Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle unloading technology, specifically to a high-level bottle unloading machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the bottling process of liquid products such as beverages and daily chemicals, empty bottles serve as the core packaging carrier. To improve space utilization and reduce logistics costs during the warehousing and transportation stages, they are typically stacked in multiple layers on pallets. While this high-density stacking can significantly reduce the floor space occupied, the empty bottles on the pallets must be unstacked and transferred to the bottling production line before entering the bottling stage.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream bottle unloading methods in the industry are mainly divided into two categories: one is manual unloading, where operators need to carry empty bottles layer by layer and place them on the conveyor; the other is using traditional empty bottle unloading machines, which complete the unloading operation through robotic arms or pushing mechanisms. However, when the empty bottles are stacked at a high height, both methods reveal obvious limitations: for manual unloading, in high stacking scenarios, operators need to frequently raise their hands or use climbing tools, which not only consumes a lot of physical strength and limits the operation speed, causing the unloading efficiency to decrease linearly with the height, but also easily leads to empty bottles slipping due to unstable hand gripping or fatigue; for traditional bottle unloading machines, their mechanical structure is mostly designed for low to medium stacking heights. When the stacking height exceeds the equipment's adaptability range, problems such as gripping and positioning deviations and jamming of the layer-by-layer unloading action are prone to occur, which in turn leads to empty bottles falling and being damaged by collision.
[0004] The aforementioned problems not only directly reduce bottle unloading efficiency, but also increase raw material loss due to broken empty bottles. At the same time, frequent shutdowns disrupt the cycle balance of the filling production line, and in severe cases, even cause material shortages and shutdowns in subsequent filling processes, significantly restricting overall production efficiency and cost control.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, a high-level bottle unloading machine has a bottom conveying track 1 and a top conveying track 2, and there is a height difference between the bottom conveying track 1 and the top conveying track 2, wherein the height difference is such that empty bottles 7 used for stacking can be normally transported along the bottom conveying track 1.
[0026] A lifting platform 3 is provided at one end of the bottom conveying track 1. When the stack of empty bottles 7 is conveyed to the lifting platform 3, the stack of empty bottles 7 can be lifted to a certain distance by the lifting platform 3, so that the uppermost empty bottles 7 can be lifted to the top conveying track.
[0027] The top conveyor track 2 is provided with a discharge port 4 at a position corresponding to the lifting platform 3. A liftable pallet 6 grabbing device 5 is provided on one side of the discharge port 4. The pallet 6 disassembly device is used to remove the pallet 6 from the empty bottle 7. A pushing device 8 is also provided above the discharge port 4. The pushing device 8 is used to push the empty bottle 7 to the top conveyor track 2.
[0028] When in use, the stack of empty bottles 7 is lifted to the unloading port 4 by the lifting platform 3. The pallet 6 is removed by the grabbing and unloading device 5 and stacked together, which can be easily pushed into the warehouse for reuse. After the pallet 6 is removed, the pushing device 8 on the right pushes a layer of empty bottles 7 to the left onto the top conveying track and reaches the filling position along the top conveying track.
[0029] In one embodiment, the pallet 6 gripping and unloading device 5 includes a lifting mechanism 501. The upper end of the lifting mechanism 501 is connected to a bracket 502, and the lower end of the bracket 502 is connected to a plurality of suction cups 503. One end of the bracket 502 is connected to the plurality of suction cups 503, and the other end of the bracket 502 is connected to a motor that can drive the bracket 502 to change angle. After the suction cups 503 grip the pallet 6, the motor drives the pallet 6 to be moved away from above the empty bottle 7. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 501 can drive the pallet 6 gripping and unloading device 5 to move up and down, remove the pallet 6 and stack it for easy retrieval later.
[0030] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 501 includes a linear track and a linear motor, both of which are disposed on the surface of the column 9 so that it can be lifted and lowered along the column 9.
[0031] In one embodiment, the pushing device 8 moves along the length of the top conveying track 2. The pushing device 8 includes a top support 801. A front baffle 802 and a rear baffle 803 are provided below the top support 801. The front baffle 802 is hinged to the top support 801, and a servo motor is provided at the hinge point between the front baffle 802 and the top support 801. When the pushing device 8 moves, its front baffle 802 opens. After moving to the position of the empty bottle 7, the front baffle 802 closes, and then the pushing device 8 continues to move, pushing the empty bottle 7 onto the top conveying track.
[0032] In one embodiment, a front baffle 802, a rear baffle 803, a left baffle, and a right baffle are provided below the top support 801. The multiple baffles can limit the position of a layer of empty bottles 7, preventing the empty bottles 7 from shifting when pushed, thus affecting subsequent filling.
[0033] In one embodiment, the lifting platform 3 includes a platform body and a power structure disposed at the bottom of the platform body, and the maximum lifting height of the lifting platform 3 is not less than the height difference between the bottom conveying track 1 and the top conveying track 2, so that the lifting platform 3 can lift all the empty bottles 7 to the top conveying track.
[0034] In one embodiment, both the top and bottom conveyor tracks include conveyor belts, which are used to transport the empty bottles 7.
[0035] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
