Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated conveying technology for ceramic bottles, and in particular to a system for preventing ceramic bottles from being scratched during conveying and changing lanes. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automated conveying systems for ceramic bottles generally employ a lane-changing control scheme that combines rigid guiding devices with mechanical limits. For example, stainless steel sliding plates combined with ball-bearing guardrails are used to turn the bottles, or servo motor-driven lane dividers are used to forcibly change the bottle's trajectory. While these technical solutions can achieve basic diversion and transfer functions, they have two core drawbacks:

[0003] Firstly, when the rigid guide component comes into contact with the bottle body, it creates hard friction. Even if a ball bearing structure is used to reduce sliding resistance, local stress concentration will still occur in the contact area of ​​the bottle body, causing the baked decoration layer to wear out.

[0004] Secondly, the sudden speed change during the forced lane change causes a dynamic imbalance in the bottle group. Due to inertia, the subsequent bottles collide, squeeze, and rub against the decelerated bottles in front, causing the surface baking pattern to be worn.

[0005] The aforementioned defects make it difficult for existing technologies to meet the protection requirements of high-precision ceramic bottle conveying. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for conveying and changing the course of ceramic bottles that features dynamic friction suppression, collision energy dissipation, and speed synchronization control. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a system that prevents ceramic bottles from being scratched during transport and rerouting, thus solving the problem that ceramic bottles are easily scratched during transport and rerouting in the prior art.

[0010] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned system for preventing ceramic bottles from being scratched during conveying and changing lanes, the first conveyor chain plate and the second conveyor chain plate are not collinear in the vertical direction.

[0011] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned system for preventing ceramic bottles from being scratched during conveying and changing lanes, the parallel area of ​​the first conveyor chain plate and the second conveyor chain plate is the first area, the end of the first conveyor connecting plate away from the first area is the second area, and the end of the second conveyor connecting plate away from the first area is the third area; a first guardrail is provided in the second area, a second guardrail is provided in the first area, and a third guardrail is provided in the third area; the first guardrail and the third guardrail are both straight guardrails, and the second guardrail is an angled guardrail; the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the third guardrail are connected through each other.

[0014] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned system for preventing ceramic bottles from being scratched during conveying and changing lanes, the detection components are arranged on both sides of the end of the second conveyor chain plate near the first conveyor chain plate. The detection components specifically include a photoelectric transmitter and a photoelectric receiver. The photoelectric transmitter and the photoelectric receiver are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first conveyor chain plate, and the output end and the receiving end of the photoelectric transmitter and the photoelectric receiver are arranged facing each other.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A system for preventing ceramic bottles 4 from being scratched during transport and lane changing includes at least, but is not limited to, a transport assembly 1, an air blowing assembly 2, and a detection assembly 3; the detection assembly 3 is located in the transport assembly 1 near the lane changing point of the ceramic bottle 4; the air blowing assembly 2 is located at the lane changing point of the ceramic bottle 4, and the air outlet of the air blowing assembly 2 is set at a predetermined angle to the front end of the transport assembly 1; the detection assembly 3 is electrically connected to the air blowing assembly 2.

[0031] Based on the above structure, the ceramic bottle 4 is transported from upstream and enters the conveying assembly 1. The conveying assembly 1 is equipped with a lane change position. The detection assembly 3 detects the position of the ceramic bottle 4 and activates the air blowing assembly 2 in conjunction with it. The air blowing assembly 2 starts blowing air at the lane change position, and high-pressure gas is sprayed out through the air blowing assembly 2 to help the ceramic bottle 4 deviate from its original track and avoid collision with the guardrail, thereby preventing the ceramic bottle 4 from being scratched.

[0032] As an example, the conveying assembly 1 may include a first conveyor chain plate 11 and a second conveyor chain plate 12, with at least a portion of the ends of the first conveyor chain plate 11 and the second conveyor chain plate 12 arranged side by side.

[0033] The first conveyor chain plate 11 and the second conveyor chain plate 12 are not collinear in the vertical direction.

[0034] Based on the above structure, the ceramic bottle 4 is continuously conveyed along the length of the production line by the first conveyor chain plate 11 and the second conveyor chain plate 12. At the same time, the first conveyor chain plate 11 and the second conveyor chain plate 12 are not arranged in a collinear manner, so that the ceramic bottle 4 can change lanes in the parallel area of ​​the first conveyor chain plate 11 and the second conveyor chain plate 12. That is, the parallel area of ​​the first conveyor chain plate 11 and the second conveyor chain plate 12 is the lane change point.

[0035] As an example, the area where the first conveyor chain plate and the second conveyor chain plate are parallel is the first area 131, the end of the first conveyor chain plate away from the first area is the second area 132, and the end of the second conveyor chain plate away from the first area is the third area 133.

[0036] A first guardrail 14 is installed in the second area, a second guardrail 15 is installed in the first area, and a third guardrail 16 is installed in the third area; the first guardrail 14 and the third guardrail 16 are both straight guardrails, and the second guardrail 15 is a diagonal guardrail; the first guardrail 14, the second guardrail 15 and the third guardrail 16 are connected through each other.

[0037] Based on the above structure, the ceramic bottle 4 is limited and transported through the first guardrail 14, the second guardrail 15 and the third guardrail 16. The guardrails can prevent the ceramic bottle 4 from falling off the conveyor chain plate, and the inclined second guardrail 15 can protect the ceramic bottle 4 from changing course.

[0038] As an example, the connection between the second guardrail 15 and the first guardrail 14 is the first end 17, and the connection between the second guardrail 15 and the third guardrail 16 is the second end 18; the size of the third guardrail 16 is gradually reduced from the first end 17 to the second end 18; the width of the first end 17 is at least 1.5 times the width of the first guardrail 14.

[0039] Based on the above structure, since the first end 17 is the initial position for the ceramic bottle 4 to change lanes, a sufficiently large space needs to be reserved to allow the ceramic bottle 4 to change lanes evenly; therefore, the size of the first end 17 is set to be at least 1.5 times the width of the first guardrail 14 to facilitate the ceramic bottle 4 to change lanes.

[0040] As an example, a power mechanism 19 is provided at the bottom of the second conveyor chain plate 12, and a roller that cooperates with the second conveyor chain plate 12 is also provided at the power mechanism 19; the entire conveying assembly 1 can be driven to perform conveying operations by the action of the power mechanism 19.

[0041] As an example, the detection component 3 is disposed on both sides of the end of the first conveyor chain plate 11 near the second conveyor chain plate 12. Specifically, the detection component 3 may include a photoelectric transmitter 31 and a photoelectric receiver 32. The photoelectric transmitter 31 and the photoelectric receiver 32 are respectively symmetrically disposed on both sides of the first conveyor chain plate 11, and the output end and the receiving end of the photoelectric transmitter 31 and the photoelectric receiver 32 are arranged facing each other.

[0042] Based on the above structure, when the ceramic bottle 4 passes through the photoelectric transmitter 31 and the photoelectric receiver 32, the light path is blocked. At this time, the air blowing assembly 2 is activated in conjunction with the ceramic bottle 4 to prepare for the blowing operation.

[0043] As an example, the air blowing assembly 2 can be an air inlet pipe 21, a solenoid valve 22, and an air outlet 23; the air inlet pipe 21 is connected to a high-pressure air source, the air outlet 23 is connected to the air inlet pipe 21, the solenoid valve 22 is located at the connection between the air outlet 23 and the air inlet pipe 21, and the solenoid valve 22 is connected to the detection assembly 3.

[0044] Based on the above structure, the air blowing component 2 will be activated only when the detection component 3 detects that a ceramic bottle 4 is being transported from the upstream end. The air blowing component 2 will only be activated when the bottle is detected, and the airflow will simultaneously blow away the residual water stains on the bottle body, reducing the load on the subsequent drying process, and also enabling intelligent control.

[0045] As an example, the air outlet 23 is a duckbill-shaped air mouthpiece, and the air pressure range in the air inlet pipe 21 is 0.3-0.5 MPa;

[0046] Based on the above structure, the duckbill-shaped air nozzle can apply directional thrust to the ceramic bottle 4, accelerate its lane-changing process, and rationally set the blowing air pressure to avoid blowing the ceramic bottle 4 away from the predetermined position.

[0047] As an example, the air outlet 23 is inclined at the side of the first conveyor chain plate 11, with an inclination angle of 30°-45°, and the airflow direction of the air outlet 23 is consistent with the lane change trajectory.

[0048] This solution replaces mechanical force with airflow to achieve contactless lane changing; at the same time, through the linkage mechanism of photoelectric detection and solenoid valve 22, it realizes intelligent airflow setting, reduces usage energy, and can also remove water vapor on ceramic bottle 4 when blowing, realizing the synergistic effect of airflow acceleration and auxiliary drying.

[0049] The workflow of this solution:

[0050] 1. When the detection component 3 detects that the bottle has entered the lane change zone, it triggers the solenoid valve 22 to open the air blowing device;

[0051] 2. The high-pressure airflow propels the bottle to quickly change lanes, and then the solenoid valve 22 closes;

[0052] 3. The system operates in a loop to adapt to the needs of continuous production.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
