Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage bottle conveying technology, and more specifically, to a beverage bottle diversion conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern beverage production, beverage bottles undergo multiple processes, each with varying equipment capacities. For example, in the beverage bottle packaging area, the packaging equipment typically has a higher capacity, necessitating separate conveying routes for the bottles to effectively meet the equipment's capacity requirements.

[0003] Some existing beverage bottle conveying devices use a fixed conveying channel width to transport beverage bottles of specific sizes. This greatly limits the range of beverage bottle sizes that the device can be used for. Once the size of the beverage bottles produced changes, the device cannot be used normally. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a beverage bottle sorting and conveying device that can solve the technical problems raised in the background art.

[0005] This application provides a beverage bottle diversion conveying device, including a conveying platform and a support frame. The support frame is provided with a guide component, a transition component and a diversion component in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveying platform. The guide component and the diversion component are connected by the transition component. The guide component, the transition component and the diversion component are all located on the conveying path of the conveying platform.

[0006] The guiding assembly includes a first guide plate, a second guide plate, a first linear module, and a second linear module. Both the first linear module and the second linear module are fixedly mounted on the support frame, and the sliding movement direction of both is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying table. The upper end of the first guide plate is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the first linear module, and the upper end of the second guide plate is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the second linear module. The first guide plate and the second guide plate are arranged opposite to each other to form a guiding channel for guiding the beverage bottle. The width of the guiding channel can be adjusted by driving the corresponding sliding blocks of the first linear module and the second linear module.

[0007] Furthermore, the channeling assembly includes a third guide plate, a fourth guide plate, a third linear module, and a fourth linear module. The third and fourth linear modules are both fixed on the support frame, and the sliding movement direction of both is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying table. The upper end of the third guide plate is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the third linear module, and the upper end of the fourth guide plate is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the fourth linear module. The third and fourth guide plates are arranged opposite to each other to form a channeling channel. The width of the channeling channel can be adjusted by driving the corresponding sliding blocks of the third and fourth linear modules. The channeling channel is connected to the guide channel of the guide assembly through the transition assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the transition assembly includes a first transition plate and a second transition plate. One end of the first transition plate is hinged to the end of the first guide plate near the side of the lane divider assembly, and the other end of the first transition plate is hinged to the end of the third guide plate near the side of the guide assembly. One end of the second transition plate is hinged to the end of the second guide plate near the side of the lane divider assembly, and the other end of the second transition plate is hinged to the end of the fourth guide plate near the side of the guide assembly. The first transition plate and the second transition plate are arranged opposite to each other, and a transition channel is formed between them that communicates with both the guide channel and the lane divider channel. The first transition plate and the second transition plate are uniformly telescopic plates.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the first linear module, the second linear module, the third linear module and the fourth linear module respectively, and is used to control the movement of the sliders of each linear module.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide assembly also includes a first distance sensor, which is fixed on a first guide plate or a second guide plate. The first distance sensor is used to detect the width of the guide channel and is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0011] Furthermore, the lane separation assembly also includes a second distance sensor, which is fixed on a third or fourth guide plate. The second distance sensor is used to detect the width of the lane separation channel and is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0012] Furthermore, a counting sensor is fixedly mounted on the third or fourth guide plate, the detection end of the counting sensor points to the beverage bottle being transported in the channel, and the counting sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention uses a first linear module and a second linear module to drive the first guide plate and the second guide plate to move along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. Since the two guide plates are arranged opposite each other to form a guide channel, the driving of the linear module can adjust the width of the guide channel, realizing flexible adaptation to beverage bottles of different diameters and specifications, greatly improving the versatility of the device, and eliminating the need to frequently replace equipment due to changes in bottle shape.

[0028] like Figure 1-3As shown, this application provides a beverage bottle diversion conveying device, including a conveying platform 1 and a support frame 2. A guide assembly 3, a transition assembly 4, and a diversion assembly 5 are sequentially arranged on the support frame 2 along the conveying direction of the conveying platform 1. The guide assembly 3 and the diversion assembly 5 are connected by the transition assembly 4. The guide assembly 3, the transition assembly 4, and the diversion assembly 5 are all located on the conveying path of the conveying platform 1. The guide assembly 3 includes a first guide plate 31, a second guide plate 32, a first linear module 33, and a second linear module 34. The first linear module 33 and the second linear module 34 are both fixedly mounted on the support frame 2, and the sliding movement direction of both is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying platform 1. The upper end of the first guide plate 31 is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the first linear module 33, and the upper end of the second guide plate 32 is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the second linear module 34. The first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 are arranged opposite to each other to form a guide channel for guiding the beverage bottles. The first linear module 33 and the second linear module 34 are driven by corresponding sliding blocks... The width of the movable guide channel is adjustable. The conveyor 1 provides the power to carry and transport beverage bottles. The conveyor 1 is a belt conveyor, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The support frame 2 serves as the mounting base to carry the guide component 3, the transition component 4, and the channeling component 5. The three are distributed sequentially along the conveying direction on the conveying path to form a continuous conveying channeling path. The guide component 3 is a key sorting structure before channeling. The first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 are driven by the first linear module 33 and the second linear module 34 respectively to move along the perpendicular direction of conveying. Since the two guide plates are set opposite each other to form a guide channel, the driving of the first linear module 33 and the second linear module 34 can adjust the width of the guide channel, thereby adapting to the passage requirements of beverage bottles of different specifications. This achieves flexible adaptation to beverage bottles of different diameters and specifications, laying an orderly foundation for the subsequent work of the transition component 4 and the channeling component 5, greatly improving the versatility of the device, and eliminating the need for frequent equipment replacement due to changes in bottle type.

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, the channeling assembly 5 includes a third guide plate 51, a fourth guide plate 52, a third linear module 53, and a fourth linear module 54. Both the third linear module 53 and the fourth linear module 54 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 2, and the sliding movement direction of both is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor table 1. The upper end of the third guide plate 51 is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the third linear module 53, and the upper end of the fourth guide plate 52 is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the fourth linear module 54. The third guide plate 51 and the fourth guide plate 52 are arranged opposite to each other to form a channeling passage. The width of the channeling passage can be adjusted by driving the corresponding sliding blocks of the third linear module 53 and the fourth linear module 54. The channeling passage is connected to the guide channel of the guide assembly 3 through the transition assembly 4. 54 is fixed on the support frame 2, and its slider moves along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying table 1, driving the third guide plate 51 and the fourth guide plate 52 to move synchronously. Since the third guide plate 51 and the fourth guide plate 52 are arranged opposite each other to form a channel, the width of the channel can be adjusted by driving the slider through the third linear module 53 and the fourth linear module 54 to adapt to different sizes of beverage bottles. At the same time, the channel is connected to the guide channel of the guide component 3 through the transition component 4, so that the beverage bottles after being guided and sorted can enter the channel smoothly and achieve orderly channeled conveying. Among them, when the channel width is adjusted and channeled conveying is carried out, the sliders of the third linear module and the fourth linear module move intermittently in the same direction, which can separate the beverage bottles on the conveying table 1.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the transition component 4 includes a first transition plate 41 and a second transition plate 42. One end of the first transition plate 41 is hinged to the end of the first guide plate 31 near the side of the channel component 5, and the other end of the first transition plate 41 is hinged to the end of the third guide plate 51 near the side of the guide component 3. One end of the second transition plate 42 is hinged to the end of the second guide plate 32 near the side of the channel component 5, and the other end of the second transition plate 42 is hinged to the end of the fourth guide plate 52 near the side of the guide component 3. The first transition plate 41 and the second transition plate 42 are arranged opposite to each other, and a transition channel is formed between them that is connected to both the guide channel and the channel. The first transition plate 41 and the second transition plate 42 are uniformly expandable and contractible. When the guide component 3 or the channel component 5 adjusts the channel width through the corresponding linear module, the first transition plate 41 and the second transition plate 42 can expand and contract synchronously with the movement of the corresponding guide plate. At the same time, the angle is adaptively adjusted through the hinge structure to ensure that the transition channel always maintains smooth communication with the guide channel and the channel, so as to realize the smooth transition of the beverage bottle from the guide to the channel.

[0031] like Figure 1-3As shown, the beverage bottle separating conveying device of this application also includes a PLC controller (not shown in the figure). The PLC controller is electrically connected to the first linear module 33, the second linear module 34, the third linear module 53 and the fourth linear module 54 respectively, and is used to control the movement of the slider of each linear module. After receiving the preset control command or the external sensor signal, the PLC controller outputs the drive signal to each linear module to control the movement of the slider of each linear module, thereby driving the corresponding guide plate to move synchronously, so as to realize the automatic adjustment of the width of the guide channel and the separating channel.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide assembly 3 also includes a first distance sensor 6, which is fixed on the first guide plate 31 or the second guide plate 32. The first distance sensor 6 is used to detect the width of the guide channel. The first distance sensor 6 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. Specifically, the first distance sensor 6 is fixed on the first guide plate 31, detects the actual width of the guide channel in real time, and transmits the detection signal to the PLC controller. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller compares it with the preset target width parameter. If there is a deviation, it sends an adjustment command to the first linear module 33 and the second linear module 34, driving the corresponding slider to move the corresponding guide plate to correct the width of the guide channel.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the lane-separating assembly 5 also includes a second distance sensor 7, which is fixed on the third guide plate 51 or the fourth guide plate 52. The second distance sensor 7 is used to detect the width of the lane-separating channel and is electrically connected to the PLC controller. Specifically, the second distance sensor 7 is fixed on the third guide plate 51, detects the actual width of the lane-separating channel in real time, and transmits the detection signal to the PLC controller. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller compares it with the preset target width parameter. If there is a deviation, it sends an adjustment command to the third linear module and the fourth linear module, driving the corresponding slider to move the corresponding guide plate to correct the width of the guide channel.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a counting sensor 8 is fixed on the third guide plate 51 or the fourth guide plate 52. The detection end of the counting sensor 8 points to the beverage bottles being transported in the sorting channel, and the counting sensor 8 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. Specifically, the counting sensor 8 is set on the third guide plate 51. When a beverage bottle passes by, the counting sensor triggers a counting signal by sensing the bottle and transmits it to the PLC controller. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller performs counting and statistics, and records the number of beverage bottles passing through the sorting channel in real time, forming a dynamic monitoring of the bottle flow rate after sorting and facilitating the sorting of a fixed number of beverage bottles.

[0035] Among them, the first linear module 33, the second linear module 34, the third linear module 53 and the fourth linear module 54 can all be ball screw linear modules, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
