AI Technical Summary
Existing tank packing equipment is prone to damaging the tank and lid, and is costly, failing to effectively protect the tank and lid from scratches, pulls, or abrasions during the packing process.
The system employs a combination of elastic clamps, telescopic devices, springs, and suction cups. The elastic clamps hold the can body in place, while the suction cups assist in adhering to the can lid, avoiding the application of additional force, reducing costs, and increasing packaging material compatibility.
Protect the can body and lid from damage, reduce packing costs, improve packaging material compatibility, and avoid additional shrink wrapping or changes to the packaging box format.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank loading, specifically a tank packing clamp. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, cans are loaded into boxes by using suction cups to pick up the plastic caps from the top of the cans. However, the quality of these plastic caps varies, which can cause them to be pulled open or even come apart during the loading process.
[0003] Some companies use plastic wrapping or box packaging to avoid this problem, but these are not the best options and are more expensive.
[0004] Another issue is that flipping the can 180° and sucking the bottom of the can during packing requires additional conveying space. Also, the plastic cap will be scratched when it comes into contact with the conveying surface, making it very unreliable in actual operation.
[0005] Chinese Patent CN213796555U discloses a cargo gripping device for heavy industrial robots, including a clamping base. A first cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the clamping base, and a rotating disk is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the first cylinder. Two telescopic rods and a second cylinder are fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the rotating disk, with the second cylinder located between the two telescopic rods. Two half-angle gears are symmetrically distributed on the front outer surface of the rotating disk, and the two half-angle gears mesh with each other. This invention is less likely to damage the surface of the can during clamping, reducing the probability of can damage. Simultaneously, it can buffer the shaking of the can due to inertia during gripping and movement, ensuring smooth movement. Furthermore, the cleaning cotton and rubber pad are connected by Velcro for easy disassembly and replacement by the user, and the buffer plate is also detachable for convenient periodic disassembly and maintenance.
[0006] In summary, existing tank clamping and tilting equipment has many drawbacks and cannot both protect the tank from scratches and the plastic cap from being pulled, pinched, or scratched. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a tank packing fixture to solve the above problems.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.
[0009] A can packing fixture includes an elastic clamping plate, a telescopic device, a spring, a suction cup device, and a fixture fixing body. The elastic clamping plate is connected to the telescopic device and has an elastic element. One end of the spring is fixed to the upper end of the telescopic device, and the other end is connected to the elastic clamping plate. The suction cup device is located below the fixture fixing body. By using the elastic element on the elastic clamping plate to clamp the can body, damage to the can body can be avoided, thus protecting the can body. During the packing process, the suction cup device only assists in adsorbing the can lid and is not subjected to any other extra force, thus also protecting the can lid. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional plastic sealing and changing to wrapping boxes, reducing costs and increasing the compatibility of packaging materials, without raising the requirements for can lids.
[0010] Preferably, the elastic clamps are provided in two sets.
[0011] Preferably, the elastic clamp is a semi-open elongated strip, and the elastic elements are arranged opposite to each other.
[0012] Preferably, the inner side of the elastic element is arc-shaped.
[0013] Preferably, the inner side of the elastic element is right-angled.
[0014] Preferably, the telescopic device is a cylinder.
[0015] Preferably, the telescopic device is provided in two sets.
[0016] Preferably, the telescopic device is also connected to a solenoid valve.
[0017] Preferably, the suction cup device consists of a plurality of suction cups.
[0018] Preferably, the suction cup device is connected to the air supply unit.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a can packing fixture, including an elastic clamp, a telescopic device, a spring, a suction cup device, and a fixture fixing body. The five components work together to achieve their function. The elastic element on the elastic clamp clamps the can body, which can prevent damage to the can body and protect the can body. During the packing process, the suction cup device only assists in adsorbing the can lid and is not subjected to any other extra force, which also protects the can lid. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional plastic sealing and changing to wrapping boxes, reducing costs and increasing the compatibility of packaging materials without raising the requirements for the can lid.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] A can packing clamp includes an elastic clamp 1, a telescopic device 2, a spring 3, a suction cup device 4, and a clamp fixing body 5. The elastic clamp 1 is connected to the telescopic device 2, and an elastic element 11 is provided on the elastic clamp 1. One end of the spring 3 is fixed to the upper end of the telescopic device 2, and the other end is connected to the elastic clamp 1. The suction cup device 4 is located below the clamp fixing body 5.
[0027] The elastic clamp 1 is provided in two sets. The elastic clamp 1 is semi-open elongated and the elastic elements 11 are arranged opposite each other. The inner side of the elastic element 11 is arc-shaped. The telescopic device 2 is a cylinder. The telescopic device 2 is provided in two sets. The telescopic device 2 is also connected to a solenoid valve. The suction cup device 4 is composed of several suction cups. The specific number, size and shape of the suction cups can be determined according to the actual working requirements. The suction cup device 4 is connected to the air supply unit. The air supply unit can be an air pump, control valve or other device that can control the gas flow of the suction cups in the suction cup device 4.
[0028] The fixture fixing body 5 can be connected to a robotic arm or other device that can move the whole. This can be determined according to the actual working conditions. This solution aims to improve the fixture. The moving device is not subject to too many restrictions, as long as it can meet the working requirements.
[0029] Working mode: The can is neatly conveyed from the front assembly line to the can boxing fixture. The telescopic device 2 retracts the elastic clamp 1 to clamp the can body, and then the suction cup device 4 is attached to the can lid. The fixture fixing body 5 is moved into the packaging box by the moving device connected to it. After the can is put into the box, the suction cup device 4 first stops suction and then the solenoid valve releases the air. Considering that the telescopic device 2 would damage the packaging box if it directly opened the elastic clamp 1, the telescopic device 2 is only released and not opened. Then, the elastic clamp 1 is pushed open by the spring 3 pre-compressed by the telescopic device 2 to a suitable distance, ensuring that the elastic element 11 on the elastic clamp 1 is away from the can body and does not expand the packaging box (in actual work, the length and elasticity of the spring 3 can be selected in advance according to the gap between the packaging box and the can body). After being pulled out, the can is smoothly put into the packaging box to enter the next process.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Without altering the other technical features mentioned above, the inner side of the elastic element 11 can also be a right angle.
