[0022] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a special-shaped clamp for a food filling machine includes a fixing base 1, a fixing groove 2 is opened in the middle of the upper end of the fixing base 1, a heart-shaped container 3 is arranged in the fixing groove 2, and a tapered groove 4 is opened in the middle of the bottom end of the fixing groove 2. The tip of the heart-shaped container 3 is inserted into the tapered groove 4 to preliminarily position and fix the heart-shaped container 3.

[0024] A sliding groove 5 is provided at the bottom end of the fixed groove 2 near the front and rear sides of the conical groove 4. A driving chamber 6 is provided at the lower end of the sliding groove 5. The internal rotation of the driving chamber 6 is connected with a bidirectional threaded rod 7. The middle part of the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 7 is fixedly connected with a first bevel gear 8. The bottom end of the driving chamber 6 is fixedly installed with a motor 9. The output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected with a second bevel gear 10. The second bevel gear 10 is meshed with the first bevel gear 8. The outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected with two symmetrically distributed sliders 11. The slider 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 5. The upper end of the slider 11 is fixedly connected to a first push plate 12. The inner side of the first push plate 12 is fixedly connected with a first damping spring 13. The other end of the first damping spring 13 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 14.

[0025] Furthermore, the motor 9 drives the second bevel gear 10 to rotate, which can drive the first bevel gear 8 and the bidirectional threaded rod 7 to rotate, so that the two sliders 11 drive the two limit plates 14 to approach each other to clamp the front and back sides of the heart-shaped container 3.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting plate 14 is heart-shaped. The heart-shaped limiting plate 14 can better match the shape of the container, ensuring that the clamping force is more evenly distributed on both sides of the container.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, mounting grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the fixing groove 2, and an electric push rod 16 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 15. The output end of the electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to a second push plate 17, and the lower end of the second push plate 17 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the fixing groove 2.

[0028] Furthermore, a second damping spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second push plate 17, and the other end of the second damping spring 18 is fixedly connected to a side clamping plate 19. The electric push rod 16 pushes the left and right side clamping plates 19 closer to each other to fix the left and right sides of the heart-shaped container 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the inner side of the side clamping plate 19 is a curved arc surface, which can fit tightly with the side surface of the heart-shaped container 3, making the clamping more stable.

[0030] Furthermore, the first damping spring 13 and the second damping spring 18 play a buffering role in the process of clamping the heart-shaped container 3, thereby preventing the container from being damaged when the clamping force is too strong.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the fixing base 1 is fixedly connected to a bottom plate 20, and connecting holes 21 are opened through the four corners of the lower end of the bottom plate 20. The bottom plate 20 can be installed on the conveying mechanism of the food filling machine through the connecting holes 21 and bolts.

[0032] Working principle: When the device is in use, first insert the bottom tip of the heart-shaped container 3 into the conical groove 4, and then start the motor 9, and drive the second bevel gear 10 to rotate through the motor 9. Since the second bevel gear 10 is engaged with the first bevel gear 8, when the second bevel gear 10 rotates, the first bevel gear 8 will drive the bidirectional threaded rod 7 to rotate synchronously, and then the two sliders 11 drive the two limit plates 14 to approach each other to clamp the front and back sides of the heart-shaped container 3, and then start the electric push rod 16, and the electric push rod 16 pushes the left and right side clamps 19 to approach each other, which can fix the left and right sides of the heart-shaped container 3. The limit plates 14 and the side clamps 19 are tightly fitted to the surface of the heart-shaped container 3, which can achieve stable clamping.

[0033] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed for the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
