Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glassware production, specifically to a turning bottle pusher suitable for irregularly shaped bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass bottle manufacturing industry, automated production line technology is relatively mature for the production of standard bottles. In its production process, the formed glass bottles are automatically discharged and transported directly to the annealing furnace for annealing via conveyor belt. When passing through the turning points of the production line, a special turning machine is used to turn the glass bottles, ensuring that the glass bottles can smoothly enter the subsequent production processes. The whole process is efficient, stable, and requires little manual intervention.

[0003] However, for irregularly shaped bottles, due to their irregular shape and special processing requirements, automated molding equipment cannot currently be used for production. They can only be formed using hand presses, and the formed bottles need to be manually unloaded and placed onto a conveyor belt. Manual operation makes it difficult to ensure consistent spacing between the bottles on the conveyor belt. Existing turning machines are designed for fixed spacing of standard bottles, and the inconsistent spacing caused by manual unloading makes them incompatible with the turning machine. This leads to problems such as bottles tipping over and jamming at turning points, severely impacting production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, developing a turning and pushing machine suitable for irregularly shaped bottles to solve the problem of difficult turning during conveying has become a pressing technical challenge in the glass bottle manufacturing industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a turning bottle pusher suitable for irregularly shaped bottles, so as to solve the problem that the existing turning machines cannot be used for turning and conveying irregularly shaped bottles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A turning bottle pusher suitable for irregularly shaped bottles includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt. The second conveyor belt is connected to one side of the first conveyor belt through a transition plate and forms an angle with the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt. A turning cylinder is provided at the connection between the first and second conveyor belts. The output shaft of the turning cylinder is connected to an L-shaped turning push plate. The turning cylinder is used to drive the turning push plate to slide and push the irregularly shaped bottle from the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt. A detection sensor is provided on one side of the turning push plate. A spacing adjustment device is provided at the feeding end of the first conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the spacing adjustment device includes a platform on both sides of the first conveyor belt, a feeding cylinder on the outside of the platform, a feeding pusher connected to the feeding cylinder, the feeding cylinder is used to drive the feeding pusher to push the irregularly shaped bottle on the platform onto the first conveyor belt, the two feeding cylinders alternately push the two feeding pushers and the alternation time is the same.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the turning pusher includes a main pusher facing the second conveyor belt, the main pusher being parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt, and a limit protection pusher connected to one side of the main pusher. The limit protection pusher is used to block the irregularly shaped bottle from continuing to move along the first conveyor belt and to prevent the irregularly shaped bottle from falling off.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the included angle between the main push plate and the limiting push plate is greater than 90 degrees.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, both the turning pusher and the feeding pusher include a pusher frame and a pusher body detachably connected to the pusher frame.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, a heat-resistant pad is provided on the side of the pusher plate body facing the irregularly shaped bottle.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the platform is tilted and its lower end is connected to the first conveyor belt, and the tilt angle of the platform is less than 10 degrees.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the detection sensor is a high-temperature resistant detection sensor.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, both the first and second conveyor belts are conveyor mesh belts.

[0015] The principles and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows:

[0016] 1. After the pressed glass bottles are removed from the hand press, workers alternately place the glass bottles on two platforms. Two feeding cylinders alternately move, causing two feeding pushers to push the glass bottles on the two platforms onto the first conveyor belt, ensuring that the glass bottles are conveyed backward with the same spacing. When the glass bottle is conveyed to the turning point, the detection sensor detects the glass bottle, and the turning cylinder drives the turning pusher to push the glass bottle from the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt, thus realizing the turning conveying of the glass.

[0017] This solution, through the coordinated design of the first conveyor belt, second conveyor belt, transition plate, turning cylinder, turning push plate, detection sensor, and spacing adjustment device, effectively solves the problem of inconsistent spacing during manual feeding of irregularly shaped bottles, which is difficult to adapt to traditional turning machines. It improves the transmission efficiency and stability of irregularly shaped bottles on the production line, reduces product damage and production line downtime caused by transmission problems, and significantly enhances the automation level and production efficiency of irregularly shaped bottle production.

[0018] 2. Workers alternately place irregularly shaped bottles on two platforms. Two feeding cylinders, installed at preset intervals, alternately push the bottles onto the first conveyor belt, ensuring that the bottles are conveyed with consistent spacing. This solves the problem of inconsistent spacing when manually placing bottles, ensuring that subsequent turning pushers can smoothly handle them. Furthermore, the two platforms provide workers with ample time for feeding, reducing their workload and making the feeding process more efficient and orderly. This effectively prevents damage to bottles caused by rushed feeding, further improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0019] 3. An L-shaped turning pusher is used. The main pusher plate is primarily responsible for pushing irregularly shaped bottles onto the second conveyor belt. Since the first conveyor belt still has momentum, a limiting and protective pusher plate is installed to limit the movement of the irregularly shaped bottles and prevent them from continuing to move along the first conveyor belt. Additionally, the limiting and protective pusher plate also prevents the irregularly shaped bottles from falling off the transition plate or the side of the second conveyor belt during the pushing process. Furthermore, the limiting and protective pusher plate forms an angle greater than 90 degrees with the main pusher plate, meaning the limiting and protective pusher plate is tilted relative to the main pusher plate. This avoids large collisions between the irregularly shaped bottles and the limiting and protective pusher plate due to inertia during the pushing process, reducing the risk of damage to the irregularly shaped bottles during the turning and conveying process and improving the product integrity rate.

[0020] 4. The turning pusher and feeding pusher adopt a structure in which the pusher frame and the pusher body are detachably connected. The pusher frame is mounted on the cylinder, and the pusher body is detachably mounted on the pusher frame. This design allows for convenient and quick replacement of the pusher body when it is worn or damaged, without the need for complete replacement, reducing equipment maintenance costs and time. Simultaneously, a heat-resistant pad is placed on the side of the pusher body facing the irregularly shaped bottle, effectively buffering the force between the pusher body and the bottle, protecting the pusher body from high temperatures and impact damage, extending its service life, and further improving the reliability and stability of the equipment.

[0021] 5. The loading platform is tilted, with its lower end connected to the first conveyor belt, at an angle of less than 10 degrees. This design utilizes gravity to allow irregularly shaped bottles placed on the platform to be smoothly pushed onto the first conveyor belt by the feeding pusher, reducing the force required for the feeding pusher to push the bottles and lowering the equipment's energy consumption. Simultaneously, the smooth pushing process helps protect the shape and surface quality of the bottles, preventing deformation or surface scratches caused by excessive pushing resistance, thus improving the product qualification rate.

[0022] 6. Utilizing high-temperature resistant sensors, the system maintains stable detection performance even in the high-temperature environments of glass bottle production, ensuring that detection accuracy is unaffected by temperature. This allows the sensors to accurately detect signals when irregularly shaped bottles reach a turning point, providing a reliable basis for the turning cylinder to promptly drive the turning pusher, guaranteeing the accuracy and timeliness of the bottle turning and conveying. Simultaneously, the high-temperature resistance effectively extends the lifespan of the sensors, reducing equipment downtime due to sensor failure and improving equipment operating efficiency and stability.

[0023] 7. Both the first and second conveyor belts use mesh belts. Their mesh structure provides excellent heat dissipation, effectively dissipating the heat from the glass bottles during transport and preventing aging or deformation due to high temperatures, thus significantly extending their service life. Furthermore, the mesh belt structure effectively prevents the glass bottles from slipping during transport, improving stability and reliability, ensuring the safety of irregularly shaped bottles, and further enhancing the overall performance and production efficiency of the turning bottle pusher.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a top view of Embodiment 1 of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0026] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: first conveyor belt 1, second conveyor belt 2, transition plate 3, turning cylinder 31, detection sensor 32, main push plate 33, limit protection push plate 34, placement platform 4, feeding push plate 5, push plate body 51, push plate frame 52, and feeding cylinder 6.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a turning bottle pusher suitable for irregularly shaped bottles includes a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2. Both the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are conveyor mesh belts, using the conveyor mesh belts used in existing glass bottle production lines. The second conveyor belt 2 is connected to one side of the first conveyor belt 1 via a transition plate 3 and forms an angle with the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 1. One end of the transition plate 3 is fixed to the frame of the first conveyor belt 1 by bolts, and the free end of the transition plate 3 rests on the surface of the feeding end of the second conveyor belt 2.

[0029] A turning cylinder 31 is installed at the connection between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. The output shaft of the turning cylinder 31 is connected to an L-shaped turning push plate. The turning cylinder 31 is used to drive the turning push plate to slide, thereby pushing the irregularly shaped bottle from the first conveyor belt 1 onto the second conveyor belt 2. The turning push plate includes a main push plate 33 facing the second conveyor belt 2. The main push plate 33 is parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 1. A limit protection push plate 34 is welded to one side of the main push plate 33. The limit protection push plate 34 is used to prevent the irregularly shaped bottle from continuing to move along the first conveyor belt 1 and to prevent the irregularly shaped bottle from falling. The angle between the main push plate 33 and the limit push plate is greater than 90 degrees, and 95 degrees can be selected in this embodiment. A detection sensor 32 is installed on one side of the turning push plate. The detection sensor 32 is a high-temperature resistant detection sensor, such as a high-temperature resistant infrared sensor, for example, a thermocouple infrared sensor.

[0030] The first conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a spacing adjustment device at its feeding end. The spacing adjustment device includes a platform 4 fixed on both sides of the first conveyor belt 1. A feeding cylinder 6 is installed on the outside of the platform 4. The feeding cylinder 6 is connected to a feeding push plate 5. The feeding cylinder 6 is used to drive the feeding push plate 5 to push the irregularly shaped bottles on the platform 4 onto the first conveyor belt 1. The two feeding cylinders 6 alternately push the two feeding push plates 5, and the alternation time is the same. Both the turning push plate and the feeding push plate 5 include a push plate frame 52 and a push plate body 51 detachably connected to the push plate frame 52. A heat-resistant pad (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the push plate body 51 facing the irregularly shaped bottle.

[0031] In practical application, workers alternately place the irregularly shaped bottles, formed by hand presses, onto the placement platforms 4 on both sides of the first conveyor belt 1. After the irregularly shaped bottles are placed on the placement platforms 4, the feeding cylinders 6 alternately operate at set time intervals, driving the feeding pusher 5 to push the irregularly shaped bottles on the placement platforms 4 onto the first conveyor belt 1 in sequence. Since the two feeding cylinders 6 alternate at the same time, the irregularly shaped bottles are conveyed backward on the first conveyor belt 1 with the same spacing.

[0032] When the irregularly shaped bottle is conveyed to the turning point by the first conveyor belt 1, the detection sensor 32 detects the bottle and transmits a signal to the control system. The control system then activates the turning cylinder 31. The turning cylinder 31 drives the L-shaped turning push plate to slide, and the main push plate 33 pushes the irregularly shaped bottle from the first conveyor belt 1 onto the second conveyor belt 2. During the pushing process, the limiting protective push plate 34 prevents the irregularly shaped bottle from continuing to move along the first conveyor belt 1 and prevents it from falling off the transition plate 3 or the side of the second conveyor belt 2. Since the angle between the limiting protective push plate 34 and the main push plate 33 is greater than 90 degrees, it effectively avoids large collisions between the irregularly shaped bottle and the limiting protective push plate 34 due to inertia, ensuring that the irregularly shaped bottle completes the turning conveyor safely and stably and enters the subsequent production process.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the platform 4 is tilted and its lower end is connected to the first conveyor belt 1, with the tilt angle of the platform 4 being less than 10 degrees. This embodiment utilizes gravity to allow the irregularly shaped bottles placed on the platform 4 to be pushed more smoothly onto the first conveyor belt 1 by the feeding pusher plate 5, reducing the force required for the feeding pusher plate 5 to push the irregularly shaped bottles and lowering the energy consumption of the equipment.
