Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production technology, specifically to a bottle-holding device for linear dairy product filling. Background Technology

[0002] Utility model patent CN213895152U discloses a bottle-holding mechanism, which includes a pair of clamps, each consisting of two bottle-holding blocks. The end faces of the two bottle-holding blocks that meet have bottle-holding arc-shaped openings, forming cavities for encircling the bottle. A bottle-holding cylinder is connected to the outer end face of each bottle-holding block and driven by it. A bottle-clamping block is located below the cavity of each bottle-holding block, with a clamping notch corresponding to the bottle-holding arc-shaped opening. An anti-slip strip is provided on the inner wall of the clamping notch, and anti-slip ridges are provided on the end face of the anti-slip strip. The bottle-holding cylinder pushes out the two bottle-holding blocks, allowing the bottle to be encircled by the bottle-holding arc-shaped openings, while the clamping blocks clamp the outer wall of the bottle. The anti-slip ridges on the anti-slip strip prevent the bottle from sliding, ensuring a firm grip on the bottle and preventing movement during capping operations.

[0003] When this bottle-holding mechanism is in use, the position of the bottles placed on the conveyor belt will be slightly shaken due to the transport of the conveyor belt, causing slight displacement of the bottles on the conveyor belt. This makes it impossible to effectively separate the bottles when they are clamped, resulting in collisions and squeezing between adjacent bottles, which can easily cause cosmetic damage to the bottles. At the same time, the bottle is usually clamped at the neck of the bottle during filling, which makes the bottle prone to slight tilting after being clamped, which will affect the filling process. In view of this, we propose a bottle-holding device for linear dairy product filling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle-holding device for linear dairy product filling, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A bottle holding device for linear dairy product filling includes a filling equipment for filling a plurality of bottles. The filling equipment is provided with a base, and a bottle holding mechanism is provided on the base. The bottle holding mechanism includes a pair of working platforms, a first holding seat and a second holding seat, and the bottle can be held between the first holding seat and the second holding seat.

[0007] The two working platforms are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the bottle body. Each working platform is equipped with a cylinder on its top. The piston rods of the two cylinders are fixedly connected to the first clamping seat and the second clamping seat, respectively.

[0008] The first clamping seat is located on the rear side of the bottle body. A first clamping plate is fixed at the top position of the front end face of the first clamping seat. Several first guide plates and several abutments are fixed at the bottom position of the front end face of the first clamping seat. The positions of the abutments correspond to the positions of the bottle body.

[0009] The second clamping seat is located on the front side of the bottle body. A second clamping plate is fixed at the top of the rear end face of the second clamping seat. Several second guide plates are fixed at the bottom of the rear end face of the second clamping seat. The positions of the second guide plates are offset from the positions of the first guide plates. Several bottles are separated by the first guide plates and the second guide plates. Several push blocks are also slidably connected at the bottom of the rear end face of the second clamping seat. The number of push blocks is equal to the number of abutment blocks and their positions correspond one-to-one. The tail end of each push block is provided with a spring.

[0010] Preferably, guide seats are provided on both the left and right sides of the cylinder. The guide seats are fixed to the top surface of the work platform. A guide rod is slidably connected inside the guide seat. The end of the guide rod near the first clamp seat is fixedly connected to the first clamp seat, and the end of the guide rod near the second clamp seat is fixedly connected to the second clamp seat.

[0011] In this setup, the guide seat and guide rod work together to provide precise guidance for the movement of the clamping seat, ensuring stable and accurate clamping action and avoiding the impact of movement deviation on the bottle clamping effect.

[0012] Preferably, a stop block is fixed at the head end of the guide rod, and when the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are closed, the stop block abuts against the guide seat;

[0013] In this setting, the stop block abuts against the guide seat to limit excessive movement of the clamping seat, ensuring that the bottle is held in a fixed position and preventing positional deviation from the filling head.

[0014] Preferably, a support base is fixed to the bottom of the working platform, and the support base is fixed to the base;

[0015] In this configuration, the support base enhances the stability of the connection between the work platform and the base, ensuring the overall structural strength of the bottle-holding mechanism and preventing the bottle clamping and filling process from being affected by device shaking.

[0016] Preferably, the first clamping plate has a plurality of first clamping grooves, and the second clamping plate has a plurality of second clamping grooves. The complete shape formed by the first clamping grooves and the second clamping grooves is the same as the outline of the bottle neck. When the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are closed, the bottle neck is clamped between the first clamping grooves and the second clamping grooves.

[0017] In this design, the grooves that conform to the contours of the bottle neck fit snugly against the bottle neck, providing reliable clamping force and effectively preventing the bottle from shaking or shifting during filling.

[0018] Preferably, the length of the first guide plate is greater than the width of the first clamping plate, and the length of the second guide plate is greater than the width of the second clamping plate;

[0019] In this setup, a longer guide plate can be inserted between adjacent bottles in advance to effectively separate them, prevent them from colliding or squeezing each other, protect their appearance, and regulate their position.

[0020] Preferably, the tail of the push block is fixed with a fixed shaft, the tail end of the fixed shaft passes through the second clamping seat and is fixed with a stop shaft, the fixed shaft is slidably connected to the second clamping seat, the spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft, and the spring is located between the push block and the second clamping seat;

[0021] In this configuration, the spring works in conjunction with the fixed shaft, allowing the push block to adaptively adjust the clamping force, ensuring that the middle of the bottle is reliably clamped while avoiding damage to the bottle from rigid clamping.

[0022] Preferably, both the stop block and the push block are elastomeric structures made of rubber material;

[0023] In this design, the rubber elastomer structure provides cushioning to the stop and push blocks, which not only securely clamps the bottle but also reduces damage to the bottle surface, extending the bottle's lifespan.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] 1. The bottle holding device for linear dairy product filling, by setting the positions of the first guide plate and the second guide plate to be staggered and the length to be greater than the width of the clamping plate, allows the first guide plate and the second guide plate to separate several bottles in advance during the bottle clamping process. Even if the bottles are displaced, it can prevent adjacent bottles from colliding and squeezing each other, thereby effectively protecting the appearance of the bottles.

[0026] 2. The bottle-holding device for linear dairy product filling uses a pusher block to press the bottle against the stop block, achieving reliable clamping of the middle of the bottle. At the same time, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate hold the neck of the bottle. This double clamping method can effectively overcome the problem of bottle shaking.

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] Please see Figures 1-7 A bottle-holding device for linear dairy product filling includes a filling equipment 1 for filling a plurality of bottles 2. The filling equipment 1 is provided with a base 11, and a bottle-holding mechanism 3 is provided on the base 11. The bottle-holding mechanism 3 includes a pair of working platforms 31, a first clamping seat 32 and a second clamping seat 33, and the bottle 2 can be clamped between the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two working platforms 31 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the bottle body 2. The bottom of the working platform 31 is fixed with a support base 314, which is fixed on the base 11. The fixed connection between the support base 314 and the base 11 provides stable support for the working platform 31, ensuring the overall structural stability of the bottle holding mechanism and preventing the bottle body 2 from shaking during the clamping process.

[0041] like Figures 2-4 As shown, each working platform 31 is equipped with a cylinder 311 on its top. The piston rods of the two cylinders 311 are fixedly connected to the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33, respectively. By controlling the working state of the two cylinders 311, the cylinders 311 can drive the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33 to move closer or further apart, thereby clamping and releasing the bottle 2. Guide seats 312 are provided on both the left and right sides of the cylinders 311. The guide seats 312 are fixed to the top surface of the working platform 31. Guide rods 313 are slidably connected inside the guide seats 312. The end of the guide rod 313 on the side closer to the first clamping seat 32 is fixedly connected to the first clamping seat 32, and the end of the guide rod 313 on the side closer to the second clamping seat 33 is fixedly connected to the second clamping seat 33. The guide seats 312 and guide rods 313 cooperate to provide guidance for the movement of the clamping seats, ensuring accurate clamping action. A stop block 3131 is fixed at the head end of the guide rod 313. When the first clamping plate 321 and the second clamping plate 331 are closed, the stop block 3131 abuts against the guide seat 312. The abutment between the stop block 3131 and the guide seat 312 can prevent the cylinder 311 from driving the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33 to move excessively, so that the bottle body 2 is clamped and kept in a fixed position, avoiding positional deviation between the bottle body 2 and the filling head of the filling equipment 1, and making the filling more accurate.

[0042] like Figures 2-6 As shown, the first clamping seat 32 is located on the rear side of the bottle body 2, and a first clamping plate 321 is fixed at the top position of the front end face of the first clamping seat 32. The second clamping seat 33 is located on the front side of the bottle body 2, and a second clamping plate 331 is fixed at the top position of the rear end face of the second clamping seat 33. The first clamping plate 321 has several first clamping grooves 3211, and the second clamping plate 331 has several second clamping grooves 3311. The complete shape formed by the first clamping grooves 3211 and the second clamping grooves 3311 is the same as the outline of the bottle neck of the bottle body 2. When the first clamping plate 321 and the second clamping plate 331 are closed, the bottle neck of the bottle body 2 is clamped between the first clamping grooves 3211 and the second clamping grooves 3311, so that after closing, the first clamping plate 321 and the second clamping plate 331 can fit tightly against the bottle neck of the bottle body 2, providing reliable clamping force and ensuring that the bottle body 2 will not shake or shift during the filling process.

[0043] like Figures 2-6As shown, several first guide plates 322 are fixed at the bottom of the front end face of the first clamping seat 32, and several second guide plates 332 are fixed at the bottom of the rear end face of the second clamping seat 33. The positions of the second guide plates 332 and the first guide plates 322 are staggered. Several bottles 2 are separated by the first guide plates 322 and the second guide plates 332. The length of the first guide plate 322 is greater than the width of the first clamping plate 321, and the length of the second guide plate 332 is greater than the width of the second clamping plate 331. During the process of clamping the bottles, the first guide plates 322 and the second guide plates 332 can be inserted between several bottles 2 in advance, so that several bottles are separated by the first guide plates 322 and the second guide plates 332, and the bottles 2 are protected inside, avoiding the collision and squeezing of adjacent bottles 2.

[0044] like Figures 2-7 As shown, several abutments 323 are fixed at the bottom of the front end face of the first clamping seat 32, and the positions of the abutments 323 correspond to the positions of the bottle body 2. Several pushers 333 are slidably connected at the bottom of the rear end face of the second clamping seat 33. The number of pushers 333 is equal to the number of abutments 323, and their positions correspond one-to-one. Both the abutments 323 and the pushers 333 are elastic structures made of rubber material. A spring 3333 is provided at the tail end of the pusher 333, and a fixing shaft 3331 is fixed at the tail end of the pusher 333. The tail end of the fixing shaft 3331 passes through the second clamping seat 33 and is fixed with a stop shaft 3332. The stop shaft 3332 can prevent the fixing shaft 3331 from coming out of the second clamping seat 33. The fixing shaft 3331 is slidably connected to the second clamping seat 33. The spring 3333 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing shaft 3331 and is located between the pusher 333 and the second clamping seat 33. When the cylinder 311 drives the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33 to move toward the bottle body 2, the push block 333 pushes the bottle body 2 against the abutment block 323, so that the bottle body 2 is clamped between the abutment block 323 and the push block 333, achieving reliable clamping of the middle part of the bottle body. In conjunction with the clamping method of the first clamping plate 321 and the second clamping plate 331 clamping the neck of the bottle body 2, this double clamping method can effectively prevent the bottle body 2 from shaking, so as to carry out the filling work.

[0045] In this embodiment of the linear dairy product filling bottle-holding device, the bottle body 2 is first transported to the bottle-holding mechanism 3 via a conveyor belt. At this time, the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33 are in the open state. Then, the two cylinders 311 are activated, causing the piston rods of the two cylinders 311 to push the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33 closer together. Under the guidance of the guide seat 312 and the guide rod 313, the clamping seats move along a precise path. At this time, the first guide plate 322 and the second guide plate 332, due to their staggered design and length greater than the clamping plate, are inserted in advance between adjacent bottles 2, separating several bottles 2 and preventing them from colliding and squeezing each other. The position of the bottle body 2 is initially defined. Then, as the first clamping seat 32 and the second clamping seat 33 approach the bottle body 2, the first clamping groove 3211 on the first clamping plate 321 and the second clamping groove 3311 on the second clamping plate 331 gradually conform to the neck contour of the bottle body 2 until they are completely closed, firmly clamping the neck of the bottle body. Finally, as the clamping seats continue to approach, the push block 333 pushes the bottle body 2 towards the abutment block 323 under the elastic force of the spring 3333. Since both the abutment block 323 and the push block 333 are rubber elastomer structures, they can adaptively adjust the clamping force to achieve reliable clamping of the middle of the bottle body, forming a double stable clamping from top to bottom with the neck clamping. At this time, the bottle body 2 can be filled with dairy products.

[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
