Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine bottle transfer devices, and more specifically to a buffer turntable for bottles. Background Technology
[0002] After the raw material powder is packaged, the vials need to be directionally conveyed to the capping machine via a capping and bottle-separating turntable during the capping process.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN207142253U discloses a buffer turntable for transporting medicine bottles. The buffer turntable includes a base, a feed guide rail, a discharge guide rail, and the buffer turntable itself. The buffer turntable is equipped with a driving component for rotating it. A retaining ring, fixedly installed on the base, is located on the outer wall of the buffer turntable along its circumference. The feed guide rail connects to the retaining ring radially along the buffer turntable, and the discharge guide rail connects to the retaining ring tangentially along the buffer turntable. However, in actual use, it has been found that the tall and slender vials, after being filled with raw material powder and capped, exhibit a "top-heavy" characteristic when transported to the buffer turntable. Furthermore, after high-speed rotation by the buffer turntable, the vials are prone to tipping over due to centrifugal force or uneven friction. During the process of manually lifting the bottles, the caps are easily dislodged, resulting in waste of raw material powder, vials, and rubber stoppers, while also increasing the risk of contamination. Moreover, if the bottles are not lifted promptly, they are prone to exploding, posing certain safety and quality hazards. At the same time, frequent bottle lifting operations increase the labor intensity of personnel.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To improve or solve the technical problem of bottles easily tipping over during transport on a buffer turntable in the prior art, this utility model provides a buffer turntable for bottles. The buffer turntable for bottles includes: a turntable body; a bottle-sorting turntable rotatably arranged above the turntable body and partially obscuring the turntable body; and a buffer track arranged above the turntable body, having an inlet suitable for connection to the previous process and an outlet connected to the bottle-sorting turntable; the buffer track includes a surrounding plate and a guide plate arranged radially spaced along the turntable body, the guide plate and the surrounding plate forming a detachable fixed connection.
[0006] This utility model relates to a bottle-balanced turntable, comprising a turntable body, a bottle-sorting turntable, and a buffer track. The turntable body rotates, causing the bottles on it to move. The bottle-sorting turntable is positioned above the turntable body and can organize the bottles on the turntable body during rotation. The buffer track has an inlet and an outlet. Bottles enter the turntable body through the inlet and connect to the bottle-sorting turntable through the outlet. The buffer track includes a surrounding plate and a guide plate, which form a feeding track from the inlet to the outlet, preventing the bottles from being cushioned within the turntable body and thus preventing them from tipping over. The guide plate and the surrounding plate form a detachable fixed connection, preventing the bottles from tipping over when the guide plate is installed, and restoring the turntable's buffering function after the guide plate is removed. With the above-mentioned configuration, the buffer turntable of this utility model, with its surrounding plate and guide plate forming a feeding track from the inlet to the outlet, avoids the bottle body from being buffered within the turntable body, thereby preventing the bottle body from tipping over on the turntable body and reducing the waste of raw material powder, bottle body, and rubber stopper.
[0007] Furthermore, a first feed plate and a second feed plate are provided at the outer edge of the turntable body; the guide plate is connected to the first feed plate, and the surrounding plate is connected to the second feed plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided between the enclosure plate and the second feed plate.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a bottle-scraping track arranged outside the bottle-scraping turntable, one end of the bottle-scraping track being fixedly connected to the guide plate, and the other end of the bottle-scraping track abutting against the first feed plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the guide plate includes a first arc-shaped plate near the feed inlet and a second arc-shaped plate near the discharge outlet.
[0011] Furthermore, a first mounting seat is provided on the guide plate, and a second mounting seat is provided on the enclosure plate. The first mounting seat and the second mounting seat are fixedly connected by connecting bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided on the second mounting base, and a locking bolt that abuts against the connecting bolt is provided in the threaded hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the enclosure includes a superior arc portion extending circumferentially along the turntable body and a inferior arc portion connected to the superior arc portion; the width of the discharge port is greater than the width of the inlet port.
[0014] Furthermore, a support plate is provided below the inferior arc portion.
[0015] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) The buffer track includes a surrounding plate and a guide plate. The surrounding plate and the guide plate form a feeding track from the inlet to the outlet, which avoids the bottle body being buffered inside the turntable body, thereby preventing the bottle body from tipping over on the turntable body.
[0017] (2) The guide plate and the surrounding plate form a detachable fixed connection, which can prevent the bottle from tipping over when the guide plate is installed, and restore the turntable buffer function after the guide plate is removed. Attached Figure Description
