Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cosmetic manufacturing technology, and in particular to a material spacing adjustment device and production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cosmetics refer to chemical industrial products or fine chemical products that are applied to any part of the human body surface, such as skin, hair, nails, lips, and teeth, by means of smearing, spraying, or other similar methods, to achieve the purpose of cleaning, maintaining, beautifying, modifying and altering appearance, or correcting body odor and maintaining a good condition.

[0003] In cosmetic production, multiple materials (such as bottles and cans) are placed sequentially on a conveyor belt. However, in actual production, these materials are often arranged haphazardly on the conveyor belt, which can negatively impact subsequent filling and packaging processes. Overcrowding can cause filling or packaging equipment to miss processing certain materials, and uneven spacing between materials can also hinder the smooth operation of subsequent filling and packaging steps. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a material spacing adjustment device and production equipment to solve the problems in the related technology.

[0005] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a material spacing adjustment device, comprising:

[0006] An interference mechanism is formed on opposite sides of a preset position in the conveyor belt to interfere with the material passing through the preset position, so as to decelerate or stop the material.

[0007] In this process, the material can be detached from the interference mechanism by the impact of the following material to continue moving, and the following material replaces the preceding material in being interfered with to slow down or stop, thus creating a change in the distance between the preceding and following materials.

[0008] In a first aspect embodiment, the interference mechanism includes a first interference member and a second interference member disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0009] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the spacing between the first interference member and the second interference member allows only a single piece of material to pass through.

[0010] In an embodiment of the first aspect, the spacing between the first interference member and the second interference member is adjustable to interfere with materials of different sizes.

[0011] In a first aspect embodiment, one of the first interference member and the second interference member is fixedly disposed, while the other may be disposed close to or away from the conveyor belt.

[0012] In the first aspect of the embodiment, both the first interference member and the second interference member can be disposed close to or far from the conveyor belt.

[0013] In an embodiment of the first aspect, both the first interference member and the second interference member are circular; the first interference member includes a first interference portion formed on its outer edge surface; and the second interference member includes a second interference portion formed on its outer edge surface.

[0014] In the first aspect of the embodiment, both the first interference portion and the second interference portion are provided with at least one contact pad for contacting the material.

[0015] In an embodiment of the first aspect, a guiding mechanism is further included, disposed on the conveyor belt and located in front of the interference mechanism, to guide the material to the preset position.

[0016] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a production apparatus, including the aforementioned material spacing adjustment device.

[0017] As described above, this disclosure relates to the field of daily necessities production technology. This disclosure provides a material spacing adjustment device and production equipment. The material spacing adjustment device is disposed on a conveyor belt for conveying materials. The material spacing adjustment device includes an interference mechanism. The interference mechanism forms interference on opposite sides of a preset position on the conveyor belt, thereby decelerating or stopping the material. The material can be dislodged from the interference mechanism by the impact of a subsequent material to continue moving, and the subsequent material replaces the preceding material in being interfered with to decelerate or stop, resulting in a change in the spacing between the preceding and following materials. The production equipment includes the material spacing adjustment device. The advantage of the above arrangement is that the interference mechanism in this disclosure can interfere with the conveyed material on the conveyor belt to reduce the movement speed of the material interfered with on the conveyor belt, or to stop the material, thereby creating a gap between the interfered material and the preceding material, achieving the purpose of adjusting the spacing.

[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the information disclosed herein. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this disclosure can be modified or changed according to different viewpoints and application modules without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0031] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains can readily implement it. This disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0032] In this disclosure, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic represented in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics represented may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or a group of embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples represented in this disclosure, as well as the features of those different embodiments or examples.

[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the representation of this disclosure, "a set" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] For the purpose of clarity, devices unrelated to the description are omitted, and the same or similar components throughout the specification are given the same reference numerals.

[0035] Throughout this specification, when it is said that a device is "connected" to another device, this includes not only "direct connection" but also "indirect connection" by placing other components in between. Furthermore, when it is said that a device "comprises" a certain constituent element, unless otherwise stated otherwise, this does not exclude other constituent elements, but rather implies that other constituent elements may be included.

[0036] While the terms first, second, etc., are used in some examples herein to refer to various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. For example, first interface and second interface, etc., are used. Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to also include the plural forms unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” indicate the presence of the stated feature, step, operation, element, module, item, kind, and / or group, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, modules, items, kinds, and / or groups. The terms “or” and “and / or” as used herein are interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination thereof. Thus, “A, B, or C” or “A, B, and / or C” means “any one of: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B, and C.” Exceptions to this definition will only occur if the combination of elements, functions, steps, or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

[0037] The technical terms used herein are for reference only to specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. The singular form used herein includes the plural form unless the statement explicitly indicates otherwise. The word "comprising" as used in this specification means to specify a particular characteristic, region, integer, step, operation, element, and / or component, and does not exclude the presence or addition of other characteristics, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components.

[0038] Although not explicitly defined, all terms, including technical and scientific terms used herein, shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries shall be further interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the relevant technical literature and the message of the present disclosure, and shall not be over-interpreted as having an ideal or overly formulaic meaning unless otherwise defined.

[0039] Cosmetics refer to chemical industrial products or fine chemical products that are applied to any part of the human body surface, such as skin, hair, nails, lips, and teeth, by means of smearing, spraying, or other similar methods, to achieve the purpose of cleaning, maintaining, beautifying, modifying and altering appearance, or correcting body odor and maintaining a good condition.

[0040] In cosmetic production, multiple materials (such as bottles and cans) are placed sequentially on a conveyor belt. However, in actual production, these materials are often arranged haphazardly on the conveyor belt, which can negatively impact subsequent filling and packaging processes. Overcrowding can cause filling or packaging equipment to miss processing certain materials, and uneven spacing between materials can also hinder the smooth operation of subsequent filling and packaging steps.

[0041] Based on the above problems, the interference mechanism in this embodiment can interfere with the material being conveyed on the conveyor belt to reduce the movement speed of the material being interfered with on the conveyor belt, or to stop the material, thereby creating a gap between the interfered material and the previous material, and achieving the purpose of adjusting the gap.

[0042] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the spacing adjustment device in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1In the example, the dashed line represents the material being conveyed. The material spacing adjustment device is installed on the conveyor belt 10 for conveying the material. The material spacing adjustment device includes an interference mechanism 20. The interference mechanism 20 forms interference on opposite sides of a preset position in the conveyor belt 10, thereby decelerating or stopping the material. The material can be dislodged from the interference mechanism 20 by the impact of a subsequent material to continue moving, and the subsequent material replaces the preceding material in being interfered with to decelerate or stop, resulting in a change in the spacing between the preceding and following materials. The production equipment includes the material spacing adjustment device.

[0043] The advantage of the above-mentioned setting is that the interference mechanism 20 in this embodiment can interfere with the material being conveyed on the conveyor belt 10 to reduce the movement speed of the material being interfered with on the conveyor belt 10, or to make the material stop, thereby creating a gap between the interfered material and the previous material, and achieving the purpose of adjusting the gap.

[0044] exist Figure 1 In the example, the interference mechanism 20 includes a first interference member 21 and a second interference member 22 symmetrically disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 10. It is understood that the interference is implemented as the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 clamping the material entering between them. That is, the clamping of the material by the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 can reduce the movement speed of the material on the conveyor belt 10, so that the interfered material is in a decelerated or stopped state.

[0045] For example, the distance between the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 is adjustable. Further for example, one of the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame on which the conveyor belt 10 is located, while the other can be positioned close to or away from the conveyor belt 10. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the spacing adjustment device from another perspective in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 In the example, the material spacing adjustment device further includes a drive mechanism 30, which includes a first drive member 31. The first interference member 21 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame where the conveyor belt 10 is located. One end of the first drive member 31 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the other end is drivenly connected to the second interference member 22, so that the second interference member 22 moves closer to or further away from the conveyor belt 10.

[0046] For example, the first drive member 31 is implemented as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or electric cylinder. In other embodiments, the connection methods of the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 are interchangeable and not limited thereto.

[0047] Figure 3The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the interference mechanism 20 in this disclosure. Figure 3 In the example, the material spacing adjustment device further includes a driving mechanism 30, which includes a second driving member 32 and a third driving member 33. One end of the second driving member 32 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the other end is driven to the second interference member 22, causing the second interference member 22 to move closer to or further away from the conveyor belt 10. One end of the third driving member 33 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the other end is driven to the first interference member 21, causing the first interference member 21 to move closer to or further away from the conveyor belt 10. This achieves the desired spacing between the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22.

[0048] For example, the second drive member 32 and the third drive member 33 are implemented as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders or electric cylinders.

[0049] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the first interference element 21 in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 and 4 In the example, both the first interference element 21 and the second interference element 22 are implemented as disks. Exemplarily, the first interference element 21 includes a first interference portion 211 formed on its outer edge surface; the second interference element 22 includes a second interference portion 221 formed on its outer edge surface.

[0050] As a further example, the first interference portion 211 is provided with at least one contact-enhancing pad 23. The contact-enhancing pad 23 can both protect the interfered material and increase the friction between the first interference portion 211 and the material, thereby enhancing the effect of the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 in reducing the material's movement speed. Exemplarily, the contact-enhancing pad 23 is made of silicone or rubber.

[0051] exist Figure 4 In this example, two enhancement pads 23 are implemented. The two enhancement pads 23 are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the first interference member 21 at the top and bottom of the first interference member 21. Those skilled in the art will understand that this reduces the amount of enhancement pads 23 used when the first interference member 21 is thick, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0052] For example, the thickness of the first interference member 21 varies with the thickness of the material being interfered with, so as to be applicable to materials of different heights and improve the applicability of the material spacing adjustment device.

[0053] It is understandable that the cross-sectional view of the second interference member 22 is similar to... Figure 4 The same applies as shown, so it will not be repeated here.

[0054] For example, the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 may have the same or different shapes.

[0055] Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the interference mechanism 20 in this disclosure. Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic diagram from another perspective of another embodiment of the interference mechanism 20 in this disclosure. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the example, the first interference element 21 is implemented as a disk shape, and the second interference element 22 is implemented as a block shape.

[0056] Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the interference mechanism 20 in this disclosure. Figure 7 In the example, both the first interference element 21 and the second interference element 22 are implemented as blocks.

[0057] Understandable Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The adjustable spacing between the first interference element 21 and the second interference element 22 in the example can be implemented as follows: Figure 2 or Figure 3 The same implementation method is used, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In other embodiments, the first interference element 21 and the second interference element 22 may also be implemented in other shapes, such as polygons or curves.

[0059] exist Figure 1 and Figure 7 In the example, the material spacing adjustment device further includes a guide mechanism 40 disposed on the conveyor belt 10 and located in front of the interference mechanism 20, so as to guide the material to the preset position.

[0060] For example, the guiding mechanism 40 includes two guide members 41. The first interference member 21 is connected to one of the guide members 41 near the end of the material to be interfered with, and the second interference member 22 is connected to one of the guide members 41 near the end of the material to be interfered with.

[0061] As a further example, the spacing between the two guides 41 gradually decreases with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 10.

[0062] exist Figure 1 In the example, the guiding mechanism 40 can also be omitted. Instead, the material is guided to move between the first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22 by the arcuate edges of the circular first interference member 21 and the second interference member 22.

[0063] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a production apparatus, including the aforementioned material spacing adjustment device.

This disclosure provides a material spacing adjustment device and production equipment. The material spacing adjustment device is disposed on a conveyor belt for conveying materials. The material spacing adjustment device includes an interference mechanism. The interference mechanism forms interference on opposite sides of a preset position on the conveyor belt, thereby decelerating or stopping the material. The material can be dislodged from the interference mechanism by the impact of a subsequent material to continue moving, and the subsequent material replaces the preceding material in being interfered with to decelerate or stop, resulting in a change in the spacing between the preceding and following materials.
