Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bottle production equipment technology, and in particular to a glass bottle pushing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass bottle manufacturing process, after annealing in an annealing furnace, the bottles need to be conveyed from the furnace conveyor belt to the subsequent inspection conveyor belt for testing. Because the directions of the annealing furnace conveyor belt and the subsequent inspection conveyor belt are not the same, there is a transition point. Current processes typically use a transition plate at this transition point for connection. Bottles on the annealing furnace conveyor belt must push against each other to pass through the transition plate and reach the subsequent inspection conveyor belt smoothly. For glass bottles with a stable center of gravity, the pushing action allows for smooth conveying to the inspection conveyor belt. However, for glass bottles with an unstable center of gravity, the bottles may tip over during the pushing process due to instability, preventing smooth conveying. Furthermore, the accumulation of bottles can cause scratches and other defects, affecting product quality. This is unacceptable for high-end glass bottles with high quality requirements. Therefore, a suitable connecting conveyor device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a glass bottle pushing device that can deliver smoothly and reliably and has a simple structure.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A glass bottle pushing device includes a gantry support, a bottle pushing drive assembly, a bottle pushing bracket, a lifting drive assembly, a mounting frame, a bottle pushing plate, a bottle clamping plate, and a bottle clamping drive assembly. The bottle pushing drive assembly is mounted on the gantry support, and the bottle pushing bracket is slidably mounted on the gantry support. The bottle pushing drive assembly is connected to the bottle pushing bracket to drive the bottle pushing bracket to slide on the gantry support, moving between a bottle pushing start point and a bottle pushing end point. The lifting drive assembly is mounted on the bottle pushing bracket, and the mounting frame is driven by the lifting drive assembly. The bottle pusher and bottle clamping drive assembly are mounted on the mounting frame and move up and down. The bottle clamp is driven to connect with the bottle clamping drive assembly and is positioned opposite to the bottle pusher. The bottle clamp moves closer to or away from the bottle pusher under the drive of the bottle clamping drive assembly to clamp or release the glass bottle. The bottle clamp and bottle pusher are driven by the bottle pusher drive assembly and the lifting drive assembly to reach the starting position of the bottle pusher and position the row of glass bottles between the bottle clamp and the bottle pusher. The bottle pusher is positioned behind the glass bottle and pushes the bottle to the ending position under the drive of the bottle pusher drive assembly.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes an anti-pressure assembly, which comprises a first sliding rod, a slide seat, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the bottle clamping drive assembly, and the slide seat is fixed to the mounting plate. The slide seat has a vertical slide hole adapted to the first sliding rod. The first sliding rod passes through the slide hole and is mounted on the slide seat via a linear bearing. A first fixing ring at the top of the first sliding rod provides an upper limit to prevent it from falling off the slide seat. The first sliding rod can slide upward along the slide hole. The bottle clamping plate is fixed to the bottom end of the first sliding rod. When the bottle clamping plate presses down on the bottle, the first sliding rod, along with the bottle clamping plate, automatically moves upward along the slide hole on the slide seat, avoiding damage to the glass bottle. The installation height of the bottle clamping plate can be adjusted to accommodate bottles of different heights.

[0006] Furthermore, the anti-pressure assembly is provided in multiple sets, and the first slide rod of each set of anti-pressure assemblies is simultaneously connected to the same bottle clamping plate. Each set of anti-pressure assemblies is connected to a set of bottle clamping drive assemblies, and each set of bottle clamping drive assemblies includes at least one bottle clamping cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting frame is provided with mounting holes. The bottle pusher plate is connected to the mounting frame by passing through the mounting holes on the mounting frame via a second slide rod. The bottom end of the second slide rod is connected to the bottle pusher plate, and the top end of the second slide rod is provided with a second fixing ring. After the second slide rod passes through the mounting frame, it is upper-limited by the second fixing ring to prevent the second slide rod from slipping off the mounting frame. The second slide rod can slide upward along the mounting holes. The bottom end of the second slide rod is connected to the bottle pusher plate. When the bottle pusher plate presses down on the bottle, the second slide rod carries the bottle pusher plate upward along the mounting holes to avoid damaging the bottle. The installation height of the bottle pusher plate can be adjusted to accommodate glass bottles of different heights.

[0008] Furthermore, the gantry support is provided with a horizontal slide rail, and the bottle pusher is provided with a first slider. The bottle pusher is slidably mounted on the gantry support through the cooperation of the first slider and the horizontal slide rail. The bottle pusher drive assembly includes a bottle pusher cylinder, which is parallel to the horizontal slide rail and is drivenly connected to the bottle pusher to drive the bottle pusher to move horizontally along the horizontal slide rail and reciprocate between the bottle pusher start point and the bottle pusher end point.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottle-pushing drive assembly is provided with two sets of left and right opposite each other, and the horizontal slide rail and the first slider are provided with multiple sets, with the corresponding two sets of bottle-pushing cylinders connected to both ends of the bottle-pushing bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottle pusher bracket is provided with a vertical slide rail, and the mounting frame is provided with a second slider. The mounting frame can be raised and lowered on the bottle pusher bracket through the cooperation of the second slider and the vertical slide rail. The lifting drive assembly includes a lifting cylinder, which is connected to the mounting frame to drive the mounting frame to move up and down along the vertical slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting cylinders are arranged in several groups side by side, and the extension and retraction ends of the several groups of lifting cylinders are simultaneously connected to the mounting frame. The vertical slide rail and the second slider are each provided with two opposing groups.

[0012] Furthermore, the gantry bracket, the bottle pusher bracket, and the mounting bracket are all assembled from aluminum profiles.

[0013] Furthermore, the glass bottle pushing device for pushing the glass bottles on the annealing furnace mesh belt to the detection mesh belt also includes a PLC control system and sensors. The sensors are installed on the annealing furnace mesh belt to detect whether the glass bottles have been transferred to the correct position and the position of the glass bottles. The sensors, bottle pushing drive assembly, lifting drive assembly, and bottle clamping drive assembly are all connected to the PLC control system.

[0014] This utility model includes a bottle-pushing drive assembly, a bottle-pushing bracket, a lifting drive assembly, a mounting frame, a bottle-pushing plate, a bottle-clamping plate, and a bottle-clamping drive assembly. The bottle-pushing and clamping plates secure rows of glass bottles, while the bottle-pushing and lifting drive assemblies clamp and push the bottles, enabling smooth transport of the glass bottles, particularly those with unstable centers of gravity. This prevents bottles from tipping over during transport, reduces bottle accumulation, avoids friction between bottles, minimizes scratches, and improves product quality. The anti-pressure components and structures on the bottle-clamping and pushing plates prevent damage to the glass bottles during tipping or misalignment, ensuring operational safety. The bottle-clamping and pushing plates are mounted using sliding rods, allowing for height adjustment. The distance between the bottle-clamping and pushing plates can be adjusted by varying the spacing of the aluminum profiles, accommodating bottles of different heights and widths. The overall structure is simple, with the drive component using a cylinder and the structural supports assembled from aluminum profiles, resulting in low cost and ease of implementation and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] A glass bottle pushing device, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the system includes a gantry support 1, a bottle pusher drive assembly, a bottle pusher bracket 2, a lifting drive assembly, a mounting frame 5, a bottle pusher plate 6, a bottle clamping plate 7, and a bottle clamping drive assembly. The gantry support 1, bottle pusher bracket 2, and mounting frame 5 can all be assembled from aluminum profiles, which is convenient and quick. The bottle pusher drive assembly is mounted on the gantry support 1, and the bottle pusher bracket 2 is slidably mounted on the gantry support 1. The bottle pusher drive assembly is connected to the bottle pusher bracket 2 to drive the bottle pusher bracket 2 to slide on the gantry support 1, moving between the bottle pusher start point and the bottle pusher end point. The lifting drive assembly is mounted on the bottle pusher bracket 2. The mounting frame 5 is driven by the lifting drive assembly and moves up and down under its drive. The bottle pusher plate 6 and the bottle clamping drive assembly are mounted on the mounting frame 5. The bottle clamping plate 7 is driven by the bottle clamping drive assembly, and the bottle pusher plate 7 and the bottle pusher plate 6 are positioned opposite each other. Driven by the bottle clamping drive assembly, the bottle pusher plate 7 moves closer to or further away from the bottle pusher plate 6 to clamp or release the glass bottle. Driven by the bottle pusher drive assembly and the lifting drive assembly, the bottle pusher plate 7 and the bottle pusher plate 6 move to the starting position of the bottle push, positioning the rows of glass bottles between the bottle pusher plate 7 and the bottle pusher plate 6, with the bottle pusher plate 6 positioned behind the glass bottles. Driven by the bottle pusher drive assembly, the bottle pusher plate 6 pushes the bottles to the ending position of the bottle push. The bottle pusher plate 6 and the bottle pusher plate 7 clamp the glass bottles, ensuring the stability of the bottle conveying process even with an unstable center of gravity.

[0023] Bottles delivered to the bottle-pushing starting point may be tilted rather than upright, or there may be a misalignment within a row of bottles. In such cases, the descending bottle clamp may crush the bottle. To improve the safety of the bottle-pushing operation, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2In this embodiment, an anti-pressure component is also provided. The anti-pressure component includes a first slide rod 9, a slide seat 10, and a mounting plate 11. The mounting plate 11 is connected to the bottle clamping drive component. The slide seat 10 is fixed on the mounting plate 11. The slide seat 10 is provided with a vertical slide hole that can be adapted to the first slide rod 9. After the first slide rod 9 passes through the slide hole, it is mounted on the slide seat 10 by a linear bearing. The downward movement of the first slide rod 9 is limited by a first fixing ring 17 set at the top of the first slide rod 9. The first fixing ring 17 prevents the first slide rod 9 from falling off the slide seat, but does not prevent the first slide rod 9 from moving upward. The first slide rod 9 can slide upward along the slide hole to prevent damage to the bottle. The bottle clamping plate 7 is fixed to the bottom end of the first slide rod 9. When the bottle clamping plate 7 presses against the bottle, the first sliding rod 9 drives the bottle clamping plate 7 to automatically rise along the sliding hole on the slide seat 10, avoiding damage to the glass bottle. After the bottle clamping plate 7 moves upward and avoids the bottle, it will automatically move downward back to its original position under the action of gravity. At the same time, the height of the bottle clamping plate 7 can be adjusted by the first sliding rod 9 and the first fixing ring 17 to accommodate bottles of different sizes. The diameter of the bottle at the starting point of the bottle push can be detected by a sensor, and an alarm will be triggered when the bottle is misaligned or tipped over.

[0024] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 5 is provided with mounting holes. The bottle pusher 6 is connected to the mounting frame 5 by passing through the mounting holes 18 on the mounting frame 5 via a second slide rod 16. Several second slide rods 16 are provided. The bottom end of the second slide rod 16 is connected to the bottle pusher 6, and the top of the second slide rod 16 is provided with a second fixing ring (not shown in the figure). After the second slide rod 16 passes through the mounting frame 6, it is uppered by the second fixing ring. The second fixing ring can prevent the second slide rod 16 from slipping off the mounting frame 6, but it will not prevent the first slide rod 9 from moving upward. When the bottle pusher 6 presses on the bottle, the bottle pusher 6 slides upward along the mounting holes 18 to avoid damaging the bottle. After avoiding the bottle, it can move back to its position under its own weight. The installation height of the bottle pusher 6 can also be adjusted by the second fixing ring of the second slide rod 16 to accommodate glass bottles of different heights. The mounting bracket 5 can be assembled from two aluminum profiles. The bottle pusher plate 6 and the bottle clamping plate 7 are respectively mounted on one aluminum profile. The distance between the bottle pusher plate 6 and the bottle clamping plate 7 can be initially adjusted by adjusting the distance between the two aluminum profiles to accommodate bottles of different widths.

[0025] In this embodiment, the anti-pressure components are provided in four sets. The first slide rod 9 of the four sets of anti-pressure components is simultaneously connected to the same bottle-clamping plate 7. Each set of anti-pressure components is connected to a set of bottle-clamping drive components. Each set of bottle-clamping drive components includes at least one bottle-clamping cylinder 8. In this embodiment, each set of bottle-clamping drive components includes two sets of bottle-clamping cylinders 8.

[0026] In one embodiment, the bottle-pushing drive assembly includes a bottle-pushing cylinder 3. A horizontal slide rail 12 is provided on the gantry bracket 1, and a first slider 13 is provided on the bottle-pushing bracket 2. The bottle-pushing bracket 2 is slidably mounted on the gantry bracket 1 through the cooperation of the first slider 13 and the horizontal slide rail 12. The bottle-pushing cylinder 3 is parallel to the horizontal slide rail 12 and is drivenly connected to the bottle-pushing bracket 2 to drive the bottle-pushing bracket 2 to move horizontally along the horizontal slide rail 12, reciprocating between the bottle-pushing start point and the bottle-pushing end point. To ensure the smoothness of the bottle-pushing action, this embodiment provides two sets of bottle-pushing drive assemblies, with the two sets facing each other left and right. The two sets of bottle-pushing cylinders 3 are respectively connected to both ends of the bottle-pushing bracket 2. Four sets of horizontal slide rails 12 and first sliders 13 are provided, with two sets facing each other vertically on each of the left and right sides.

[0027] In one embodiment, the lifting drive assembly includes a lifting cylinder 4, and the bottle pusher bracket 2 is provided with a vertical slide rail 14, such as... Figure 5 The mounting frame 5 is equipped with a second slider 15. The mounting frame 5 can be raised and lowered on the bottle pusher bracket 2 via the cooperation of the second slider 15 and the vertical slide rail 14. The lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the mounting frame 5 to drive the mounting frame 5 to move up and down along the vertical slide rail 14. To ensure the smoothness of the lifting action, four sets of lifting cylinders 4 are arranged side by side. The extension and retraction ends of the four sets of lifting cylinders 4 are simultaneously connected to the mounting frame 5, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 The vertical slide rail 14 and the second slider 15 are each provided with two opposing sets, located at both ends of the mounting frame 5 respectively.

[0028] The glass bottle pushing device in this embodiment is used to push the glass bottles on the annealing furnace mesh belt to the detection mesh belt. The glass bottle pushing device also includes a PLC control system and sensors. The sensors are set on the annealing furnace mesh belt and are used to detect whether the glass bottles have been transported to the correct position and the position of the glass bottles. The sensors, bottle pushing drive components, lifting drive components and bottle clamping drive components are all connected to the PLC control system. The PLC controls the action of each drive component (drive cylinder).

[0029] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the glass bottles on the annealing furnace conveyor belt are conveyed, they trigger the fixed position sensor. The sensor transmits the positioning information (including position information) to the PLC control system. The PLC controls the bottle pushing cylinder 3 to drive the bottle pushing plate 6 and the bottle clamping plate 7 to come above the glass bottle. Then, the PLC controls the lifting cylinder 4 to drive the bottle pushing plate 6 to descend. The bottle pushing plate 6 lands behind the bottle. The PLC controls the bottle clamping cylinder 8 to drive the bottle clamping plate 7 to move closer to the bottle pushing plate 6 and clamp the bottle. The PLC then controls the bottle pushing bracket 2 to push the glass bottle onto the subsequent inspection conveyor belt. After it is in position, the bottle clamping cylinder 8 opens, the lifting cylinder 4 rises, and the bottle pushing cylinder 3 retracts, completing one cycle of movement. The glass bottle is then successfully conveyed onto the subsequent inspection conveyor belt.

[0030] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the present utility model should be included in the patent scope of this case.
