TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of suspension conveying line, especially to a beverage production intelligent suspension conveying line. BACKGROUND

[0002] The suspension conveying line is a kind of material conveying device suspended in the air, which has the characteristics of flexible arrangement and less space occupation.The existing suspension conveying line includes a track, a moving trolley, a clamp and a driving device.When working, the clamp is used to fix the object, the driving device drives the moving trolley to move along the track, and the object transmission is realized.

[0003] During the beverage production process, the bottles or cans containing beverages often need to be transported.The bottles or cans are generally cylindrical and have no good fixed position, which leads to unstable fixation of the bottles or cans.Therefore, the traditional suspension conveying line cannot well transport the bottles or cans, especially the easy-open cans, which are thin-walled and prone to deformation when using the clamp.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a beverage production intelligent suspension conveying line to solve the above-mentioned problem of inconvenient transportation of beverage bottles or cans. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a beverage production intelligent suspension conveying line to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation of bottles or cans in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the present utility model provides a beverage production intelligent suspension conveying line, which comprises a suspension guide rail, a moving trolley, a trolley driving chain and a fixing clamp.The suspension guide rail is suspendedly installed, the moving trolley is installed on the suspension guide rail and guided and limited by the suspension guide rail, the trolley driving chain is located above the suspension guide rail, the bottom of the trolley driving chain is assembled with the top of the moving trolley, and the trolley driving chain is driven by a motor to drive the moving trolley to displace, and the fixing clamp is installed below the moving trolley.

[0007] The fixing clamp comprises a supporting suspension bolt, the supporting suspension bolt is installed at the bottom of the moving trolley, the lower end of the supporting suspension bolt is provided with an extension rod, the lower end of the extension rod is provided with a connecting limiting plate, and the edge of the lower end of the connecting limiting plate is circularly arrayed with a plurality of elastic clamping pieces with the axis of the connecting limiting plate as the origin.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic clamping piece is a memory metal piece, and the lower end of the elastic clamping piece is provided in S shape.

[0009] Preferably, a bottle mouth limiting hole is provided at the center of the bottom axis of the connecting limiting plate, and a flexible airbag is provided inside the bottle mouth limiting hole, the flexible airbag being rugby ball shaped.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the flexible airbag is flush with the bottom of the connecting limiting plate, and the flexible airbag can expand and contract.

[0011] Preferably, the edge of the bottle mouth limiting hole is provided with a horn groove.

[0012] Preferably, the support suspension bolt can rotate at the bottom of the moving trolley.

[0013] Preferably, the extension rod has a threaded rod at one end near the support suspension bolt, and the threaded rod is threaded to the lower end of the support suspension bolt.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom edge of the suspension guide rail is provided with a clamp rotation drive bar, and the outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar can contact and rub against the outer surface of the support suspension bolt.

[0017] As described above, the intelligent suspended conveyor line for beverage production of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention sets several elastic clips at the bottom of the connecting limiting plate and arranges all the elastic clips in an equidistant circular array to form a clamping space with a circular inner diameter. The elastic clips apply pressure to the upper part of the outer surface of the bottle or can through deformation, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the beverage bottle or can and realizing the effect of conveniently fixing and transporting beverage bottles or cans.

[0019] Meanwhile, by opening a bottle mouth limiting hole at the bottom axis of the connecting limiting plate and setting a flexible airbag at the axis of the bottle mouth limiting hole, when fixing a bottle with a small diameter, the flexible airbag can be inserted from the bottle mouth. The deformation pressure of the flexible airbag cooperates with the inner wall of the bottle to clamp it, thus achieving the effect of fixing and transporting small-diameter beverage bottles.

[0020] Furthermore, by rotatably connecting the support suspension bolt to the bottom of the mobile trolley, and setting a clamp rotation drive bar at the edge of the bottom of the suspension guide rail, when the mobile trolley moves the fixed clamp, the support suspension bolt will rub against the outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar, and the friction will drive the support suspension bolt to rotate, thereby causing the beverage bottle or can to rotate, so as to facilitate the appearance inspection device to perform appearance inspection.

[0032] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0034] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent suspended conveyor line for beverage production, including: a suspension guide rail 1, a moving trolley 2, a trolley drive chain 3, and a fixing fixture 4. The suspension guide rail 1 is suspended by a bracket, and the moving trolley 2 is mounted on the suspension guide rail 1 and guided and limited by the suspension guide rail 1. The trolley drive chain 3 is located above the suspension guide rail 1, and the travel path of the trolley drive chain 3 is the same as that of the suspension guide rail 1. Both ends of the trolley drive chain 3 are supported by rollers or gears. The bottom of the trolley drive chain 3 is assembled with the top of the moving trolley 2. When the trolley drive chain 3 is displaced, the moving trolley 2 is pulled and moved. The trolley drive chain 3 is driven by a motor through rollers or gears to move the moving trolley 2. The fixing fixture 4 is installed below the moving trolley 2 to fix and clamp the bottles or cans containing beverages, so that the bottles or cans containing beverages move with the moving trolley 2.

[0035] Specifically, the fixing fixture 4 includes a support suspension bolt 401, which is installed at the bottom of the moving trolley 2. An extension rod 402 is provided at the lower end of the support suspension bolt 401 for downward extension. A connecting limiting plate 403 is provided at the lower end of the extension rod 402. Several elastic clamping pieces 404 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the connecting limiting plate 403, forming a clamping space with a circular inner diameter. The elastic clamping pieces 404 apply pressure to the upper part of the outer surface of the bottle or can through deformation, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the beverage bottle or can. The upper part of the can has high hardness; therefore, the clamping pressure will not cause deformation of the can. At the same time, this clamping method facilitates the clamping and removal of the bottle or can.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic clip 404 of this invention is a shape memory metal sheet. Shape memory metal has good toughness and deformation recovery ability, and has a long service life. The lower end of the elastic clip 404 is set in an S-shape. When clamping bottles and cans, the S-shape creates multiple protrusions and concave surfaces. The cooperation of the protrusions and concave surfaces can more stably clamp and fix the bottles and cans.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, when the diameter of the bottle to be fixed is much smaller than the inward deformation distance of the elastic clip 404, the elastic clip 404 cannot fix the bottle. Therefore, in some embodiments, the bottom axis of the connecting limiting plate 403 of this utility model is provided with a bottle mouth limiting hole 405 for inserting such small-diameter bottles. After the bottle is inserted into the bottle mouth limiting hole 405, it will be squeezed under pressure. The flexible airbag 406 provided inside the bottle mouth limiting hole 405 deforms and extends into the bottle. Under the pressure of deformation, the flexible airbag 406 fixes and holds the bottle from the inside. The flexible airbag 406 is rugby ball shaped. The pointed end of the flexible airbag 406 makes it easier to insert into the bottle. The gradually increasing diameter of the flexible airbag 406 provides pressure to the inner wall of the bottle, fixing the bottle.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower end of the flexible airbag 406 of this invention is flush with the bottom of the connecting limiting plate 403. When the bottle or can is normally clamped and fixed by the elastic clip 404, the flexible airbag 406 will not obstruct the clamping of the beverage bottle or can. The flexible airbag 406 can expand and contract, thereby adapting to the fixing of bottles with a wider range of inner diameters.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the edge of the bottle mouth limiting hole 405 of this utility model is provided with a flared groove 407. When a bottle needs to be inserted into the bottle mouth limiting hole 405 for fixing, if the bottle mouth is not directly aligned with the bottle mouth limiting hole 405, it will be guided towards the bottle mouth limiting hole 405 by the inclined surface of the flared groove 407. This eliminates the need for precise calibration of the bottle's placement, improving the convenience of fixing the bottle.

[0040] It should be noted that the support suspension bolt 401 of this utility model can rotate at the bottom of the moving trolley 2. When the support suspension bolt 401 rotates, it can drive the clamped bottle or can to rotate, so as to facilitate the appearance inspection of the bottle or can.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the extension rod 402 of this invention has a threaded rod 4021 at one end near the support suspension bolt 401, and the threaded rod 4021 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the support suspension bolt 401. Through the above technical solution, the support suspension bolt 401 and the extension rod 402 can be easily assembled and disassembled.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom edge of the suspension guide rail 1 of this utility model is provided with a clamp rotation drive bar 5. The position of the clamp rotation drive bar 5 is set according to the position of the appearance inspection device. The outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar 5 can contact and rub against the outer surface of the support suspension bolt 401. Therefore, when the support suspension bolt 401 passes the position of the clamp rotation drive bar 5, the support suspension bolt 401 will rotate under the action of friction, thereby driving the bottle or can to rotate automatically. This allows the appearance inspection device on the side to perform a comprehensive appearance inspection of the outer surface of the bottle or can.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, both ends of the clamp rotation drive bar 5 of this utility model are provided with ramps, so that the support suspension bolt 401 can make smooth contact with the clamp rotation drive bar 5. This avoids hard impact between the support suspension bolt 401 and the clamp rotation drive bar 5, which would cause the beverage bottle or can held by the elastic clamp 404 to shake.

[0044] It is worth noting that the contact surface between the clamp rotation drive bar 5 and the support suspension bolt 401 is a rubber surface. This rubber surface effectively increases friction, making the rotation of the support suspension bolt 401 more stable. The clamp rotation drive bar 5 has an internal cavity, and the rubber surface can deform into the cavity under pressure. After the support suspension bolt 401 contacts the outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar 5, the support suspension bolt 401 will press inward against the clamp rotation drive bar 5, creating a depression on its surface to increase friction. If the outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar 5 were a hard plane, when the object clamped on the elastic clamp 404 is heavy, the support suspension bolt 401 might slide directly over the outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar 5 without rotating.

[0045] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] The beverage bottle or can is lifted onto the platform using a lifting device or manually. When the bottle or can has a suitable diameter, the bottom of the elastic clip 404 will be compressed and unfolded. At this time, the elastic clip 404 will clamp and fix the bottle or can to its outer surface under its own elastic force. When the bottle diameter is too small to be clamped and fixed by the elastic clip 404, the upper end of the bottle will be inserted into the bottle mouth limiting hole 405, and the flexible airbag 406 will contact the inner wall of the bottle. The deformation pressure of the flexible airbag 406 will fix and clamp the bottle from the inside.

[0047] During the conveying process of bottles and cans, the support suspension bolt 401 will come into contact with and rub against the specially designed clamp rotation drive bar 5, causing the support suspension bolt 401 to rotate, thereby driving the bottle or can to rotate. At this time, the appearance inspection device set on the side can be conveniently used to inspect the appearance of the bottle or can.

[0048] In summary, the intelligent suspended conveyor line for beverage production of this utility model, by setting several elastic clamping pieces 404 at the bottom of the connecting limiting plate 403 and arranging all the elastic clamping pieces 404 in an equidistant circular array to form a clamping space with a circular inner diameter, applies pressure to the upper part of the outer surface of the bottle or can through the deformation pressure of the elastic clamping pieces 404, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the beverage bottle or can, and achieving the effect of conveniently fixing and transporting beverage bottles or cans.

[0049] Meanwhile, this utility model provides a bottle mouth limiting hole 405 at the bottom axis of the connecting limiting plate 403, and a flexible airbag 406 at the axis of the bottle mouth limiting hole 405. When fixing a bottle with a small diameter, the flexible airbag 406 can be inserted from the bottle mouth. The deformation pressure of the flexible airbag 406 cooperates with the inner wall of the bottle to clamp it, thus achieving the effect of fixing and transporting small-diameter beverage bottles.

[0050] Furthermore, by rotatably connecting the support suspension bolt 401 to the bottom of the mobile trolley 2, and setting the clamp rotation drive bar 5 on the edge of the bottom of the suspension guide rail 1, when the mobile trolley 2 moves the fixed clamp 4, the support suspension bolt 401 will rub against the outer surface of the clamp rotation drive bar 5, and the friction will drive the support suspension bolt 401 to rotate, thereby driving the beverage bottle or can to rotate, so as to facilitate the appearance inspection device to perform appearance inspection.

[0051] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
