Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a material conveying and sorting structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the PET bottle conveying process, using multiple sorting baffles to divide the bottles into multiple rows effectively optimizes conveying efficiency and packaging quality. Separate sorting effectively utilizes conveyor belt space, reduces bottle spacing, and thus achieves higher conveying capacity on the same conveyor belt. It also ensures that PET bottles from each row are effectively transferred to subsequent workstations, which is significant for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire production line. However, when there are many PET bottles on the conveyor belt, they tend to accumulate at the front of each sorting baffle, affecting normal conveying. Furthermore, when PET bottles are conveyed along a line towards the side closest to the sorting baffles, the lack of a guiding structure to guide the bottles sequentially into the gaps between the sorting baffles results in inconsistent numbers of bottles entering each gap, thus affecting subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a conveying and sorting structure that guides each PET bottle sequentially through the gaps between the sorting baffles.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a material conveying and sorting structure, comprising:

[0005] The first support and the second support are both mounted on the conveyor belt, and the second support can slide on the conveyor belt.

[0006] A cylinder, which is mounted on the first bracket;

[0007] At least three sorting baffles are mounted on the second support, and there is a gap between each pair of adjacent sorting baffles to allow materials to pass through and enter the subsequent work station. The cylinder can drive each sorting baffle to reciprocate.

[0008] A conveyor line, located at the bottom of each of the sorting baffles, is used to transport materials;

[0009] A guiding assembly includes a driving component and a guide plate, the guide plate being rotatably disposed on the conveyor line, the driving component being capable of driving the guide plate to reciprocate on the conveyor line.

[0010] Furthermore, the top wall of the guide plate has an inwardly recessed guide groove along its length, and a connecting shaft is slidably inserted into the guide groove. The driving component is a linear module, which is set on the conveyor line, and the moving end of the linear module is connected to the top of the connecting shaft.

[0011] The linear module can drive the connecting shaft to slide back and forth along the width direction of the conveyor line.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0013] A linear module is detachably mounted on each of the sorting baffles. The moving end of the linear module is provided with a connecting frame, and the linear module can drive the connecting frame to reciprocate to both sides perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Two telescopic plate assemblies are hinged in a figure-eight shape on the first bracket, and the side of the two telescopic plate assemblies away from the first bracket is hinged to the connecting frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the telescopic plate assembly includes a first sleeve plate hinged to a first bracket and a telescopic plate body slidably inserted into the first sleeve plate, wherein the side of the telescopic plate body away from the first sleeve plate is hinged to the connecting frame.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting frame is T-shaped and includes an outer frame and telescopic rods that can be slidably inserted into both sides of it. Each telescopic plate is hinged to the corresponding telescopic rod. The connecting frame is provided with a limiting member that can limit the telescopic rod when it slides to the corresponding position on the outer frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the linear module includes a mounting platform, on which a reciprocating screw is rotatably mounted, and a motor capable of driving the reciprocating screw to rotate is mounted on the mounting platform. A slide is slidably mounted on the mounting platform, and the slide is screwed into the reciprocating screw.

[0018] The connecting frame is mounted on the slide.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes an installation component, which includes an installation plate disposed at the bottom of the slide. The installation plate has multiple screw holes along its length, and an assembly frame is screwed into each of the corresponding screw holes. Each assembly frame is connected to the corresponding sorting baffle.

[0020] Furthermore, the first support includes a first frame and a crossbeam disposed on the first frame, and the cylinder is disposed on the crossbeam. The second support includes a second frame and a connecting rod disposed on the second frame. Each of the sorting baffles is disposed on the connecting rod. A connecting plate is detachably disposed on the sorting baffle. The moving end of the cylinder is connected to the connecting plate.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0022] In this invention, PET bottles are conveyed along the conveyor line to the side near the guide plate. At this time, the guide plate is driven by a drive component to swing back and forth on the conveyor line. The swing angle corresponds to the gap at the corresponding position of each sorting baffle. When each PET bottle is conveyed sequentially to the side near each sorting baffle on the conveyor line, the swinging guide plate will guide each PET bottle to move sequentially to the corresponding gap between each sorting baffle, so that the number of bottles entering the gap between each sorting baffle tends to be consistent.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model discloses a material handling structure, including a first support 1 and a second support 2, both of which are mounted on a conveyor belt. The second support 2 can slide on the conveyor belt. A cylinder 3 is provided on the first support 1, and at least three material handling baffles 4 are provided on the second support 2. There is a gap between each pair of adjacent material handling baffles 4 to allow materials to pass through and enter the subsequent work station. The cylinder 3 can drive each material handling baffle 4 to reciprocate.

[0032] During use, each PET bottle flows sequentially from the conveyor belt to the first support 1 and the second support 2. It passes through the gaps between each sorting baffle 4. At this time, the cylinder 3 is activated. The moving end of the cylinder 3 extends and retracts, driving the second support 2 to slide back and forth on the conveyor belt. At this time, each sorting baffle 4 moves synchronously. When multiple bottles accumulate at the input end of each sorting baffle 4, the moving sorting baffle 4, in conjunction with the conveyor belt, can transport the PET bottles to other gaps, thereby enabling each PET bottle to be divided into multiple rows and transported to the subsequent workstation.

[0033] In one embodiment, the device further includes a conveyor line 13 and a guide assembly 10, wherein the conveyor line 13 is located at the bottom of each sorting baffle 4 for conveying materials, and the guide assembly 10 includes a drive component and a guide plate 101, the guide plate 101 being rotatably mounted on the conveyor line 13, and the drive component being able to drive the guide plate 101 to reciprocate on the conveyor line 13.

[0034] In practice, PET bottles are conveyed via the conveyor line 13 to the side near the guide plate 101. At this time, the guide plate 101 is driven by the drive component to swing back and forth on the conveyor line 13. The swing angle can correspond to the gap at the corresponding position of each sorting baffle 4. When each PET bottle is conveyed sequentially to the side near each sorting baffle 4 on the conveyor line 13, the swinging guide plate 101 will guide each PET bottle to move sequentially to the corresponding gap between each sorting baffle 4, so that the number of bottles entering the gap between each sorting baffle 4 tends to be consistent.

[0035] In practice, the swing speed of the guide plate 101 is adapted to the conveying speed of the conveyor line 13 and the conveying frequency of the PET bottles, thereby further improving the accuracy of its guidance.

[0036] In one embodiment, a recessed guide groove 102 is provided on the top wall of the guide plate 101 along its length direction. A connecting shaft 103 is slidably inserted into the guide groove 102. The driving component mentioned above is a linear module 104, which is installed on the conveyor line 13. At the same time, the installation height of the linear module 104 will not affect the normal conveying of PET bottles on the conveyor line 13. The moving end of the linear module 104 is connected to the top of the connecting shaft 103.

[0037] In a specific implementation, the linear module 104 can drive the connecting shaft 103 to slide back and forth along the width direction of the conveyor line 13. At this time, the connecting shaft 103 moves in the guide groove 102 and drives the guide plate 101 to swing back and forth around the connection point with the conveyor line 13.

[0038] In its second embodiment, the device further includes a linear module 6, which is detachably mounted on each sorting baffle 4. The moving end of the linear module 6 is provided with a connecting frame 7. The linear module 6 can drive the connecting frame 7 to move back and forth on both sides perpendicular to the conveyor belt conveying direction. Two telescopic plate assemblies 8 are hinged on the first support 1, and the two telescopic plate assemblies 8 are distributed in a figure-eight shape. The side of the two telescopic plate assemblies 8 away from the first support 1 is hinged to the connecting frame 7.

[0039] In practice, when each PET bottle moves toward the first support 1, it is guided by two telescopic plate assemblies 8 arranged in a figure-eight shape from one of the gaps. During this process, the linear module 6 can be activated to make the two telescopic plate assemblies 8 swing and extend. At this time, the narrower end of the two telescopic plate assemblies 8 will connect with each gap in turn, and multiple PET bottles will be guided into each gap in turn. Meanwhile, the moving end of the linear module 6 moves back and forth, so that each PET bottle can move from each gap to the subsequent station very evenly.

[0040] In one embodiment, the telescopic plate assembly 8 includes a first sleeve plate 81 hinged to the first bracket 1 and a telescopic plate body 82 slidably inserted into the first sleeve plate 81, wherein the side of the telescopic plate body 82 away from the first sleeve plate 81 is hinged to the connecting frame 7.

[0041] This design ensures good stability of the telescopic plate assembly 8 during swing adjustment. In practice, the first plate 81 and the telescopic plate 82 can be made of materials with a low coefficient of friction to ensure good safety when guiding the PET bottle. Therefore, the PET bottle will not tip over due to excessive friction when in contact with the first plate 81 or the telescopic plate 82.

[0042] In one embodiment, the connecting frame 7 is T-shaped and includes an outer frame and telescopic rods that can be slidably inserted to both sides of it. Each telescopic plate 82 is hinged to the corresponding telescopic rod. The connecting frame 7 is provided with a limiting member (not shown in the figure), which can limit the telescopic rod when it slides to the corresponding position on the outer frame.

[0043] In specific implementation, the aforementioned limiting component can be a bolt, which is rotatably mounted on the outer frame. The telescopic rod has multiple positioning holes with internal threads. By adjusting the telescopic position of the two telescopic rods on the outer frame, and after adjustment, the bolt is screwed into the corresponding positioning hole to limit the adjusted telescopic rod. This design allows the relative lateral distance between the two telescopic plates 82 to be changed, thus enabling adaptation and guidance for PET bottles of different widths.

[0044] In one embodiment, the linear module 6 includes a mounting platform 61, on which a reciprocating screw 62 is rotatably mounted, and a motor 63 capable of driving the reciprocating screw 62 to rotate is mounted on the mounting platform 61. A slide table 64 is slidably mounted on the mounting platform 61, and the slide table 64 is screwed into the reciprocating screw 62. The connecting frame 7 is mounted on the slide table 64.

[0045] In practice, when the motor 63 starts, it drives the reciprocating screw 62 to rotate. During this process, the slide table 64 moves on the mounting table 61. At this time, it will drive the two telescopic plates 82 to swing while their relative side distance remains unchanged, and make the gap between the two telescopic plates 82 connect with the gap between each sorting baffle 4 in turn, so as to guide each PET bottle into the corresponding gap in turn.

[0046] In one embodiment, the device further includes a mounting component 9, which includes a mounting plate 91 mounted on the bottom of the slide table 64. The mounting plate 91 has a plurality of screw holes 92 along its length, and an assembly frame 93 is screwed into each of the corresponding screw holes 92. Each assembly frame 93 is connected to a corresponding sorting baffle 4.

[0047] In practice, depending on the number and installation position of the sorting baffles 4, a corresponding number of assembly racks 93 can be selected and screwed into the corresponding screw holes 92. After installation, each assembly rack 93 is clamped and installed on the corresponding sorting baffle 4. Finally, bolts can be installed for fixation, so that the mounting plate 91 can be fixed very stably on each sorting baffle 4.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first support 1 includes a first frame 11 and a crossbeam 12 mounted on the first frame 11, and the cylinder 3 is mounted on the crossbeam 12. The second support 2 includes a second frame 21 and a connecting rod 22 mounted on the second frame 21. Each sorting baffle 4 is mounted on the connecting rod 22. A connecting plate 5 is detachably provided on the sorting baffle 4. The moving end of the cylinder 3 is connected to the connecting plate 5.

[0049] In practice, each sorting baffle 4 can be slidably adjusted to the corresponding position on the connecting rod 22 and then fixed. After the sliding adjustment is completed, it can be fixed by a clamp or other device. Therefore, the position of each sorting baffle 4 and the gap between them can be changed according to the size of the PET bottle. The telescopic plate assembly 8 mentioned above can also be adapted and guided according to the size of the PET bottle, thus facilitating actual use.

[0050] The aforementioned methods of fixing the outer frame and the telescopic rod with bolts, and the methods of fixing the loading baffle 4 and the connecting rod 22 with clamps, are common knowledge in this field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be elaborated further in this article.

[0051] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0052] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
