Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production equipment technology, and in particular to a bottle unscrambler. Background Technology

[0002] There is a wide variety of beverages on the market, such as coconut or other fruit and plant protein drinks, whole grain drinks, fruit vinegar drinks such as plum or apple, and carbonated drinks such as soda or cola. These beverages are generally bottled. In the production process, bottle unscramblers are usually used to process a large number of beverage bottles that are in a disordered state, so as to disperse the beverage bottles and transport them to the filling machine in an orderly manner to meet the requirements of automated production. Existing bottle unscramblers generally include a housing, a rotating turntable mounted inside the housing, and an annular support plate located below the turntable. The housing is equipped with a shaving device and a discharge mechanism. Multiple baffles are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the turntable, with adjacent baffles forming a discharge chute. During operation, a large number of beverage bottles are fed onto the turntable. The turntable rotates, causing the bottles to fall radially between adjacent baffles. The shaving device then kicks bottles with their bottoms facing the housing back onto the turntable, while bottles with their mouths facing the housing are pushed along the support plate by the baffles and discharged by the discharge mechanism. The current drawback of this type of bottle unscrambler is that, due to the fixed baffles, the width of the discharge chute is fixed. This type of unscrambler is generally used to process beverage bottles whose diameter is similar to the width of the discharge chute, and cannot handle beverage bottles with significantly different diameters, thus limiting its working capacity. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a bottle unscrambler that can adjust the width of the feeding chute to meet the processing needs of beverage bottles of different diameters, thereby improving work capacity.

[0004] A bottle unscrambler according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a shaving device, a discharge mechanism, and a turntable. The housing has an open inner cavity at the top, and a horizontally arranged annular support plate is disposed inside the inner cavity. The discharge mechanism is disposed on the outer wall of the housing. The turntable is installed inside the inner cavity, and a first driving mechanism is disposed between the turntable and the housing. The first driving mechanism is used to drive the turntable to rotate. A plurality of first baffles are evenly arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable. The first baffles are located above the support plate. A second baffle and a third baffle are disposed between two adjacent first baffles. Adjacent second baffles and third baffles enclose a material discharge trough, which is used to receive material along the turntable. The system contains radially laid-out beverage bottles. All second baffles are connected to a first mounting member, which is annular and mounted on the turntable. All third baffles are connected to a second mounting member, which is also annular and mounted on the turntable. Both the first and second mounting members can rotate relative to the turntable to adjust their mounting angle, thereby adjusting the width of the material discharge trough. A shaving device is disposed between the housing and the turntable. The turntable can drive the material discharge trough to pass sequentially through the shaving device and the discharge mechanism, shaving away beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing through the shaving device, and outputting the beverage bottles from the material discharge trough through the discharge mechanism.

[0005] In the bottle unscrambler provided by this utility model, a feeding trough with a width adapted to the diameter of the beverage bottle is formed by adjacent second and third baffles. The turntable can drive the feeding trough to pass sequentially through a shaving device and a discharge mechanism. The shaving device removes beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the machine casing from the feeding trough, and the discharge mechanism outputs the beverage bottles from the feeding trough. Since all second baffles are connected to the first mounting member and all third baffles are connected to the second mounting member, the installation positions of the second and third baffles can be adjusted by rotating and adjusting the installation angle of the first and second mounting members. This allows for adjustment of the width of the feeding trough to allow beverage bottles of different diameters to enter the feeding trough, meeting the bottle unscrambling needs of more beverage bottles of different diameters. In addition, the setting of the first baffle can control the distance between adjacent first and second baffles, and the distance between adjacent third baffles and first baffles is smaller than the diameter of the beverage bottle, so as to prevent beverage bottles from entering positions outside the feeding trough.

[0006] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting component is stacked on top of the second mounting component. The first mounting component has a first arc-shaped hole, and the second mounting component has a second arc-shaped hole. Both the first arc-shaped hole and the second arc-shaped hole are arranged around the rotation axis of the turntable. A locking bolt is inserted into the first arc-shaped hole. One end of the locking bolt is inserted into the second arc-shaped hole and screwed to the turntable. The other end of the locking bolt cooperates with the turntable to clamp and fix the first mounting component and the second mounting component.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the shaving device includes a motor and a flexible impeller. The motor is mounted on the housing, and the impeller is used to kick beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing out of the discharge trough. Alternatively, the shaving device includes a blowing device, which is used to blow beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing away from the discharge trough.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the shaving device includes a bottle bottom lifting member, which is mounted on the support plate. The bottle bottom lifting member is arc-shaped around the side wall of the inner cavity and avoids the discharge mechanism. The bottle bottom lifting member has a pushing surface facing the discharge trough. The pushing surface is inclined or arc-shaped and is used to lift beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing in the discharge trough.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are clearance gaps between the sidewall of the inner cavity and the first baffle, the second baffle and the third baffle. The clearance gaps are used to avoid the bottle bottom lifting component, and the bottle bottom lifting component is detachable.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the impeller is inclined.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a bottle pusher is provided in the material discharge trough, and a second driving mechanism is provided between the bottle pusher and the turntable. When the material discharge trough rotates from the discharge mechanism to the shaving device, the second driving mechanism can drive the bottle pusher to first slide away from the side wall of the inner cavity and then slide closer to the side wall of the inner cavity.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the lower end of the turntable has an installation cavity, the second driving mechanism includes a driving rail and a guide rod connected to the bottle pusher plate. The driving rail is disposed in the installation cavity, the guide rod is slidably inserted through the inner wall of the installation cavity, a limiting plate is installed at the end of the guide rod away from the bottle pusher plate, a pulley is rotatably mounted on the limiting plate, and a return spring is disposed between the bottle pusher plate and the turntable. The return spring is used to drive the bottle pusher plate to slide closer to the side wall of the inner cavity. The driving rail is curved, the pulley can roll along the driving rail, and when the discharge chute rotates from the discharge mechanism to the shaving device, the bottle pusher plate can first slide away from the side wall of the inner cavity and then slide closer to the side wall of the inner cavity under the cooperation of the driving rail and the return spring.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the drive rail near the discharge mechanism is rotatably mounted on the housing, and a rotation adjustment device is provided between the drive rail and the housing, the rotation adjustment device being used to drive the drive rail to rotate horizontally.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the side wall of the inner cavity is provided with a bottle-flipping structure, which is used to flip a beverage bottle that is in a flat position to a vertical position. The inner cavity is provided with a material-blocking mechanism, which is used to prevent the beverage bottle on the turntable from entering the bottle-flipping structure or the material-discharging mechanism.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a bottle unscrambler includes a housing 100, a shaving device 200, a discharge mechanism 300, and a turntable 410. The housing 100 has an inner cavity 110 with an open upper end, and a horizontally arranged annular support plate 120 is arranged inside the inner cavity 110. The discharge mechanism 300 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 100. The turntable 410 is installed in the inner cavity 110, and a first driving mechanism 420 is disposed between the turntable 410 and the housing 100. The first driving mechanism 420 is used to drive the turntable 410 to rotate. A plurality of first baffles 411 are evenly arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable 410. The first baffles 411 are located above the support plate 120. A second baffle 431 and a third baffle 441 are disposed between two adjacent first baffles 411. The adjacent second baffles 431 and third baffles 441 enclose and form a discharge trough 450 for discharging materials. The trough 450 is used to accommodate beverage bottles laid flat radially along the turntable 410. All the second baffles 431 are connected to the first mounting member 430, which is annular and mounted on the turntable 410. All the third baffles 441 are connected to the second mounting member 440, which is annular and mounted on the turntable 410. Both the first mounting member 430 and the second mounting member 440 can be rotated relative to the turntable 410 to adjust their mounting angle, thereby adjusting the width of the discharge trough 450. The shaving device 200 is disposed between the housing 100 and the turntable 410. The turntable 410 can drive the discharge trough 450 to pass sequentially through the shaving device 200 and the discharge mechanism 300. The shaving device 200 removes beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing 100 from the discharge trough 450, and the discharge mechanism 300 outputs the beverage bottles from the discharge trough 450. The inner cavity 110 has a circular cross-section and is coaxially arranged with the turntable 410 to ensure that the interval between the turntable 410 and the side wall of the inner cavity 110 is equal at any angle.

[0030] In the bottle unscrambler provided by this utility model, a feeding trough 450 with a width adapted to the diameter of the beverage bottle is formed by adjacent second baffles 431 and third baffles 441. The turntable 410 can drive the feeding trough 450 to pass sequentially through the shaving device 200 and the discharge mechanism 300. The shaving device 200 removes beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the machine housing 100 from the feeding trough 450, and the discharge mechanism 300 outputs the beverage bottles from the feeding trough 450. Since all second baffles 431 are connected to the first mounting member 430 and all third baffles 441 are connected to the second mounting member 440, the bottle unscrambler can be rotated to adjust the size of the bottles. By adjusting the installation angles of the first mounting member 430 and the second mounting member 440, the installation positions of the second baffle 431 and the third baffle 441 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the width of the discharge chute 450 to allow beverage bottles of different diameters to enter the discharge chute 450, meeting the bottle handling needs of more beverage bottles of different diameters. In addition, the setting of the first baffle 411 can control the distance between adjacent first baffles 411 and second baffles 431, and the distance between adjacent third baffles 441 and first baffles 411 to be smaller than the diameter of the beverage bottle, so as to prevent beverage bottles from entering positions outside the discharge chute 450.

[0031] Since the size of the bottle opening is smaller than the size of the bottle bottom, the shaving device 200 is designed with different installation heights or working angles to ensure that its working range avoids the bottle opening. This allows the shaving device 200 to remove beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing 100 from the material chute 450 while avoiding other beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing 100.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the shaving device 200 includes a motor 210 and a flexible impeller 220. The motor 210 is mounted on the housing 100, and the impeller 220 is used to kick beverage bottles with the bottom facing the housing 100 out of the discharge trough 450. Since the impeller 220 is flexible, the situation of the impeller 220 damaging the beverage bottle can be effectively reduced.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the impeller 220 is inclined, so that the blades of the impeller 220 are inclined relative to the side of the beverage bottle in the feed trough 450, providing an entry point for the impeller 220 to contact the beverage bottle, so that the impeller 220 can gradually contact the side of the blades at an incline, avoiding the beverage bottle from directly colliding with the side of the impeller 220, and reducing the damage of the impeller 220 to the beverage bottle.

[0034] In other embodiments, the shaving device 200 may also be configured in other ways. For example, the shaving device 200 may include a blowing device for blowing beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the housing 100 out of the discharge trough 450.

[0035] In order for the shaving device 200 to process beverage bottles of different diameters, the impeller 220 or the blowing device is mounted on the position adjustment device so that the height position of the impeller 220 or the air delivery angle of the blowing device can be adjusted by the position adjustment device.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a bottle bottom lifting member 230 is installed on the support plate 120. The bottle bottom lifting member 230 is arranged in an arc around the side wall of the inner cavity 110. The bottle bottom lifting member 230 avoids the discharge mechanism 300. The bottle bottom lifting member 230 has a push-out surface 231 facing the discharge groove 450. The push-out surface 231 is inclined or arc-shaped. The push-out surface 231 is used to lift the beverage bottle with the bottom facing the housing 100.

[0037] During the operation of the bottle unscrambler, beverage bottles in the discharge trough 450 slide towards the side wall of the inner cavity 110 under the action of centrifugal force. For beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 in the discharge trough 450, the bottle bottom lifting component 230 can be used to lift the bottom of the beverage bottle, so that the bottom of the beverage bottle with its bottom facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 in the discharge trough 450 will be disengaged from the discharge trough 450 in advance. The bottle bottom lifting component 230 can avoid beverage bottles with their mouths facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 in the discharge trough 450. Thus, the two beverage bottles with different postures are more distinguished, and it is easier for the impeller 220 or the blowing device to kick the beverage bottle with its bottom facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 out of the discharge trough 450, and effectively prevent the impeller 220 and the blowing device from kicking the beverage bottle with its mouth facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 out of the discharge trough 450. Furthermore, compared to directly kicking beverage bottles placed flat in the discharge trough 450 out of the discharge trough 450, after the beverage bottles are partially removed from the discharge trough 450, the impeller 220 and the blowing device can more easily and quickly remove the beverage bottles from the discharge trough 450, while reducing the damage to the beverage bottles. As a result, the rotation speed of the turntable 410 can be increased, and the bottle sorting task can be completed, thereby improving the bottle sorting efficiency.

[0038] It is easy to imagine that under the action of the bottle bottom lifting component 230, the sliding direction of one end of the beverage bottle bottom changes, thereby lifting the bottle bottom. After the bottle bottom is lifted to the top of the bottle bottom lifting component 230, the side wall of the inner cavity 110 is also inclined to the bottle bottom. Under the action of centrifugal force, the bottle bottom can generally continue to rise. Therefore, for beverage bottles of different diameters, the bottle bottom lifting component 230 can be used to lift the bottle bottom to the working area of ​​the impeller 220 or the blowing device. At this time, the above-mentioned position adjustment device can be set or not.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this utility model, clearance gaps 111 exist between the sidewall of the inner cavity 110 and the first baffle 411, the second baffle 431, and the third baffle 441. These clearance gaps 111 are used to avoid the bottle bottom lifting component 230. With this arrangement, the bottle bottom lifting component 230 can be easily installed and removed through the clearance gaps 111. In practical implementation, the bottle bottom lifting component 230 can avoid beverage bottles within a certain diameter range. Of course, if the bottle opening interferes with the bottle bottom lifting component 230, a suitable bottle bottom lifting component 230 can be replaced according to the size of the bottle opening.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this utility model, a first mounting component 430 is stacked on top of a second mounting component 440. The first mounting component 430 has a first arc-shaped hole 432, and the second mounting component 440 has a second arc-shaped hole 442. Both the first arc-shaped hole 432 and the second arc-shaped hole 442 are arranged around the rotation axis of the turntable 410. A locking bolt is inserted into the first arc-shaped hole 432. One end of the locking bolt is inserted into the second arc-shaped hole 442 and screwed to the turntable 410. The other end of the locking bolt cooperates with the turntable 410 to clamp and fix the first mounting component 430 and the second mounting component 440. With the above arrangement, the first mounting component 430 and the second mounting component 440 are easy to assemble and disassemble, and the installation angle is easy to adjust. In addition, it is also convenient to upgrade and modify existing bottle unscramblers.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the first mounting member 430 and the second mounting member 440 may also be mounted on the turntable 410 in other ways. For example, the first mounting member 430 and the second mounting member 440 may be directly threaded to the turntable 410, thereby allowing the first mounting member 430 and the second mounting member 440 to rotate and adjust their mounting angle.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5According to some embodiments of the present invention, a bottle pusher plate 510 is provided in the material discharge trough 450, and a second driving mechanism 520 is provided between the bottle pusher plate 510 and the turntable 410. When the material discharge trough 450 rotates from the discharge mechanism 300 to the shaving device 200, the second driving mechanism 520 can drive the bottle pusher plate 510 to first slide away from the side wall of the inner cavity 110 and then slide closer to the side wall of the inner cavity 110. Therefore, during the rotation of the discharge trough 450 from the discharge mechanism 300 to the shaving device 200, the bottle pusher 510 can first slide away from the side wall of the inner cavity 110 to increase the effective length of the discharge trough 450, thereby allowing beverage bottles to enter the discharge trough 450. Then, the bottle pusher 510 slides closer to the side wall of the inner cavity 110 to push the beverage bottles toward the side wall of the inner cavity 110. On the one hand, this can make the beverage bottles with their mouths facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 more effectively press against the side wall of the inner cavity 110, and make the beverage bottles with their bottoms facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 lifted to a greater height under the action of the bottle bottom lifting member 230. On the other hand, when the discharge trough 450 is transferred to the discharge mechanism 300, the bottle pusher 510 can push the beverage bottles in the discharge trough 450 into the discharge mechanism 300.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this utility model, a mounting cavity 412 is provided at the lower end of the turntable 410. The second driving mechanism 520 includes a driving rail 521 and a guide rod 522 connected to the bottle pusher plate 510. The driving rail 521 is disposed in the mounting cavity 412, and the guide rod 522 is slidably inserted through the inner wall of the mounting cavity 412. A limiting plate 523 is installed at the end of the guide rod 522 away from the bottle pusher plate 510. A pulley 524 is rotatably mounted on the limiting plate 523. The bottle pusher plate 510 and the turntable 410 are connected. A return spring 525 is provided between 10. The return spring 525 is used to drive the bottle pusher plate 510 to slide close to the side wall of the inner cavity 110. The drive rail 521 is curved and the pulley 524 can roll along the drive rail 521. When the discharge chute 450 rotates from the discharge mechanism 300 to the shaving device 200, the bottle pusher plate 510 can slide away from the side wall of the inner cavity 110 and then slide close to the side wall of the inner cavity 110 in cooperation with the drive rail 521 and the return spring 525.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the end of the drive rail 521 near the discharge mechanism 300 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. A rotation adjustment device 530 is provided between the drive rail 521 and the housing 100. The rotation adjustment device 530 is used to drive the drive rail 521 to rotate horizontally. Thus, the distance between the drive rail 521 and the side wall of the inner cavity 110 can be adjusted by rotating the drive rail 521 through the rotation adjustment device 530, thereby changing the maximum travel distance between the bottle pusher plate 510 and the side wall of the inner cavity 110. Thus, the bottle handling needs of beverage bottles of various heights can be met.

[0045] It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the shaving device 200 may also include an elastic ejector disposed on the bottle pusher plate 510. The elastic ejector turntable 410 is radially disposed, and the side of the elastic ejector facing away from the bottle pusher plate 510 has a vertical surface and an inclined surface. Thus, for a beverage bottle with its bottom facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 and its mouth facing the bottle pusher plate 510, the vertical surface of the elastic ejector can press against the inclined bottle wall around the mouth of the beverage bottle, thereby working with the flexible component to eject the entire beverage bottle with its bottom facing the side wall of the inner cavity 110 out of the discharge chute 450. In this case, the impeller 220 or the blowing device may not be necessary. When processing beverage bottles of different sizes, the inclined surface on the elastic ejector can prevent the vertical surface from being directly attached to the mouth of the beverage bottle.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the side wall of the inner cavity 110 is provided with a bottle-flipping structure 130, which is used to flip beverage bottles that are in a horizontal position to a vertical position. A baffle mechanism 600 is provided inside the inner cavity 110 to prevent beverage bottles on the turntable 410 from entering the bottle-flipping structure 130 or the discharge mechanism 300. Thus, the bottle unscrambler can first flip the horizontally placed beverage bottles to a vertical position using the bottle-flipping mechanism and then output them through the discharge mechanism 300. The baffle mechanism 600 can prevent beverage bottles on the turntable 410 from entering the bottle-flipping structure 130 or the discharge mechanism 300.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottle-flipping structure 130 includes an anti-drop cap 131, a bottle-flipping channel 132, and a feeding channel 133. The bottle-flipping channel 132 is inclined relative to the vertical direction. The lower end of the bottle-flipping channel 132 is connected to the feeding channel 133. The lower side wall of the feeding channel 133 is horizontally arranged and lower than the upper surface of the support plate 120. The anti-drop cap 131 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 100 and covers the bottle-flipping channel 132. Therefore, during the operation of the bottle unscrambler, under the action of the bottle pusher 510 and centrifugal force, the bottle neck of the beverage bottle in the discharge chute 450 is first inserted into the feed chute 133. Then, as the turntable 410 rotates, the lower side wall of the bottle flipping channel 132 gradually lifts the bottle neck, while the bottle pusher 510 pushes the bottom of the beverage bottle against the side wall of the inner cavity 110. Thus, the beverage bottle can be flipped. During the flipping process, the anti-drop cap 131 can prevent certain types of beverage bottles from falling out of the discharge chute 450 from the bottle flipping channel 132. After the beverage bottle is flipped, under the action of centrifugal force or the bottle pusher 510, the beverage bottle can be pressed against the side wall of the inner cavity 110. When the beverage bottle reaches the discharge mechanism 300, under the action of centrifugal force or the bottle pusher 510, the beverage bottle can enter the discharge mechanism 300.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The baffle mechanism 600 includes a baffle plate 610 and a fan 620. The fan 620 is installed on the upper surface of the baffle plate 610. The baffle plate 610 is installed on the housing 100. The baffle plate 610 covers the area of ​​the turntable 410 corresponding to the bottle-flipping structure 130 and the discharge mechanism 300. The fan 620 is used to send air into the turntable 410 to form an invisible air wall, thereby blowing beverage bottles that are about to enter the area below the baffle plate 610 back onto the turntable 410.

[0049] It is conceivable that the above-mentioned bottle-flipping structure 130 can also adopt other configuration methods. For example, the bottle-flipping structure 130 may include a bottle-flipping rail located in the clearance gap 111. The bottle-flipping rail is spirally arranged, thereby the bottle-flipping rail can replace the above-mentioned bottle-flipping channel 132, and the side wall of the inner cavity 110 is equivalent to the above-mentioned anti-drop cap 131.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 In practical implementation, the discharging mechanism 300 has a discharging track, which can be formed by components such as a baffle plate 610 and a baffle guardrail. Since the bottle unscrambler is equipped with a bottle pusher plate 510, the beverage bottles can obtain sufficient driving force to move within the discharging track. Of course, if the bottle unscrambler is not equipped with a bottle pusher plate 510, the discharging mechanism 300 can be equipped with a conveyor belt, conveyor rollers, or other conveying devices to drive the beverage bottles to move within the discharging track.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
