Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ink bottle transmission equipment, and more specifically to an ink bottle transmission buffer device. Background Technology

[0002] In the ink filling process, the ink bottles filled with ink are conveyed to the capping process by a conveyor, where the capping machine screws the caps on. See also Figure 1 To prevent ink bottles 2 from falling off the sides of conveyor 1, a first guardrail 3 and a second guardrail 4 are installed on both sides of the frame of conveyor 1. With the protection of the first guardrail 3 and the second guardrail 4, the safety of conveyor 1 in transporting ink bottles 2 is improved.

[0003] When the capping machine malfunctions and stops, workers need to stand next to the conveyor and manually cap the ink bottles. Because the manual capping speed is slower than that of the capping machine, ink bottles can easily clog the conveyor, increasing the load on the conveyor and consequently increasing the risk of conveyor failure.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the transmission load of the conveyor is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a transmission buffer device for ink bottles. This invention can reduce the transmission load on the conveyor and help reduce the risk of conveyor failure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An ink bottle transfer and buffer device includes a conveyor. A first guardrail and a second guardrail are respectively provided on both sides of the conveyor frame. The first guardrail has a notch, within which a movable rail is provided. Both sides of the movable rail are rotatably connected to a stop bar. A horizontal seat is rotatably connected to the end of the stop bar furthest from the movable rail. The horizontal seat is horizontally slidably connected to the first guardrail. A buffer plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable rail. A vertical seat is rotatably connected to the bottom of the buffer plate. The vertical seat is connected to the conveyor frame via a lifting mechanism, which drives the vertical seat to move up and down vertically.

[0008] Furthermore, the first guardrail is provided with a transverse slide rail, and the cross seat slides in conjunction with the transverse slide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor frame is provided with a vertical slide rail, and the vertical seat slides in cooperation with the vertical slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism adopts one of the following: a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor is a chain conveyor.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the movable railing is provided with a connecting rod, which is higher than the ink bottle. A guide rail is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the movable railing. The other end of the guide railing is provided with a sliding pin. The second guardrail is provided with an elongated hole, and the sliding pin cooperates with the elongated hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the second guardrail has a receiving groove on the side facing the first guardrail, and the bottom wall of the receiving groove has the elongated hole, and the guide rail is located in the receiving groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. When the capping machine malfunctions, workers manually cap the ink bottles next to the conveyor. Due to the low efficiency of workers, the ink bottles being transported on the conveyor will gradually become congested. To address this, workers can push the transported ink bottles onto a horizontal buffer plate to reduce the number of ink bottles being transported on the conveyor, thereby alleviating the congestion, reducing the transport load on the conveyor, and lowering the risk of conveyor failure.

[0016] 2. When the buffer plate is in a horizontal position, the movable rails and the guardrails on both sides of the movable rails together surround the sides of the buffer plate. The movable rails and guardrails can prevent the ink bottles on the buffer plate from falling off, thus improving the safety of using the buffer plate to temporarily store ink bottles.

[0017] 3. When the buffer plate is in a vertical position, the movable rail is located inside the gap. The movable rail and the first guardrail can work together to protect the ink bottles being transported on the conveyor. This situation is suitable for situations where the capping machine has not malfunctioned. The movable rail can prevent the ink bottles from falling out of the gap, thus improving the reliability of the conveyor.

[0018] 4. Because when the buffer plate is in a vertical position, the movable railing is located within the gap, and the entire guardrail is in a state of being close to the first guardrail, the overall structure is more compact, which is conducive to improving space utilization.

[0019] 5. By placing the horizontal seat in the horizontal slide rail and the vertical seat in the vertical slide rail, the stability and reliability of the horizontal and vertical seats during movement can be improved.

[0020] 6. By setting up connecting rods, guide rails, and sliding pins, when the buffer plate is turned into a horizontal position, the guide rails can be turned into a slanted block in the conveyor's conveying direction, allowing the ink bottles conveyed by the conveyor to reach the buffer plate along the guide rails through the gaps, eliminating the need for workers to manually push the ink bottles onto the buffer plate, which helps reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0021] 7. When the guide rail changes from the state of conveying in the direction of the inclined conveyor to the state of being hidden in the receiving trough, the ink bottle conveyed by the conveyor will not be blocked by the guide rail. In addition, the height of the connecting rod is higher than the ink bottle, so the ink bottle will not be blocked by the connecting rod, allowing the ink bottle to be conveyed smoothly.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] See Figures 2 to 10 A transfer and buffering device for ink bottles includes a conveyor 1, which is used to transfer filled ink bottles 2 to the location of a capping machine. In this embodiment 1, the conveyor 1 is a chain conveyor.

[0037] The first guardrail 3 and the second guardrail 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the frame of the conveyor 1.

[0038] The first guardrail 3 has a notch 31, within which a movable rail 5 is installed. Both sides of the movable rail 5 are rotatably connected to a stop bar 6. At the end of the stop bar 6 furthest from the movable rail 5, a horizontal seat 7 is rotatably connected. The horizontal seat 7 slides horizontally with a transverse slide rail 8, which is fixedly installed on the first guardrail 3. A buffer plate 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable rail 5. A vertical seat 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the buffer plate 9. The vertical seat 10 slides vertically with a vertical slide rail 11, which is fixedly installed on the frame of the conveyor 1.

[0039] A lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on the frame of the conveyor 1. The lifting mechanism adopts one of the following: cylinder 12, oil cylinder, and electric push rod. In this embodiment 1, the lifting mechanism adopts cylinder 12. The piston rod of cylinder 12 is set upward. The vertical seat 10 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of cylinder 12. Cylinder 12 is used to drive the vertical seat 10 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0041] (1) Scenario 1:

[0042] When the piston rod of cylinder 12 extends upward, it pushes the vertical seat 10 upward. The vertical seat 10 slides upward within the vertical slide rail 11, pushing the bottom of the buffer plate 9 upward. Since the top of the buffer plate 9 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the movable rail 5, and the movable rail 5 slides horizontally on the transverse slide rail 8 via the stop bar 6 and the cross seat 7, when the bottom of the buffer plate 9 moves upward, the top of the buffer plate 9 can only move in the direction away from the conveyor 1, causing the buffer plate 9 to gradually change from a vertical to a horizontal position. At the same time, the top of the buffer plate 9 drives the movable rail 5 to move away from the conveyor 1. One end of the stop bar 6, which is rotatably connected to the movable rail 5, moves with the movable rail 5, while the cross seat 7 at the other end of the stop bar 6 slides horizontally within the transverse slide rail 8, approaching the notch 31. When the buffer plate 9 is in a horizontal position, the movable rail 5 and the stop bars 6 on both sides of the movable rail 5 together surround the sides of the buffer plate 9.

[0043] When the capping machine malfunctions, workers manually cap the ink bottles next to the conveyor 1. Due to the low efficiency of the workers, the ink bottles 2 being transported on the conveyor 1 will gradually become congested. To address this, the workers can push the transported ink bottles 2 onto the horizontal buffer plate 9 to reduce the number of ink bottles 2 being transported on the conveyor 1, thereby alleviating the congestion and reducing the transport load on the conveyor 1, thus reducing the risk of conveyor 1 malfunction.

[0044] When the buffer plate 9 is in a horizontal position, the movable rail 5 and the baffles 6 on both sides of the movable rail 5 together surround the side of the buffer plate 9. The movable rail 5 and the baffles 6 can prevent the ink bottle 2 on the buffer plate 9 from falling off, thus improving the safety of using the buffer plate 9 to temporarily store the ink bottle 2.

[0045] (2) Scenario 2:

[0046] When the piston rod of cylinder 12 retracts downward, it causes the vertical seat 10 to move downward. The vertical seat 10 slides downward within the vertical slide rail 11, causing the bottom of the buffer plate 9 to move downward. The top of the buffer plate 9 moves closer to the conveyor 1, gradually changing the buffer plate 9 from a horizontal to a vertical position. The movable rail 5 at the top of the buffer plate 9 also moves closer to the conveyor 1. The end of the stop bar 6 that is rotatably connected to the movable rail 5 also moves closer to the conveyor 1. The horizontal seat 7 at the other end of the stop bar 6 slides away from the notch 31 within the horizontal slide rail 8. When the buffer plate 9 is in a vertical position, the movable rail 5 is located within the notch 31. The movable rail 5 and the first guardrail 3 together provide protection for the ink bottle 2 being transported on the conveyor 1. This configuration is suitable when the capping machine is functioning correctly. The movable rail 5 prevents the ink bottle 2 from falling from the notch 31, improving the reliability of the conveying process.

[0047] Because when the buffer plate 9 is in a vertical position, the movable railing 5 is located within the gap 31, and the entire baffle 6 is in a state of being close to the first guardrail 3, the overall structure is more compact, which is conducive to improving space utilization.

[0048] In addition, by placing the horizontal seat 7 inside the horizontal slide rail 8 and the vertical seat 10 inside the vertical slide rail 11, the stability and reliability of the horizontal seat 7 and the vertical seat 10 during movement can be improved.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] This embodiment 2 is an improvement upon embodiment 1:

[0051] See Figures 2 to 10 A connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable railing 5. The height of the connecting rod 13 is higher than that of the ink bottle 2. A guide rail 14 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 13 away from the movable railing 5. A sliding pin 15 is welded and fixed to the other end of the guide rail 14. The second railing 4 has a receiving groove 41 on the side facing the first railing 3. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 41 has an elongated hole 42. The guide rail 14 is located in the receiving groove 41, and the sliding pin 15 is located in the elongated hole 42.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment 2 is as follows:

[0053] (1) Scenario 1:

[0054] When the piston rod of cylinder 12 extends upward, the buffer plate 9 gradually changes from a vertical position to a horizontal position. The movable rail 5 moves outward from the notch 31 to a position away from the conveyor 1. The movable rail 5 drives the connecting rod 13 to move together, and the connecting rod 13 drives one end of the guide rail 14 to move together. The sliding pin 15 at the other end of the guide rail 14 slides in the elongated hole 42, so that the guide rail 14 gradually changes from a state hidden in the receiving groove 41 to a state of being obliquely blocked in the conveying direction of the conveyor 1. At this time, the ink bottle 2 conveyed by the conveyor 1 passes through the notch 31 along the guide rail 14 and reaches the horizontally positioned buffer plate 9.

[0055] Compared with Embodiment 1, by setting the connecting rod 13, the guide rail 14 and the sliding pin 15, when the buffer plate 9 is turned into a horizontal position, the guide rail 14 can be turned into a state of inclined block in the conveying direction of the conveyor 1, allowing the ink bottle 2 conveyed by the conveyor 1 to reach the buffer plate 9 along the guide rail 14 through the notch 31, without the need for workers to manually push the ink bottle 2 onto the buffer plate 9, which helps to reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0056] (2) Scenario 2:

[0057] When the piston rod of cylinder 12 retracts downward, the buffer plate 9 gradually changes from a horizontal to a vertical position. The movable rail 5 enters the notch 31, and the movable rail 5 pushes the connecting rod 13 to move together. The connecting rod 13 drives the guide rail 14 to move together. The sliding pin 15 at the other end of the guide rail 14 slides in the opposite direction in the elongated hole 42, so that the guide rail 14 changes from the state of conveying in the direction of the inclined conveyor 1 to the state of being hidden in the receiving groove 41. At this time, the ink bottle 2 transmitted by the conveyor 1 will not be blocked by the guide rail 14. In addition, the height of the connecting rod 13 is higher than that of the ink bottle 2, so the ink bottle 2 will not be blocked by the connecting rod 13, so that the ink bottle 2 can be transmitted smoothly.

[0058] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
