[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, a bottle unscrambler includes a main body 1, a bottle unscrambler tray 4, and a material trough 3. The main body 1 has an assembly cavity, specifically a square box, the interior of which is the assembly cavity. The bottle unscrambler tray 4 is located at one end of the assembly cavity, and the material trough 3 is located at the other end. The material trough 3 is a frustum-shaped cone with the smaller end facing downwards. The bottle unscrambler tray 4 is inclined and extends towards the lower edge of the material trough 3. A guide port 8 corresponding to the lower edge of the bottle unscrambler tray 4 is located on the lower edge of the material trough 3. A guide plate 10 is located above the bottle unscrambler tray 4 on the outside of the material trough 3, and is disposed on the outer wall of the guide port 8. A reverse unscrambler is provided on the guide plate 10. The nozzles on the bottle tray 4 rotate in the opposite direction, so that the plastic bottles entering the bottle tray 4 from the material trough 3 can move to the side opposite to the rotation direction of the bottle tray 4, thereby increasing the sorting time of the bottle tray 4 and preventing the plastic bottles from accumulating at the guide port 8. The bottle tray 4 is inclinedly distributed in the assembly cavity of the main body 1, and the inclination angle of the bottle tray 4 is 30°-45°, preferably 30°. A rotating shaft is provided in the middle of the bottle tray 4, and a drive device 13 is connected to the rotating shaft. The drive device 13 is a drive motor and is fixed to the inner wall of the main body 1 by bolts.

[0028] The main body 1 is provided with an annular baffle 14 above the bottle-scraping tray 4. The annular baffle 14 extends upward along the axis of the bottle-scraping tray 4, thus cooperating with the bottle-scraping tray 4 to form a groove structure. The main body 1 is provided with a discharge groove 5 extending outward from the annular baffle 14. The outer edge of the bottle-scraping tray 4 is provided with a plurality of bottle-holding notches evenly distributed around its circumference. The width of the bottle-holding notches is adapted to the diameter of the smaller end of the plastic bottle. Thus, as the plastic bottle rotates in the bottle-scraping tray 4, the smaller end of the plastic bottle extends into the bottle-holding notch and moves upward with the rotation of the bottle-scraping tray 4, and is discharged after entering the discharge groove 5, ensuring that the discharged plastic bottle remains in the same direction. In this embodiment, the side of the bottle-holding notch corresponding to the rotation direction of the bottle-scraping tray 4 is provided with an inclined surface, which facilitates the insertion of the smaller end of the plastic bottle into the bottle-holding notch and guides the larger end of the plastic bottle, so that the larger end of the plastic bottle slides down quickly along the inclined surface.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the bottle tray 4 is detachably connected to a stop block 7. The gap between two adjacent stop blocks 7 forms a bottle-holding notch. The main body of the stop block 7 is square. One end of the stop block 7 corresponding to the outer edge of the bottle tray 4 is provided with a corresponding arc-shaped surface. The thickness of the bottle tray 4 and the stop block 7 are matched. An inclined surface is provided on the stop block 7. A connecting plate extends from the side of the stop block 7 corresponding to the bottle tray 4. The upper surface of the bottle tray 4 is provided with an assembly groove corresponding to the connecting plate. The connecting plate is fixed in the assembly groove by bolts to ensure the flatness of the upper surface of the bottle tray 4 after the stop block 7 is assembled.

[0030] The stop block 7 can be disassembled, and the notch of the bottle can be adjusted by replacing it with a stop block 7 of different sizes and specifications, so that the device can be adapted to a wider range.

[0031] The discharge trough 5 is a U-shaped trough with its opening side pointing upwards along the axial direction of the bottle-collecting tray 4. The side plate of the discharge trough 5 at one end of the bottle-collecting tray 4 extends inclined towards the bottom plate to reach below the bottle-collecting tray 4, so that the bottle-collecting tray 4 inserted into the bottle-holding notch can enter the discharge trough 5. In addition, a support plate 6 corresponding to the discharge trough 5 is provided above the bottle-collecting tray 4. The support plate 6 is located on one side above the bottle-collecting tray 4, with its lower end extending towards the side of the bottle-holding notch corresponding to the center of the bottle-collecting tray 4. The upper edge of the support plate 6 is close to the lower edge of the inner wall of the discharge trough 5, which can guide the larger end of the plastic bottle to ensure that the plastic bottle enters the discharge trough 5 smoothly.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the annular baffle 14 is provided with a pusher part 12 corresponding to the discharge groove 5 along its upper edge. The pusher part 12 is a detachable arc-shaped structure. The upper end of the pusher part 12 extends to the upper part of the lower end of the discharge groove 5. The pusher part 12 is an arc-shaped plate. The circular diameter corresponding to the main body of the pusher part 12 is smaller than the circular diameter corresponding to the annular baffle 14. The distance between the pusher part 12 and the bottle notch corresponding to the center side of the bottle tray 4 is not less than the diameter of the smaller end of the plastic bottle, thereby limiting the smaller end of the plastic bottle and ensuring the stability of the plastic bottle before entering the discharge groove 5.

[0033] The main body 1 has a positioning plate 11 parallel to the bottle tray 4 inside. The positioning plate 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the main body 1. There is a gap between the positioning plate 11 and the bottle tray 4 corresponding to the plastic bottle. Since the inner wall diameter of the main body of the push part 12 is smaller than the corresponding outer wall diameter of the block 7, the push part 12 has a notch corresponding to the block 7 on the side near the annular baffle 14 so that the block 7 can operate normally. There are outwardly folded fixing parts at both ends of the push part 12. After the fixing parts extend outward from the outer side of the circumference corresponding to the block 7, they are connected to the positioning plate 11 through the fixing plate 9.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom of the material trough 3 is provided with a conveyor belt 2 corresponding to the material guide port 8. The conveyor belt 2 is adapted to the shape of the bottom of the material trough 3. The guide plate 10 is an L-shaped plate set on the side of the material guide port 8 corresponding to the rotation direction of the bottle tray 4, so that the plastic bottle is guided away from the material guide port 8 by the guide plate 10. The air nozzle is connected to the gas cylinder.

[0035] A flexible curtain is provided on the outside of the discharge port and is located between the guide port 8 and the air nozzle. This prevents the gas from the air nozzle from entering the material collection tank 3 without affecting the discharge of the plastic bottle.

[0036] 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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model.
