Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery technology, and in particular to a bottle blockage treatment structure, a conveying device, and an integrated blow-fill-spindle production line. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of products such as purified water, mineral water, spring water, fruit juice beverages, and carbonated beverages, blow-fill-screw integrated machines are often used. These machines integrate blow-filling, filling, and capping into a single solution, which facilitates packaging production.
[0003] Currently, during the production process, bottles are generally conveyed inside the machine via a star wheel, and when they exit the machine, they are transferred to the conveyor via the bottle exit star wheel. When the conveyor becomes clogged due to issues such as bottle congestion or bottle tipping, if not handled promptly, the large number of bottles crowding and blocking may cause the clamps used to fix the bottles inside the star wheel transmission device to be impacted, thereby damaging the bottle clamps of the star wheel and affecting the use and maintenance of the blow-fill-seal integrated machine.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bottle blockage treatment structure, a conveying device, and an integrated blow-fill-swirl production line to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The first objective of this invention is to provide a bottle blockage handling structure that can clear and discharge accumulated bottles when they are blocked, thereby preventing the blockage from contacting the star wheel structure and causing damage, and improving the reliability of the equipment.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A bottle blockage handling structure is installed on a conveying device, and the bottle blockage handling structure includes:
[0008] Mounting base, the aforementioned mounting base can be fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor;
[0009] A support member is hinged to the mounting base, and the support member can rotate around the mounting base to a first position or a second position.
[0010] The protective plate is fixedly connected to the mounting base. When the support member is in the first position, the protective plate is suspended on the conveyor and protects the transported bottle. When the support member is in the second position, the protective plate is away from the conveyor to form an evacuation gap.
[0011] Optionally, the support member is provided with a connecting seat, one end of which is hinged to one end of the mounting seat, and the other end of which can be fitted together or separated from the other end of the mounting seat.
[0012] Optionally, one end of the connecting seat is hinged to one end of the mounting seat via a pivot.
[0013] Optionally, the other end of the connecting seat is magnetically connected to the other end of the mounting seat.
[0014] Optionally, the mounting base is provided with a first magnetic element, and the connecting base is provided with a second magnetic element, wherein the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element have opposite magnetic properties.
[0015] Optionally, the first magnetic element is disposed in the inner cavity of the mounting base, and the second magnetic element is disposed in the inner cavity of the connecting base.
[0016] Optionally, the mounting base is made of food-grade material; and / or,
[0017] The aforementioned support components are made of food-grade materials; and / or,
[0018] The aforementioned protective panels are made of food-grade materials.
[0019] Optionally, a first sensor is provided on one side of the mounting base, the first sensor being used to sense whether the support member is in contact with the mounting base; or,
[0020] The aforementioned support member is equipped with a second sensor, which is used to sense whether the support member is in contact with the mounting base; or,
[0021] The mounting base is provided with a first sensor and the support member is provided with a second sensor, and the first sensor and the second sensor can sense each other.
[0022] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a conveying device, including a conveyor and the aforementioned bottle blockage treatment structure. The bottle blockage treatment structure is installed on the conveyor and can clear and discharge the accumulated bottles when they are blocked, thereby preventing the blocked bottles from contacting the star wheel structure and causing damage, thus improving the reliability of the equipment.
[0023] The third objective of this utility model is to provide an integrated blow-fill-seal production line, including the aforementioned conveying device.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0025] This utility model provides a bottle blockage handling structure, a conveying device, and an integrated blow-fill-spindle production line. When bottles are being transported normally on the conveyor, the support is in its first position, with the guard plate suspended from the conveyor to protect the bottles. When a bottle becomes blocked, it is pressed against the guardrails and guard plates on both sides of the conveyor. The pressing force drives the support to rotate around its mounting base to a second position, causing the guard plate to move away from the conveyor, creating a evacuation gap. The accumulated bottles are then discharged from this gap, preventing damage to the star wheel structure and improving the reliability of the conveying device. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This invention introduces the bottle blockage treatment structure, transportation device, and integrated blow-fill-swirl production line provided by this utility model.
[0041] This embodiment provides a bottle blockage handling structure, which is installed on the conveying device. When a bottle blockage occurs in the conveyor 200 of the conveying device, the accumulated bottle can be cleared and discharged in a timely manner, avoiding damage caused by the blockage contacting the star wheel structure, and improving the reliability of the equipment.
[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 Specifically, the bottle blockage handling structure includes a mounting base 10, a support member 20, and a protective plate 30. The mounting base 10 can be fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor 200. The support member 20 is hinged to the mounting base 10 and can rotate around the mounting base 10 to a first position or a second position. The protective plate 30 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 10. When the support member 20 is in the first position, the protective plate 30 is suspended on the conveyor 200 and protects the transported bottle. When the support member 20 is in the second position, the protective plate 30 is away from the conveyor 200 to form an evacuation gap.
[0043] In this embodiment, the bottle blockage handling structure is installed on the conveyor 200 of the conveying device. When the bottles on the conveyor 200 are being transported normally, the support member 20 is in the first position, and the guard plate 30 is suspended on the conveyor 200 to protect the bottles being transported on the conveyor 200. When the bottles on the conveyor 200 become blocked, the bottles will be squeezed towards the guardrails and guard plate 30 on both sides of the conveyor 200. The squeezing force drives the support member 20 to rotate around the mounting base 10 to the second position, thereby moving the guard plate 30 away from the conveyor 200 and forming an evacuation gap. The accumulated bottles will be discharged from the evacuation gap, avoiding squeezing the star wheel structure and causing damage, thus improving the reliability of the conveying device in transporting bottles.
[0044] Optionally, the number of mounting bases 10 and support members 20 may be one, two, or more, and can be adapted to the length of the guard plate 30, without specific limitation. For example, in this embodiment, two mounting bases 10 and two support members 20 are provided to improve the support for the guard plate 30.
[0045] Optionally, the mounting base 10 is made of food-grade materials; and / or, the support member 20 is made of food-grade materials; and / or, the protective plate 30 is made of food-grade materials. This arrangement ensures that the mounting base 10 and / or the support member 20 and / or the protective plate 30 all meet food-grade requirements, preventing contamination of the bottling line, allowing for equipment disinfection, and application in a sterile environment.
[0046] Specifically, the mounting base 10, support 20, and guard plate 30 are all made of food-grade stainless steel to meet usage requirements.
[0047] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the support member 20 is provided with a connecting seat 21. One end of the connecting seat 21 is hinged to one end of the mounting seat 10, and the other end can be attached to or separated from the other end of the mounting seat 10 to realize the hinged connection between the support member 20 and the mounting seat 10, so as to facilitate the rotation of the support member 20 between the first position and the second position.
[0048] Specifically, one end of the connecting seat 21 and one end of the mounting seat 10 are hinged together by a rotating shaft 40, thus achieving a hinged connection between the two.
[0049] Specifically, the other end of the connecting seat 21 is magnetically connected to the other end of the mounting seat 10. This arrangement ensures that when the support member 20 is in the first position, the two are not only connected by the gravity of the support member 20 and the protective plate 30, but also further connected and fixed by magnetic attraction. This avoids problems such as shaking of the protective plate 30 during protective use, prevents the connection from being weak, and avoids the problem of the bottle turning to the second position when it is not blocked. This improves the reliability of the bottle blockage treatment structure.
[0050] More specifically, the mounting base 10 is provided with a first magnetic element 11, and the connecting base 21 is provided with a second magnetic element 211. The first magnetic element 11 and the second magnetic element 211 have opposite magnetic properties, so that a magnetic connection can be achieved between the mounting base 10 and the connecting base 21.
[0051] For example, the first magnetic element 11 and the second magnetic element 211 can be magnets, and the magnetic properties of the surfaces that are in contact with each other can be opposite.
[0052] Optionally, the first magnetic element 11 is disposed in the inner cavity of the mounting base 10, and the second magnetic element 211 is disposed in the inner cavity of the connecting base 21. This arrangement ensures that the outer frame of the mounting base 10 and the support 20 is still made of food-grade material, which facilitates the disinfection of the bottle blockage treatment structure and is suitable for use in a sterile environment.
[0053] Furthermore, the support member 20 also includes a support arm 22, which is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 21 or is integrally formed with the connecting seat 21. The support arm 22 is used to support the installation guard plate 30.
[0054] Specifically, the guard plate 30 includes a connecting beam 31 and a protective beam 32, which are vertically connected. The connecting beam 31 is connected to the side of the support arm 22 away from the connecting seat 21, and the protective beam 32 is set towards the conveyor. The support arm 22, the connecting beam 31, and the protective beam 32 form a square structure, which can improve the protective function and stability of the guard plate 30.
[0055] To ensure timely shutdown and maintenance of the conveyor when a bottle becomes clogged, in this embodiment, a first sensor 50 is provided on one side of the mounting base 10. The first sensor 50 is used to sense whether the support member 20 is in contact with the mounting base 10; or the support member 20 is provided with a second sensor, which is used to sense whether the support member 20 is in contact with the mounting base 10; or the mounting base 10 is provided with the first sensor 50 and the support member 20 is provided with the second sensor, and the first sensor 50 and the second sensor can sense each other. The sensors are used to detect whether the support member 20 is in a first position or a second position, so that when the guard plate 30 moves away from the conveyor and forms an evacuation gap, the first sensor 50 and / or the second sensor lose their sensing and send a corresponding signal to the control system, so that the control system can stop the equipment.
[0056] For example, in this embodiment, a first sensing element 50 is provided on one side of the mounting base 10. The first sensing element 50 is a proximity switch. A second sensing element is provided at the support member 20. The second sensing element is a sensing block or other structure that can be sensed by the proximity switch. When the support member 20 is attached to the mounting base 10 and is in the first position, the first sensing element 50 can sense the second sensing element and is in normal operation. After the support member 20 rotates around the mounting base 10, the sensing between the first sensing element 50 and the second sensing element is disengaged. The first sensing element 50 sends a corresponding signal so that the control system can control the equipment to stop.
[0057] This embodiment also provides a conveying device, which includes a conveyor 200 and a bottle blockage treatment structure as described in any of the above embodiments, the bottle blockage treatment structure being disposed on the conveyor 200. During normal conveying, this conveying device has a protective plate 30 to protect the bottles, and in the event of congestion, it has an evacuation opening to facilitate bottle discharge and equipment shutdown, exhibiting high reliability.
[0058] This embodiment also provides an integrated blow-fill-seal production line, which includes the conveying device described in any of the above-described solutions. This integrated blow-fill-seal production line possesses the beneficial effects of all the solutions regarding the conveying device and the bottle blockage handling structure, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
