Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of packaging, and in particular to the technical field of empty bottle turning and blowing machines. Background Technology

[0002] Before filling or refilling empty bottles with other solid materials, it is necessary to remove dust, hair, paper scraps, and other debris from the inside of the empty bottles to prevent these debris from contaminating the materials to be filled or refilled.

[0003] Existing patent CN220970257U discloses a mouthwash bottle blowing machine. It utilizes a second cylinder and a clamping block to hold the bottle between the clamping block and one of the baffles. The bottle is flipped over using two flip-up baffles, which, together with the air nozzle, thoroughly remove water stains from the inverted bottle. The baffles can be flipped again to place the bottle on a conveyor for transport, improving the efficiency of water stain removal. Although this device can also blow away dust, hair, paper scraps, and other debris from the inside of empty bottles, it is difficult to ensure that the bottle is transported to the clamping position during transport, and the bottle is easily damaged due to incorrect positioning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing an empty bottle turning and blowing machine, which enables the device to feed, clamp, turn and blow empty bottles, and the empty bottle feeding position is accurate and there will be no misalignment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an empty bottle tipping and blowing machine, which includes a blowing chamber, a conveyor belt, a clamping mechanism, a blowing assembly, and a driving mechanism. The conveyor belt passes through the blowing chamber, which is equipped with a clamping mechanism and a blowing assembly. The blowing chamber is also equipped with a driving mechanism connected to the clamping mechanism, which drives the clamping mechanism to rotate.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping mechanism comprises a mounting frame, a movable clamping bar, a fixed clamping bar, and a first cylinder. The movable and fixed clamping bars are arranged opposite to each other and are both located above the conveyor belt. A long clamping area is formed between the movable and fixed clamping bars, and the length direction of the clamping area is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. Several clamping grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the movable and fixed clamping bars. The clamping grooves are arc-shaped, and the clamping grooves on the movable clamping bar correspond one-to-one with the clamping grooves on the fixed clamping bar. Two corresponding clamping grooves form a clamping unit. The fixed clamping bar is fixed to the frame, and the first cylinder is connected to the side of the movable clamping bar away from the fixed clamping bar. The first cylinder is fixed to the frame.

[0007] Preferably, when the clamping mechanism clamps the empty bottles, there is a gap of 0mm-2mm between adjacent empty bottles.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the mounting bracket is a top plate with a clearance channel. When the movable clamping bar and the fixed clamping bar clamp the empty bottle, the empty bottle is located directly below the clearance channel.

[0009] Preferably, the drive mechanism consists of a servo motor, a reducer, and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the purge chamber, the servo motor is mounted in the purge chamber, the servo motor is connected to a reducer, the output end of the reducer is connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the mounting bracket.

[0010] Preferably, the purging assembly and the conveyor belt are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft, and the purging assembly is provided with a number of purging pipes that correspond one-to-one with the clamping unit.

[0011] Preferably, the purging chamber is provided with two blocking mechanisms, which are located at the feed end and discharge end of the clamping mechanism, respectively. The blocking mechanism consists of a second cylinder and a baffle. The second cylinder is fixed in the purging chamber and connected to the baffle. The direction in which the second cylinder drives the baffle to move is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention relates to an empty bottle turning and blowing machine, which includes a blowing chamber 1, a conveyor belt 2, a clamping mechanism 3, a blowing assembly 4 and a driving mechanism. The conveyor belt 2 passes through the blowing chamber 1. The blowing chamber 1 is provided with a clamping mechanism 3 and a blowing assembly 4. The blowing chamber 1 is provided with a driving mechanism, which is connected to the clamping mechanism 3 and drives the clamping mechanism 3 to rotate.

[0022] The clamping mechanism 3 consists of a mounting frame, a movable clamping bar 32, a fixed clamping bar 31, and a first cylinder 33. The movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31 are arranged opposite to each other and are both located above the conveyor belt 2. A long clamping area is formed between the movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31. The length direction of the clamping area is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. Several clamping grooves 30 are provided on the opposite sides of the movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31. The clamping grooves 30 are arc-shaped. The clamping grooves 30 on the movable clamping bar 32 and the clamping grooves 30 on the fixed clamping bar 31 correspond one-to-one. Two corresponding clamping grooves 30 form a clamping unit. The fixed clamping bar 31 is fixed to the frame. The first cylinder 33 is connected to the side of the movable clamping bar 32 away from the fixed clamping bar 31. The first cylinder 33 is fixed to the frame.

[0023] When the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the empty bottle, there is a gap of 0mm-2mm between adjacent empty bottles.

[0024] The top of the mounting bracket is a top plate 35, and a clearance channel 36 is provided on the top plate 35. When the movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31 clamp the empty bottle, the empty bottle is located directly below the clearance channel.

[0025] The drive mechanism consists of a servo motor 5, a reducer 51, and a rotating shaft 52. The rotating shaft 52 is rotatably installed in the purge chamber 1. The servo motor 5 is installed in the purge chamber 1. The servo motor 5 is connected to a reducer 51. The output end of the reducer 51 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 52. The rotating shaft 52 is fixed to the mounting bracket.

[0026] The purging assembly 4 and the conveyor belt 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft 52. The purging assembly 4 is provided with a number of purging pipes 40 that correspond one-to-one with the clamping unit. The purging pipes 40 blow out negative ion wind.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] To ensure that empty bottles are transported to their designated positions and to prevent them from being damaged, the purge chamber 1 is equipped with two blocking mechanisms. The two blocking mechanisms are located at the feed end and discharge end of the clamping mechanism 3, respectively. The blocking mechanism consists of a second cylinder 11 and a baffle 12. The second cylinder 11 is fixed inside the purge chamber 1 and is connected to the baffle 12. The direction in which the second cylinder 11 drives the baffle 12 to move is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The movement trajectory of the baffle 12 interferes with the movement trajectory of the empty bottles on the conveyor belt 2.

[0029] The gap between the baffle 12 and the adjacent empty bottle held by the clamping mechanism 3 is 0.1-2mm.

[0030] Example 3:

[0031] To prevent the supply of empty bottles from being interrupted on the conveyor belt 2, a sensing device 13 is provided in the purging chamber 1. The sensing device 13 can be an infrared ranging sensor. The sensing device 13 is located upstream of the blocking mechanism at the feeding end of the clamping mechanism 3. The distance between the sensing device 13 and the baffle 12 is less than the outer diameter of the empty bottle.

[0032] The conveyor belt 2, clamping mechanism 3, purging assembly 4, second cylinder 11 and sensing device 13 are all controlled by the control device.

[0033] The working process of this utility model:

[0034] In operation, the empty bottle tilting and blowing machine of this utility model moves the empty bottle between the movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31 under the drive of the conveyor belt 2. The downstream empty bottle is blocked by the blocking mechanism at the discharge end of the clamping mechanism 3. After conveying for a period of time, the blocking mechanism at the feed end of the clamping mechanism 3 blocks the empty bottle upstream of the clamping mechanism 3. Then, driven by the first cylinder 33, the movable clamping bar 32 moves towards the fixed clamping bar 31. The movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31 finally clamp the empty bottle. Then, the drive mechanism drives the clamping mechanism 3 to rotate 180°. At this time, the empty bottle is in an inverted state and the blowing pipe 40 is inserted into the empty bottle. The blowing pipe blows the empty bottle, removing the empty bottle. After removing dust and other debris from inside the bottle and blowing for a period of time, the drive mechanism drives the clamping mechanism 3 to reset. Then, the first cylinder 33 drives the movable clamping bar 32 to reset, and the empty bottle is released. The baffle 12 in the blocking mechanism at the discharge end of the clamping mechanism 3 moves backward under the drive of the second cylinder 11. The baffle 12 no longer blocks the empty bottle, and the empty bottle is conveyed away by the conveyor belt 2. Then, the blocking mechanism at the discharge end of the clamping mechanism 3 resets. Then, the baffle 12 in the blocking mechanism at the feed end of the clamping mechanism 3 moves backward under the drive of the second cylinder 11. The baffle 12 no longer blocks the empty bottle, and the empty bottle enters between the movable clamping bar 32 and the fixed clamping bar 31. The next round of empty bottle blowing is carried out according to the above process.

[0035] If the sensor 13 fails to detect an empty bottle for a period of time, it indicates that there are not enough empty bottles on the conveyor belt 2. This will be fed back to the control device, which will then remind the staff to check in a timely manner.

[0036] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
