[0030] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.

[0031] See attached document Figure 1To be continued Figure 7 As shown, a circulating bucket feeding mechanism includes a driving device 1, a circulating rotating device 2 provided at the output end of the driving device 1, a plurality of clamps 3 evenly spaced on the outer side of the circulating rotating device 2 for engaging the neck of the bucket, and a tightening device 4 provided on one side of the circulating rotating device 2 for fixing the neck of the bucket into the corresponding clamp 3.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the circulating rotating device 2 includes an installation plate 21 arranged along the filling line and turntables 22 respectively arranged at both ends of the installation plate 21. The two turntables 22 are connected by a chain 23, and each clamp 3 is fixedly connected to the corresponding chain 23. The outer circular surface of the turntable 22 is provided with a plurality of protruding teeth that can be engaged in the chain 23, so that the drive device 1 can drive the turntable 22 to rotate, thereby driving the chain 23 and the clamp 3 to rotate cyclically.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving device 1 includes a first motor 11 arranged horizontally and a converter 12 arranged at the output end of the first motor 11. The output shaft of the converter 12 is arranged vertically upward, and the output end of the converter 12 is fixedly connected to the center of any turntable 22. Thus, the first motor 11 drives the converter 12 and in turn drives the turntable 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of cyclically feeding the bucket.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, before the production and filling operation, the corresponding clamp 3 can be replaced so that the inner diameter of the clamp 3 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the neck of the water bucket in this batch of filling. In this way, with the cooperation of the tightening device 4, the bucket body can be kept stable, not spilled, and tightly sealed during the filling and capping operations.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a groove 211 is provided at the end of the mounting plate 21 away from the driving device 1, allowing the turntable 22 to adjust its mounting position. A slider 212, which can be fixedly connected to the corresponding turntable 22, is provided within the groove 211. A limiting member is provided at the open end of the groove 211 to limit the sliding distance of the slider 212; preferably, this limiting member is a fixing pin disposed on the inner wall of the groove 211. Thus, by sliding the corresponding end turntable 22, the rotation circumference of this circulating barrel feeding mechanism can be adjusted, thereby controlling the number of empty barrels filled in each round and providing users with more production mode options.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, a groove 31 is provided on one side of the clamp 3 so as to engage with the neck of the barrel. An anti-slip surface 32 is provided on the outer side of the groove 31. The anti-slip surface 32 is provided on the upper end face of the clamp 3. Two through holes 33 are also provided on the upper end face of the clamp 3 for fixed connection with the chain 23, so that the chain 23 drives the clamp 3 and the barrel to rotate in a cycle.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device 4 includes a second motor 41 arranged horizontally, a top rod 42 provided at the output end of the second motor 41, and a fixing frame 43 for fixing the second motor 41, wherein the top rod 42 is arranged directly opposite the center of the clamp 3, and the fixing frame 43 is provided with a mounting hole at the center for the output end of the second motor 41 to pass through.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, a retaining plate is sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor 41, and two limiting rods 5 are provided on the side of the fixing frame 43 to limit the extension length of the output shaft of the second motor 41. The two limiting rods 5 are arranged parallel to each other at intervals and are both perpendicular to the output shaft of the second motor 41. The two limiting rods 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the retaining plate to limit the reciprocating extension distance of the output shaft of the second motor 41, thereby ensuring the fixation of the neck of the barrel while avoiding damage to the barrel.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tightening device 4 can be used to assist the sealing step of the filling production line in the capping operation, and can ensure the stability of the barrel during the capping operation. When the empty barrel rotates to the bottom of the sealing machine under the drive of the clamp 3, the second motor 41 will drive the top rod 42 to tighten the neck of the barrel. Then, the cap feeding machine of the filling production line will place the barrel cap above the barrel opening. Furthermore, under the action of the sealing machine, the capping machine will drive the pressure cap to perform the capping operation. Therefore, it can effectively connect the various links of filling and further improve the overall filling efficiency.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
