Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and in particular to a directional conveyor for beverage bottle production. Background Technology

[0002] In beverage production, bottles undergo multiple automated processes, including bottle blowing, filling, capping, labeling, coding, and packing. Each process has strict requirements for bottle orientation and positioning. For example, labeling machines must ensure the label is accurately aligned with the labeling head, filling machines require the bottle neck to be vertically upward, and coding equipment requires the bottle to pass stably through the coding area. Therefore, during the inter-process transport, it is crucial to ensure that beverage bottles enter the next machine smoothly and in a uniform and correct posture. Traditional transport methods commonly use ordinary belt conveyors or roller conveyors. During transport, bottles are prone to free rotation, tilting, or even tipping due to vibration, uneven friction, or airflow. This makes it difficult for subsequent equipment to accurately identify or handle the bottles, often requiring manual intervention for directional adjustment. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases labor intensity and costs. Although some production lines have attempted to use mechanical structures such as fixed baffles, guide forks, or limit bars for orientation, these devices are structurally simple, difficult to adjust, and unsuitable for multi-variety, small-batch production. Furthermore, they require machine stoppage for adjustment when changing bottle types, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and lacks versatility.

[0003] In existing technologies, devices for directional bottle conveying generally suffer from insufficient adaptability. For example, some devices use conveyor belts with fixed spacing or rigid grooves, which are only suitable for a single bottle size. When the bottle diameter or height is changed, the entire conveying assembly must be replaced, resulting in long changeover times and high costs. On the other hand, some adjustable structures lack a synchronous adjustment mechanism, and the movement of the clamping components on both sides is not synchronized, which can easily cause bottle clamping eccentricity, uneven force, and thus lead to bottle jamming, bottle scratches, or even conveying interruption.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a convenient and easy-to-adjust directional conveyor for beverage bottle production. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing devices, such as difficulty in changing models, asynchronous adjustment, and poor adaptability, this utility model provides a directional conveyor for beverage bottle production.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a directional conveyor for beverage bottle production, including a body, a conveyor belt, a second motor, a connecting frame, a slider, a bidirectional threaded rod, and a guide rod. The body has symmetrically opened grooves, and sliders are symmetrically and slidably installed in the grooves. A connecting frame is installed on the slider, and a second motor is installed on the connecting frame. A conveyor belt is installed on the second motor on the same side. Bidirectional threaded rods are rotatably installed at both ends of the body. Guide rods are symmetrically installed on the body. The connecting frame is threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod, and the connecting frame is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes card plates, with several card plates evenly spaced on the conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a limiting turntable, a bottle body, a rotating shaft, a motor and a motor shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed on one side of the machine body, and the limiting turntable is movably installed on the rotating shaft. Several bottles are movably clamped in the limiting turntable. The motor is installed on the machine body, and the motor shaft is connected to the motor and the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a knob, with a knob provided at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod.

[0010] Preferably, the card plate matches the curvature of the bottle body.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting turntable has several placement slots that fit the bottle body and a sliding slot in a circular shape.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention uses a rotating bidirectional threaded rod to drive the connecting frame to move synchronously along the guide rod and slide groove, adjusts the conveyor belt spacing, and uses an arc-shaped clamping plate to adaptably clamp and fix the beverage bottle, thereby achieving rapid adaptation and stable clamping of beverage bottles of different specifications, and achieving efficient, continuous, and directional conveying.

[0013] This invention places the bottle in the placement slot of the limiting turntable, and drives the turntable to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force and gravity, the bottle slides out of the slot and falls into the conveyor belt in an orderly manner and is positioned by the arc-shaped clamping plate, realizing continuous and directional feeding of the bottle and achieving efficient, stable and automated conveying.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: A directional conveyor for beverage bottle production, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a body 1, a conveyor belt 6, a second motor 7, a clamping plate 8, a connecting frame 9, a slider 91, a bidirectional threaded rod 10, and a guide rod 12. The body 1 has sliding grooves 101 on both sides, with sliders 91 slidably mounted within each groove. A connecting frame 9 is mounted on each slider 91, and a second motor 7 is installed on each connecting frame 9. The two second motors 7 on the front side jointly drive one conveyor belt 6, while the two second motors 7 on the rear side drive the other conveyor belt 6, forming a symmetrical double-belt conveying structure. Multiple clamping plates 8 are evenly spaced on the two conveyor belts 6. The inner contour of the clamping plates 8 matches the outer curvature of the beverage bottle, enabling precise positioning and clamping of the bottle during transport, preventing deviation, rotation, or tipping, and ensuring conveying stability. The body 1 has rotatably mounted bidirectional threaded rods 10 at both ends, and guide rods 12 are installed at both ends. The middle of the connecting frame 9 is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional threaded rod 10, and the lower part of the connecting frame 9 is slidably connected to the guide rod 12.

[0020] When it is necessary to adapt to beverage bottles of different specifications, the bidirectional threaded rod 10 can be rotated to drive the connecting frames 9 on both sides to move synchronously towards the center or to both sides. At the same time, the slider 91 on it moves under the guidance of the slide groove 101, thereby accurately adjusting the distance between the two conveyor belts 6 and realizing the quick clamping and positioning of different bottle diameters 3. During the movement, the lower part of the connecting frame 9 slides along the guide rod 12, which more effectively prevents deflection or shaking caused by threaded transmission and ensures that the adjustment process is stable and symmetrical. After the adjustment is completed, the beverage bottles are orderly fed into the conveyor belts 6 and are clamped and fixed by the equally distributed clamping plates 8. The inner wall curvature of the clamping plate 8 matches the shape of the bottle 3 to prevent deviation or tipping during the conveying process. Then, the motor 7 starts and drives the conveyor belts 6 to run, stably conveying the accurately positioned beverage bottles to the next process, realizing efficient, continuous and directional automated production.

[0021] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it also includes a limiting turntable 2, a bottle body 3, a rotating shaft 4, a motor 5, a motor shaft 51, and a knob 11. The rotating shaft 4 is rotatably mounted on the left side of the machine body 1. The limiting turntable 2 is detachably mounted on the rotating shaft 4. The limiting turntable 2 has a ring structure with six placement slots that fit the shape of the bottle body 3 evenly in the circumference, as well as a sliding slot for discharging. The operator can insert the bottle body 3 into the placement slot one by one for pre-storage. The motor 5 is installed on the lower left side of the machine body 1. The bottom of the motor 5 is connected to the motor shaft 51. The top of the motor shaft 51 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 4, thereby driving the limiting turntable 2 to rotate. When the placement slot containing the bottle body 3 rotates to the sliding slot position, under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity, the bottle body 3 automatically slides out and accurately falls between the two conveyor belts 6, and is fixed by the clamping plate 8, completing the directional feeding. The front end of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 is provided with a knob 11, which is convenient for rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 10 for adjustment.

[0022] When directional feeding of bottles 3 is required, the operator can insert the beverage bottles to be conveyed one by one into the placement slots that match the shape of the bottles 3 in the circumferential direction of the limiting turntable 2. Then, the motor 5 starts, driving the motor shaft 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the connected rotating shaft 4 and the limiting turntable 2 to rotate synchronously. As the limiting turntable 2 rotates, the placement slot containing the bottles 3 gradually moves to the side closer to the conveyor belt 6. When the placement slot rotates to the sliding slot position, under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity, the bottles 3 slide out smoothly from the sliding slot and fall accurately between the two conveyor belts 6. At this time, the bottles 3 are clamped and fixed by the equally spaced clamping plates 8, realizing automatic positioning and orientation. This feeding method has a compact structure and runs smoothly, which can realize the continuous, orderly and directional supply of bottles 3, effectively improve the conveying efficiency and automation level, reduce manual intervention, and is suitable for the stable operation of high-speed production lines.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
