Bottle unscrambler

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of glass production and discloses a bottle support for a bottle-making machine. It includes a support body installed on the side of the bottle-placement plate away from the bottle-dispensing device. The support body is a tube with a square cross-section and closed at both ends. At least one row of air holes is provided on the side wall facing the bottle-dispensing device. One end of the tube is bent towards the bottle-dispensing device to form an arc-shaped portion extending above the conveyor belt. The extension length is sufficient for the end but does not interfere with the conveying of glass bottles on the conveyor belt. By setting one end of the support body as an arc-shaped portion concentric with the rotation axis of the bottle-dispensing device, and extending its arc-shaped plate above the conveyor belt, this utility model can blow high-pressure air onto the glass bottle at the junction of the bottle-placement plate and the conveyor belt, causing it to adhere tightly to the inner side of the bottle-dispensing claw of the bottle-dispensing device, effectively reducing the probability of the glass bottle tipping over.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production, and in particular to a bottle support device for a bottle making machine. Background Technology

[0002] A bottle-making machine is a core industrial piece of equipment that manufactures glass bottles and jars using mold forming technology. After the glass bottles and jars are formed in the bottle-making machine, they are transferred by clamps to a bottle-placement plate 1, and then moved 90° by a bottle-shifting device 2 (cylinder + bottle-shifting claw) onto a conveyor belt 4, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 6 As shown, the bottle-laying plate 1 is a perforated plate with high-pressure air blowing upwards from below. This air can be used to cool the glass bottles and jars and also facilitates the bottle-pushing device to push the glass bottles and jars onto the conveyor belt. A bottle-holding device 3 is installed on the side of the bottle-laying plate 1 away from the bottle-pushing device. The bottle-holding device is a hollow strip (composed of a vertical part and an inclined part). A row of blow holes 3.1 is provided on the side wall facing the glass bottles and jars. The bottle-holding device is connected to compressed air and uses airflow to blow the glass bottles and jars into the bottle-pushing claws of the bottle-pushing device to prevent the glass bottles and jars from being thrown out of the bottle-laying plate during the bottle-pushing process.

[0003] Existing bottle holders have been found to frequently cause bottle tipping at the junction of the bottle-laying plate and the conveyor belt during production, especially with lightweight glass bottles and jars. The main solution to this problem is as follows: (see attached) Figure 6 As shown, the method of using connecting copper wire 7 (one end of the copper wire is fixed to the bottle-holding plate, and the other end extends above the conveyor belt) to assist in bottle support has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. When glass bottles and jars come into contact with the connecting copper wires during the process of being fed onto the conveyor belt, they may leave marks on the bottles and jars. In addition, if there is dirt on the copper wires, it is more likely to leave stains on the bottles and jars, affecting the production quality of the products.

[0005] 2. The connecting copper wire is relatively soft and easily deformed by accident, thus failing to support the bottle. At the same time, the connecting copper wire will also rust during the production process, requiring frequent cleaning or replacement to prevent copper rust from transferring to the glass bottles and jars and contaminating the product, causing product quality defects.

[0006] Based on this, this application provides a bottle support device for a bottle-making machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention provides a bottle support device for a bottle-making machine.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0009] A bottle holder for a bottle-making machine is provided, comprising a bottle holder body installed on the side of the bottle-placement plate away from the bottle-dispensing device. The bottle holder body is a tube with a square cross-section and closed at both ends, and at least one row of air holes is provided on the side wall facing the bottle-dispensing device. One end of the tube is bent toward the bottle-dispensing device to form an arc-shaped part. The arc-shaped part extends above the conveyor belt, and the extension length is sufficient for its end but does not interfere with the conveying of glass bottles and jars on the conveyor belt.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments, the center of the arcuate portion of the bottle support body is fixedly mounted on the bottle placement plate, with the rotation axis of the bottle dispensing device collinear with it.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, a hollow auxiliary bottle support plate is also included. The auxiliary bottle support plate is arranged vertically, with multiple rows of auxiliary air blowing holes on its front side along its length, and the back side is connected to the bottle support body through a shaped hose.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the top of the bottle holder body is provided with a connector communicating with its inner cavity, and the shaping hose is detachably connected to the connector.

[0013] In some alternative implementations, the auxiliary bottle support plate is detachably connected to the shaping hose.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments, an airflow adjustment switch is provided between the shaping hose and the bottle support body or auxiliary bottle support plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model sets one end of the bottle support body as an arc-shaped part concentric with the rotation axis of the bottle-dispensing device, and its arc-shaped plate extends above the conveyor belt. It can blow high-pressure air onto the glass bottle at the junction of the bottle plate and the conveyor belt, so that the glass bottle is closely attached to the inner side of the bottle-dispensing claw of the bottle-dispensing device, which can effectively reduce the probability of the glass bottle tipping over.

[0017] 2. The auxiliary bottle-supporting plate can further utilize the high-pressure air it blows to act on the glass bottles that are already partially on the conveyor belt, so that the glass bottles are always in the bottle-pushing claws during the transition from the bottle-laying plate to the conveyor belt, until they are completely pushed onto the conveyor belt, thereby ensuring that the glass bottles are smoothly and stably transferred to the conveyor belt.

[0018] 3. This utility model can effectively solve the problem of bottle tipping, and it also eliminates the need for connecting copper wires to assist in supporting the bottle. It will not leave marks on the glass bottles or jars, and it will not allow dirt or copper rust from the connecting copper wires to transfer to the glass bottles or jars, thus ensuring the production quality of the products.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] As attached Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a bottle holder for a bottle-making machine, including a bottle holder body 3 installed on the side of the bottle-placement plate 1 away from the bottle-dispensing device 2. The bottle holder body 3 is a tube with a square cross-section and closed at both ends. At least one row of air blowing holes 3.1 (the arrows in the figure represent the airflow blown out from the air blowing holes) are provided on the side wall facing the bottle-dispensing device. The air blowing holes are pinhole-sized (0.5-2.5mm). The bottle holder body 3 is connected to compressed air. The compressed air is blown out from the air blowing holes and acts on the glass bottle 10, so that the glass bottle has a leftward force, which makes it stick to the bottle-dispensing claw of the bottle-dispensing device and prevent it from being thrown off the bottle-placement plate during the bottle dispensing process.

[0035] Because the bottle-dispensing device makes an arc-shaped reciprocating motion during the bottle-dispensing process, in this embodiment, one end of the tube 3 is bent towards the bottle-dispensing device 2 to form an arc-shaped portion 3A. Preferably, the arc-shaped portion 3A extends above the conveyor belt 4, with an extension length sufficient for its end but not interfering with the conveying of glass bottles on the conveyor belt. With this design, when the bottle-dispensing device dispenses the glass bottle to the point where it will connect with the conveyor belt, as shown in the attached... Figure 2As shown, the curved section continues to blow air into the glass bottles, ensuring they maintain a firm grip on the bottle-dispensing device and smoothly pass through the junction of the bottle-placement plate and the conveyor belt, remaining stable on the conveyor belt. This design effectively reduces the likelihood of glass bottles tipping over.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the center of the arc-shaped portion 3A of the bottle support body 3 is collinear with the rotation axis of the bottle-dispensing device 2 and fixedly mounted on the bottle-placement plate 1. This design allows the arc-shaped plate to provide stable air pressure during the bottle-dispensing process, enabling glass bottles to pass more smoothly at the junction of the bottle-placement plate and the conveyor belt.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on Example 1, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also includes a hollow auxiliary bottle support plate 5. The auxiliary bottle support plate 5 is vertically oriented, with multiple rows of auxiliary air holes 5.1 along its length on its front side (the arrows in the figure represent airflow from the auxiliary air holes). Its back side is connected to the bottle support body 3 via a shaping hose 6. The specific connection between the bottle support body and the shaping hose is as follows: the top of the bottle support body 3 has a connector that communicates with its inner cavity, and the shaping hose 6 is detachably connected to the connector. To facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the auxiliary bottle support plate, the auxiliary bottle support plate 5 and the shaping hose 6 are detachably connected.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, an airflow adjustment switch (not shown in the figure) is provided between the shaping hose and the bottle support body or the auxiliary bottle support plate, which can adjust the air pressure blown out from the auxiliary bottle support plate. The air pressure can be adjusted according to the position of the auxiliary bottle support plate.

[0040] First, in this embodiment, the auxiliary bottle support plate is connected to the bottle support body using a shaped flexible tube such as a gooseneck tube or a bamboo tube, which allows for arbitrary adjustment of the direction and position of the auxiliary bottle support plate. Second, the auxiliary bottle support plate is connected to the bottle support body and can also blow out high-pressure air to act on the glass bottles and jars to ensure that the glass bottles and jars can be stably pushed onto the conveyor belt.

[0041] In specific implementation, see attached Figure 4 As shown, when the glass bottle is partially on the conveyor belt, the auxiliary bottle-holding plate can still provide high-pressure air to act on the glass bottle (the position of action can be adjusted arbitrarily to ensure that it can be stably placed in the bottle-holding claw), so that the glass bottle remains in the bottle-holding claw during the transition from the bottle-holding plate to the conveyor belt, until it is completely placed on the conveyor belt, thereby ensuring that the glass bottle is smoothly and stably transferred to the conveyor belt.

[0042] It is worth noting that the compressed air is supplied by a compressor, and the air pressure is adjustable. The specific adjustment is based on the weight of the bottles and the actual production situation, ensuring that the bottles and cans can be stably pushed onto the conveyor belt.

[0043] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
