[0035] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., are based on the directions or positions shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0036] This embodiment provides a bottle supporting device, which is used for filling liquid and installing workpieces. Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the bottle supporting device includes a guide member 10, a lifting mechanism 20 and a clamping member 30. The guide member 10 is vertically arranged at the installation position, the top end of the guide member 10 is the first station, and the bottom end of the guide member 10 is the second station; the lifting mechanism 20 is arranged on the outer periphery of the guide member 10, and the lifting mechanism 20 can slide between the first station and the second station along the axial direction of the guide member 10; the clamping member 30 is arranged on the top end of the lifting mechanism 20, and the clamping member 30 is used to clamp the workpiece. The lifting mechanism of the bottle supporting device can be between the first station and the second station, and can be filled at the first station and the workpiece can be installed at the second station, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0037] What needs to be explained here is that Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when the lifting mechanism 20 is at the highest point (i.e., the first station), the workpiece can be directly placed on the clamping member 30 for filling. When the lifting mechanism 20 is at the lowest point (the second station), the workpiece can be clamped on the clamping member 30 for cleaning. The lifting mechanism 20 can slide in the axial direction (i.e., the vertical direction) of the guide member 10, and the operation is simple and convenient. It is further explained that when the lifting mechanism 20 is in the first station, the workpiece clamped by the clamping member 30 is a beverage bottle, and the beverage bottle can be filled with beverages at this time; the lifting mechanism 20 is in the second station, and the clamping member 30 is at the bottom of the guide member 10, which is convenient for installing a dummy cup at the clamping port of the clamping member 30. At this time, the cleaning liquid can flow through the filling valve return pipe into the return system, thereby facilitating cleaning. In addition, a mounting plate is designed at the mounting position, one end of the guide member 10 can be fixed to the mounting plate, and the other end is detachably connected to a connecting plate 40, and the mounting position can fix the connecting plate 40, so that the device can be ensured to have a good fixing effect when in use.

[0038] In order to simplify the overall structure of the bottle supporting device, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the lifting mechanism 20 includes a first slider 21, a second slider 22, a connecting shaft 23, an adjustment assembly 24 and a limit member 25. The clamping member 30 is arranged at the top end of the first slider 21. One end of the connecting shaft 23 is connected to the second slider 22, and the other end passes through the top end of the first slider 21. The first slider 21 can slide along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 23. The limit member 25 can limit the first slider 21 to the first station and the second station; the adjustment assembly 24 is arranged on the second slider 22, and the adjustment assembly 24 can make the second slider 22 slide between the first station and the second station.

[0039] This structure can drive the second slider 22 to move in the vertical direction through the adjustment component 24, and can stay in a suitable position (the first station or the second station). The connecting shaft 23 is detachably connected to the second slider 22 by the bolt 27, so the second slider 22 can drive the connecting shaft 23 to rise or fall together. Since the first slider 21 can move along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 23, when the second slider 22 descends to the second station, the first slider 21 can also descend again along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 23 until the bottom end surface of the first slider 21 abuts against the top end surface of the second slider 22. The limiter 25 can fix the first slider 21 at the first station or the second station, thereby ensuring that the clamping member 30 will not move up and down when the beverage bottle is filled or the dummy cup is installed for cleaning, thereby ensuring the stability during filling or cleaning. It should be noted here that at least two guide members 10 are arranged at intervals, and the connecting shaft 23 is arranged between two adjacent guide members 10. In this embodiment, two guide members 10 are provided, which can ensure that the lifting mechanism 20 always slides in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the number of guide members 10 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no other limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0040] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the structures of the second slider 22 and the adjustment assembly 24 are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, by rotating the rotating wheel 241, the second slider 22 can be driven to rise or fall, thereby ensuring convenience. It is further explained that the adjustment component 24 can use any structure consisting of a driving shaft, a driven shaft, a connecting rod and a slider to convert rotational motion into linear motion (capable of driving the second slider 22 to rise or fall and fixing the second slider 22), and no specific type is limited in this embodiment.

[0041] To facilitate the use of the limiting member 25 to fix the first slider 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting shaft 23 is provided with a limit hole in the radial direction, and the limit member 25 can extend into the limit hole so that the first slider 21 is limited to the first position or the second position. When the lifting mechanism is in the first position, the limit member 25 is inserted into the limit hole, and the bottom end surface of the first slider 21 abuts against the limit member 25. At this time, the limit member 25 can support the first slider 21; when the lifting mechanism needs to move to the second position, the second slider 22 is first moved to the bottom end of the guide member 10 through the adjustment component 24, and the limit member 25 is removed. At this time, the first slider 21 loses the support of the limit member 25 and slides downward in the vertical direction until its bottom end surface abuts against the top end surface of the second slider 22, and then the limit member 25 is inserted into the limit hole. At this time, the limit member 25 fixes the first slider 21 from the top, thereby ensuring that the first slider will not move upward during cleaning. The operation is simple and convenient, and the use effect is good.

[0042] To further ensure the fixing effect of the limit pin 25, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top end of the connecting shaft 23 is provided with a mounting hole inwardly along the axial direction, the mounting hole is connected to the limiting hole, a clamping assembly 26 is provided in the mounting hole, one end of the clamping assembly 26 can extend into the limiting hole and abut against the outer periphery of the limiting member 25, so that the limiting member 25 is fixed. This structure enables the clamping assembly 26 to extend into and abut against the limiting member 25 through the mounting hole after the limiting member 25 is inserted into the limiting hole, so as to prevent the limiting member 25 from falling out of the limiting hole. However, this arrangement has the problem of inconvenience in removing the limiting member 25.

[0043] To solve the above technical problems, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the clamping assembly 26 includes a blocking member 261, an elastic member 262 and a clamping member 263. The blocking member 261 is fixed to the top of the mounting hole, the clamping member 263 is located at the bottom of the mounting hole, and only the end of the clamping member 263 extends out of the mounting hole. The two ends of the elastic member 262 are respectively abutted or connected to the blocking member 261 and the elastic member 262. This arrangement can ensure that when the limiting member 25 needs to be taken out, the elastic member 262 can be compressed so that the limiting member 25 can be taken out smoothly. When the limiting member 25 is abutted against the end of the clamping member 263, the clamping member 263 can compress the elastic member 262 so that the limiting member 25 can extend into the limiting hole. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 262 pushes the clamping member 263 to abut against the outer periphery of the limiting member 25, thereby fixing the limiting member 25.

[0044] To further ensure that the clamping member 263 and the limiting member 25 can produce a better fixing effect, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limit member 25 is provided with an arc-shaped clamping groove 251 along the circumferential direction, and the end of the clamping member 263 is arc-shaped, and the clamping member 263 can be correspondingly clamped into the arc-shaped clamping groove 251. This structure can ensure that the end of the clamping member 263 is correspondingly clamped with the arc-shaped clamping groove 251, thereby ensuring a good clamping effect, and the limit member 25 will not fall off from the limit hole without the action of external tension. In addition, when it is necessary to take out the limit member 25, it is only necessary to pull the limit member 25. At this time, the arc-shaped clamping groove 251 can abut the end of the clamping member 263 and give the clamping member 263 a component force in the vertical upward direction. This component force can compress the elastic member 262 so that the clamping member 263 can be retracted into the mounting hole, and the limit member 25 can be smoothly pulled out.

[0045] It should be noted that the elastic member 262 is a spring, which has a simple structure, low price, good elasticity, and is easy to produce and install. Figure 5 As shown, a guide portion 252 is provided at one end of the limit member 25, and a pull ring 253 is provided at the other end. The guide portion 252 is chamfered, that is, the diameter of the guide portion 252 gradually decreases toward one end thereof, thereby ensuring that the guide portion 252 can be smoothly inserted into the limit hole, and can push the clamping member 263 to move vertically upward and compress the spring when it abuts against the end of the clamping member 263 extending out of the mounting hole, and the limit member 25 can be smoothly inserted into the limit hole. When the limit member 25 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to pull the pull ring 253, which is more labor-saving and convenient, and has a stronger sense of use experience.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the blocking member 261 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole; one end of the blocking member 261 away from the elastic member 262 is located outside the connecting shaft 23, and a limiting portion 264 is provided at the end, and the diameter of the limiting portion 264 is larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft 23, so that the first slider 21 cannot be separated from the end of the connecting shaft 23 away from the second slider 22. In this arrangement, the blocking member 261 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole (detachable connection), which can not only ensure its fixing effect, but also facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement of parts; in addition, the limiting portion 264 is provided at one end of the blocking member 261 located outside the mounting hole, which ensures that the first slider 21 will not be separated from the end of the connecting shaft 23 where the second slider 22 is not provided, thereby ensuring that the first slider 21 will not fall when the first slider 21 is manually pushed, thereby ensuring safety in use.

[0047] It should be noted here that the clamping member 30 is detachably connected to the top of the first slider 21 of the lifting mechanism 20, so as to facilitate the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the clamping member 30 or the first slider 21. The clamping member 30 is composed of two clamping pieces, each of which is provided with an arc-shaped clamping notch. The two clamping pieces are detachably connected to the top of the first slider 21, and the arc-shaped clamping notches of the two clamping pieces are opposite to each other so as to clamp the workpiece. When one of them needs to be replaced, it can be disassembled.

[0048] The following is a description of the use process of the bottle supporting device in this embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0049] First, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when filling is required, the adjustment assembly 24 is used to move the lifting structure 20 to the first station, and the first slider 21 is fixed from the bottom end of the first slider 21 by the stopper 25, and the beverage bottle is clamped by the clamp 30 for filling;

[0050] Secondly, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when cleaning is required, the adjustment component 24 is used to move the lifting mechanism 20 to the second station, and the limit member 25 is pulled out to allow the first slider 21 to slide until its bottom end surface abuts against the upper end surface of the second slider 22, and then the limit member 25 is inserted into the limit hole, the first slider 21 is fixed between the limit member 21 and the second slider 22, and the clamping member 30 is used to clamp the fake cup for cleaning.

[0051] In summary, the bottle supporting device in this embodiment is not only simple in structure but also smooth in operation, and the process of installing the dummy cup to complete the cleaning is more convenient.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here.
