Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample processing equipment, and in particular to an automatic bottle inverting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of coal collection and preparation analysis, special coal sample bottles are often required to hold the samples. Since different testing items or subsequent procedures may require different sizes or types of coal sample bottles, transferring coal samples from one bottle to another (i.e., "bottle inversion") is a common operation.
[0003] Currently, the bottle-inverting process is mainly done manually. Manual operation is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to leakage due to shaking or misalignment, resulting in sample loss. More seriously, improper operation can lead to cross-contamination (sample mixing) between different batches, directly affecting the accuracy of the test results.
[0004] To address automation issues, some bottle-inverting devices have been disclosed in existing technologies. For example, one device uses a special track support and a bottle-inverting conveyor belt. Bottle clamps on the conveyor belt hold the bottles and move them along the track. During the movement, the bottles are gradually flipped to a horizontal position. This solution is mainly used for high-temperature sterilization of canned food bottle caps on assembly lines. Its structure is a continuous conveyor type, which cannot achieve precise one-to-one transfer of samples between two bottles and lacks isolation measures to prevent sample mixing.
[0005] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for an automatic bottle-turning device that can achieve fully automatic, leak-free sample transfer between two sample bottles and effectively prevent cross-contamination, so as to meet the requirements of modern laboratories for efficient and accurate sample processing. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of this, this application provides an automatic bottle-turning device. The main purpose is to solve the technical problems of avoiding sample leakage and mixing.
[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an automatic bottle-pouring device is provided, comprising: a support frame;
[0008] A bottle mouth docking device is installed on the support frame and is used to align and position the bottle mouths of the first sample bottle and the second sample bottle.
[0009] A clamping mechanism is used to press and fix the first sample bottle and the second sample bottle at both ends of the bottle mouth docking device;
[0010] A rotating mechanism is connected to the bottle neck docking device for driving the bottle neck docking device and the first and second sample bottles fixed thereto to rotate.
[0011] Furthermore, the automatic bottle-inverting device further includes a gate mechanism, which is disposed on the bottle mouth docking device and is used to selectively connect or block the channel between the bottle mouth of the first sample bottle and the bottle mouth of the second sample bottle.
[0012] Furthermore, the gate mechanism includes a gate that can slide within the bottle neck docking device, and a gate drive cylinder for driving the gate to slide within the channel to open or close the channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the automatic bottle-inverting device also includes a vibrator connected to the clamping mechanism.
[0014] Furthermore, the vibrator is connected to a component for carrying the second sample bottle, and is used to apply vibration to the sample bottle during the inverting process.
[0015] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a sample bottle clamping cylinder, which is used to apply axial pressure to press the first sample bottle and the second sample bottle toward the bottle mouth docking device.
[0016] Furthermore, the sample bottle clamping cylinder is arranged along the central axis of the first and second sample bottles.
[0017] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating cylinder for driving the bottle neck docking device and the first and second sample bottles fixed thereto to rotate around a horizontal axis.
[0018] Furthermore, the bottle neck docking device includes an upper port for receiving the first sample bottle and a lower port for receiving the second sample bottle, with an internal hollow channel between the upper port and the lower port.
[0019] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the hollow channel inside the bottle neck docking device. The guide groove extends along the axial direction of the channel and its shape matches the edge shape of the gate. The gate moves along the guide groove during the sliding process.
[0020] Beneficial effects
[0021] This utility model provides an automatic bottle-turning device. Through the automated coordinated operation of a series of mechanisms including clamping, rotation, and vibration, this device completely replaces manual bottle-turning operations, significantly improving sample transfer efficiency. Furthermore, by incorporating a bottle-mouth docking device, the mouths of two sample bottles are precisely aligned and sealed, maintaining a tight fit under the pressure of the clamping mechanism, effectively preventing sample leakage due to gaps during turning and vibration. This application also includes a gate mechanism. After the bottle-turning operation is completed but before the bottles are separated, the gate can be used to block the channel before removing the sample bottles, thus completely avoiding cross-contamination caused by residual dust and ensuring sample independence and the accuracy of test results. Finally, by incorporating a vibrator to perform high-frequency vibration on the bottle body after turning, it ensures that any coal sample adhering to the inner wall of the original bottle is completely shaken off, achieving full sample transfer.

[0033] Example
[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides an automatic bottle-pouring device, which mainly consists of a support frame 1 as the installation base and multiple functional components arranged on the support frame 1.
[0036] The core of the functional component includes a bottle mouth docking device 9, which is installed on the support frame 1 and is used to align and position the bottle mouths of the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5.
[0037] The bottle neck docking device 9 includes an upper port for receiving the first sample bottle 4 and a lower port for receiving the second sample bottle 5, with an internal hollow channel between the upper and lower ports. Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the hollow channel inside the bottle neck docking device 9 are respectively formed as upper and lower ports for receiving the bottle necks. Specifically, a first sample bottle 4 containing a coal sample to be transferred is placed upside down, with its neck docked with the upper port of the bottle neck docking device 9; an empty second sample bottle 5 is placed upright, with its neck docked with the lower port of the bottle neck docking device 9. The function of the bottle neck docking device 9 is to ensure precise alignment of the necks of the two sample bottles, providing a reference for subsequent sealing and transfer.
[0038] In this embodiment, the automatic bottle-inverting device is further provided with a clamping mechanism for pressing and fixing the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5 at both ends of the bottle neck docking device 9. The clamping mechanism includes a sample bottle clamping cylinder 3, which is arranged along the central axis of the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5. Specifically, the piston rod end of the sample bottle clamping cylinder 3 is connected to a pressure plate (not shown). When activated, the sample bottle clamping cylinder 3 drives the pressure plate to move downward, pressing the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5 toward the central bottle neck docking device 9, thereby tightly fitting the two bottle necks with the ports of the docking device to form a seal and prevent sample leakage.
[0039] In this embodiment, the automatic bottle-inverting device further includes a rotating mechanism, which includes a rotating cylinder 2 for driving the bottle neck docking device 9 and the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5 fixed thereto to rotate around a horizontal axis. The rotating mechanism is mounted on the support frame 1, and its output end is connected to the bottle neck docking device 9 for driving the bottle neck docking device 9 and the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5 fixed thereto to rotate. When the rotating cylinder 2 is activated, it can drive the movable component to rotate 180 degrees as a whole.
[0040] In one feasible embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the hollow channel inside the bottle neck docking device 9. The guide groove extends along the axial direction of the channel and its shape matches the edge shape of the gate 7. The gate 7 moves along the guide groove during sliding.
[0041] In one feasible implementation, to prevent cross-contamination of the samples in the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5, the automatic bottle-turning device further includes a gate mechanism, which is disposed on the bottle mouth docking device 9 and is used to selectively connect or block the channel between the bottle mouth of the first sample bottle 4 and the bottle mouth of the second sample bottle 5.
[0042] In this embodiment, the gate mechanism includes a gate 7 that can slide within the bottle neck docking device 9, and a gate drive cylinder 6 for driving the gate 7 to slide. Specifically, the gate 7 is a plate capable of blocking the internal channel of the bottle neck docking device 9, and is installed in a groove on the side of the bottle neck docking device 9. The piston rod of the gate drive cylinder 6 is connected to the gate 7 and is used to drive the gate 7 to horizontally insert or withdraw within the groove, thereby opening or closing the internal channel.
[0043] In one feasible implementation, to ensure that the coal sample in the first sample bottle 4 can be completely poured out, the automatic bottle-pouring device further includes a vibrator 8, which is connected to a component for supporting the second sample bottle 5, and is used to apply vibration to the sample bottle during the pouring process. The vibrator 8 is connected to the clamping mechanism. During and after the pouring process, the vibrator 8 is activated to apply high-frequency vibration to the entire device.
[0044] In one feasible implementation, the sample bottle clamping cylinder 3 is arranged along the central axis of the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5.
[0045] In one feasible implementation, the workflow of this utility model is as follows: 1. Manually or with a robotic arm, the first sample bottle 4, containing the coal sample and with its cap already opened, is placed upside down into the upper port of the bottle mouth docking device 9, and an empty second sample bottle 5 is placed upright into the lower port. 2. The device is activated, and the sample bottle clamping cylinder 3 actuates, pressing and fixing the first sample bottle 4 and the second sample bottle 5 together. 3. The gate drive cylinder 6 drives the gate 7 to move out, opening the internal channel. 4. The rotating cylinder 2 actuates, driving the entire assembly to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the first sample bottle 4 is below, and the second sample bottle 5 is above. The coal sample falls from the first sample bottle 4 into the second sample bottle 5 under the action of gravity. 5. To ensure thorough transfer, the rotating cylinder 2 can drive the assembly to rotate repeatedly an odd number of times, preferably 3-5 times, and simultaneously activate the vibrator 8 to vibrate the bottle body, causing all the attached coal sample to fall off. 6. After the bottle inversion is completed, the gate drive cylinder 6 drives the gate 7 to insert, sealing the internal channel and preventing residual dust from falling and causing contamination. Finally, release the sample bottle clamping cylinder 3, and the two sample bottles that have completed the sample transfer can be removed manually or by a robotic arm.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced.
