Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical machinery, and in particular to a buffer-type bottle separator. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of pharmaceutical and food packaging machinery, filling and capping are crucial processes in the production of bottled products such as oral liquid bottles and vials. Most current filling and capping machines are single-row machines. To increase production capacity, a double-row filling and capping machine (i.e., two rows of filling and capping machines arranged side-by-side) has been designed. Bottles are fed to both rows of filling and capping machines through a single bottle feeding channel, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown, a bottle separator is installed in the bottle feeding channel to separate the filled bottles in the bottle feeding channel to two rows of filling and capping machines. The existing bottle separator is a triangular component made of resin. Because its head is conical, it is easy for bottles to break at its conical head due to the large amount of bottles fed in.

[0003] Based on this, this application provides a buffer-type bottle separator that can effectively solve the problem of broken bottles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention provides a buffer-type bottle separator that can effectively solve the problem of broken bottles.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A buffer-type bottle divider is provided, which is fixedly installed in the middle of a bottle feeding channel to divide the filled bottles in the bottle feeding channel into two rows of filling and capping machines. The bottle divider consists of a flow guide grid and a flow divider grid. The flow divider grid and the flow guide grid are respectively fixedly installed in the bottle feeding channel by fasteners, and the tail of the flow divider grid is connected to the head of the flow guide grid. The two sides of the flow guide grid are provided as guide slopes. The flow divider grid includes a flow divider block, a movable block disposed in a U-shaped groove at the head end of the flow divider block, and a buffer assembly disposed between the movable block and the flow divider block. The buffer assembly is used to buffer the extrusion force on the flow divider block by detecting deformation.

[0007] In some alternative embodiments, the buffer assembly includes a guide rod and a spring, the guide rod extending from the tail of the diverter block into the U-shaped groove and being screwed to the movable block, and the spring being disposed on the guide rod between the movable block and the diverter block.

[0008] In some optional embodiments, the diverter block is provided with a stepped hole, one end of the guide rod passes through the stepped hole and is connected to the movable block, and the other end is provided with a limiting boss, the thickness of which is less than the countersunk depth of the stepped hole.

[0009] In some alternative implementations, the buffer assembly has two sets arranged side by side.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments, the head of the movable block is also fixedly mounted with multiple rollers via pins.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the head of the diverter block is provided with a convex arc surface and a concave arc surface on both sides from the head to the tail.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the diversion barrier further includes arc-shaped springs disposed on both sides of the tail end of the diversion block, with the two arc-shaped springs extending to the sides of the diversion barrier respectively.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, one end of the arc-shaped spring is fixed to the side of the diverter block, and the other end is cut along its length to form an upper spring and a lower spring. The tail end of the lower spring abuts against the side of the flow guide grille, and the upper spring is disposed opposite to the outer side of the lower spring.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments, the two sides of the flow guide barrier are provided as inwardly concave arc-shaped surfaces.

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

[0016] 1. This utility model can utilize the movable block and buffer assembly at the head of the diversion grid to achieve buffering at the head of the bottle dispenser, effectively solving the problem of bottle breakage caused by the compression between the filling bottle and the conical head of the bottle dispenser due to a large bottle feed volume.

[0017] 2. The convex and concave arc surfaces on the head of the diversion block, compared to a regular plane, facilitate irregular movement of the filling bottle, thereby reducing bottle jamming.

[0018] 3. The arc-shaped springs on both sides of the diversion barrier can provide buffering force on both sides of the diversion barrier, reducing the chance of bottle jamming;

[0019] 3. The tail end of the arc-shaped spring is designed with an upper spring and a lower spring structure to form a two-stage buffer structure, which improves the buffering effect.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] As attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a buffer bottle separator, which is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottle feeding channel 10, and is used to separate the filling bottles in the bottle feeding channel to two rows of filling and capping machines (not shown in the figure).

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the bottle separator consists of a flow guide grid 1 and a flow divider grid 2. The flow divider grid 2 and the flow guide grid 1 are respectively fixedly installed in the bottle feeding channel 10 by fasteners, and the tail of the flow divider grid 2 is connected to the head of the flow guide grid 1. In this embodiment, the flow divider grid and the flow guide grid are connected separately, installed independently, and then joined together after installation.

[0037] The two sides of the flow guide barrier 1 are provided with guide slopes 1.1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, this is used to guide the filling bottles to two parallel filling and capping machines.

[0038] The diversion grid 2 includes a diversion block 2.1, a movable block 2.2 disposed in a U-shaped groove at the head end of the diversion block, and a buffer assembly disposed between the movable block and the diversion block. The buffer assembly is used to buffer the extrusion force on the diversion block by detecting deformation.

[0039] This embodiment utilizes the movable block and buffer assembly at the head of the diverter to buffer the bottle dispenser head, effectively solving the problem of bottle breakage caused by the compression between the filling bottle and the conical head of the bottle dispenser due to a large bottle feed volume.

[0040] Preferred options are listed below. Figure 5 As shown, the buffer assembly in this embodiment includes a guide rod 2.3 and a spring 2.4. The guide rod 2.3 extends from the tail of the diverter block into the U-shaped groove and is screwed to the movable block 2.2. The spring 2.4 is located on the guide rod 2.3 between the movable block 2.2 and the diverter block 2.1. When the bottle flow is large, the bottle squeezes the diverter block, and the diverter block moves backward under the squeezing force, compressing the spring, thereby buffering the bottle. Preferably, the buffer assembly in this embodiment has two sets arranged side by side to ensure the stability of the movable block.

[0041] To prevent the movable block from coming out, this embodiment provides a stepped hole in the diverter block 2.1. One end of the guide rod 2.3 passes through the stepped hole and is connected to the movable block 2.2, while the other end is provided with a limiting boss. The thickness of the limiting boss is less than the depth of the countersunk hole 2.1.1 of the stepped hole. The formation of the movable block is determined by the depth of the countersunk hole of the stepped hole.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, multiple rollers 2.5 are also fixedly mounted on the head of the movable block 2.2 by means of pins. This design allows the rollers to move the movable block to one side when the filling bottle squeezes the head of the movable block, further reducing the chance of bottle breakage.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Based on Example 1, please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 In this embodiment, the head of the diverter block 2.1 is provided with a convex arc surface 2.1a and a concave arc surface 2.1b on both sides from the head to the tail. Compared with a regular plane, this design can accommodate irregular movement of the filling bottle during the bottle feeding process, which helps to reduce bottle jamming.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 ~Attached Figure 4 As shown, the diversion barrier 2 in this embodiment is also designed with arc-shaped spring pieces 2.6. The arc-shaped spring pieces 2.6 are located on both sides of the tail end of the diversion block 2.1, and the two arc-shaped spring pieces 2.6 extend to the side of the flow guide barrier 1 respectively. In this embodiment, by providing arc-shaped spring pieces on both sides of the diversion barrier, a buffering force can be provided on both sides of the flow guide barrier, reducing the probability of bottle jamming.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] This embodiment is a further improvement on Embodiment 3. Specifically, one end of the arc-shaped spring piece 2.6 is fixed to the side of the diverter block, and the other end is cut along its length to form an upper spring piece 2.6a and a lower spring piece 2.6b. The tail end of the lower spring piece 2.6b abuts against the side of the flow guide grille 1, and the upper spring piece 2.6a is positioned opposite the lower spring piece 2.6b. In this embodiment, the tail end of the arc-shaped spring piece is configured as an upper and lower spring piece structure, forming a two-stage buffer structure with better buffering effect.

[0049] Example 5

[0050] The only difference from embodiments one through four is the side structure on both sides of the flow deflector. (See attached...) Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the two sides of the flow guide grating 1 are designed as inwardly concave arc-shaped surfaces 1.1'. This design gives the two sides of the flow guide grating a buffering function, which can reduce the pressure when the bottle enters to a certain extent.

[0051] 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.
