Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workshop conveyor technology, and in particular to a vibration mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate the storage and transportation of bottled products, packaging is required. Bottled products are typically conveyed in a single channel on the production line. Before packaging, a channel-splitting structure switches the single-channel conveyor to a multi-channel output to facilitate subsequent packaging. Existing channel-splitting structures involve setting multiple channel dividers at preset sections of the single conveyor channel, splitting it into multiple channels to divert product flow from the single channel to the multi-channel system. However, this existing technology has the following drawbacks: during the product diversion process, blockages easily occur before the product enters the multi-channel system, requiring manual unblocking, which is cumbersome and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides an oscillation mechanism, comprising:

[0004] The lane structure includes multiple lane plates, which are arranged in parallel and equidistantly to form multiple product channels for the movement of individual products.

[0005] The vibration structure includes a power unit and a short guide plate assembly. The power unit drives the short guide plate assembly to reciprocate linearly along the conveying direction parallel to the product. The short guide plate assembly includes multiple short guide plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central guide plate. The short guide plates are correspondingly connected to other guide plates except for the edge guide plates and the central guide plate.

[0006] The central lane divider is the lane divider located in the middle of a plurality of lane dividers arranged in parallel and equidistant, and the edge lane divider is the lane divider located at the edge of a plurality of lane dividers arranged in parallel and equidistant.

[0007] When product blockage occurs, this invention uses a power device to drive a group of short guide plates to move back and forth along a direction parallel to the product conveying direction. During this back-and-forth movement, the short guide plates will have the following effects on the stuck bottles: 1. Applying dynamic thrust to the stuck bottles; 2. Releasing space, thereby allowing the product to smoothly pass through the channel formed between adjacent short guide plates and enter the product channel formed between adjacent guide plates, reducing the occurrence of blockage when the product enters multiple channels from a single channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the oscillation mechanism also includes a feeding guide structure, which includes two sets of oppositely arranged guide blocks, forming a single conveying channel between the two sets of guide blocks. The guide blocks are connected to the edge dividing plate, and a central dividing plate is provided at the middle position of the single conveying channel away from its product inlet. The central dividing plate is connected to the center dividing plate.

[0009] By dividing the material flow into two channels in advance by a central dividing plate, a dual-channel parallel processing structure can be formed, which can shorten the movement distance of a single material when dividing the channel, thereby reducing the time consumed in the channel division operation. Through pre-diversion processing, the occurrence of jamming can also be reduced when the product is divided.

[0010] Furthermore, the feed guiding structure also includes a detection device fixed on the guide block.

[0011] The detection device detects blockages in the product. When a blockage is detected, the detection device generates an electrical signal, which causes the power unit to drive the short guide plate group to move back and forth along the direction parallel to the product conveying, thereby realizing the automatic sorting of bottle blockages.

[0012] Furthermore, the oscillation mechanism also includes an offset adjustment structure, on which the feed guide structure, the short divider plate group, and the divider structure are all mounted. The offset adjustment structure drives the divider structure, the short divider plate group, and the feed guide structure to move linearly in a direction perpendicular to the divider plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the offset adjustment structure includes:

[0014] Screw, the screw is relatively fixed;

[0015] The handwheel is threaded onto the screw.

[0016] The mounting part is integrally mounted on the screw, the handwheel is rotatably connected to the mounting part, and the feeding guide structure, short channel plate assembly or channel structure is fixedly installed on the mounting part.

[0017] By rotating the handwheel, the mounting section moves linearly, which in turn drives the feeding guide structure, the short dividing plate group, and the dividing structure to move linearly as a whole. This allows for overall offset adjustment of the feeding guide structure, the short dividing plate group, and the dividing structure, enabling fine-tuning of the product's channel position according to actual working conditions and improving the flexibility of the mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, the oscillation mechanism also includes a frame, on which the offset adjustment structure is fixedly mounted;

[0019] A guide rail is provided on the frame at the position corresponding to the short lane divider group. The offset adjustment structure on which the short lane divider group is installed is slidably connected to the guide rail via a slider. The power unit is installed on the frame and connected to the offset adjustment structure.

[0020] By using guide rails to guide the sliding of the short lane divider assembly, the motion accuracy of the short lane divider assembly is improved.

[0021] Furthermore, rollers are provided near the inlet end of the single conveying channel on the center divider plate and the short divider plate, and these rollers are rotatably mounted on the end of the center divider plate or the short divider plate.

[0022] When the product is being diverted, it will come into contact with and collide with the rollers at the ends of the central or short dividing plate, causing the rollers to roll, which can reduce the chance of the product being scratched.

[0023] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] When product blockage occurs, this invention uses a power device to drive a group of short guide plates to move back and forth along a direction parallel to the product conveying direction. During this back-and-forth movement, the short guide plates will have the following effects on the stuck bottles: 1. Applying dynamic thrust to the stuck bottles; 2. Releasing space, thereby allowing the product to smoothly pass through the channel formed between adjacent short guide plates and enter the product channel formed between adjacent guide plates, reducing the occurrence of blockage when the product enters multiple channels from a single channel.

[0039] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0040] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0041] As described in the background section, during the process of conveying products from a single conveying channel to multiple channels, the single conveying channel is prone to blockage, requiring manual unblocking, which is cumbersome and labor-intensive.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides an oscillation mechanism, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the oscillation mechanism includes:

[0044] Lane splitting structure 200, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lane structure includes multiple lane plates 210, which are arranged in parallel and at equal intervals to form multiple product channels that allow individual products to move.

[0045] Vibrating structure 300, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the vibration structure includes a power unit 320 and a short guide plate group 310. The power unit drives the short guide plate group to reciprocate linearly along the conveying direction parallel to the product. The short guide plate group includes multiple short guide plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central guide plate. The short guide plates are correspondingly connected to other guide plates except for the edge guide plates and the central guide plate.

[0046] The central lane divider is the lane divider located in the middle of a plurality of lane dividers arranged in parallel and equidistant, and the edge lane divider is the lane divider located at the edge of a plurality of lane dividers arranged in parallel and equidistant.

[0047] This embodiment is mainly applied to multi-channel product diversion scenarios. In use, the vibration mechanism is installed as a whole on the conveying equipment. The single conveying channel of the conveying equipment is divided into multiple product channels by short divider plate groups and multiple divider plates. When the product is conveyed from the inlet to the product channel by the conveying equipment, the product is diverted into each product channel under the action of the short divider plate groups and moves along the product channel to the subsequent work station. When there are too many products, causing blockage at the product channel inlet, the short divider plate groups are driven by the power device to move back and forth in a direction parallel to the product conveying direction. During the back and forth movement, the product will smoothly pass through the channel formed between adjacent short divider plates and enter the product channel formed between adjacent divider plates, and then reach the subsequent work station.

[0048] In this embodiment, when product blockage occurs, the power unit drives the short guide plate assembly to move back and forth along the direction parallel to the product conveying. During the back-and-forth movement, the short guide plates will have the following effects on the stuck bottles: 1. When applying dynamic thrust to the stuck bottles in the forward movement; 2. When releasing space in the reverse movement, so that the product can smoothly pass through the channel formed between adjacent short guide plates and enter the product channel formed between adjacent guide plates, reducing the occurrence of blockage when the product enters multiple channels from a single channel.

[0049] In this embodiment, the power unit can be a cylinder, which drives the entire short lane divider assembly to reciprocate linearly by extending and retracting the cylinder piston rod. Of course, in addition to a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or other devices that can achieve the reciprocating linear motion of the short lane divider assembly can also be selected.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 8As shown, the connection between the short lane divider and the lane divider is achieved by the side of the short lane divider making staggered contact with the side of the lane divider. The side of the staggered contact has a preset thickness difference with the short lane divider or the lane divider to form a limiting step that can restrict the unidirectional travel of the short lane divider or the lane divider.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the oscillation mechanism may further include a feed guide structure 100, such as... Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the feeding guide structure includes two sets of guide blocks 110 arranged opposite to each other, forming a single conveying channel between the two sets of guide blocks. The guide blocks are connected to the edge dividing plate. A central dividing plate 120 is provided in the middle of the section of the single conveying channel away from its product inlet. The central dividing plate is connected to the center dividing plate.

[0052] In this embodiment, the movement of the product is guided by guide blocks to prevent the product from deviating. When the product moves to the position of the center divider plate, the product is diverted to both sides by the center divider plate, and then diverted again by the short divider plates.

[0053] This embodiment pre-divides the material flow into two channels by using a central dividing plate, forming a dual-channel parallel processing structure. This can shorten the movement distance of a single material during channel division, thereby reducing the time consumed in channel division. Through pre-diversion processing, it can also reduce the occurrence of jamming during product diversion.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the feeding guide structure also includes a detection device 130 fixed on the guide block. In this embodiment, the detection device can be an ultrasonic sensor, wherein one ultrasonic sensor can be provided on each of the two sets of guide blocks to ensure that the blockage of products on both sides of the central dividing plate is detected.

[0055] Specifically, the product enters the feeding guide structure under the action of the conveyor belt and is diverted by the central divider plate, moving to the left and right channels separated by it. However, when moving further into the multiple product channels formed by the divider structure, product jamming is likely to occur in the left and right channels. In this embodiment, a detection device is set in the left and right channels to detect the product blockage in the left and right channels. When a blockage is detected, the detection device generates an electrical signal, which causes the power unit to drive the short divider plate group to move back and forth along the direction parallel to the product conveying, thereby realizing the automatic sorting of bottle blockage.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the oscillation mechanism may further include an offset adjustment structure 500. The feed guide structure, the short divider plate group, and the divider structure are all mounted on the offset adjustment structure. The offset adjustment structure drives the divider structure, the short divider plate group, and the feed guide structure to move linearly in a direction perpendicular to the divider plate.

[0057] In this embodiment, the feed guide structure, the short channel plate group, and the channel structure are connected to at least one set of offset adjustment structures.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the offset adjustment structure may include:

[0059] Screw 520, the screw is relatively fixed;

[0060] Handwheel 510, which is threaded onto the screw rod;

[0061] Mounting part 530, the mounting part is integrally mounted on the screw, the handwheel is rotatably connected to the mounting part, and the feeding guide structure, short dividing plate group or dividing structure is fixedly installed on the mounting part.

[0062] In this embodiment, rotating the handwheel drives the mounting part to move linearly, thereby driving the feeding guide structure, the short dividing plate group and the dividing structure to move linearly as a whole. This enables the overall offset adjustment of the feeding guide structure, the short dividing plate group and the dividing structure, allowing for fine-tuning of the product's channel position according to actual working conditions, thus improving the flexibility of the mechanism.

[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the oscillation mechanism may further include a frame 400, on which the offset adjustment structure is fixedly mounted;

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, a guide rail 410 can also be fixedly installed on the frame at the position corresponding to the short lane divider group. The offset adjustment structure with the short lane divider group installed is slidably connected to the guide rail through the slider 330. The power device is installed on the frame and connected to the offset adjustment structure. When the power device drives the offset adjustment structure with the short lane divider group installed to reciprocate linearly, the guide rail guides the sliding of the short lane divider group, thereby improving the motion accuracy of the short lane divider group.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, rollers 600 can also be provided near the inlet end of the single conveying channel on the center divider plate and the short divider plate. The rollers are rotatably installed at the end of the center divider plate or the short divider plate.

[0066] When the product is being diverted, it will come into contact with and collide with the rollers at the ends of the central or short dividing plate, causing the rollers to roll, which can reduce the chance of the product being scratched.

[0067] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
