[0026] As described in the background art, in the related art, milk powder production is mostly canned and packaged. The milk powder cans are transported to the appropriate packing position according to demand by an automatic cartoning machine, waiting to be boxed, and the packing gripper clamps the milk powder cans into the designated carton position for boxing.

[0027] However, during the clamping process, the packing chuck is prone to shaking, causing the chuck to collide with the can body and deform the can body, thereby reducing the product yield.

[0028] In response to the above-mentioned problems, an embodiment of the present application provides, on one hand, a can body clamping device, comprising a driving member and a plurality of clamping jaws; wherein the clamping jaws are connected to the driving member, and have a guide bevel and a protective member on the clamping jaws. The clamping jaws are configured to move toward the can body under the drive of the driving member so that the can body contacts the protective member via the guide bevel, and each clamping jaw is used to jointly clamp the can body. In this arrangement, the guide bevel is used to guide the movement of the can body until it contacts the protective member, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the can body. On the other hand, the present application provides a case packing machine, comprising a case packing machine body and a can body clamping device as described above, which is arranged on the case packing machine body.

[0029] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] On the one hand, the embodiment of the present application provides a tank clamping device, combined with Figure 1 As shown, it includes a driving member and multiple jaws 100; wherein, the jaw 100 is connected to the driving member, and has a guide slope 200 and a protective member 400 on the jaw 100. The jaw 100 is configured to move toward the tank body under the drive of the driving member so that the tank body contacts the protective member 400 through the guide slope 200, and each jaw 100 is used to clamp the tank body together.

[0031] It can be understood that the guide bevel 200 is arranged at the end of the clamp 100. When the clamp 100 moves to the tank body under the drive of the driving member, the tank body first contacts the guide bevel 200 and moves under the guidance of the guide bevel 200 to avoid collision between the tank body and the end of the clamp 100.

[0032] Specifically, the tank body clamping device increases the distance between the clamping jaws 100 and the tank body by providing a guiding slope 200 on the side of the clamping jaws 100 facing the tank body, so that the area enclosed by multiple clamping jaws is larger than the size of the tank body. Even if the clamping jaws 100 shake and deviate during the movement toward the tank body, under the action of the guiding slope 200, the tank body can be guided along the guiding slope 200 to contact the protective member 400, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the tank body. At the same time, the protective member 400 contacts and clamps the tank body, effectively preventing the tank body from being deformed or damaged.

[0033] Among them, in some possible embodiments, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the clamp 100 includes a claw rod 110 and a claw head 120. The claw rod 110 connects the driving member and the claw head 120. The claw head 120 gradually widens from the bottom to the top of the claw head 120. The guide slopes 200 are correspondingly arranged on the opposite sides of each claw head 120, and the protective members 400 are correspondingly arranged on the opposite sides of each claw rod 110.

[0034] Specific, combined Figure 1 As shown, the claw rod 110 and the claw head 120 are interconnected, and the claw rod 110 is connected to a driving member so that the driving member can control the movement of the claw rod 110. The thickness of the claw head 120 gradually increases from the bottom to the top of the claw head 120. The opposing sides of each claw head 120 are provided with a guide slope 200, so that when the clamping jaw 100 moves toward the can body, the guide slope 200 guides the can body. In addition, the opposing sides of each claw rod 110 can be provided with a protective member 400. The protective member 400 cooperates with the guide slope 200 so that after the guide slope 200 guides the can body to the position to be clamped, the protective member 400 can be used to clamp the can body.

[0035] For further information, see Figure 1 As shown, the inclination angle of the guide slope 200 relative to the claw rod 110 is greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 40°. Figure 1 The bottom of the claw head 120 shown is an acute angle, and the inclination angle of the guide slope 200 relative to the claw rod 110 is greater than or equal to 35° and less than or equal to 40°, which increases the distance between the clamp 100 and the tank body. Even if the clamp 100 or the claw rod 110 shakes and deviates during operation, the guide slope 200 can guide the tank body to move and avoid deformation of the tank body.

[0036] Among them, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, a step 300 is formed at the connection between the claw rod 110 and the claw head 120 , and the protective member 400 abuts against the step 300 .

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the claw head 120 gradually becomes thicker from the bottom to the top, that is, the top of the claw head 120 is the thickest part. The top of the claw head 120 is connected to the claw rod 110, and the thickness of the thickest part of the claw head 120 is greater than the thickness of the claw rod 110, so that a step 300 is formed at the connection between the claw head 120 and the claw rod 110. The protective member 400 can abut against the step 300, so that after the guide slope 200 guides the tank body to move, the tank body can contact the protective member 400, thereby clamping the tank body.

[0038] Furthermore, the protective member 400 and the claw rod 110 can be bonded to each other so as to connect the protective member 400 to the side of the claw rod 110 and prevent the two from separating or falling off during operation of the tank clamping device. Of course, in other embodiments, the protective member 400 and the claw rod 110 can also be connected by hot melt or detachable connection, as long as the protective member 400 can move with the claw rod 110 to clamp the tank.

[0039] Among them, in some possible embodiments, combined with Figure 1As shown, the thickness of the protective member 400 is greater than the thickness of the claw head 120 , and the difference between the thickness of the protective member 400 and the thickness of the claw head 120 is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0040] It is understandable that, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the thickness of the protective member 400 is greater than the maximum thickness of the claw head 120, and the difference between the thickness of the protective member 400 and the thickness of the claw head 120 is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm. Within this range, it can not only ensure that the guide slope 200 guides the movement of the tank body normally, but also avoid the protective member 400 blocking the tank body from moving along the guide slope 200, but also achieve the purpose of clamping the tank body.

[0041] In some possible implementations, the protective member 400 may be a silicone member or a rubber member to increase the friction between the protective member 400 and the can body, thereby preventing the can body from slipping during the clamping process of the clamping jaws 100 .

[0042] Among them, in other embodiments, an anti-slip pad can be provided on the surface of the protective part 400, and a number of spherical protrusions can be provided on the surface of the anti-slip pad to further increase the friction between the protective part 400 and the tank body, so as to prevent the tank body from slipping when the clamping jaws 100 clamp the tank body and move it. The anti-slip pad can be made of silicone or rubber material, or it can be integrally formed with the above-mentioned silicone or rubber parts, as long as it can increase the friction between the tank body and the protective part 400 and prevent the tank body from slipping.

[0043] Among them, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the claw rod 110 includes a horizontal rod 111 and a vertical rod 112 . One end of the horizontal rod 111 can be connected to the driving member, and the other end of the horizontal rod 111 is connected to the vertical rod 112 . The vertical rod 112 is connected to the claw head 120 .

[0044] Specific, combined Figure 1 As shown, the claw rod 110 can be set in an "inverted L" shape, wherein one end of the horizontal rod 111 is connected to the driving member (not shown in the figure), and the other end is connected to the vertical rod 112, and the vertical rod 112 is connected to the claw head 120. The claw rod 110 can be closed or separated with each other under the control of an external control mechanism (not shown in the figure), thereby clamping or loosening the tank body.

[0045] In other embodiments, the claw rod 110 and the claw head 120 may be an integrally formed structure.

[0046] In some possible embodiments, the clamping jaw 100 may be an aluminum clamping jaw. It is understood that the material of the clamping jaw 100 may be aluminum, which is light in weight and convenient for driving the clamping jaw 100 to move and clamp the can body through a driving member.

[0047] In a second aspect, the present application provides a case packer, comprising a case packer body and a can clamping device, as described above, disposed on the case packer body. It is understood that the can clamping device is connected to the case packer body, and after the can is clamped by the clamping claws 100 in the can clamping device, the clamped can is moved into a case at a designated position for packing.

[0048] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present application after considering the specification and practicing the application disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present application that follow the general principles of the present application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The description and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the present application are indicated by the following claims.

[0049] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exact structure described above and shown in the drawings, and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present application is limited only by the appended claims.
