Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cartoning machine technology, and more specifically, relates to a bottle feeding device for a cartoning machine. Background Technology

[0002] The bottle feeding device of the cartoning machine pushes the bottles, arranged in sequence, one by one into the packaging box conveyor, allowing the bottles to enter the packaging box.

[0003] Patent 202222216325.6 discloses a cartoning machine, including a product conveying mechanism, a folding mechanism for folding instruction manuals, a cartoning machine body, and a pushing and feeding mechanism located at the junction of the product conveying mechanism and the cartoning machine body. It also includes at least two rows of parallel bottle-feeding tracks, with a bottle-separating grid between adjacent rows of the bottle-feeding tracks. The bottle-feeding tracks are connected to the end of the product conveying mechanism away from the pushing and feeding mechanism. The product conveying mechanism is equipped with multiple sets of baffle assemblies, each baffle assembly including two baffles forming a hopper between them. The bottle-feeding tracks are located on the side of the hopper. The product conveying mechanism includes two rows of parallel conveyor chains, and the baffles are fixed to the conveyor chains.

[0004] In the aforementioned cartoning machine, two conveyor chains are used to transport the baffles. The two baffles of the baffle assembly are respectively set on the two conveyor chains, so that the spacing of the baffle assembly is adjustable, thereby making the hopper more adaptable.

[0005] However, in this structure, the baffles span two conveyor chains, making the hopper a through-hole with consistent front and back dimensions. The bottles in the cartoning machine are placed vertically, so the requirements for the hopper are not high. However, some bottles need to be placed horizontally and pushed into the packaging box. Since the bottles have a head and a tail, if the hopper has consistent front and back dimensions, the orientation of the head and tail of the bottles cannot be restricted in the hopper, which can easily lead to the bottles being placed upside down in the packaging box.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the 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 are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0031] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, a bottle feeding device for a cartoning machine includes a conveying unit 1 and a pushing unit 2;

[0033] The conveying unit 1 includes a first conveyor belt 11, a second conveyor belt 12 and a plurality of positioning components 13, wherein the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12 are arranged side by side;

[0034] The positioning component 13 includes a first baffle 131 and a second baffle 132. The first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 form a positioning station for positioning the bottle. The first baffle 131 is used to position the bottle body, and the second baffle 132 is used to position the bottle head. The first baffle 131 is fixed on the first conveyor belt 11, and the second baffle 132 is fixed on the second conveyor belt 12.

[0035] This application is for horizontally placed bottles, where the outer diameter of the bottle head is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle body. The positioning component 13 is optimized in this way. The first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 respectively position the bottle at different positions. Only when the bottle is placed in the correct direction can the bottle head and the bottle body cooperate with the corresponding baffles respectively. In this way, the first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 can restrict the position of the bottle and maintain the posture of the bottle.

[0036] The direction in which the first conveyor belt 11 is away from the second conveyor belt 12 is the first direction. The pushing unit 2 pushes the bottle in the positioning station out along the first direction, and then pushes the bottle into the packaging box.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first baffle 131 is higher than the second baffle 132. Since the outer diameter of the bottle head is small, the height of the second baffle 132 can be lower. Furthermore, when pushing the bottle, the second baffle 132 will not obstruct the pushing action of the pushing unit 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the length of the first baffle 131 in the first direction is less than or equal to the width of the first conveyor belt 11, and the length of the second baffle 132 in the first direction is less than or equal to the width of the second conveyor belt 12, so that neither the first baffle 131 nor the second baffle 132 crosses the corresponding conveyor belt, ensuring that the bottles will not interfere when placed correctly.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pushing unit 2 includes a mounting plate 21, on which a push rod 22 that can slide along a first direction and a first driving assembly 23 are provided;

[0040] The first drive assembly 23 drives the push rod 22 to move in a first direction so that the push rod 22 pushes the bottle into the packaging box.

[0041] Specifically, the first drive assembly 23 includes a first motor 231 and a synchronous belt mechanism 232. The synchronous belt mechanism 232 includes multiple synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt. The synchronous belt drives and connects each synchronous pulley. At least one section of the synchronous belt is horizontal and parallel to the first direction. This horizontal section is connected to the push rod 22. The first motor 231 drives one of the synchronous pulleys to rotate, thereby causing the synchronous belt to move. The synchronous belt can then drive the push rod 22 to move horizontally.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 21 is provided with a liftable pressure rod 24 and a second drive assembly 25;

[0043] The second drive assembly 25 drives the pressure rod 24 to rise and fall, so that the pressure rod 24 presses the packaging box. Before pushing the bottle, the pressure rod 24 can press the packaging box slightly to deform the packaging box, so that the opening of the packaging box can be slightly larger to facilitate the subsequent pushing of the bottle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second drive assembly 25 includes a second motor 251, a drive wheel 252, a driven wheel 253, and a connecting rod 254. The second motor 251 drives the drive wheel 252 to rotate, and the drive wheel 252 meshes with the driven wheel 253.

[0045] The pressure rod 24 slides up and down with the mounting plate 21. One end of the connecting rod 254 is hinged to the driven wheel 253 at a position other than the center. The other end of the connecting rod 254 is hinged to the pressure rod 24. The rotation of the driven wheel 253 drives the connecting rod 254 to rise and fall.

[0046] In this embodiment, the driving wheel 252 and the driven wheel 253 are both arranged on the same side of the mounting plate 21, and the synchronous belt mechanism 232 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 21 facing away from the driving wheel 252. The two transmission structures are cleverly arranged on the mounting plate 21, so that the mounting plate 21 can support the operation of the two mechanisms at the same time.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
