Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of unloading equipment technology, and in particular to a bottle pushing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] After the sterilization tray containing the bottles is conveyed to the unloading station in the unloading equipment by the conveying mechanism, the guardrails on both sides of the sterilization tray will be lifted by the lifting mechanism, and the pusher mechanism on one side of the conveying mechanism will drive the pusher plate to push the bottles in the sterilization tray out for unloading. After unloading, the pusher mechanism needs to lift the pusher plate to avoid the sterilization tray and reset. However, the existing pusher mechanism has a relatively complex overall structure and high manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a bottle pushing mechanism with a simple overall structure, which can greatly reduce the overall manufacturing cost. The technical solution adopted is as follows: A bottle pushing mechanism includes a driving component and a bottle pushing component. The bottle pushing component and the driving component are connected by a driving plate. The driving component is used to drive the bottle pushing component to move along a first direction. The bottle pushing assembly includes a lifting assembly and several material transfer assemblies. The lifting assembly is connected to the drive plate and is used to drive the material transfer assemblies to move along a second direction. A connecting plate is provided between the material transfer assemblies and the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly has first guide components symmetrically arranged on both sides, and the first guide components are slidably connected to the drive plate and the connecting plate.

[0004] Preferably, it further includes a second guide component, which is arranged parallel to the drive component, and the drive plate connects the drive component and the second guide component; this can improve the stability of the bottle pushing component.

[0005] Preferably, the material transfer assembly is arranged along the first direction on one side of the connecting plate.

[0006] Preferably, the material transfer assembly includes a material transfer plate and a support base, the support base is connected to the connecting plate, the material transfer plate is slidably connected to the support base, and an elastic element is provided between the support base and the connecting plate.

[0007] More preferably, the support base is further provided with a detection component, which is used to detect the position of the transfer plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: 1) This application optimizes the structure of the bottle pushing assembly. The bottle pushing assembly only needs to use a single lifting assembly to lift the material transfer assembly. Its structure is simpler, which can greatly reduce the overall manufacturing cost and facilitate installation.

[0009] 2) The transfer assembly can flexibly push the bottle to move. Through the elastic element between the support base and the transfer plate, and in cooperation with the detection component, it can protect the bottle on the one hand to avoid excessive pushing force that could cause deformation or damage to the bottle, and on the other hand, it can also make up for the gap between the bottles to prevent the bottle from tipping over during the pushing process.

[0012] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0013] See Figures 1 to 2 To further elaborate on this application: A bottle pushing mechanism is used to unload bottles from a sterilization tray. It includes a driving component 10 and a bottle pushing component 30. The bottle pushing component 30 is connected to the driving component 10 by a driving plate 20. The driving component 10 is used to drive the bottle pushing component 30 to move along a first direction. The bottle can be a plastic bottle, an ampoule, etc.

[0014] The bottle-pushing assembly 30 includes a lifting assembly 40 and several material-transferring assemblies 50. The lifting assembly 40 is connected to the drive plate 20 and is used to drive the material-transferring assemblies 50 to move along a second direction. A connecting plate 60 connects the material-transferring assemblies 50 and the lifting assembly 40. First guide assemblies 80 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting assembly 40, and the first guide assemblies 80 are slidably connected to the drive plate 20 and the connecting plate 60. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 40 can be a cylinder. Compared with using two sets of cylinders to synchronously drive the material-transferring assemblies 50 to lift and lower, the structure of this application is simpler overall, and only a single lifting assembly 40 is needed to drive the material-transferring assemblies 50 to lift and lower, which can greatly reduce the overall manufacturing cost and is easier to install.

[0015] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 10 is a belt drive assembly 10; the drive assembly 10 includes a bracket, a motor, and a drive belt. The bracket has at least two pulleys, and the drive belt is fitted over the pulleys. The motor drives the pulleys to rotate the drive belt. A drive plate 20 is connected to the drive belt and is slidably connected to the bracket. In embodiments not shown, the drive assembly 10 can also be a lead screw mechanism, a cylinder, a rack and pinion mechanism, or other linear reciprocating mechanisms.

[0016] In this embodiment, a second guide component 70 is also included. The second guide component 70 is arranged parallel to the drive component 10. The drive plate 20 connects the drive component 10 and the second guide component 70. The second guide component 70 is used to support and guide the drive plate 20 to move. The second guide component 70 is a guide rail slider or linear bearing assembly, etc. The second guide component 70 can improve the working stability of the bottle pusher assembly 30.

[0017] The transfer components 50 are arranged on the same side of the connecting plate 60 along the first direction. The transfer components 50 are evenly distributed side by side on the connecting plate 60; each transfer component 50 corresponds to an array of bottles in the sterilization tray; the transfer components 50 do not interfere with each other.

[0018] When the drive assembly 10 drives the drive plate 20 to move the transfer assembly 50, the transfer assembly 50 can flexibly contact the bottle, which can protect the bottle and prevent it from being deformed or damaged. On the other hand, it can also fill the gap between the bottles and prevent the bottles from tipping over during the pushing process.

[0019] In this embodiment, the material transfer assembly 50 includes a material transfer plate 520 and a support base 510, wherein the material transfer plate 520 is disposed along a first direction on the front side of the support base 510. Figure 1(The middle part is on the right side). The support base 510 is connected to the connecting plate 60, and the transfer plate 520 is slidably connected to the support base 510. The transfer plate 520 can flexibly push the material bottle to move. The support base 510 is provided with a guide hole, and the transfer plate 520 is provided with a guide rod. The guide rod is disposed in the guide hole and slides along a first direction.

[0020] The aforementioned transfer plate 520 can flexibly push the material bottle to move; specifically, an elastic element 530 is provided between the transfer plate 520 and the support base 510; the elastic element 530 can be a spring; the two ends of the elastic element 530 respectively abut against the support base 510 and the transfer plate 520, and the elastic element 530 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod; when the transfer plate 520 contacts the material bottle, the transfer plate 520 will compress the corresponding elastic element 530 due to the resistance.

[0021] In this embodiment, the support base 510 is further provided with a detection component 540, which is used to detect the position of the transfer plate 520. The detection component 540 can be a proximity sensor. It detects the position of the transfer plate 520, i.e., the distance between them. When the detection component 540 detects that either transfer plate 520 has reached a preset position with the support base 510, the transfer plate 520 stops moving. This prevents excessive thrust from causing deformation or damage to the bottle, and also avoids damage to the drive assembly 10 due to overload.

[0022] Compared to a fixed structure, the material transfer assembly 50 described in this application can flexibly push the bottle to move. Through the elastic element 530 between the support base 510 and the material transfer plate 520, in conjunction with the detection component 540, the bottle can be protected to prevent deformation or damage. On the other hand, it can also fill the gap between the bottles to prevent the bottles from tipping over during the pushing process.
