Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glassware production equipment, and in particular to a glassware processing and conveying interval control device. Background Technology

[0002] The processing and production of modern glassware can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. With the development of steam power and automation technology, glassmaking began to shift from traditional manual production to large-scale mechanized production. This transformation significantly increased the efficiency of glassware production and made it more affordable. In the 20th century, especially with technological advancements and the introduction of new materials, modern glass production processes continued to innovate. For example, molten glass technology, pressing technology, blowing technology, and cold working technology were all widely used. Today, the production of modern glassware not only relies on advanced automated equipment but also incorporates digital control systems to ensure product quality and precision. Besides common products such as glass cups and bottles in daily life, the applications of modern glassware also cover multiple fields such as medicine, chemicals, food, and construction, reflecting the diversification and high performance of glass products.

[0003] However, existing equipment often encounters the following problems during use:

[0004] During the production and transportation of glassware, if the spacing between the vessels is too small, collisions may occur, leading to breakage or damage to the glass. Manually adjusting the spacing between the vessels is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to errors, resulting in low efficiency and damage to the vessels. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a glassware processing and conveying interval control device to effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art. In the production and transportation of glassware, if the spacing between the vessels is too small, collisions can occur, leading to glass breakage or damage. Manually adjusting the vessel spacing is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors, resulting in low efficiency and vessel damage. The interval control device designed in this invention, when the cylinder retracts, pulls the linkage rod with a horizontal push plate, causing the flipping rod to flip, closing the ends of the two sets of blocking screws to form a blocking area, thereby maintaining the spacing between the vessels during conveying. The laser sensor and cylinder control system in the design enable the entire process to operate automatically, reducing manual intervention.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A glassware processing conveying interval control device, comprising:

[0008] Conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being used to transport glassware;

[0009] Support platform, which is mounted on the conveyor belt;

[0010] A laser sensor, located on the bottom surface of the support platform, is used to sense glassware on the conveyor belt;

[0011] The cylinder is mounted on the top of the support platform, and its output end is connected to the horizontal booster plate.

[0012] A transverse booster plate, which is horizontally mounted on the output end of the cylinder;

[0013] The blocking assembly comprises two sets, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder. Each blocking assembly includes a linkage rod, a tilting rod, a rotating shaft, a mounting component, and a blocking screw. One end of the linkage rod is hinged to the transverse booster plate, and the other end is hinged to one end of the tilting rod. The other end of the tilting rod is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and one end of the rotating shaft extends longitudinally through the support platform. The mounting component is fixed to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and the blocking screw passes through the mounting component. When the cylinder retracts, the transverse booster plate pulls the linkage rod, causing the tilting rod to tilt, thus closing the ends of the two blocking screws to form a blocking area.

[0014] Also includes:

[0015] A support frame, which is fixedly installed on both sides of the support platform;

[0016] A guide rail component, one end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, and the guide rail component is sleeved on the shaft body of the rotating shaft.

[0017] The support platform and the rotating shaft are connected by bearings to achieve axial rotation.

[0018] The end of the barrier screw is provided with a flexible plastic sleeve.

[0019] The signal output terminal of the laser sensor is electrically connected to the control system of the cylinder.

[0020] One end of each of the two linkage rods is hinged to both ends of the transverse booster plate.

[0021] The support platform is provided with a shaft hole for the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The spacing control device designed in this invention, when the cylinder retracts, pulls the linkage rod with the transverse booster plate, causing the tilting rod to flip, closing the ends of the two sets of blocking screws to form a blocking area, thus maintaining the spacing between the containers during transport. The laser sensor and cylinder control system in the design automate the entire process, reducing manual intervention. The system can automatically detect and adjust the spacing between containers, ensuring that each container receives an appropriate interval. By precisely controlling the spacing between containers, the system effectively avoids collisions, ensuring that each glass container maintains a safe distance during transport, thereby reducing the risk of breakage.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" 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 will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a glass processing conveying interval control device, which includes: a conveyor belt 1, a support platform 2, a laser sensor 3, a cylinder 4, a transverse booster plate 5, a blocking assembly 6, a linkage rod 61, a tilting rod 62, a rotating shaft rod 63, a mounting component 64, and a blocking screw 65;

[0031] Conveyor belt 1 is used to transport glassware. Support platform 2 is installed on conveyor belt 1. Support platform 2 is connected to rotating shaft 63 via bearings to achieve axial rotation. Support platform 2 has shaft holes for rotating shaft 63. Support platform 2 is the foundation supporting the entire control system. It is fixed to conveyor belt 1 and connected to other components via rotating shaft 63, enabling subsequent components to smoothly execute control actions. Laser sensor 3 is located on the bottom surface of support platform 2 to sense the glassware on conveyor belt 1. The signal output end of laser sensor 3 is electrically connected to the control system of cylinder 4 and is installed on the top of support platform 2. Its output end is connected to the horizontal booster plate. The horizontal booster plate 5 is horizontally installed on the output end of cylinder 4. The horizontal booster plate is driven by cylinder 4 and is mainly responsible for driving the movement of linkage rod 61 and tilting rod 62. It adjusts the spacing of the glassware by pulling the blocking components 6 at both ends, ensuring that the interval between each glassware can be precisely controlled.

[0032] In this invention, the cylinder 4 performs a pushing and pulling action, driving the movement of the transverse booster plate and the two sets of blocking components 6. When the glassware passes the position detected by the laser sensor 3, the cylinder 4 is activated, driving subsequent mechanical actions to achieve interval control. The cylinder 4 is the core component for action execution, providing rapid power conversion.

[0033] In this invention, the main function of the laser sensor 3 is to sense the glassware on the conveyor belt 1. When a glassware passes by, the laser sensor 3 detects its presence and triggers subsequent control actions. This sensor provides accurate detection capabilities, ensuring a timely response from the control system.

[0034] In this invention, two sets of blocking components 6 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder 4. Each blocking component 6 includes a linkage rod 61, a flipping rod 62, a rotating shaft 63, a mounting piece 64, and a blocking screw 65. One end of the linkage rod 61 is hinged to the transverse booster plate, and the other end is hinged to one end of the flipping rod 62. One end of each linkage rod 61 is hinged to both ends of the transverse booster plate. The other end of the flipping rod 62 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 63. The linkage rod 61 and the flipping rod 62 are linked by hinges. The linkage rod 61 connects the transverse booster plate and the flipping rod 62, allowing the push from the cylinder 4 to be effectively transmitted to the flipping rod 62. The flipping action of the flipping rod 62 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 63, which in turn causes the blocking screw 65 to close or open, adjusting the spacing of the glassware.

[0035] In this invention, one end of the rotating shaft 63 is longitudinally inserted into the support platform 2, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 63 is fixed to the mounting part 64. Through the combination of the bearing and the rotating shaft 63, the support platform 2 can stably achieve axial rotation, while reducing friction and improving operating efficiency and stability. The blocking screw 65 is inserted into the mounting part 64. When the cylinder 4 retracts, the transverse push plate pulls the linkage rod 61, causing the flipping rod 62 to flip, closing the ends of the two sets of blocking screws 65 to form a blocking area. The ends of the blocking screws 65 are provided with flexible plastic sleeves. The rotating shaft 63 is the rotating shaft of the system. The axial rotation of the rotating shaft 63 drives the movement of the flipping rod 62 and the blocking screws 65. The design of the rotating shaft 63 achieves smooth transmission of mechanical movements, allowing the system to precisely adjust the intervals. The blocking screw 65 plays a crucial role in the two sets of blocking components 6. When the system operates, the ends of the blocking screws 65 gradually close, forming a blocking area, thereby preventing collisions between the containers. The flexible plastic sleeve design at the end of the barrier screw 65 helps to prevent damage to the glassware and ensures that the glassware is not harmed during contact.

[0036] In this invention, the support frame 7 is fixedly installed on both sides of the support platform 2, and one end of the guide rail 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 7. The guide rail 8 is sleeved on the shaft of the rotating shaft 63. The support frame 7 is fixed on both sides of the support platform 2, serving to support and stabilize the guide rail 8. By sleeved on the shaft of the rotating shaft 63, the guide rail 8 ensures the stable rotation of the rotating shaft 63 and avoids system instability due to positional deviation.

[0037] It should be noted that, in use, the glass processing conveying interval control device designed in this utility model, when the glassware is conveyed by the conveyor belt 1 to the support platform 2, the laser sensor 3 senses the glassware below and activates the cylinder 4 at the top of the support platform 2. The output end of the cylinder 4 retracts, driving the transverse push plate 5. The transverse push plate 5 moves and pulls the two sets of blocking components 6 at both ends. In the blocking component 6, one end of the linkage rod 61 is driven by one end of the transverse push plate 5, and the other end of the linkage rod 61 drives one end of the flipping rod 62 to flip, and the other end of the flipping rod 62 will rotate. As the rotating rod 62 rotates, the other end of the rotating rod 62 rotates, driving the attached rotating shaft 63. The rotating shaft 63 rotates around its axis, driving the mounting part 64 at the bottom of the rod. The blocking screw 65 attached to the mounting part 64 rotates together with the mounting part 64. The ends of the blocking screws 65 in the two sets of blocking components 6 gradually approach each other until a closed area is formed. The incoming container is blocked, and the distance between it and the container that has already passed through the closed area gradually increases. When the distance is appropriate, the cylinder 4 pops out, and the blocking components 6 run in the opposite direction. The ends of the blocking screws 65 in the two sets of blocking components 6 gradually move away from each other until the container can pass through.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
