Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bottle washing equipment, in particular to a clamping and turning device of a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the cleaning equipment, the bottle needs to be turned over so that the bottle mouth faces downward to effectively complete the cleaning work inside the bottle.

[0003] At present, most of the cleaning equipment clamps the bottle by a clamp. The clamp itself does not have the function of flipping. Instead, the entire clamp is flipped by a circular guide rail during the bottle conveying process to flip the bottle. This method requires a large turning radius to flip the bottle, which occupies more space and workstations. At the same time, when a chain is used as a conveyor line, the bottle cannot be flipped in this way because the clamp is fixed on the chain. For this reason, we provide a clamping and flipping device for a cleaning machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1 — Figure 6 The embodiment shown.

[0027] A clamping and flipping device for a cleaning machine comprises a frame 1, on which a circumferentially rotating conveying line is mounted, on which a plurality of connecting plates 9 are mounted, on each of which a clamping structure 5 for clamping bottles is rotatably mounted, one side of the connecting plate 9 is provided with a driving member 6 for rotation, and a flipping transmission plate 7 for driving the clamping end of the clamping structure 5 to rotate is mounted at the rotating end of the driving member 6.

[0028] See also Figure 1 As shown, the clamping structure 5 and the bottle clamped by it are conveyed to the position of the flip transmission plate 7 through the conveyor line. At this time, the clamping end of the clamping structure 5 cooperates with the flip transmission plate 7. Specifically, the clamping end of the clamping structure 5 is clamped with the flip transmission plate 7, and then the driving member 6 is started to drive the flip transmission plate 7 to rotate. At this time, the clamping structure 5 rotates compared to the connecting plate 9, so that the bottle mouth clamped by the clamping structure 5 faces downward, meeting the requirements of the bottle mouth orientation for cleaning.

[0029] The conveyor line includes two rotating shafts 2 installed on the frame 1, each of the rotating shafts 2 is installed with a sprocket 3, each of the chains 4 is evenly spaced and installed on the sprocket 3, and also includes a motor that drives one of the rotating shafts 2 to rotate; the driving member 6 is a rotary cylinder or a servo motor.

[0030] In this embodiment, the clamping structure 5 has a plurality of evenly spaced fixed structures installed on the chain 4. The clamping structure 5 and the bottle clamped by it rotate together with the chain 4. In the initial state, the bottle mouth faces upward.

[0031] See also Figure 1 As shown, the motor starts to drive one of the rotating shafts 2 to rotate, thereby driving the sprocket 3 to rotate and causing the chain 4 to rotate, and then causing the clamping structure 5 that clamps the bottle to rotate. When the direction of the bottle mouth needs to be adjusted, that is, when the bottle mouth needs to face downward, the motor is first started to drive the chain 4 to rotate, so that the clamping structure 5 that clamps the bottle rotates to the position of the flip transmission plate 7. At this time, the clamping end of the clamping structure 5 cooperates with the flip transmission plate 7, and drives the clamping structure 5 and the bottle to rotate under the drive of the driving member 6, so that the bottle mouth faces downward, completing the flip.

[0032] In this embodiment, the driving member 6 that drives the flip transmission plate 7 to rotate is a rotating cylinder. In this application, the driving member 6 can also be a servo motor. The specific components of the driving member 6 are not specifically limited here, that is, any component that can drive the flip transmission plate 7 to rotate accurately to a corresponding angle can be used.

[0033] In the present application, two sprockets 3 are installed on each rotating shaft 2 and are distributed up and down, and a chain 4 is installed between each layer of sprockets 3, that is, Figure 1As shown, there are two layers of chains 4 , and the connecting plates 9 are fixedly mounted on the two layers of chains 4 .

[0034] The clamping structure 5 includes a first bearing seat 51 fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 9, a second bearing seat 52 is rotatably mounted inside the first bearing seat 51, a mounting plate 54 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the second bearing seat 52, two symmetrically arranged hinged plates 55 are fixedly mounted on the end face of the mounting plate 54 away from the second bearing seat 52, a connecting rod structure 56 for clamping is installed between the two hinged plates 55, a clamping block 57 adapted to the bottle is installed at the clamping end of the connecting rod structure 56, a transmission shaft 53 is slidably mounted inside the second bearing seat 52, and a spring 58 is sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 53 to provide clamping force for the connecting rod structure 56.

[0035] The connecting rod structure 56 includes a transmission block 561 fixedly mounted on the end of the transmission shaft 53, and two connecting rods 562 are hingedly mounted on the transmission block 561. The ends of the two connecting rods 562 are hingedly mounted with clamping rods 563. The two clamping rods 563 are hinged to each other through a hinge axis, and the hinge axis is rotationally connected to the two hinge plates 55 located in the upper and lower directions thereof. The two clamping blocks 57 are respectively fixedly mounted on the side surfaces of the clamping ends of the two clamping rods 563 that are close to each other.

[0036] See also Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the bottle needs to be clamped before it is turned over. Specifically, the transmission shaft 53 is first driven manually or by other components to move in a direction away from the clamping block 57. At this time, the transmission shaft 53 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 58 to drive the transmission block 561 to move, and then the ends of the two clamping rods 563 are moved away from each other under the transmission of the connecting rod 562, thereby also driving the two clamping blocks 57 to move away from each other and open, so that the distance between the two clamping blocks 57 can allow the clamping position of the bottle to enter. When the clamping position of the bottle is placed between the two clamping blocks 57, the movement of the transmission shaft 53 is released. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 58, the transmission block 561 moves toward the bottle, and under the transmission of the connecting rod 562, the ends of the two clamping rods 563 and the two clamping blocks 57 are moved closer to each other, thereby clamping the bottle located between the two clamping blocks 57, completing the clamping of the bottle.

[0037] See also Figure 3As shown, a bearing is arranged between the first bearing seat 51 and the second bearing seat 52, and the two can rotate relative to each other through the bearing. Specifically, since the driving member 6 transmits power to the clamping rod 563 by flipping the transmission plate 7, the power transmitted through the clamping rod 563 will further transmit the power to the hinge plate 55 and the power transmitted through the connecting rod 562 will transmit the power to the transmission block 561, so that the power transmitted to the hinge plate 55 and the transmission block 561 causes the second bearing seat 52 and the transmission shaft 53 to rotate relative to the first bearing seat 51, so that the rotation direction will not be restricted.

[0038] The second bearing seat 52 includes a seat body 521 , in which a sliding hole 522 slidably connected to the transmission shaft 53 is formed. A step surface 523 abutting against the end of the spring 58 is disposed inside the sliding hole 522 .

[0039] See also Figures 2 to 5 As shown, one end of the spring 58 abuts against the transmission block 561, and the other end abuts against the step surface 523, that is, the spring 58 is located between the transmission block 561 and the step surface 523, and the power is transmitted to the transmission block 561 through the spring 58 and the bottle is clamped through the transmission of the connecting rod 562 and the clamping rod 563.

[0040] The flip transmission plate 7 includes a flip plate body 71 fixedly mounted on the rotating end of the driving member 6, and a limiting groove 72 is provided inside the flip plate body 71. When flipping, the clamping end of the clamping structure 5 is located inside the limiting groove 72, and the end surface of the flip plate body 71 away from the driving member 6 is set as an arc surface 73.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, when rotating, the end of the clamping rod 563 is located in the limiting groove 72, and the end of the clamping rod 563 is clamped with the limiting groove 72. As the driving member 6 drives the flip plate 71 to rotate, the clamping rod 563 is also driven under the clamping transmission of the limiting groove 72 and the clamping rod 563, thereby driving the bottle clamped by the clamping rod 563 to rotate so that the bottle mouth faces downward. In order to facilitate the smooth rotation transition of the clamped bottle and prevent the bottle from colliding and squeezing with the flip plate 71, the end face of the flip plate 71 is set to an arc surface 73, so that the chain 4 can drive the bottle to rotate circumferentially.

[0042] The frame 1 is provided with a mounting seat 8 for mounting the driving member 6 , and the mounting seat 8 includes a base 81 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the frame 1 , and at least one column 82 is fixedly mounted on the base 81 , and a mounting frame 83 is fixedly mounted on the top of the column 82 .

[0043] See also Figure 6As shown, the mounting frame 83 has a certain height through the column 82, so that the driving member 6 installed on the mounting frame 83 can meet the height requirement.

[0044] The working process of the utility model is as follows: first, the bottle is clamped by the clamping structure 5, and the driving motor drives the clamping structure 5 and the bottle clamped by it to rotate to the position of the overturning transmission plate 7 through the transmission power of the rotating shaft 2, the sprocket 3 and the chain 4. At this time, the clamping rod 563 in the clamping structure 5 cooperates with the limiting groove 72 in the overturning transmission plate 7, and the starting driving member 6 drives the overturning plate body 71 in the overturning transmission plate 7 to rotate. Through the cooperation transmission between the limiting groove 72 and the clamping rod 563, the clamping structure 5 and the bottle clamped by it are driven to rotate, so that the bottle mouth faces downward, and the bottle is overturned to meet the requirements of bottle cleaning.
