The material spacing adjustment device is disposed on a conveyor belt for conveying materials and includes at least one adjustment disc. The adjustment disc is driven to rotate and is disposed above the conveyor belt, its rotation direction being in the same direction as the conveyor belt, and the linear speed of the adjustment disc's rotation is slower than the conveyor belt's conveying speed; the adjustment disc includes an interference portion for interfering with the flowing material. The interference portion forms interference with the material to reduce the movement speed of the current material, thereby adjusting the spacing between the current material and the previous material. The production equipment includes material spacing adjustment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cosmetic manufacturing technology, and in particular to a material spacing adjustment device and production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cosmetics refer to chemical industrial products or fine chemical products that are applied to any part of the human body surface, such as skin, hair, nails, lips, and teeth, by means of smearing, spraying, or other similar methods, to achieve the purpose of cleaning, maintaining, beautifying, modifying and altering appearance, or correcting body odor and maintaining a good condition.

[0003] In cosmetic production, multiple materials (such as bottles and cans) are placed sequentially on a conveyor belt. However, in actual production, these materials are often arranged haphazardly on the conveyor belt, which can negatively impact subsequent filling and packaging processes. Overcrowding can cause filling or packaging equipment to miss processing certain materials, and uneven spacing between materials can also hinder the smooth operation of subsequent filling and packaging steps. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The interference portion interferes with the material to reduce the current material's movement speed and adjust the distance between the current material and the previous material.

[0008] In the first aspect of the embodiment, the adjusting discs are implemented as two; the two adjusting discs are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, and their rotation directions are both in the same direction as the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0009] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the spacing between the two adjusting discs is adjustable.

[0010] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the spacing between the two regulating discs allows only a single piece of material to pass through.

[0011] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the two adjusting discs clamp the current material to reduce the movement speed of the current material.

[0012] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the interference portion is formed on the outer edge surface of the adjustment disk; at least one soft pad is provided around the interference portion.

[0013] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the rotational speed of the regulating disc is adjustable.

[0014] In an embodiment of the first aspect, a driving mechanism is further included; the driving mechanism includes a first driving member; the first driving member is connected to the adjusting disk to drive the adjusting disk to rotate.

[0015] In a first aspect embodiment, the driving mechanism further includes a second driving member; the second driving member is drivably connected to the first driving member to drive the first driving member and the adjusting disc to move closer to or away from the conveyor belt.

[0016] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a production apparatus, including the aforementioned material spacing adjustment device.

[0017] As described above, embodiments of this disclosure provide a material spacing adjustment device and a production equipment. The material spacing adjustment device is disposed on a conveyor belt for conveying materials and includes at least one adjustment disc. The adjustment disc is rotatably disposed above the conveyor belt, its rotation direction conforming to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and the linear velocity of the adjustment disc's rotation is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor belt; the adjustment disc includes an interference portion for interfering with the flowing material. The interference portion interferes with the material to reduce the movement speed of the current material, thereby adjusting the spacing between the current material and the previous material.

[0029] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains can readily implement it. This disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0030] In this disclosure, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic represented in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the representation of this disclosure, "a set" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] For the purpose of clarity, devices unrelated to the description are omitted, and the same or similar components throughout the specification are given the same reference numerals.

[0033] Throughout this specification, when it is said that a device is "connected" to another device, this includes not only "direct connection" but also "indirect connection" by placing other components in between. Furthermore, when it is said that a device "comprises" a certain constituent element, unless otherwise stated otherwise, this does not exclude other constituent elements, but rather implies that other constituent elements may be included.

[0034] While the terms first, second, etc., are used in some examples herein to refer to various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. For example, first interface and second interface, etc., are used. Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to also include the plural forms unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” indicate the presence of the stated feature, step, operation, element, module, item, kind, and / or group, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, modules, items, kinds, and / or groups. The terms “or” and “and / or” as used herein are interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination thereof. Thus, “A, B, or C” or “A, B, and / or C” means “any one of: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B, and C.” Exceptions to this definition will only occur if the combination of elements, functions, steps, or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

[0037] Cosmetics refer to chemical industrial products or fine chemical products that are applied to any part of the human body surface, such as skin, hair, nails, lips, and teeth, by means of smearing, spraying, or other similar methods, to achieve the purpose of cleaning, maintaining, beautifying, modifying and altering appearance, or correcting body odor and maintaining a good condition.

[0038] In cosmetic production, multiple materials (such as bottles and cans) are placed sequentially on a conveyor belt. However, in actual production, these materials are often arranged haphazardly on the conveyor belt, which can negatively impact subsequent filling and packaging processes. Overcrowding can cause filling or packaging equipment to miss processing certain materials, and uneven spacing between materials can also hinder the smooth operation of subsequent filling and packaging steps.

[0039] Based on the above problems, the adjusting disc in this embodiment of the present disclosure can contact the material being conveyed on the conveyor belt. By having its own speed slower than the speed of the conveyor belt, it reduces the movement speed of the material in contact with the adjusting disc on the conveyor belt, thereby increasing the distance between the material and the previous material.

[0040] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the material spacing adjustment device in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 In the example, the material spacing adjustment device is installed on a conveyor belt 10, which is used to transport materials. Figure 1 The dashed line indicates the material being conveyed. The material spacing adjustment device is disposed on the conveyor belt 10 for conveying the material; the material spacing adjustment device includes at least one adjustment disc 20. The adjustment disc 20 is rotatably disposed above the conveyor belt 10, its rotation direction being in the same direction as the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 10, and the linear velocity of the adjustment disc 20 is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 10; the adjustment disc 20 includes an interference portion 21 for interfering with the flowing material. The interference portion 21 interferes with the material to reduce the current material's movement speed, thereby adjusting the spacing between the current material and the previous material.

[0041] The advantage of the above configuration is that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotating adjustment disk 20 can contact the material being conveyed on the conveyor belt 10. By having its own speed slower than the speed of the conveyor belt 10, the material in contact with the adjustment disk 20 can reduce its movement speed on the conveyor belt 10, thereby increasing the distance between it and the previous material.

[0042] It is understood that the interference can be implemented by the interference portion 21 of the regulating disc 20 and the frame on the conveyor frame to which the conveyor belt 10 is connected. For example, the material is held between the regulating disc 20 and the frame and moves with the linear velocity of the regulating disc 20, thereby reducing the speed of the material on the conveyor belt 10.

[0043] For example, the material may be implemented as a pallet or a product.

[0044] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the adjustment disc 20 in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 In the example, the adjustment disk 20 is implemented as a circle, and the interference portion 21 is formed on the outer edge surface of the adjustment disk 20.

[0045] For example, at least one soft pad 22 is provided around the interference portion 21. The soft pad 22 can both protect the material being interfered with and increase the friction between the interference portion 21 and the material, thereby improving the effect of the adjusting disc 20 in reducing the material movement speed. For example, the soft pad 22 is made of silicone or rubber.

[0046] exist Figure 2 In this example, two pads 22 are implemented. The two pads 22 are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the adjustment disk 20 at the top and bottom of the adjustment disk 20. Those skilled in the art will understand that this reduces the amount of pads 22 used when the adjustment disk 20 is thick, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0047] For example, the thickness of the adjusting disc 20 varies with the thickness of the material being interfered with, so as to be suitable for materials of different heights and improve the applicability of the material spacing adjusting device.

[0048] For example, the area where the adjusting disc 20 overlaps vertically with the conveyor belt 10 is adjustable. This allows it to accommodate materials of different widths, further improving the applicability of the material spacing adjustment device.

[0049] For example, the rotational speed of the adjusting disc 20 is adjustable. Those skilled in the art will understand that by controlling the rotational speed of the adjusting disc 20, the distance between two adjacent materials passing through the adjusting disc 20 can be controlled. That is, when the rotational speed of the adjusting disc 20 is high, the distance between two adjacent materials passing through the adjusting disc 20 is smaller. When the rotational speed of the adjusting disc 20 is low, the distance between two adjacent materials passing through the adjusting disc 20 is larger.

[0050] Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the drive mechanism 30 in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 In this example, the material spacing adjustment device further includes a drive mechanism 30. The drive mechanism 30 includes a first drive member 31, which is driven and connected to the adjustment disk 20 to drive the adjustment disk 20 to rotate. Exemplarily, the first drive member 31 is implemented as a servo motor with adjustable speed.

[0051] exist Figure 3 In the example, the drive mechanism 30 includes a second drive member 32, one end of which is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame where the conveyor belt 10 is located, and the other end is drivenly connected to the first drive member 31 to drive the first drive member 31 and the adjusting plate 20 to move closer to or away from the conveyor belt 10. Exemplarily, the second drive member 32 is implemented as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0052] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a pair of adjustment discs 20 implemented in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 In this example, two regulating discs 20 are implemented. The two regulating discs 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 10, and the rotation direction of each regulating disc 20 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 10. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 4 In the example, the interference is implemented jointly by the interference portions 21 of the two regulating discs 20. For example, the material is held between the two regulating discs 20 and moves with the linear velocity of the two regulating discs 20, thereby reducing the speed of the material on the conveyor belt 10. Preferably, the two regulating discs 20 rotate at the same speed.

[0053] For example, Figure 4 The specific structure of the adjustment disk 20 in the embodiment is the same as Figure 2 The same applies as shown, so it will not be repeated here.

[0054] For example, the spacing between each of the two adjusting discs 20 is adjustable to clamp materials of different widths.

[0055] Figure 5 The following is a description of this disclosure. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the drive mechanism 30 in the first embodiment. Figure 5 In the example, the first adjusting disc 20A of the two adjusting discs 20 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame connected to the conveyor belt 10, and the second adjusting disc 20B is disposed on the conveyor frame connected to the conveyor belt 10, either close to or away from the conveyor belt 10. Exemplarily, the drive mechanism 30 includes a third drive member 33, a fourth drive member 34, and a fifth drive member 35. One end of the third drive member 33 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the other end is drivenly connected to the first adjusting disc 20A. One end of the fourth drive member 34 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the other end is drivenly connected to the fifth drive member 35; the fifth drive member 35 is drivenly connected to the second adjusting disc 20B. Exemplarily, the third drive member 33 and the fifth drive member 35 are implemented as adjustable-speed servo motors, and the fourth drive member 34 is implemented as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or electric cylinder.

[0056] Figure 6 The following is a description of this disclosure. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the drive mechanism 30 in the second embodiment. Figure 6 In the example, each of the adjustment discs 20 is connected to a conveyor frame connected to the conveyor belt 10 via a drive mechanism 30. Exemplarily, each drive mechanism 30 includes a sixth drive member 36 and a seventh drive member 37. One end of the sixth drive member 36 in each drive mechanism 30 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the other end is drivenly connected to the seventh drive member 37. The other end of the seventh drive member 37 is drivenly connected to one of the adjustment discs 20. Exemplarily, the sixth drive member 36 is implemented as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or electric cylinder; the seventh drive member 37 is implemented as a servo motor with adjustable speed.

[0057] Back to Figure 4 In this example, the spacing between the two adjusting discs 20 is configured to allow only a single material to pass through at a time. Those skilled in the art will understand that the advantage of this configuration is that it avoids the inability to effectively adjust the spacing between adjacent materials due to multiple materials passing through the spacing between the two adjusting discs 20 simultaneously. Exemplarily, the adjustment of the spacing between the two adjusting discs 20 can be achieved through… Figure 5 or Figure 6 Adjust the method as shown in the example.

[0058] For example, when the material is conveyed on the conveyor belt 10 to a position close to the two regulating discs 20, the arcuate edges of the two regulating discs 20 can guide the material between the two regulating discs 20 so that it can be clamped by the two regulating discs 20.

[0059] This disclosure further discloses an embodiment of a production apparatus, including the aforementioned material spacing adjustment device.

[0060] In summary, this disclosure provides a material spacing adjustment device and a production equipment. The material spacing adjustment device is disposed on a conveyor belt for conveying materials and includes at least one adjustment disc. The adjustment disc is rotatably disposed above the conveyor belt, its rotation direction conforming to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and the linear velocity of the adjustment disc's rotation is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor belt. The adjustment disc includes an interference portion for interfering with the flowing material. The interference portion interferes with the material to reduce the movement speed of the current material, thereby adjusting the spacing between the current material and the previous material. The production equipment includes the material spacing adjustment. The advantage of this arrangement is that, in this disclosure embodiment, the rotating adjustment disc can contact the conveyed material on the conveyor belt, and by having its own speed slower than the conveyor belt speed, it reduces the movement speed of the material in contact with the adjustment disc on the conveyor belt, thereby increasing the spacing between the material and the previous material.

[0061] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this disclosure should still be covered by the protection scope of this disclosure.
