TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stacking structure, and particularly discloses a stacking structure for beer bottles. BACKGROUND
[0002] The beer bottle stacking machine is a high-tech equipment integrating mechanical, electrical and automatic control. The clamping mechanism on the stacking machine, also known as an end effector, is a core component directly contacting the beer bottles. The mechanical clamping mechanism is the most common and reliable way, which mainly realizes clamping and loosening of the beer bottles through mechanical action. The driving and movement system drives the end effector to move above the regularly placed beer bottles, and then moves downward to clamp the beer bottles. The clamping position is usually located on the surface of the outer beer bottles, and the inner beer bottles are clamped by the pressure between the bottle bodies. However, the clamping weight is limited and the stability is not high.
[0003] The clamping position of the air bag type clamping mechanism is located below the bottle opening. The air bag piece moves from the top to the position between the adjacent beer bottle openings, and clamps the beer bottles by inflating the air bag. At this time, the air bag can clamp each beer bottle at the same time, and the stability is high. However, the surface of the air bag is gradually worn and aged due to frequent friction with the hard material of glass, and cracks are easy to appear. Once a certain air bag is damaged, the balance and pressure distribution of the entire clamping head will be destroyed, and it must be stopped for replacement. In addition, the air bag clamping is usually only applicable to "bare bottle" stacking. For full bottles that have been filled and capped, the weight is greatly increased, and the requirement for clamping force is higher. Therefore, the risk of bottle explosion and falling increases exponentially. At the same time, the clamping method of the air bag needs to ensure that the distance between the bottles is large enough to prevent the air bags from interfering or extruding the adjacent bottles, which limits the density and flexibility of the stacking.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a stacking structure for beer bottles that can clamp full bottles and has higher clamping stability. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0030] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] Figure 1 Disclosed is a stacking structure for beer bottles, which is designed to simultaneously clamp and transport multiple beer bottles arranged in a rectangular row to be neat to a stacking position for stacking, comprising a plurality of clamping assemblies 2 and a driving structure (not shown in the figure) for driving the clamping assemblies 2 to move, the clamping assemblies 2 are divided into two groups, the clamping assemblies 2 in the same horizontal plane form a group, the two groups of clamping assemblies 2 are placed along the axial direction of the beer bottles, and the clamping assemblies 2 in the lower group are arranged between the adjacent rows of beer bottles, and the clamping assemblies 2 are also arranged at the front end of the first row and the rear end of the last row, then the clamping assemblies 2 in the upper group are arranged between the adjacent columns of beer bottles, and similarly, the clamping assemblies 2 are also arranged at the front end of the first column and the rear end of the last column, at this time, when clamping, the state shown in Figure 2 is formed.
[0032] At this time, four clamping points will be generated on the surface of the beer bottles, providing higher and more stable clamping force, so that the beer bottles with large weight and full filling can be clamped and transported, and at the same time, the stability during transportation can be ensured.
[0033] The connecting rods one 1 are fixedly connected between the plurality of clamping assemblies 2, so that the clamping assemblies 2 in the same group are integrated, the surface of the clamping assemblies 2 in the group is fixedly connected with the mounting rod one 3, the mounting rod one 3 is fixedly mounted with the driving structure, and the moving paths of the two groups of clamping assemblies 2 are that the clamping assemblies 2 in the lower group are first moved to the clamping positions of the bottle mouths of the beer bottles, and then the clamping assemblies 2 in the upper group are also moved to the clamping positions of the bottle mouths of the beer bottles, and the two groups of clamping assemblies 2 simultaneously act on the beer bottles to clamp the beer bottles.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3-9 , taking one group of clamping assemblies 2 as an example, the clamping assembly 2 comprises a mounting frame 21 for supporting and fixing, the mounting frames 21 are fixedly connected through the connecting rods one 1, the surface of the mounting frame 21 is rotatably connected with two clamping plates 22, when clamping is needed, the two clamping plates 22 rotate in opposite directions, the surface of the clamping assembly 2 is provided with a pressing assembly 4 for driving the two clamping plates 22 to simultaneously rotate, the pressing assembly 4 moves to make the clamping plates 22 rotate, one side of the clamping plate 22 rotates against the surface of one side of the beer bottle, and the other side of the clamping plate 22 rotates against the surface of the other side of the beer bottle, to form a clamping state as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 .
[0035] The end portions of the clamping plates 22 are fixedly mounted with rotating shafts 5, the end portions of the rotating shafts 5 are rotatably mounted in the mounting frame 21, the surface of the rotating shaft 5 is sleeved with a torsional spring 6, one end of the torsional spring 6 is fixed in the mounting frame 21, and the other end of the torsional spring 6 is fixed on the surface of the clamping plate 22, and it needs to be noted that the initial state of the torsional spring 6 is that the clamping plate 22 is in a completely vertical state, so as to facilitate the clamping assembly 2 to be placed between adjacent beer bottles.
[0036] The pressing assembly 4 comprises strip-shaped pressing blocks 41 between the two clamping plates 22, a plurality of the pressing blocks 41 are fixedly connected through the connecting rods two 42, at this time, the pressing assembly 4 is located at the lower layer of the clamping assembly 2, the upper surface of the pressing block 41 is provided with a mounting rod two 43 for driving the pressing assembly 4 to move longitudinally, the mounting rod two 43 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the driving structure, the mounting rod two 43 moves upward to simultaneously press the two clamping plates 22, and the clamping plates 22 rotate against the surface of the beer bottle to clamp the beer bottle.
[0037] At this time, the extrusion of the clamping plate 22 to the beer bottle is a hard contact clamping, thereby further improving the stability in the clamping and transporting process. In order to prevent the clamping plate 22 from causing great damage to the beer bottle, a rubber protective sleeve 7 is sleeved and installed at the end of the clamping plate 22. The protective sleeve 7 is attached to the end of the clamping plate 22. A plurality of through circular holes 8 are formed in the surface of the protective sleeve 7. A plurality of mounting holes 9 corresponding to the circular holes 8 are formed in the surface of the clamping plate 22. A fixed shaft 10 is arranged in the mounting hole 9.
[0038] As shown in Figures 10-12 , for the beer bottles with small spacing, the number of clamping plates 22 is one. When the clamping plate 22 is in a completely vertical state, it can be placed between adjacent beer bottles to avoid interference between the clamping plates 22. The shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the two sides. At this time, when the clamping plate 22 rotates, the two sides of the clamping plate 22 are respectively abutted against the surfaces of adjacent beer bottles. At this time, the shaft 5 extends to the outside of the mounting frame 21. The end of the shaft 5 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 11. At this time, the extrusion block 41 is abutted against the surface of the adjacent connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 rotates to drive the clamping plate 22 to rotate through the shaft 5, thereby realizing the clamping and transporting of the beer bottles.
[0039] In the present application, the two sides of each row of beer bottles are provided with clamping plates 22. When the clamping plate 22 rotates, the edge thereof is abutted against the surface of the beer bottle. The clamping of the clamping plate 22 to the beer bottle is a hard fixed clamping, which can ensure higher stability and stronger clamping force during clamping. The two sides of each column of beer bottles are also provided with the same clamping plates 22. At this time, for each individual beer bottle, the surface thereof has two clamping points on the upper layer and two clamping points on the lower layer, thereby forming four clamping points on the surface of the beer bottle, thereby improving the stability of the clamping assembly 2 in clamping the beer bottles. Therefore, the beer bottles with large weight and full filling can be clamped and transported. It should be specially noted that the present application can set one or two clamping plates 22 to clamp the beer bottles according to the size of the bottle opening spacing and the weight of the beer bottle. When the bottle opening spacing of the beer bottle is small or the weight of the beer bottle is small, one clamping plate 22 is selected to clamp the beer bottle by using the two edges of the clamping plate 22. The clamping plates 22 will not interfere with each other. When the bottle opening spacing of the beer bottle is large or the weight of the beer bottle is large, two clamping plates 22 are selected to clamp the beer bottle. The clamping plates 22 will not interfere with each other. At this time, four clamping points are formed on the surface of the beer bottle. Compared with the clamping on the two sides of the air bag, the stability of the four clamping points is higher, and the beer bottles with larger weight, such as the beer bottles in full filling state, can be clamped and transported.
