Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic bucket handling technology, specifically an automated moving clamp for finished plastic buckets. Background Technology
[0002] In the plastics industry, plastic drums are a common container widely used in chemical, food, and pharmaceutical fields. With the continuous expansion of production scale and the gradual improvement of automation, optimizing and improving each stage of the plastic drum production process has become particularly important. In the handling of finished plastic drums, traditional manual handling methods have many drawbacks. Manual handling is labor-intensive; prolonged repetitive work easily leads to worker fatigue and injury, increasing labor costs and management difficulties for enterprises. Manual handling is inefficient, failing to meet the needs of large-scale production and easily affecting the smooth operation of the entire production process. Furthermore, improper handling during manual handling can damage plastic drums, affecting product quality and corporate reputation.
[0003] Currently, there are some devices on the market for handling plastic buckets, but these devices often suffer from problems such as complex structure, inconvenient operation, and poor adaptability. For example, some handling equipment requires complex control systems and power sources, which not only increases the cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, but also makes it prone to malfunctions during actual operation, affecting the continuity of production. At the same time, some handling equipment has poor adaptability to different sizes of plastic buckets and cannot meet diverse production needs.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automated moving clamp for finished plastic buckets. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automated moving clamp for finished plastic buckets, which has the advantages of automated clamping and the ability to clamp plastic buckets of different sizes, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated moving clamp for finished plastic buckets, comprising a lifting beam, columns, adjusting crossbars, and grippers: a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting beam for connecting the device to a lifting device; there are two columns, located on both sides of the bottom end of the lifting beam; a hanging block is fixedly connected to the top of each column, and the hanging block is slidably engaged with the surface of the lifting beam; the adjusting crossbar is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the column; there are four grippers, located on both sides of the bottom end of the two adjusting crossbars; the grippers are arranged in an inward arc shape; an extension column is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each gripper; an end plate is rotatably connected to the end of the extension column; and a clamp is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each gripper.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the hanging block is threaded with a locking bolt, and the end of the locking bolt abuts against the side of the hanging beam.
[0008] Preferably, the extension column is fixed to the end plate by locking bolts.
[0009] Preferably, a sleeve block is fixedly connected to the top of the gripper, and inner grooves are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the adjusting crossbar. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove, and the sleeve block is slidably sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod.
[0010] Preferably, the column is provided with an internal threaded sleeve, and traction rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the internal threaded sleeve. The bottom end of the traction rod is rotatably connected to the top end of the sleeve block. Side grooves are opened on both sides of the surface of the internal threaded sleeve. A retaining strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the column, and the retaining strip is slidably engaged with the side groove.
[0011] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the column, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The internal threaded sleeve is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This type of automated moving clamp for plastic buckets features two uprights located on either side of the bottom of the lifting beam, providing a stable support structure for the entire device. This symmetrical layout enhances the stability of the device when carrying plastic buckets, reduces the risk of tipping, and ensures the safety of the plastic buckets and the surrounding environment during handling. It also helps extend the device's lifespan. The lifting block slides onto the surface of the lifting beam and abuts against the side of the beam via a locking bolt, allowing the position of the lifting block on the beam to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. This feature adapts to plastic buckets of different heights and sizes, as well as various complex working scenarios, further improving the device's versatility and adaptability, and broadening its application range. The extension column is fixed to the end plate via a second locking bolt, effectively ensuring the stability of the grippers during operation. This robust connection prevents the grippers from loosening or shifting during the gripping and handling of plastic buckets, ensuring reliable gripping and safe transport. It reduces the risk of accidents such as buckets slipping due to gripper instability. The sleeve at the tip of the gripper engages with the sliding bar on the upper surface of the adjusting crossbar, allowing the gripper to move precisely in a straight line along the sliding bar. This not only helps achieve accurate positioning and gripping of the plastic bucket but also guides it to a certain extent, maintaining a stable posture during transport and preventing damage caused by shaking or collisions.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3As shown, an automated moving clamp for finished plastic buckets includes a lifting beam 100, uprights 200, adjusting crossbars 300, and grippers 400. A connecting rod 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting beam 100 for connecting the device to a lifting device. The lifting beam 100 serves as the main frame of the entire device and is connected to external lifting equipment via the connecting rod 101, facilitating overall movement and positioning. Two uprights 200 are located on either side of the bottom of the lifting beam 100. A hanging block 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 100. The hanging block 201 is slidably engaged with the surface of the column 100. The adjusting crossbar 300 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the column 200. There are four grippers 400, which are located on both sides of the bottom end of the two adjusting crossbars 300. The grippers 400 are arranged in an inward arc shape. An extension column 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the gripper 400. An end plate 404 is rotatably connected to the end of the extension column 403. A 402 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gripper 400.
[0025] Preferably, the surface of the hanging block 201 is threaded with a locking bolt 202, the end of which abuts against the side of the hanging beam 100. The hanging block 201 can slide on the surface of the hanging beam 100 and be fixed by the locking bolt 202, thereby achieving position adjustment to accommodate plastic buckets of different sizes.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, the extension column 403 is fixed to the end plate 404 by locking bolt 405, which allows the deflection angle of the end plate 404 to be adjusted to match the shape of the plastic bucket.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, a sleeve block 401 is fixedly connected to the top of the gripper 400, and inner grooves 301 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the adjusting crossbar 300. A sliding rod 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 301, and the sleeve block 401 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 302.
