Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical beverage processing technology, and specifically relates to a conveying speed adjustment device for a special medical beverage conveying line. Background Technology
[0002] Special medical beverages are filled in plastic bottles. During the filling process and labeling after filling, the beverages are transported by a conveyor belt and the filling and labeling are completed sequentially. However, during the conveying process, it is difficult to precisely control the conveying speed and the filling and labeling speed to be completely synchronized. In actual production, it is difficult to operate flexibly when special circumstances require adjustment of the conveying speed.
[0003] To improve the convenience of speed adjustment in filling conveyor lines and enhance the flexibility of production lines, a conveying speed adjustment device for special medical beverage conveyor lines is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a conveying speed adjustment device for a special medical beverage conveying line, which is used to precisely control the conveying speed of filling bottles in order to improve the production efficiency of filling, labeling and other processing steps.
[0005] The technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a conveying speed adjustment device for a special medical beverage conveying line, comprising a rotating shaft arranged parallel to the conveying line, a drive roller on the rotating shaft, a continuous spiral groove formed on the outer surface of the drive roller, the spiral groove being used to partially accommodate filling bottles, and a pulley on the rotating shaft; further comprising a motor, the output shaft of the motor being belt-driven connected to the rotating shaft; and further comprising a protective cover, the motor and the rotating shaft being disposed within the protective cover, wherein the axis of the drive roller is located within the protective cover.
[0006] Preferably, the motor is a stepper motor or a servo motor.
[0007] Preferably, a torque limiter is provided between the pulley and the rotating shaft. When the conveying resistance exceeds a preset value, the torque limiter automatically slips to prevent the drive roller from jamming and being damaged.
[0008] Preferably, the device also includes a sensor group for detecting the position of the filling bottle. The sensor group includes multiple photoelectric sensors arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. The sensor group is electrically connected to the motor and is used to control the motor speed based on the position feedback information of the filling bottle.
[0009] Preferably, the spiral groove surface of the drive roller is provided with an elastic anti-slip layer, which is made of silicone material and has fine raised texture on its surface to increase the friction on the filling bottle.
[0010] Preferably, the belt drive connection structure between the motor and the rotating shaft further includes a tensioning pulley, which is mounted on an adjustable bracket, and the tension of the belt is adjusted by adjusting the position of the bracket.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This invention achieves efficient and stable conveying through a unique mechanical structure design. The drive roller with spiral grooves on the rotating shaft can precisely accommodate the filling bottles. The guiding effect of the spiral structure ensures the bottles move smoothly and orderly during conveying, reducing the risk of collisions and tipping. The protective cover not only protects core components such as the motor and rotating shaft from dust and debris intrusion that could affect normal operation, but also enhances the safety of the device.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Reference Appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 2 In the figure, a represents a conveyor line and b represents a filling bottle, which uses belt conveying. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, this embodiment provides a conveying speed adjustment device for a special medical beverage conveyor line, including a rotating shaft 1 arranged parallel to the conveyor line a, a drive roller 2 on the rotating shaft 1, and a continuous spiral groove 3 formed on the outer surface of the drive roller 2, the spiral groove 3 being used to partially accommodate the filling bottle b, and a pulley 4 on the rotating shaft 1; it also includes a motor 5, the output shaft of which is belt-driven connected to the rotating shaft 1; and a protective cover 6, in which the motor 5 and the rotating shaft 1 are both arranged, wherein the axis of the drive roller 2 is located inside the protective cover 6.
[0018] In this embodiment, the protective cover mainly serves to surround the speed adjustment device. Since the rotating shaft 1 and the drive roller 2 rotate during operation, in order to ensure the safety of the workers and on-site production personnel and prevent gloves, hair, clothes, etc. from getting tangled, the protective cover 6 is set up for isolation.
[0019] In the above embodiments, to facilitate adjustment of the motor speed, a stepper motor or a servo motor is preferably used. Using a stepper motor or a servo motor enables high-precision speed control, meeting the stringent requirements for conveying speed in the production of special medical beverages.
[0020] In some embodiments, to protect the motor in extreme jamming situations, a torque limiter is provided between the pulley and the rotating shaft. When the conveying resistance exceeds a preset value, the torque limiter automatically slips to prevent the drive roller from jamming and being damaged. The torque limiter between the pulley and the rotating shaft can automatically slip when the conveying resistance exceeds the preset value, effectively preventing the drive roller from being damaged due to jamming, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0021] In some preferred embodiments, to improve the friction force of the drive roller 2 when driving the filling bottle, ensuring reliable and stable driving, an elastic anti-slip layer is provided on the surface of the spiral groove of the drive roller. This elastic anti-slip layer is made of silicone material and has fine raised textures on its surface to increase friction against the filling bottle. The elastic anti-slip silicone layer on the surface of the spiral groove of the drive roller, through its fine raised textures, increases friction and further ensures the stability of the filling bottle during transport. A tensioning wheel, in conjunction with an adjustable bracket, allows operators to easily adjust the belt tension according to actual conditions, ensuring the reliability of the belt drive and maintaining stable operation of the device.
[0022] In some embodiments, to avoid during the drying process, such as Figure 1 As shown, the belt drive connection structure between the motor and the rotating shaft also includes a tensioning wheel 7. The tensioning wheel 7 is rotatably mounted on the protective cover, which has multiple adjustable mounting positions. The tension of the belt can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel, thereby improving the driving stability of the rotating shaft 1 and increasing the flexibility of adjustment.
[0023] In the implementation of this invention, during the equipment startup phase, the position of the tensioning wheel 7 is first adjusted to ensure that the belt tension between the motor 5 and the rotating shaft 1 is appropriate, laying the foundation for stable transmission. Then, the stepper motor or servo motor inside the protective cover 6 is turned on, and the motor drives the rotating shaft 1 and the drive roller 2 to start operating via belt transmission. Since the spiral groove 3 on the outer surface of the drive roller 2 can partially accommodate the filling bottles, as the drive roller rotates, the filling bottles b move smoothly and orderly forward along the conveyor line under the guidance of the spiral structure and the action of friction.
[0024] During operation, a sensor array composed of photoelectric sensors positioned along the conveying direction works in real time, continuously detecting the position information of the filled bottles. If an unexpected situation occurs during conveying, causing the conveying resistance to exceed the preset value of the torque limiter, the torque limiter automatically slips, cutting off the power transmission between the rotating shaft and the pulley, preventing the drive roller 2 from jamming and being damaged. Furthermore, the elastic anti-slip silicone layer on the surface of the spiral groove 3 of the drive roller 2, with its fine raised texture, continuously provides stable friction, ensuring the smooth operation of the filled bottles throughout the entire conveying process. Regarding equipment maintenance, operators can periodically check the belt tension and adjust the position of the tensioning wheel bracket to ensure the reliability of the belt drive and extend the equipment's service life. Simultaneously, when adjusting the bottle conveying speed, the conveying speed can be adjusted according to the different upstream processes, such as filling, labeling, and cooling, to ensure orderly production throughout the entire production line.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
