Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an automatic cream bottle feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic feeding machines (automatic material handling equipment) are key pieces of equipment in industrial production, mainly used for the automatic conveying, positioning, and supply of materials to improve production efficiency and reduce manual intervention. In a cream bottle production line, the automatic feeding machine is mainly used to transport cream bottles to the material frames on the conveyor belt for subsequent processing.

[0003] In existing automatic feeding machines, when conveying cream bottles to the material frame on the conveyor belt, the bottles fall directly from the top of the machine into the bottom of the frame due to the significant height difference. This results in strong collisions between the bottles and the bottom of the frame, or between the bottles themselves, easily causing damage or deformation. Therefore, to address these technical problems, an automatic cream bottle feeding machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes an automatic cream bottle feeding machine that reduces the height difference of cream bottles when they fall into the feeding frame, thereby reducing collisions between cream bottles and the bottom of the feeding frame or between cream bottles, thus preventing damage or deformation of the cream bottles.

[0005] Automatic cream bottle feeder, including:

[0006] Skirt plate loading machine;

[0007] The material guiding assembly includes a first material guiding frame and a second material guiding frame. The first material guiding frame is inclined and its high end is hinged to the material discharge port at the high end of the skirt plate loading machine. A telescopic groove is provided at its bottom end. One end of the second material guiding frame is slidably disposed within the telescopic groove along the length direction of the first material guiding frame.

[0008] The temporary storage component includes a receiving hopper, a valve assembly, and a spring. The receiving hopper is slidably mounted on the skirt plate feeder in a vertical direction and is located below the second guide frame and hinged to the second guide frame. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the receiving hopper. The valve assembly is mounted on the receiving hopper and is used to seal or open the discharge port. The spring connects the receiving hopper and the skirt plate feeder and is used to apply an upward thrust to the receiving hopper.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned automatic cream bottle feeding machine are:

[0010] When the cream bottles are discharged from the discharge port, they fall into the receiving hopper along the first and second guide frames. As the number of cream bottles in the receiving hopper gradually increases, the weight of the hopper gradually increases and it moves downward. At this time, the spring is gradually compressed and contracts, the first guide frame rotates relative to the discharge port, and the second guide frame slides relative to the first guide frame. When the receiving hopper moves downward to the bottom of the material frame, the valve assembly is driven to open the discharge port. At this time, the cream bottles in the receiving hopper gradually fall into the material frame through the discharge port, thereby gradually reducing the weight of the receiving hopper. At this time, the reaction force of the spring causes the receiving hopper to gradually move upward. When all the cream bottles in the receiving hopper are discharged, the receiving hopper returns to its original position, thereby reducing the height difference of the cream bottles when they fall into the material frame, reducing the collision between the cream bottles and the bottom of the material frame or between cream bottles, and thus avoiding damage or deformation of the cream bottles.

[0011] In one embodiment, the material guiding assembly further includes an elastic pad; the elastic pad is disposed on the inner surfaces of the first material guiding frame and the discharge port, and covers the hinge of the first material guiding frame and the discharge port, and the inner surface of the elastic pad is flush with the inner surfaces of the first material guiding frame and the discharge port.

[0012] In one embodiment, mounting rods are provided on both sides of the discharge port, and guide rods are provided at both ends of the receiving hopper. The two sets of guide rods can slide through the two sets of mounting rods in a vertical direction, and each set of guide rods is provided with a limiting plate at its top. The two sets of guide rods are fitted with springs, and the two ends of the springs abut against the top surface of the mounting rod and the bottom surface of the limiting plate, respectively.

[0013] In one embodiment, both sets of limiting discs are threadedly connected to the periphery of the top ends of the two sets of guide rods, and rotating the limiting discs can drive the limiting discs to move axially along the guide rods.

[0014] In one embodiment, multiple sets of grips are evenly arranged around the periphery of the limiting disc.

[0015] In one embodiment, both sets of mounting rods are threaded with fixing bolts, and both sets of guide rods are provided with fixing holes, through which the fixing bolts can pass.

[0016] In one embodiment, the valve assembly includes a baffle and a drive assembly; a receiving groove is provided on one side of the discharge port, one end of the baffle is slidably disposed in the receiving groove and can seal or open the discharge port, and the drive assembly is disposed on the receiving hopper and connected to the baffle for driving the baffle to slide.

The motor is disposed around the hopper, and the screw is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove and is arranged along the sliding direction of the baffle. One end of the screw is threadedly connected to the baffle, and the other end is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An automatic cream bottle feeder according to one embodiment includes a skirt-mounted feeder 1, a guiding assembly, and a temporary storage assembly. Specifically, the guiding assembly includes a first guiding frame 10 and a second guiding frame 101. The first guiding frame 10 is inclined and its high end is hinged to the discharge port 11 at the high end of the skirt-mounted feeder 1. A telescopic groove 102 is provided at its bottom end. One end of the second guiding frame 101 is slidably disposed within the telescopic groove 102 along the length direction of the first guiding frame 10. The temporary storage assembly includes a receiving hopper 20, a valve assembly, and a spring 201. The receiving hopper 20 is slidably disposed on the skirt-mounted feeder 1 in a vertical direction and is located below and hinged to the second guiding frame 101. A discharge port 202 is provided at the bottom end of the receiving hopper 20. The valve assembly is disposed on the receiving hopper 20 for sealing or opening the discharge port 202. The spring 201 connects the receiving hopper 20 and the skirt-mounted feeder 1 to apply an upward thrust to the receiving hopper 20.

[0031] In the above embodiment, when the cream bottles (not shown) are discharged from the discharge port 11, they fall along the first guide frame 10 and the second guide frame 101 into the receiving hopper 20. As the number of cream bottles in the receiving hopper 20 gradually increases, the weight of the receiving hopper 20 gradually increases and it moves downward. At this time, the spring 201 is gradually compressed and contracts, the first guide frame 10 rotates relative to the discharge port 11, and the second guide frame 101 slides relative to the first guide frame 10. When the receiving hopper 20 moves downward to the bottom of the material frame, the drive valve is activated. When the door assembly opens the discharge port 202, the cream bottles in the receiving hopper 20 gradually fall into the material frame through the discharge port 202, thus gradually reducing the weight of the receiving hopper 20. At this time, the reaction force of the spring 201 causes the receiving hopper 20 to gradually move upward, and when all the cream bottles in the receiving hopper 20 are discharged, the receiving hopper 20 returns to its original position. This reduces the height difference of the cream bottles when they fall into the material frame, reduces the collision between the cream bottles and the bottom of the material frame or between cream bottles, and thus avoids damage or deformation of the cream bottles. It is understood that the skirt plate feeding machine 1 is existing technology, and its working principle will not be elaborated further.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the material guiding assembly further includes an elastic pad 103; the elastic pad 103 is disposed on the inner surface of the first material guiding frame 10 and the discharge port 11, and covers the hinge of the first material guiding frame 10 and the discharge port 11, and the inner surface of the elastic pad 103 is flush with the inner surface of the first material guiding frame 10 and the discharge port 11.

[0033] By setting the elastic pad 103, the gap generated after the first guide frame 10 rotates relative to the discharge port 11 can be blocked, thus preventing the cream bottle from getting stuck in the gap when it slides from the discharge port 11 into the first guide frame 10.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment, mounting rods 12 are provided on both sides of the discharge port 11, and guide rods 203 are provided at both ends of the receiving hopper 20. The two sets of guide rods 203 can slide through the two sets of mounting rods 12 in the vertical direction, and a limit plate 204 is provided at the top of each set of guide rods 203. Springs 201 are sleeved on the two sets of guide rods 203, and the two ends of the springs 201 abut against the top surface of the mounting rod 12 and the bottom surface of the limit plate 204, respectively.

[0035] By cooperating with the mounting rod 12, the stability of the receiving hopper 20 sliding in the vertical direction can be improved, and the guide rod 203 can guide the extension and retraction of the spring 201, thereby improving the service life of the spring 201.

[0036] Based on the above embodiment, further, both sets of limiting discs 204 are threadedly connected to the top periphery of the two sets of guide rods 203. Rotating the limiting disc 204 can drive the limiting disc 204 to move axially along the guide rod 203. The limiting disc 204 is detachable, which facilitates the replacement of the spring 201 after the limiting disc 204 is removed. Moreover, by rotating the limiting disc 204 to move closer to or away from the mounting rod 12, the preload applied by the limiting disc 204 to the spring 201 can be adjusted, which is convenient for adjustment according to needs.

[0037] Based on the above embodiment, further, multiple sets of grips 2041 are evenly arranged around the periphery of the limiting disk 204. Holding the grips 2041 makes it easy to drive the limiting disk 204 to rotate, which is convenient and effortless.

[0038] Based on the above embodiment, further, both sets of mounting rods 12 are threaded with fixing bolts 13, and both sets of guide rods 203 are provided with fixing holes 2031, through which the fixing bolts 13 can pass. By rotating the fixing knob to make it pass through the fixing hole 2031, the guide rod 203 can be fixed to the mounting rod 12, thereby preventing the guide rod 203 from slipping downwards off the mounting rod 12 when replacing the spring 201, making spring 201 replacement convenient.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the valve assembly includes a baffle 30 and a drive assembly. A receiving groove 2021 is provided on one side of the discharge port 202. One end of the baffle 30 is slidably disposed in the receiving groove 2021, and can seal or open the discharge port 202. The drive assembly is disposed on the receiving hopper 20 and connected to the baffle 30, and is used to drive the baffle 30 to slide. The discharge port 202 can be sealed or opened by driving the baffle 30 to slide through the drive assembly, making discharge convenient.

[0040] Specifically, in the above embodiments, the driving assembly includes a motor 301 and a screw 302. The motor 301 is disposed around the receiving hopper 20, and the screw 302 is rotatably disposed within the receiving groove 2021, sliding along the direction of the baffle 30. One end of the screw 302 is threadedly connected to the baffle 30, and the other end is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 301. The motor 301 drives the screw 302 to rotate, engaging with the threaded connection of the screw to the baffle 30, thus driving the baffle 30 to move. Conversely, the motor 301 drives the screw 302 to rotate in the opposite direction, engaging with the threaded connection of the screw to the baffle 30, thus driving the baffle 30 to move in the opposite direction. This facilitates the movement of the baffle 30, making it easy to seal or open the discharge port 202. Stopping the motor 301 stops the screw 302 from rotating, and the screw 302, engaged with the threaded connection of the screw to the baffle 30, thus fixing the baffle 30. This facilitates the adjustment of the size of the open discharge port 202 as needed, thereby allowing for adjustment of the discharge speed.

[0041] The specific implementation method of the above-mentioned automatic cream bottle feeding machine is as follows:

[0042] When the cream bottles are discharged from the discharge port 11, they fall along the first guide frame 10 and the second guide frame 101 into the receiving hopper 20. As the number of cream bottles in the receiving hopper 20 gradually increases, the weight of the receiving hopper 20 gradually increases and it moves downward. At this time, the spring 201 is gradually compressed and contracts, the first guide frame 10 rotates relative to the discharge port 11, and the second guide frame 101 slides relative to the first guide frame 10. When the receiving hopper 20 moves downward to the bottom of the material frame, the motor 301 drives the screw 302 to rotate and engage with the baffle 30. The drive baffle 30 moves to open the discharge port 202. At this time, the cream bottles in the receiving hopper 20 gradually fall into the material frame through the discharge port 202, thereby gradually reducing the weight of the receiving hopper 20. At this time, the reaction force of the spring 201 causes the receiving hopper 20 to gradually move upward. When the cream bottles in the receiving hopper 20 are completely discharged, the receiving hopper 20 returns to its original position, thereby reducing the height difference of the cream bottles when they fall into the material frame, reducing the collision between the cream bottles and the bottom of the material frame or between cream bottles, and thus avoiding damage or deformation of the cream bottles.
