[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 , the utility model provides a bottle mouth clamping structure for blow molding equipment, comprising a transmission seat 1 and a clamp;

[0029] The clamp includes an elastic return member 2, two gaskets 3 and two symmetrically arranged clamping jaws 4; the front ends of the clamping jaws 4 on the side close to each other are respectively provided with arc-shaped clamping grooves 201; the transmission base 1 is fixed with two rotating devices 11; the rotating device 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 12, and the two clamping jaws 4 are respectively arranged on the rotating shaft 12 on the corresponding side, and the rotating shaft 12 drives the clamping jaws 4 to rotate with the rotating shaft 12 as the rotating axis, and the rotating device 11 drives the clamping jaws 4 to rotate with their own axis as the rotating axis through the rotating shaft 12, so that the upper ends of the two clamping jaws 4 are close to or away from each other; the two ends of the elastic return member 2 are respectively connected to the clamping jaws 4 on the corresponding side;

[0030] The gasket 3 is detachably connected to the arc-shaped clamping groove 201 , and the two gaskets 3 cooperate with each other to form a bottle mouth clamping station.

[0031] When the clamping jaws 4 come into contact with the formed bottle, the rotating device 11 drives the clamping jaws 4 to rotate outward around the rotating shaft 12, and at the same time, the elastic restoring member 2 extends until the bottle mouth of the formed plastic bottle reaches the bottle mouth clamping station; then, the bottle mouth clamping structure or the plastic bottle is moved to make the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle enter the bottle mouth clamping station; when the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle enters the bottle mouth clamping station, the rotating device 11 drives the clamping jaws 4 to reset, and at the same time, the elastic restoring member 2 contracts, and the clamping jaws 4 rotate inward around the rotating shaft 12.

[0032] The rotating shaft 12 is driven by the rotating device 11 to drive the clamping jaws 4 to rotate with their own axis as the rotating axis, so that the upper ends of the clamping jaws 4 are close to or away from each other, thereby achieving the effect of clamping and releasing the mouth of the plastic bottle. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. By setting the cooperation between the rotating shaft 12 and the elastic reset member 2, the clamping jaws 4 can clamp the formed bottle more synchronously.

[0033] The bottle mouth clamping structure is provided with a transmission seat 1 and a clamp. The clamp is controlled by a rotating device 11 to clamp or release the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle, and then moved by an external drive structure to remove the plastic bottle, thereby preventing the plastic bottle from being squeezed and collided during removal, reducing the deformation of the plastic bottle, and reducing the defective rate of the plastic bottle. In addition, a replaceable gasket 3 is provided on the clamping jaw 4 to have a heat insulation effect, preventing the residual heat of the molded plastic bottle from being transferred to the entire clamping jaw 4, and preventing the lubricant on the clamping jaw 4 from becoming ineffective due to temperature increase, increasing friction, and resulting in reduced working efficiency and life of the clamping jaw. In addition, the corresponding gasket 3 can be replaced according to the size of the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle, thereby changing the size of the bottle mouth clamping station to adapt to plastic bottles of different sizes and improve the adaptability of the bottle mouth clamping structure.

[0034] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the rotating device 11 is specifically a motor, and the elastic return member 2 is a spring. The transmission base 1 plays the role of connecting the rotating device 11 so that the clamping jaws 4 on both sides can cooperate with each other to achieve the clamping function.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom surface of the arc-shaped clamping groove 201 is recessed upward with a gasket installation cavity, and the gasket installation cavity is provided with a plurality of gasket fixing holes 202 at intervals. The gasket 3 includes a gasket body 31 and gasket fixing parts 32 whose number is adapted to the gasket fixing holes 202; the gasket body 31 is provided with a plurality of gasket through holes 310 adapted to the positions of the gasket fixing holes 202; the gasket 3 is embedded in the gasket installation cavity, and the gasket fixing parts 32 pass through the gasket through holes 310 and are fixedly connected to the gasket fixing holes 202.

[0036] With this structure, the gasket body 31 is embedded in the gasket mounting cavity via the gasket fixing member 32. The embedded installation of the gasket 3 optimizes space utilization, reduces the space occupied by the gasket 3, and makes the structure more compact, contributing to the lightweight bottle-mouth clamping structure. Furthermore, the embedded structure can better distribute and withstand external loads, thereby improving the strength and stability of the overall structure.

[0037] Specifically, a transition arc surface 311 is provided at the connection between the upper end of the gasket body 31 and the arc-shaped clamping groove 201 .

[0038] With the above structure, when the clamp approaches the bottle mouth, the bottle mouth enters or moves away from the bottle mouth clamping station more smoothly, which enables the bottle mouth to quickly enter or move away from the bottle mouth clamping station, reducing the pressure of the clamp on the bottle mouth, thereby reducing the damage to the bottle mouth caused by the clamp and further reducing the defective rate.

[0039] Specifically, a spring installation cavity 41 is provided in the middle of the clamping jaw 4 , and a fixing hook 42 is provided in the spring installation cavity 41 , and both ends of the elastic return member 2 are respectively hung on the fixing hook 42 on the corresponding side.

[0040] With the above structure, the elastic return member 2 is installed in the spring installation cavity 41, which occupies a reasonable space and reduces the external space occupied by the elastic return member 2, making the structure more compact. It reduces the situation where the elastic return member 2 is disturbed by the external environment and protects the elastic return member 2.

[0041] Specifically, a receiving cavity 43 is provided at the proximal end of the rear end of the clamp 4, and a shaft mounting through hole 431 is provided in the receiving cavity 43. The shaft 12 passes through the shaft mounting through hole 431, and a limiting member 44 is provided at the end of the shaft 12. The limiting member 44 is located in the receiving cavity 43.

[0042] With the above structure, the rotation shaft 12 and the clamping jaw 4 are fixed by the limiting member 44, thereby preventing the clamping jaw 4 from falling out of the rotation shaft 12 and enhancing the stability of the bottle mouth clamping structure.

[0043] Preferably, the sidewall of the gasket 3 is provided with anti-slip grooves. With the above structure, the friction between the gasket 3 and the mouth of the plastic bottle is increased, thereby reducing the possibility of sliding and avoiding the problem of the plastic bottle accidentally falling during the process of taking out the plastic bottle.

[0044] Optionally, the gasket 3 is made of rubber. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the gasket 3 is made of rubber. Rubber is an excellent thermal insulating material with low thermal conductivity, effectively reducing heat conduction and providing excellent thermal insulation properties. Furthermore, rubber is elastic and flexible, deforming when subjected to force, further reducing damage to the bottle mouth caused by the clamp.

[0045] Preferably, it further includes a base 5 and a driving mechanism; the driving mechanism includes a slide rail 6, a slider 7, a linear driving device 8 and a transmission arm 9; the slide rail 6 and the linear driving device 8 are respectively arranged on the base 5, the slider 7 is slidably assembled on the slide rail 6, and the transmission base 1 is fixed to the slider 7; the linear driving device 8 drives the clamp to move closer to or away from the mouth of the plastic bottle through the slider 7;

[0046] The linear drive device 8 includes the linear drive device 8 being arranged on the base 5 , one end of the transmission arm 9 being connected to the driving end of the linear drive device 8 , and the other end of the transmission arm 9 being transmission-connected to the transmission seat 1 .

[0047] When the clamping jaws 4 need to clamp the mouth of the plastic bottle, the linear drive 8 drives the slider 7 and the transmission base 1 close to the mouth of the plastic bottle; then, the clamping jaws 4 clamp the mouth of the plastic bottle. After the clamping jaws 4 clamp the mouth of the plastic bottle, the linear drive 8 drives the slider 7 and the transmission base 1 to return to the original position, thereby removing the plastic bottle.

[0048] The linear drive device 8 drives the slider 7 and the transmission base 1 to move along the slide rail 6, thereby driving the clamp to approach or move away from the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle, thereby realizing automatic pick-up and placement of the formed bottle. The base 5 plays the role of fixing the drive mechanism.

[0049] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are intended solely to illustrate the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art will be able to devise other specific embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort, and such equivalent variations or substitutions are encompassed within the scope of the claims of this application.
