Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bottled water production equipment, in particular to a mechanical clamp. Background Art

[0002] In the process of producing bottled water, the inside of the water barrel needs to be inspected before filling to ensure that the water barrel is clean and sanitary; therefore, before the water barrel is moved to the inspection area via a conveyor belt, it needs to be moved into the inspection area using a gripper; for example, the inspection area illuminates the bottom of the water barrel with light.

[0003] Since the empty barrel is light in weight, if the clamp in the prior art, such as the clamp with announcement number: CN213751260U, is used to carry the empty barrel, the structure of the clamp is relatively complicated, which leads to an increase in the cost of carrying the empty barrel. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a mechanical clamp to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a mechanical clamp, comprising a base mounted on a frame; a first clamp is provided on one side of the base, and a second clamp is provided on the other side of the base; a linkage plate is provided between the first clamp and the second clamp, and the linkage plate is moved by a driving member provided on the base to make the first clamp and the second clamp move toward or away from each other.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: a detection member is also provided on the base, and the other end of the detection member is connected to the linkage plate.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: a detector is further provided on a side of the detection member facing the linkage plate.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the detection member includes a sleeve and a tube cover installed on the sleeve, and the tube cover is connected to the sleeve to fix the detector in the sleeve.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: a fastener is further provided on the linkage plate, and the fastener contacts the detection member to fix the detection member on the linkage plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are both rotatably connected to the first axle pin rod on the base through the axle pin hole, and the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are connected to the second axle pin rod provided on the linkage plate through the slide groove.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: one end of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw away from the shaft pin hole is connected to an anti-slip pad.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the two jaws follow the linkage plate to move downward, the first jaw and the second jaw are closed to clamp the empty barrel, and when the two jaws follow the linkage plate to move upward, the first jaw and the second jaw are unfolded to release the empty barrel; and the jaws utilize the linkage plate to follow the driving member to make a simple up and down reciprocating motion, which can simply and conveniently prompt the two jaws to complete the clamping action and the releasing action, so that while completing the empty barrel transportation, the structure of the jaws can be simplified, thereby reducing the cost of empty barrel transportation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 1-5An embodiment of the present invention is as follows: a mechanical clamp comprises a base 1 mounted on a frame; a first clamp 3 is provided on one side of the base 1, and a second clamp 4 is provided on the other side of the base 1; a linkage plate 5 is provided between the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4, and the linkage plate 5 is moved by a driving member 7 provided on the base 1, so that the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4 move toward or away from each other.

[0021] In summary, when the two clamps follow the linkage plate 5 to move downward, the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4 are closed to clamp the empty barrel, and when the two clamps follow the linkage plate 5 to move upward, the first clamp 3 and the second clamp 4 are opened to release the empty barrel; and the clamp uses the linkage plate 5 to follow the driving member 7 to make a simple up and down reciprocating motion, which can simply and conveniently prompt the two clamps to complete the clamping action and the releasing action, so that the structure of the clamp is simplified while completing the empty barrel transportation, thereby reducing the cost of empty barrel transportation. Among them, the driving member 7 is preferably a cylinder.

[0022] Furthermore, since the base 1 is also provided with a detection member 2, and the other end of the detection member 2 is connected to the linkage plate 5, when the two clamps clamp the empty barrel, the detection member 2 can detect the inside of the empty barrel.

[0023] Specifically, a detector 21 is further provided on the side of the detection member 2 facing the linkage plate 5. When the clamping claws clamp the empty barrel, the detector 21 moves downward along with the linkage plate 5, so that the detector 21 can be moved into the barrel to detect the interior of the empty barrel. The detector 21 is preferably a camera to take pictures of the interior of the empty barrel. At the same time, the detector 21 can also be an odor detection probe.

[0024] Based on this, the device uses two clamps to clamp the empty barrel and at the same time can send the detector 21 into the empty barrel, so that the detector 21 can obtain information inside the empty barrel; for example, use a camera to take pictures to determine whether there are impurities inside the empty barrel, and use an odor probe to obtain odor information inside the empty barrel to determine whether there is an odor inside the empty barrel.

[0025] Furthermore, the detection member 2 includes a sleeve 20 and a tube cover 22 installed on the sleeve 20. The tube cover 22 is connected to the sleeve 20 to fix the detector 21 in the sleeve 20. Based on this, the installation and disassembly of the detector 21 are simple and convenient; specifically, the tube cover 22 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 20.

[0026] Furthermore, since the linkage plate 5 is also provided with a fastener 8, and the fastener 8 is in contact with the detection member 2 to fix the detection member 2 on the linkage plate 5, the depth of the detection member 2 extending into the empty barrel can be adjusted by adjusting the tightness of the fastener 8; specifically, the fastener 8 and the linkage plate 5 are threadedly matched, so the detection member 2 can be fixed to the linkage plate 5 by tightening the fastener 8, and conversely, the fastener 8 can be loosened, and then the detection member 2 can be slid upward or downward, so that the depth of the detection member 2 extending into the empty barrel can be adjusted.

[0027] On the basis of the above scheme, since the first clamping jaw 3 and the second clamping jaw 4 are both rotatably connected to the first axle pin rod 9 on the base 1 through the axle pin hole 32, and the first clamping jaw 3 and the second clamping jaw 4 are connected to the second axle pin rod 10 provided on the linkage plate 5 through the slide groove 31, therefore, the above structure can ensure that the two clamping jaws can move towards or away from each other smoothly, and the setting of the slide groove 31 can also reduce the shaking phenomenon of the two clamping jaws during the movement, thereby ensuring that the two clamping jaws move towards or away from each other smoothly.

[0028] Furthermore, since the first clamping jaw 3 and the second clamping jaw 4 are connected to the anti-skid pad 6 at one end away from the axle pin hole 32, the anti-skid pad 6 can be used to contact the mouth of the empty barrel, which can protect the mouth of the barrel and prevent the empty barrel from falling during the clamping process, thereby ensuring the stability of the empty barrel during transportation; the specific material of the anti-skid pad 6 is preferably silicone.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
