[0002] The production process of glass bottle mainly includes five stages of raw material preparation, melting, forming, annealing and post-processing. First, quartz sand, soda ash, limestone and other raw materials are mixed in proportion and sent into the melting furnace, and melted into glass liquid at a high temperature of 1500 DEG C or above. Then, the glass liquid enters the forming machine through the feeding channel, and is formed by blow-blow method or pressure-blow method: the glass liquid is first made into a rudiment, and then blown into the final shape; pressure-blow method is to press the bottle mouth with a mold first, and then blow the bottle body. The temperature of the formed glass bottle is about 500 DEG C, which needs to be sent into the annealing furnace for slow cooling to room temperature to eliminate internal stress and prevent breakage.
[0003] When the glass bottle is formed, the glass bottle is taken out from the mold by mechanical claw and placed at the bottle pushing mechanism, and the glass bottle is pushed to the conveying belt by the bottle pushing mechanism, and the glass bottle is transported to the next process. Since the glass bottle remains in the vertical state when being pushed, the current bottle pushing mechanism has the risk of causing the glass bottle to fall over when pushing the bottle. SUMMARY

[0034] Reference Figs. 1-4 This utility model proposes an anti-tipping bottle-opening mechanism, comprising:
[0035] A lever 100 has a fork 110, a push wall 120, the push wall 120 is curved and a rolling element 200 is rotatably connected to the push wall 120, and the rolling element 200 abuts against the glass bottle.
[0036] Connecting block 310, connecting block 310 is connected to dial block 100;
[0037] The base 320 is connected to the connecting block 310 via the connecting rod 330;
[0038] A drive device (not shown in the figure) is driven to connect the base 320 and the connecting rod 330. The drive device drives the base 320 to rotate and drives the connecting block 310 to extend and retract.
[0039] After the glass bottle is manufactured, a robotic gripper removes the bottle from the mold and places it in a predetermined position. The drive unit drives the linkage 330 to extend the pusher 100 to one side of the glass bottle, and the base 320 begins to rotate, thus pushing the glass bottle from the removal position to the conveyor belt. When the glass bottle reaches the predetermined position, the drive unit controls the pusher 100 to retract via the linkage 330, completing one bottle-pushing action. Since the glass bottle is prone to tipping over during the bottle-pushing process, the pusher wall 120 is designed to be curved (it should be noted that to avoid excessive bending that would cause the end of the pusher wall to touch the glass bottle when it detaches, the curvature of the pusher wall is relatively small), to provide a certain degree of protection for the glass bottle. In addition, the pusher wall 120 is equipped with a rolling element 200. During the bottle-pushing process, the rolling element 200 abuts against the glass bottle, counteracting any possible rotation of the glass bottle during movement, thereby reducing the risk of the glass bottle tipping over.
[0040] Specifically, an AC servo motor can be selected as the drive unit. AC servo motors are characterized by high control precision, fast response speed, and high stability. During the bottle-dispensing process of the bottle-dispensing mechanism, strict control is required for everything from the position of the dispensing block 100 before dispensing the bottle, the action of the dispensing block 100 detaching from the glass bottle after dispensing, to the dispensing speed during the dispensing process, in order to avoid any other impact on the glass bottle. An AC servo motor can meet the aforementioned requirements and accurately complete the bottle-dispensing action.
[0041] Furthermore, the bottle-dispensing mechanism is also equipped with an auxiliary barrier 400 to further reduce the possibility of the glass bottle tipping over.
[0042] During the bottle-pulling process, considering that the puller 100 can smoothly detach from the glass bottle after it reaches the predetermined position on the conveyor belt, the puller 100 only pushes the glass bottle from one side. Furthermore, during the pushing process, the glass bottle's trajectory is approximately circular, so the bottle will tend to move away from the puller 100 under centrifugal force. The puller 100 cannot obstruct the bottle in this direction. To prevent the glass bottle from detaching from the puller 100, an auxiliary barrier 400 is installed to limit the detachment tendency of the glass bottle, ensuring that the puller 100 can push the glass bottle to the predetermined position. In addition, the auxiliary barrier 400 also provides support to the contacted glass bottle, preventing it from tipping over.
[0043] Typically, after a glass bottle is removed from the mold, its temperature is around 500℃ during the pushing process, which is relatively high. Unlike the rolling element 200, the auxiliary barrier 400 does not frequently come into contact with the glass bottle. To prevent the auxiliary barrier 400 from being too cold under normal conditions and potentially causing the glass bottle to crack or deform upon contact with the high-temperature glass bottle, the auxiliary barrier 400 is designed with an inlet and an outlet. High-temperature media is injected into the auxiliary barrier 400 to reduce the temperature difference between it and the glass bottle.
[0044] Specifically, the main body of the auxiliary barrier 400 can be a U-shaped tube 410. Besides the U-shaped structure itself forming a U-shape, the U-shaped tube 410 needs to be bent a second time to conform to the movement trajectory of the fork tip 110 during bottle manipulation, providing more stable protection for the glass bottle. One end of the U-shaped tube 410 has an inlet, and the other end has an outlet. High-temperature media are injected through the inlet, and low-temperature media flow out through the outlet, ensuring temperature stability of the auxiliary barrier 400 through media circulation. Furthermore, a simple U-shaped structure has poor stability and may not provide sufficient support for the glass bottle. Therefore, a support tube 420 is provided to improve the structural strength of the auxiliary barrier 400. The support tube 420 is connected to the U-shaped tube 410, and the high-temperature media also flows through the support tube 420 to maintain its temperature. Specifically, the media can be a liquid or a gaseous medium, as long as it can maintain the temperature of the auxiliary barrier 400; no specific limitation is made here.
[0045] Because high-temperature glass bottles are relatively soft, if the pressure on a certain area of the glass bottle is too great during the pushing process, it will cause the glass bottle to deform. Therefore, the surface of the rolling element 200 is designed with a striped pattern, which has a large contact area with the glass bottle and can reduce the possibility of glass bottle deformation.
[0046] In addition, the friction between the rolling element 200 and the glass bottle and the durability of the rolling element 200 need to be considered. Silicone rubber is selected as the protective layer of the rolling element 200. Silicone rubber has a large friction force and good heat resistance, which can meet the requirements of pushing the glass bottle and will not cause failure due to the high temperature of the glass bottle. The silicone rubber protective layer is patterned with stripes.
[0047] In the glass bottle manufacturing process, various shapes of glass bottles are produced, such as round and square. To improve the versatility of this bottle-shifting mechanism, the connecting block 310 and the shifting block 100 are designed to be detachably connected, allowing for the replacement of shifting blocks 100 with different structures to adapt to glass bottles of different structures. Specifically, the connecting block 310 and the shifting block 100 can be connected by a threaded connection.
[0048] Furthermore, the bottle-dispensing mechanism also includes a connecting platform 500. Since there is a certain gap between the bottle-making machine and the conveyor belt, the connecting platform 500 is provided to fill this gap and prevent it from affecting the bottle-dispensing process. During the bottle-dispensing process, the bottle is fed onto the conveyor belt via the smooth bearing surface of the connecting platform 500. The bearing surface can be designed as a plane with low friction to avoid excessive friction on the bearing surface, which could cause the bottle to tip over during dispensing.
[0049] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
