Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic bottle unscrambler technology, specifically to a straightening structure for use in an automatic bottle unscrambler. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic bottle unscramblers are industrial equipment that organizes randomly stacked plastic or glass bottles into a uniform orientation and transports them to automated production lines. They are mainly used in the filling, labeling, and packing processes of the beverage, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries, and support the automatic conveying of round and square bottles.
[0003] The straightening device disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN214303725U includes a cylindrical support component and a fixed installation component. The fixed installation component is respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical support component. A ring-shaped sleeve structure is formed in the middle of the fixed installation component. The shape of the ring-shaped sleeve structure is adapted to the shape of the pipe to be straightened, and the center of the ring-shaped sleeve structure is located on the center line of the cylindrical support component. Compared with the structure of previous straighteners, because the cylindrical support component can fully contact the well wall, even if there are irregularly shaped parts of the well wall that prevent part of the cylindrical support component from being supported, the other parts of the cylindrical support component can still be supported, thus ensuring that the pipe to be straightened can be effectively centered in the well. This solves the problem that previous filter pipes easily adhered to the well wall, making it impossible for gravel to be filled, failing to form an artificial filter layer, and causing sand to be easily discharged during pumping.
[0004] Currently, automatic bottle unscramblers on the market require a straightening structure to straighten the bottles during use. However, existing straightening structures are limited in function and have a fixed structure, making it difficult to straighten bottles of different sizes. This poor adaptability affects the effectiveness of the straightening structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a straightening structure for an automatic bottle unscrambler, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of difficulty in straightening bottles of different sizes.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a straightening structure for an automatic bottle unscrambler, comprising a straightening device body and a sliding assembly for the automatic bottle unscrambler; the straightening device body includes a fixed straightening plate and a movable straightening plate; the fixed straightening plate is detachably connected to the automatic bottle unscrambler by bolts; the movable straightening plate is connected to the fixed straightening plate by the sliding assembly; the sliding assembly includes a sliding groove, a sliding block, a fixed frame, a rotating plate, a spring, a locking groove, and a locking block; the fixed straightening plate has a sliding groove on the side near the movable straightening plate; the sliding block is fixedly mounted on the movable straightening plate, and the sliding block slides in cooperation with the sliding groove; at least one fixed frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the fixed straightening plate; the rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame via a rotating shaft A; both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the fixed straightening plate and the rotating plate respectively; a plurality of locking grooves are linearly arrayed on the sliding block; the locking block is fixedly mounted on the rotating plate, and the end of the locking block passes through the fixed straightening plate and engages with the locking groove.
[0007] Preferably, both the fixed straightening plate and the movable straightening plate are L-shaped structures with a smaller top and a larger bottom.
[0008] Preferably, the sliding block has a Y-shaped structure, and the dimension of the sliding block on the side closer to the movable straightening plate is smaller than the dimension of the sliding block on the side farther from the movable straightening plate.
[0009] Preferably, the fixing frame has a U-shaped structure and the rotating plate has an L-shaped structure.
[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit block has an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the snap-fit block is located on the axis of the rotating shaft A.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes a guide component; the guide component is arranged on the fixed straightening plate and the movable straightening plate.
[0012] Preferably, the guiding component includes a receiving groove and a guiding block; the fixed straightening plate vertical plate and the movable straightening plate vertical plate are each provided with a receiving groove on their opposite surfaces; a plurality of the guiding blocks are arranged in a linear array and are rotatably disposed in the receiving groove via a rotating shaft B.
[0013] Preferably, the circumferential surface of the guide block has an outward convex structure, and the guide block is in contact with the surface of the bottle.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model, by setting a sliding component, allows the rotating plate to rotate via shaft A and the fixed frame when pressed, causing the locking block to slide within the locking groove. This causes the spring to stretch until the rotating plate contacts the bottom surface of the fixed straightening plate. At this point, the locking block moves out of the locking groove. Then, the movable straightening plate is moved closer to or away from the fixed straightening plate, causing the sliding block to slide within the sliding groove until the movable straightening plate reaches the appropriate position. Releasing the rotating plate then causes the rotating plate to rotate in the opposite direction via shaft A and the fixed frame under the spring force, until the locking block engages with the locking groove. At this point, the sliding block's position within the sliding groove is fixed. Compared to existing technologies, this utility model has a simple and reasonable structure, ingenious design, and is convenient for straightening bottles of different sizes. It is highly adaptable and has good performance.
[0016] 2. By setting up a guiding component, the automatic bottle unscrambler transports bottles between a fixed support plate and a movable support plate, causing the guide block to contact the bottle surface. The guide block rotates in the receiving groove via the rotating shaft B, thus guiding the transport of the bottles. Since the circumferential surface of the guide block is convex, the contact area between the guide block and the bottle is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the guide block and the bottle and improving the transport efficiency of the bottles.

[0025] 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 some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a straightening structure for an automatic bottle unscrambler, including a straightening device body 1 and a sliding component 2 for the automatic bottle unscrambler; the straightening device body 1 includes a fixed straightening plate 101 and a movable straightening plate 102; the fixed straightening plate 101 is detachably connected to the automatic bottle unscrambler by bolts; the movable straightening plate 102 is connected to the fixed straightening plate 101 by the sliding component 2; both the fixed straightening plate 101 and the movable straightening plate 102 are L-shaped structures with a smaller top and a larger bottom.
[0027] The sliding assembly 2 includes a sliding groove 201, a sliding block 202, a fixed frame 203, a rotating plate 204, a spring 205, a locking groove 206, and a locking block 207. The fixed straightening plate 101 has a sliding groove 201 on the side near the movable straightening plate 102. The sliding block 202 is fixedly connected to the movable straightening plate 102, and the sliding block 202 slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 201. Two fixed frames 203 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed straightening plate 101. The rotating plate 204 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 203 via a rotating shaft A. The two ends of the spring 205 are fixedly connected to the fixed straightening plate 101 and the rotating plate 204, respectively. Six locking grooves 206 are symmetrically arranged in a linear array on the bottom surface of the sliding block 202. The locking block 207 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 204, and the end of the locking block 207 passes through the fixed straightening plate 101. 01 engages with the locking groove 206; the sliding block 202 has a Y-shaped structure, and the dimension of the side of the sliding block 202 closer to the movable straightening plate 102 is smaller than the dimension of the side of the sliding block 202 farther from the movable straightening plate 102, so as to prevent the sliding block 202 from moving out of the sliding groove 201; the fixed frame 203 has a U-shaped structure, and the rotating plate 204 has an L-shaped structure, so as to facilitate the locking block 207 to move out of the locking groove 206 through the lever principle; the locking block 207 has an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the locking block 207 is on the axis of the rotating shaft A, so as to facilitate the locking block 207 to move out of the locking groove 206 smoothly; when the end of the rotating plate 204 contacts the bottom surface of the fixed straightening plate 101, the end of the locking block 207 is inside the fixed straightening plate 101; when the locking block 207 engages with the locking groove 206, the spring 205 is still in a stressed and stretched state.
[0028] This invention utilizes a sliding assembly 2. By pressing the rotating plate 204, the rotating plate 204 rotates via the rotating shaft A and the fixed frame 203, causing the locking block 207 to slide within the locking groove 206. This causes the spring 205 to stretch under pressure until the rotating plate 204 contacts the bottom surface of the fixed straightening plate 101. At this point, the locking block 207 moves out of the locking groove 206. Then, the movable straightening plate 102 is moved, causing it to move closer to or away from the fixed straightening plate 101, thus allowing the sliding block 202 to... The sliding plate 204 slides within the sliding groove 201 until the movable straightening plate 102 moves to the appropriate position. Then, the rotating plate 204 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 205, the rotating plate 204 will rotate in the opposite direction to the fixed frame 203 through the rotating shaft A until the locking block 207 engages with the locking groove 206. At this time, the position of the sliding block 202 within the sliding groove 201 is fixed. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has a simple and reasonable structure and ingenious design, which facilitates the straightening of bottles of different sizes. It has strong adaptability and good performance.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a guide component 3; the guide component 3 is arranged on the fixed straightening plate 101 and the movable straightening plate 102; the guide component 3 includes a receiving groove 301 and a guide block 302; the vertical plates of the fixed straightening plate 101 and the vertical plates of the movable straightening plate 102 are each provided with a receiving groove 301 on their opposite surfaces; a plurality of guide blocks 302 are arranged in a linear array and are rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 301 through a rotating shaft B; the circumferential surface of the guide block 302 is a convex structure, and the guide block 302 is in contact with the surface of the bottle.
[0030] This invention, by setting a guide component 3, allows the automatic bottle unscrambler to transport bottles between the fixed support plate 101 and the movable support plate 102 during the bottle transport process. This causes the guide block 302 to contact the bottle surface and rotate within the receiving groove 301 via the rotating shaft B. The guide block 302 guides the transport of the bottles. Since the circumferential surface of the guide block 302 is convex, the contact area between the guide block 302 and the bottle is reduced, thereby decreasing the friction between them and improving the transport efficiency of the bottles.
[0031] Working principle: In use, first, according to the size of the bottle to be straightened, press the rotating plate 204, causing the rotating plate 204 to rotate via the rotating shaft A and the fixed frame 203, causing the locking block 207 to slide in the locking groove 206, causing the spring 205 to stretch under force until the rotating plate 204 contacts the bottom surface of the fixed straightening plate 101. At this time, the locking block 207 moves out of the locking groove 206. Then, move the movable straightening plate 102, causing it to move closer to or away from the fixed straightening plate 101, causing the sliding block 202 to slide in the sliding groove 201 until the movable straightening plate 102 moves to the appropriate position. Then, release the rotating plate 204. Under the elastic force of the spring 205, the rotating plate 204 will... The movable plate 204 rotates in the opposite direction to the fixed frame 203 via the rotating shaft A until the locking block 207 engages with the locking groove 206. At this time, the sliding block 202 is fixed in position within the sliding groove 201. During the automatic bottle unscrambler's bottle conveying process, the bottle is conveyed between the fixed straightening plate 101 and the movable straightening plate 102, causing the guide block 302 to contact the bottle surface. The guide block 302 rotates within the receiving groove 301 via the rotating shaft B, enabling the guide block 302 to guide the conveying of the bottle. Since the circumferential surface of the guide block 302 has an outward convex structure, the contact area between the guide block 302 and the bottle is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the guide block 302 and the bottle and improving the conveying efficiency of the bottle.
[0032] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
