Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling machine technology, and more specifically, to a device for detecting misaligned bottles at the inlet of a filling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Filling machines are mechanical devices used to automatically and quantitatively fill liquid or semi-fluid materials into containers (such as bottles, cans, etc.). They are widely used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic industries to improve production efficiency and ensure product quality consistency.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that currently, before filling bottles, the bottles need to be transported to the filling position via a conveyor belt. During this movement, bottles are prone to tilting or tipping over when entering the inlet, causing blockages and requiring manual cleaning. This is labor-intensive and affects subsequent filling. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a bottle tilting detection device at the inlet of a filling machine, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bottle tilt detection device at the inlet of a filling machine. This device can prevent bottles from tilting or tipping over when entering the inlet, which would cause the inlet to become blocked and require manual cleaning, resulting in high labor intensity and affecting subsequent filling.
[0006] 2. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A bottle misalignment detection device at the inlet of a filling machine includes a conveyor frame and a support frame. The support frame is located on one side of the conveyor frame, and a vertical frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. A display screen is installed on the back of the vertical frame, and an alarm light is installed on one side of the vertical frame. An arc-shaped channel is bolted to the side of the conveyor frame. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the side of the vertical frame. A push plate is installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod, and an L-shaped frame is bolted to the top of the electric telescopic rod. A laser sensor is installed below the L-shaped frame. A strip plate is fixedly connected to the side of the vertical frame away from the electric telescopic rod, and a protrusion is installed on one side of the strip plate. A flow guide assembly is installed at the upper left corner of the conveyor frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor frame is composed of a motor, a conveyor belt, a support column, and a mounting frame. The conveyor belt is installed inside the mounting frame, the support column is installed below the mounting frame, a rotating roller is installed inside the conveyor belt, and the output end of the motor is connected to the rotating roller.
[0010] Furthermore, the flow guiding components are provided in two sets, symmetrically arranged on both sides above the conveyor frame, and the structure of each set of flow guiding components is identical.
[0011] Furthermore, the flow guiding assembly is composed of a mounting base, a cylinder, and a flow guide plate. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, the cylinder is mounted above the mounting base, and the output end of the cylinder is equipped with a flow guide plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a sturdy frame is bolted to the connection between the electric telescopic rod and the upright, and an opening is fixedly provided on the inner side of the upright, the size of which is adapted to the size of the electric telescopic rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the arc-shaped channel gradually decreases from the inside to the outside, and a reinforcing seat is bolted to the connection between the arc-shaped channel and the conveyor frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the laser sensor is located directly above the conveyor frame, and a connecting frame is installed on top of the laser sensor. A wire is installed inside the connecting frame. An information processor is installed on the back of the display screen. The wire is connected to the information processor, and the alarm light is connected to the information processor.
[0015] 3. Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] This solution uses two sets of flow guiding components symmetrically positioned on either side of the upper part of the conveyor frame. Bottles first enter from the right side of the conveyor frame, and a motor, in conjunction with the conveyor belt, moves the bottles to the laser sensor position. At this point, the laser sensor detects whether a bottle is tipped over or tilted. When a tipped or tilted bottle is detected, the information processor receives the information, causing an electric telescopic rod to drive a pusher plate to push the tipped or tilted bottle into the arc-shaped channel. When there is a large accumulation in the arc-shaped channel, an alarm light sounds to alert the staff. Qualified bottles are then moved by the conveyor belt to the flow guiding component position, where a cylinder drives the flow guiding plate to limit the bottles on both sides, thus ensuring that the bottles will not tip over or tilt when entering the filling inlet. This reduces manual labor intensity and does not affect subsequent bottle filling. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example:
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A bottle tilting detection device at the entrance of a filling machine includes a conveyor frame 1 and a support frame 2. The support frame 2 is located on one side of the conveyor frame 1, which is used to convey bottles. A vertical frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2, and a display screen 13 is installed on the back of the vertical frame 4. The display screen 13 is used to display data on bottle tilting or misalignment. An alarm light 5 is installed on one side of the vertical frame 4 to alert the operator. An arc-shaped channel 3 is bolted to the side of the conveyor frame 1 for discharging tilted or misaligned bottles. An electric telescopic rod 6 is installed on the side of the vertical frame 4, and a push plate 10 is installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6. The electric telescopic rod 6 and the push plate 10 are used to push tilted or misaligned bottles into the arc-shaped channel 3. An L-shaped frame 11 is bolted to the top of the electric telescopic rod 6, and a laser sensor 12 is installed below the L-shaped frame 11 to detect whether the bottle is tilted or has other abnormal posture. A strip plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the upright frame 4 away from the electric telescopic rod 6. A protrusion 9 is installed on one side of the strip plate 8, which is used to limit the bottles. A flow guiding assembly 7 is installed at the upper left corner of the conveyor frame 1, which is used to guide the bottles.
[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 4The conveyor frame 1 is composed of a motor 101, a conveyor belt 102, a support column 103, and a mounting frame 104. The conveyor belt 102 is installed inside the mounting frame 104, and the support column 103 is installed below the mounting frame 104. A rotating roller is installed inside the conveyor belt 102, and the output end of the motor 101 is connected to the rotating roller. By setting the motor 101 and the conveyor belt 102, the bottle can be moved.
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 Two sets of flow guiding components 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides above the conveyor frame 1. Each set of flow guiding components 7 has the same structure and composition. By setting the flow guiding components 7, the bottle can be guided.
[0029] See Figure 4 The flow guiding component 7 is composed of a mounting base 71, a cylinder 72 and a flow guiding plate 73. The mounting base 71 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 1. The cylinder 72 is installed above the mounting base 71, and the output end of the cylinder 72 is equipped with a flow guiding plate 73. By setting the cylinder 72 and the flow guiding plate 73, the bottle can be limited to prevent it from tipping over or tilting.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connection between the electric telescopic rod 6 and the upright frame 4 is bolted with a sturdy frame. The inner side of the upright frame 4 is fixed with a through-hole. The size of the through-hole is adapted to the size of the electric telescopic rod 6. By setting the through-hole, the electric telescopic rod 6 and the push plate 10 can easily push the inverted or tilted bottle into the arc-shaped channel 3.
[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 The inner diameter of the arc-shaped channel 3 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside, and the connection between the arc-shaped channel 3 and the conveyor frame 1 is bolted with a reinforcing seat. By setting the arc-shaped channel 3, it is easy to discharge bottles that are tilted or bent.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The laser sensor 12 is located directly above the conveyor frame 1, and a connecting frame is installed on the top of the laser sensor 12. The connecting frame contains wires. An information processor is installed on the back of the display screen 13. The wires are connected to the information processor. The alarm light 5 is connected to the information processor. By setting the laser sensor 12, the information processor can process the information of inverted or tilted bottles in real time.
[0033] In use: The bottles first enter from the right side of the conveyor frame 1. The motor 101, together with the conveyor belt 102, moves the bottles to the position of the laser sensor 12. At this time, the laser sensor 12 senses whether the bottles are tilted or crooked. When the bottles are tilted or crooked, the information processor receives the information and causes the electric telescopic rod 6 to drive the push plate 10 to push the tilted or crooked bottles into the arc-shaped channel 3. When there is a lot of accumulation in the arc-shaped channel 3, the alarm light 5 will sound to remind the staff. Qualified bottles are moved to the position of the flow guide component 7 by the conveyor belt 102. The cylinder 72 drives the flow guide plate 73 to limit the two sides of the bottles, thereby ensuring that the bottles will not tilt or crooked when entering the filling inlet. The manual labor intensity is small and will not affect the subsequent filling of the bottles.
