[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a bottle-separating device for irregularly shaped bottles. The device includes a conveying assembly 1, which includes conveying wheels, specifically a first conveying wheel 11 and a second conveying wheel 12. One end of the first conveying wheel 11 is connected to the output shaft of a motor 14. A conveyor belt 13 is fitted around the outside of the conveying wheels. A support frame 15 connects the first conveying wheel 11 and the second conveying wheel 12. The motor 14 can be fixed to the support frame 15.

[0034] A guide rod 2 is connected to the support frame 15. The guide rod 2 is positioned above the conveyor belt 13, on which cosmetic bottles can be conveyed. The guide rod 2 includes two parallel first guide rods 21 and a second guide rod 22. The bottle is conveyed along the conveyor belt 13 between the guide rods 2.

[0035] The bottle separating device includes a clamping assembly 3, which includes a clamping cylinder and grippers located on both sides of the clamping cylinder. The clamping assembly 3 includes multiple clamping assemblies, such as a first clamping assembly 31, a second clamping assembly 32, and a third clamping assembly 33. One end of the clamping cylinder is fixed to the support frame 15, and the grippers are connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder. The grippers can move closer to or further away from the bottle.

[0036] The first guide rod 21 has a notch 7 at the plurality of clamping components 3. The notch 7 can be a moving channel for the gripper. The first clamping component 31 includes a first clamping cylinder 311 and a first gripper 312. The second clamping component 32 includes a second clamping cylinder 321 and a second gripper 322. The third clamping component 33 includes a third clamping cylinder 331 and a third gripper 332. The first clamping cylinder 311, the second clamping cylinder 321 and the third clamping cylinder 331 are arranged in sequence, with the first clamping cylinder 311 located at the downstream end.

[0037] A fixing rod 6 can be provided at the notch 7. The fixing rod 6 may include a first fixing rod 61 and a second fixing rod 62. The first fixing rod 61 can be fixed on the first guide rod 21, and the second fixing rod 62 can be fixed on the second guide rod 22. The gripper can be located below the fixing rod 6.

[0038] The irregular bottle separating device includes multiple sensors 4. In one embodiment, a clamping sensor is provided on the fixing rod 6. The clamping sensor includes a first clamping sensor 41, a second clamping sensor 42, and a third clamping sensor 43. The signals sensed by the first clamping sensor 41, the second clamping sensor 42, and the third clamping sensor 43 can respectively drive the first gripper 312, the second gripper 322, and the third gripper 332 to move.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second fixing rod 62 and the first fixing rod 61 are positioned correspondingly. A first clamping sensor 41 and a third clamping sensor 43 may be disposed on the first fixing rod 61, and a second clamping sensor 42 may be disposed on the second fixing rod 62. The first clamping sensor 41 serves as a detection photoelectric sensor driven by the first gripper 312, the second clamping sensor 42 serves as a detection photoelectric sensor driven by the second gripper 322, and the third clamping sensor 43 serves as a detection photoelectric sensor driven by the third gripper 332.

[0040] Furthermore, the first guide rod 21 includes a first rod segment 211 and a second rod segment 212, which are separated by the notch 7. The second guide rod 22 terminates on one side of the third clamping assembly 33. The second rod segment 212 is located near the first conveying wheel 11. A bottle tilting sensor 44 is provided at one end of the second rod segment 212 near the first rod segment 211. A positioning sensor 45 is provided below the bottle tilting sensor 44 on the support frame 15. Since the bottle tilting sensor 44 has a certain height, when it does not detect a signal, it indicates that the bottle has tilted.

[0041] The installation height of the first clamping sensor 41, the second clamping sensor 42, and the third clamping sensor 43 is higher than the installation height of the bottle-inverting sensor 44, and the installation height of the bottle-inverting sensor 44 is higher than the installation height of the positioning sensor 45. The positioning sensor 45 is used to detect whether the bottle has reached the bottle-picking station. After reaching the bottle-picking station, the transfer equipment of the next process can pick it up.

[0042] The bottle-separating device also includes a blocking component 5, which is located downstream of the bottle-inverting sensor 44 or the positioning sensor 45. The blocking component 5 can be disposed between the second rod segment 212 and the conveyor belt 13. The blocking component 5 includes a blocking cylinder 51 and a baffle 52. The blocking cylinder 51 can be fixed to the support frame. The moving trajectory of the baffle 52 can pass over the conveyor belt 13. The baffle 52 can retract or extend on the conveyor belt 13.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model includes: cosmetic bottles are conveyed by the conveying component 1 to the bottle picking station, which is located at the inverted bottle sensor 44 and the position sensor 45. The bottles can be conveyed in groups of N. When N is 4, the bottle at the picking station is marked as bottle 0 (100), and the bottles upstream are sequentially marked as bottle 1 (200), bottle 2 (300), and bottle 3 (400). When both the position sensor 45 and the inverted bottle sensor 44 have a signal, bottle 0 (100) is picked up. At the same time, if the first clamping sensor 41 detects a product, the first gripper 312 clamps it. If the first clamping sensor 41 has a signal and the second clamping sensor 42 detects a product, the second gripper 322 clamps it. If the first clamping sensor 41 and the second clamping sensor 42 have signals and the third clamping sensor 43 detects a product, the third gripper 332 clamps it, and so on, to achieve effective bottle separation. When the bottle is removed, both the position sensor 45 and the bottle inversion sensor 44 simultaneously lose signal. At this time, all grippers release, and bottles from subsequent workstations move forward with the conveyor belt. When the position sensor 45 and the bottle inversion sensor 44 regain signal, the grippers repeat the above steps.

[0044] If neither the positioning sensor 45 nor the bottle-inverting sensor 44 sends a signal, it means that no bottle is in position.

[0045] If only the positioning sensor 45 has a signal while the inverting sensor 44 has no signal, it means the bottle has been inverted.

[0046] Since the conveying component 1 does not stop immediately when it starts or stops abnormally, there is a risk that the bottles will accumulate and tip over. At this time, the blocking cylinder 51 in the blocking component 5 drives the baffle 52 to retract, and the tipped bottles are conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt 13 for discharge by the conveying component 1.
