[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a detachable bottle dropping buffer structure for an automatic bottle collecting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Bottle sorting machines are packaging equipment used to automatically sort disordered plastic or glass bottles. Through mechanical structure, they orient and transport randomly stacked bottles to the production line. Their core functions include automatic bottle sorting, bottle flipping, and bottle discharging, ensuring that the bottle mouths face upwards to accommodate subsequent processes such as filling and labeling. They significantly surpass the efficiency of manual operation. The continuous operation mode, combined with automatic shutdown when full and automatic start-stop when missing bottles, ensures that the production line operates 24 hours a day without interruption.
[0003] Existing automatic bottle collecting machines typically use centrifugal force to move bottles to the edge of the device and drop them one by one to achieve regular collection. However, during the bottle drop process, the bottom of the bottle usually comes into direct rigid contact with the collecting device, which makes the bottle vulnerable to impact and damage, thus increasing production costs. Therefore, a detachable bottle drop buffer structure is needed for an automatic bottle collecting machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a detachable bottle-dropping buffer structure for an automatic bottle-collecting machine, comprising a bottle-collecting platform, a bottle-dropping buffer structure, and a height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism is used to change the position of the adjustment plate.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a detachable bottle dropping buffer structure for an automatic bottle collecting machine, including a bottle sorting table 1, a bottle dropping buffer structure, and a height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism is used to change the position of the adjustment plate 10. The bottle dropping buffer structure includes a fixed plate 8, a mounting plate 9, an adjustment plate 10, an inclined surface A17, a buffer pad 18, a buffer block 19, an inclined surface B20, and a buffer spring 21. The fixed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bottle sorting table 1, the mounting plate 9 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed plate 8, the adjustment plate 10 is slidably connected to the surface of the mounting plate 9, the inclined surface A17 is formed on the surface of the adjustment plate 10, the buffer pad 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inclined surface A17, the buffer block 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment plate 10, the inclined surface B20 is formed on the surface of the buffer block 19, and the buffer spring 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the buffer block 19.
[0024] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes a slot 13, a block 14, a rectangular handle 15, and a return spring 16. The slot 13 is equidistantly opened on the surface of the mounting plate 9. The block 14 is slidably connected inside the adjustment plate 10. The rectangular handle 15 is fixedly connected to the block 14. The return spring 16 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the rectangular handle 15 and the adjustment plate 10. The surface of the mounting plate 9 is threaded with a bolt 11. A rotating sleeve 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the bolt 11. A top frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottle sorting table 1. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the top frame 4. A rotating blade 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5. A baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bottle sorting table 1. A bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottle sorting table 1. A housing 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 2.
[0025] Furthermore, the working principle of the detachable bottle drop buffer structure of the automatic bottle collecting machine is as follows: the motor 5 drives the rotating blade 6 to rotate and push the bottles on the bottle collecting table 1 to perform centrifugal motion and gradually push them to the baffle 7 area to complete the initial orientation. When the bottles pass through the bottle drop buffer structure, the inclined surface A17 of the adjusting plate 10 and the inclined surface B20 of the buffer block 19 form a progressive guide channel. The buffer pad 18 and the buffer spring 21 jointly absorb the falling impact force and reduce the risk of bottle collision damage through elastic deformation. When the buffer block 19 is compressed, it slides along the inner cavity of the adjusting plate 10 to compress the buffer spring 21, thereby realizing dynamic damping adjustment.
[0026] The height adjustment mechanism locks the adjustment plate 10 by engaging the locking block 14 with the slots 13 at different positions, and the elastic reset function of the reset spring 16 enables the quick positioning of the adjustment plate 10. The threaded engagement between the rotating sleeve 12 and the bolt 11 enables the installation and removal of the mounting plate 9. Through the synergistic effect of the detachable buffer assembly and the adjustable guide structure, both bottle handling efficiency and bottle protection requirements are taken into account.
[0027] Furthermore, this detachable bottle-dropping buffer structure, through the progressive guiding design of inclined planes A and B, makes the bottle's falling trajectory controllable and the impact force dispersed. The composite buffering mechanism of the buffer pad and buffer spring effectively reduces the bottle breakage rate, making it particularly suitable for bottle handling operations of highly brittle containers such as glass bottles. The height adjustment mechanism adopts a modular meshing method of locking blocks and slots, enabling quick positioning of the adjustment plate to meet different usage needs. The threaded engagement of the bolts and rotating sleeves makes the mounting plate detachable, facilitating maintenance and cleaning. The overall structure, through the synergistic effect of centrifugal orientation and buffer components, completes the orderly collection of bottles, solving the problem that during the bottle's fall, the bottom of the bottle usually comes into direct rigid contact with the collection device, causing the bottle to be easily damaged by impact and thus increasing production costs.
[0028] Structural Description: Bottle Handling Platform 1: As the basic support platform of the equipment, it provides a stable working plane for the entire bottle handling process, ensuring that the bottles move smoothly and without deviation during centrifugal motion;
[0029] Support 2: It forms the main support frame of the equipment, and maintains the relative position of the bottle unloading platform and the cabinet through rigid connection, ensuring the mechanical stability of the overall structure during operation;
[0030] Box 3: The container unit located at the bottom of the equipment, which receives the bottles falling through the buffer structure and stores them in an orderly manner, avoiding direct contact between the bottles and the ground and causing secondary collisions;
[0031] Top frame 4: A rigid support mounted above the bottle unscrambler, providing a suspension fulcrum for the drive components and ensuring that the rotating blades maintain a precise spatial relative position with the bottle unscrambler;
[0032] Motor 5: As the core power source, it outputs rotational torque and drives the rotating blades to rotate through a continuous and stable speed, providing the necessary kinetic energy for the centrifugal motion of the bottle;
[0033] Rotating blade 6: Drives the bottles on the bottle handling table to generate controllable centrifugal motion, achieving efficient dispersion and transport of bottle groups;
[0034] Baffle 7: Set at the edge of the bottle sorting table to form a physical barrier boundary, guide the bottles to arrange themselves in an orderly manner under the action of centrifugal force and complete the initial orientation, and prevent the bottles from scattering in a disorderly manner;
[0035] Fixed plate 8: As a static mounting base for the buffer structure, it provides a precise assembly reference surface for subsequent adjustable components through rigid connection with the bottle unloading platform;
[0036] Mounting plate 9: Serves as the sliding carrier of the height adjustment mechanism. It is detachably connected to the fixed plate by bolts and also bears the multi-level positioning function of the adjustment plate.
[0037] Adjustment plate 10: The main guide component that constitutes the buffer channel. Its inclined structure, together with the buffer block, forms a progressive variable diameter channel, which dynamically adjusts the trajectory and speed of the bottle falling.
[0038] Bolt 11: A threaded fastener that passes through the mounting plate and the fixed plate, which enables detachable fixing between the two plates by tightening pressure, while allowing for fine angle adjustment to adapt to different working conditions;

[0040] Slot 13: An array of positioning grooves evenly distributed on the surface of the mounting plate, which engage with the locking block to achieve multi-level height locking of the adjustment plate, ensuring the repeatability of position adjustment.
[0041] Locking block 14: An elastic locking component installed inside the adjusting plate, which forms a one-way self-locking structure with the slot under the action of the return spring, realizing the quick positioning function of the height adjustment mechanism;
[0042] Rectangular handle 15: An operating component exposed on the surface of the adjustment plate, which can be manually pulled to overcome the force of the reset spring to release the locking block and provide a human-machine interface for height adjustment;
[0043] Return spring 16: An elastic return element connecting the handle and the adjusting plate, which automatically restores the engagement state of the locking block and the slot after the external force is released, ensuring the normal self-locking of the locking mechanism;
[0044] Inclined surface A17: An inclined guide surface machined on the surface of the adjustment plate, which forms a variable cross-section channel by cooperating with the inclined surface of the buffer block to achieve soft contact guidance when the bottle falls;
[0045] Buffer pad 18: An elastic medium layer that adheres to the inclined surface, which absorbs the collision energy of the bottle through material deformation, reducing the peak instantaneous impact force generated by rigid contact;
[0046] Buffer block 19: A dynamic damping component that can be slidably installed inside the adjustment plate. Its inclined structure generates axial displacement when compressed, converting impact kinetic energy into spring potential energy.
[0047] Sloping surface B20: A complementary inclined surface set on the buffer block, which works with the inclined surface of the adjustment plate to form an adaptive channel width adjustment mechanism to respond to the passage requirements of bottles of different sizes;
