[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a conveying mechanism for a rectangular container designed to withstand rotation includes two adjacent rotary conveying mechanisms 1. Each rotary conveying mechanism 1 includes a rotary disk 2 capable of rotational movement. The rotary disk 2 is provided with a plurality of container grippers 3 spaced apart for clamping the opening of a rectangular container 6. Each container gripper 3 includes a base plate 31, on which a pair of clamping plates 32 are hinged. Each clamping plate 32 is provided with a clamping part 321 for clamping the rectangular container.

[0020] Each container holder 3 on the two rotary conveyor mechanisms 1 has an anti-rotation surface 5 at its bottom for abutting the body 61 of a rectangular container 6. Each anti-rotation surface 5 is located inside the clamping part 321 of the corresponding container holder 3 and outside the corresponding rotary table 2. When the opening of each rectangular container 6 is clamped by the container holder 3, the body 61 of the rectangular container 6 abuts against the anti-rotation surface 5 corresponding to that container holder 3. When the rectangular container 6 is transferred from one rotary table 2 to a container holder on another rotary table, the two anti-rotation surfaces 5 of the pair of container holders 3 that transfer the rectangular containers 6 abut against the sides of the body 61 of the rectangular container 6, respectively. Figure 3 As shown.

[0021] Each container holder 3 is mounted on the rotary table 2 via a base plate 31. An L-shaped bending plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 31. The L-shaped bending plate 7 includes a horizontal plate 71 and a vertical plate 72. The horizontal plate 71 is located at the bottom of the base plate 31 of the container holder 3 and is fixed to the base plate 31. The vertical plate 72 protrudes from the rotary table 2, and the outer wall of the vertical plate 72 on one side of the clamping part 321 of the container holder 3 forms an anti-rotation surface 5.

[0022] The horizontal plate 71 is provided with a pair of elongated slotted mounting holes 711 for fixing to the base plate 31. The purpose of providing the elongated slotted mounting holes 711 is to allow for a certain adjustment margin when the L-shaped bent plate 7 is connected to the base plate 31, so as to overcome installation or processing errors and ensure that when the rectangular container 6 is clamped in the container holder 3, the body 61 of the rectangular container 6 can rest against the anti-rotation surface 5, thereby effectively preventing rotation during the rotation operation. At the same time, it also ensures that when the rectangular container 6 is transferred from one rotary table 2 to the container holder on another rotary table, the two sides of the body 61 of the rectangular container 6 are blocked by the two anti-rotation surfaces 5, thereby effectively preventing rotation during the container transfer process.

[0023] Example 2: Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the base plate is an L-shaped bent plate 7, which includes a horizontal plate 71 and a vertical plate 72. Each container holder 3 is fixedly mounted on the rotary table 2 via the horizontal plate 71. The vertical plate 72 protrudes from the rotary table 2, and the outer wall of the vertical plate 72 on one side of the clamping part 321 forms an anti-rotation surface 5. The installation of the container holder 3 in this embodiment can be referred to... Figure 3 The L-shaped bending plate 7 can be directly fixed to the rotary table 2, which further simplifies the structure.

[0024] Example 3: As Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the hinged connection structure between each clamping piece 32 and the base plate 31 includes: a columnar nut 8, the columnar body 81 of the columnar nut 8 passing through the clamping piece 32 and the mounting sleeve 9 and fixed to the base plate 31; a bearing is also provided between the columnar body 81 of the columnar nut 8 and the clamping piece 32; a wear-resistant washer 33 is provided between the nut body 82 of the columnar nut 8 and the clamping piece 32; the lower end of the columnar body 81 of the columnar nut 8 extends out of the base plate 31; and a pair of columnar bodies 81 extending out of the base plate 31 form an anti-rotation surface 5 on one side of the clamping part 321. The installation of the container holder 3 described in this embodiment can be referred to... Figure 3 The base plate 31 is fixed to the rotary table 2, and a pair of columnar bodies 81 protrude from the base plate 31 and extend out of the rotary table 2. This embodiment provides a new structural form for the anti-rotation surface 5, and the structure is simple and practical.

[0025] The aforementioned anti-rotation rectangular container conveying mechanism has a simple and ingenious structure, few parts, and low equipment cost. It can effectively prevent the rectangular container from rotating during rotational movement and during handover, thereby ensuring that the rectangular container's posture does not change during the conveying process. This ensures that every step of the rectangular container filling production process can be carried out accurately and without error, greatly improving the efficiency of rectangular container filling production.
