absorb impact energy, mitigating the direct impact force on the bottom of the glass bottle 12, thereby reducing the risk of breakage at the bottom of the glass bottle 12.

[0044] As one embodiment of this utility model, the guiding mechanism includes:

[0045] Sleeve 5033 is located below adjusting ring 502, and sleeve 5033 is fixedly connected to mounting bracket 501;

[0046] A horizontal slide bar 5034 is slidably disposed inside a sleeve 5033, and one end of the horizontal slide bar 5034 is fixedly connected to an anti-tipping side plate 5032 to guide the movement direction of the anti-tipping side plate 5032.

[0047] During operation, the sleeve 5033 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 501. The main function of the sleeve 5033 is to provide guiding support for the horizontal slide bar 5034, ensuring its smooth sliding within. The sleeve 5033 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 501 using various methods, such as bolts, welding, or adhesive, as long as it does not loosen or shift during device operation. The sleeve 5033 can be cylindrical, square, or other suitable shapes, as long as it can slide smoothly with the horizontal slide bar 5034. The horizontal slide bar 5034 is slidably mounted within the sleeve 5033, and one end of the horizontal slide bar 5034 is fixedly connected to the anti-tipping side plate 5032. The main function of the horizontal slide bar 5034 is to connect the anti-tipping side plate 5032 and the sleeve 5033, and to restrict the movement of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 along the length of the sleeve 5033. The sliding fit between the horizontal slide bar 5034 and the sleeve 5033 ensures that the anti-tipping side plate 5032 can move smoothly during adjustment, avoiding jamming or shaking.

[0048] Therefore, through the combined use of sleeve 5033 and slide bar 5034, the movement direction of anti-tipping side plate 5032 can be effectively guided and constrained, ensuring that anti-tipping side plate 5032 always moves along a predetermined straight trajectory during adjustment without deviation or rotation. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the anti-tipping side plate 5032's position adjustment, making the adjustment of the glass bottle's containing space more accurate, thereby improving the overall anti-tipping performance of the device. Compared to adjusting the position of anti-tipping side plate 5032 solely through a hinge structure, adding the guiding structure of sleeve 5033 and slide bar 5034 can significantly improve the stability and reliability of the anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5, enabling the device to maintain a stable anti-tipping effect during long-term operation.

[0049] As one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket 501 is provided with a vertical sliding groove, and the bottom of the support plate 6 is provided with a slider that slides in cooperation with the vertical sliding groove, so that the support plate 6 can slide up and down along the vertical direction.

[0050] The anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5 also includes a spring 10, which is located below the support plate 6. The upper end of the spring 10 abuts against the bottom of the support plate 6, and the lower end of the spring 10 abuts against the mounting bracket 501, so as to provide a buffering force for the support plate 6.

[0051] During operation, when the glass bottle 12 is placed on the tray 6, the weight of the glass bottle 12 is transferred to the tray 6, causing the tray 6 to move downwards against the elastic force of the spring 10. The spring 10 is then compressed and generates a reverse elastic force, thereby buffering and shock absorption, effectively absorbing the impact and vibration generated during the placement or transportation of the glass bottle 12. By setting a vertical sliding groove on the mounting bracket 501, a slider at the bottom of the tray 6, and the spring 10, this invention not only realizes the vertical sliding function of the tray 6, but also utilizes the spring 10 to provide reliable buffering force for the tray 6, further enhancing the device's buffering protection effect on the bottom of the glass bottle 12. Compared to the previous embodiment that only relied on the rubber buffer pad 7 for buffering, this embodiment, through the addition of a mechanical buffer design, makes the buffering effect more obvious, more effectively reducing the risk of bottom damage to the glass bottle 12 during placement or transportation, and improving the reliability of the device and its protective capability for the glass bottle 12.

[0052] As one embodiment of this utility model, the anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5 further includes:

[0053] The fixing block 8 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 501 and located at the top of the adjusting ring 502;

[0054] And screw 9, the fixing block 8 is provided with a threaded through hole 11, screw 9 is threaded to the threaded through hole 11, and by tightening screw 9, the end of screw 9 is pressed against adjusting ring 502 to fix adjusting ring 502.

[0055] During operation, the fixing block 8 and screw 9 work together to form a simple and reliable locking mechanism, which can easily fix the adjusting ring 502 in the set position. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the anti-tipping side plate 5032, simply loosen the screw 9 to allow the adjusting ring 502 to rotate freely for adjustment; after adjusting to the appropriate position, tighten the screw 9 to firmly lock the adjusting ring 502, preventing it from rotating accidentally due to vibration or other reasons during transportation, which would cause the position of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 to change, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the anti-tipping device.

[0056] As one embodiment of this utility model, there are multiple anti-tipping adjustment mechanisms 5, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2; the number of anti-tipping adjustment mechanisms 5 can be set according to the actual length of the conveyor line and the anti-tipping requirements.

[0057] As one embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 is an arc-shaped surface, and the curvature of the arc-shaped surface is adapted to the curvature of the outer wall of the glass bottle 12, so as to make the contact between the anti-tipping side plate 5032 and the glass bottle 12 more stable.

[0058] To further enhance the contact stability and support effect between the anti-tipping side plate 5032 and the glass bottle 12 during operation, this invention features a more refined design for the structure of the anti-tipping side plate 5032. The inner wall of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 is designed as an arc-shaped surface, rather than a simple plane or other shape. This arc-shaped surface design better conforms to the curved contour of the cylindrical glass bottle 12, achieving surface-to-surface contact rather than line or point contact, thereby increasing the contact area between the anti-tipping side plate 5032 and the glass bottle 12. More importantly, this invention also emphasizes that the curvature of the arc-shaped surface must match the curvature of the outer wall of the glass bottle 12. This means that when designing the arc-shaped inner wall of the anti-tipping side plate 5032, the diameter and curvature of the glass bottle 12 to be transported must be fully considered, ensuring that the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped surface is as consistent as possible with the radius of curvature of the outer wall of the glass bottle 12. By precisely matching the curvature, the inner wall of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 can be perfectly fitted to the outer surface of the glass bottle 12, achieving maximum surface contact, thereby providing the glass bottle 12 with all-round and uniform lateral support force, which greatly improves the stability and reliability of the anti-tipping mechanism.

[0059] Working principle of this utility model:

[0060] In use, the glass bottles to be transported are conveyed from one side of the anti-tipping device to the other. First, the diameter of the space enclosed by all the anti-tipping side plates 5032 is adjusted according to the diameter of the glass bottle 12. The adjusting ring 502 is rotated on the mounting bracket 501. The rotation of the adjusting ring 502 drives the hinge rod 5031 to move, changing the angle between the hinge rod 5031 and the anti-tipping side plate 5032. This causes the hinge rod 5031 to push or pull the anti-tipping side plate 5032 to move. The movement of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 causes the horizontal slide rod 5034 to slide along the sleeve 5033. The guiding effect of the horizontal slide rod 5034 keeps the movement direction of the anti-tipping side plate 5032 in the same straight line as the sleeve 5033. By moving the anti-tipping side plates 5032 closer together or further apart, the diameter of the space enclosed by all the anti-tipping side plates 5032 is adjusted to a size that is compatible with the diameter of the glass bottle 12. The glass bottle 12 is surrounded by the anti-tipping side plate 5032 to prevent it from tipping over. With the screw 9 and the threaded through hole 11 connected by threads, tightening the screw 9 makes its bottom end abut against the adjusting ring 502, thus keeping the adjusting ring 502 in its current position and preventing it from moving. The anti-tipping side plate 5032 is also kept in its current position and does not move. When placing the glass bottle 12, the bottom end of the glass bottle 12 contacts the rubber buffer pad 7. At the same time, the support plate 6 slides longitudinally on the mounting bracket 501 after being pressed, and the spring 10 provides cushioning. This reduces the risk of the bottom of the glass bottle 12 breaking due to excessive force. The drive motor 3 drives the conveyor roller 4 to rotate. With the transmission cooperation between the conveyor belt 2 and the conveyor roller 4, the conveyor roller 4 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate. The conveyor belt 2 drives the anti-tipping adjustment mechanism 5 to transport the glass bottle 12 from one side of the device to the other side.

[0061] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
