Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aerosol production technology, and in particular to an aerosol screening and recycling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Aerosol production has a strong technological background, especially in mechanical manufacturing. The emergence of automated packaging equipment allows the various components of aerosol to be accurately filled into containers in proportion. Subsequently, automated installation equipment is used to install the nozzles onto the aerosol and package it.

[0003] In existing technology, the installation of aerosol nozzles includes a conveyor track, an installation turntable, a feeding component, and an installation component. First, the aerosol is placed in the conveyor track equipped with a conveyor belt, which then transports the aerosol to the installation turntable. At this point, the feeding component aligns the nozzles with the installation turntables one-to-one. Finally, the installation component installs the nozzles onto the aerosol, and the aerosol after nozzle installation flows into the next dispensing process.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, in practical use, the unstable fit between the installation turntable and the installation components may cause some aerosols to fail to be installed at the nozzles. Existing automated installation equipment cannot recover the failed nozzles and aerosols, thus affecting subsequent packaging reinforcement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To facilitate the recycling of nozzles and aerosols that have failed to install, this application provides an aerosol screening and recycling mechanism.

[0006] The aerosol screening and recycling mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An aerosol screening and recycling mechanism includes a turntable assembly, a recycling assembly, and a conveying pipeline, wherein the conveying pipeline surrounds the turntable assembly and the recycling assembly.

[0008] The turntable assembly includes a first turntable, a second turntable, a third turntable, and a rotating shaft. The first turntable, the second turntable, and the third turntable are connected vertically via the rotating shaft. A drive motor is provided on the top of the first turntable. The first turntable is located on top of the second turntable, and the second turntable is located on top of the third turntable. The second turntable has several nozzle recovery holes and is inclined towards the ground and has a frustum-shaped design. The third turntable has several nozzle recovery holes and is inclined towards the ground and has a frustum-shaped design. A nozzle recovery drawer is provided at the bottom of the third turntable.

[0009] The recycling assembly includes a limiting protrusion, a barrier strip, and a collection box. A drop hole is provided on the inner wall of the conveying pipeline. The limiting protrusion is disposed on the inner wall of the conveying pipeline and faces the drop hole. The barrier strip is horizontally disposed along the length of the conveying pipeline and is located at the top of the drop hole. The height of the barrier strip is flush with the height of the aerosol after the nozzle is installed. The collection box is disposed at the bottom of the barrier strip.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, nozzles that fail to contact the aerosol will first fall from the first turntable to the surface of the second turntable. Since the drive motor drives the second turntable to rotate around its axis, the tilt angle of the second turntable causes the nozzles to fall from the nozzle recovery hole into the surface of the third turntable. Similarly, the nozzles then fall from the third turntable into the nozzle recovery drawer for unified collection. For aerosols without nozzles, when they are conveyed to the limiting protrusion, the lack of a nozzle creates a height difference between the aerosol and the barrier strip, preventing the barrier strip from effectively holding the aerosol without nozzles in place. This allows the aerosol without nozzles to fall through the drop hole into the collection bin, thus achieving the desired recycling effect.

[0011] Optionally, the first turntable has a plurality of nozzle contact grooves, which are distributed along the circumference of the first turntable.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzle can be abutted against the nozzle abutting groove and rotated by the first turntable, and rotated to the subsequent docking position with the aerosol. The nozzle that fails to dock can fall directly into the second turntable.

[0013] Optionally, the second turntable is provided with a plurality of first abutment grooves, which are distributed along the circumference of the second turntable, and each of the plurality of first abutment grooves corresponds to a plurality of nozzle abutment grooves.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the aerosol bottle can be abutted by the second turntable and driven to connect with the nozzle, and the nozzle that fails to connect can fall directly into the third turntable.

[0015] Optionally, the third turntable is provided with a plurality of second abutment grooves, which are distributed along the circumference of the third turntable, and the plurality of second abutment grooves correspond one-to-one with the plurality of first abutment grooves.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the aerosol is more firmly pressed together, and the nozzle contact groove, the first contact groove and the second contact groove are set in the vertical direction, which can improve the stability of the aerosol when rotating, thereby improving the nozzle docking efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, each of the first abutment grooves is provided with a first nozzle enclosure.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzles that fail to dock will not fall from the first contact groove into the outside of the turntable assembly, thus achieving a unified recycling effect for the turntable assembly and preventing the nozzles from affecting the working efficiency of other components.

[0019] Optionally, several of the second abutment grooves are provided with second nozzle enclosures.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzles that fail to dock will not fall from the second abutment groove into the outside of the turntable assembly, thus affecting the operation of other equipment.

[0021] Optionally, the conveying pipeline is provided with a discharge component, the discharge component and the nozzle abutment groove are provided with a height difference, and the discharge component is connected to the nozzle abutment groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzles placed in the feeding component can flow directly into the nozzle receiving groove, thereby achieving the effect of automated nozzle placement through the feeding component.

[0023] Optionally, the delivery pipeline is equipped with a nozzle mounting component, which is located at the top of the nozzle abutment groove and is equipped with an air pump.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzle mounting component is displaced vertically by an air pump, and the nozzle is installed on the aerosol by the vertical displacement of the nozzle mounting component.

[0025] Optionally, the barrier strip has a barrier part and a support part, the barrier part is connected to the support part by adjusting bolts, and the barrier part has a plurality of connection holes adapted to the support part.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the blocking range of the barrier can be adjusted to adapt to the contact with different types of nozzles, thereby improving economic efficiency.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. The nozzles that fail to come into contact with the aerosol will first fall from the first turntable to the surface of the second turntable. As the drive motor drives the second turntable to rotate around the shaft, the tilt angle of the second turntable causes the nozzles to fall from the nozzle recovery hole into the surface of the third turntable. Similarly, the nozzles then fall from the third turntable into the nozzle recovery drawer for unified collection. For aerosols without nozzles, when they are conveyed to the limiting protrusion, the height difference between the aerosol and the barrier strip due to the lack of a nozzle prevents the barrier strip from pressing the aerosol without a nozzle against it. This allows the aerosol without a nozzle to fall into the collection box through the drop hole, thus achieving the recycling effect.

[0029] 2. This ensures that nozzles that fail to dock successfully will not fall outside the turntable assembly, achieving a unified recycling effect for the turntable assembly and preventing nozzles from affecting the working efficiency of other components;

[0030] 3. The blocking range of the barrier can be adjusted to accommodate different types of nozzles, thus improving cost-effectiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] This application discloses an aerosol screening and recovery mechanism, referring to... Figure 1 It includes a frame, a turntable assembly 1, a recycling assembly 2, and a conveying pipeline 3, with the conveying pipeline 3 surrounding the turntable assembly 1 and the recycling assembly 2;

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The turntable assembly 1 includes a first turntable 11, a second turntable 12, a third turntable 13, and a rotating shaft 14. The first turntable 11, the second turntable 12, and the third turntable 13 are arranged horizontally in the vertical direction via the rotating shaft 14. The first turntable 11 is located at the top of the turntable assembly 1, followed by the second turntable 12 and the third turntable 13. A drive motor 15 is provided at the top of the first turntable 11. The stator of the drive motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the mover of the drive motor 15 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the first turntable 11, so that the rotating shaft 14 can drive the first turntable 11, the second turntable 12, and the third turntable 13 to rotate around the rotating shaft 14 via the drive motor 15. The first turntable 11 has five nozzle abutment grooves 101, which are distributed along the circumference of the first turntable 11. The nozzle abutment grooves 101 are used for the nozzles to abut against and are driven by the first turntable 11 to subsequent processing.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second turntable 12 has five first abutment grooves 102, which are distributed along the circumference of the second turntable 12, and all five first abutment grooves 102 are used to contain the top of the aerosol. Five first contact grooves 102 correspond one-to-one with five nozzle contact grooves 101. The second turntable 12 is provided with a first nozzle enclosure 16. All five first contact grooves 102 are surrounded by the first nozzle enclosure 16. Nozzles that fail to connect with the aerosol will be blocked by the first nozzle enclosure 16, reducing the possibility of them falling outside the turntable assembly 1 and affecting the normal operation of other components. The second turntable 12 is provided with three nozzle recovery holes 103. The second turntable 12 is tilted towards the ground and has a frustum-shaped design, so that nozzles that fail to connect with the aerosol will fall into the surface of the second turntable 12. At this time, the nozzles will be driven by the inertia generated by the rotation of the second turntable 12 and fall into the nozzle recovery holes 103 along the tilt direction of the second turntable 12.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The third turntable 13 has five second abutment grooves 104, which are distributed along the circumference of the turntable 13 and are used to contain the bottom of the aerosol. Each of the five second abutment grooves 104 corresponds to one of the five first abutment grooves 102, so that when the aerosol is delivered to the turntable assembly 1, it abuts against the first and second abutment grooves 102 and 104. As the drive motor 15 drives the turntable assembly 1, the aerosol is pressed against the first and second abutment grooves 102 and rotates with the turntable assembly 1. Each of the five second abutment grooves 104 is surrounded by a second nozzle enclosure 17. Nozzles that fail to connect with the aerosol are blocked by the second nozzle enclosure 17, preventing them from falling outside the turntable assembly 1 and affecting the operation of other components. The third turntable 13 has three nozzle recovery holes 103. The third turntable 13 is tilted towards the ground and has a frustum-shaped design. The bottom of the third turntable 13 also has a nozzle recovery drawer 18. The nozzles fall into the surface of the third turntable 13 through the nozzle recovery holes 103 of the second turntable 12. Then, due to the inertia generated by the rotation of the three turntables, they fall along the surface of the third turntable 13 from the nozzle recovery holes 103 into the nozzle recovery drawer 18. The nozzle recovery drawer 18 collects and recovers the nozzles that could not be successfully installed.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The recycling component 2 includes a limiting protrusion 21, a barrier strip 22, and a collection box 23. A drop hole 201 is provided on the inner wall of the conveying pipeline 3. The limiting protrusion 21 is positioned on the inner wall of the conveying pipeline 3, facing the drop hole 201, to push the aerosol passing through and to the drop hole 201. The barrier strip 22 is horizontally positioned along the length of the conveying pipeline 3, and is located at the top of the drop hole 201. The height of the barrier strip 22 is flush with the height of the aerosol after the nozzle is installed, and the width of the barrier strip 22 is less than the height of the nozzle. The barrier strip 22 has a blocking part 202 and a supporting part 203. The blocking part 202 is connected to the supporting part 203 by adjusting bolts, and the blocking part 202 has several connecting holes 204 that are adapted to the supporting part 203. By adjusting the connection between the barrier section 202 and different connecting holes 204, the blocking range of the barrier section 202 can be adjusted to accommodate different types of nozzles, thereby improving economic efficiency. A collection box 23 is located at the bottom of the barrier strip 22 and is used to collect aerosols without nozzles. With this design, when aerosols without nozzles are transported to the limiting protrusion 21 through the conveying pipe 3, they are pushed by the limiting protrusion 21 to the drop hole 201. At this point, because the aerosols lack nozzles, there is a height difference between them and the barrier strip 22, preventing the barrier strip 22 from effectively holding the aerosols in place and allowing them to continue transporting. This causes the aerosols without nozzles to fall into the collection box 23, achieving the recycling effect.

[0044] The delivery pipeline 3 delivers the aerosol via two conveyor belts (not shown in the figure). The two conveyor belts are located at the input and output ends of the turntable assembly 1, respectively. Thus, the aerosol is delivered to the turntable assembly via one conveyor belt and output from the turntable assembly via the other conveyor belt.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 The conveying pipeline 3 is equipped with a feeding component 31. The feeding component 31 and the nozzle abutment groove 101 have a height difference. The feeding component 31 is connected to the nozzle abutment groove 101 and is used to convey the nozzle. In this embodiment, the feeding component 31 is a vibrating plate. Whenever the first turntable 11 rotates, the nozzle abutment groove 101 will connect with the feeding component 31. Due to the height difference, the nozzle will fall into the nozzle abutment groove 101. As the first turntable 11 rotates, the nozzle, the conveying pipeline 3 and the nozzle abutment groove 101 are pressed together, so that the nozzle will not fall off due to the rotation of the first turntable 11, thereby achieving the effect of automated nozzle transportation.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 The delivery pipeline 3 is equipped with a nozzle mounting component 32, which is located at the top of the nozzle abutment groove 101. In this embodiment, the nozzle mounting component 32 is a cylinder. The nozzle mounting component 32 is driven by an air pump, which allows the nozzle mounting component 32 to be displaced vertically. The force applied by the displacement of the nozzle mounting component 32 directly mounts the nozzle onto the top of the aerosol, thereby achieving automated aerosol installation and improving work efficiency.

[0047] The implementation principle of an aerosol screening and recycling mechanism according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: First, the aerosol without nozzles is placed in the conveying pipeline 3. The aerosol without nozzles is conveyed to the turntable assembly 1 through the conveying pipeline 3. At this time, the nozzle is conveyed to the first turntable 11 by the feeding component 31 for clamping and then conveyed to the nozzle mounting component 32. The aerosol without nozzles is clamped by the second turntable 12 and the third turntable 13 and conveyed to the nozzle mounting component 32 together with the nozzle. The aerosol with successfully installed nozzles continues to be conveyed to the subsequent processes through the conveying pipeline 3. Although the aerosol that failed to install the nozzle is still in the delivery pipeline 3, when it passes through the recycling component 2, the aerosol is pushed by the limiting protrusion 21. There is a height difference between the aerosol that failed to install the nozzle and the barrier strip 22, so that the barrier strip 22 cannot hold the aerosol without the nozzle installed tightly. The aerosol without the nozzle installed falls into the collection box 23 through the drop hole 201, thus achieving the recycling effect.

[0048] For nozzles that fail to install successfully, such as those output from the discharge unit 31 that are not aligned with the nozzle abutment groove 101, they will fall directly into the nozzle collection drawer 18, or first be hoisted from the first turntable 11 onto the surface of the second turntable 12. Since the second turntable 12 rotates around the pivot 14, the nozzles on the surface of the second turntable 12 will be moved. At this time, the nozzles will fall into the surface of the third turntable 13 through the collection hole along the tilt angle direction. Similarly, through the inertia of the third turntable 13, the nozzles will fall into the nozzle collection drawer 18 through the nozzle collection hole 103 provided on the third turntable 13 for unified collection.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
