Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle conveying, and specifically to a device for conveying round bottles. Background Technology

[0002] After the glass bottles are fired and formed, they need to be conveyed one by one for airtightness testing, appearance inspection, and thread defect inspection. Only after passing the inspection can they be packaged. There are many existing technologies for conveying in rows, such as a conveying and rowing device published in patent publication number CN 217295998U, which is used to convey cleaned filled beverage bottles in rows to the labeling area for processing. Although this method can effectively achieve the purpose of conveying in rows, it belongs to the later rowing stage, and the quantity to be rowed is controllable. However, in this solution, the glass bottles are fired and formed in batches, and the production volume is basically constant. However, the later inspection is carried out one by one. Therefore, a large number of glass bottles will accumulate at the exit of the forming area. If abnormalities occur during the inspection and packaging process and the feeding time is slowed down, the accumulation problem will be more serious. To solve this problem, the main method at present is to extend the conveying path in the forming area, but this method occupies a lot of space and is not suitable for workshops with limited space. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a round bottle conveying device to save space and alleviate conveying pressure during the sorting and conveying of round bottles.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a round bottle conveying device, comprising a first conveying mechanism, a buffer platform, and a buffer sorting mechanism. The buffer sorting mechanism includes a conveying platform and a guiding unit, as well as a sorting conveyor belt and multiple buffer conveyor belts disposed on the conveying platform. Each buffer conveyor belt is arranged to convey in the same direction, while the sorting conveyor belt and the buffer conveyor belt are arranged to convey in opposite directions. The first conveying mechanism and the buffer sorting mechanism are arranged horizontally and vertically and located on one side of the buffer conveyor belt. The buffer platform is disposed between the first conveying mechanism and the buffer sorting mechanism. The guiding unit includes a guiding structure for guiding the round bottles on the buffer conveyor belt to the sorting conveyor belt, and a diversion structure for diverting the round bottles.

[0005] Preferably, as an improvement, the guide structure includes a wedge-shaped guide plate and a flared guide plate. The wedge-shaped guide plate is disposed above the sorting conveyor belt and each buffer conveyor belt. The wedge-shaped guide plate is inclined along the direction of the sorting conveyor belt. The flared guide plate includes an inclined plate and a straight plate. The two ends of the inclined plate are respectively connected to the wedge-shaped guide plate and the straight plate.

[0006] Preferably, as an improvement, the inclined plate is inclined along the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt, and the distance between the straight plate and the side of the sorting conveyor belt near the buffer conveyor belt is one diameter of a circular bottle.

[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the diversion structure includes a diversion plate, with its two ends located above the sorting conveyor belt and the buffer conveyor belt, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the flow divider is located on the side of the inclined plate near the wedge-shaped guide plate, and the distance between the flow divider and the inclined plate is at least the sum of the diameters of two round bottles.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, both the inclined plate and the straight plate are provided with an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a support fixed to the side of the conveyor table, and an adjustment shaft is horizontally slidably connected to the support. The adjustment shaft is connected to the inclined plate and the straight plate, and the support is provided with a locking element for fastening the adjustment shaft.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the distance between the sorting conveyor belt and the buffer conveyor belt is less than 1 cm.

[0011] The principles and advantages of this solution:

[0012] By implementing this solution, glass round bottles conveyed from the forming area can be separated, sorted, and conveyed one by one within a limited space, while also achieving the following effects:

[0013] 1. Space saving: This solution eliminates the need for a large space to handle the numerous round glass bottles between the forming and testing areas. Multiple unidirectional buffer conveyors and reverse-direction sorting conveyors work together to buffer, queue, and automatically transport the bottles from the forming area. Especially when testing or packaging issues slow down the transport speed, the multiple parallel buffer conveyors are sufficient to buffer and automatically queue the numerous round glass bottles. This significantly saves limited space within the production workshop.

[0014] 2. To alleviate conveying pressure, this solution utilizes a combination of a reverse-oriented sorting conveyor belt, a buffer conveyor belt, a diverter plate, and a flared guide plate. This transfers a portion of the round bottles gathered in the wedge-shaped guide plate area to the sorting conveyor belt. When these bottles reach the straight plate, because the distance between the straight plate and the sorting conveyor belt is equal to the diameter of one bottle, only one bottle is conveyed to the detection area. Bottles dislodged from the sorting conveyor belt are then transferred back to the wedge-shaped guide plate area via the buffer conveyor belt to continue queuing. This further extends the conveying path within the same space. Simultaneously, it keeps bottles that failed to be successfully sorted in a continuous cycle, significantly reducing the conveying pressure on the bottles.

[0015] 3. When subsequent workstations (inspection area, packaging area, etc.) experience deceleration, this device does not need to decelerate or stop to wait and can still operate normally. Specifically: when a subsequent workstation experiences a speed jam, the sorting conveyor belt is in the conveying state, while the round bottles on it remain basically stationary. If some round bottles are pushed out by subsequent round bottles, they enter the buffer conveyor belt and are returned to queue. When the subsequent workstations return to normal, the round bottles continue to follow the sorting conveyor belt. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: round bottle 1, first conveyor mechanism 2, buffer platform 3, buffer conveyor belt 4, sorting conveyor belt 5, wedge guide plate 6, inclined plate 7, straight plate 8, diverter plate 9, support base 10, and adjusting shaft 11. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0019] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 As shown: A device for conveying round bottles includes a first conveying mechanism 2 and a buffer sorting mechanism. The buffer sorting mechanism includes a conveyor platform, a guide unit, a sorting conveyor belt 5, and multiple buffer conveyor belts 4. In this embodiment, there are four buffer conveyor belts 4 (hereinafter referred to as the first, second, third, and fourth buffer conveyor belts from left to right). The sorting conveyor belt 5 and the multiple buffer conveyor belts 4 are all mounted on the conveyor platform. The upper surface of the conveyor platform is a solid plane, which serves to support each conveyor belt and facilitates the transfer of round bottles 1 between the conveyor belts. The buffer conveyor belts 4 are arranged in the same direction, while the sorting conveyor belt 5 and the buffer conveyor belts 4 are arranged in opposite directions. The distance between each conveyor belt is 0.5 cm. The first conveying mechanism 2 is arranged horizontally and vertically with the buffer sorting mechanism and is located to the left of the buffer conveyor belts 4. The first conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey rows of round bottles 1 to the buffer conveyor belts 4. A buffer platform 3 is also provided between the first conveying mechanism 2 and the buffer sorting mechanism to prevent the round bottles 1 coming down from the first conveying mechanism 2 (which have forward inertia) from directly entering the vertically moving buffer conveyor belts 4, thus avoiding the problem of the round bottles 1 tipping over. The working surfaces of the first conveyor mechanism 2, the buffer platform 3, and the buffer conveyor belt 4 are flush with each other to ensure the smooth transfer of the round bottle 1. As a better option, the upper surface of the buffer platform 3 is an inclined surface sloping towards the buffer conveyor belt 4 at an angle of 10°-15°, which is more conducive to the smooth transfer of the round bottle.

[0020] The guiding unit includes a guiding structure for guiding the round bottles 1 on the buffer conveyor belt 4 to the sorting conveyor belt 5, and a diversion structure for diverting the round bottles 1. The guiding structure includes a wedge-shaped guide plate 6 and a flared guide plate. The wedge-shaped guide plate 6 is fixed to the conveyor table and located in the output direction of the buffer conveyor belt 4. The left end of the wedge-shaped guide plate 6 is located above the first buffer conveyor belt 4 on the left, and its right end is located above the sorting conveyor belt 5. The wedge-shaped guide plate 6 is inclined along the direction of the sorting conveyor belt 5 to transfer the round bottles 1 on the leftmost buffer conveyor belt 4 one by one to the sorting conveyor belt 5.

[0021] The flared guide plate is used to adjust the conveying width of the sorting conveyor belt 5 (i.e., the width of the number of round bottles 1 placed horizontally on the sorting conveyor belt 5). The flared guide plate is installed above the sorting conveyor belt 5 and includes an inclined plate 7 and a straight plate 8. One end of the inclined plate 7 is connected to the right end of the wedge-shaped guide plate 6. The inclined plate 7 is inclined along the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt 5 to gradually reduce the conveying width of the sorting conveyor belt 5. The straight plate 8 is connected to the other end of the inclined plate 7. The distance between the straight plate 8 and the left side of the sorting conveyor belt 5 is one diameter of a round bottle 1.

[0022] The diversion structure includes a diversion plate 9 fixedly installed on the conveyor platform. The diversion plate 9 is located on the side of the flared guide plate near the wedge-shaped guide plate 6. The two ends of the diversion plate 9 are located at the sorting conveyor belt 5 and the buffer conveyor belt 4, respectively. The distance between the right side of the diversion plate 9 and the inclined plate 7 is greater than or equal to the sum of the diameters of two round bottles 1. The left side of the diversion plate 9 is located on the third buffer conveyor belt 4. By setting up the diversion plate, it is beneficial to divert the round bottles separated from the sorting conveyor belt from the fourth buffer conveyor belt to the third buffer conveyor belt, and then transport them in an orderly queue, thus avoiding the direct accumulation of separated round bottles at the entrance of the sorting conveyor belt 5, which would cause a speed jam at that point.

[0023] Both the wedge-shaped guide plate 6 and the flared guide plate are equipped with adjustment mechanisms. The adjustment mechanisms include multiple support seats 10 fixed to the side of the conveyor table. Each support seat 10 is horizontally slidably connected to an adjustment shaft 11. The adjustment shaft 11 is connected to the wedge-shaped guide plate 6 and the straight plate 8. The support seat 10 is provided with threaded holes and threaded locking parts. The threaded holes are connected to the adjustment shaft 11. The adjustment shaft 11 is pressed by screwing on the locking parts.

[0024] The actual working process is as follows:

[0025] The arrows in the diagram indicate the conveying directions of each conveyor belt. After the round bottles 1 are fired and formed, they are intermittently and in rows sent to the first conveyor mechanism 2, and then conveyed to the buffer platform 3. When the buffer platform 3 is full of round bottles 1, the round bottles 1 sent by the first conveyor mechanism 2 push the front row of round bottles 1 into the first buffer conveyor belt 4 for further conveying. Each buffer conveyor belt 4 is a low-speed conveyor, not exceeding 2.5 m / min. When the round bottles 1 are conveyed to the wedge guide plate 6, they are transferred one by one from the first buffer conveyor belt 4 to the sorting conveyor belt 5. At this time, when many round bottles 1 pass through the channel between the diverter plate 9 and the wedge guide plate 6, at least two round bottles 1 can continue to be conveyed along the sorting conveyor belt 5, while the remaining round bottles 1 must continue to wait for conveying. With the tilting setting of the flared guide plate, the conveying width of the sorting conveyor belt 5 gradually decreases until only one round bottle 1 can be conveyed, thus completing the sorting and conveying of many round bottles 1. The round bottles 1 that are squeezed out by the flared guide plate are returned to the diverter plate 9 by the fourth buffer conveyor belt 4. The diverter plate 9 guides the round bottles 1 to the third buffer conveyor belt 4 for re-queueing and conveying. Through the cooperation of the diverter plate 9 and the flared guide plate, the round bottles 1 are kept in a cyclical motion, avoiding the accumulation of many round bottles 1 in one place and greatly reducing the conveying pressure of the round bottles 1.
