Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle production, and in particular to a corner guide device for glass bottles. Background Technology

[0002] When a large number of glass bottles are processed and ready to be sent to the next processing stage, they need to pass through a transfer area. The transfer area is used to temporarily store and regulate the flow of glass bottles before they are transported to the conveyor belt of the next processing stage. However, due to space limitations, the transfer from the transfer area to the conveyor belt needs to pass through a corner. When glass bottles suddenly enter the high-speed conveyor belt from the relatively stationary or low-speed transfer area, due to inertia and friction, it is difficult for the glass bottles to maintain a uniform distribution at the corner, which causes the glass bottles to easily pile up. This piling up phenomenon has multiple negative effects. First, the collision and squeezing between glass bottles increases significantly, which not only increases the risk of bottle breakage, but the piled-up bottles also hinder the normal operation of the conveyor belt, slow down the speed of the entire production process, and may even cause the production line to stop in severe cases.

[0003] To address the issue of bottle accumulation at corners, movable guide devices are typically installed at these corners. When glass bottles begin to accumulate, the guide device moves toward the conveyor belt, thus pulling the bottles away from the corner area. However, since the guide device is made of rigid material, it is prone to colliding with adjacent glass bottles when it moves, causing cracks or damage to the bottles and resulting in defective products. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a corner guide device for glass bottles. The purpose is to solve the technical problem that, since the guide device is made of a rigid material, it is easy to collide with adjacent glass bottles when the guide device is in motion, resulting in cracks or damage to the glass bottles and causing defective products.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A corner guiding device for glass bottles includes a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt at the top of the conveyor frame, a transfer seat on one side of the conveyor frame, a first limiting frame at the top of the transfer seat, and a second limiting frame at the top of the conveyor frame. One end of the first limiting frame extends to one end of the second limiting frame, and the first and second limiting frames surround a corner area. The device also includes a guide belt, which is deformable and located inside the corner area. One end of the guide belt has a fixed end fixed to one side of the first limiting frame, and the other end has a movable end that slides with one side of the second limiting frame. One side of the guide belt has a guide surface facing the conveyor belt.

[0007] When glass bottles accumulate in the corner area, the moving end moves towards the conveyor belt, thereby driving the guide surface to guide the glass bottles in the corner area to the conveyor belt. Since the guide belt is deformable, when the guide surface comes into contact with the glass bottle, the guide surface will undergo slight deformation, which will buffer the impact force and guide the glass bottle flexibly, greatly reducing the risk of glass bottle damage.

[0008] Furthermore, in this application, a movable plate is slidably connected to one side of the second limiting frame, a clamping spring is provided on one side of the movable plate, a clamping plate is provided at one end of the clamping spring, the clamping plate and the movable plate are separated to form a clamping interval, and the movable end is located inside the clamping interval.

[0009] When the batch of glass bottles changes, the size of the glass bottles also changes. By pulling the clamping plate, the clamping position of the fixed end is changed, so as to adjust the tension of the guide belt, making the guide belt tighter or looser. The adjustment of the tension allows the guide surface of the guide belt to better adapt to glass bottles of different sizes.

[0010] Furthermore, in this application, a movable cylinder is provided on the other side of the second limiting frame, a connecting groove is provided inside the second limiting frame, a movable block is provided at one end of the movable cylinder, and one end of the movable block passes through the connecting groove so that one end of the movable block is connected to the movable plate.

[0011] A movable cylinder is installed on the other side of the second limit frame, and the movable cylinder is connected to the movable plate through a connecting groove and a movable block, thereby achieving precise control of the position of the movable plate.

[0012] Furthermore, in this application, a guide groove is provided on one side of the second limiting frame, and a guide slider is provided on the other side of the movable plate, the guide slider slidingly engaging with the guide groove.

[0013] Furthermore, in this application, one side of the movable end is provided with a plurality of first fixed protrusions, the plurality of first fixed protrusions extending to the guide belt, and one side of the movable plate is provided with a second fixed protrusion, the second fixed protrusion being located inside the clamping interval, and the second fixed protrusion engaging with any of the first fixed protrusions.

[0014] Furthermore, in this application, two limiting plates are provided on one side of the clamping plate, and the two limiting plates are separated to form a limiting interval. The movable end is located inside the limiting interval. Two limiting slots are provided on one side of the movable plate, and the two limiting plates are respectively inserted into the two limiting slots.

[0015] Furthermore, in this application, a first mounting groove is provided on one side of the movable plate, and first latching protrusions are provided on both sides of the interior of the first mounting groove. The other end of the clamping spring is inserted into the first mounting groove, so that the first latching protrusions on both sides of the first mounting groove are engaged with the other end of the clamping spring. A second mounting groove is provided on one side of the clamping plate, and second latching protrusions are provided on both sides of the second mounting groove. One end of the clamping spring is inserted into the second mounting groove, so that the second latching protrusions on both sides of the second mounting groove are engaged with one end of the clamping spring.

[0016] Furthermore, in this application, the top of the transfer seat is provided with a transfer surface, and the top of the transfer seat is provided with a third limiting frame, with the first limiting frame and the third limiting frame respectively located on both sides of the transfer surface.

[0017] Furthermore, in this application, a fourth limiting frame is provided on the top of the conveyor frame, and the second limiting frame and the fourth limiting frame are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0018] Furthermore, in this application, a pull groove is provided on the other side of the clamping plate.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When glass bottles accumulate in the corner area, the moving end moves towards the conveyor belt, thereby driving the guide surface to guide the glass bottles in the corner area to the conveyor belt. Since the guide belt is deformable, when the guide surface comes into contact with the glass bottle, the guide surface will undergo slight deformation, which will buffer the impact force and guide the glass bottle flexibly, greatly reducing the risk of glass bottle damage.

[0031] On glass bottle production lines, the corner between the transfer area and the conveyor belt often becomes a bottleneck in bottle transportation. When a large number of glass bottles enter the high-speed conveyor belt from the relatively stationary or low-speed transfer area, due to inertia and friction, it is difficult for the bottles to maintain a uniform distribution at the corner. This causes the bottles to easily accumulate when passing through the corner, leading to a series of problems. First, the collision and compression between the accumulated bottles increase significantly, greatly increasing the risk of bottle breakage. Second, the accumulation hinders the normal operation of the conveyor belt, slows down the entire production process, and in severe cases, may even cause the production line to stop. This not only affects production efficiency but may also cause economic losses; if a rigid material guide device is used directly, it may lead to bottle breakage.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 In some specific embodiments, the corner guiding device for glass bottles includes a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 at the top of the conveyor frame 1, a transfer seat 3 on one side of the conveyor frame 1, a first limiting frame 4 at the top of the transfer seat 3, and a second limiting frame 5 at the top of the conveyor frame 1. One end of the first limiting frame 4 extends to one end of the second limiting frame 5, and the first limiting frame 4 and the second limiting frame 5 surround to form a corner area 30. The device also includes a guide belt 6, which is deformable and located inside the corner area 30. One end of the guide belt 6 is provided with a fixed end 7, which is fixed to one side of the first limiting frame 4. The other end of the guide belt 6 is provided with a movable end 8, which slides in cooperation with one side of the second limiting frame 5. One side of the guide belt 6 is provided with a guide surface 9, which faces the conveyor belt 2.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, when glass bottles accumulate in the corner area 30, the movable end 8 moves towards the conveyor belt 2, thereby driving the guide surface 9 to guide the glass bottles in the corner area 30 to the conveyor belt 2. Since the guide belt 6 is deformable, when the guide surface 9 comes into contact with the glass bottle, the guide surface 9 will undergo slight deformation, thus buffering the impact force and flexibly guiding the glass bottle, greatly reducing the risk of damage to the glass bottle.

[0034] Reference Figures 3-5In some specific embodiments, a movable plate 17 is slidably connected to one side of the second limiting frame 5. A clamping spring 21 is provided on one side of the movable plate 17. A clamping plate 18 is provided at one end of the clamping spring 21. The clamping plate 18 and the movable plate 17 are separated to form a clamping interval 29. The movable end 8 is located inside the clamping interval 29.

[0035] With the above technical solution, when the batch of glass bottles changes, the size of the glass bottles also changes. By pulling the clamping plate 18, the clamping position of the movable end 8 is changed, so as to adjust the tension of the guide belt 6, making the guide belt 6 tighter or looser. The adjustment of the tension allows the guide surface 9 of the guide belt 6 to better adapt to glass bottles of different sizes.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-3 In some specific embodiments, a movable cylinder 12 is provided on the other side of the second limiting frame 5. A connecting groove 15 is provided inside the second limiting frame 5. A movable block 13 is provided at one end of the movable cylinder 12. One end of the movable block 13 passes through the connecting groove 15, so that one end of the movable block 13 is connected to the movable plate 17.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, by setting a movable cylinder 12 on the other side of the second limiting frame 5, and connecting the movable cylinder 12 to the movable plate 17 through the connecting groove 15 and the movable block 13, the position of the movable plate 17 is precisely controlled.

[0038] Furthermore, the movable cylinder 12 can be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, with its cylinder body fixed to the other side of the second limit frame 5, and a movable block 13 provided at the end of the movable rod. The connecting groove 15 can be an elongated or elliptical opening, with its width slightly larger than the size of the movable block 13, to allow the movable block 13 to slide within the groove. The connection between the movable block 13 and the movable plate 17 can be achieved by bolts, pins, or snap-fits, ensuring a stable connection with a certain degree of flexibility.

[0039] Reference Figures 2-3 In some specific embodiments, a guide groove 14 is provided on one side of the second limiting frame 5, and a guide slider 16 is provided on the other side of the movable plate 17. The guide slider 16 slides in cooperation with the guide groove 14.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the cooperative structure of guide groove 14 and guide slider 16 provides a stable guiding mechanism, ensuring that the movable plate 17 maintains linear motion during movement and avoids deviating from the track; and the sliding structure reduces friction, making the movement of the movable plate 17 smoother, which is conducive to improving the working efficiency of the entire device.

[0041] Reference Figures 3-5In some specific embodiments, a plurality of first fixed protrusions 27 are provided on one side of the movable end 8, and the plurality of first fixed protrusions 27 extend to the guide belt 6. A second fixed protrusion 28 is provided on one side of the movable plate 17, and the second fixed protrusion 28 is located inside the clamping interval 29. The second fixed protrusion 28 engages with any of the first fixed protrusions 27.

[0042] Through the above technical solution, by setting multiple first fixed protrusions 27 on the movable end 8 and setting second fixed protrusions 28 on the movable plate 17 to mesh with them, the guide belt 6 is accurately positioned and flexibly adjusted in the corner area 30. The meshing of multiple first fixed protrusions 27 not only increases the connection strength between the movable end 8 of the guide belt 6 and the movable plate 17, but also improves the stability of the guide belt 6 in the corner area 30, and at the same time facilitates the adjustment of the position of the guide belt 6 according to actual needs.

[0043] Reference Figures 3-5 In some specific embodiments, two limiting inserts 19 are provided on one side of the clamping plate 18, and the two limiting inserts 19 are separated to form a limiting interval 22. The movable end is located inside the limiting interval 22. Two limiting slots 20 are provided on one side of the movable plate 17, and the two limiting inserts 19 are respectively inserted into the two limiting slots 20.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the combined design of the two limiting plates 19 and the two limiting slots 20 can effectively prevent the movable end 8 of the guide belt 6 from being accidentally displaced, thereby accurately controlling the position of the guide belt 6 and maintaining the stability of the guide belt 6 within the corner area 30, thus better guiding the glass bottle to turn smoothly.

[0045] Reference Figures 3-5 In some specific embodiments, a first mounting groove 23 is provided on one side of the movable plate 17, and first latching protrusions 24 are provided on both sides of the interior of the first mounting groove 23. The other end of the clamping spring 21 is inserted into the first mounting groove 23, so that the first latching protrusions 24 on both sides of the first mounting groove 23 are engaged with the other end of the clamping spring 21. A second mounting groove 25 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 18, and second latching protrusions 26 are provided on both sides of the second mounting groove 25. One end of the clamping spring 21 is inserted into the second mounting groove 25, so that the second latching protrusions 26 on both sides of the second mounting groove 25 are engaged with one end of the clamping spring 21.

[0046] With the above technical solution, the first mounting groove 23 on one side of the movable plate 17 has first locking protrusions 24 on both sides. One end of the clamping spring 21 is inserted into the first mounting groove 23 and engaged with the first locking protrusions 24. The second mounting groove 25 on one side of the clamping plate 18 has second locking protrusions 26 on both sides. The other end of the clamping spring 21 is inserted into the second mounting groove 25 and engaged with the second locking protrusions 26. This design makes the two ends of the clamping spring 21 form a stable connection with the movable plate 17 and the clamping plate 18 respectively, preventing the spring from falling off or shifting during movement.

[0047] Reference Figures 1-2 In some specific embodiments, the top of the transfer seat 3 is provided with a transfer surface 31, and the top of the transfer seat 3 is provided with a third limiting frame 10. The first limiting frame 4 and the third limiting frame 10 are respectively located on both sides of the transfer surface 31.
