Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production, and in particular to a bottle rotating device that is easy to position. Background Technology

[0002] In modern beverage production and packaging lines, the shapes and designs of beverage bottles are becoming increasingly diverse. Many beverage bottles are not traditional regular shapes, but have multiple irregular surfaces. If the posture of these irregularly shaped beverage bottles cannot be effectively controlled during transportation, it will bring many problems to subsequent processes such as inspection and labeling.

[0003] In related technologies, a servo positioning bottle-rotating system includes a conveying mechanism, an observation mechanism, and a bottle-rotating mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor frame, conveyor rollers rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame, and conveyor chain plates mounted on the conveyor rollers. The conveyor rollers are driven by a motor. The observation mechanism includes an observation frame fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, a posture imaging camera fixedly connected to the observation frame, and a control center mounted on the conveyor frame. When the beverage bottle is conveyed to the area below the posture imaging camera, the posture imaging camera captures the placement posture of the beverage bottle and transmits the image to the control center. The bottle-rotating mechanism includes a differential mounting frame fixedly connected to the conveyor frame and two differential motors mounted on the differential mounting frame. The two differential motors are located on opposite sides of the beverage bottle, and differential belts are mounted on the output shafts of both differential motors. The differential belts contact the bottle cap. When the beverage bottle moves between the two differential belts, the control center sends a signal to the differential motors, which start and rotate the bottle cap, thus adjusting the posture of the beverage bottle.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, during the process of a beverage bottle moving between two differential belts, its position on the conveyor chain is difficult to be completely consistent. This can cause the beverage bottle to tilt when it comes into contact with the differential belt. When the differential belt drives the beverage bottle to rotate, this tilting is further aggravated, causing the beverage bottle to tip over, thus affecting the beverage bottle's posture adjustment efficiency. Utility Model Content

Each positioning mechanism includes a positioning top plate, on which two positioning clamps are slidably installed. The two positioning clamps are arranged opposite each other and can both contact the bottle cap of the beverage bottle. The positioning mechanism also includes a driving component for driving the two positioning clamps to move closer and further apart.

[0007] Preferably, the driving component includes a drive motor fixedly connected to the positioning top plate and a bidirectional screw rotatably mounted on the positioning top plate.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model will be described in further detail.

[0020] This utility model discloses a bottle-rotating device that is easy to position. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The convenient bottle-turning device includes a feeding mechanism 1, a posture-capturing camera 14, a differential motor 15, a control center, a conveying mechanism 2, and multiple positioning mechanisms 3. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding frame 11, on which multiple feeding rollers 12 are rotatably mounted. Feeding chain plates 13 are mounted on the multiple feeding rollers 12. The feeding rollers 12 are driven by a motor, and beverage bottles are placed on the feeding chain plates 13 for conveying. The posture-capturing camera 14 and the differential motor 15 are both connected to the feeding frame 11 via mounting brackets. The conveying mechanism 2 is located above the feeding mechanism 1. Multiple positioning mechanisms 3 are evenly and equidistantly mounted on the conveying mechanism 2. Each positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning top plate. 31. Two positioning clamps 32 are slidably mounted on the positioning top plate 31. The two positioning clamps 32 are arranged opposite each other and can both contact the bottle cap of the beverage bottle. The positioning mechanism 3 also includes a driving component for driving the two positioning clamps 32 to move closer and further apart. During the process of the feeding mechanism 1 conveying the beverage bottle, when the beverage bottle moves to the bottom of the positioning top plate 31, the driving component is activated. The driving component drives the two positioning clamps 32 to move closer and closer to each other. The two positioning clamps 32 limit the bottle cap of the beverage bottle from both sides, so that the beverage bottle can be aligned with the middle position between the two differential belts, thereby solving the problem of affecting the posture adjustment efficiency of the beverage bottle.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving component includes a drive motor 33 fixedly connected to the positioning top plate 31 and a bidirectional screw 34 rotatably mounted on the positioning top plate 31. The output shaft of the drive motor 33 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 34, and the two ends of the bidirectional screw 34 are threadedly connected to the positioning clamping plate 32 respectively. When the drive motor 33 is started, the drive motor 33 drives the bidirectional screw 34 to rotate, and the bidirectional screw 34 drives the two positioning clamping plates 32 to move closer to each other.

[0022] Both positioning clamps 32 have arc-shaped grooves on their opposite side walls, which can contact the bottle cap of the beverage bottle.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying frame 21 fixedly connected to the feeding mechanism 1. Multiple conveying rollers 22 are rotatably mounted on the conveying frame 21. A conveying motor 23 is fixedly connected to the conveying frame 21. The output shaft of the conveying motor 23 is fixedly connected to the conveying rollers 22. Conveying chain plates 24 are provided on the multiple conveying rollers 22. A positioning top plate 31 is connected to the conveying chain plate 24. When the conveying motor 23 is started, the conveying motor 23 drives the conveying rollers 22 to rotate. The conveying rollers 22 drive the conveying chain plate 24 to move. The conveying chain plate 24 drives the positioning top plate 31 to align with the beverage bottle.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The bottom of the positioning top plate 31 can contact the top of the beverage bottle cap. A lifting component is installed between the conveyor chain plate 24 and the positioning top plate 31. A fixing component for limiting the bottle cap of the beverage bottle is installed on the positioning top plate 31. When the lifting component is activated, the lifting component drives the positioning top plate 31 to move downward. The positioning top plate 31 limits the beverage bottle from the top, preventing it from tilting when the positioning clamp 32 pushes the beverage bottle to move.

[0025] The lifting component includes a lifting cylinder 25 fixedly connected to the conveyor chain plate 24, and the extended end of the lifting cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the positioning top plate 31; when the lifting cylinder 25 is started, the lifting cylinder 25 drives the positioning top plate 31 to move.

[0026] The positioning top plate 31 has an installation groove. The fixing component includes a fixing block 35 that is slidably installed in the installation groove. A fixing spring 36 is fixedly connected between the fixing block 35 and the inner wall of the installation groove. A suction cup 37 that contacts the bottle cap of the beverage bottle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 35. As the positioning top plate 31 moves downward, the positioning top plate 31 drives the suction cup 37 to contact the bottle cap of the beverage bottle, further limiting the beverage bottle and preventing the beverage bottle from tilting when it moves.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 The positioning top plate 31 has multiple spherical grooves, and each of the multiple spherical grooves contains a ball bearing 311 that contacts the bottle cap of the beverage bottle. The ball bearing 311 can guide the beverage bottle.

[0028] The implementation principle of the bottle rotating device for easy positioning according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: During the process of conveying the beverage bottle by the feeding chain plate 13, when the beverage bottle moves to below the positioning top plate 31, the lifting cylinder 25 is activated. The lifting cylinder 25 drives the positioning top plate 31 to move downward. The positioning top plate 31 drives the suction cup 37 to move downward and contact the bottle cap of the beverage bottle. The suction cup 37 suctions the bottle cap of the beverage bottle and limits the beverage bottle from above. Then, the drive motor 33 is activated. The drive motor 33 drives the bidirectional screw 34 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 34 drives the two positioning clamps 32 to move closer to each other. The two positioning clamps 32 limit the bottle cap of the beverage bottle from both sides, so that the beverage bottle can be aligned with the middle position between the two differential belts, thereby solving the problem of affecting the posture adjustment efficiency of the beverage bottle.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
