AI Technical Summary
Existing bottle-splitting devices suffer from frequent bottle jamming, mis-entry of double-plate products, poor adaptability, and high maintenance costs. In particular, when the conveying speed fluctuates or the product spacing is uneven, it can easily lead to the first plate of products not being split, the slitting machine blade getting stuck, the bottle body being cut, or even the slitting machine getting misaligned.
The motion control system, which combines rollers and servo motors, controls the movement of the bottles through the friction of the rollers. Combined with guide grooves and clamp detection devices, it precisely controls the passage and cutting of the bottles, preventing multiple bottles from entering the cutting track at the same time.
It improves the accuracy and stability of the bottle-separating process, reduces equipment failure rate, reduces maintenance costs, and increases production efficiency and the ability to adapt to different product specifications.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle-separating device technology, specifically to an automatic bottle-separating device suitable for reciprocating BFS (Bottle Separator). Background Technology
[0002] Reciprocating BFS (blow-fill-seal) machines are commonly used aseptic filling equipment in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and beverage industries. Their core processes include product blowing, filling, sealing, punching, and slitting. After punching, the product is transferred to a conveyor belt via suction cups, its direction is adjusted, and it enters the slitting track. A bottle-separating mechanism controls the individual boards to enter the slitting station, where the slitting machine finally completes the cutting.
[0003] In existing technologies, bottle-separating mechanisms mostly adopt a structure of "stainless steel bracket + mechanical limit": such as Figure 1 As shown, a movable limiting wire is installed on the stainless steel support. This wire controls the stationary and moving positions of the bottles. When the limiting wire rises, it creates a channel for the bottles to pass through. It is possible that two bottles may pass through this channel simultaneously and end up on the slitting track. The bottle-slitting mechanism guides the products through the limiting grooves or baffles of the fixed support, and uses the clamps (mechanical stops) at the end of the slitting track in conjunction with the intermittent movement of the conveyor belt to achieve bottle separation. The bottle-slitting device in the prior art has the following drawbacks: 1. Frequent bottle jamming: The stainless steel bracket is a rigid limiter with low matching degree with the outer contour of the product. Due to the vibration of the product during transportation or the positional deviation, the product is prone to interfere with the bracket, resulting in jamming or even equipment shutdown. 2. Double-board products mistakenly enter: The support only restricts the passage of single-board products by physical size. When the conveyor speed fluctuates or the product spacing is uneven, two boards of products are easily squeezed into the slitting track at the same time, resulting in the first board of products not being slitted, the slitting machine blade getting stuck, the bottle body being cut, or even the slitting machine getting misaligned. 3. Poor adaptability: Different product specifications (such as 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml, differences in diameter and height) require manual replacement of the bracket, which takes time to adjust (approximately 30-60 minutes per instance), seriously affecting production efficiency; 4. High maintenance costs: Rigid collisions can easily damage the bracket or product, requiring frequent replacement of parts and increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic bottle-splitting device suitable for reciprocating BFS, in order to solve the problem that in the prior art, the support only restricts the passage of single-plate products by physical size. When the conveying speed fluctuates or the product spacing is uneven, two plates of products are easily squeezed into the slitting track at the same time, resulting in the first plate of products not being slitted, the slitting machine cutter jamming, bottle body being cut, or even the slitting machine being misaligned.
[0005] An automatic bottle-splitting device suitable for reciprocating BFS includes a first support, a first conveyor belt mounted on the first support, a first guide plate provided at one end of the first support, and the first conveyor belt for conveying several bottles connected side by side to the first guide plate. The first bracket has mounting brackets on both sides. A rotating shaft located above the first conveyor belt is rotatably connected to the mounting brackets on both sides of the first bracket. Rollers are mounted on the rotating shaft. A servo motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is set on the mounting bracket on one side of the first bracket. The rotating shaft is used to drive the roller to rotate. When the roller is stationary, it can prevent the bottle from moving towards the guide plate. When the roller rotates, it drives the roller to move towards the guide plate through friction.
[0006] Furthermore, the output shaft and the rotating shaft at the top of the servo motor are driven by bevel gears.
[0007] Furthermore, the guide plate is provided with a guide groove.
[0008] Furthermore, a second support is provided on the side of the guide plate opposite to the first support, and a slitting track conveyor belt is provided on the second support. The slitting track conveyor belt is provided with clips, and the guide plate is used to guide the bottle onto the slitting track conveyor belt.
[0009] Furthermore, a slitting device is provided on the slitting conveyor belt, which is used to slit the bottle body.
[0010] Furthermore, the first bracket is equipped with a bottle detection device, and the second bracket is equipped with a clip detection switch; the bottle detection device is used to detect whether there is a bottle in front of the roller, and the clip detection switch is used to detect whether a clip has passed by; when the bottle detection device and the clip detection switch are turned on at the same time, the servo motor starts.
[0011] Beneficial effects: The moving mechanism can drive the mounting frame to move quickly. The electric hoists set at the four corners of the mounting frame can fix the plates, preventing changes in the relative positions of the plates and ensuring that the position of the plates is controllable. When placing the plates, the position of the mounting frame can be precisely adjusted by simply moving the mechanism, and then the plates are placed by the electric hoists.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. For ease of explanation, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "bottom", etc., used in this specification indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0016] It should be noted that the embodiments and features involved in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other without conflict. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0017] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 An automatic bottle-splitting device suitable for reciprocating BFS is shown, including a first support 202, a first conveyor belt 201 mounted on the first support 202, a first guide plate 206 provided at one end of the first support 202, and the first conveyor belt 201 for conveying several bottles connected side by side to the first guide plate 206. The first support 202 has mounting brackets 203 on both sides. A rotating shaft located above the first conveyor belt 201 is rotatably connected to the mounting brackets 203 on both sides of the first support 202. Rollers 205 are mounted on the rotating shaft. A servo motor 204 for driving the rotating shaft is provided on the mounting bracket 203 on one side of the first support 202. The rotating shaft is used to drive the rollers 205 to rotate. When the rollers 205 are stationary, they can prevent the bottle from moving towards the guide plate 206. When the rollers 205 rotate, they are driven to move towards the guide plate 206 through friction.
[0018] In this embodiment, the bottle's stationary and moving functions are controlled by the roller 205. Compared to the limiting wire 102 in the prior art, this method provides more precise control over the bottle's movement. The limiting wire 102 moves up and down, opening and closing the channel through which the bottle can pass to control its stationary and moving functions. In contrast, the roller 205 directly controls whether the bottle can move by friction. The distance between the roller 205 and the first conveyor belt 201 allows only a single bottle to pass through. The distance the roller 205 rotates can precisely control whether and how many bottles pass through, reducing the possibility of two bottles appearing on the slitting track simultaneously due to the limiting wire 102 not returning to its original position in time. This avoids problems such as the first batch of products not being slitted, the slitting machine blade jamming, bottle damage, and even misalignment of the slitting machine.
[0019] The output shaft and rotating shaft at the top of the servo motor 204 are driven by bevel gears.
[0020] In this embodiment, the transmission direction can be changed by using bevel gears, thereby reducing the space occupied by the product and shrinking its size. The specific installation method of the bevel gears is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] The guide plate 206 is provided with a guide groove.
[0022] In this embodiment, the guide groove is used to guide the bottle body and prevent it from moving outward.
[0023] A second support is provided on the side of the guide plate 206 away from the first support 202. A slitting track conveyor belt is provided on the second support. A clamp 210 is provided on the slitting track conveyor belt. The guide plate 206 is used to guide the bottle onto the slitting track conveyor belt.
[0024] In this embodiment, the clip 210 is used to separate the bottles and also to control the distance between two adjacent bottles.
[0025] A slitting device 212 is installed on the slitting conveyor belt, which is used to slit the bottle body.
[0026] In this embodiment, the slitting device 212 is a prior art technology.
[0027] A bottle detection device 207 is installed on the first bracket 202, and a clip 210 detection switch is installed on the second bracket. The bottle detection device 207 is used to detect whether there is a bottle in front of the roller 205, and the clip 210 detection switch is used to detect whether the clip 210 has passed by. When the bottle detection device 207 and the clip 210 detection switch are turned on at the same time, the servo motor 204 is started.
[0028] In this embodiment, the bottle detection device 207 is a fiber optic detection device in the prior art, and the clip 210 detection switch is a proximity switch in the prior art. By setting the bottle detection device 207 and the clip 210 detection switch, the rotation of the roller 205 can be easily controlled, making operation convenient.
[0029] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include such modifications and modifications.
