TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to wine bottle conveying equipment technical field, concretely relates to a conveying device for supporting wine bottle body. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, wine bottle body will carry out label pasting, printing and the like operation before filling, and cleaning, drying, cooling and the other steps are the most important process that influences label pasting, printing quality. And cleaning, drying, cooling and the other production links usually adopt horizontal conveyor belt or vertical clamping conveying device to carry out transmission to bottle body.

[0003] The existing wine bottle body conveying device has the following defects, first, the stability of conveyor belt is poor, and wine bottle is prone to dump when laying flat due to vibration or speed change, especially on high-speed conveying line, the risk of bottle body collision is high, which influences production efficiency and product yield. Second, it is not conducive to control dry residual liquid, and the residual water stain in the wine bottle after cleaning is difficult to discharge, which may contaminate subsequent process. Third, clamping conveying has limitations, most clamping mechanisms are designed for specific bottle opening size, and the clamps need to be adjusted or replaced when changing bottle type, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and part of the device drives the bottle opening by pneumatic or electric drive, which needs additional power source and maintenance cost, and the clamping force may damage the bottle opening when too large. Fourth, the existing inverted conveying lacks drainage function, part of the inverted conveying device can fix the bottle body, but does not consider the discharge of bottle opening residual liquid, which leads to liquid drop pollution of conveying line.

[0004] Based on the significant deficiencies of current wine bottle conveying device in stability, bottle opening adaptability, drainage function and maintenance convenience, a wine bottle body conveying device is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model intends to provide a conveying device for supporting wine bottle body to solve the problems of poor stability and poor adaptability of the existing conveying device.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a conveying device for supporting wine bottle body, comprising a rack and a roller chain slidingly connected to the rack, the roller chain comprising a plurality of pins, the pins being perpendicular to the upper surface of the rack, further comprising a plurality of support seats arranged at intervals on the roller chain, the support seats each comprising a fixed part and a connecting part, the fixed part being connected to the top of the pin, the connecting part being detachably connected to the fixed part, the connecting part being in the shape of a circular truncated cone as a whole, and the surface of the connecting part being provided with a deformation layer.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the frustum-shaped connector can enter the mouths of bottles of different sizes, meaning that installing the same connector model can accommodate bottles of various sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of this conveying device; the spaced-apart support provides a gap between adjacent bottles on the roller chain to avoid collisions; and by using the frustum-shaped connector to support the inverted bottle mouth, not only can stable fixation be achieved, but the risk of damage to the bottle mouth from clamping can also be avoided; the deformation layer on the surface of the connector increases the stability of the connection between the bottle mouth and the connector, and also prevents residual water from entering the bottle body during the cleaning process by increasing the tightness of the connection, thus avoiding the need for additional cleaning or drying procedures; thereby solving the problems of poor stability and poor adaptability of existing conveying devices.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the pin is provided with multiple cylindrical sliders at intervals, and the diameter of the sliders is smaller than the diameter of the pin. The sliders are all parallel to the pin. The frame is provided with strip-shaped grooves, and the sliders are all slidably connected in the grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the frame is provided with an arc-shaped section, the upper surface of the arc-shaped section is provided with an arc-shaped groove, the arc-shaped groove is connected to the slide groove, and the slider can enter the arc-shaped groove.

[0010] Preferably, the oblique angle of the frustum-shaped connecting part is α, and 20° < α < 60°.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this solution are: it avoids the connection angle being too large or too small, and the bottle opening size range being too small, thereby further increasing the adaptability of the support base.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting part is provided with a connecting post, and the surface of the connecting post is provided with a snap-fit ​​block; the top of the fixing part is provided with a connecting groove and a snap-fit ​​groove communicating with the connecting groove, the connecting post is inserted into the connecting groove, and the snap-fit ​​block is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the connecting column and the snap-fit ​​block can fix the connecting part in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, avoid the connecting part from rotating during transportation, and realize quick installation and quick removal between the connecting part and the fixing part, which is convenient for operation.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the connecting part is connected to an anti-collision part, which can also deform.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the addition of anti-collision parts not only provides positioning so that the bottle can be inverted onto the support, but also prevents damage to the bottle mouth during the inverting operation.

[0016] Preferably, each end of the roller chain is engaged with a sprocket, and each sprocket is connected to a drive unit, with the arc-shaped segment coaxial with the sprocket.

[0017] Preferably, the connecting part is provided with a number of drainage grooves distributed circumferentially along the curved surface.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: after the bottle is upside down and supported on the connecting part, the residual water on the bottle flows downward and collects in the nearest drain groove. After dripping into the drain groove, it can be separated from the bottle, reducing the accumulation of residual water at the upside-down bottle mouth, which facilitates the next step of air drying or drying, and further improves the production efficiency of this conveying device.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the support base in Embodiment 1 of this utility model;

[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the support base in Embodiment 2 of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: frame 1, arc segment 11, slide groove 12, roller chain 2, pin 21, slider 22, sprocket 3, support base 4, fixing part 41, connecting part 42, water leakage groove 421, snap-fit ​​block 43, and anti-collision part 44.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Example 1 is basically as shown in the appendix. Figures 1-2 As shown, Figure 1 The illustrated conveying device for supporting wine bottles includes a frame 1 and a roller chain 2 slidably connected to the frame 1. The roller chain 2 includes several pins 21, and all pins 21 are perpendicular to the upper surface of the frame 1. The roller chain 2 is slidably connected in such a way that a sprocket 3 is engaged at each end of the roller chain 2, and the sprocket 3 is connected to a driving component to provide power for the conveying of the roller chain 2. In this embodiment, the driving component is a motor, and the motor drives the sprocket 3 to rotate, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, taking the right end of the frame 1 as an example, the roller chain 2 runs in the conveying device in a cyclic reciprocating motion. Therefore, the two frames 1 supporting the right end of the frame 1 are horizontal to each other. To ensure the stability of the roller chain 2, an arc-shaped section 11 is provided at the end of the frame 1. In this embodiment, since the two frames 1 on the right end are parallel, the arc-shaped section 11 is a semi-circular ring. The arc-shaped section 11 is coaxial with the sprocket 3, and an arc-shaped groove is provided on the upper surface of the arc-shaped section 11. The arc-shaped groove is connected to the slide groove 12, and the slider 22 can enter the arc-shaped groove.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes several support seats 4 spaced apart and connected to the roller chain 2, combined with Figure 2 As shown, each support base 4 includes a fixing part 41 and a connecting part 42. The fixing part 41 is also cylindrical and is welded to the top of the pin 21 at intervals. The fixing parts 41 are coaxial with the pins 21 to which they are connected. The connecting part 42 is frustum-shaped and is detachably connected to the fixing part 41. Specifically, a connecting post is fixed to the bottom of the connecting part 42, and a snap-fit ​​block 43 is fixed to the surface of the connecting post. A connecting groove and a snap-fit ​​groove communicating with the connecting groove are opened on the top of the fixing part 41. The connecting post is inserted into the connecting groove, and the snap-fit ​​block 43 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove. The connecting post and snap-fit ​​block 43 fix the connecting part 42 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, preventing rotation of the connecting part 42 during transport. This connection method allows for quick installation and disassembly of the connecting part 42 and the fixing part 41, facilitating operation. Additionally, threaded connections are also available as detachable connections, which will not be elaborated here.

[0028] By replacing the connecting parts 42 with different sizes, different types of wine bottles can be supported and fixed. When supporting and connecting the wine bottle, simply place the bottle neck onto the frustum-shaped connecting part 42 to connect the bottle upside down to the support base 4. The frustum-shaped connecting part 42 can fit into the necks of wine bottles of different sizes; that is, installing the same type of connecting part 42 can accommodate wine bottles of various neck sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of this conveying device and meeting more production needs. Simultaneously, a deformation layer, specifically a rubber layer, is bonded and fixed to the surface of the connecting part 42. By setting the deformation layer, rigid contact between the connecting part 42 and the bottle body is avoided, preventing damage to the bottle. At the same time, the deformation layer increases the stability of the connection between the connecting part 42 and the bottle neck, reducing relative rotation between the bottle body and the connecting part 42, thereby improving the operational stability of this conveying device.

[0029] In this embodiment, the angle of the frustum-shaped connecting part 42 is α, and 20° < α < 60°, to avoid the connecting part 42 having an excessively large or small angle that would result in a bottle opening size range that is too small, thereby further increasing the adaptability of the support base 4. Additionally, as... Figure 2As shown, a cylindrical anti-collision part 44 is also fixedly connected to the top of the connecting part 42. The anti-collision part 44 can also deform, and the diameter of the anti-collision part 44 is the same as the diameter of the top of the connecting part 42. The addition of the anti-collision part 44 can not only position the bottle so that it can be inverted on the support base 4, but also prevent damage to the bottle mouth during the inverting operation.

[0030] When the bottle body is inverted and supported, the connecting part 42 is inserted into the bottle mouth under the weight of the bottle itself, so as to achieve fixed support for the bottle (if the weight of the bottle is relatively light, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the bottle body and the support base 4 after inverting and fixing, the operator can manually press down the bottle). After being fixed, the bottle is sent into different processing units along with the support base 4.

[0031] The fixed-spaced support base 4 provides a space between two adjacent bottles on the roller chain 2 to avoid collisions. By using the frustum-shaped connecting part 42 to support the bottle mouth of the inverted bottle, not only can it be stably fixed, but it can also avoid the risk of damage to the bottle mouth caused by the clamp. The deformation layer on the surface of the connecting part 42 increases the stability of the connection between the bottle mouth and the connecting part 42, and can also prevent residual water from entering the bottle body during the cleaning process by increasing the tightness of the connection with the bottle mouth, thus avoiding the need for additional cleaning or drying procedures.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 3 The conveying device shown is for supporting the body of a wine bottle. Unlike embodiment 1, the connecting part 42 is provided with a plurality of drainage grooves 421 distributed circumferentially along the curved surface.

[0034] In this embodiment, the drainage channels 421 are all elongated. After the cleaning process, there will be residual water on the outer wall of the bottle. After the bottle is upside down and supported on the connecting part 42, the residual water on the bottle flows downward and collects in the nearest drainage channel 421. After dripping into the drainage channel 421, it can be separated from the bottle, which reduces the accumulation of residual water at the upside-down bottle mouth, making it easier for the next step of air drying or drying, and further improving the production efficiency of this conveying device.

[0035] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model.
