Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass production equipment, and in particular to an auxiliary device for cleaning a bottle-turning star wheel. Background Technology

[0002] A bottle-shifting star wheel is a bottle-shifting mechanism on rotary equipment (including inspection equipment and bottle-splitting equipment) in a daily-use glass bottle and jar production line. It is suitable for intermittently delivering and moving glass bottles and jars of various sizes around the equipment's rotation center. As the equipment operates, some oil inevitably adheres to the bottle-shifting star wheel. During the bottle-shifting process, this oil transfers to the glass bottles and jars, leaving noticeable star wheel marks and affecting product quality. Therefore, the bottle-shifting star wheel needs to be replaced frequently. The replaced star wheel can be reused after being wiped clean.

[0003] Currently, cleaning the bottle-dispensing star wheel mainly relies on manual cleaning by wiping each bottle-contacting roller on the star wheel with a hand-held cleaning cloth. This cleaning method has the problems of low efficiency, poor effect, and high labor intensity.

[0004] Based on this, this application provides an auxiliary device for cleaning bottle-dispensing star wheels that provides good cleaning effect, improves cleaning efficiency, and reduces labor intensity to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1

[0030] As attached Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an auxiliary device for cleaning a bottle-dispensing star wheel, including a cleaning table 1, a rotating seat 2 disposed on the cleaning table for placing the bottle-dispensing star wheel 10, a driving mechanism 3 disposed on one side of the rotating seat for driving the bottle-touching rollers 10.2 on both sides of the bottle-dispensing groove 10.1 on the bottle-dispensing star wheel 10, a bracket assembly 4 for fixing the driving mechanism, and a transverse guide rail 5 for fixing the bracket assembly. The bracket assembly 4 can move laterally on the transverse guide rail 5 to make the driving mechanism 3 approach / move away from the bottle-dispensing groove 10.1.

[0031] Preferred options are listed below. Figure 2 As shown, the rotating seat 2 in this embodiment includes a fixed shaft 2.1 and a seat body 2.3 rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft via a ball bearing 2.2. The seat body 2.3 is provided with a boss 2.3.1 that matches the inner ring of the bottle-dispensing star wheel 10. The boss 2.3.1 is provided with a guide slope to facilitate the bottle-dispensing star wheel entering the seat body.

[0032] Preferred options are listed below. Figure 1 As shown, the driving mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a driving roller 3.1, a servo motor 3.2, and a motor base 3.3. The driving roller 3.1 is rotatably mounted on the bracket assembly 4 via bearings. In this embodiment, the driving roller is preferably a rubber wheel, because the surface of the rubber wheel has a certain elasticity, which can better transmit power to the bottle-contacting roller. The servo motor 3.2 is fixedly mounted on the bracket assembly 4 via the motor base 3.3, and the output shaft of the servo motor 3.2 is connected to the driving roller 3.1 via a coupling.

[0033] Preferred options are listed below. Figure 3 As shown, the bracket assembly 4 in this embodiment includes an L-shaped plate 4.1 fixed to a slider on the transverse guide rail 5, a guide rod 4.2 vertically mounted on the L-shaped plate, a sleeve 4.3 movably mounted on the guide rod, and a transverse mounting plate 4.4 mounted on the sleeve. The end of the transverse mounting plate 4.4 away from the drive mechanism 3 extends to the side plate of the L-shaped plate. This design, in conjunction with the guide rod, enables the adjustment of the height of the transverse mounting plate. The sleeve 4.3 is provided with a locking screw for fixing the adjusted transverse mounting plate. Furthermore, the side plate of the L-shaped plate 4.1 is provided with a handle 4.5 for easy pushing and pulling of the bracket assembly, allowing it to move left and right along the transverse guide rail, thereby controlling the drive mechanism to move closer to / away from the bottle-dispensing slot of the bottle-dispensing star wheel.

[0034] Preferably, the transverse guide rail 5 is provided with a first limiting plate 5.1 and a second limiting plate 5.2 at both ends to prevent the slider from sliding out of the guide rail.

[0035] In practice, first place the bottle-dispatching star wheel on the rotating base, then rotate the star wheel to align its dispatching slot with the drive mechanism, and then push the bracket assembly closer to the dispatching slot so that the drive roller contacts the bottle-touching rollers on both sides of the dispatching slot, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 As shown, the servo motor is started, causing the drive roller to drive the bottle-touching roller to rotate. The operator uses their other hand to take a cleaning cloth and place it on the bottle-touching roller to clean the bottle-touching roller in the bottle-dispensing slot. Then, the bracket assembly is moved to the right to push it out of the bottle-dispensing slot. The bottle-dispensing star wheel is then rotated to align the next bottle-dispensing slot with the drive mechanism. This process is repeated until all bottle-touching rollers are cleaned.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further provides a spring shaft 6 that penetrates the second limiting plate 5.2 on the side plate of the L-shaped plate 4.1. A spring 7 is sleeved on the spring shaft 6, and the two ends of the spring 7 abut against the side plate of the L-shaped plate 4.1 and the second limiting plate 5.2, respectively. This design utilizes the elastic force provided by the spring to ensure that the drive roller and the bottle-contacting roller are tightly fitted together, so that during the cleaning process, it is not necessary to hold the bracket assembly with your hand to ensure good contact between the drive roller and the bottle-contacting roller.

[0038] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
