A bottle-cutting and bottle-supporting device for a high-speed conveyor

Abstract

This utility model relates to the technical field of material conveying equipment, and discloses a bottle-cutting and bottle-supporting device for a high-speed conveyor. It includes a support frame, a conveyor belt fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt, a telescopic component on the side wall of the fixed plate, and a cleaning component on the side wall of the fixed plate. The telescopic component includes a telescopic rod, a connecting frame on the side wall of the fixed plate, and a bottle-supporting wheel rotatably connected inside the connecting frame. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame. In this utility model, the telescopic rod extends and retracts, causing the intermediate fixed frame to move. Through the linkage of a rotating rod, a slider, and other components, the spacing between the bottle-supporting wheels can be flexibly adjusted. When a bottle passes through, the bottle-supporting wheel contacts the bottle body and rotates with the conveyor belt to straighten the tilted bottle, ensuring it moves along the trajectory. This solves the problem of unstable bottle support or bottle jamming caused by the fixed spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels in traditional devices, which cannot adapt to bottles of different diameters.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a bottle-cutting and bottle-supporting device for a high-speed conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, high-speed conveyors are key equipment for continuous bottle transport, and their conveying efficiency directly affects the overall production line's capacity. However, during high-speed transport, bottles are prone to tilting, shifting, or even tipping over due to factors such as conveyor belt vibration, differences in bottle shape, and initial placement deviations. This not only disrupts subsequent processes (such as labeling, filling, and testing) but also causes breakage due to bottle collisions, increasing material waste and production costs. Therefore, to ensure the stability and orderliness of bottles during high-speed transport, specialized bottle-cutting and guiding devices are needed on the high-speed conveyor. Through precise support and posture correction of the bottles, the continuous and efficient operation of the production line is guaranteed.

[0003] In existing technologies, bottle-cutting and bottle-supporting devices for high-speed conveyors typically employ a fixed-gap bottle-supporting structure. The core of this system involves symmetrical bottle-supporting plates or wheels on both sides of the conveyor channel, using mechanical guidance to support the bottles. The technical principle is as follows: when a bottle enters the support area with the conveyor belt, the bottle-supporting plates or wheels on both sides contact the bottle body. The friction between the bottle body and the support components restricts the lateral movement of the bottle, while the shape of the support components guides the bottle to maintain an upright posture, preventing tilting or tipping. Some devices also incorporate a bottle-cutting mechanism to temporarily intercept bottles according to production needs, enabling grouping or separate conveying of bottles.

[0004] However, the spacing of bottle-supporting structures is mostly fixed, meaning the distance between the bottle-supporting plates or wheels on both sides cannot be adjusted according to the bottle diameter. When the production line needs to switch between different bottle sizes, the fixed spacing leads to insufficient contact between smaller diameter bottles and the bottle-supporting components during transport, failing to effectively limit their lateral sway and causing bottle instability. Meanwhile, larger diameter bottles are squeezed by the bottle-supporting components on both sides due to the insufficient spacing, even causing bottle jamming, affecting transport efficiency and bottle integrity. Therefore, a bottle-cutting and supporting device for a high-speed conveyor is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a bottle-cutting and bottle-supporting device for a high-speed conveyor, which aims to improve the problem of unstable bottle support or bottle jamming caused by the fixed spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels in the existing technology, which cannot adapt to bottles of different diameters.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A bottle-cutting and bottle-supporting device for a high-speed conveyor includes a support frame, a conveyor belt fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt, a telescopic component provided on the side wall of the fixed plate, and a cleaning component provided on the side wall of the fixed plate.

[0008] The telescopic assembly includes a telescopic rod, a connecting frame is provided on the side wall of the fixed plate, a bottle-supporting wheel is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the fixed plate, the side wall of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the middle fixed frame, sliding groove frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed plate, a fixed rod is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove frames, a slider is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed rod, a first spring is sleeved on the side wall of the fixed rod, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slider, and the side wall of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed frame.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning roller, the sidewall of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame, and the cleaning roller is disposed at both ends of the connecting frame;

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A fixing block is fixedly connected inside the connecting frame, and the cleaning roller is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixing block.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] A sleeve is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame, and a locking post is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The side wall of the locking post is slidably connected inside the cleaning roller.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A pull rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking post, and the side wall of the pull rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve;

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The pull rod is rotatably connected to a pull ring inside, and a second spring is sleeved on the side wall of the pull rod;

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the sleeve, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking pin;

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the slide frame, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, when adjusting the spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels, the telescopic rod extends and retracts, causing the middle fixed frame to move. The rotating rod pushes the slider to slide along the fixed rod within the slide groove frame. The first spring is compressed, and the slider drives the rotating rod to move the two fixed frames and the connecting frame, thereby adjusting the spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels. When the bottle passes through, the bottle-supporting wheels contact the bottle body and rotate with the conveyor belt to straighten the tilted bottle, ensuring that it moves along the track. This solves the problem of unstable bottle support or bottle jamming caused by the fixed spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels in traditional devices, which cannot adapt to bottles of different diameters. The above technical solution improves the adaptability of the device to bottles of different specifications.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, the cleaning rollers at both ends of the connecting frame contact the bottle body to remove impurities and residual liquid. When replacing the cleaning roller, pull the pull ring, which drives the locking pin to be pulled out via the pull rod. The second spring is compressed, and the cleaning roller can be removed by pulling it out along the fixing block. When installing a new one, slide it in along the fixing block, release the pull ring, and the second spring returns to its original position so that the locking pin is inserted and fixed. This solves the problem that impurities on the bottle body affect the bottle-holding effect during the bottle-holding process, and that the replacement of cleaning parts is cumbersome. The above technical solution improves the cleanliness of the bottle-holding environment and the replacement efficiency of cleaning parts. Attached Figure Description

There is a telescopic rod 7, which provides telescopic power to drive the middle fixed frame 6 to move, providing a power source for adjusting the spacing of the bottle-holding wheels 5. The side wall of the telescopic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the middle fixed frame 6. The two sides of the fixed plate 3 are fixedly connected to the sliding groove frame 8. The inside of the sliding groove frame 8 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 9. The fixed rod 9 is used to support the slider 10 and guide its sliding, thereby ensuring the linearity of the slider 10's movement and providing a basis for the transmission of the rotating rod 12, ensuring the smooth movement of the connecting frame 4. The side wall of the fixed rod 9 is slidably connected to the slider 10. The slider 10 is used to connect the rotating rod 12 and transmit power, thereby converting the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 7 into the opening and closing movement of the connecting frame 4, realizing the flexible adjustment of the spacing of the bottle-holding wheels 5. The side wall of the fixed rod 9 is fitted with a first spring 11. One end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sliding groove frame 8, and the other end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 10. The side wall of the slider 10 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 12, and the side wall of the rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 6.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning roller 13, which is used to wipe the surface of the bottle support wheel 5 to remove impurities and residual liquid from the bottle support wheel 5. The sidewall of the cleaning roller 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 4. The cleaning roller 13 is located at both ends of the connecting frame 4. A fixing block 14 is fixedly connected inside the connecting frame 4 to position and support the cleaning roller 13. The cleaning roller 13 is slidably connected to the sidewall of the fixing block 14. A sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the connecting frame 4. A locking post 16 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 15 to fix the position of the cleaning roller 13, thereby preventing the cleaning roller 13 from falling off during operation and ensuring the stability of the cleaning process. The sidewall of the locking post 16 is slidably connected inside the cleaning roller 13. The locking post 16 cooperates with the cleaning roller 13 to perform insertion and removal movements. The cleaning roller 13 is inserted under the action of spring 19 or pulled out under external force, achieving the effect of quickly fixing or loosening the cleaning roller 13. A pull rod 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking post 16. The pull rod 17 is used to drive the locking post 16 to move, thereby facilitating the operator to control the insertion and removal of the locking post 16 and simplifying the replacement operation of the cleaning roller 13.

One end of the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sleeve 15, and the other end of the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the locking post 16.

[0036] Working principle: When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels 5 to accommodate bottles of different diameters, the telescopic rod 7 is activated and performs telescopic movement, which drives the intermediate fixed frame 6 connected to it to move. The movement of the intermediate fixed frame 6 causes the rotating rod 12 to move and push the sliders 10 on both sides, so that the sliders 10 slide along the fixed rod 9 in the slide box 8. At this time, the first spring 11 is compressed. Under the drive of the sliders 10, the rotating rod 12 drives the fixed frames 6 on both sides and the connecting frame 4 to move together, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spacing of the bottle-supporting wheels 5. When the bottle passes through, the bottle-supporting wheels 5 contact the bottle body and rotate with the bottle body under the drive of the conveyor belt 2, straightening the tilted bottle and ensuring that the bottle moves along the predetermined trajectory.

[0037] During the operation of the bottle support roller 5, the cleaning rollers 13 at both ends of the connecting frame 4 contact the bottle surface to remove attached impurities and residual liquid. When the cleaning roller 13 needs to be replaced, the operator pulls the pull ring 18, which drives the locking pin 16 to be pulled out of the cleaning roller 13 through the pull rod 17. At this time, the second spring 19 is compressed, and the cleaning roller 13 can be pulled out along the fixing block 14 to complete the disassembly. When installing a new cleaning roller 13, slide it into place along the fixing block 14, release the pull ring 18, and the second spring 19 returns to its original position, pushing the locking pin 16 into the cleaning roller 13 to complete the fixing of the cleaning roller 13.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
