Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, and in particular to a single-channel dynamic buffer platform. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle conveying is a crucial step in the production of bottled water or other bottled products. With increasing automation in production, the equipment on the production line needs to be efficient, stable, and flexible to adapt to different production demands.

[0003] In related technologies, the conveying process of beverage bottles relies entirely on conveyor belt systems. While this method ensures continuous flow and efficient transport of bottles, it inevitably has some significant drawbacks. First, the conveyor belt itself requires a large space, which limits the flexibility of production workshop layout and makes available space relatively scarce. Second, due to its structure and materials, conveyor belt equipment is often quite bulky, increasing the difficulty of installation and maintenance, and potentially placing higher demands on the workshop's load-bearing structure, thus increasing overall production costs and operational burden. Therefore, although conveyor belts play an irreplaceable role in beverage bottle transport, their space occupation and bulky nature still require sufficient attention and improvement.

[0005] The single-channel dynamic buffer platform provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A single-track dynamic buffer platform includes multiple conveying platforms and multiple U-shaped conveying tracks respectively set on the conveying platforms. Two adjacent U-shaped conveying tracks are connected by a flexible conveyor belt. Two arc-shaped guide plates are set on the flexible conveyor belt. Both arc-shaped guide plates are fixedly connected to the conveying platforms. A material guiding mechanism connected to the inlet end of the U-shaped conveying track is installed on the conveying platform.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0019] This utility model discloses a single-channel dynamic buffer platform. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes multiple conveying platforms 1 and multiple U-shaped conveying tracks 2 respectively set on the conveying platforms 1. Adjacent U-shaped conveying tracks 2 are connected by a flexible conveyor belt 3. The flexible conveyor belt 3 is equipped with two arc-shaped guide plates 31, both of which are fixedly connected to the conveying platforms 1. The two arc-shaped guide plates 31 can guide the beverage bottles. The conveying platform 1 is equipped with a guiding mechanism 4 connected to the inlet end of the U-shaped conveying track 2. The U-shaped conveying track 2 includes two straight tracks and a reversing frame. The inlet end and outlet end of the reversing frame are respectively connected to the two straight tracks. When it is necessary to convey beverage bottles, the beverage bottles first enter the guiding mechanism 4 from the previous process, and then enter the U-shaped conveying track 2 through the guiding mechanism 4. Multiple U-shaped conveying tracks 2 and flexible conveyor belts 3 are used in conjunction to form a serpentine track, which can store more beverage bottles while occupying less space, thus solving the problem of low space utilization of conveying equipment.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The reversing frame includes a base plate 21 slidably mounted on the conveying platform 1. A first arc plate 22 and a second arc plate 23 for conveying beverage bottles are fixedly connected to the base plate 21. A limiting mechanism 5 for limiting the base plate 21 is installed on the base plate 21. When the limiting mechanism 5 is released from limiting the base plate 21, the base plate 21 is moved. The base plate 21 drives the first arc plate 22 and the second arc plate 23 to move, thereby increasing the storage space of the U-shaped conveying track 2 and preventing beverage bottles from accumulating.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The limiting mechanism 5 includes a limiting rod 51 that passes through the base plate 21. The conveying platform 1 has multiple limiting slots for the limiting rod 51 to be inserted. By moving the limiting rod 51 so that it is pulled out of the limiting slot, the limiting of the base plate 21 can be released.

[0022] A pull plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod 51, and a limiting spring 53 is fixedly connected between the pull plate 52 and the base plate 21. The limiting spring 53 provides a continuous force to the limiting rod 51, which improves the stability of the limiting rod 51 in limiting the base plate 21.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple limiting guide rollers 24 are rotatably mounted on the second arc plate 23, and the multiple limiting guide rollers 24 are evenly distributed along the extension direction of the second arc plate 23. When the beverage bottle passes through the second arc plate 23, the limiting guide rollers 24 guide the beverage bottle and reduce the friction between the second arc plate 23 and the beverage bottle.

[0024] The linear track includes two first guide plates 25 and two second guide plates 26. The two first guide plates 25 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two second guide plates 26 are arranged opposite to each other. The two second guide plates 26 are respectively inserted into the first guide plates 25. The two first guide plates 25 are fixedly connected to the conveying platform 1, and the two second guide plates 26 are respectively fixedly connected to the first arc plate 22 and the second arc plate 23. During the movement of the first arc plate 22 and the second arc plate 23, the first arc plate 22 and the second arc plate 23 respectively drive the two first guide plates 25 to move, so that the linear track is extended, thereby limiting the beverage bottle.

[0025] Guide plates 27 are fixedly connected to both ends of the base plate 21, and guide slopes for beverage bottles to pass through are formed on both guide plates 27.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guiding mechanism 4 includes a guiding platform 41 fixedly connected to the conveying platform 1. Multiple guiding rollers 42 are rotatably mounted on the guiding platform 41. The multiple guiding rollers 42 are evenly distributed on both sides of the top of the guiding platform 41. A guiding conveyor belt 43 connected to the guiding rollers 42 is provided on both sides of the top of the guiding platform 41. Two guiding motors 44 are fixedly connected to the guiding platform 41. The output shafts of the two guiding motors 44 are fixedly connected to the guiding rollers 42 respectively. When the guiding motors 44 are started, the guiding motors 44 drive the guiding rollers 42 to rotate. The guiding rollers 42 drive the guiding conveyor belt 43 to rotate. The guiding conveyor belt 43 transports the beverage bottles.

[0027] The implementation principle of a single-track dynamic buffer platform according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: When beverage bottles need to be conveyed, the beverage bottles first enter the guide table 41 from the previous process, and then the guide motor 44 is started. The guide motor 44 drives the guide roller 42 to rotate, and the guide roller 42 drives the guide conveyor belt 43 to rotate. The guide conveyor belt 43 conveys the beverage bottles, so that the beverage bottles enter the straight track. Then, the beverage bottles are turned by the reversing frame and enter the flexible conveyor belt 3. Multiple U-shaped conveying tracks 2 and flexible conveyor belt 3 are used together to form a serpentine track, which can store more beverage bottles and occupy less space, thus solving the problem of low space utilization of conveying equipment.

[0028] Move the limiting rod 51 so that it is pulled out of the limiting groove, and then move the base plate 21. The base plate 21 drives the first arc plate 22 and the second arc plate 23 to move, thereby increasing the storage space of the U-shaped conveyor track 2 and preventing beverage bottles from piling up.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
