Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a bottle feeding device used in a drum-type bottle washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern packaging and beverage production industry, drum-type bottle washing machines have become indispensable equipment in production lines due to their high-efficiency cleaning capabilities. Their conveyor lines bear the crucial task of continuously and stably transporting bottles to the washing station. However, in actual operation, large gaps easily appear between bottles, causing discontinuous conveying, a problem that has always plagued production companies.

[0003] From the perspective of conveyor speed, excessively high conveyor speeds can increase the spacing between bottles placed one by one due to inertia and acceleration. Unstable speeds, such as those caused by poor motor performance or inverter malfunctions, can also lead to inconsistent bottle spacing. Regarding the bottle feeding system, manual bottle feeding speed is difficult to control, and if the automatic bottle feeding equipment is not matched to the conveyor line efficiency, or if internal problems such as bottle jamming or blockage occur, or if the feeding position is inaccurate, discontinuous feeding will occur, affecting the close arrangement of bottles on the conveyor line. Furthermore, differences in bottle shape, size, and weight will cause them to be affected differently by friction and inertia during transport, leading to increased spacing. Within the conveyor line structure, wear on the conveyor belt surface, insufficient roller spacing and installation precision, and malfunctioning guide devices can all disrupt the normal transport of bottles. External environmental factors such as temperature and humidity changes, vibration, and airflow interference can also disrupt the stable arrangement of bottles on the conveyor line.

[0004] The presence of these gaps not only reduces the conveying efficiency of the drum-type bottle washing machine's conveyor line, resulting in a decrease in the number of bottles washed per unit time and an increase in cleaning costs, but also affects the uniformity of the cleaning effect. Due to the uneven spacing between the bottles, it is difficult to accurately control the coverage and intensity of the cleaning solution sprayed by the bottle washing machine's nozzles, leading to some bottles not being thoroughly cleaned and posing hygiene and safety hazards.

[0005] Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively solve this problem, and there is an urgent need for a bottle feeding auxiliary device that can eliminate gaps between bottles in order to improve the overall performance and production efficiency of drum-type bottle washing machines. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a bottle feeding device for use in a drum-type bottle washing machine.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0008] A bottle feeding device for a drum-type bottle washing machine includes a base. A fixed seat is provided on the bottom wall of the base. A motor is provided on one side of the inner bottom wall of the base. The output end of the motor is locked with a lead screw through a coupling, and the other end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base through a bearing. A connecting block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. A connecting rod is provided on the top wall of the connecting block. The top wall of the connecting rod extends out of the base, and a connecting plate is provided on its rear side wall. A motor is provided on the left side wall of the connecting plate. A round rod is locked with the output end of the motor through a coupling. The outer wall of the round rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate through a bearing. A push plate is provided on the right end wall of the round rod. A material blocking mechanism is provided on the right side of the top wall of the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the material blocking mechanism includes a support column, a support plate on the rear side wall of the support column, a motor three on the left side wall of the support plate, a rotating rod locked to the output end of the motor three via a coupling, the outer wall of the rotating rod being rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support plate via a bearing three, and a baffle on the right end wall of the rotating rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer ring of the bearing three is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate through the bearing seat, and the inner ring of the bearing three is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the baffle and the push plate are located on the same plane.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper end face of the base is provided with an elongated hole, and the outer wall of the connecting rod is placed inside the elongated hole.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This device, through the coordinated operation of components such as motor one, lead screw, and connecting block, can precisely control the horizontal movement of the pusher plate; motor two drives the round rod to rotate the pusher plate, and motor three drives the baffle plate to rotate. The three work together to effectively block and push the bottles. When the conveyor line stops, the pusher plate can push the bottles between itself and the baffle plate to the right, eliminating the gap. This solves the problem of excessive bottle spacing caused by factors such as unstable conveying speed, defects in the bottle supply system, and differences in the bottles themselves, ensuring that the bottles are tightly arranged and continuously conveyed to the drum-type bottle washing machine, greatly improving the stability of the conveying process.

[0015] This device effectively reduces the low conveying efficiency caused by large bottle gaps, increasing the number of bottles conveyed to the washing station per unit time, thereby improving the overall production efficiency of the drum washing machine. Furthermore, the stable and continuous conveying process reduces equipment idling and adjustment time, lowers energy consumption and the frequency of manual intervention, further reducing cleaning costs and bringing significant economic benefits to enterprises.

[0021] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] See Figure 1-2 As shown, a bottle feeding device for a drum-type bottle washing machine includes a base 1. A fixed seat 2 is provided on the bottom wall of the base 1. A motor 3 is provided on one side of the inner bottom wall of the base 1. The output end of the motor 3 is locked with a lead screw 4 through a coupling. The other end of the lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 1 through a bearing 5. A connecting block 6 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 4. A connecting rod 7 is provided on the top wall of the connecting block 6. The top wall of the connecting rod 7 extends out of the base 1, and a connecting plate 8 is provided on the rear side wall. A motor 9 is provided on the left side wall of the connecting plate 8. A round rod 10 is locked with the output end of the motor 9 through a coupling. The outer wall of the round rod 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 8 through a bearing 11. A push plate 12 is provided on the right end wall of the round rod 10. A material blocking mechanism is provided on the right side of the top wall of the base 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the material blocking mechanism includes a support column 13, a support plate 14 on the rear side wall of the support column 13, a motor 15 on the left side wall of the support plate 14, a rotating rod 16 locked to the output end of the motor 15 via a coupling, the outer wall of the rotating rod 16 being rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support plate 14 via a bearing 17, and a baffle 18 on the right end wall of the rotating rod 16. When the motor 15 is started, it causes the rotating rod 16 to drive the baffle 18 to rotate, rotating the baffle 18 to the rear side, thereby blocking the bottles on the conveyor line.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer ring of bearing 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of support plate 14 through bearing seat, and the inner ring of bearing 17 is interference-fitted to the outer wall of rotating rod 16. Bearing 17 fixes rotating rod 16 and facilitates rotation of rotating rod 16 through bearing 17.

[0025] Furthermore, the baffle 18 and the push plate 12 are located on the same plane. The push plate 12 moves to the right and pushes the bottle to the right, eliminating the gap between the push plate 12 and the baffle 18.

[0026] Furthermore, an elongated hole is provided through the upper end face of the base 1, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 7 is placed in the elongated hole. After the motor 1 is started, the lead screw 4 is rotated. The lead screw 4 causes the connecting block 6 to move the connecting rod 7, the connecting plate 8, the motor 2 9, the round rod 10 and the push plate 12 to the right, so as to facilitate the movement of the connecting rod 17.

[0027] For those skilled in the art, all electrical components and parts in this case are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. All models are compatible with this solution and can operate normally. All electrical components in this case are connected to their compatible power supplies through wires. According to the actual situation, a suitable controller is selected to meet the control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle below, and the electrical connection is completed by the sequential operation of each electrical component. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the art, and the electrical control will not be described further.

[0028] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0029] When using this bottle feeding auxiliary device, first secure the device to one side of the drum washing machine conveyor line by welding or tightening it with high-strength bolts through the fixed base 2, ensuring that it matches the running direction of the conveyor line and that the installation accuracy meets the usage requirements.

[0030] When the conveyor line starts to transport bottles, the motor 15 is started, which drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate at a preset speed and torque, causing the baffle 18 to rotate smoothly around a fixed fulcrum to the designated position on the rear side. At this time, the baffle 18 forms a blocking surface in a posture perpendicular to the conveyor line, accurately intercepting the continuously moving bottles on the conveyor line, and providing a positioning reference for subsequent gap elimination operations.

[0031] Subsequently, motor 29 is started, and the push plate 12 is rotated to the rear through the round rod 10, so that the push plate 12 is adjusted to the initial working position parallel to the conveyor line and located behind the bottle. After the push plate 12 completes the rotation and positioning, the conveyor line is controlled to stop running to ensure that the bottle is in a stationary state, creating stable conditions for gap adjustment.

[0032] Next, the motor 3 is started, and its output shaft drives the lead screw 4 to rotate with high precision. Through the helical transmission between the lead screw 4 and the connecting block 6, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion. During this process, the connecting block 6 drives the linkage mechanism composed of the connecting rod 7, the connecting plate 8, the motor 9, the round rod 10 and the push plate 12 to move to the right at a set speed and stroke. During the translation process, the push plate 12, with its flat and wear-resistant working surface, pushes the bottles between the baffle 18 and itself to the right in sequence until the gaps between the bottles are completely eliminated, achieving a tight arrangement.

[0033] After the gap is eliminated, reverse the start motor 315 to make the baffle 18 rotate quickly back to the initial non-working position to avoid obstructing the subsequent bottle conveying. Then start the conveyor line and keep the push plate 12 running synchronously with the conveyor line. Use the pushing force of the push plate 12 and the friction of the conveyor line to smoothly convey the closely arranged bottles onto the drum of the drum washing machine.

[0034] After the bottle is conveyed, motor 29 and motor 13 are started in reverse order. Motor 29 drives push plate 12 to rotate and reset, returning it to its initial position. Motor 13 drives screw 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving push plate 12 to move to the left and reset. Thus, the whole device completes one bottle feeding operation cycle. The above operation process can be repeated to achieve continuous and efficient bottle feeding.

[0035] In addition, all motors in the device are equipped with frequency converters, which can precisely adjust the speed and torque according to different bottle sizes and conveyor line speeds. Each transmission component is equipped with limit sensors and overload protection devices. When abnormal situations such as bottle jamming occur, the machine can automatically trigger shutdown protection and issue an alarm through the control system, which makes it easy for operators to troubleshoot in a timely manner and ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

[0036] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, alterations, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should be protected by the present utility model.
