Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a glass bottle transfer device, and more particularly to a glass bottle transfer device that can move a group of glass bottles sent on a lehr net onto a bottle conveyor. The present invention relates to a transfer device.

[Technical background and problems of the invention]

Generally, when transferring glass bottles on a lehr net to a bottle conveyor, a dead plate is placed between the lehr net and the bottle conveyor. FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of this type of device. Glass bottles 1 from a dust bottle machine are placed on a lehr nettor and conveyed in the direction of arrow A, passing through a dead plate 3 on the way to a bottle conveyor. 4.

By the way, when glass bottles are heat-treated in a lehr, the defective bottles often break and are scattered as small glass fragments on the lehr net. These small pieces of glass get caught in the lehr net, and as a result, damage the leading edge of the dead plate, and in severe cases, lift the dead plate, which acts as a stopper to stop subsequent glass bottles or cause dead plates. This is also a cause of rough transportation of glass bottles on the plate. Further, for some reason, a glass bottle that has fallen on the lehr net may roll over on the dead plate, which causes trouble in conveying the glass bottle in the bottle conveyor section.
