Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of juice production equipment, in particular to a grabbing mechanism for automatic production of juice bottles. Background Art

[0002] Automated juice bottle production lines are an important component of the modern beverage industry. By employing advanced equipment and systems, they enable efficient, high-quality, and high-precision juice production and packaging. With the development trend toward intelligent, green production, and modular design, automated juice bottle production lines will continue to play a vital role in the beverage industry.

[0003] The juice bottle gripping mechanism is a crucial component of an automated juice bottle production line, responsible for accurately and efficiently grasping juice bottles and transferring them to the next production stage. In this mechanism, when the control system receives a grasping command, it activates the gripping mechanism and adjusts the position of the gripper and telescopic rod. Sensors then monitor the position and status of the juice bottle in real time to ensure the gripper is accurately positioned on the bottle. Once the gripper is positioned on the bottle, the control system drives the gripper to close, securely grasping the bottle. The control system then activates the conveyor to transfer the grasped bottle to the next production stage. Finally, after the bottle has been transferred to the next production stage, the control system drives the gripper to release the bottle and adjusts the position of the gripper and telescopic rod for the next grasping operation.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent CN105416652B discloses a bottle head gripping device comprising a fixed sleeve, one end of which is connected to a bottling machine, and a gripping opening at the other end of the fixed sleeve. An elastic wrapping sleeve adapted to fit the bottle head is positioned within the gripping opening, and the end of the elastic wrapping sleeve, facing away from the gripping opening, can be moved into the bottle mouth of the bottle head. A pushing device is positioned within the fixed sleeve, one end of which is connected to the end. The pushing device comprises a connected pushing rod and a sliding block, which is connected to the end. This bottle head gripping device offers flexibility, a greater travel distance, and a wider range of applicability, significantly improving the operating efficiency of the bottling machine.

[0005] However, the aforementioned bottle head gripping device still suffers from the technical problem of being unable to reverse the bottle's orientation. Specifically, in existing automated juice bottle production lines, keeping the bottles in a flat position during transportation generally provides better conveying stability; however, during filling, the bottles often need to be upright for more convenient filling. Therefore, a gripping mechanism that can quickly switch juice bottles between a flat and upright position is currently needed. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 3 The grabbing mechanism for the automated production of juice bottles of the present invention includes: a rotating support base 1, a rotating drive mechanism 2, a grabbing support frame 3, a grabbing drive mechanism 4, a connecting rod transmission structure 5 and a clamping claw structure 6; the rotating drive mechanism 2 is arranged in the rotating support base 1, the grabbing support frame 3 is arranged on the adjacent side of the rotating support base 1, and the rotating drive mechanism 2 is drivingly connected to the grabbing support frame 3; the grabbing drive mechanism 4 and the connecting rod transmission structure 5 are both arranged on the grabbing support frame 3, the grabbing drive mechanism 4 is drivingly connected to the connecting rod transmission structure 5, the clamping claw structure 6 is arranged on the adjacent side of the grabbing support frame 3, and the connecting rod transmission structure 5 is drivingly connected to the clamping claw structure 6.

[0028] Specifically, when the gripping mechanism for automated juice bottle production of the present invention is in operation, when a fruit bottle flowing in from an external assembly line enters the working range of the clamping structure 6 in a flat position, the gripping drive mechanism 4 is activated and drives the connecting rod transmission structure 5 to operate, thereby driving the clamping structure 6 to grip the bottle body; then, the rotary drive mechanism 2 drives the gripping support frame 3 to rotate 90°, at which point the juice bottle can be converted from a flat position to an upright position to facilitate entry into the assembly line for the filling process; during the gripping and rotation process, the rotary support frame 1 is connected to an external moving mechanism so that it can be switched to the desired gripping or releasing position during gripping. Thereafter, after the juice bottle is filled, it can be re-gripped by the clamping structure 6 and then driven by the rotary drive mechanism 2 to rotate to another preset angle before entering the labeling process. It can be seen that the gripping mechanism for automated production of juice bottles of the present invention can rotate the juice bottles after gripping them, so that the bottles can be rotated, filled, and labeled in a preset posture.

[0029] Furthermore, the rotary support base 1 has a displacement connection shaft 101 , a rotary support 102 and a rotary bearing 103 ; a plurality of the displacement connection shafts 101 are evenly distributed under the rotary support 102 , and two rotary bearings 103 are relatively arranged on the rotary support 102 .

[0030] Furthermore, the rotary drive mechanism 2 has a rotary connecting shaft 201 and a rotary drive cylinder 202; the rotary connecting shaft 201 is movably inserted into the two rotary bearings 103, one end of the rotary connecting shaft 201 is connected to the rotary support 102, and the other end of the rotary connecting shaft 201 is connected to the rotary drive cylinder 202; the rotary drive cylinder 202 is arranged on the side of the rotary support 102.

[0031] Specifically, after the rotary drive cylinder 202 is started, it can drive the rotary connecting shaft 201 to rotate, so that the rotary connecting shaft 201 drives the rotary support 102 to rotate under the support of the rotary bearing 103, so that the rotary support 102 can switch the rotation angle as needed.

[0032] Furthermore, the grabbing drive mechanism 4 has a grabbing cylinder seat 401, a grabbing drive cylinder 402 and a grabbing telescopic rod 403; the grabbing cylinder seat 401 is fixedly connected to the grabbing support frame 3, and the grabbing drive cylinder 402 is movably connected to the grabbing cylinder seat 401; the grabbing drive cylinder 402 is drivingly connected to the grabbing telescopic rod 403.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting rod transmission structure 5 includes a first connecting rod 501 and a second connecting rod 502 ; one end of the first connecting rod 501 is connected to one end of the grabbing telescopic rod 403 , and the other end of the first connecting rod 501 is movably connected to the second connecting rod 502 .

[0034] Furthermore, the clamping structure 6 has a first rotating shaft 601, a first clamping jaw 602, a first tooth structure 603, a second rotating shaft 604, a second clamping jaw 605 and a second tooth structure 606; the first rotating shaft 601 is movably arranged on the grasping support frame 3, and the middle part of the first rotating shaft 601 is connected to one end of the second connecting rod 502; the two first clamping jaws 602 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first rotating shaft 601, and the side surface of each first clamping jaw 602 is provided with the first tooth structure 603; the second rotating shaft 604 is movably arranged on the grasping support frame 3 relative to the first rotating shaft 601, and the two second clamping jaws 605 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second rotating shaft 604, and the side surface of each second clamping jaw 605 is provided with the second tooth structure 606, and the second tooth structure 606 is meshed and connected with the first tooth structure 603.

[0035] Specifically, after the grabbing drive cylinder 402 is started, it can drive the grabbing telescopic rod 403 to extend or shorten; and when it is necessary to clamp a bottle, the grabbing telescopic rod 403 retracts to drive the first connecting rod 501 to move, thereby bending the second connecting rod 502 through the first connecting rod 501; so that the second connecting rod 502 drives the first rotating shaft 601 to rotate, at this time, the two first clamping jaws 602 set at both ends of the first rotating shaft 601 can be driven at the same time and move in the direction close to the second clamping jaw 605, at this time, the first tooth structure 603 set on the side of the first clamping jaw 602 can drive the second tooth structure 606 through meshing transmission, and then drive the second clamping jaw 605 to move in the direction close to the first clamping jaw 602 at the same time; so as to realize the action requirement of grabbing the bottle. Similarly, when it is necessary to release the bottle, the grabbing telescopic rod 403 is extended to drive the first connecting rod 501 to move, thereby allowing the first clamping jaw 602 to move away from the second clamping jaw 605. Furthermore, the first tooth structure 603 provided on the first clamping jaw 605 drives the second tooth structure 606 to cause the second clamping jaw 605 to move away from the first clamping jaw 602 at the same time. At this time, the space between the two clamping jaws is opened, thereby releasing the grasped bottle.

[0036] In summary, the present invention's gripping mechanism for automated juice bottle production comprises a rotary support base 1, a rotary drive mechanism 2, a gripping support frame 3, a gripping drive mechanism 4, a connecting rod transmission structure 5, and a clamping claw structure 6.
