Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle production, and in particular to an anti-tipping structure for a bridge conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] In glass bottle production workshops, multiple production units such as furnaces, bottle-making machines, cooling equipment, and inspection equipment are often required. These devices occupy a large area, making the available space in the workshop very limited. In such an environment, how to transfer glass bottles from the production area to the packaging area without affecting the production process has become a difficult problem that requires careful planning. To solve the problem of space constraints, existing technologies have introduced bridging conveyor belts, which are used to cross the existing production area so that the glass bottles can enter the packaging area for packaging, thereby saving space and optimizing the layout.
[0003] Because the conveyor belts in the production area and the bridge conveyor belts have different conveying speeds, the conveyor belts in the packaging area are usually slower to accommodate more delicate operations such as stacking and laminating. Therefore, the bridge conveyor belts need to match the speed of the packaging area conveyor belts. The conveyor belts in the production area are faster because faster conveying helps maintain the continuity of the production line, reduces downtime of the bottle-making machine, and ensures that glass bottles can quickly enter subsequent processes such as cooling or inspection. Therefore, when glass bottles are transferred from the production area conveyor belt to the bridge conveyor belt, the slower conveying speed causes the glass bottles to slide forward due to inertia. This is especially true for glass bottles with a wide body and a narrow bottom, where the center of gravity is in the body. When the glass bottles are subjected to lateral forces, they are prone to tipping over. Moreover, glass bottles are transported in batches when transferred to the bridge conveyor belt. If any glass bottle tip over, it will cause adjacent glass bottles to tip over as well, resulting in glass bottle breakage or production line stoppage, affecting production efficiency and glass bottle quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-tipping bottle structure for a bridge conveyor belt. The purpose is to solve the technical problem that glass bottles with a wide body and a narrow bottom, whose center of gravity is in the body, are prone to tipping over when subjected to lateral forces.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] An anti-tipping structure for a bridge conveyor belt includes a supporting base frame. A bridge conveyor belt body is mounted on the top of the supporting base frame. An adjusting seat is also mounted on the top of the supporting base frame. An adjusting cavity is formed at the bottom of the adjusting seat. The bridge conveyor belt body is located inside the adjusting cavity. A limiting top plate is slidably connected inside the adjusting cavity. The limiting top plate and the bridge conveyor belt body are separated by a limiting interval. A movable cylinder is mounted on the top of the adjusting seat. The piston rod of the movable cylinder passes through the adjusting cavity, connecting the piston rod of the movable cylinder to the limiting top plate.
[0007] The main function of the limiting top plate is to limit the top of the glass bottle during the conveyor belt transfer. When the glass bottle is transferred from the production area conveyor belt to the bridge conveyor belt, the movable cylinder drives the limiting top plate to move downward. The position of the limiting top plate is adjusted to be in close contact with the bottle mouth or to maintain an appropriate distance, so that the limiting interval matches the height of the glass bottle. Thus, when the glass bottle is subjected to lateral force due to the slowing of the conveying speed, the limiting top plate can provide additional support for the bottle mouth, preventing the glass bottle from tipping over.
[0008] Furthermore, in this application, an installation plate is slidably connected inside the adjustment cavity, the piston rod of the movable cylinder is connected to the installation plate, and extension side plates extend from both sides of the bottom of the installation plate. The limiting top plate is located between the extension side plates on both sides of the bottom of the installation plate. A first fixing hole is opened inside the extension side plate, and a second fixing hole is opened on both sides of the limiting top plate. A fixing bolt passes through the first fixing hole, and the fixing bolt is threadedly engaged with the adjacent second fixing hole.
[0009] When the limiting top plate is in contact with the glass bottle for a long time, it will cause damage to the limiting top plate. If the limiting top plate is damaged, it will not be able to limit the glass bottle properly. Therefore, when the limiting top plate is damaged, the fixing bolt is unscrewed and the fixing bolt is removed from the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole, so that the damaged limiting top plate can be replaced and the limiting top plate can be used to limit the glass bottle properly.
[0010] Furthermore, in this application, the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with multiple positioning slots, and the top of the limiting top plate is provided with multiple positioning pins, and the multiple positioning pins are respectively inserted into the multiple positioning slots.
[0011] When multiple positioning pins are inserted into multiple positioning slots respectively, the limiting top plate is quickly and accurately positioned on the mounting plate, ensuring the correct position of the limiting top plate.
[0012] Furthermore, in this application, a protective pad is provided at the bottom of the limiting top plate. The protective pad is made of flexible material and is located inside the limiting interval.
[0013] Furthermore, in this application, the material of the protective pad is plastic.
[0014] Furthermore, in this application, the top of the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of guide slide rods, and the top of the adjusting seat is provided with a plurality of guide slide grooves, the guide slide grooves are connected to the adjusting cavity, and the plurality of guide slide rods are respectively slidably engaged with the plurality of guide slide grooves.
[0015] Furthermore, in this application, one end of the guide slide rod is provided with a limiting block, the size of which is larger than the size of the guide slide groove, and the limiting block is located above the adjusting seat.
[0016] Furthermore, in this application, one end of the adjustment seat is engraved with an adjustment scale, and the length of the adjustment scale is consistent with the height of the adjustment cavity.
[0017] Furthermore, in this application, ventilation holes are provided on both sides of the adjusting seat, and the ventilation holes are connected to the limiting interval.
[0018] Furthermore, in this application, the bridge conveyor belt body is made of heat-resistant material.
[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The main function of the limiting top plate is to limit the top of the glass bottle during the conveyor belt transfer. When the glass bottle is transferred from the production area conveyor belt to the bridge conveyor belt, the movable cylinder drives the limiting top plate to move downward. The position of the limiting top plate is adjusted to be in close contact with the bottle mouth or to maintain an appropriate distance, so that the limiting interval matches the height of the glass bottle. Thus, when the glass bottle is subjected to lateral force due to the slowing of the conveying speed, the limiting top plate can provide additional support for the bottle mouth, preventing the glass bottle from tipping over.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4In some specific embodiments, an anti-tipping structure for a bridge conveyor belt includes a support base 1, a bridge conveyor belt body 2 on the top of the support base 1, an adjustment seat 4 on the top of the support base 1, an adjustment cavity 3 at the bottom of the adjustment seat 4, the bridge conveyor belt body 2 located inside the adjustment cavity 3, a limiting top plate 10 slidably connected inside the adjustment cavity 3, the limiting top plate 10 and the bridge conveyor belt body 2 forming a limiting interval 20, so that the limiting interval 20 matches the height of the glass bottle, and a movable cylinder 7 on the top of the adjustment seat 4, the piston rod of the movable cylinder 7 penetrating into the adjustment cavity 3, so that the piston rod of the movable cylinder 7 is connected to the limiting top plate 10.
[0032] Through the above technical solution, the main function of the limiting top plate 10 is to limit the top of the glass bottle being transported by the bridge conveyor belt body 2. When the glass bottle is transferred from the conveyor belt in the production area to the bridge conveyor belt body 2, the movable cylinder 7 drives the limiting top plate 10 to move downward. The position of the limiting top plate 10 is adjusted to be in close contact with the bottle mouth or to maintain an appropriate distance. Thus, when the glass bottle is subjected to lateral force due to the slowdown in the conveying speed, the limiting top plate 10 can provide additional support for the bottle mouth, preventing the glass bottle from tipping over.
[0033] Reference Figures 2-5 In some specific embodiments, an installation plate 8 is slidably connected inside the adjusting cavity 3, the piston rod of the movable cylinder 7 is connected to the installation plate 8, and extension side plates 9 extend from both sides of the bottom of the installation plate 8. A limiting top plate 10 is located between the extension side plates 9 on both sides of the bottom of the installation plate 8. A first fixing hole 12 is opened inside the extension side plate 9, and a second fixing hole 13 is opened on both sides of the limiting top plate 10. A fixing bolt 14 passes through the first fixing hole 12, and the fixing bolt 14 is threadedly engaged with the adjacent second fixing hole 13.
[0034] With the above technical solution, when the limiting top plate 10 is in contact with the glass bottle for a long time, it will cause the limiting top plate 10 to be damaged. If the limiting top plate 10 is damaged, it will not be able to limit the glass bottle normally. Therefore, when the limiting top plate 10 is damaged, the fixing bolt 14 is unscrewed and the fixing bolt 14 is disengaged from the first fixing hole 12 and the second fixing hole 13, so as to facilitate the replacement of the damaged limiting top plate 10 and ensure that the limiting top plate 10 can limit the glass bottle normally.
[0035] Reference Figures 3-4 In some specific embodiments, the bottom of the mounting plate 8 is provided with multiple positioning slots 16, and the top of the limiting top plate 10 is provided with multiple positioning pins 15, which are respectively inserted into the multiple positioning slots 16.
[0036] Through the above technical solution, when multiple positioning pins 15 are inserted into multiple positioning slots 16 respectively, the limiting top plate 10 is quickly and accurately positioned on the mounting plate 8, ensuring the correct position of the limiting top plate 10.
[0037] Reference Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, a protective pad 11 is provided at the bottom of the limiting top plate 10. The protective pad 11 is made of flexible material and is located inside the limiting interval 20.
[0038] With the above technical solution, when the limiting top plate 10 limits the glass bottle, the limiting top plate 10 will come into contact with the glass bottle. The flexible material can reduce the friction between the glass bottle and the limiting top plate 10, prevent scratches or wear on the bottle mouth, and maintain the appearance quality of the glass bottle.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the protective pad 11 is made of plastic.
[0040] Through the above technical solutions, plastic is resistant to many chemicals and is not easily corroded, making it less likely to react when glass bottles come into contact with plastic; and plastic has good wear resistance and can withstand long-term friction without being easily damaged.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-4 In some specific embodiments, the top of the mounting plate 8 is provided with multiple guide slide rods 17, and the top of the adjusting seat 4 is provided with multiple guide slide grooves 19. The guide slide grooves 19 are connected to the adjusting cavity 3, and the multiple guide slide rods 17 are respectively slidably engaged with the multiple guide slide grooves 19.
[0042] Through the above technical solution, by having multiple guide slide rods 17 slide in conjunction with multiple guide slide grooves 19, it can be ensured that the mounting plate 8 maintains a precise movement trajectory during the adjustment process, so that the limiting top plate 10 can be precisely moved to the required position.
[0043] Reference Figures 1-4 In some specific embodiments, a limiting block 18 is provided at one end of the guide slide rod 17. The size of the limiting block 18 is larger than the size of the guide slide groove 19, and the limiting block 18 is located above the adjusting seat 4.
[0044] Through the above technical solution, since the size of the limiting block 18 is larger than that of the guide groove 19, it can effectively prevent the guide rod 17 from accidentally falling out of the guide groove 19 during the downward sliding process, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the guide rod 17.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 In some specific embodiments, one end of the adjustment seat 4 is engraved with an adjustment scale 5, and the length of the adjustment scale 5 is consistent with the height of the adjustment cavity 3.
[0046] Through the above technical solution, the adjustment scale 5 provides an intuitive visual reference, enabling the operator to accurately know the current position of the limiting top plate 10, and to precisely adjust the limiting top plate 10 to the required limiting position of the glass bottle.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 In some specific embodiments, ventilation holes 6 are provided on both sides of the adjusting seat 4, and the ventilation holes 6 are connected to the limiting interval 20.
[0048] With the above technical solution, when the glass bottle rubs against the limiting top plate 10, a certain amount of heat will be generated; and ventilation holes 6 are provided on both sides of the adjusting seat 4. These ventilation holes 6 allow air to flow between the adjusting seat 4 and the limiting interval 20, which means that air can flow in from one side of the adjusting seat 4, pass through the limiting interval 20, and then flow out from the other side, thereby dissipating the heat generated by friction and avoiding heat accumulation.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 In some specific embodiments, the conveyor belt body 2 is made of heat-resistant material.
[0050] Through the above technical solutions, the heat-resistant bridge conveyor belt body 2 reduces the risk of material aging, wear or structural failure caused by high temperature, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the bridge conveyor belt body 2.

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 process, method, article, or apparatus.
