Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bottle inlet baffles for capping machines, and in particular to a bottle inlet adjustment baffle. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The capping machine (PET capping machine) is an important piece of equipment in the bottled milk production line. The capping machine includes a disc-shaped storage bin for temporary storage of PET bottles (i.e., bottles for filling milk). During operation, the PET bottles enter the storage bin from the inlet on one side along the bin wall. An adjusting baffle is installed at the inlet, and the main function of the adjusting baffle is to guide the PET bottles from the inlet on one side of the storage bin into the storage bin in an orderly manner along the bin wall.

[0004] Currently, the common method for fixing the adjusting baffle is to install a sliding rod at the top of the storage compartment, and then make a long slot on the side of the sliding rod. The top of the adjusting baffle extends to one side of the sliding rod, and then a bolt is used to pass through the slot and the corresponding part of the adjusting baffle to fix the adjusting baffle. When the position of the adjusting baffle needs to be adjusted (to adapt to bottles of different diameters), the bolt is loosened, and then the bolt moves with the adjusting baffle in the slot. After moving to the designated position, the bolt is tightened again.

[0005] However, in practice, it was found that during operation, the PET bottles would constantly come into contact with and collide with the adjusting baffle, causing vibration. The bolts would easily loosen under the vibration, resulting in the adjusting baffle being prone to displacement. It was necessary to manually tighten the bolts every once in a while, which was quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a bottle inlet adjustment baffle.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a bottle inlet adjusting baffle, comprising:

[0008] baffle body;

[0009] The slide bar, which has a polygonal cross-section and a flat top, is set on the top of the storage compartment and located above the baffle body;

[0010] A sliding sleeve is slidably fitted onto the outside of a slide rod, and its interior has an inner surface that is adapted to each of the outer surfaces of the slide rod.

[0011] The connecting plate is connected to the baffle body at one end and to the sliding sleeve at the other end.

[0012] The bolt, with a screw, is located at the top of the sliding sleeve, passes downward from the top of the sliding sleeve, and abuts against the top surface of the sliding rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the length direction of the slide bar is not on the same straight line as the feeding direction of the bottle.

[0014] Furthermore, the baffle body includes a receiving part, an arc-shaped guide part, and a bending part. The arc-shaped guide part and the bending part are bent at an acute angle. The bending part faces the inside of the arc-shaped guide part. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bending part. The connecting plate, the bending part, and the arc-shaped guide part are arranged in a similar triangular shape. There is a gap between the connecting plate and the arc-shaped guide part.

[0015] Furthermore, a clamping plate is provided inside the sliding sleeve, and an elastic friction pad is provided on one side of the clamping plate corresponding to the sliding rod. The clamping plate is located at the bottom of the bolt and rotates with the bolt.

[0016] Furthermore, a torsion block is provided on the top of the bolt for manual turning.

[0017] Furthermore, the twist block is provided with perforations.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0019] This invention transforms the force exerted on the baffle body by the PET bottle during its movement into a torsional force between the sliding sleeve and the sliding rod by engaging the sliding sleeve and the sliding rod. Since the sliding rod has a polygonal cross-section, this torsional force is offset by the sliding rod, thus reducing the force ultimately transmitted to the bolt. Furthermore, since the bolt abuts against the top surface of the sliding rod from top to bottom, the vibration force transmitted to the bolt is mostly horizontal, making the bolt less prone to disturbance and thus less likely to loosen.

[0025] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a bottle inlet adjusting baffle, comprising:

[0027] Baffle body 1;

[0028] The slide bar 2 has a polygonal cross-section and a flat top. It is set on the top of the storage compartment and located above the baffle body 1.

[0029] The sliding sleeve 3 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 2, and its interior has an inner surface that is adapted to each of the outer surfaces of the sliding rod 2.

[0030] The connecting plate 4 is connected to the baffle body 1 at one end and to the sliding sleeve 3 at the other end;

[0031] Bolt 5 is screwed on the top of the sliding sleeve 3, passes downward from the top of the sliding sleeve 3, and abuts against the top surface of the sliding rod 2.

[0032] In specific implementation, careful research revealed that for adjustment baffles fixed in a commonly used manner, the PET bottle exerts a periodic force on the adjustment baffle in the direction of travel as it moves along the inner wall of the baffle. This force is close to the length direction of the bolt 5, making it easier to disturb the bolt 5 and cause it to loosen. However, in this application, by fitting the sliding sleeve 3 with the sliding rod 2, the force generated by the PET bottle during its movement acts on the baffle body 1 and is transformed into a torsional force between the sliding sleeve 3 and the sliding rod 2. Since the cross-section of the sliding rod 2 is polygonal, the sliding sleeve 3 cannot twist relative to the sliding rod 2. That is, most of the force applied to the sliding sleeve 3 is directly canceled out by the sliding rod 2, and the remaining force becomes a vibration force. Since the bolt 5 abuts against the top surface of the sliding rod 2 from top to bottom, and this vibration force is mostly a horizontal vibration force, the degree of disturbance of the bolt 5 by this vibration force is small, and the bolt 5 is not easily disturbed, thus it is not easy to loosen.

[0033] In one embodiment, the length direction of the slide bar 2 is not collinear with the feeding direction of the PET bottle. This design avoids the PET bottle initially contacting the baffle body 1 and applying a force to the sliding sleeve 3 that is in the same direction as the length of the slide bar 2, further reducing the possibility of the sliding sleeve 3 moving on the slide bar 2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the baffle body 1 includes a receiving part 11, an arc-shaped guide part 12, and a bending part 13. The arc-shaped guide part 12 and the bending part 13 are bent at an acute angle. The bending part 13 faces the inner side of the arc-shaped guide part 12 (i.e., the side at the center of the corresponding storage compartment). The connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bending part 13. The connecting plate 4, the bending part 13, and the arc-shaped guide part 12 are arranged in a similar triangular shape, and there is a gap between the connecting plate 4 and the arc-shaped guide part 12.

[0035] In specific implementations, the structure of the common baffle body 1 is similar to that of this application. The difference is that there is a gap between the connecting plate 4 and the arc-shaped guide part 12 in this application. The purpose of this design is to allow the arc-shaped guide part 12 to have a certain displacement space. When the material feeding speed is fast or the bottle is large, the bottle will impact the baffle body 1. At this time, the gap allows the arc-shaped guide part 12 to have space for elastic deformation, turning rigid contact into flexible contact, avoiding damage to the bottle. At the same time, it can also avoid the situation of material jamming caused by insufficient distance between the baffle body 1 and the side wall of the storage compartment. In addition, it can also make the bottle located between the baffle body 1 and the side wall of the storage compartment subject to a slight clamping force (due to the gap, the clamping force will not be too large due to misoperation), guiding the bottle with higher precision, and making the movement trajectory of the bottle entering the storage compartment more orderly.

[0036] In one embodiment, a clamping plate 6 is provided inside the sliding sleeve 3, and an elastic friction pad 7 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 6 corresponding to the sliding rod 2. The clamping plate 6 is located at the bottom of the bolt 5 and rotates with the bolt 5.

[0037] In practice, bolt 5 and sliding sleeve 3 are screwed together. Rotating bolt 5 causes it to move down and push clamp 6 and friction pad 7 to abut against sliding rod 2. The friction pad 7 is designed to increase the friction between sliding sleeve 3 and sliding rod 2, preventing sliding sleeve 3 from sliding relative to sliding rod 2. On the other hand, the elasticity of friction pad 7 allows it to be pre-compressed, which can compensate for the displacement of bolt 5 in the early stage of bolt 5 loosening, so that sliding sleeve 3 and sliding rod 2 remain fixed.

[0038] Preferably, the elastic friction pad 7 can be a rubber block.

[0039] In one embodiment, a torsion block 8 is provided on the top of the bolt 5 for manual turning. This design eliminates the need for tools such as wrenches, allowing the bolt 5 to be turned manually via the torsion block 8, thus improving ease of use.

[0040] In one embodiment, the torsion block 8 is provided with a through hole 81. With this design, when it cannot be turned, a rod-shaped tool (i.e., a force-applying rod) can be selected and passed through the through hole 81, and then the torsion block 8 can be rotated by the rod-shaped tool, without the need to find a corresponding tool, thus further improving the convenience of use.

[0041] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0042] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0043] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.
