Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conveying devices, and in particular to an auxiliary conveyor for glass bottle production. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of glass bottles, flexible chain bottle clamping conveyors are usually used to seamlessly transfer glass bottles between different processes. During operation, the flexible chain bottle clamping conveyor squeezes the glass bottles through a number of flexible clamping blocks thereon, and generates friction through the deformation of the contact surface between the flexible clamping blocks and the glass bottles, thereby driving the glass bottles to move. During the use of the flexible chain bottle clamping conveyor, its clamping force on the glass bottles is mainly determined by the deformation of the flexible clamping blocks thereon. If the deformation of the flexible clamping blocks when clamping the glass bottles is small, the clamping force is small, resulting in small friction between the flexible clamping blocks and the glass bottles, which will cause the glass bottles to tilt or fall during the conveying process, affecting the subsequent processing of the glass bottles. If the clamping force is large, it is easy to cause the bottle body to break and accelerate the wear of the flexible clamping blocks. The prior art controls the deformation of the flexible clamping blocks after clamping the glass bottles by adjusting the gap between the two flexible chains on the flexible chain bottle clamping conveyor.
[0003] On a glass bottle production line, when the specifications of the glass bottles change, it is necessary to wait until all the glass bottles of the current specifications have been delivered before the flexible chain gap can be adjusted to accommodate the glass bottles of the new specifications, resulting in interruptions in the production rhythm and low production capacity of the production line. In addition, for production lines that need to produce multiple specifications of glass bottles at the same time, the existing technology requires that glass bottles of different specifications be sorted and delivered separately, resulting in an increase in the number of conveying equipment, which increases the factory's floor space and equipment costs. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention provides an auxiliary conveyor for glass bottle production to overcome the shortcomings of low production capacity and high equipment cost in the glass bottle production process, such as the inability of a flexible chain bottle clamping conveyor to adapt to the switching of glass bottle specifications and the inability to transport glass bottles of multiple specifications in parallel.
[0005] The technical implementation scheme of the present invention is: an auxiliary conveyor for glass bottle production, comprising:
[0006] The frame is fixed with two symmetrically distributed mounting slot frames, the mounting slot frames are equipped with a power motor and a flexible chain, the power motor is used to provide power for the rotation of the flexible chain, the flexible chain is provided with a plurality of clamping units for squeezing and fixing the glass bottles, and the clamping units include:

[0008] The adjusting components, the number of which is equal to that of the elastic members, are respectively arranged on adjacent limiting frames, and are used to adjust the positions of the limiting frames, thereby controlling the bending amplitude of the elastic members to control the squeezing force of the elastic members on the glass bottles.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes:

[0012] Furthermore, the connection between the reset rope and the adjacent extrusion column is located at a position where the adjacent extrusion column slides in the adjacent mounting block.
[0013] Furthermore, the number of the extrusion columns corresponding to each of the elastic members is not less than two, and the position of the limit frame close to the adjacent extrusion columns is provided with a sliding groove, and the fixing pin slides and rotates in the adjacent sliding groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the extrusion column is provided with a plurality of adjustment slots, and the adjustment slots are used to limit the adjacent fixing pins, and the extrusion column is slidably connected to the fixing pins.
[0015] Furthermore, the elastic member is composed of three parts connected to each other, and the connection position is located at the guide part. The side surface of the part located in the middle of the elastic member is made of silicone material, which is used to increase the friction between the elastic member and the glass bottle.
[0016] Furthermore, the sum of the side areas of the parts located on both sides of the elastic member is not greater than the side area of the part located in the middle of the elastic member.
[0017] Furthermore, the mounting frame is provided with symmetrically distributed limiting ridges, the mounting frame is made of elastic material, two limiting parts are provided on both sides of the mounting block close to the limiting ridges, the limiting parts are in contact with the mounting frame, and are used to limit the relative position of the mounting frame and the mounting block, and two extrusion slopes are provided on the side of the mounting block away from the adjacent elastic member, the extrusion slopes are used to extrude the limiting ridges, and the mounting block is provided with limiting grooves equal in number to the limiting ridges on the mounting frame, and the limiting grooves are used to limit the adjacent limiting ridges.
[0018] Furthermore, the mounting blocks are provided with fastening bevels at positions close to the limiting grooves, and the fastening bevels are located between adjacent limiting grooves and adjacent extrusion bevels, and the fastening bevels are used to guide adjacent limiting ridges into adjacent limiting grooves.
[0019] The beneficial effect produced by adopting the above technical scheme is that the present invention automatically adjusts the position of the limit frame to the adjacent elastic member according to the specifications of the glass bottles to be transported, so that after the glass bottles of various specifications are squeezed by the elastic member, the bending amplitude of the elastic member tends to be consistent, and then the extrusion force applied by the elastic member to the glass bottles of various specifications under the action of its own elasticity tends to be consistent, so that without changing the gap between the two flexible chains, it is possible to provide a consistent extrusion pressure for the glass bottles of various specifications and transport them, thereby improving the applicability of the device to glass bottles of different specifications, eliminating the step of waiting for the glass bottles to be transported into place and adjusting the gap when the specifications of the glass bottles are changed, thereby improving production capacity, and being able to transport glass bottles of multiple specifications at the same time, reducing the number of conveying equipment, and saving factory floor space and equipment costs.
[0020] The shape of the glass bottle is detected by using a plurality of squeezing columns corresponding to the same elastic member, so that the elastic member can adapt to glass bottles of more shapes and keep the squeezing force on the glass bottles at different heights stable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] An auxiliary conveyor for glass bottle production, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , including: a frame 1, the frame 1 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed mounting slot frames 2, the mounting slot frames 2 are installed with a power motor 3 and a flexible chain 4, the power motor 3 is used to provide power for the rotation of the flexible chain 4, the flexible chain 4 is provided with a plurality of clamping units for squeezing and fixing the glass bottles, the clamping unit includes: a mounting frame 5, fixedly connected to the flexible chain 4, the mounting frame 5 is provided with a mounting block 6, the mounting block 6 is fixedly connected with a plurality of elastic members 7 on the side away from the mounting frame 5, the elastic members 7 are slidably connected to the limit frame 8; the number of adjustment components equal to the elastic members 7 are respectively arranged on adjacent limit frames 8, for The position of the limit frame 8 is adjusted, and then the bending amplitude of the elastic member 7 is controlled to control the squeezing force of the elastic member 7 on the glass bottle; the adjustment component includes: an extrusion column 9, which is limited and slidably connected to the mounting block 6, and the extrusion column 9 and the limit frame 8 are jointly provided with a fixing pin 10; the elastic member 7 is provided with a guide portion 701 and a straight portion 702, and a reset rope 11 is fixedly connected between the guide portion 701 and the adjacent extrusion column 9, and the reset rope 11 is used to pull the adjacent extrusion column 9 to reset under the elastic reset action of the guide portion 701; the connection between the reset rope 11 and the adjacent extrusion column 9 is located at the position where the adjacent extrusion column 9 slides in the adjacent mounting block 6.
[0032] The above scheme aims to solve the problem that the existing flexible chain bottle clamping conveyor cannot adapt to the switching of glass bottle specifications and cannot transport glass bottles of multiple specifications in parallel when applied to glass bottle production, resulting in low production capacity and high equipment cost; this scheme automatically adjusts the position of the limit frame 8 to the adjacent elastic member 7 according to the specifications of the glass bottles to be transported, so that after the glass bottles of various specifications are squeezed by the elastic member 7, the bending amplitude of the elastic member 7 tends to be consistent, and then the extrusion force applied by the elastic member 7 to the glass bottles of various specifications under the action of its own elasticity tends to be consistent, so that without changing the gap between the two flexible chains 4, it is possible to provide a consistent extrusion force for the glass bottles of various specifications and transport them, thereby improving the scope of application of the device for glass bottles of different specifications, eliminating the step of waiting for the glass bottle to be transported to the right place when the specifications are changed, improving production capacity, and being able to transport glass bottles of various specifications at the same time, reducing the number of conveying equipment, saving factory floor space and equipment costs.
[0033] The shape of the mounting slot frame 2 can be changed according to the actual application environment. Here, the shape of the mounting slot frame 2 is S-shaped; the frame 1, the mounting slot frame 2, the power motor 3 and the flexible chain 4 are all existing devices and are not specifically shown in the attached drawings; the mounting frame 5 is C-shaped; the elastic member 7 is made of elastic rubber material, and the guide portion 701 is used to guide the bending deformation direction of the elastic member 7 when it is squeezed; the limit frame 8 is fitted with the left and right sides of the straight portion 702 to provide support for the straight portion 702, so that the root of the bent portion of the straight portion 702 after being squeezed is always located at the contact position between the limit frame 8 and the straight portion 702, so that after the straight portion 702 is bent to the limit state (when the straight portion 702 is squeezed, its bending amplitude gradually increases until the glass bottle contacts the squeezing column 9, which is the limit state of the bending of the straight portion 702), the bending amplitude of the straight portion 702 tends to remain unchanged, so that the squeezing force of the straight portion 702 on the glass bottle tends to remain unchanged; the squeezing column 9 is used to maintain the minimum distance between the glass bottle and the limit frame 8.
[0034] The material of the reset rope 11 can be determined according to the actual application situation. Here, the reset rope 11 is a fishing line. On the one hand, the reset rope 11 is used to pull the extrusion column 9 to reset by relying on the elastic reset effect of the elastic member 7. On the other hand, when the glass bottle squeezes the extrusion column 9 to move, the extrusion column 9 pulls the guide part 701 to bend through the reset rope 11, thereby changing the bending direction of the guide part 701 (when the extrusion column 9 is squeezed by the glass bottle, the extrusion column 9 pulls the guide part 701 through the reset rope 11, so that the guide part 701 bends and "folds" into the gap between the two adjacent straight parts 702, reducing the probability that the guide part 701 squeezes the adjacent elastic member 7 and affects it); the connection between the reset rope 11 and the adjacent extrusion column 9 is located at the position where the adjacent extrusion column 9 slides in the adjacent mounting block 6, so that the traction force applied to the adjacent extrusion column 9 by the reset rope 11 when the elastic member 7 is reset is along the axial direction of the adjacent extrusion column 9, so that the extrusion column 9 can be reset and move.
[0035] The working principle of the above scheme is as follows: When the device is used to transport glass bottles from right to left (the shape of the glass bottles is shown in the attached Figure 2 ), adjust the distance between the two mounting slots 2 so that the minimum distance between the two corresponding mounting blocks 6 on different mounting slots 2 is equal to the sum of the maximum width of the positions to be clamped of all glass bottles in the current batch on the production line and two set distances (the set distance in this article refers to: the maximum distance between the end of the extrusion column 9 away from the adjacent mounting block 6 and the adjacent limit frame 8 in the axial direction of the extrusion column 9). After the distance between the two mounting slots 2 is adjusted, the device can convey glass bottles whose width at the position to be clamped is greater than or equal to the minimum distance between the two extrusion columns 9 corresponding to different mounting slots 2, thereby meeting the conveying needs of the device for glass bottles of various specifications and improving the scope of application of the device.
[0036] After the distance between the two mounting slots 2 is adjusted, the device is installed between process one and process two (the outlet of process one and the inlet of process two are both equipped with conveyor belts, and the left and right parts of the mounting slot 2 are respectively placed above the conveyor belt at the inlet of process two and the conveyor belt at the outlet of process one), and the two power motors 3 are started. The output shafts of the power motors 3 drive the adjacent flexible chains 4 to rotate along the circumference of the adjacent mounting slots 2. The flexible chains 4 drive the adjacent mounting blocks 6 to rotate circumferentially through the adjacent mounting frames 5 (that is, the mounting blocks 6 rotate along the circumference of the adjacent mounting slots 2). The two mounting slots 2 face each other. The spacing between the two corresponding mounting blocks 6 on the right gradually decreases; after the glass bottle is processed in step 1, it moves to the right side of the mounting slot frame 2 driven by the conveyor belt and enters the middle of the two flexible chains 4. At this time, the glass bottle contacts the guide part 701 located on the right side of the opposite side of the mounting slot frame 2. As the glass bottle moves to the left and the elastic member 7 rotates circumferentially, the glass bottle squeezes the guide part 701 to deform, causing the bending amplitude of the guide part 701 to increase. At the same time, the guide part 701 drives the adjacent straight part 702 to bend, and the root of the bending of the straight part 702 is located at the position where the limit frame 8 contacts the straight part 702.
[0037] When the glass bottle squeezes the guide part 701, the guide part 701 slides relative to the side of the glass bottle, and the guide part 701 squeezes the straight part 702, so that the bending amplitude of the straight part 702 gradually increases, and at the same time, the position where the guide part 701 contacts the glass bottle gradually approaches the adjacent straight part 702, and finally the guide part 701 completely loses contact with the glass bottle, and the straight part 702 contacts the glass bottle. When the bending amplitude of the straight part 702 exceeds its critical value (the critical value is related to the elastic coefficient, material, shape and other factors of the straight part 702), as the straight part 702 is continued to be squeezed, the part of the straight part 702 close to the guide part 701 gradually fits to the side of the glass bottle, and surface contact is formed between the straight part 702 and the glass bottle. As the glass bottle continues to squeeze the straight part 702, the contact area between the straight part 702 and the glass bottle gradually increases, and at the same time, the distance between the glass bottle and the squeezing column 9 continues to decrease, and finally the glass bottle contacts the squeezing column 9.
[0038] After the glass bottle contacts the squeezing column 9, the distance between the limit frame 8 and the glass bottle remains unchanged, and the bending amplitude of the straight portion 702 tends to remain unchanged (that is, the elastic force of the straight portion 702 on the glass bottle and the friction between the two tend to remain unchanged, and the glass bottle of the largest specification produced on the production line can be transported under this friction). As the distance between the two corresponding mounting blocks 6 continues to decrease, the glass bottle continues to squeeze the straight portion 702 and the squeezing column 9, and the squeezing column 9 drives the limit frame 8 to slide along the adjacent straight portion 702 through the fixing pin 10, so that the straight portion 702 moves from the middle of the limit frame 8 to the middle of the straight portion 702. At the same time, as the glass bottle squeezes the straight portion 702, the bending amplitude of the straight portion 702 tends to remain unchanged, so that the part of the straight portion 702 "extending" from the limit frame 8 gradually replaces the part of the straight portion 702 close to the guide portion 701 to form an arc, and the contact area between the straight portion 702 and the glass bottle gradually increases. Repeat the above steps until the distance between the two corresponding mounting blocks 6 no longer decreases. At this point, the glass bottle and the adjacent elastic member 7 remain stationary, and the glass bottle is driven by the elastic member 7 to move along the mounting groove frame 2 to above the inlet conveyor belt of the process two.
[0039] When the glass bottle moves to the top of the inlet conveyor belt of process two, that is, the glass bottle moves to the left part of the opposite sides of the two mounting slot frames 2, the distance between the two corresponding mounting blocks 6 on different mounting slot frames 2 gradually increases, and the above steps of squeezing the elastic member 7 of the glass bottle are repeated in reverse. The elastic member 7 is reset under the action of its own elasticity. During the resetting process, the elastic member 7 pulls the adjacent squeezing column 9 to slide through the adjacent reset rope 11, so that the squeezing column 9, the fixing pin 10 and the limit frame 8 are reset. At this time, the glass bottle loses contact with the elastic member 7, and then the glass bottle is driven by the conveyor belt of process two and enters process two.
[0040] When the device is used to transport glass bottles of various specifications, although the distances moved by the squeezing column 9 and the limit frame 8 for squeezing glass bottles of different specifications are different, since the distance between the glass bottle and the limit frame 8 (that is, the minimum distance between the end of the squeezing column 9 away from the adjacent mounting block 6 and the limit frame 8 in the axial direction of the squeezing column 9) remains unchanged, the bending amplitude of the straight portion 702 tends to be consistent, so that the device can transport glass bottles of different specifications at the same time, and at the same time maintain the stability of the squeezing force applied to glass bottles of different specifications, thereby reducing the probability of the glass bottles tilting, falling and breaking.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 The number of the extrusion columns 9 corresponding to each elastic member 7 is not less than two, and the position of the limit frame 8 close to the adjacent extrusion columns 9 is provided with a sliding groove 801, and the fixing pin 10 slides and rotates in the adjacent sliding groove 801.
[0042] In the above scheme, the purpose is to use multiple squeezing columns 9 corresponding to the same elastic member 7 to detect the shape of the glass bottle, so that the elastic member 7 can adapt to glass bottles of more shapes (for example, a glass bottle with a circular cross-section and a gradually changing diameter in the axial direction, a glass bottle with a roughly rectangular cross-section and a gradually changing width in the axial direction, and the above two types of glass bottles are referred to as gradient glass bottles in the following), and keep the squeezing force on the glass bottles at different heights stable; the number of squeezing columns 9 corresponding to each elastic member 7 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In this article, each elastic member 7 corresponds to two squeezing columns 9, and the two squeezing columns 9 are respectively located at the upper and lower parts of the adjacent elastic members 7; the sliding groove 801 can make the limit frame 8 tilt under the drive of two adjacent fixing pins 10.
[0043] When the device is used to transport gradient glass bottles, the movement distances of the upper and lower squeezing columns 9 for squeezing the gradient glass bottles are different, but since the distance between the fixing pin 10 and the gradient glass bottle remains unchanged, the limit frame 8 is tilted under the drive of the two squeezing columns 9 and the adjacent fixing pins 10, so that the horizontal distances between the limit frame 8 and the gradient glass bottle tend to be consistent, and then the horizontal distances between the roots of the straight portion 702 and the gradient glass bottle tend to be consistent, so that the bending amplitudes of the straight portion 702 at various heights in the vertical direction tend to be consistent, that is, the squeezing force of the straight portion 702 on the gradient glass bottle at various locations tends to be consistent, thereby maintaining the conveying effect of the device on the gradient glass bottles.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The extrusion column 9 is provided with a plurality of adjustment slots 101 , and the adjustment slots 101 are used to limit the adjacent fixing pins 10 , and the extrusion column 9 is slidably connected with the fixing pins 10 .
[0045] In the above scheme, the purpose is to control the minimum distance between the glass bottle and the limit frame 8 by adjusting the relative position of the fixing pin 10 and the squeezing column 9, change the bending amplitude of the straight portion 702 when fixing the glass bottle, and then change the squeezing force of the straight portion 702 on the glass bottle, so that the device can meet the transportation requirements of glass bottles with different wall thicknesses, and reduce the probability of tilting, falling and breaking caused by inappropriate squeezing force of the elastic member 7 on the glass bottle; an interference fit can be adopted between the fixing pin 10 and the adjusting slot 101 to reduce the probability of the fixing pin 10 falling off from the adjusting slot 101 during the operation of the device.
[0046] The principle of changing the squeezing force of the elastic member 7 on the glass bottle and thus adjusting the applicable scope of the device is as follows: when assembling the device, the squeezing force required to be provided by the elastic member 7 is determined according to the thickness of the glass bottles produced by the factory, and then the range of variation of the bending amplitude of the elastic member 7 is calculated according to the material of the elastic member 7, and then the minimum distance between the end of the squeezing column 9 away from the adjacent mounting block 6 and the fixing pin 10 in the axial direction of the squeezing column 9 is obtained, and then when assembling the squeezing column 9 and the fixing pin 10, the fixing pin 10 is installed in the corresponding adjustment slot 101 according to the above-mentioned minimum distance. In this way, the minimum distance between the limit frame 8 and the glass bottle during the operation of the device is changed, and then the maximum bending amplitude of the elastic member 7 when squeezing the glass bottle is changed, thereby meeting the transportation requirements of glass bottles with different wall thicknesses.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 The elastic member 7 is composed of three parts connected to each other, and the connection position is located at the guide part 701. The side surface of the part located in the middle of the elastic member 7 is made of silicone material, which is used to increase the friction between the elastic member 7 and the glass bottle; the sum of the side surface areas of the parts located on both sides of the elastic member 7 is not greater than the side surface area of the part located in the middle of the elastic member 7.
[0048] In the above scheme, the effect of the friction between the elastic member 7 and the glass bottle on the bending amplitude of the elastic member 7 is reduced; the elastic rubber material of the elastic member 7 is modified so that the friction coefficient between the elastic member 7 and the glass is low, which facilitates the sliding of the guide portion 701 and the straight portion 702 along the surface of the glass bottle. In this way, when the straight portion 702 is deformed, the parts on both sides of the elastic member 7 are used to pull the middle part to move, thereby reducing the "stack" between the middle part of the elastic member 7 and the glass bottle due to excessive friction (that is, the part of the straight portion 702 located between the glass bottle and the adjacent limit frame 8 is affected). The probability of wrinkles due to extrusion) is reduced, and the regular change of elastic force after the elastic member 7 is maintained after bending and deformation; the side surface of the middle part of the elastic member 7 is made of silicone material, which is used to provide friction for pulling the glass bottle to move; the sum of the side surface areas of the parts located on both sides of the elastic member 7 is not greater than the side surface area of the middle part of the elastic member 7, and the area difference between the parts on both sides of the elastic member 7 and the middle part can be adjusted according to factors such as the material of the elastic member 7 and the friction between the elastic member 7 and the glass bottle. In this article, the sum of the side surface areas of the parts on both sides of the elastic member 7 is equal to the side surface area of the middle part of the elastic member 7.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7The mounting frame 5 is provided with symmetrically distributed limiting ribs 501, and the mounting frame 5 is made of elastic material. Two limiting parts 601 are provided on both sides of the mounting block 6 close to the limiting ribs 501, and the limiting parts 601 are in contact with the mounting frame 5, and are used to limit the relative position of the mounting frame 5 and the mounting block 6. Two extrusion slopes 602 are provided on the side of the mounting block 6 away from the adjacent elastic member 7, and the extrusion slopes 602 are used to extrude the limiting ribs 501. The mounting block 6 is provided with limiting grooves 603 equal in number to the limiting ribs 501 on the mounting frame 5, and the limiting grooves 603 are used to limit the adjacent limiting ribs 501; the mounting block 6 is provided with fastening slopes 604 at positions close to the limiting grooves 603, and the fastening slopes 604 are located between the adjacent limiting grooves 603 and the adjacent extrusion slopes 602, and the fastening slopes 604 are used to guide the adjacent limiting ribs 501 into the adjacent limiting grooves 603.
[0050] In the above scheme, the guiding of the installation frame 5 by the limiting part 601 and the guiding of the limiting rib 501 by the fastening inclined surface 604 are used to improve the stability of the installation frame 5 and the installation block 6, and facilitate the replacement of the installation block 6; the number of the limiting rib 501, the limiting groove 603 and the fastening inclined surface 604 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. In this article, the number of the limiting rib 501, the limiting groove 603 and the fastening inclined surface 604 is two, and the two limiting ribs 501 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the adjacent installation frame 5; the gap between the two limiting parts 601 on the upper side of the installation block 6 is equal to the width of the installation frame 5 in the front-to-back direction (this paragraph is based on the attached Figure 7 The minimum distance between the limiting groove 603 and the right side of the mounting block 6 is equal to the minimum distance between the limiting ridge 501 and the left side of the middle of the mounting frame 5. The fastening inclined surface 604 is used to guide the limiting ridge 501 to enter the corresponding limiting groove 603 under the elastic reset action of the mounting frame 5; the left parts of the front and rear sides of the mounting frame 5 are both provided with inclined surfaces, which are used to guide the mounting frame 5 to slide between two adjacent limiting parts 601.
[0051] The steps for replacing the mounting block 6 are as follows: the staff uses a tool to bend the upper side of the mounting frame 5 upward, so that the upper limiting ridge 501 loses contact with the adjacent limiting groove 603, and releases the limiting ridge 501 on the limiting groove 603. At this time, the staff moves the mounting block 6 out of the mounting frame 5 and loosens the upper side of the mounting frame 5, so that the mounting frame 5 is reset under its own elastic action. Then the staff pushes the new mounting block 6 into the corresponding mounting frame 5, and the limiting ridge 501 and the adjacent extrusion bevel are in contact. The upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 5 are in contact with the side surfaces 602, and under the guidance of the extrusion inclined surface 602, the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 5 are bent and deformed, so that the limiting ridges 501 are in contact with the side surfaces of the upper and lower sides of the mounting block 6 and slide along the side surfaces of the mounting block 6, and the limiting ridges 501 are in contact with the adjacent fastening inclined surfaces 604. Under the guidance of the fastening inclined surfaces 604 and the elastic resetting action of the mounting frame 5, the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 5 respectively drive the adjacent limiting ridges 501 into the corresponding limiting grooves 603, thereby completing the replacement of the mounting block 6.
