[0011] Furthermore, the angle between the guide rod and the horizontal plane is 15-20°.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a slide rod, a screw rod, a movable frame, and a first motor; the slide rod and the screw rod are arranged parallel to the guide rod and are located above the guide rod.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a compressed air preform blockage cleaning device for a preform scavenger includes a side baffle 1, a guide rod 2, a frame 3, a partition 4, an air blowing assembly, a cleaning assembly, and a separating assembly;

[0033] There are two side baffles 1, which are arranged side by side; there are two vertically arranged partitions 4 between the two side baffles 1, which divide the space between the side baffles 1 into an air blowing chamber, a cleaning chamber and a partition chamber from right to left; there is a frame 3 on the outside of the two side baffles 1 for support.

[0034] Two guide rods 2 are provided between the two side baffles 1. The two guide rods 2 pass through the two partitions 4 in sequence and pass through the air blowing chamber, the cleaning chamber and the separation chamber. The two guide rods 2 are inclined downward from right to left. The two guide rods 2 are fixed on the partitions 4, and there is a gap between the two guide rods 2 for placing the preform 18. The preform can be clamped between the two guide rods and slide along the guide rods. The inclined arrangement of the guide rods is more conducive to the movement of the preform. The two partitions 4 are also provided with through holes 5 for only one preform 18 to pass through. This can prevent multiple preforms from passing through the through holes and entering the cleaning chamber and the separation chamber at the same time. If they accumulate in the air blowing chamber, they can be blown off by air blowing to avoid the accumulation of preforms in subsequent steps.

[0035] An air blowing pipe 17 is provided on the side wall of the air blowing chamber. The nozzle of the air blowing pipe 17 faces the guide rod 2. The air blowing pipe 17 is connected to the air pump.

[0036] The cleaning chamber includes a brush 10 and a drive mechanism. The brush 10 is perpendicular to the guide rod 2 and is positioned above the guide rod 2. The drive mechanism drives the brush 10 to reciprocate to clean and move the preform 18.

[0037] The partition chamber includes a limiting plate 13 and a pushing mechanism. The limiting plate 13 is vertically arranged and is perpendicular to the guide rod 2 and positioned above the guide rod 2. The pushing mechanism is used to drive the limiting plate 13 to move up and down to separate adjacent preforms 18.

[0038] The device comprises an air-blowing chamber, a cleaning chamber, and a separating chamber from right to left. Preforms are introduced into the device from the right side, first passing through the air-blowing chamber where the air-blowing component blows down any preforms that have accumulated, preventing further buildup. Next, preforms entering the cleaning chamber are slowed down by brushes, which also disperse the preforms and clean them. Finally, the preforms enter the separating chamber. When a preform is detected entering the separating chamber, a limiting plate drops, blocking further entry. The timing of the limiting plate's lifting can be set to control the distance between adjacent preforms, preventing further accumulation. This device improves the handling of preform accumulation and jamming during transport, increasing production efficiency.

[0039] For example, the angle between the guide rod 2 and the horizontal plane is 15-20°. The small slope facilitates the sliding of the preform while preventing the preform from sliding too fast.

[0040] For example, the driving mechanism includes a slide rod 6, a screw rod 7, a movable frame 9, and a first motor 8; the slide rod 6 and the screw rod 7 are arranged parallel to the guide rod 2 and are located above the guide rod 2. The screw rod 7 is driven to rotate by the first motor 8. The movable frame 9 is simultaneously arranged on the slide rod 6 and the screw rod 7. The movable frame 9 is slidably connected to the slide rod 6 and threadedly connected to the screw rod 7; the brush 10 is installed below the movable frame 9.

[0041] The screw is driven to rotate by the first motor, which is a reversible motor that can realize the forward and reverse rotation of the screw, thereby driving the moving frame to reciprocate and thus realize the movement of the bottle preform.

[0042] For example, the pushing mechanism includes a support frame 11 and a cylinder 12; the support frame 11 spans over two side baffles 1, the cylinder 12 is vertically mounted on the support frame 11, and the limiting plate 13 is connected to the lower end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 12.

[0043] Specifically, an infrared sensor is installed at the entrance of the partition chamber, and the infrared sensor is connected to cylinder 12. The infrared sensor can detect whether the preform has entered the partition chamber. If so, the cylinder is activated to push the limit plate downward to block the preform. The lifting time of the limit plate is set according to the preform interval.

[0044] For example, the lower end of the side baffle 1 is bent inward, so that the space enclosed by the two side baffles 1 gradually narrows from top to bottom, and the lower ends of the two side baffles 1 have gaps to facilitate the falling of the preform 18.

[0045] The side baffles act as a barrier to prevent preforms from scattering when they fall during the process.

[0046] For example, the guide rod 2 is located in the upper middle part between the two side baffles 1.

[0047] For example, a horizontally arranged conveyor belt 14 is provided below the side baffle 1, and the conveyor belt 14 is driven by a second motor 16.

[0048] The conveyor belt is used to catch the preforms falling from above and also to transport the falling preforms.

[0049] For example, baffles 15 are provided on both sides along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 14.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
