Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product positioning technology, and in particular to a bottle holder blocking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In automated packaging production lines, precise blocking and positioning mechanisms are typically required for the conveying, positioning, and subsequent gripping and boxing operations of bottled products. Traditional blocking mechanisms often use fixed baffles, but in scenarios involving bottles with base trays, it's difficult to ensure unobstructed passage of the base tray after product gripping. Existing technology also describes a bottle-blocking mechanism (application number CN202321531983.2) including a conveyor belt, a cylinder positioned above the conveyor belt, and a baffle. The baffle blocks glass bottles on the conveyor belt. The cylinder includes a cylinder body, a piston slidably disposed within the cylinder body, and a piston rod connected to the piston. The cylinder body is equipped with... The cylinder has an upper and a lower air valve. The upper air valve connects to the upper end of the cylinder's internal cavity, and the lower air valve connects to the lower end of the cylinder's internal cavity. The lower end of the piston rod extends below the cylinder and connects to the baffle. The upper air valve is connected to the external atmosphere, and the lower air valve is connected to an external high-pressure air source via a solenoid three-way valve. Two ends of the solenoid three-way valve are connected to the lower air valve and the high-pressure air source, respectively, and the third end is connected to the external atmosphere. This design avoids situations where a person's hand is trapped under the baffle and is unable to escape, thus improving safety.

[0003] Although the prior art solves the technical problems of traditional blocking mechanisms, it is only applicable to blocking and positioning of single-channel bottle conveying and boxing. However, for the conveying and boxing of bottles in multi-row single-channel conveying equipment, the partitions between the conveying channels will prevent the baffles from moving into the channels, thus making it impossible to block and position the bottles or bottle holders. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a bottle holder blocking mechanism, comprising:

[0005] Power unit;

[0006] The tilting plate is driven by a power device to rotate 90°.

[0007] The baffle is provided in at least one set, and the at least one set of the baffle is set for multiple single-channel conveying channels. The at least one set of the baffle is installed on the flip plate by a connecting rod. The baffle rotates together with the flip plate so that the baffle is kept in the release state or the bottle blocking state.

[0008] The baffle includes a blocking part, which is located in the conveying channel of the multi-column single-channel conveyor when the baffle is in the bottle-blocking state.

[0009] This utility model is applicable to the bottle blocking and positioning of multi-row single-channel conveyors. Multiple sets of baffles are installed on the flip plate by connecting rods. The power device drives the flip plate to rotate 90°, causing the blocking part to rotate into the corresponding conveying channel to form a bottle body and bottle holder. After gripping, it is immediately switched to the horizontal release state to allow the bottom holder to pass.

[0010] Furthermore, the baffle and the connecting rod maintain relative rotation, and the blocking mechanism also includes a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod, which are installed parallel to each other on the flip plate;

[0011] The baffle also includes a limiting part that is set at a preset angle to the blocking part, and the limiting part is disposed between the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod.

[0012] When the bottle touches the baffle, it causes the baffle to rotate slightly, converting the instantaneous impact force into rotational kinetic energy and reducing the load on the connecting rod. When the bottle pushes the blocking part, the limiting part contacts the first limiting rod to form a positive stop, preventing overtravel deflection. After the flipping plate drives the baffle to rotate 90°, the limiting part contacts the second limiting rod to form a reverse stop, preventing the baffle from sagging.

[0013] Furthermore, a waist-shaped hole is provided at the connection between the flip plate and the connecting rod, the first limiting rod, and the second limiting rod, and the connecting rod, the first limiting rod, and the second limiting rod are fixed in the waist-shaped hole by locking components.

[0014] The oblong hole provides radial position adjustment freedom for the connecting rod, the first limiting rod, and the second limiting rod, enabling fine adjustment of their positions.

[0015] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor is also installed on the flip plate.

[0016] The sensor can detect the baffle's position, the bottle's position, and / or the bottle's passage, thereby generating corresponding signal feedback. The gripping equipment, conveying equipment, and other equipment can then coordinate and operate accordingly based on this signal feedback.

[0017] Furthermore, the power unit is selected as a cylinder, which is connected to the tilting plate via a crank.

[0018] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] This utility model is applicable to the bottle blocking and positioning of multi-row single-channel conveyors. Multiple sets of baffles are installed on the flip plate by connecting rods. The power device drives the flip plate to rotate 90°, causing the blocking part to rotate into the corresponding conveying channel to form a bottle body and bottle holder. After gripping, it is immediately switched to the horizontal release state to allow the bottom holder to pass. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0024] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0025] As described in the background section, the existing technology is only suitable for blocking and positioning of single-channel bottle conveying and boxing. However, for the conveying and boxing of bottles in multi-column single-channel conveying equipment, the partitions between the conveying channels will prevent the baffles from moving into the channels, thus making it impossible to achieve blocking and positioning of the bottle or bottle holder.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a bottle holder blocking mechanism, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the blocking mechanism is installed at a preset position in a multi-column single-channel conveyor, and includes:

[0028] Power unit 1;

[0029] The tilting plate 5 is driven by a power device to rotate 90°.

[0030] Baffle 7, which is provided with at least one set of baffles, and the at least one set of baffles is set for multiple single-channel conveying channels. The at least one set of baffles is installed on the flip plate by connecting rod 3. The baffles rotate together with the flip plate so that the baffles are kept in the release state or the bottle blocking state.

[0031] The baffle includes a blocking part 72. When the baffle is in the bottle-blocking state, the blocking part is located in the conveying channel of the multi-row single-channel conveyor.

[0032] In this embodiment, the blocking mechanism may further include a mounting frame 2, which is used to install the entire blocking mechanism at a preset position in the multi-column single-channel conveyor. The power unit is mounted on the mounting frame, and the tilting plate is rotatably connected to the mounting frame via a rotating shaft. The power unit may be a motor, with the motor's output shaft connected to the rotating shaft, so that the tilting plate can be rotated by starting the motor.

[0033] In this embodiment, the baffle and the connecting rod maintain relative rotation, and the blocking mechanism further includes a first limiting rod 6 and a second limiting rod 8, which are installed parallel to each other on the flip plate;

[0034] The baffle also includes a limiting part 71 that is set at a preset angle to the blocking part, and the limiting part is disposed between the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod.

[0035] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the limiting part of the baffle hangs down to the second limiting rod under its own weight. At this time, the blocking mechanism is in the bottle-blocking state. The bottle moves under the drive of the multi-row single-channel conveyor to push the blocking part of the baffle to rotate a certain angle. Due to the first limiting rod, the rotation angle of the baffle relative to the connecting rod is limited. In the bottle release state, the power device drives the flipping plate to rotate 90°. Due to the lower first limiting rod, the blocking part of the baffle will not hang down too much. In this state, bottles or bottle holders that do not need to be blocked can pass directly.

[0036] This embodiment is applicable to bottle blocking and positioning in multi-column single-channel conveying systems. Multiple sets of baffles are installed on a tilting plate via connecting rods. A power unit drives the tilting plate to rotate 90°, causing the blocking part to rotate and enter the corresponding conveying channel, forming a bottle with a bottle holder. After gripping, the system immediately switches to a horizontal release state to allow the bottom holder to pass. When the bottle touches the baffle, it causes a slight rotation, converting the instantaneous impact force into rotational kinetic energy, reducing the load on the connecting rod. When the bottle pushes the blocking component, the limiting part contacts the first limiting rod to form a positive stop, preventing overtravel deflection. After the tilting plate rotates the entire baffle by 90°, the limiting part contacts the second limiting rod to form a reverse stop, preventing the baffle from sagging.

[0037] In this embodiment, in addition to the motor mentioned above, the power unit can also be... Figure 1 The structure shown is that the power unit selects a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the crankshaft. Through the extension and retraction of the piston rod, the transmission with the connecting rod of the crankshaft drives the tilting plate to rotate.

[0038] For example, a waist-shaped hole 51 is provided at the connection between the flip plate and the connecting rod, the first limiting rod, and the second limiting rod. The connecting rod, the first limiting rod, and the second limiting rod are fixed in the waist-shaped hole by a locking member.

[0039] The oblong hole provides radial position adjustment freedom for the connecting rod, the first limiting rod, and the second limiting rod, enabling fine adjustment of their positions.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking element can be a screw.

[0041] For example, a photoelectric sensor is also installed on the flip plate.

[0042] The sensor can detect the baffle's position, the bottle's position, and / or the bottle's passage, thereby generating corresponding signal feedback. The gripping equipment, conveying equipment, and other equipment can then coordinate and operate accordingly based on this signal feedback.

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
