Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and further to a bottle conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the bottled product manufacturing process, non-powered bottle separating devices are often used to orderly separate continuously conveyed bottles to ensure accurate operation of subsequent filling, labeling, and other processes. Currently, the commonly used non-powered bottle separating method relies primarily on the bottle's own weight to achieve separation. Its separating speed cannot be dynamically adjusted to the rhythm of subsequent processes, easily leading to bottle accumulation and congestion at the outlet due to excessive flow velocity, and even problems such as bottle tipping and jamming. Furthermore, when subsequent processes experience brief pauses, the front-end bottle separating process cannot stop synchronously, still requiring manual intervention to handle the faults, severely impacting the overall continuity and efficiency of production.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a bottle conveying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bottle conveying device that effectively improves the reliability and automation of the bottle-separating process through upstream and downstream coordinated control.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bottle conveying device, comprising:

[0006] Conveyor lines are used for the continuous transport of bottled products;

[0007] A non-powered turntable is located upstream of the conveyor line to orderly separate continuously input bottled products;

[0008] A material blockage detection mechanism is located downstream of the conveyor line;

[0009] A stop mechanism is installed at the unpowered turntable and is signal-connected to the blockage detection mechanism.

[0010] When the material blockage detection mechanism detects a blockage downstream, it controls the stop mechanism to limit the unpowered turntable to prevent it from continuing to separate bottled products.

[0011] In some embodiments, the unpowered turntable has multiple arc-shaped bottle-separating slots evenly distributed around its circumference. The shape of the arc-shaped bottle-separating slots is adapted to the shape of the bottled products and is used to accommodate and separate individual bottled products.

[0012] In some embodiments, the unpowered turntable is rotatably mounted on one side of the conveyor line via a rotating shaft;

[0013] The opening of the arc-shaped bottle-separating groove faces the middle of the width direction of the conveyor line;

[0014] The thickness of the non-powered turntable is less than the height of the bottled product.

[0015] In some embodiments, the stopping mechanism includes a driving member and a stopping member, wherein the driving end of the driving member is connected to the stopping member;

[0016] When a blockage signal is received, the drive unit drives the stop to contact the unpowered turntable, and brakes the unpowered turntable by friction.

[0017] In some embodiments, the drive member includes a cylinder, and the stop member includes a push rod;

[0018] The cylinder can drive the push rod to extend and abut against the surface or periphery of the unpowered turntable.

[0019] In some embodiments, the cylinder and the push rod are positioned below the unpowered turntable for contact with the bottom of the unpowered turntable;

[0020] Alternatively, the cylinder and the push rod are disposed on the side of the unpowered turntable for contact with the periphery of the unpowered turntable.

[0021] In some embodiments, the stopping mechanism is an electromagnetic brake, installed at the shaft of the unpowered turntable;

[0022] When a blockage signal is received, the electromagnetic brake applies a braking torque to the rotating shaft.

[0023] In some implementations, it also includes: a controller;

[0024] The blockage detection mechanism is signal-connected to the controller;

[0025] The controller is configured to determine downstream blockage when a bottle signal is continuously detected within a set time, and to control the stop mechanism to perform a braking action.

[0026] In some embodiments, the material blockage detection mechanism is a through-beam photoelectric sensor, with its transmitting end and receiving end respectively located on both sides of the conveyor line, used to determine whether material is accumulating and blocking by detecting the on / off state of the detection beam.

[0027] In some implementations, it also includes:

[0028] An alarm device is connected to the controller;

[0029] When the controller determines that a blockage has occurred, it triggers the alarm to issue a warning signal.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the bottle conveying device provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0031] In this invention, the reliability and automation of the bottle-splitting process are effectively improved through upstream and downstream coordinated control. The downstream blockage detection mechanism monitors the bottle flow status in real time. Once a blockage is detected, it immediately sends a signal to the stop mechanism. The stop mechanism then mechanically limits the upstream unpowered turntable, suspending the bottle-splitting operation. This device can automatically block the continuous supply of bottles, fundamentally avoiding accumulation, bottle tipping, and bottle jamming caused by the stagnation of subsequent processes. This ensures the continuity and stability of the production process and significantly reduces the need for manual intervention. Attached Figure Description

[0039] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0040] To keep the drawings concise, each figure only schematically shows the parts relevant to the utility model, and these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0041] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0042] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention provides a bottle conveying device, comprising: a conveying line 1, a non-powered turntable 2, a blockage detection mechanism 3, and a stop mechanism 4. The conveying line 1 is used to continuously convey bottled products 5; the non-powered turntable 2 is located upstream of the conveying line 1 and is used to orderly separate the continuously input bottled products 5; the blockage detection mechanism 3 is located downstream of the conveying line 1; the stop mechanism 4 is installed at the non-powered turntable 2 and is signal-connected to the blockage detection mechanism 3; when the blockage detection mechanism 3 detects a blockage downstream, it controls the stop mechanism 4 to limit the non-powered turntable 2 to prevent it from continuing to separate bottled products 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the reliability and automation of the bottle-splitting process are effectively improved through upstream and downstream collaborative control. The downstream blockage detection mechanism 3 monitors the bottle flow status in real time. Once a blockage is detected, it immediately sends a signal to the stop mechanism 4. The stop mechanism 4 then mechanically limits the upstream unpowered turntable 2, causing it to stop the bottle-splitting operation. This device can automatically block the continuous supply of bottles, fundamentally avoiding the accumulation, bottle tipping, and bottle jamming caused by the stagnation of subsequent processes. This ensures the continuity and stability of the production process and significantly reduces the need for manual intervention.

[0046] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The non-powered turntable 2 has multiple arc-shaped bottle-separating grooves 21 evenly distributed around its circumference. The shape of the arc-shaped bottle-separating grooves 21 is adapted to the shape of the bottled product 5, and is used to accommodate and separate individual bottled products 5. By reliably accommodating and holding individual bottled products 5 through the arc-shaped bottle-separating grooves 21, the non-powered turntable 2 can continuously and stably separate bottles one by one during rotation, effectively avoiding blockage problems caused by multiple bottles being output at the same time or bottles being tilted, improving the orderliness and reliability of the bottle-separating process, and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes.

[0047] Furthermore, the non-powered turntable 2 is rotatably mounted on one side of the conveyor line 1 via a rotating shaft 22, allowing for flexible rotation; the opening of the arc-shaped bottle-separating groove 21 faces the center of the width direction of the conveyor line 1, enabling it to accurately receive and align the bottled products 5 from the conveyor line 1; the thickness of the non-powered turntable 2 is less than the height of the bottled products 5, ensuring that the bottled products 5 maintain a stable standing posture in the arc-shaped bottle-separating groove 21, making them less prone to tipping over, further ensuring the stability and reliability of the bottle-separating and conveying process.

[0048] It should be noted that the specific structure and installation structure of the non-powered turntable 2 are described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the specification. In actual use, other structures can also be used, as long as the above functions can be achieved. This is only for better illustrating the present utility model and should not constitute a limitation on the present utility model.

[0049] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figures 1 to 4 The stop mechanism 4 includes a drive component 41 and a stop component 42, with the drive end of the drive component 41 connected to the stop component 42. When a blockage signal is received, the drive component 41 drives the stop component 42 to contact the unpowered turntable 2, braking the unpowered turntable 2 through friction. The stop mechanism 4 can promptly and reliably interrupt the bottle-separating operation, effectively preventing bottles from continuing to accumulate in the event of blockage, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment and the stability of the production process.

[0050] For example, refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 3 , Figure 4The driving component 41 includes a cylinder, and the stop component 42 includes a push rod. The cylinder can drive the push rod to extend, so that it abuts against the surface or periphery of the unpowered turntable 2. The pneumatic actuation method is responsive and reliable, and can interrupt the bottle-separating process in time, effectively preventing the bottles from continuing to accumulate in the event of blockage, thus ensuring the safety of the equipment and the stability of production.

[0051] For example, the cylinder and push rod are positioned below the unpowered turntable 2 to contact its bottom; or, the cylinder and push rod are positioned on the side of the unpowered turntable 2 to contact its periphery. This multi-position installation adaptability allows the device to be optimized for different production line layouts and structural characteristics, ensuring that the braking mechanism can effectively contact the turntable in various installation environments, providing reliable braking performance and enhancing the overall adaptability and practicality of the equipment.

[0052] For example, the stop mechanism 4 is an electromagnetic brake, installed on the shaft 22 of the unpowered turntable 2; when a blockage signal is received, the electromagnetic brake applies a braking torque to the shaft 22. The braking method, which acts directly on the shaft 22, provides rapid response and precise control, and can instantly interrupt the bottle-separating operation, effectively preventing the bottles from continuing to accumulate in the event of a blockage. At the same time, it avoids the wear and impact that may occur with mechanical contact braking, thus improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0053] It should be noted that the specific structure and installation structure of the stop mechanism 4 are described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the specification. In actual use, other structures may also be used, as long as the above functions can be achieved. This is only for better illustrating the present utility model and should not constitute a limitation on the present utility model.

[0054] In one embodiment, refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottle conveying device also includes: a controller; a blockage detection mechanism 3 connected to the controller via a signal; the controller is configured to determine downstream blockage when it continuously detects a bottle signal within a set time, and control the stop mechanism 4 to perform a braking action. Through intelligent judgment logic, the controller can accurately distinguish between normal flow and actual blockage, effectively avoiding false actions, significantly improving the accuracy of blockage identification and the reliability of system response, achieving fully automated blockage detection and processing, and reducing reliance on manual intervention.

[0055] For example, the blockage detection mechanism 3 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor, with its transmitter and receiver located on opposite sides of the conveyor line 1. It determines whether material is accumulating and causing a blockage by detecting the on / off state of the light beam. When the bottle passes normally, the light beam is blocked and then recovers, forming a pulse signal; however, when a blockage occurs downstream, the light beam is continuously blocked, and the sensor determines this as an abnormal state. This detection method is rapid and accurate, reliably distinguishing between normal flow and actual blockage, providing accurate judgment for the control system, thereby triggering braking actions in a timely manner and effectively preventing further deterioration of the blockage. Of course, the blockage detection mechanism 3 can also use other sensors, as long as they can achieve the above functions.

[0056] Furthermore, the bottle conveying device also includes an alarm connected to the controller; when the controller determines that a blockage has occurred, the alarm is triggered to issue a warning signal. By setting up the alarm, operators can be promptly alerted to abnormal situations, facilitating rapid manual intervention and troubleshooting, effectively preventing production interruptions or equipment damage caused by untimely blockages.

[0057] Existing non-powered bottle-splitting devices rely solely on the bottle's own weight and mechanical guiding structure for separation, lacking proactive control capabilities and struggling to adapt to the conveying requirements of different bottle sizes and the dynamic changes in the rhythm of subsequent processes. This application employs a proactive intervention mechanism of "photoelectric detection-pneumatic braking," which, while retaining the energy-saving advantages of non-powered devices, achieves real-time response and intelligent adjustment to blockages and abnormal conditions during the bottle-splitting process. This device represents a systematic structural optimization of non-powered bottle-splitting devices, rather than a replacement of local components, significantly improving the adaptability, reliability, and overall automation level of the bottle-splitting process.

[0058] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts that are not described in detail or recorded in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0059] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only optional embodiments of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
