Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying mechanism technology, specifically to a flexible conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Filling machines are a small category of packaging machines. From the perspective of material packaging, they can be divided into liquid filling machines, paste filling machines, powder filling machines, and granule filling machines. From the perspective of automation, they can be divided into semi-automatic filling machines and fully automatic filling production lines. The conveyor line is one of the main components of the filling production line. It needs to transport containers containing filling media to the appropriate workstations for production according to process requirements. Therefore, there is a need for equipment that solves the problem of having only a single process path on a production line, while also making the equipment structure of the entire production line compact, saving space, and meeting the different process requirements of customers on the production line.

[0003] A prior art patent with publication number CN215558867U discloses a solution including a filling conveyor belt. The filling conveyor belt includes a support chute, and conveyor rollers and limiting belts are provided on both sides above the support chute. The conveyor rollers and limiting belts are arranged in parallel. An intermediate speed-regulating turntable is connected to the end of the filling conveyor belt. An intermediate arc-shaped baffle is provided on the outer side of the peripheral wall of the intermediate speed-regulating turntable. Bottle-limiting recesses are arranged in a ring array on the peripheral wall of the intermediate speed-regulating turntable. The end of the limiting belt extends to the top of the intermediate speed-regulating turntable. The intermediate arc-shaped baffle is tangent to the end of the conveyor roller.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing technology have gradually become apparent with use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0005] First, existing filling production lines basically only have one process route, which can only meet one process requirement. If other process requirements are to be met, the site needs to be changed.

[0006] Secondly, if the existing production line has multiple filling machines, different bottle conveying lines need to be matched for each filling machine, which not only occupies space but also increases production costs.

[0007] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
