[0002] In beverage production lines, bottle conveying is a crucial step, its efficiency and safety directly impacting overall production capacity and product quality. To improve conveying efficiency and ensure bottle stability during transport, continuous conveyor belts are typically used. However, in existing technologies, beverage bottles on conveyor belts are prone to blockages, breakage, or tipping due to uneven speed, misalignment, or mutual compression. This not only affects the normal operation of the production line but can also create safety hazards. To address this issue, some flow control and protection devices have emerged on the market, but these devices are mostly complex in structure, inconvenient to adjust, and difficult to flexibly adjust according to different bottle sizes and conveying requirements. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems of complex structure, inconvenient adjustment, and insufficient flexibility in existing beverage bottle conveying and guiding protection devices, a beverage bottle conveying and guiding protection device and system are proposed. This utility model provides the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", and "right", are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration and not for limiting the invention of this utility model. Example

[0027] A beverage bottle conveying and guiding protection device includes a crossbeam 5, toothed plates 3 for installation on the left and right sides of a conveyor belt 82, and guide plates 1 arranged parallel to the sides of the toothed plates 3. A traveling gear 4 is meshed on the toothed plates 3, and a mounting seat 2 is slidably connected to the guide plate 1. The mounting seat 2 is slidably connected to the guide plate 1. The crossbeam 5 is mounted on the mounting seats 2 on both sides, and a drive motor 41 is mounted on the mounting seat 2. The drive motor 41 is driven and connected to the traveling gear 4 to ensure high traveling speed and movement accuracy.

[0028] Adjustment components 6 are symmetrically installed on the crossbeam 5. Each adjustment component 6 includes a lifting drive device 61, which is connected to the crossbeam 5 and drives a mounting plate 62 downwards. An adjustment motor 64 and a guide rod 63 are installed on the mounting plate 62. An adjustment plate 66 is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate 62 for contacting the bottle and pushing or guiding it. The guide rod 63 is slidably connected to the crossbeam 5. The adjustment motor 64 is driven to the adjustment plate 66 through its output shaft. The symmetrically arranged adjustment plates 66 are divided into zones and can move back and forth along the conveyor belt 82 to adjust the height and rotation angle of the adjustment plates 66. This actively drives the bottles to shift or provides passive flow at a fixed angle, preventing blockages or excessive density and keeping the bottles in a low-risk area.

[0029] Specifically, the crossbeam 5 is provided with a guide hole, and the guide rod 63 is slidably connected to the guide hole. The cross section of the guide rod 63 is D-shaped to improve the stability and accuracy of sliding.

[0030] Specifically, the guide rod 63 and the lifting drive device 61 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction to ensure the stability and balance of the entire device.

[0031] Specifically, a counterweight 65 is installed on the mounting plate 62, and the adjusting motor 64 and the counterweight 65 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the mounting plate 62 in the front-rear direction, which further enhances the stability of the device.

[0032] Specifically, the adjustment plate 66 includes a plug-in socket, and a first slot is provided through the lower part of the plug-in socket on both sides. A first guide plate 7 for guiding flow is inserted into the first slot.

[0033] Specifically, the lower end face of the first guide plate 7 is inclined. Therefore, after the first guide plate 7 rotates, its lower end face rotates along the conical surface. The closer the first guide plate 7 is to the end, the lower the height that can be contacted. This helps to guide the bottle smoothly and allows the lower part to contact only the middle or side part of the bottle of the conveyor belt 82.

[0034] Specifically, the lifting drive device 61 adopts a cylinder or a linear motor.

[0035] Furthermore, a distance sensor is installed on the mounting plate 62 to detect the maximum distance between the mounting plate 62 and the bottle below. Based on this maximum distance, the first guide plate 7 can be lowered to the corresponding height by the lifting drive device 61 to contact the lowest position of the bottle. Then, the first guide plate 7 is driven to rotate around the vertical axis by the motor 64, thereby actively moving the bottle or providing passive flow guidance at a fixed angle. The bottle tends to move forward under the drive of the conveyor belt 82, contacts the first guide plate 7 and is displaced under the guidance of the first guide plate 7. This can be used for the inward displacement of edge bottles or the lateral displacement of middle bottles. After the flow guidance is completed, it can be moved upward and reset directly. Example

[0036] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the first slot is fitted with an expansion mounting pin 11, the cross-section of which is I-shaped to enhance the stability of the insertion; a first fixing plate 121 is inserted into the lower end of the mounting pin 11, and a second guide plate 122 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first fixing plate 121. One end of the second guide plate 122 is bent forward or backward at 90 degrees, which can hook the bottle and drive the bottle to move more stably. After moving into place, it can be moved upward to reset and restore the initial rotation angle. Example

[0037] The difference from Embodiment 2 is that the lower end of the mounting pin 11 is inserted into the second fixing plate 131, and the lower end of the second fixing plate 131 is fixedly connected to the third guide plate 132. The third guide plate 132 is a left-right symmetrical arc plate, which facilitates the convergence towards the middle of the third guide plate 132. Since the third guide plate 132 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, specifically, it is close to the position of one-quarter or three-quarters in the left-right direction of the conveyor belt 82. Example

[0038] A beverage bottle conveying and guiding protection system includes a conveyor 8 for conveying bottles. A vision sensor 9 is mounted on the conveyor 8 to detect the bottle's posture and position information. The conveyor 8 includes a frame 81, a conveyor belt 82, and a drive assembly 83 for driving the conveyor belt 82. A beverage bottle conveying and guiding protection device as described in Embodiment 1, 2, or 3 is mounted on the frame 81. The vision sensor 9 is electrically connected to a controller. The controller determines the position to be processed based on the bottle's posture and position information. Combined with the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 82, the controller electrically connects and drives the drive motor 41, lifting drive device 61, and adjusting motor 64 of the beverage bottle conveying and guiding protection device to achieve precise positioning and displacement control of the bottle to be guided and corrected. The power supply scheme is prior art and will not be described further.

[0039] Specifically, the frame 81 has multiple rollers 10 for contacting the bottle body installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 82 in the front-back direction. The rollers 10 are rotatably connected to the frame 81 around a vertical axis. Protective pads are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rollers 10 to effectively prevent the bottle body from being scratched and damaged during the conveying process, thereby improving the overall performance of the system and the quality of bottle conveying.
