Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production equipment technology, and more specifically to a conveying device for beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] The beverage industry has become one of the key sectors of my country's food industry, and beverage bottle conveying devices are crucial equipment in the beverage production process. Currently, beverage bottle conveying devices on the market are mainly divided into two categories: one type lacks any limiting structure, allowing beverage bottles to easily shift or tip over on the conveyor belt surface due to inertia, vibration, and other factors, leading to bottle jams and machine stoppages in subsequent processes, and even bottle breakage; the other type, while equipped with limiting functions, generally uses fixed limiting plates or simple baffles for limiting. These structures generate significant sliding friction when in contact with beverage bottles, which may scratch bottle labels or damage the bottle material, and also hinder the smooth movement of beverage bottles, causing fluctuations in conveying speed and affecting production rhythm.

[0003] The existing technology, disclosed in CN222023542U, describes a beverage production conveying device that uses a servo electric cylinder to drive a limiting box to move. The rotating limiting wheels within the limiting box contact the beverage bottles, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, thereby reducing friction during the limiting process and improving conveying stability to some extent. However, this invention also has the following problems: the limiting wheels on both sides are completely parallel, and the limiting distance is fixed, requiring beverage bottles to be manually placed on the conveyor belt one by one. This operation requires additional personnel to handle bottle placement, significantly increasing labor costs. Furthermore, there are natural recessed gaps between adjacent limiting wheels. When beverage bottles are subjected to vibrations from the conveyor belt seams, minor deformations of the bottle body, or airflow interference during conveying, the bottle edges easily sink into these gaps, causing lateral displacement or slight rotation of the bottle, disrupting the original conveying posture. This displacement directly affects the accuracy of subsequent operations. Therefore, this invention proposes a beverage production conveying device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveying device for beverage production, which can realize automatic sorting of beverage bottles, low friction limiting, high stability conveying, and can be adapted to different bottle types to meet the actual needs of efficient and high-quality production in the beverage industry.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A beverage production conveying device includes a base with several legs fixed to its lower end and side plates fixed to both sides of its upper end. A transport section is provided between the side plates. Each side plate has a clamping plate driven by a cylinder on its opposite surface above the transport section. Each clamping plate has a supporting section on its opposite surface. The supporting section includes a supporting inclined plate and a supporting straight plate. Each supporting section has end plates at its upper and lower ends. A side limiting section is provided between the end plates. The side limiting section includes a movable side sleeve.

[0006] Furthermore, the transport section includes several main shafts rotatably connected to the side plate, a transport belt is fitted around the outer ring of the main shaft, and a motor is fixedly installed on one side of the side plate, the motor driving the main shaft to rotate.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing plates are fixed between the support and the clamping plate, and the fixing plates are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the clamping plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the end portion includes an end inclined plate and an end straight plate, which are integrally formed. The supporting inclined plate and the supporting straight plate are also integrally formed. The end inclined plate and the end straight plate are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the corresponding supporting inclined plate and supporting straight plate on the side away from the clamping plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the side limiting part includes several secondary shafts located between the ends and rotatably connected to the ends. The secondary shafts are fitted with side sleeves, and a second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end. The second motor drives the secondary shafts to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting inclined plate and the end inclined plate are inclined inward on the side close to the supporting straight plate and the end straight plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection between the inclined support plate and the straight support plate is provided with an inner groove, and a limiting post is rotatably connected between the ends at the inner groove, the limiting post abutting against the inner side of the side sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the first motor and the second motor are driven synchronously through a synchronous controller, and the linear speed of the conveyor belt and the side sleeve are consistent.

[0013] Furthermore, there are several cylinder devices, and the cylinder devices are fixedly connected to the side of the side plate away from the clamping plate.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This utility model, through the inner inclined design of the supporting inclined plate and the end inclined plate, combined with the rotatable side sleeve, allows beverage bottles to automatically gather towards the center under the guidance of the inclined side sleeve after being placed on the conveyor belt, without the need for manual alignment of each bottle, thus gradually completing the single sorting and smooth transportation. This utility model drives the side sleeve to rotate synchronously through the secondary shaft, and the beverage bottles form rolling friction when they come into contact with the side sleeve. Compared with the sliding friction of the traditional limiting plate, the friction force can be effectively reduced. In addition, it can also effectively eliminate recessed gaps, making the transportation of beverage bottles more stable. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown in this specific embodiment, a beverage production conveying device includes a base 1. Several legs 2 are fixedly provided at the lower end of the base 1. The legs 2 are evenly distributed at the four corners and the middle of the lower end of the base 1 to form multi-point uniform support. This avoids the problem of deformation of the base 1 caused by the middle being suspended due to the traditional four-corner support, ensuring the overall structure of the device is stable. Moreover, the multi-point support can disperse the impact force generated by the motor vibration and the transmission of the conveyor belt 13 during the operation of the device, reduce the shaking of the base 1, and indirectly reduce the risk of beverage bottles tipping over due to device vibration.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, side plates 4 are fixed on both sides of the upper end of the base 1, and a transport section is provided between the side plates 4. The transport section includes several main shafts 17 that are rotatably connected to the side plates 4. The main shafts 17 and the side plates 4 are rotatably connected by rolling bearings. A transport belt 13 is sleeved on the outer ring of the main shafts 17. A motor 6 is fixed on one side of the side plate 4, and the motor 6 drives the main shafts 17 to rotate.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the side plates 4 are provided with clamping plates 11 on the upper end of the transport section on opposite sides, driven by a cylinder device 5. The cylinder device 5 drives the clamping plates 11 to move, which can flexibly adjust the spacing of the side sleeves 9 on both sides to adapt to beverage bottles of different widths. It can meet the conveying needs of multiple types of beverage bottles without replacing the limiting parts, thus improving the versatility of the device. The clamping plates 11 are provided with supporting parts on opposite sides, and several fixing plates 3 are fixed between the supporting parts and the clamping plates 11. The fixing plates 3 are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the clamping plates 11 to form a uniform force transmission path, which avoids the connection between the supporting parts and the clamping plates 11 from loosening or breaking due to local force concentration, thus extending the service life of the device.

[0021] There are several cylinder devices 5, and the cylinder devices 5 are fixedly connected to the side of the side plate 4 away from the clamping plate 11.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support part includes a support inclined plate 8 and a support straight plate 12. The upper and lower ends of the opposite surface of the support part are provided with end plates, and the end plates include end inclined plates 7 and end straight plates 10. The end inclined plates 7 and end straight plates 10 are integrally formed. The support inclined plate 8 and the support straight plate 12 are integrally formed. The end inclined plates 7 and end straight plates 10 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the corresponding support inclined plates 8 and support straight plates 12 on the side away from the clamping plate 11, respectively.

[0023] The support inclined plate 8 and the end inclined plate 7 are inclined inward on the side close to the support straight plate 12 and the end straight plate 10. After the beverage bottles are placed on the conveyor belt 13, they can automatically gather towards the center under the guidance of the inclined side sleeve 9, gradually achieving single sorting. There is no need for manual alignment of each bottle, which greatly reduces labor costs and improves conveying efficiency.

[0024] A side limiting part is provided between the ends. The side limiting part includes a movable side sleeve 9. The side limiting part includes several secondary shafts 14 located between the ends and rotatably connected to the ends. The secondary shafts 14 are rotatably connected to the ends through rolling bearings. The side sleeves 9 are sleeved on the secondary shafts 14. A second motor 18 is fixedly provided on one side of the upper end. The second motor 18 drives the secondary shafts 14 to rotate. The secondary shafts 14 drive the side sleeves 9 to rotate. When the beverage bottle contacts the side sleeves 9, it is a rolling friction. Compared with the sliding friction of the traditional limiting plate, the friction is significantly reduced, avoiding scratches on the bottle label or damage to the bottle body.

[0025] An inner groove 15 is provided at the connection between the support inclined plate 8 and the support straight plate 12. A limiting post 16 is rotatably connected at the end of the inner groove 15. The limiting post 16 abuts against the inner side of the side sleeve 9, which can limit the radial displacement of the side sleeve 9, so that one side of the side sleeve 9 can be inclined to match the support inclined plate 8.

[0026] Motor 6 and Motor 18 are driven synchronously through a synchronous controller, and the linear speed of conveyor belt 13 and side sleeve 9 is the same. The synchronous controller ensures that the linear speed of conveyor belt 13 and side sleeve 9 is completely consistent, avoiding relative slippage caused by speed difference. No relative slippage can reduce frictional wear between beverage bottle and side sleeve 9, and at the same time prevent the bottle from being dragged or blocked due to speed difference, thus protecting the integrity of the bottle's appearance.

[0027] Working principle: Motor 6 serves as the power source for the transport section. After being energized, it drives the main shaft 17 to rotate via a coupling. Since the conveyor belt 13 is tightly fitted around the outside of multiple main shafts 17, the rotational force of the main shafts 17 is transmitted to the conveyor belt 13 through friction, causing the conveyor belt 13 to circulate at a uniform speed along a preset direction (from the inlet end to the outlet end). After the beverage bottle is placed on the conveyor belt 13, the conveyor belt 13 drives the bottle to move synchronously through static friction with the bottom of the bottle, realizing the basic conveying function. The rolling bearing at the connection between the main shaft 17 and the side plate 4 converts the sliding friction between the main shaft 17 and the side plate 4 into rolling friction, reducing the rotational resistance of the main shaft 17, ensuring the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 13, and preventing the bottle from shaking due to jamming of the main shaft 17. The support inclined plate 8 of the support section and the end inclined plate 7 of the end both adopt a structure with one end inclined inward, and the inclined structures on both sides form a gradually changing channel with a wide inlet and a narrow outlet. Motor 18 drives the secondary shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the side sleeves 9 to move synchronously. When the beverage bottle enters the inclined channel, the inclined side sleeves 9 on both sides contact the side of the bottle. On the one hand, the movement of the side sleeves 9 generates rolling friction along the conveying direction, assisting the bottle to move forward. On the other hand, the inclined structure causes the side sleeves 9 to apply a lateral thrust to the bottle towards the center, pushing the bottle towards the centerline of the conveyor belt 13. As the bottle moves towards the discharge end, the inclined channel gradually narrows. Under the action of the lateral thrust, the side-by-side or staggered bottles gradually adjust their posture and are arranged in sequence along the centerline. When the bottle enters the parallel channel corresponding to the support plate 12 and the end plate 10, the distance between the two side sleeves 9 is precisely matched with the width of the bottle. The bottles are smoothly conveyed to the next process in a single sorting state without manual intervention. The cylinder device 5 drives the clamping plate 11 to move the support, end and side sleeves 9, adjusting the distance between the two side sleeves 9, forming a rigid constraint on the bottle from the left and right sides to prevent the bottle from shifting laterally. The support inclined plate 8 and Within the inner groove 15 at the connection of the supporting straight plate 12, the limiting post 16 abuts tightly against the side sleeve 9, limiting the radial displacement of the side sleeve 9. Regarding motor speed synchronization, both motor 1 6 and motor 2 18 are connected to the PLC controller via frequency converters. The PLC presets the target speeds of both. When the motors are running, the rotary encoder collects the speed and angle signals of the motor output shaft in real time and feeds them back to the high-speed counter of the PLC. If the speed difference between the two exceeds ±2%, the PLC immediately adjusts the output frequency of the motor frequency converter until the speeds are consistent, ensuring that there is no relative slippage between the conveyor belt 13 and the side sleeve 9. Regarding cylinder synchronization adjustment, the cylinder devices 5 on both side plates 4 are controlled by the same PLC output signal to control the electromagnetic reversing valve, ensuring that all cylinders are ventilated and de-ventilated simultaneously. The magnetic switch at the end of the cylinder piston rod detects the extension / retraction position in real time. If a cylinder is not in position, the PLC immediately stops the adjustment and alarms, avoiding uneven spacing between the two side sleeves 9 due to asynchronous cylinder action, which could cause the bottle to tilt to one side.

[0028] Regarding the operating procedure, connect the main power supply, press the power switch of the PLC controller, and set the parameters on the parameter setting interface of the touch screen, including inputting the target side sleeve 9 spacing according to the diameter of the beverage bottle. The PLC sends a start command to the frequency converters of motor 6 and motor 18. The frequency converters output the preset frequency, and the motors drive the conveyor belt 13 and the side sleeve 9 to rotate synchronously. The operator places beverage bottles in batches (e.g., 50-100 bottles at a time) at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 13. There is no need to align each bottle individually. The bottles move with the conveyor belt 13 to the inclined side sleeve 9 area, and automatically gather under the guidance of the inclined structure and the side sleeve 9, gradually forming a single sort, and finally smoothly conveyed to the next process at the discharge end.
