Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of bottle conveying technology, and in particular to a large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A bottle is a container, generally with a small mouth, a narrow neck, and a large belly. It is mostly made of plastic, porcelain, or glass and is a common product used in modern industry and daily life for storage, transportation, and use, such as storing medicines, food, and other daily necessities or chemicals.
[0003] After the bottles are produced, they need to be filled through an assembly line. The conventional filling method is to transport them through an assembly line. When the bottles are delivered to the filling platform, they are transported on the filling platform by a conveyor mechanism.
[0004] However, conventional conveying mechanisms typically push bottles forward on the filling platform. During the filling process, the bottles may shake due to the impact of the added material and slight vibrations from the operation of the filling equipment, and may even tip over. This can lead to leakage of filling materials or hinder subsequent bottle filling operations. In such cases, workers need to clean up the site and right the tipped bottles, resulting in a decrease in overall bottle filling efficiency and a significant drawback. Utility Model Content
[0005] To improve the filling efficiency of bottles, this application provides a large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism.
[0006] The large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism includes a filling platform, with an infeed conveyor belt and an outlet conveyor belt respectively arranged on opposite sides of the filling platform, and a conveyor table. A bracket is slidably connected to the conveyor table, and a pushing component is provided on the conveyor table to push the bracket to reciprocate along the length direction of the filling platform. A guide rail is slidably arranged on the bracket, and multiple clamping components are arranged along the length direction of the guide rail. Each clamping component includes a clamping plate arranged on both sides of each bottle. A driving component is provided on the bracket to drive the guide rail to reciprocate along the width direction of the filling platform.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bottle moves to the filling platform, the drive component drives the guide rail to move away from the filling platform. The movement of the guide rail causes the clamping plates to move away from the filling platform. When the bottle is conveyed to the filling platform, the push component first causes the bracket to move towards the bottle. The movement of the bracket causes the guide rail to move, thereby aligning the gap between each pair of clamping plates with the bottle. After alignment, the drive component drives the guide rail to move towards the filling platform. The movement of the guide rail causes the two clamping plates to approach and clamp the bottle. After clamping, the filling device fills the bottle. After filling, the push component pushes the bracket as a whole towards the discharge conveyor belt. The bracket pushes the bottle one station away through the guide rail and clamping plates, and then repeats the above operation. The clamping plates effectively clamp the bottle on the filling platform, avoiding the possibility of the bottle shaking or even tipping over due to external factors during filling and conveying, ensuring the stability of the bottle on the filling platform, and thus improving the filling efficiency of the bottle.
[0009] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a clamping cylinder mounted on the bracket, the output shaft of the clamping cylinder being provided with a push block, the bracket being provided with a first slide rail along the length direction that slidably engages with the push block, a connecting rod being hinged to the push block, a slider being hinged to the end of the connecting rod away from the push block, the slider being mounted on the guide rail, and the bracket being provided with a second slide rail along the width direction that slidably engages with the guide rail.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drive rail moves away from the filling platform, the clamping cylinder pushes the push block to move along the first slide rail toward the discharge conveyor belt. The movement of the push block causes the connecting rod to swing around the push block. At this time, the angle between the connecting rod and the first slide rail becomes smaller, and the connecting rod drives the guide rail away from the filling platform through the slider. When the drive rail moves closer to the filling platform, the clamping cylinder resets and drives the push block to move toward the feed conveyor belt. At this time, the angle between the connecting rod and the first slide rail increases, and the connecting rod pushes the guide rail closer to the filling platform through the slider. The movement of the guide rail causes the clamping plate to extend above the filling platform and clamp the bottle. This setting realizes the rapid clamping and release of the clamping plate and improves the applicability of clamping operations on the bottle production line.
[0011] Optionally, the pushing component includes a feeding cylinder mounted on the conveyor table, the output shaft of the feeding cylinder being provided with a pushing rod, a sliding groove being provided on the conveyor table for sliding cooperation with the pushing rod, a connecting plate being provided on the pushing rod, and the connecting plate being mounted on the bracket.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bottle reaches the filling platform and is clamped by the clamping component, the feeding cylinder is activated to drive the push rod to move toward the discharge conveyor belt. Under the limit of the chute, the movement direction of the push rod is restricted. The movement of the push rod drives the connecting plate to move. The connecting plate drives the guide rail to move through the bracket. The movement of the guide rail drives the bottle clamped by the clamping plate to move toward the discharge conveyor belt, thereby realizing the conveying effect of the push component.
[0013] Optionally, a third slide rail is provided on each of the opposite sides of the conveyor table, the length direction of the third slide rail is parallel to the length direction of the conveyor table, and the opposite sides of the connecting plate are slidably connected to the third slide rail.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the third slide rail provides guidance for the sliding of the connecting plate, so that when the support moves back and forth along the length of the filling platform, it can run strictly according to the predetermined trajectory, thereby ensuring the stability of the bottle held by the clamping component during the conveying process and effectively reducing the risk of the bottle shaking or tipping due to the instability of the support itself.
[0015] Optionally, a baffle is provided on the side of the filling platform away from the support.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle is designed to limit the bottle from moving away from the end face of the support, thus preventing the clamping component from pushing the bottle out of the filling platform when the guide rail moves toward the filling platform. At the same time, it effectively limits the trajectory of the bottle when entering the filling platform, preventing the bottle from leaving the clamping range of the clamping plate and being unable to be pushed, thereby further reducing the possibility of the bottle tipping over.
[0017] Optionally, the guide rail is provided with a T-slot, and a plurality of T-nuts are provided in the T-slot. An adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the clamping plate, and the end of the adjusting screw is disposed on the T-nut. The clamping plate is detachably mounted on the guide rail through the T-nut and the adjusting screw.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the specifications of the bottles to be filled change, workers can rotate the adjusting screw to change the state of the T-nut within the T-slot, and then slide the T-nut to change the distance between the two clamping plates, thereby adapting to bottles of different sizes. After adjustment, the adjusting screw is used again to tighten the T-nut within the T-slot, completing the fixation of the clamping plates. This design enhances the compatibility of the clamping assembly with bottles of different sizes and expands the applicability of the conveying clamping mechanism.
[0019] Optionally, the guide rail is provided with scale markings, and the clamping plate is provided with a pointer at the end near the guide rail.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of scale markings and pointers allows operators to more intuitively and accurately control the spacing between the clamping plates. This makes it easier for workers to accurately adjust the distance between the two clamping plates according to the specifications of the bottle, avoiding problems such as the bottle shaking or tipping due to improper spacing adjustment, or the bottle being damaged due to excessive clamping.
[0021] Optionally, protective blocks are detachably connected to the opposite end faces of the clamping plates via connecting bolts.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective block avoids direct contact between the clamping plate and the bottle surface, thus playing a buffering role and preventing the hard material of the clamping plate from directly scratching or damaging the bottle surface, effectively protecting the appearance integrity of the bottle.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. This application, by setting up a clamping component, a pushing component, and a driving component, uses a driving component to move the guide rail away from the filling platform. The movement of the guide rail causes the clamping plates to move away from the filling platform. When the bottle is conveyed to the filling platform, the pushing component first moves the support towards the bottle. The movement of the support causes the guide rail to move, thereby aligning the gap between each pair of clamping plates with the bottle. After alignment, the driving component moves the clamping plates towards the filling platform, clamping the bottle. After clamping, the filling device fills the bottle. After filling, the pushing component pushes the guide rail and clamping plates to move the bottle one station, and then repeats the above operation. The clamping plate effectively clamps the bottle on the filling platform, avoiding the possibility of the bottle shaking or even tipping over due to external factors during filling and conveying, ensuring the stability of the bottle on the filling platform, and thus improving the filling efficiency.
[0025] 2. This application, by incorporating a T-nut and an adjusting screw, allows workers to adjust the T-nut's position within the T-slot by rotating the adjusting screw when the bottle size changes. Subsequently, sliding the T-nut alters the distance between the two clamping plates, thus accommodating bottles of different sizes. After adjustment, the adjusting screw is used again to tighten the T-nut within the T-slot, securing the clamping plates. This design enhances the compatibility of the clamping assembly with different bottle sizes and expands the applicability of the conveying clamping mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0033] This application discloses a large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 A large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism includes a filling platform 1, a conveying platform 2, a feeding conveyor belt 101, and a discharging conveyor belt 102. The filling platform 1 is equipped with a filling device (not shown in the figure) for filling raw materials into the bottle. The feeding conveyor belt 101 and the discharging conveyor belt 102 are respectively arranged on both sides of the filling platform 1 along the length direction, and the conveying platform 2 is arranged on one side of the filling platform 1 along the width direction.
[0035] After production, the bottles are conveyed to the filling platform 1 via the feeding conveyor belt 101. After the filling device fills the bottles, the filling platform is conveyed to the next process via the discharge conveyor belt 102.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A support 3 is slidably connected to the conveyor platform 2. The length direction of the support 3 is parallel to the length direction of the filling platform 1. A pushing component 4 is provided on the conveyor platform 2 to push the support 3 to move back and forth along the length direction of the filling platform 1. A guide rail 5 is slidably connected to the support 3. The length of the guide rail 5 is parallel to the length of the filling platform 1. Multiple clamping components 6 are evenly arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the guide rail 5. In this embodiment, there are four sets of clamping components 6. Each clamping component 6 includes clamping plates 61 arranged on both sides of the bottle. The end of the clamping plate 61 away from the guide rail 5 is detachably connected to a protective block 62 by a connecting bolt (not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, the protective block 62 is a rubber protective block 62. The setting of the protective block 62 effectively avoids the appearance damage to the bottle during the clamping process. A driving component 7 is provided on the support 3 to drive the guide rail 5 to move back and forth along the width direction of the filling platform 1.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pushing component 4 includes a feeding cylinder 41 fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveyor table 2. The output shaft of the feeding cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to a pushing rod 42, which is vertically arranged. The conveyor table 2 has a sliding groove 21 that slides with the pushing rod 42. The length direction of the sliding groove 21 is parallel to the length direction of the conveyor table 2. A connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the pushing rod 42 away from the feeding cylinder 41. The connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bracket 3 by bolts. A third slide rail 22 is fixedly installed on both opposite sides of the conveyor table 2. The length direction of the third slide rail 22 is parallel to the length direction of the conveyor table 2. The opposite sides of the connecting plate 43 are slidably connected to the third slide rail 22.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 7 includes a clamping cylinder 71 fixedly mounted on the bracket 3. The clamping cylinder 71 is located on the opposite side of the bracket 3 away from the filling platform 1. The output shaft of the clamping cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to a push block 72. A first slide rail 73 that slides and engages with the push block 72 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 3. The length direction of the first slide rail 73 is parallel to the length direction of the filling platform 1. A connecting rod 74 is hinged to the push block 72. A slider 75 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 74 away from the push block 72. The slider 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the guide rail 5. A second slide rail 76 is mounted on both opposite sides of the bracket 3. The length direction of the second slide rail 76 is parallel to the width direction of the bracket 3. The guide rail 5 slides and engages with the second slide rail 76.
[0039] When the bottle moves onto the filling platform 1, the clamping cylinder 71 pushes the push block 72 to move along the first slide rail 73 toward the discharge conveyor belt 102. The movement of the push block 72 causes the connecting rod 74 to swing around the push block 72. At this time, the angle between the connecting rod 74 and the first slide rail 73 becomes smaller. Since the second slide rail 76 limits the guide rail 5 to move only along the width direction of the bracket 3, the swing of the connecting rod 74 causes the guide rail 5 to move away from the filling platform 1 through the slider 75. The movement of the guide rail 5 causes the end face of the clamping plate 61 to detach from the filling platform 1, preventing the clamping plate 61 from affecting the bottle entering the filling platform 1.
[0040] When the bottle is conveyed to the filling platform 1, the feeding cylinder 41 is activated, which drives the push rod 42 to move toward the feeding conveyor belt 101. Under the guidance and restriction of the chute 21 and the third slide rail 22, the movement of the push rod 42 will drive the bracket 3 to move toward the feeding conveyor belt 101. The movement of the bracket 3 will drive the guide rail 5 to move. The guide rail 5 will make the clamping assembly 6 gradually approach the bottle and align the gap between the two clamping plates 61 in each clamping assembly 6 with the bottle to be clamped.
[0041] After alignment, the clamping cylinder 71 resets, causing the pusher block 72 to move along the first slide rail 73 toward the feeding conveyor belt 101. At this time, the angle between the connecting rod 74 and the first slide rail 73 increases. The connecting rod 74 drives the guide rail 5 to move toward the filling platform 1 via the slider 75. The movement of the guide rail 5 causes the clamping plate 61 to approach the bottle. The bottle enters the gap of the corresponding clamping component 6. The clamping plate 61 effectively clamps the bottle, effectively preventing the bottle from shaking or even tipping over due to external factors during filling and conveying. This ensures the stability of the bottle on the filling platform 1, thereby improving the filling efficiency of the bottle.
[0042] After clamping, the filling device fills the bottle. After filling, the feeding cylinder 41 resets and drives the push rod 42 to move toward the discharge conveyor belt 102. The movement of the push rod 42 will bring the bottle held by the bracket 3 and the clamping assembly 6 closer to the discharge conveyor belt 102. After the bottle moves to one station, the above operation is repeated until all the bottles on the production line are filled.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 To further improve the stability of the clamping component 6, a baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the filling platform 1 away from the support 3. The baffle 8 limits the bottle's position away from the support 3, preventing the clamping component 6 from pushing the bottle out of the filling platform 1 when the guide rail 5 moves toward the filling platform 1. At the same time, it effectively limits the trajectory of the bottle when it enters the filling platform 1, preventing the bottle from leaving the clamping range of the clamping plate 61 and being unable to be pushed, thereby further reducing the possibility of the bottle tipping over.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide rail 5 has a scale mark 52 on the end face away from the filling platform 1. Each clamping plate 61 has a pointer 611 detachably connected to the end near the guide rail 5 by bolts. The pointer 611 is slidably connected to the guide rail 5.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide rail 5 has multiple T-slots 51. In this embodiment, there are two T-slots 51. Each T-slot 51 contains multiple T-nuts 9. In this embodiment, each T-slot 51 contains 16 T-nuts 9. Every two T-nuts 9 correspond to one clamping plate 61. Each clamping plate 61 is threaded with an adjusting screw 91 that corresponds one-to-one with the two T-nuts 9. The end of the adjusting screw 91 extends into the T-slot 51 and is fixedly connected to the T-nut 9. The clamping plate 61 is detachably connected to the slide rail through the T-nuts 9 and the adjusting screw 91.
[0046] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the specifications of the bottles to be filled change, the worker can rotate the adjusting screw 91 to change the state of the T-nut 9 in the T-slot 51. After the T-nut 9 is released from its locked state in the T-slot 51, the worker can slide the T-nut 9 to change the distance between the two clamping plates 61. The worker can then accurately determine whether the distance between the two clamping plates 61 meets the requirements of the bottle to be clamped by using the scale mark 52 and the pointer 611. After adjustment, the worker can tighten the T-nut 9 in the T-slot 51 again by adjusting the screw 91 to fix the clamping plates 61. This design enhances the compatibility of the clamping assembly 6 with bottles of different specifications and improves the applicability of the conveying clamping mechanism. At the same time, the scale mark 52 and the pointer 611 make it easy for the worker to accurately adjust the distance between the two clamping plates 61 according to the specifications of the bottle, avoiding problems such as the bottle shaking or tipping due to improper clamping or damage to the bottle due to excessive clamping.
[0047] The implementation principle of a large bottle clamping and conveying mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: When the bottle moves to the filling platform 1, the clamping cylinder 71 pushes the push block 72 to move along the first slide rail 73 toward the discharge conveyor belt 102. The movement of the push block 72 causes the connecting rod 74 to swing around the push block 72. At this time, the included angle between the connecting rod 74 and the first slide rail 73 becomes smaller. Since the second slide rail 76 limits the guide rail 5 to move only along the width direction of the bracket 3, the swing of the connecting rod 74 causes the guide rail 5 to move away from the filling platform 1 through the slider 75. The movement of the guide rail 5 causes the end face of the clamping plate 61 to detach from the filling platform 1, preventing the clamping plate 61 from affecting the bottle entering the filling platform 1.
[0048] When the bottle is conveyed to the filling platform 1, the feeding cylinder 41 is activated, which drives the push rod 42 to move toward the feeding conveyor belt 101. Under the guidance and restriction of the chute 21 and the third slide rail 22, the movement of the push rod 42 will drive the bracket 3 to move toward the feeding conveyor belt 101. The movement of the bracket 3 will drive the guide rail 5 to move. The guide rail 5 will make the clamping assembly 6 gradually approach the bottle and align the gap between the two clamping plates 61 in each clamping assembly 6 with the bottle to be clamped.
[0049] After alignment, the clamping cylinder 71 resets, causing the pusher block 72 to move along the first slide rail 73 toward the feeding conveyor belt 101. At this time, the angle between the connecting rod 74 and the first slide rail 73 increases. The connecting rod 74 drives the guide rail 5 to move toward the filling platform 1 via the slider 75. The movement of the guide rail 5 causes the clamping plate 61 to approach the bottle. The bottle enters the gap of the corresponding clamping component 6. The clamping plate 61 effectively clamps the bottle, effectively preventing the bottle from shaking or even tipping over due to external factors during filling and conveying. This ensures the stability of the bottle on the filling platform 1, thereby improving the filling efficiency of the bottle.
[0050] After clamping, the filling device fills the bottle. After filling, the feeding cylinder 41 resets and drives the push rod 42 to move toward the discharge conveyor belt 102. The movement of the push rod 42 will bring the bottle held by the bracket 3 and the clamping assembly 6 closer to the discharge conveyor belt 102. After the bottle moves to one station, the above operation is repeated until all the bottles on the production line are filled.
[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
