Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass bottle assembly technology, and relates to a conveyor line, particularly a bottle body conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] When assembling glass bottles such as cartridges and vials, long-distance transport is often required, and a transport line is usually used. The transport line is usually powered by a motor that drives a synchronous pulley. The synchronous pulley includes a driving pulley and a driven pulley. A synchronous belt is fitted on the driving pulley and the driven pulley. A carrier is set on the synchronous belt, and the bottle is placed on the carrier and is limited and transported.

[0003] Depending on the specific conveying requirements, some conveyor lines need to transport bottles upright for easier subsequent gripping. Upright bottles place higher demands on the carriers on the conveyor line compared to horizontally placed bottles. These carriers typically have mounting holes, into which the bottle is inserted for upright transport. The diameter of these mounting holes must be compatible with the bottle size. If the bottle size changes on the production line, the conveyor line will become incompatible. If the bottle diameter is too small, the bottle will wobble after insertion, resulting in poor stability; if the bottle diameter is too large, it cannot be inserted at all. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a bottle conveyor line. It solves the technical problem that existing conveyor lines are not suitable for conveying bottles of different sizes.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A bottle conveying line includes several carriers and a synchronous belt that can rotate cyclically. The carriers are characterized in that each carrier has a limiting groove for receiving the bottle body, and the synchronous belt is fixed with spaced fixed seats, each fixed seat corresponding to a carrier, and the corresponding fixed seats and carriers are mutually snap-fit ​​and detachably connected.

[0007] The synchronous belt of this transmission line is fixed with fixed seats at intervals. The fixed seats and the carriers are detachably connected by snap-fit. The size of the upper limit slot of the carrier can be customized according to the size of different bottles. The carriers are changed accordingly when transporting different batches of bottles of different sizes. The carriers can be flexibly changed through the snap-fit ​​connection, so that the conveyor line can be adapted to transport bottles of various sizes.

[0008] In the above-mentioned bottle conveying line, the fixed seat is provided with a mating groove, and the bottom of the carrier is provided with a receiving part. The carrier is mated with the mating groove through the receiving part. The side wall of the mating groove and the outer periphery of the receiving part are respectively provided with a clip and a recess. The clip and the recess are engaged and fixed.

[0009] A mating groove is provided on the fixed base, and a socket is provided on the carrier. The socket and the mating groove fit together, making the carrier connection to the fixed base more stable and the connection tighter. At the same time as the socket and the mating groove fit together, the clips and recesses located on the mating groove and the socket engage and lock each other. The engagement of the clips and the recesses restricts the circumferential and axial movement of the carrier, allowing the carrier to be replaced while ensuring a stable connection between the carrier and the fixed base.

[0010] In the aforementioned bottle conveying line, the fixed base is provided with an opening and closing claw, and the carrier has a gripping position for the opening and closing claw to hold. The carrier is fixed to the fixed base by the opening and closing claw engaging the gripping position.

[0011] As another implementation method, a clamping structure similar to a clasp can be designed on the fixed base. The carrier is fixed to the fixed base by clamping the carrier with the clasp. The clasp grips a part of the carrier in a snap-fit ​​relationship. The carrier can be disassembled and replaced by opening and closing the clasp to improve the adaptability of the conveyor line.

[0012] In the above-mentioned bottle conveying line, the insert has a columnar structure and an annular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the insert. A cutting groove connected to the annular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the insert. The cutting groove extends downward to the outer periphery of the end of the insert. The concave part is located at the annular groove.

[0013] An annular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the socket, and a circumferential groove is also formed in a part of the socket. When the socket enters the mating groove, the clip can avoid it at the circumferential groove. After the socket is inserted into the mating groove, the clip can avoid it through the annular groove. By rotating the carrier, the clip can be moved along the annular groove and finally locked into the inner recess. This installation and connection method is precise and stable and reliable after installation.

[0014] In the aforementioned bottle conveying line, the clamp has a cylindrical structure and a constricted opening at one end. A spring and a steel ball are provided on the inner side of the clamp. One end of the spring pushes against the steel ball so that it abuts against the inner edge of the opening, and part of the steel ball is exposed outside the opening.

[0015] The clip in this application has a spring press-fitted inside. The spring pushes the steel ball so that part of it protrudes. The protruding steel ball is inserted into the concave part to lock the vehicle. This locking structure is a non-rigid locking relationship. While ensuring the stability of the connection, it makes the vehicle easy to disassemble and assemble. In special cases, the vehicle can be pulled out or put in directly without rotation, which further improves its adaptability.

[0016] In the above-mentioned bottle conveying line, several carriers are divided into several carrier groups. Each carrier in each carrier group corresponds one-to-one with the fixed seat on the synchronous belt. The diameter of the mating groove in the same carrier group is the same, while the diameter of the mating groove in different carrier groups is different. The sockets on all carriers are the same.

[0017] The carriers in this application can be divided into multiple groups according to needs, and each carrier group can carry a bottle of a certain size. By changing the carrier group on the conveyor line, the conveyor line can transport bottles of different sizes, thus improving the adaptability of the conveyor line.

[0018] In the above-mentioned bottle conveying line, the surface of the timing belt has several T-shaped protrusions arranged at intervals. The protrusions are all arranged along the width direction of the timing belt. The bottom of the fixing seat is provided with a T-shaped groove that cooperates with the protrusions. The fixing seat moves laterally to make the protrusions slide into the T-shaped groove.

[0019] The surface of the timing belt has T-shaped protrusions. The mounting base is fixed to the timing belt by engaging with the protrusions through the T-shaped groove at its bottom. The mounting base cannot move in the transmission direction, but it can be removed by lateral movement. Removing the mounting base allows for replacement of the mounting base or the timing belt. This enables the conveyor line to transport different bottle types while making component replacement more flexible and meeting the needs of various working conditions.

[0020] In the above-mentioned bottle conveying line, the conveying line includes a frame with an installation station. The installation station has side-edge sheet metal on both sides. The synchronous belt is located at the installation station and its upper surface is located below the upper edge of the side-edge sheet metal, so that the fixed seat can form a blocking and limiting relationship with the side-edge sheet metal on both sides.

[0021] The conveyor line has side-edge sheet metal on both sides, and there is an installation station between the side-edge sheet metal. The timing belt is installed at the installation station. After the fixed seat is connected to the timing belt, the lateral movement of the fixed seat is restricted by the side-edge sheet metal, making the connection between the fixed seat and the timing belt more stable.

[0022] In the aforementioned bottle conveying line, the fixed seat has protruding abutment edges on both sides. The abutment edges on both sides are located above the side edge sheet metal on both sides and can abut against the upper surface of the side edge.

[0023] The protruding design of the two sides of the fixed base forms a stop with the upper surface of the side edge sheet metal, which can ensure the moving height of the fixed base, so that the height of the bottles on the carrier is consistent and the transfer is stable.

[0024] In the above-mentioned bottle conveying line, the fixed seat includes a base and a panel block. The panel block and the base are fixed together by bolts. The T-shaped groove is provided on the bottom of the base, and the mating groove is provided on the panel block.

[0025] The mounting bracket of this application includes a base and a panel block. The base is used to connect with the timing belt, and the panel block is used to connect with the carrier. The base and the panel block are connected by bolts and can also be disassembled. This multi-position detachable structure allows each part to be flexibly disassembled and installed according to needs, which further improves the adaptability of this conveyor line.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this product are:

[0027] 1. The carrier of this transmission line is detachable and can be connected by snap-fit. The size of the upper limit slot of the carrier can be customized according to the size of different bottles. The carrier can be changed accordingly when transporting different batches of bottles of different sizes. The carrier can be flexibly changed through snap-fit ​​connection, so that the conveyor line can be adapted to transport bottles of various sizes.

[0028] 2. The fixed base on this transmission line can be removed by lateral movement, allowing for replacement of the fixed base or the timing belt. The fixed base includes a base and a panel block, which are connected by bolts and can also be disassembled. This multi-position detachable structure allows each part to be flexibly disassembled and installed according to needs. While enabling the transmission of different bottle types, it also makes component replacement more flexible and meets the needs of various working conditions. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 The illustrated bottle conveying line includes several carriers 1 and a conveyor line body. The conveyor line includes a frame 5, with side-edging sheet metal 52 on both sides of the frame 5. An installation station 51 is formed between the two side-edging sheet metal 52. Two synchronous pulleys are installed at both ends of the side-edging sheet metal 52. One of the synchronous pulleys is connected to a coupling, which is connected to an output motor 6. The motor 6 drives the output motor 6 to rotate. The synchronous pulley with the motor 6 is the driving pulley, and the other is the driven pulley. A synchronous belt 2 is mounted on the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The synchronous belt 2 is driven to rotate cyclically by the synchronous pulley. In this embodiment, the conveyor line needs to convey cartridge bottles and vials. The several carriers 1 are divided into two groups according to the conveying requirements. Each carrier 1 in each group has a limiting groove 11 for conveying the corresponding bottle size. The bottle body can be directly inserted into the limiting groove 11 by a robotic arm. The synchronous belt 2 is fixed with spaced fixed seats 3. The carrier 1 and the fixed seat 3 have a snap-fit ​​fixing structure. According to the conveying requirements, the carrier 1 in the same group is snap-fitted to each fixed seat 3. When other bottles need to be transferred later, the size of the upper limit groove 11 of the carrier 1 can be customized according to the size of different bottles. The corresponding carrier 1 is replaced accordingly when conveying different sizes of batches of bottles. The snap-fit ​​connection relationship enables flexible replacement of carrier 1, so as to realize the conveyor line to adapt to the conveying of bottles of various sizes.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the specific locking structure between the fixed base 3 and the carrier 1 is as follows: The fixed base 3 has a mating groove 311, and the bottom of the carrier 1 has a protruding socket 12. The carrier 1 engages with the mating groove 311 through the socket 12, making the carrier 1 more stable and tightly connected to the fixed base 3. Furthermore, the side wall of the mating groove 311 and the outer periphery of the socket 12 are respectively provided with clips 4 and recesses 13, which are locked together. Through holes are laterally opened on opposite sides of the inner wall of the mating groove 311, and clips 4 are fixed in both through holes. The end portion of the clip 4 protrudes from the inner wall of the mating groove 311 for locking. The two clips 4 are positioned opposite each other to correspond to the two recesses 13 on the outer periphery of the socket 12, locking together for better stability. While the socket 12 is engaged with the mating groove 311, the clip 4 and the recess 13 located on the mating groove 311 and the socket 12 engage and lock with each other. The engagement of the clip 4 and the recess 13 can restrict the circumferential and axial movement of the carrier 1, so as to realize the replaceability of the carrier 1 under the premise of ensuring the stable connection between the carrier 1 and the fixed seat 3.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The specific structure of the engagement between the socket 12 and the mating groove 311 includes an annular groove 14 formed on the outer periphery of the socket 12. The socket 12 has a columnar structure, and a groove 15 connected to the annular groove 14 is formed on the outer periphery of the socket 12. The groove 15 extends downward to the outer periphery at the end of the socket 12. The depth of the groove 15 is greater than the depth of the annular groove 14, so that the clip 4 can be better guided into the groove 15. The groove 15 and the annular groove 14 form a step-by-step guide for the clip 4 to enter, which is smoother and more stable. The recessed portion 13 is located at the annular groove 14. The depth of the recessed portion 13 is greater than the depth of the annular groove 14, and the width of the recessed portion 13 is greater than that of the annular groove 14. Therefore, the clip 4 can be inserted into the recessed portion 13. Moreover, the end of the clip 4 is a floating structure, which can retract partially when moving at the annular groove 14 and fully extend and fit into the recessed portion 13 when it reaches the recessed portion 13. This design ensures good stability and accuracy for connecting and fixing the carrier 1 and the fixing seat 3. The number of slots 15 corresponds to the number of clips 4, which are also two and are arranged opposite each other. The angle between the slots 15 and the recessed portion 13 in the circumferential direction is 90 degrees. When the socket 12 enters the mating groove 311, the clip 4 avoids the groove 15. After the socket 12 is inserted into the mating groove 311, the clip 4 is located in the annular groove 14 and avoids the groove 14. The carrier is rotated 190 degrees and the carrier 1 is installed in place. During the rotation, the clip 4 moves along the annular groove 14 and finally locks into the concave part 13. This installation and connection method is precise and stable and reliable after installation.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3The specific structure of the clip 4 shown is as follows: The clip 4 has a cylindrical structure with a constricted opening at one end. A spring 41 and a steel ball 42 are provided inside the clip 4. One end of the spring 41 pushes against the steel ball 42, causing it to abut against the inner edge of the opening, with a portion of the steel ball 42 exposed outside the opening. The entire clip 4 is threaded into the through hole. The clip 4 of this application has a spring 41 press-fitted inside. The spring 41 pushes the steel ball 42, causing a portion to protrude. The protruding portion of the steel ball 42 engages with the recessed portion 13 to hold the carrier 1. This locking structure is a non-rigid locking relationship, which, while ensuring a stable connection, allows for diverse assembly and disassembly of the carrier 1. In special circumstances, the carrier 1 can be directly pulled out or inserted without rotation, further improving its adaptability.

[0042] like Figure 6 The specific connection structure between the synchronous belt 2 and the fixed seat 3 is as follows: Several T-shaped protrusions 21 are spaced apart on the surface of the synchronous belt 2, all arranged along the width direction of the synchronous belt 2. The bottom of the fixed seat 3 has a T-shaped groove 321 that mates with the protrusions 21. The fixed seat 3 moves laterally, causing the protrusions 21 to slide into the T-shaped groove 321. The fixed seat 3 cannot move in the transmission direction, but can be removed by lateral movement. Removing the fixed seat 3 allows for replacement of the fixed seat 3 or the synchronous belt 2, enabling the conveyor line to transport different bottle types while making component replacement more flexible and meeting the needs of various working conditions. Furthermore, the synchronous belt 2 is located at the installation position 51, with its upper surface below the upper edge of the side edge sheet metal 52, so that the fixed seat 3 can form a blocking and limiting relationship with the side edge sheet metal 52 on both sides. The conveyor line has side-edge sheet metal 52 on both sides, and an installation station 51 between the side-edge sheet metal 52. The synchronous belt 2 is installed at the installation station 51. After the fixed seat 3 is connected to the synchronous belt 2, the lateral movement of the fixed seat 3 is restricted by the side-edge sheet metal 52, making the connection between the fixed seat 3 and the synchronous belt 2 more stable. Furthermore, the fixed seat 3 has protruding abutment edges 322 on both opposite sides. The abutment edges 322 on both sides are located above the side-edge sheet metal 52 on both sides and can abut against the upper surface of the side-edge. The protruding design of the abutment edges 322 on both sides of the fixed seat 3 abuts against the upper surface of the side-edge sheet metal 52, which ensures that the moving height of the fixed seat 3 is consistent, making the height of the bottles on the carrier 1 uniform and ensuring stable transfer.

[0043] Furthermore, the specific structure of the fixed base 3 includes a base 32 and a panel block 31. The panel block 31 is fixed to the base 32 by bolts. A T-shaped groove 321 is provided on the bottom of the base 32, and a mating groove 311 is provided on the panel block 31. The fixed base 3 of this application includes a base 32 and a panel block 31. The base 32 is used to connect with the synchronous belt 2, and the panel block 31 is used to connect with the carrier 1. The base 32 and the panel block 31 are connected by bolts and can also be disassembled. This multi-position detachable structure allows each part to be flexibly disassembled and installed according to needs, further improving the adaptability of this conveyor line.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] The other structures in this embodiment are basically the same as those in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the socket 12 in this application is made of elastic material, preferably rubber. The socket 12 and the mating groove 311 are tightly fitted and directly socketed and fixed.

[0046] Furthermore, protruding points can be designed inside the mating groove 311, and recesses can be designed on the socket 12 to match the protruding points. Both are engaged with each other through a tight socket fit.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] In this embodiment, the other structures are basically the same as in Embodiment 1, except that: the fixed base 3 is provided with opening and closing claws, and the carrier 1 has a gripping position for the opening and closing claws to hold it. The carrier 1 is fixed to the fixed base 3 by the opening and closing claws snapping into the gripping position. As another implementation, a clamping structure similar to the opening and closing claws can be designed on the fixed base 3. The carrier 1 is fixed to the fixed base 3 by clamping the carrier 1 with the opening and closing claws. The gripping position of the carrier 1 by the opening and closing claws is a snap-fit ​​relationship. The carrier 1 can be disassembled and replaced by opening and closing the opening and closing claws to improve the adaptability of the conveyor line.
