Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water production equipment, and in particular to a Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of relieving exterior syndromes and dampness, regulating qi and harmonizing the middle jiao. It is mainly used for colds caused by external wind-cold, internal dampness stagnation, or summer heat and dampness. The main symptoms of colds include headache, dizziness, chest tightness, abdominal distension and pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Currently, the production process of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water generally involves filling it into corresponding plastic bottles using a Huoxiang Zhengqi Water filling machine, thus achieving mass production of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

[0003] In the pre-filling process, empty bottles used for filling Huoxiang Zhengqi Water need to be sorted. This involves adjusting a group of empty bottles with inconsistent bottle opening orientations to have the same orientation using a bottle-sorting device. Taking the solution in publication number CN110562712A, entitled "A Bottle-Sorting Device," as an example, it achieves the adjustment of bottle opening orientation by reversing the direction of the bottles as they slide along the feeding track. Specifically, at the beginning of the bottles sliding along the feeding track, some bottle openings are facing downwards, while others are facing upwards. When a bottle with its opening facing downwards approaches a swing rod, the swing rod inserts into the bottle opening and then rotates around a turntable with the bottle. After rotation, the swing rod separates from the bottle at the downstream end of the feeding track. Upon separation, the bottle opening is adjusted to face upwards along the feeding track, thus adjusting the openings of all bottles sliding along the feeding track to face upwards. Besides the solutions mentioned above, existing technologies also commonly employ structures for reversing bottle necks. However, after reversing, these structures require a long conveyor belt to transport the reversed empty bottles to the tray, resulting in significant disconnect between the three processes: empty bottle reversing, empty bottle traying, and empty bottle filling, thus reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine that can complete the empty bottle traying after the empty bottle is reversed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine, including a bottle sorting device, which is used to sort the bottle mouths of empty bottles to be aligned, including a tray feeding mechanism, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the bottle sorting device; including a tray lifting mechanism, on which a tray is provided, and the tray feeding outlet of the tray feeding mechanism is located above the tray groove of the tray.

[0006] Furthermore, the tray loading mechanism includes a tray loading device, which includes at least two guide slots. Each guide slot includes a guide slot inlet and a guide slot outlet. The inlet width of the guide slot inlet is greater than the outlet width of the guide slot outlet. The guide slot inlets are arranged side by side, and the guide slot outlets are arranged side by side. The guide slot outlets are connected to the tray loading outlets in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0007] Furthermore, it includes a feeding mechanism, the outlet of which is connected to the inlet of the bottle unscrambling device.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding conveyor belt and a pair of sorting baffles, with the sorting baffles located on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt, and the outlet of the feeding conveyor belt connected to the inlet of the bottle sorting device.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a hopper, which is connected to the inlet of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, the pallet includes at least one pallet groove that extends in a straight line and the extension directions of the pallet grooves are parallel to each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the pallet lifting mechanism includes a drive motor and a pallet support for carrying the pallet. When one of the pallet slots of the pallet is filled with empty bottles, the drive motor drives the pallet support to move so that the pallet inlet outlet of the pallet inlet mechanism is positioned above the other pallet slot of the pallet.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: I. In actual production, empty bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water are aligned by a bottle-sorting device to ensure consistent bottle orientation. The empty bottles then enter the tray-feeding mechanism, which transports them to the tray slots on a pallet, thus completing the empty bottle loading process. The tray, once loaded, moves under the drive of a tray lifting mechanism, transferring empty bottles from the tray-feeding outlet to new tray slots, thereby achieving continuous empty bottle loading. After continuously completing empty bottle reversal and loading, the pallet only needs to be moved to the empty bottle filling stage to begin filling, significantly improving production efficiency. Production speeds can reach over 800 bottles per minute, and the space requirements for related equipment are also reduced.

[0013] II. In actual use, a row of empty bottles delivered from the bottle unloading device's outlet is positioned into the guide troughs in a one-to-one correspondence. The bottles are then allowed to slide along the guide troughs towards their outlets. During this sliding process, because the guide trough outlets are arranged side-by-side and the inlet width of the guide trough is greater than the outlet width, the spacing between the bottles in this row gradually decreases, meaning the bottles gradually move closer together and are finally positioned in the tray slot through the guide trough outlet, thus reducing the spacing between the bottles. This solution allows for convenient and rapid adjustment of the spacing between empty bottles, ensuring accurate delivery to the tray slots and improving production efficiency.

[0014] Third, by setting up a feeding mechanism, the originally chaotic pile of empty bottles is initially organized into a straight-line queue. At this point, the bottle openings are either facing the same direction as the feeding mechanism or opposite to it. Subsequently, the queue of empty bottles enters the bottle sorting device, where the bottle openings are aligned to be the same direction. The cooperation between the feeding mechanism and the bottle sorting device greatly improves the efficiency of empty bottle sorting.

[0015] Fourth, the tray slots on the pallet have a linear structure, and the extension directions of the tray slots are parallel to each other. This not only facilitates the entry of empty bottles arranged in rows into the tray slots, but also allows the pallet lifting mechanism to move the pallet along a direction perpendicular to the tray slots. This moves the tray slots on the pallet that are not yet filled with empty bottles to below the tray entry outlet of the tray feeding mechanism, thereby quickly enabling the loading of the next row of empty bottles and significantly improving the efficiency of empty bottle loading. This tray slot arrangement also greatly improves the subsequent empty bottle filling process.

[0016] This invention is particularly applicable to the production process of Huoxiang Zhengqi water bottles. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 The illustration shows an embodiment of the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine. The Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine is mounted on the integrated support 6 at the bottom. The integrated support 6 not only provides the necessary structural support, but also allows the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine to be moved as a whole. Figure 1 In the process, empty bottles 7 are placed in hopper 1, and the empty bottles 7 in hopper 1 are generally in a relatively chaotic and random stacked state. The feeding mechanism 2 includes several feeding conveyor belts 22, which are inclined and arranged adjacent to each other and parallel to each other. The lowest end of the feeding conveyor belt 22, that is, the inlet of the feeding conveyor belt 22, is located in hopper 1, and the highest end of the feeding conveyor belt 22, that is, the outlet of the feeding conveyor belt 22, is connected to the inlet of the bottle sorting device 3. Each feeding conveyor belt 22 has a sorting baffle 21 on both sides, which extends along the direction of the feeding conveyor belt 22. When the empty bottles 7 are conveyed by the feeding conveyor belt 22 and pass through the sorting baffle 21, the sorting baffle 21 adjusts the empty bottles 7 to be arranged along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 22. That is, the empty bottles 7 are adjusted to be arranged along the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 22. At this time, some of the empty bottles 7 have their bottle mouths facing the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 22, while the bottle mouths of other empty bottles 7 are opposite to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 22.

[0025] The empty bottles 7 collected by the feeding mechanism 2 are conveyed into the bottle unscrambling device 3. The bottle unscrambling device 3, referencing existing bottle unscrambling devices, adjusts the orientation of the bottle openings of the empty bottles 7 so that they face away from the tray feeding mechanism 4. Specifically, for empty bottles 7 whose openings face the swing arm of the bottle unscrambling device 3, the swing arm inserts into the bottle opening. Subsequently, the swing arm carries the empty bottles 7 and rotates around the turntable. After rotation, the swing arm separates from the empty bottles 7 downstream of the feeding track. During separation, the bottle openings of the empty bottles 7 are adjusted to face upwards along the feeding track. This achieves the goal of adjusting the openings of all empty bottles 7 sliding along the feeding track to face upwards, effectively adjusting the openings of all empty bottles 7 to face away from the tray feeding mechanism 4.

[0026] Empty bottle 7 was then transported to Figure 2Inside the tray loading unit 41 shown. Because the inlet width D1 of the guide groove inlet 411 is greater than the outlet width D2 of the guide groove outlet 412, the guide groove inlets 411 are arranged side by side, and the guide groove outlets 412 are arranged side by side. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a row of empty bottles 7 located above the tray loading device 41 passes through the guide groove 413. The guide groove baffles 414 on both sides of the guide groove 413 move the bottles 7 in a direction that reduces the distance between them. Finally, at the guide groove outlet 412, a row of empty bottles 7 with even smaller spacing is formed, facilitating their transport to the next tray 81. Several guide groove baffles 414, perpendicular to the bottom plate of the tray loading device 41, form several guide grooves 413. The width of the guide groove inlet 411 of each guide groove 413, i.e., the inlet width D1, is greater than the width of the guide groove outlet 412, i.e., the outlet width D2. This causes the formed guide grooves 413 to gradually narrow into a funnel shape, thereby gradually reducing the distance between the empty bottles 7 to a suitable range for placement in the downstream tray 81.

[0027] Next, the empty bottle 7, after being sorted at the inlet outlet 42, is conveyed to the tray slot 81 of the tray 8. Among them, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the tray 8 includes several tray slots 81, which extend in a straight line and are parallel to each other. The tray lifting mechanism 5 includes a drive motor and a tray support for supporting the tray 8. When one of the tray slots 81 of the tray 8 is filled with empty bottles 7, the drive motor drives the tray support to move a certain distance, thereby positioning the tray inlet outlet 42 of the tray inlet mechanism 4 above another row of tray slots 81 that are not yet filled with empty bottles 7. The tray inlet outlet 42 then transports the next row of empty bottles 7 into the other row of tray slots 81 that are not yet filled with empty bottles 7. This cycle continues until all the tray slots 81 of the tray 8 are filled with empty bottles 7. Figure 5 After the tray 8 is filled with empty bottles 7, it is transported to the filling stage for filling. Alternatively, the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water bottle sorting and traying machine can also be controlled by a PLC to control the entire process.
