Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging bottle conveying technology, and specifically relates to an automatic packaging bottle conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern packaging manufacturing, automated bottle transport is a crucial link in bottling lines, and its stability and efficiency directly impact the quality and capacity of the entire production process. A typical bottling line consists of two adjacent conveyor belts, one slightly faster than the other. The faster conveyor belt in the front section quickly transports empty bottles from the storage or loading area to the vicinity of the filling area. This reduces the time spent on initial bottle transport, improving the overall production pace. For example, in large-scale beverage bottling, a large number of empty bottles may need to be transported every second. The fast front conveyor belt ensures a timely supply of enough empty bottles to the filling stage, while the slower rear conveyor belt allows the bottles to slow down appropriately as they approach the filling position, better matching the filling speed of the equipment and ensuring a smooth filling process, avoiding production delays caused by bottle accumulation.
[0003] However, bottles gain significant inertia on fast conveyor belts. When they suddenly enter a slow conveyor belt, the bottom speed decreases, but the bottle continues to tilt forward due to inertia. This shifts the bottle's center of gravity, causing the bottle to tip over, thus affecting the efficiency of bottle filling. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic packaging bottle conveying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides an automatic bottle conveying device, including a high-speed conveyor belt for rapidly transporting empty bottles from the loading area to the vicinity of the filling area; a slow-speed conveyor belt, located after the end of the high-speed conveyor belt, for decelerating the empty bottles as they approach the filling position, matching the filling speed of the filling equipment; and a buffer channel located between the end of the high-speed conveyor belt and the beginning of the slow-speed conveyor belt, which achieves a smooth transition from the high-speed to the slow-speed conveyor belt through speed gradient control; and a deceleration component installed on the inner wall of the buffer channel, arranged along the direction of the buffer channel, the deceleration component making rolling contact with the outer wall of the empty bottles to assist the empty bottles in passing through the buffer channel stably.
[0006] Preferably, the deceleration assembly includes: multiple hangers symmetrically distributed on both sides of the buffer channel and movably connected to the buffer channel; and an auxiliary component rotatably connected to the hangers for converting the sliding friction between the empty packaging bottle and the inner side wall of the buffer channel into rolling friction with the auxiliary component.
[0007] Preferably, the boom and the buffer channel are connected by an adjustment assembly, which is used to adjust the distance between the auxiliary components on both sides of the buffer channel according to the size of the empty packaging bottle.
[0008] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes: two support plates, respectively located at the top of both sides of the buffer channel, for connecting and fixing multiple hangers located on one side of the buffer channel; a driving component for driving the support plates and the hangers to move to adjust the distance between the auxiliary components on both sides of the buffer channel; and a limiting rod, fixedly connected to the outer wall of the buffer channel and slidably connected to the support plate to provide guidance and limiting for the support plate.
[0009] Preferably, the shape of the buffer channel includes, but is not limited to, V-shape, trapezoid, U-shape or arc shape.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a steering assembly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the buffer channel. The steering assembly is located on the side of the deceleration assembly away from the slow conveyor belt. The steering assembly includes a steering plate installed on one side of the buffer channel and having a steering protrusion, and an assist plate disposed opposite to the steering plate and used to reduce the space between the steering plate and the buffer channel to assist the steering of the empty packaging bottle.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a buffer channel and using speed gradient control, a smooth transition from the fast conveyor belt to the slow conveyor belt is achieved, avoiding problems such as collisions and tipping that may occur when empty packaging bottles change speed suddenly, thus improving the efficiency and quality of packaging production.
[0012] The deceleration component further enhances the stability of the packaging bottle within the buffer channel. The deceleration component rolls in contact with the outer wall of the empty packaging bottle, which helps the empty packaging bottle pass through the buffer channel stably, preventing it from shaking or deviating from the track during deceleration. This ensures that the packaging bottle can accurately enter the filling area, improving the reliability and stability of the entire transmission device. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.
[0020] This utility model relates to an existing automatic bottle conveying device, which mainly includes a fast conveyor belt 1 and a slow conveyor belt 2. The fast conveyor belt 1 is used to quickly transport empty bottles from the loading area to the vicinity of the filling area. The slow conveyor belt 2 is located after the end of the fast conveyor belt 1 and is used to slow down the empty bottles as they approach the filling position, matching the filling speed of the filling equipment 3. When conveying empty bottles, workers transport the empty bottles to the loading area and place them sequentially on the fast conveyor belt 1. As the fast conveyor belt 1 conveys the bottles to the filling area, they need to transition to the slow conveyor belt 2 before reaching the filling equipment 3, so that the conveying speed of the empty bottles matches the filling speed of the filling equipment 3. The above is an introduction to the existing automatic bottle conveying device.
[0021] As can be seen from the above, the existing automatic conveyor belts for packaging bottles have the following defects when in use: there is no corresponding buffer device between the fast conveyor belt 1 and the slow conveyor belt 2 in the existing technology. Because the bottles will gain a lot of inertia on the fast conveyor belt 1, when they suddenly enter the slow conveyor belt 2, the bottom speed decreases, but the bottle body continues to tilt forward due to inertia, the center of gravity of the bottle body shifts, causing the bottle to tip over, thereby affecting the efficiency of packaging bottle filling. Based on the above problems, the present invention adopts the following improvement method to solve them.
[0022] like Figure 1-5As shown, an automatic bottle conveying device, based on existing technology, adds a buffer channel 4 between the end of the fast conveyor belt 1 and the beginning of the slow conveyor belt 2. The bottom of the buffer channel 4 is fixed to the frame of the fast conveyor belt 1, and there are gaps between the bottom wall of the buffer channel 4 and the surfaces of the fast and slow conveyor belts 1 and 2 to avoid affecting the stability of the buffer channel 4. The buffer channel 4 can be set in a V-shape, trapezoid, U-shape, or arc shape, etc. If a V-shaped design is adopted, it consists of two oppositely arranged inclined surfaces, forming a gradually narrowing and parallel channel, so that the empty packaging bottles form a speed gradient (e.g., from 3m / s→2m / s→1m / s→0.8m / s) when passing through the buffer channel 4, which is suitable for standard PET bottles, glass bottles, etc., where space is tight and the deceleration efficiency is high. If the buffer channel 4 is designed as a trapezoidal buffer channel, with a wide inlet and a narrow outlet, and parallel or slightly inclined side walls, it is suitable for irregularly shaped bottles (such as square bottles and slender bottles). Lateral support provides greater stability and reduces the risk of jamming. If designed as a U-shaped buffer channel 4, with both side walls narrowing in an arc shape, it is suitable for high-speed production lines conveying 100+ bottles per second; the arc design reduces impact and provides a smooth transition. If designed as an arc-shaped buffer channel 4, with one or both side walls being continuous curves, it is suitable for lightweight bottles (such as plastic bottles); the curve design reduces noise and extends equipment life. In this embodiment, a V-shaped buffer channel 4 design is used. Deceleration components 5 are arranged opposite each other on the inner walls of both sides of the V-shaped buffer channel 4. Each deceleration component 5 includes multiple symmetrically distributed rods 6 on both side walls of the buffer channel 4 and auxiliary components 7 rotatably connected to the rods 6. The auxiliary components 7 can be composed of multiple pulleys, rollers, or other components (pulleys are suitable for standard bottle types and low-to-medium speed production lines, rollers are suitable for heavy bottles and large packaging; selection can be based on implementation requirements). Pulleys and rollers can be made of nylon or rubber, and each rod 6... Multiple pulleys or rollers are installed at both the upper and lower parts, allowing simultaneous contact with the upper and lower parts of the empty packaging bottle. The rolling friction between the empty packaging bottle and auxiliary component 7 replaces the sliding friction between the empty packaging bottle and the sidewall of the buffer channel 4, further reducing resistance. Furthermore, the rolling direction of auxiliary component 7 is consistent with the bottle's movement direction, providing auxiliary guidance and preventing the bottle from deviating from its trajectory. When used in conjunction with the deceleration component 5, the buffer channel 4 allows the empty packaging bottle to smoothly transition from the fast conveyor belt 1 to the slow conveyor belt 2. The buffer channel 4 is the core structure for speed gradient control, achieving smooth speed transition and inertial impact absorption through spatial design. The inner wall pulleys are key components for friction optimization, reducing resistance and improving stability and durability through rolling friction. Specifically, for example, when an empty bottle enters the slow conveyor belt from the fast conveyor belt, without the buffer channel 4 and pulleys, the bottle tipping rate could be as high as 15%. With the buffer channel 4 and pulleys, the tipping rate drops to 0.8%; For example, in a high-speed production line of 50 bottles per second, bottles may jam due to sudden speed changes. After adopting a buffer channel with 4 pulleys, the jamming rate dropped from 8% to 1%, and maintenance costs were reduced by 30%. The synergistic effect of these two measures significantly improves the stability and efficiency of the production line while reducing maintenance costs.
[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, due to the different sizes of the packaging bottles, the lifting rods 6 and the buffer channel 4 are connected by an adjusting assembly. This adjusting assembly is used to adjust the distance between the auxiliary parts 7 on both sides of the buffer channel 4 according to the size of the empty packaging bottle. The adjusting assembly mainly includes two support plates 8 set at the top of both sides of the buffer channel 4. The support plates 8 are used to connect and fix multiple lifting rods 6 located on one side of the buffer channel 4, a driving component 9 for driving the support plates 8 and the lifting rods 6 to move to adjust the distance between the auxiliary parts 7 on both sides of the buffer channel 4, and a limiting rod 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the buffer channel 4 and slidably connected to the support plates 8 to provide guidance and limiting function for the support plates 8. Figure 5As shown, the driving component 9 can be an electric telescopic rod, or other driving components 9, such as a motor screw. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two auxiliary components 7, the driving component 9 drives the support plate 8 to move away from or towards the buffer channel 4, thereby causing the hanging rod 6 and the auxiliary component 7 to move towards or away from the buffer channel 4, thus expanding or shrinking the distance between the two auxiliary components 7 to accommodate packaging bottles of different sizes. During the process of the driving component 9 driving the support plate 8 to move, the limiting rod 10 can ensure that the support plate 8 moves along the predetermined direction to avoid deviation or shaking. If it is an irregularly shaped packaging bottle, some filling methods, such as negative pressure filling, require the bottle to be filled in a specific direction. The steering component 11 of the irregularly shaped bottle can adjust the bottle to the correct direction according to the requirements of the filling process to ensure the smooth progress of the filling process. The steering component 11 is located on the side of the deceleration component 5 away from the slow conveyor belt 2, including a steering plate 13 installed on the side of the buffer channel 4 and having a steering protrusion 12, and An assist plate 14 is arranged opposite to the turning plate 13 and is used to reduce the space between the turning plate 13 and the buffer channel 4 to assist the turning of empty packaging bottles. The turning protrusion 12 has an arc-shaped cross-section to facilitate the passage of packaging bottles. For example, when turning a flat rectangular bottle, if the side of the flat rectangular bottle facing the filling equipment 3 is a square wide side, when passing through the turning plate 13, the turning protrusion 12 on the turning plate 13 will flip the square wide side of the flat rectangular bottle so that the square narrow side of the flat rectangular bottle faces the filling equipment 3. At the same time, the distance between the turning plate 13 and the assist plate 14 is less than the width of the wide side of the flat rectangular bottle and slightly greater than the width of the square narrow side after the flat rectangular bottle is turned. The distance between the two auxiliary parts 7 is also just adapted to the width of the square narrow side after the flat rectangular bottle is turned. For example, if the square narrow side of the flat rectangular bottle is 0.5 meters after the flat rectangular bottle is turned, the distance between the two auxiliary parts 7 is about 0.499 meters. When conveying the packaging bottle, it needs to be aligned with the center of the conveyor belt. When it is conveyed to the buffer channel 4, it can naturally pass smoothly through the turning assembly 11 and turn smoothly.
