Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass bottle production technology, and in particular to a bottle pusher conveyor line for glass bottle production. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle pusher conveyor lines are equipment used to transport formed glass bottles to subsequent processing stages such as annealing furnaces. Existing bottle pusher conveyor lines for glass bottle production control pusher plates to push the glass bottles through a series of drive and lifting components. However, most current bottle pusher mechanisms are not equipped with anti-tipping mechanisms. In actual production, when the pusher mechanism pushes the glass bottle, the glass bottle is in a relatively unstable state on the conveyor. Due to the high center of gravity and small bottom contact area of ​​the glass bottle, it is very easy to shake when pushed by the pusher plate. This shaking will be further aggravated in the dynamic environment of the conveying process. Once the shaking exceeds a certain limit, the glass bottle will lose balance and tip over. Tipping of the glass bottle will not only cause product damage, but also affect the normal continuous operation of the production line and reduce production efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a bottle-pushing conveyor line for glass bottle production is now designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a bottle-pushing conveyor line for glass bottle production to solve the problem that most bottle-pushing mechanisms in related technologies do not usually have an anti-tipping mechanism. Because the glass bottle itself has a high center of gravity and a small bottom contact area, it is very easy to shake or even tip over when pushed by the bottle-pushing plate.

[0005] In a first aspect, a bottle-pushing conveyor line for glass bottle production is provided, comprising:

[0006] A frame is provided with a conveyor for conveying glass bottles. Pushing stations and annealing furnace feeding platforms are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the conveyor. A pushing mechanism is provided on the pushing station. The pushing mechanism includes a bracket on the pushing station, a driving component on the bracket, a lifting component connected to the driving component, and a bottle pushing plate connected to the lifting component. The driving component is used to drive the lifting component to move along the width of the conveyor. The lifting component is used to drive the bottle pushing plate to rise and fall. A balancing mechanism is provided on the bracket above the annealing furnace feeding platform.

[0007] The balancing mechanism includes a power unit mounted on a support, a second lifting component connected to the power unit, and a balance plate mounted on the second lifting component. The balance plate and the bottle pusher are located on opposite sides of the glass bottle. The power unit is used to drive the second lifting component to move along the width of the conveyor, and the balance plate is used to drive the balance plate to rise and fall.

[0008] In some embodiments, the conveyor is provided with two sets of guide rods facing each other, the two sets of guide rods being located on the left and right sides of the pushing station and the annealing furnace feeding platform.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lifting component includes housings disposed opposite each other on the bracket, a slide rod disposed in one side of the housing, a drive motor disposed in the other side of the housing, a lead screw disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor, a transmission block threaded to the outer side of the lead screw, a slider slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rod, and a travel plate slidably connected between the tops of the two housings.

[0010] The opposite sides of the housing are provided with sliding holes, and the opposite ends of the transmission block and the slider pass through the sliding holes and are connected to the traveling plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lifting component includes two insert rods disposed opposite to each other on the traveling plate, and an electric push rod disposed on the traveling plate. The bottle push plate is inverted L-shaped, the bottom end of the insert rods passes through the traveling plate and is connected to the bottle push plate, and the piston rod of the electric push rod is connected to the bottle push plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the power unit includes a housing mounted on a bracket, a second drive motor is disposed inside the housing, a second lead screw is disposed on the output shaft of the second drive motor, a second transmission block is threadedly connected to the second lead screw, and a movable plate is slidably connected to the housing;

[0013] The outer shell has a sliding hole, and one end of the transmission block 2 passes through the sliding hole and is connected to the moving plate. The moving plate is L-shaped.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second lifting component includes a second electric push rod disposed at the bottom of the movable plate, and a fixed plate is disposed at the bottom end of the piston rod of the second electric push rod;

[0015] The balancing plate is elongated and is positioned on the side of the fixed plate closest to the conveyor.

[0016] This application provides a bottle-pushing conveyor line for glass bottle production. Through the cooperation of the pushing mechanism and the balancing mechanism, the two can move synchronously to control the position and movement of the bottle-pushing plate and the balancing plate, thereby achieving smooth pushing of the glass bottles.

[0017] The balancing mechanism provides stable support from the other side of the glass bottle during the pushing process. Together with the pusher plate, it balances the forces acting on the glass bottle during the pushing process, effectively reducing the shaking of the glass bottle, greatly reducing the risk of the glass bottle tipping over, and improving the stability and reliability of glass bottle transportation.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] This application provides a bottle-pushing conveyor line for glass bottle production, which solves the problem that most bottle-pushing mechanisms in related technologies are usually not equipped with anti-tipping mechanisms. Because the glass bottle itself has a high center of gravity and a small bottom contact area, it is very easy to shake or even tip over when pushed by the bottle-pushing plate.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 A bottle-pushing conveyor line for glass bottle production includes: a frame 1 on which a conveyor 2 is mounted, the conveyor 2 being used to transport glass bottles; a pushing station 3 and an annealing furnace feeding platform 4 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the conveyor 2; a pushing mechanism 5 is mounted on the pushing station 3; the pushing mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51 mounted on the pushing station 3; a driving component 53 mounted on the bracket 51; a lifting component 52 connected to the driving component 53; and a bottle-pushing plate 54 connected to the lifting component 52; the driving component 53 is used to drive the lifting component 52 to move along the width of the conveyor 2; and the lifting component 52 is used to drive the bottle-pushing plate 54 to rise and fall; characterized in that a balancing mechanism 6 is mounted on the bracket 51 above the annealing furnace feeding platform 4.

[0028] The balancing mechanism 6 includes a power unit 61 mounted on a bracket 51, a second lifting member 62 connected to the power unit 61, and a balancing plate 63 mounted on the second lifting member 62. The balancing plate 63 and the bottle pusher 54 are located on opposite sides of the glass bottle. The power unit 61 is used to drive the second lifting member 62 to move along the width of the conveyor 2, and the balancing plate 63 is used to drive the balancing plate 63 to rise and fall.

[0029] Before the glass bottle production pusher conveyor line starts working, both the pushing mechanism 5 and the balancing mechanism 6 are in the reset state. At this time, the pusher plate 54 and the balancing plate 63 are both far away from the glass bottles to be pushed on the conveyor 2, providing space for the normal transport of the glass bottles on the conveyor 2.

[0030] When the conveyor 2 transports the glass bottle to the pushing station 3, the pushing mechanism 5 starts working, the drive component 53 moves, and drives the lifting component 52 connected to it to move along the width direction of the conveyor 2, so that the lifting component 52 drives the bottle pusher plate 54 to approach one side of the glass bottle. At the same time, the balancing mechanism 6 also starts synchronously. The power unit 61 drives the second lifting component 62 to move along the width direction of the conveyor 2, so that the second lifting component 62 drives the balancing plate 63 to move to a position that fits against the other side of the glass bottle. Subsequently, the drive component 53 of the pushing mechanism 5 and the power unit 61 of the balancing mechanism 6 are controlled in the same direction, so that the bottle pusher plate 54 and the balancing plate 63 together push the glass bottle smoothly onto the annealing furnace feeding table 4.

[0031] After the glass bottle is successfully pushed onto the annealing furnace feeding platform 4, the pushing mechanism 5 and the balancing mechanism 6 begin to reset. Lifting component 52 and lifting component 62 respectively drive the bottle pushing plate 54 and the balancing plate 63 to rise, returning to the initial height position. Then, the driving component 53 and the power unit 61 respectively drive the lifting component 52 and lifting component 62 to move, returning to the initial standby position, waiting for the next pushing task.

[0032] Through the cooperation of the pushing mechanism 5 and the balancing mechanism 6, the two can move synchronously to control the position and movement of the bottle pusher 54 and the balancing plate 63, thus achieving the smooth pushing of the glass bottle.

[0033] Through the balancing mechanism 6, when pushing the glass bottle, the balancing plate 63 provides stable support from the other side of the glass bottle. Together with the bottle pusher plate 54, it balances the force on the glass bottle during the pushing process, effectively reducing the shaking of the glass bottle, greatly reducing the risk of the glass bottle tipping over, and improving the stability and reliability of glass bottle transportation.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the push station 3, the annealing furnace feeding platform 4, and the conveyor 2 in this embodiment are located at the same level.

[0035] When conveyor 2 transports the glass bottle to the pushing station 3, the glass bottle can smoothly transition from conveyor 2 to pushing station 3 because all three are at the same horizontal level.

[0036] In addition, when the center of gravity of the glass bottle is high and the contact area at the bottom of the glass bottle is small, after the pusher plate 54 and the balance plate 63 are respectively attached to the glass bottle from both sides, the lifting component 52 of the pushing mechanism 5 drives the pusher plate 54 to rise to a certain height. At the same time, the lifting component 62 of the balance mechanism 6 also drives the balance plate 63 to rise to the same height, ensuring that the glass bottle is stably clamped between the pusher plate 54 and the balance plate 63. The driving component 53 of the pushing mechanism 5 and the power unit 61 of the balance mechanism 6 are controlled in the same direction, so that the pusher plate 54 and the balance plate 63 push the glass bottle together to the top of the annealing furnace feeding platform 4. Then, the lifting component 52 and the lifting component 62 descend at the same time, and the glass bottle falls smoothly onto the annealing furnace feeding platform 4.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the conveyor 2 described in this embodiment is provided with two sets of guide rods 21, which are located on the left and right sides of the pushing station 3 and the annealing furnace feeding platform 4.

[0038] Driven by the conveyor 2, the glass bottle moves smoothly between the two sets of guide rods 21, avoiding deviation of the glass bottle from the normal conveying track due to minor vibrations of the conveyor or slight deviations during operation.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting component 52 includes housings 531 mounted opposite each other on the bracket 51. A slide rod 532 is disposed within one side of housing 531, and a drive motor 533 is disposed within the other side of housing 531. A lead screw 534 is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 533. A transmission block 535 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 534. A slider 536 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rod 532. A traveling plate 537 is slidably connected between the tops of the two housings 531. Sliding holes are provided on opposite sides of each housing 531. The opposite ends of the transmission block 535 and slider 536 pass through the sliding holes and are connected to the traveling plate 537. A threaded hole adapted to the lead screw 534 is provided on the transmission block 535, and a sliding hole adapted to the slide rod 532 is provided on the slider 536.

[0040] When it is necessary to control the lifting component 52 to drive the bottle pusher plate 54 to rise or fall, the drive motor 533 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 533 rotates, driving the lead screw 534 connected to it to rotate synchronously. Since the lead screw 534 is connected to the transmission block 535 by a thread on the outside, according to the principle of lead screw transmission, when the lead screw 534 rotates, the transmission block 535 will generate linear motion in the axial direction of the lead screw 534. At the same time, the slider 536 slides linearly on the slide bar 532 without deviation or shaking.

[0041] When the transmission block 535 moves up and down under the drive of the lead screw 534, it drives the traveling plate 537 to move synchronously. At the same time, the slider 536 slides on the slide rod 532, providing support and guidance on the other side for the movement of the traveling plate 537, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the traveling plate 537.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting member 52 includes two insert rods 521 disposed opposite to each other on the traveling plate 537, and an electric push rod 522 disposed on the traveling plate 537. The bottle pusher plate 54 is inverted L-shaped. The bottom end of the insert rod 521 passes through the traveling plate 537 and is connected to the bottle pusher plate 54. The piston rod of the electric push rod 522 is connected to the bottle pusher plate 54.

[0043] When the electric push rod 522 is activated, the piston rod of the electric push rod 522 begins to extend outward. Since the piston rod is connected to the bottle pusher plate 54, the extension of the piston rod causes the bottle pusher plate 54 to descend. At the same time, the insert rod 521 provides a guide for the upward movement of the bottle pusher plate 54, ensuring that the bottle pusher plate 54 can only move up and down in the vertical direction without deviating or shaking.

[0044] As the piston rod extends, the bottle pusher plate 54 gradually descends until it is at the same height as the glass bottle.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the power unit 61 includes a housing 611 mounted on a bracket 51. A second drive motor 612 is housed inside the housing 611. A second lead screw 613 is mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor 612. A second transmission block 614 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 613. A movable plate 615 is slidably connected to the housing 611. A sliding hole is provided on the housing 611. One end of the second transmission block 614 passes through the sliding hole and is connected to the movable plate 615. The movable plate 615 is L-shaped. A threaded hole adapted to the second lead screw 613 is provided on the second transmission block 614.

[0046] When the glass bottle is pushed to the designated position, the power unit 61 needs to drive the balance plate 63 to move in coordination with the bottle pusher 54.

[0047] Start the second drive motor 612. The second drive motor 612 starts to run. The output shaft of the second drive motor 612 drives the second lead screw 613 to rotate synchronously. When the second lead screw 613 rotates, the second transmission block 614 will move linearly in the axial direction of the second lead screw 613. At the same time, it will drive the moving plate 615 to move together. The moving plate 615 is slidably connected to the outer shell 611. The moving plate 615 moves linearly along the preset sliding direction on the outer shell 611 without rotation or other directional deviation.

[0048] When the movable plate 615 moves, it will drive the balance plate 63 to move synchronously, so that the balance plate 63 moves closer to or further away from the bottle pusher plate 54, thereby realizing the anti-tipping operation of the glass bottle.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting component 62 includes an electric push rod 621 disposed at the bottom of the moving plate 615, and a fixing plate 622 is disposed at the bottom end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 621; the balance plate 63 is elongated and disposed on the side of the fixing plate 622 near the conveyor 2.

[0050] When the electric push rod 621 is activated, the piston rod of the electric push rod 621 begins to extend outward. The extension of the piston rod will push the fixed plate 622 to move downward. The balance plate 63 is fixed on the side of the fixed plate 622 near the conveyor 2, so the balance plate 63 will also move downward along with the fixed plate 622.

[0051] As the piston rod extends, the balance plate 63 gradually descends until it is at the same height as the glass bottle, so that it can cooperate with the bottle pusher plate 54 to prevent the glass bottle from tipping over.
