Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass container manufacturing technology, specifically to a bottle unloading device for an annealing furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Glass containers are common in daily life, industrial production and experiments. They are made by melting solid glass raw materials into molten glass in a furnace and then pouring it into a bottle-making machine to form the glass. After forming, the glass containers need to be annealed in an annealing furnace. The annealed glass containers are transported to the rear end of the annealing furnace by a mesh belt and then sent to the downstream process by a conveyor device.
[0003] In existing technologies, although glass containers at the rear end of the annealing furnace can be transferred to the conveying device by the pushing action of other glass containers behind them, the problem of glass containers tipping over is common, especially for glass containers that are tall or have small bottoms. This not only damages the glass containers but also blocks the conveying channel, affecting normal production. Therefore, in order to ensure product quality and production continuity, in actual production, the conveying of glass containers from the rear end of the annealing furnace to the conveying device is mostly achieved by manual handling, which results in low conveying efficiency and high labor intensity for workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing an automatic bottle unloading device for an annealing furnace.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution to solve the technical problem: an automatic bottle discharging device for an annealing furnace, wherein wine bottles are arranged in multiple rows on the mesh belt of the annealing furnace, the rear end of the annealing furnace is located on the side of the conveyor chain plate and close to the conveyor chain plate, and is equipped with a guide plate and a vibrator;
[0006] The guide plate is located between the mesh belt and the conveyor chain plate, connecting the mesh belt and the conveyor chain plate;
[0007] The fixed end of the vibrator is fixed to the frame, and the output end is fixed to the bottom of the guide plate; the vibrator outputs vibration that drives the guide plate to reciprocate up and down.
[0008] In actual setup, the vibrator should output high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations to periodically reduce or eliminate the friction between the bottle and the guide plate while ensuring that the bottle does not visibly detach from the guide plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the guide plate is densely covered with straight grooves parallel to the conveying direction of the mesh belt to restrict the movement of the wine bottle perpendicular to the conveying direction and guide the wine bottle to be conveyed to the conveyor chain plate along the conveying direction.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support plate;
[0011] The output end of the vibrator is fixedly mounted with the support plate, and the support plate is fixedly mounted to the guide plate.
[0012] The shape and size of the support plate should be adjusted accordingly based on the shape and size of the guide plate, so that the support plate can transmit the vibration of the vibrator to all parts of the guide plate as evenly as possible, and can improve the structural strength of the guide plate to a certain extent.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a bracket, through which the fixed end of the vibrator is mounted and fixed to the frame.
[0014] Furthermore, a buffer pad is provided between the vibrator and the support.
[0015] Furthermore, the vibrators are arranged in rows at equal intervals.
[0016] When multiple vibrators are installed, they should work synchronously and in coordination.
[0017] Furthermore, the vibrator is equipped with a silencer to reduce its operating noise.
[0018] Furthermore, the vibrator is a pneumatic vibrator and is equipped with an air storage tank; the air storage tank helps to stabilize the driving air pressure of the pneumatic vibrator, which is used for the stable operation of the pneumatic vibrator.
[0019] Furthermore, the guide plate is made of stainless steel.
[0020] This utility model provides an automatic bottle-discharging device for an annealing furnace, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. This utility model uses the high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration of the guide plate between the rear end of the mesh belt and the conveyor chain plate to periodically reduce or eliminate the friction between the wine bottle and the guide plate, so that the wine bottle in front can be conveyed from the rear end of the mesh belt to the conveyor chain plate under the pushing action of the wine bottle behind, which can efficiently and stably realize the transfer of the wine bottle from the rear end of the mesh belt to the conveyor chain plate.
[0022] 2. This utility model effectively solves the problem of wine bottles easily tipping over when they are transferred directly from the rear end of the mesh belt to the conveyor chain plate, which is conducive to ensuring production stability and continuity.
[0023] 3. This utility model mechanizes the transfer of wine bottles from the rear end of the mesh belt to the conveyor chain plate, which effectively improves the transfer efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of the workers compared with manual handling. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] An automatic bottle-discharging device for an annealing furnace, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the structural relationship is as follows: the wine bottles 3 are arranged in multiple rows on the mesh belt 2 of the annealing furnace 1, and the rear end of the annealing furnace 1 is located on the side of the conveyor chain plate 4 and close to the conveyor chain plate 4.
[0030] It is equipped with a stainless steel guide plate 5 and a pneumatic vibrator 6 as a vibrator.
[0031] The guide plate 5 is located between the mesh belt 2 and the conveyor chain plate 4, connecting the mesh belt 2 and the conveyor chain plate 4; the upper surface of the guide plate 5 is densely covered with straight grooves parallel to the conveying direction of the mesh belt 2.
[0032] The pneumatic vibrators are arranged in rows at equal intervals and equipped with silencers and air tanks 9. Each pneumatic vibrator works synchronously and in coordination. The fixed end of the pneumatic vibrator is fixed to the frame via a bracket 7, and a buffer pad 11 is placed between the pneumatic vibrator and the bracket 7. The output end of the pneumatic vibrator is fixed with a support plate 8, which is fixed to a guide plate 5 via the support plate 8. The output drives the guide plate 5 to reciprocate up and down with high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration.
[0033] The automatic bottle-discharging device for the annealing furnace described above transfers the bottles at the rear end of the mesh belt 2 to the conveyor chain plate 4, including the following process:
[0034] The mesh belt 2 transports the wine bottles 3 in multiple rows to the rear end of the mesh belt 2. The vibrator 6 then operates, causing the guide plate 5 to vibrate at a high frequency and low amplitude. Under the pushing action of the wine bottles 3 transported earlier and later, the rear end of the mesh belt 2 moves from the mesh belt 2 to the conveyor chain plate 4 until it reaches the conveyor chain plate 4, where it is sent to the downstream process.
[0035] When the bottle 3 is conveyed on the guide plate 5, it is subjected to the high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration of the guide plate 5. The friction between the bottle 3 and the guide plate 5 is periodically reduced or eliminated, so that the bottle 3 can move forward smoothly under a very small pushing force and is not easy to tip over under the action of friction.
[0036] The aforementioned automatic bottle unloading device for the annealing furnace can also be equipped with a controller and a photoelectric sensor 10. The controller is connected to the photoelectric sensor 10 and the pneumatic vibrator. The measurement area of the photoelectric sensor 10 is located at the rear end of the mesh belt 2. When the bottles 3 are conveyed in rows to the rear end of the mesh belt 2, the photoelectric sensor 10 is triggered, and then the pneumatic vibrator is started, driving the guide plate 5 to vibrate at a high frequency and low amplitude. This periodically reduces or eliminates the friction between the bottles 3 and the guide plate 5, so that the bottles 3 in front can be conveyed from the rear end of the mesh belt 2 to the conveyor chain plate 4 under the pushing action of the bottles 3 behind. This efficiently and stably realizes the transfer of the bottles 3 from the rear end of the mesh belt 2 to the conveyor chain plate 4.
