[0037] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, after a row of glass bottles come out from the annealing furnace conveying line, the translation driving assembly 300 drives the clamping driving assembly 400 to move above the row of glass bottles.

[0038] The lifting driving assembly 200 drives the translation driving assembly 300 to move downwards, so that the two clamping rods 500 are located on the front and back sides of the row of glass bottles, and then the clamping driving assembly 400 drives the two clamping rods 500 to clamp the row of glass bottles.

[0039] The lifting driving assembly 200 drives the translation driving assembly 300 to move upwards, so that the row of glass bottles are clamped and separated from the annealing furnace conveying line, and then the translation driving assembly 300 drives the clamping driving assembly 400 to move to the transfer conveying line, so that the row of glass bottles are moved above the transfer conveying line.

[0040] The lifting driving assembly 200 drives the translation driving assembly 300 to move downwards, the clamping driving assembly 400 drives the two clamping rods 500 to move away from each other so that the row of glass bottles are placed on the transfer conveying line, the lifting driving assembly 200 drives the translation driving assembly 300 to move upwards so that the clamping rods 500 are separated from the row of glass bottles, and finally the transfer conveying line transfers the row of glass bottles to the next process.

[0042] In some embodiments, the glass bottle translation machine is further provided with a controller electrically connected to the translation driving assembly 300 and the lifting driving assembly 200. The controller can adjust the stroke of the lifting driving assembly 200 driving the translation driving assembly 300 to move up and down, and the controller can also adjust the stroke of the translation driving assembly 300 driving the clamping driving assembly 400 to move forward and backward.

[0047] After a row of glass bottles is output from the annealing furnace conveying line, the translation driving assembly 300 drives the clamping driving assembly 400 to move above the row of glass bottles.

[0048] The lifting driving assembly 200 drives the translation driving assembly 300 to move downwards, so that the two clamping rods 500 are located on the front and back sides of the row of glass bottles, and then the clamping driving assembly 400 drives the two clamping rods 500 to move close to each other to clamp the row of glass bottles.

Finally, the transfer conveyor line transfers the row of glass bottles to the next process.

[0051] During the above process, the clamping drive component 400, the lifting drive component 200, and the translation drive component 300 operate sequentially to avoid shaking or loosening due to any two components not stopping or not being in position.

[0052] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the glass bottle translation machine also includes a first conveyor line 600 and a second conveyor line 700. The first conveyor line 600 is located in front of the second conveyor line 700. The translation drive assembly 300 drives the clamping drive assembly 400 to reciprocate between the rear end of the first conveyor line 600 and the front end of the second conveyor line 700.

[0053] When transferring a row of glass bottles between the first conveyor line 600 and the second conveyor line 700, the distance between every two rows of adjacent glass bottles on the second conveyor line 700 can be limited by the transfer stroke. During the transfer of a row of glass bottles by the lifting drive assembly 200, the translation drive assembly 300, and the clamping drive assembly 400, the first conveyor line 600 and the second conveyor line 700 continue to operate, which helps to improve operating efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the photoelectric switch 800 is located at the rear end of the first conveyor line 600.

[0055] The photoelectric switch 800 detects when the glass bottle on the first conveyor line 600 reaches the predetermined position.

[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, soft pads 510 are provided on the opposite side walls of the two clamping rods 500. For example, soft pads 510 are provided on the rear side wall of the clamping rod 500 located in front, and soft pads 510 are provided on the front side wall of the clamping rod 500 located in rear.

[0057] The clamping rod 500 is equipped with a soft pad 510 to hold the glass bottle, preventing the glass bottle from being scratched during the clamping process.

[0058] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the top of the clamping rod 500 is connected to the clamping drive assembly 400, and a soft pad 510 is provided on the lower side of the clamping rod 500.

[0059] A space is reserved between the clamping drive assembly 400 and the soft pad 510 to prevent the top of the glass bottle from contacting the clamping drive assembly 400 and to ensure the appearance of the glass bottle.

[0060] In some embodiments, the lifting drive assembly 200 is provided with a lead screw drive mechanism.

[0061] The lead screw drive mechanism has high transmission precision, ensuring the accuracy of the glass bottle's up and down movement, and guaranteeing the placement and clamping height of the glass bottle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the translation drive assembly 300 is provided with a synchronous belt drive mechanism.

[0063] Synchronous belt drive mechanisms offer smoother transmission and higher speeds, facilitating rapid transfer of glass bottles.

[0064] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the clamping drive assembly 400 is equipped with a servo electric cylinder.

[0065] In this embodiment, the clamping drive assembly 400 includes a mounting bracket 410, a servo motor 420, a lead screw 430, a nut 440, a slider 450, two connecting rods 460, and two parallelogram connecting rods 470.

[0066] A servo motor 420 is mounted on a mounting bracket 410. A lead screw 430 is connected to the servo motor 420 and extends vertically. The servo motor 420 drives the lead screw 430 to rotate around its vertical axis. A nut 440 is fitted onto the outside of the lead screw 430. A slider 450 is connected to the nut 440 and slides vertically on the mounting bracket 410. Therefore, when the servo motor 420 drives the lead screw 430 to rotate, the nut 440 drives the slider 450 to move vertically. The upper ends of a connecting rod 460 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the slider 450, respectively. Two parallelogram connecting rods 470 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the mounting bracket 410, respectively. The lower ends of the two connecting rods 460 are hinged to the two parallelogram connecting rods 470, respectively. Each parallelogram connecting rod 470 has a downwardly extending gripper at its bottom, and the bottom of the gripper is connected to a clamping rod 500.

[0067] By incorporating a servo motor 420, a lead screw 430, a nut 440, a slider 450, two connecting rods 460, and two parallelogram connecting rods 470, the distance between the two clamping rods 500 can be controlled more precisely. This allows for accurate adjustment of the spacing between the two clamping rods 500 according to the diameter of the glass bottle, thereby improving the clamping effect.

[0068] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
