Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bottle handling equipment, in particular to a secondary positioning and transferring mechanism for plastic bottles. [Background Technology]

[0002] Liquid solutions require containers for transportation, storage, and transshipment. Therefore, these products often require filling during the production process. To achieve efficient production, a variety of automated filling equipment has emerged on the market. To achieve automated filling, the containers holding the liquids also need automated feeding and loading.

[0003] Currently, there is a type of plastic bottle that needs to be placed on a conveyor line in a set standing orientation. After the plastic bottle is placed on the conveyor line, it needs to be filled and the guide tube assembly operation is required. After filling, the bottle cap needs to be screwed. When the plastic bottle is filled with liquid and transported on the conveyor line, it cannot shake significantly. Therefore, it is generally necessary to use a bottle holder on the conveyor line to carry the plastic bottle. The bottle holder is provided with a contoured groove to support the plastic bottle. To prevent the plastic bottle from shaking significantly in the bottle holder, the gap between the contoured groove and the plastic bottle is generally set very small. The bottle holders need to be distributed one by one on the conveyor line to avoid the spaced bottle holders from colliding and causing the liquid in the plastic bottle to be shaken out. Based on the above situation, when the plastic bottles are automatically fed and loaded, they need to be placed accurately into the contoured groove of the bottle holder. However, in order to improve the loading efficiency of the plastic bottles, it is planned to move multiple groups of plastic bottles into the bottle holder of the conveyor line at one time. Therefore, the positioning requirements for the plastic bottles before loading and handling are very high.

[0004] There is no plastic bottle secondary positioning mechanism in the prior art to meet the above requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new plastic bottle secondary positioning and transferring mechanism to solve the above technical problems. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a secondary positioning and transferring mechanism for plastic bottles, which can perform secondary precise positioning of multiple plastic bottles in the front, back, left and right directions, and ensure that multiple plastic bottles can be accurately transported to the bottle trays of the conveyor line at the same time.

[0006] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solution: a secondary positioning and transferring mechanism for plastic bottles, which includes a first cylinder, a first support plate driven by the first cylinder to move horizontally, and a carrier fixed on the first support plate; a plurality of bottle supporting grooves are provided in the carrier, and a clamping assembly for clamping the plastic bottle in each of the bottle supporting grooves is provided on the carrier.

[0007] Further, the carrier comprises a second support plate, a first limiting vertical plate fixedly arranged on the second support plate and extending left and right, a plurality of second limiting vertical plates fixedly arranged and spaced apart left and right perpendicularly to the first limiting vertical plate, a third limiting vertical plate arranged parallel to the first limiting vertical plate, and a plurality of fourth limiting vertical plates arranged parallel to the second limiting vertical plate, the first limiting vertical plate, the second limiting vertical plate, the third limiting vertical plate and the fourth limiting vertical plate collectively form a plurality of bottle receiving grooves.

[0008] Further, the clamping assembly comprises a second air cylinder fixed on the first support plate, a transmission plate driven to move left and right by the second air cylinder, and a third air cylinder fixed on the first support plate and driving the third limiting vertical plate to move close to or away from the first limiting vertical plate.

[0009] Further, the bottom of all the fourth limiting vertical plates is fixedly connected with the transmission plate.

[0010] Further, the second air cylinder is located beside the first limiting vertical plate, the transmission plate is located below the second support plate, and the second support plate is supported and raised by a plurality of support rods to form a movable space for the transmission plate to slide horizontally.

[0011] Further, the second support plate is provided with an avoiding opening, the bottom of the fourth limiting vertical plate passes through the avoiding opening and is fixedly connected with the transmission plate.

[0012] Further, the third air cylinder is provided with two third air cylinders respectively located on the left and right sides of the second support plate, which jointly drive the two ends of the third limiting vertical plate to move forward and backward.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the plastic bottle secondary positioning and carrying mechanism are that: by arranging a plurality of bottle receiving grooves in the carrier, a plurality of plastic bottles can be carried, and a clamping assembly for positioning the plastic bottles in each bottle receiving groove forward, backward, left and right is arranged to accurately position the plastic bottles, so that a group of bottles in the carrier can be accurately grabbed and accurately placed into the bottle holder on the conveying line, meeting the accurate feeding demand of multiple plastic bottles.
