Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance external force for discharging filling bottles to discharge the falling bottles more reliably by forming a falling bottle discharge port in a path of an arc-shaped transfer groove formed above an outer peripheral bottom rim of a rotary disk and on an outer side in a diameter direction of the rotary disk and by discharging the falling bottle toward the falling bottle discharge port by centrifugal force of the rotary disk. SOLUTION: Successive bottles are transferred from a circular turn table of a bottle arranging device 3 to a rotating rotary disk 13 and transferred along an arc of an arc-shaped transfer groove of an outer guide 12 while being supported on lower parts by an outer peripheral bottom rim of the rotary disk. At this time centrifugal force functions to the bottles on the rotary disk 13, so that the bottles move while being supported in slide contact by an arcuate inner peripheral guide rim. A standing bottle 1a is transferred to a second conveyer 20 and carried to a chemical filling process. However, since a falling bottle 1b is not supported by the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide rim of the outer guide 12, it is forcibly discharged outward from a falling bottle discharge port by the centrifugal force and received in a collection container 18.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an inverted bottle removing apparatus for removing an overturned bottle when the bottle is transported in a bottling step of contents, and a method of operating the same. More specifically, when a bottle such as a glass bottle, cans, or a plastic container is transported in a step of filling the contents such as a liquid or a solid state, an inverted bottle removing apparatus for removing a fallen bottle and an operation method thereof About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a process of filling a chemical bottle into a chemical solution, when a vertical medicine bottle (hereinafter, referred to as a vertical bottle) is transported by a conveyor or the like, the vertical bottle may fall over for some reason. In some cases, the fallen medicine bottles (hereinafter, referred to as fallen bottles) are clogged in the transfer device and stop the production line. Conventionally, in order to prevent this, as shown in FIG. 1, a falling bottle removing device 11 for removing the falling bottle 1b is provided in the middle of the second conveyor 20. The inverted bottle removing device 11 includes a pair of outer guides 12 and inner guides 14 facing each other, and the second conveyor 20 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between them. Outer guide 12 and inner guide 14
Are inner guide side surfaces 14c for supporting the bottle 1, respectively.
And an outer guide side surface 12c, and form an inverted bottle removing path 15c bent in a "<" shape. In addition, on the side surface of the outer guide 12, an inverted bottle outlet (not shown) having a size that allows the inverted bottle 1b to pass is provided. In the inverted bottle removal path 15c bent in the shape of a “<”, a part of the second conveyor 20 protrudes in the width direction near the bent vertex. The standing bottle 1a and the falling bottle 1b lined up on the second conveyor 20 are lined with the falling bottle removing path 15c of the falling bottle removing device 11.
When the bottle 1 is conveyed to the vicinity of the apex, a pushing force acts on the bottle 1 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. At this time, the falling bottle 1b falls down sideways from the falling bottle discharge port because the contact area with the second conveyor 20 is reduced and the outer guide 12 is not supported. On the other hand, the standing bottle 1a is transported to the next step while being supported by the outer guide side surface 12a.

However, the conventional inverted bottle removing device shown in FIG. 1 has the following problems. That is, the second
The bottles 1 arranged in a row on the conveyor 20 are in a state where the standing bottle 1a and the inverted bottle 1b are densely packed and pressed against each other. In the inverted bottle removal path 15c bent in the shape of a "ku", the inverted bottle discharging force for pushing out the bottle is weak, so it is difficult to reliably discharge the inverted bottles 1b arranged in a pressed state. Until the standing bottle 1a passes through the bent vertex of the inverted bottle removing path 15c, the outer guide 12 and the inner guide 14 act as a resistance, and the bottle 1 is densely clogged. Bottle 1
It is transported with a gap between a. The standing bottles 1a having a gap become unstable because they cannot support each other, so that the standing bottles 1a fall over. Further, when the inverted bottle 1b is discharged by the inverted bottle removing device 11, a gap is formed at the discharged position, and for the same reason as described above, the standing bottle 1b is discharged.
a becomes easy to fall.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to increase the external force for discharging the inverted bottle and more reliably discharge the inverted bottle in this type of inverted bottle removing device. is there.

Another problem to be solved is to prevent the standing bottle from falling over, in addition to the above problems.

Further, another problem to be solved is to realize the above two problems with a simple configuration.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems and Functions / Effects The present invention focuses on using a rotating disk as a bottle conveying means and utilizing a centrifugal force due to the rotation as a falling bottle discharging force.
It was completed.

[0008] That is, the inverted bottle removing device according to the present invention comprises:
An arc-shaped conveyance groove is formed above the outer peripheral bottom edge of the rotating disk, and a falling bottle discharge port is formed in the path of the arc-shaped conveyance groove and radially outside of the rotating disk, thereby forming an arc-shaped conveyance. The vertical bottle coming into the entrance of the groove is conveyed by the rotating disk to the outlet while slidingly supported by the outer wall of the arc-shaped conveying groove, and the inverted bottle is sent to the inverted bottle outlet by the centrifugal force of the rotating disk. The basic feature is that it is released toward the body.

More specifically, in this apparatus, the rotary disk, the inner guide, and the outer guide form an arc-shaped conveying groove for conveying and guiding the bottles in a line, and only the inverted bottle is provided on the outer guide side. It has an inverted bottle outlet for discharging to the outside. The rotating disk has an outer peripheral bottom edge that forms a moving bottom that conveys and supports the bottle from below along the arc of the arc-shaped conveyance groove. The inner guide has an arc-shaped outer peripheral guide edge that forms an inner portion of the arc-shaped conveyance groove. The outer guide has an arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge that forms an outer portion of the arc-shaped conveyance groove. The inverted bottle outlet is formed between the entrance and the exit of the arc-shaped conveyance groove and between the outer guide and the rotating disk. The upper portion of the inverted bottle outlet of the outer guide is configured to slidably support the upper portion of the standing bottle conveyed on the rotating disk.

In the above arrangement, when the bottles are sequentially carried in a line at the entrance of the arc-shaped conveyance groove, the bottles are received by the outer peripheral bottom edge of the rotating rotating disk and are directed toward the exit. Sent. Since the rotating disk is rotating, a centrifugal force acts on the bottle that is carried in. At this time, the standing bottle has its bottom supported by the outer peripheral bottom edge of the rotating disk, and its upper peripheral surface is supported by the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge of the outer guide. The bottles are pressed against the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge, and move in a state in which the bottles adjacent to each other in front and back mutually support each other. On the other hand, the inverted bottle moves on the outer peripheral bottom edge of the rotating disk, but is not supported by the arcuate inner guide edge of the outer guide at the inverted bottle outlet, so the centrifugal force makes the inverted bottle outlet vigorously. Released toward (falls down).

It is preferable that the rotating shaft of the rotating disk is inclined downward toward the outer guide.

With this configuration, a force acts on the bottle on the rotating disk to slide down toward the outer guide. As a result, since a sliding force acts on the bottle in addition to the centrifugal force, the inverted bottle is more easily rolled down and removed in the direction of action of the centrifugal force.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating disk is positioned such that the outer periphery of the outer peripheral bottom edge portion is located in the middle of the arc-shaped conveying groove in the width direction of the arc-shaped conveying groove, and a part of the bottom surface of the standing bottle is rotated. It is supported from below by a plate.

The rotating disk having the above structure means that the support area of the bottle bottom in the arc-shaped conveyance groove is small. Therefore, as a matter of course, the inverted bottle easily falls down toward the inverted bottle outlet, and the inverted bottle is reliably removed. On the other hand, the standing bottle is not supported on the entire bottom surface by the rotating disk, but is supported only on a part thereof. However,
The upper outer periphery is strongly pressed against the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge of the outer guide by the action of centrifugal force, and the adjacent bottles before and after are supported by each other, so that the bottle has a stable posture and does not easily fall down. .

The apparatus having the above configuration can remove almost 100% of the inverted bottle if the operating conditions are satisfied. However, measures for the case where the inverted bottle is not removed for some reason are actually required. For this reason, it is preferable to provide a block means on the outer guide at the outlet of the arc-shaped conveyance groove to prevent the falling bottle that has not been discharged from the falling bottle discharge port from advancing.
When the falling bottle is blocked by this blocking means, the operator will manually remove it individually.

Further, the apparatus having the above configuration is preferably operated such that the peripheral speed of the outer peripheral bottom edge of the rotating disk is faster than the carry-in speed and carry-out speed of the bottle, that is, the carry speed of the carry line.

According to this operation, even if the standing bottle becomes unstable as a result of a gap formed after removing the inverted bottle and the bottles are no longer supported by each other, the bottle is fast-forwarded and conveyed. The occurrence of clogging and falling bottles is prevented. Further, since the rotating peripheral speed of the rotating disk is faster than the conveying line speed, the centrifugal force generated in the bottle, that is, the falling bottle discharging force is increased accordingly.

[0018]

Is connected to the inverted bottle removing device 11, and further, a chemical liquid filling device is connected to the inverted bottle removing device 11 via the second conveyor 20.

The first conveyor 9 is driven in the direction of the arrow. The first conveyor 9 has a width capable of transporting the bottles 1 arranged in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction. One end of the transfer plate 10 is formed in a linear shape so as to be engaged with the end of the first conveyor 9, and the other end is formed in an arc shape to be engaged with the outer periphery of the turntable 6 of the bottle aligning device 3. ing.

The bottle aligning device 3 includes the disk-shaped turntable 6, the transport guide 4, the alignment guide 5, and the first loading section 23.

A transport guide 4 having a width through which the bottle 1 is transported, and an alignment guide 5 mounted near the transport guide 4 at an angle to the circumferential direction are provided above the turntable 6.

The inverted bottle removing device 11 includes a rotating disc 13, an outer guide 12, an inner guide 14, and an arc-shaped conveying groove 15b.
Carry-in part 24a, second carry-out part 24b, and inverted bottle outlet 1
7 is included. The inverted bottle removing device 11 includes a second loading unit 24
a, connected to the first discharge portion 23b of the bottle aligning device 3,
It is connected to the second conveyor 20 at the second unloading section 24b. The outer guide 12 and the inner guide 14 are
3 above. The outer guide 12 and the inner guide 14 have arcuate side surfaces facing each other. The arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b is composed of a rotating disk 13, an outer guide 12, and an inner guide 14. The inverted bottle outlet 17 is an opening provided below the outer guide 12.

The second conveyor 20 is driven in the direction of the arrow. One end of the second conveyor 20 is connected to the falling bottle removing device 1.

Are configured to be at the same level.

The operation of the above-described filling and conveying line will be described. The aligned bottles 1 on the first conveyor 9 pass through a drier (not shown) and are dried at high temperature. Dried bottle 1
Is transported to the crossing board 10 by the first conveyor 9.
The bottle 1 that is moving linearly is smoothly transported to the first carry-in portion 23a of the turntable 6 while changing to a rotational motion on the crossover plate 10. However, when the bottle 1 crosses the boundary between the crossing board 10 and the turntable 6, the bottle 1
, The force of the first conveyor 9 to move straight and the force of the turntable 6 in the circumferential direction act. At this time, some bottles 1
May be in a state where its feet are scooped and fall down at the boundary between the crossing board 10 and the turntable 6, resulting in a falling bottle 1b. That is, when the bottle 1 is transferred from the transfer plate 10 to the turntable 6, the bottle 1
a and a small number of inverted bottles 1b.

When the bottle 1 conveyed to the bottle aligning device 3 goes around on the turntable 6, the bottle 1 moves along the transport guide 4 while being pushed toward the transport guide 4 by the alignment guide 5. Then, it continues continuously. The continuously connected bottles 1 are transferred from the first discharge portion 23b of the bottle aligning device 3 to the second load portion 24a of the inverted bottle removing device 11.

In the inverted bottle removing device 11, centrifugal force due to the rotation of the rotating disk 13 acts on the bottle 1, and presses the bottle 1 against the outer guide 12. The bottle 1 is conveyed according to the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b while its upper peripheral surface is slidably supported by the arc-shaped side surface of the outer guide 12. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3B, only the inverted bottle 1b is discharged from the inverted bottle discharge port 17 provided below the outer guide 12. The bottle 1 from which the inverted bottle 1b has been removed is transported to the chemical filling step by the second conveyor 20, and the chemical liquid is filled in the bottle 1.

Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the inverted bottle removing device 11 of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 3A shows the inverted bottle removing device 11 shown in FIG.
FIG. 2B is a front view of the inverted bottle removing device 11 of FIG. In FIG. 3A, 11 is an inverted bottle removing device, 13 is a rotating disk, 14 is an inner guide, 12 is an outer guide, 15b is an arc-shaped conveying groove, 16
a is the inlet, 16b is the outlet, 17 is the inverted bottle outlet, 22
Reference numerals a and 22b denote blocking means, 18 a collection container, 24a a second loading section, and 24b a second loading section. The inverted bottle removing device 11 is connected to the first unloading portion 23b and the second conveyor 20 of the bottle aligning device at the second loading portion 24a and the second unloading portion 24b, respectively. The rotating disk 13 rotates in the direction of the arrow. The rotating disk 13 has an outer peripheral bottom edge 13a on the outer peripheral portion. The inner guide 14 has an arc-shaped outer guide edge 14a formed in an arc shape on the outer periphery thereof. The outer guide 12 is formed between an arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a formed on the inner peripheral edge thereof in an arc shape and an inlet portion 16a and an outlet portion 16b, and has an arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a.
And a wall-shaped blocking means 22a, 22b on both sides of the inverted bottle outlet 17. The arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b is a space area formed by the rotating disk 13, the inner guide 14, and the outer guide 12. The collection container 18 is provided below the inverted bottle outlet 17.

The inner guide 14 is arranged on the rotating disk 13. The outer guide is provided so that the arc-shaped outer guide edge 14a and the arc-shaped inner guide edge 12a face each other.
4 is arranged outside. The arc-shaped conveying groove 15b is constituted by an arc-shaped outer peripheral guide edge 14a forming its inner part, an arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a forming its outer part, and an outer peripheral bottom edge 13a forming its moving bottom. I have.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the rotating disk 1
The outer periphery of the outer peripheral bottom edge portion 13a can be positioned at the widthwise middle of the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b in the region of the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b. That is, the outer periphery of the outer peripheral bottom edge 13a is located between the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a and the arc-shaped outer peripheral guide edge 14a, and the gap 21 is formed between the outer peripheral bottom edge 13a and the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a. Is formed.

The operation of the inverted bottle removing device 11 having the above configuration will be described. 4A is a plan view of a main part showing an operating state of the inverted bottle removing device 11, FIG. 4B is a side view of a first main part showing a removed state of the inverted bottle 1b, and FIG. Is a standing bottle 1
It is a 2nd principal part side view which shows the conveyance state of a.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the continuously connected bottles 1 are turned at the second inlet 24a, that is, at the bottom edge 13a of the outer periphery of the rotating rotating disk 13 by the turntable 6. Passed from. The bottle 1 is conveyed along the arc of the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b while being supported below the outer peripheral bottom edge 13a. At this time, since the rotating disk 13 is rotating as shown by the arrow, a centrifugal force (radial arrow) acts on the bottle 1 on the rotating disk 13 and the bottle 1 is applied to the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a. While being slidably supported (pressed strongly), it moves along the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b. When the bottle 1 reaches the inverted bottle outlet 17 over the entrance 16a of the outer guide 12, the standing bottle 1a and the inverted bottle 1b make different movements as follows.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the bottom and the upper peripheral surface of the standing bottle 1a are supported by an outer peripheral bottom edge 13a and an arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a, respectively. Therefore, the standing bottle 1 a passes through the inverted bottle outlet 17 without being discharged at the inverted bottle outlet 17. The standing bottle 1a that has passed through the inverted bottle discharge port 17 is transferred to the second conveyor 20 via the second unloading section 24b, and is conveyed to the chemical liquid filling step.

On the other hand, the inverted bottle 1b at the inverted bottle outlet 17 is
As shown in FIG. 4B, since the outer guide 12 is not supported by the arc-shaped inner circumferential guide edge 12a, the outer guide 12 is discharged from the inverted bottle discharge port 17 vigorously outward by centrifugal force. Falls down). That is, the inverted bottle 1b is
7, and becomes the discharge falling bottle 2a. Discharge bottle 2a
After being collected in the collection container 18, the process returns to the first step and is reused or discarded.

The peripheral speed of the outer bottom edge 13a is set so as to be faster than the loading and unloading speed of the bottle 1, that is, the peripheral speed of the turntable 6 and the transport speed of the second conveyor 20. In the standing bottle 1a near the entrance 16a, the bottle 1 is fast-forwarded, and a gap is formed between the bottles 1. However, since the peripheral speed of the outer peripheral bottom edge portion 13a is faster than the unloading speed of the bottle 1, the bottle 1 is clogged from the outlet portion 16b toward the inlet portion 16a without any gap while being fed idly with the outer peripheral bottom edge portion 13a. Go. That is, most of the standing bottles 1a in the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b are in close contact. As a result, since the standing bottles 1a adjacent to each other are supported by each other,
The posture is stable and it is harder to fall. For the same reason, the gap formed after the inverted bottle 1b is discharged by the inverted bottle removing device 11 is quickly filled, and the standing bottle 1a is hard to fall. In addition, since the peripheral speed of the rotating disk 13 is faster than the speed of the transport line, the centrifugal force generated in the bottle 1, that is, the falling bottle discharging force is increased accordingly. The peripheral speed of the rotating disk 13 is preferably 5% to 40% higher than the loading speed and the unloading speed, and 10% to 25% higher than the loading speed and the unloading speed.
% Faster. For example, when the peripheral speed of the rotating disk 13 is 20% faster than the carry-in speed and the carry-out speed, the standing bottle 1a is less likely to fall over than when the carrying speed is the same, and the falling bottle 1b is vigorously vigorously moved. Fall off from.

The bottle 1 subjected to the centrifugal force moves while being pressed against the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a of the outer guide. Arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a of outer guide and inner guide 14
The arc-shaped outer peripheral guide edge 14a can be not only an arc shape but also a concave curved surface such as an elliptical shape or a parabolic shape. In addition, if the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a and the arc-shaped outer peripheral guide edge 14a do not slide smoothly, they become contact resistance and the bottle 1 easily falls. Therefore, the contact resistance is reduced because the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a and the arc-shaped outer peripheral guide edge 14a are provided with a rolling mechanism such as a roller or a ball or a lubricating material such as Teflon. As a result, the standing bottle 1a
Of the bottle 1 can be prevented, and a gap between the adjacent bottles 1 can be prevented.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the rotating shaft of the rotating disk 13 is inclined downward toward the outer guide. Since the bottle 1 is inclined, a sliding force acts on the bottle 1, and a strong discharging force in which the centrifugal force and the sliding force are superimposed acts. This inclination angle is preferably up to 10 degrees, and 3 degrees to 7 degrees.
The degree is more preferable. For example, when the rotation axis of the rotating disk is tilted by about 5 degrees, the inverted bottle 1b falls down from the inverted bottle discharge port 17 more vigorously than when there is no tilt.

By forming the gap 21 between the outer peripheral bottom edge 13a and the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a, the supporting area of the outer peripheral bottom edge 13a for supporting the bottle 1 from below is reduced. . The falling bottle 1b has an outer peripheral bottom edge 13a.
And the supporting area is small and unstable, so that it is easy to roll down to the inverted bottle outlet 17. Therefore, the inverted bottle 1b is more reliably removed. On the other hand, the standing bottle 1a is supported only by a part of the bottom surface, but its upper peripheral surface is strongly pressed against the arc-shaped inner peripheral guide edge 12a of the outer guide 12 by the action of centrifugal force. Since the standing bottles 1a adjacent to each other are supported by each other, the posture is stable and it is not easy to fall down. Further, by providing such a gap 21 in the arc-shaped conveyance groove 15b, there is also an effect that the opening of the inverted bottle discharge port 17 is substantially enlarged.

The falling bottle removing device 11 of the present invention can remove almost 100% of the falling bottle 1b if the operating conditions are satisfied, but the falling bottle may not be removed for some reason. Therefore, by providing the blocking means 22a and 22b at the inlet 16a and the outlet 16b, the inverted bottle 1b
However, it is possible to prevent the gap in the apparatus from being clogged or to enter the subsequent steps. When the inverted bottle 1b is blocked by the blocking means 22a, 22b, an operator manually removes it individually.
