Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid filling production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an adjustable bottle feeding mechanism and a liquid filling device containing the mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of liquid filling production, the bottle unscrambling mechanism is a key component of filling equipment. Its function is to organize and arrange the randomly transported bottles, and to make them pass through the filling station in a way that is evenly spaced and accurately positioned, so as to ensure the stability and accuracy of the filling process.

[0003] Currently, most liquid filling equipment on the market uses bottle-scrambling mechanisms with fixed-spaced guardrails or bottle-separating screws for guidance and separation. While this structure is simple, it is difficult to quickly adapt to bottles of different diameters in practical applications, resulting in poor equipment versatility. Changing products requires stopping the machine for cumbersome mechanical adjustments or even replacing parts, severely impacting production efficiency. Secondly, traditional filling equipment relies on conveyor belt friction or simple guiding bottle-scrambling methods, which easily leads to uneven bottle spacing, collisions, and even tipping, making it impossible for bottles to stop accurately under the filling head. Furthermore, the interception device at the filling station is often independent of the bottle-scrambling mechanism, relying on sensor signals for control, making it difficult to achieve precise and reliable synchronization, thus leading to inaccurate filling and liquid splashing.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bottle handling mechanism that can be flexibly adjusted and synchronize bottle separating and filling actions to fundamentally improve the efficiency and quality of the filling line. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable bottle unscrambling mechanism that can be flexibly adjusted and can realize the synchronization of bottle splitting and filling actions, as well as a liquid filling equipment containing the mechanism.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An adjustable bottle-sorting mechanism includes a frame and a conveyor belt mounted on the surface of the frame; a fixed baffle fixedly mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt and located on the side of the conveyor belt; an adjustment assembly fixedly mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt and located on the opposite side of the conveyor belt; a partition movably mounted on the surface of the frame and rotatably connected to the adjustment assembly; a stop block slidably disposed within the partition block and movably abutting against the bottle body; a bottle-sorting assembly mounted within the partition block for orderly arranging and conveying the accumulated bottle pile to the filling station; and a transmission assembly mounted on one side of the partition block for driving the bottle-sorting assembly and the stop block to move laterally within the partition block.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the adjusting assembly includes fixed plates symmetrically and fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt; rotating plates are fixed to the ends of the fixed plates; and partitions are rotatably connected between the rotating plates.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that: an clearance groove is provided on the surface of the partition; a bottle-sorting assembly is rotatably disposed through the bottom surface of the clearance groove; the bottle-sorting assembly includes a rotating shaft; and a star wheel adapted to the clearance groove is fixed on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that: a stop block is slidably disposed through the surface of the partition; an avoidance cavity is formed inside the stop block; a fixed shaft is fixed between the inner walls of the avoidance cavity; a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the circumferential side of the fixed shaft; and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a transmission assembly.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the transmission assembly includes a first transmission shaft rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the partition plate; a first bevel gear is fixed to the circumferential side of the transmission shaft; a second bevel gear that meshes with the first bevel gear is fixed to the end of the first transmission shaft; and a first gear is fixed to the other end of the first transmission shaft.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that a second transmission shaft is rotatably mounted on the surface of the partition; a second gear and a third gear are respectively fixed at both ends of the second transmission shaft; and the first gear meshes with the second gear.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a flexible track is installed inside the rotating plate; the running direction of the flexible track is opposite to that of the conveyor belt; and an adjustment knob is fixed at the connection between the fixing plate and the rotating plate.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that a filling head is fixedly mounted on the surface of the frame; the filling head is located on one side of the fixed baffle.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.

[0028] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-2 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Specifically, it refers to an adjustable bottle-sorting mechanism, including a frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the surface of the frame 1; a fixed baffle 3, fixedly mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt 2, located on the side of the conveyor belt 2; an adjusting component 4, fixedly mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt 2, located on the other opposite side of the conveyor belt 2; a partition 5, movably mounted on the surface of the frame 1, and rotatably connected to the adjusting component 4; a stop block 6, slidably disposed within the partition 5, and movably abutting against the bottle body; a bottle-sorting component 7, installed within the partition 5, used to orderly arrange and transport the accumulated bottle pile to the filling station; and a transmission component 8, installed on one side of the partition 5, used for the transmission connection between the bottle-sorting component 7 and the stop block 6, driving the stop block 6 to move laterally within the partition 5.

[0029] The adjustment assembly 4 includes a fixed plate 41 symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt 2; a rotating plate 42 is fixed to each end of the fixed plate 41; and a partition 5 is rotatably connected between the rotating plates 42.

[0030] The specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When handling bottles of different diameters, the operator can adjust the overall position of the partition 5 using the adjusting component 4. Rotating the rotating plate 42 around the fixed plate 41 causes the partition 5 to move closer to or further away from the fixed baffle 3, changing the width of the bottle-sorting channel to suit the width of the target bottle. This invention, by setting the adjusting component 4, makes the position of the entire partition 5 adjustable. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional bottle-sorting mechanisms that are difficult to adapt to different bottle shapes, and can quickly adapt to bottles of various diameters without stopping the machine to replace parts, significantly improving the equipment's versatility and production flexibility.

[0031] Example 2 Please see Figure 2-4 This embodiment two is an improvement on the first embodiment as follows: Specifically, the surface of the partition 5 is provided with an avoidance groove 9; a bottle sorting assembly 7 is rotatably disposed through the bottom surface of the avoidance groove 9; the bottle sorting assembly 7 includes a rotating shaft 71; a star wheel 72 adapted to the avoidance groove 9 is fixed on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 71.

[0032] A stop 6 is slidably disposed through the surface of the partition 5; an avoidance cavity 10 is provided inside the stop 6; a fixed shaft 11 is fixed between the inner walls of the avoidance cavity 10; a connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the periphery of the fixed shaft 11; the other end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the transmission assembly 8.

[0033] The transmission assembly 8 includes a first transmission shaft 81 rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the partition 5; a first bevel gear 73 is fixed to the circumferential side of the shaft 71; a second bevel gear 82 that meshes with the first bevel gear 73 is fixed to the end of the first transmission shaft 81; and the first gear 83 is fixed to the other end of the first transmission shaft 81.

[0034] The second drive shaft 84 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the partition 5; a second gear 85 and a third gear 86 are fixed at both ends of the second drive shaft 84 respectively; the first gear 83 meshes with the second gear 85.

[0035] A fourth gear 13 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the partition 5 on one side of the stop block 6; the fourth gear 13 meshes with the third gear 86; an eccentric shaft 14 is fixed at the eccentric part of the surface of the fourth gear 13; the eccentric shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 12.

[0036] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When a bottle enters the bottle-sorting station, the bottle body actuates the star wheel 72 to rotate. As the star wheel 72 rotates, it forms a channel with the fixed baffle 3, allowing only one bottle to pass at a time, thus achieving a uniform distribution of bottle spacing. Simultaneously, as the bottle passes the star wheel 72, the star wheel 72 drives the rotating shaft 71 to rotate; this, in turn, drives the first transmission shaft 81 to rotate via the first bevel gear 73 and the second bevel gear 82. Subsequently, the first gear 83 and the second gear 85 drive the second transmission shaft 84 to rotate, thereby causing the third gear 86 to rotate, which in turn drives the fourth gear 13 to rotate. Since the transmission ratio between the first gear 83 and the second gear 85 is 4, every 90-degree rotation of the star wheel 72 drives the fourth gear 13 to rotate 360 ​​degrees. During the rotation of the fourth gear 13, the eccentric shaft 14 drives the connecting rod 12 to rotate, thus causing the stop block 6 to perform reciprocating linear motion. This invention, through the linkage design of the bottle-sorting assembly 7 and the transmission assembly 8, links the continuous rotation of the star wheel 72 and the intermittent reciprocating motion of the stop block 6. It effectively solves the problems of uneven bottle spacing and collision tipping caused by traditional methods that rely on friction or simple guidance, ensuring the stability and accuracy of bottle separation.

[0037] Example 3 Please see Figure 1-2 This third embodiment is an improvement on the first embodiment as follows: Specifically, a flexible track 15 is installed inside the rotating plate 42; the running direction of the flexible track 15 is opposite to that of the conveyor belt 2; and an adjustment knob 16 is fixed at the connection between the fixed plate 41 and the rotating plate 42.

[0038] A filling head 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the frame 1; the filling head 17 is located on one side of the fixed baffle 3.

[0039] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When disordered bottles enter conveyor belt 2, they move along with it. To prevent bottles from being squeezed and collided at the bottle sorting station entrance, a flexible conveyor belt 15 is installed to provide a reverse force on the bottle body, thereby achieving the effect of guiding and aggregating the bottles. This embodiment, by setting a flexible conveyor belt 15 running in the opposite direction to conveyor belt 2, applies a reverse force to the bottles aggregating at the bottle sorting station entrance, effectively guiding the bottle group, avoiding squeezing, blockage, and collisions at the entrance, and ensuring that the bottles can smoothly and orderly enter the bottle sorting station, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent accurate bottle sorting and filling.
