[0028] A method of using a filling production line for a filling production line with a suspended bottle feeding device, comprising the following steps:

[0029] Step S1, the suspended bottle feeding device detects that an empty bottle body is transferred from the bottle body feeding line to the working position of the suspended bottle feeding device; the first sliding mechanism and the second sliding mechanism of the suspended bottle feeding device move towards each other under the position indication of the vision sensor and clamp the bottle body through the mutually cooperating bottle body positioning cross bar and bottle body positioning vertical bar;

[0030] Step S2, the first sliding mechanism and the second sliding mechanism rotate synchronously to drive the glass bottle body to move to the position of the filling device; the bottle body fixing jaw of the filling device grabs the empty glass bottle body, and during this process, the position offset distance generated by the sliding mechanism is filled through the floating gap between the sliding mechanism and the sliding track;

[0031] Step S3, the bottle body fixing jaw of the filling device grabs the glass bottle body. In this step, the clamping air bag and positioning air rod of the bottle body fixing jaw are inflated to fix the glass bottle body; then, the filling device fills the glass bottle body with liquid, and the bottle body is transferred to the filling discharge line through the bottle body removal mechanism.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0033] 1. The filling device provided by the present invention includes: a filling tank for storing a fluid medium to be filled; a rotating disk sleeved on the outer circumference of the filling tank, and the rotating disk is driven to rotate around the circumferential direction of the filling tank; a bottle body filling nozzle, with a plurality of the bottle body filling nozzles arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating disk; a bottle body fixing jaw, which is arranged on the rotating disk, and each bottle body filling nozzle is provided with a corresponding bottle body fixing jaw; the opening degree of the bottle body fixing jaw is adjusted according to the cross-sectional size of the glass bottle body to clamp and fix glass bottle bodies of different models.

[0034] In the present invention, a rotating disk that rotates relative to it is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the filling tank. The bottle body filling nozzle and the bottle body fixing jaw are fixed on the above-mentioned rotating disk, so that the bottle body filling nozzle and the bottle body fixing jaw rotate in the circumferential direction of the filling tank and correspond to the suspended bottle feeding device, so as to clamp the empty bottles transferred by the suspended bottle feeding device. During the process of clamping and fixing the empty bottles and filling the solution, in order to enable the bottle body fixing jaw to meet the different shapes, sizes and other differential characteristics of the bottles in the flexible production line, the opening degree of the bottle body fixing jaw in the present invention is adjusted according to the cross-sectional size of the glass bottle body, so as to clamp and fix bottles of different models.

[0035] 2. The filling equipment provided by the present invention, the bottle body fixing jaw includes: an annular clamp, a tightening airbag arranged at the movable end position of the annular clamp, and a positioning air rod arranged at the fixed end position of the annular clamp; the tightening airbag and the positioning air rod are communicated with an air charging and discharging component; the positioning air rod is arranged in the vertical direction of the plane where the annular clamp is located;

[0036] When the bottle body fixing jaw clamps the glass bottle body, the tightening airbag is inflated to push the glass bottle body to tightly abut against the fixed end position of the annular clamp, and at the same time the positioning air rod is inflated to abut against the side wall length direction position of the glass bottle body to fix the glass bottle body.

[0037] In the present invention, a tightening airbag is arranged at the movable end position of the bottle body fixing jaw that is driven to open and close. The above-mentioned tightening airbag can be controlled to charge and discharge air. When the bottle body fixing jaw clamps a special-shaped glass bottle body, the two tightening airbags on the same bottle body fixing jaw can have different inflation amounts, so as to better fix the special-shaped glass bottle body. In addition, the tightening airbag can also change the inflation amount of the airbag according to the shape of the bottle body, so that the bottle body is far away from the above-mentioned movable end position, preventing the bottle body from detaching from the bottle body fixing jaw at the movable end position.

[0038] Furthermore, the present invention also records that a positioning air rod is also arranged at the fixed end position of the annular clamp. The above-mentioned positioning air rod is arranged along the length direction of the glass bottle body in the inflated state and is attached to the side wall of the glass bottle body. Through the above-mentioned positioning air rod, it can effectively prevent the middle and lower sides of the glass bottle body from shaking during the process of being clamped and fixed and transferred by the bottle body fixing jaw, ensuring the stable progress of the filling and transfer work of the bottle body. Moreover, the above-mentioned tightening airbag can also push the bottle body to the side close to the positioning air rod, thereby improving the contact firmness between the positioning air rod and the bottle body.

The filling equipment provided by the present invention, a pressure sensor is also arranged in the tightening airbag and / or the positioning air rod; the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure in the airbag so that the tightening airbag and / or the positioning air rod are tightly attached to the glass bottle body.

[0040] In the present invention, by arranging a pressure sensor in the tightening airbag and the positioning air rod, the pressure of the tightening airbag and the positioning air rod can be detected in real time, so as to calculate whether the inflation amounts of the two are appropriate through a computer, ensuring the effective fixation of the glass bottle body. Moreover, the tightening airbag and the positioning air rod in the present invention are more suitable for the glass bottle body, and the glass bottle body can withstand a relatively greater pressure, thereby ensuring that the bottle body fixing jaw can tightly fix the bottle body.

[0041] 4. The filling device provided by the present invention has a positioning air rod fixed at the fixed end position and inclined 2 to 5 degrees towards the center of the annular clamp; and, on the side of the positioning air rod away from the fixed end position, there is also an annular protrusion.

[0042] In the present invention, the positioning air rod is set such that one end away from the fixed end position is inclined towards the center of the annular clamp. The above structural setting allows the positioning air rod to fit more closely to the side wall of the glass bottle body.
