[0002] In the filling process of packaging bottles, it is necessary to transfer the empty bottles conveyed by the bottle feeding line to the filling equipment through the bottle transfer equipment for bottle filling work. The existing bottle transfer equipment transfers the empty bottles on the bottle feeding line to the empty bottle filling position one by one through equipment such as core wheels. However, the core wheel in the prior art is a rotating wheel that rotates in the horizontal direction along its circumferential direction. A plurality of uniformly arranged limiting grooves are uniformly provided on the outer contour edge of the rotating wheel, and the empty bottles are transferred to the filling station of the filling machine one by one through the limiting grooves, so as to perform the filling process of the packaging bottles.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned bottle transfer equipment in the prior art cannot be used for flexible production lines. Flexible production lines can adjust the product types according to production needs. For example, large wineries have a variety of differentiated products, and these differentiated products often require different-shaped and different-sized differentiated bottles for wine solution filling work. In the above process, it is necessary to have a bottle transfer equipment that can adapt to different bottles to complete the work of transferring the empty bottles conveyed by the bottle feeding line to the filling equipment. Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need a new suspension bottle transfer equipment for feeding bottles to a filling machine to solve the problem that the existing bottle transfer equipment cannot adapt to different types of bottles.

Figure 6The figure shows a schematic diagram of the positions of the driving wheel inside the sliding mechanism and the magnetic part of the sliding mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention. During the sliding process of the sliding mechanism on the sliding track 1 and when the gripper of the filling machine 3 grabs the bottle body, the sliding mechanism will have a positional shake. In order to avoid problems such as damage to the bottle body or the equipment during the movement of the bottle body, the present invention provides the following suspension driving mechanism. The first sliding mechanism 4 and the second sliding mechanism 7 are both driven by the suspension driving mechanism to slide on the sliding track 1; the sliding track 1 is a closed elliptical track, so that the first sliding mechanism 4 and the second sliding mechanism 7 slide and reset along the circumferential direction of the sliding track 1. The suspension driving mechanism includes: a driving wheel 18 and a magnetic part 19 of the sliding mechanism; the driving wheel 18 is used to drive the sliding mechanism to move, and there is a floating space between the driving wheel 18 and the sliding track 1; the magnetic part 19 of the sliding mechanism corresponds to the magnetic part 20 on the sliding track 1 and generates a repulsive magnetic force between the two, so that there is a floating gap between the sliding mechanism and the sliding track 1, ensuring that the gripper of the filling machine 3 will not damage the bottle body and the equipment when grabbing the bottle body.

[0083] Further, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the sliding mechanism is a C-shaped structure and is floatingly slidably connected to the sliding track 1 through its inner cavity; the magnetic part 19 of the sliding mechanism is arranged at the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity opening of the sliding mechanism, and the driving wheel 18 is arranged at the inner side position of the inner cavity of the sliding mechanism; the magnetic parts 20 of the sliding track 1 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the sliding track 1 respectively on the horizontal plane of the outer periphery of the sliding track 1. The C-shaped sliding mechanism can be stably and firmly connected with the sliding track 1. Moreover, the magnetic part 19 of the sliding mechanism is arranged at the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity opening of the sliding mechanism, and the magnetic part 20 of the track is arranged at the upper and lower sides of the sliding track 1.

[0086] Moreover, a power source for driving the two rows of driving wheels 18 to rotate synchronously is further arranged on the sliding mechanism; the power source drives the plurality of driving wheels 18 to rotate synchronously through a motor. Of course, the driving mode of the driving wheels 18 in this embodiment is not specifically limited, and the plurality of driving wheels 18 can also be driven by independently arranged driving motors to realize the position driving of the first sliding mechanism 4 and the second sliding mechanism 7.

[0087] Further, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 6 shown in the schematic diagram of the positions of the driving wheels inside the sliding mechanism and the magnetic part of the sliding mechanism. A limiting plate 22 corresponding to the bottom of the sliding track 1 is further arranged on the sliding mechanism. The limiting plate 22 is used for the sliding mechanism to slide in the vertical direction and disengage from the sliding track 1 when the gripper of the filling machine 3 grabs the bottle body.

[0088] Embodiment 2

[0089] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7 shows the schematic connection structure of the suspension bottle feeding device and the filling machine in the embodiment of the present invention. The filling production line includes: the suspension bottle feeding device for feeding bottles to the filling machine described in Embodiment 1; and, the filling machine 3.

[0090] A method for using a filling production line includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S1, the suspension bottle feeding device detects that an empty bottle body is transferred from the bottle feeding line 2 to the working position of the suspension bottle feeding device; under the position indication of the visual sensor, the first sliding mechanism 4 and the second sliding mechanism 7 of the suspension bottle feeding device move towards each other and clamp the bottle body through the mutually cooperating bottle body positioning cross bar 5 and bottle body positioning vertical bar 8;

[0092] Step S2, the first sliding mechanism 4 and the second sliding mechanism 7 rotate synchronously, driving the bottle body to move to the position of the filling machine 3; the gripper of the filling machine 3 grabs the empty 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 1;

[0093] Step S3, the filling machine 3 fills the bottle body and transfers it to the filling discharge line.

[0094] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
