[0025] The utility model provides a bottle conveying tool.

[0026] The bottle conveying tooling of this embodiment includes a base plate 1, and two baffles 2 arranged opposite to each other, and at least one of the two baffles is an adjustment plate that can move relative to the base plate; a limit seat 3 is fixedly installed on the base plate, and a guide rail 4 is provided on the limit seat, and the direction of the guide rail is perpendicular to the baffle, and there is also an adjustment block 5 that moves along the guide rail, and the adjustment block is fixedly connected to the adjustment plate; a plurality of positioning holes 6 are arranged at intervals on the base plate or the limit seat in a direction parallel to the guide rail, and a positioning pin 7 that can be inserted into the positioning hole and a locking elastic member 8 that connects the positioning pin and applies a force to the positioning hole are installed on the adjustment block, and there is also an unlocking mechanism 9 that drives the positioning pin to withdraw from the positioning hole.

[0027] In the bottle conveying tooling, a positioning portion that counteracts each other is provided between the limit seat 3 and the adjustment plate or the adjustment block 5 to reduce the need for setting the positioning holes, reduce the volume of the tooling and the restrictions on the production line; a reset elastic member 10, such as a tension spring, is also provided between the limit seat 3 and the adjustment plate or the adjustment block 5. The deformation direction of the reset elastic member is parallel to the direction of the guide rail 4. After being unlocked by the unlocking mechanism, the reset elastic member can be moved to another positioning position driven by the reset elastic member, which can further improve the operating efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the bottle 100 is placed on the bottle conveying tooling, one of the baffles on the bottom plate is fixedly arranged, which can be fixedly installed on the bottom plate or integrally arranged with the bottom plate, and the other baffle is used as an adjustment plate, and the limit seat is preferably arranged on the outside of the adjustment plate, and a positioning hole is provided on the limit seat; at the same time, the side contacting between the limit seat and the adjustment plate is a positioning part, and the positioning hole and the positioning part are used as two limiting structures for positioning the position of the adjustment plate to form two adjustment positions to meet the conveying needs of the two bottles. When using a small-sized bottle, push the adjustment plate or the adjustment block toward the other baffle until the positioning pin is opposite to the positioning hole, and the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole under the action of the locking elastic member to form a positioning; when changing to a large-sized bottle, the positioning pin is unlocked from the positioning hole through the unlocking mechanism, and the adjustment plate and the adjustment block move back to the other baffle under the action of the tension spring until the positioning part between the adjustment plate and the limit seat is against each other, that is, the positioning for conveying large-sized bottles is formed.

[0029] The positioning hole of the bottle conveying tool can be set on the side of the limit seat, one end of the positioning pin can be inserted into the positioning hole, and the other end of the positioning pin passes through the adjustment block as a hand-held unlocking mechanism, or a hand-held rod is used as an unlocking mechanism to connect the positioning pin, and the staff pulls the unlocking mechanism outward to drive the positioning pin out of the positioning hole to achieve unlocking. Figure 3 As shown, a limiting groove is formed on the limit seat 3 in a direction perpendicular to the baffle 2. The limiting groove can be used as a guide rail 4, and a guide rail installed in the limiting groove is also provided to improve the guiding accuracy and stability; the unlocking mechanism 9 includes a button base 91 fixedly installed on the top of the limiting seat, and a button 92 installed on the button base movably up and down; the positioning hole 6 extends along the top of the limiting groove to the button base and is opposite to the button, and the top surface of the adjusting block 5 is provided with a downwardly concave positioning groove, and the positioning pin is arranged in the positioning groove. The locking elastic member 8 is a compression spring, which is installed in the positioning groove and one end of the compression spring is against the positioning pin, and a thrust is applied to the positioning pin to make the positioning pin stuck in the positioning hole. The positioning pin also lifts the button at the same time. When it is necessary to change production, press the button downward to make the positioning pin withdraw from the positioning hole range, and the adjusting block and the adjusting plate move outward rapidly under the action of the tension spring to complete the positioning for placing large-sized bottles. The operation is simple and fast, which further improves the production efficiency.

[0030] The utility model also provides a tooling conveying device.

[0031] The tooling conveying device of this embodiment includes a conveying line 20 for driving the bottle conveying tooling to move, and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the distance between two baffles on the bottle conveying tooling. The adjusting mechanism includes an enlarging adjusting mechanism 30 and a shrinking adjusting mechanism 40. The shrinking adjusting mechanism is opposite to the adjusting plate or the adjusting block 5 and exerts a force directed to the other baffle 2 on it through reciprocating motion. The enlarging adjusting mechanism is opposite to the unlocking mechanism 9 and drives the unlocking mechanism to drive the positioning pin 7 to exit the positioning hole 6.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the expansion adjustment mechanism 30 is a cylinder fixedly installed above the conveyor line 20, and the end of the cylinder is opposite to the button 92. When it is necessary to switch production, the cylinder extends downward and presses the button to make the positioning pin withdraw from the positioning hole range, and the tension spring pulls the adjustment block and the adjustment plate outward to complete the adjustment operation. This expansion adjustment mechanism has a simple structure and works quickly and stably. Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor line 20 is provided with an annular section for driving the bottle conveying tooling to flip, and the reducing adjustment mechanism 40 is a cylinder fixedly installed above the annular section, and the end of the cylinder is opposite to the adjustment block 5 or the adjustment plate.

In addition, the expansion adjustment mechanism and the reduction adjustment mechanism can also be other reciprocating mechanisms that can exert force on the adjustment plate, the adjustment block or the unlocking mechanism through reciprocating motion to meet different production needs.

[0033] The tooling conveying device uses an enlarging adjustment mechanism to push the adjustment plate or the adjustment block to reduce the distance between the two baffles, or uses a reducing adjustment mechanism to drive the unlocking mechanism to work and increase the distance between the two baffles to meet the conveying needs of large-sized bottles. An enlarging adjustment mechanism or a reducing adjustment mechanism can be set separately on the production line, and a sorting mechanism for adjusting the placement state of the bottle conveying tooling can be set at the input end of the conveying line. The sorting mechanism adjusts the messy tooling to a specific direction, and then the adjustment mechanism adjusts the distance between the baffles. The production line can also be set up with an enlarging adjustment mechanism and a reducing adjustment mechanism at the same time. For example, a circular conveying line is used, and the bottle conveying tooling is fixed on the circular conveying line. The enlarging adjustment mechanism and the reducing adjustment mechanism are set in the upstream section of the circular conveying line. The baffles of the tooling are adjusted to the required distance, and then used to load the bottles. After the bottles are output, they flow back to the upstream section along the circular conveying line to be re-adjusted when the production line needs to be installed.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
