Description

A bottle clamping mechanism for a bottle washing machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird's nest production technology, and in particular to a bottle clamping mechanism for a bottle washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bird's nest is highly favored by consumers for its unique nutritional value and tonic effects. With the continuous expansion of the bird's nest market, the demand for large-scale and automated production in the bird's nest processing industry is becoming increasingly urgent. As a crucial step in bird's nest processing, the efficiency and safety of the bottle washing process directly affect the quality of the final product. Currently, automated bottle washing machines are widely used in the bird's nest processing industry. The bottle clamping structure is one of the core components of the bottle washing machine, and its performance directly determines the stability and reliability of the washing process.

[0003] Existing bird's nest washing machines typically employ a combination of metal mechanical clamps and nylon bottle clamps. The metal mechanical clamps serve as a fixed structure, providing clamping force, while the nylon bottle clamps are replaced according to different bottle shapes to adapt to different sizes of bird's nest bottles.

[0004] However, in actual production, due to the inability to achieve a good limiting fit between the bird's nest bottle and the clamping component, the clamping component has difficulty maintaining a stable clamping position on the bottle body during high-speed movement, which can easily lead to misalignment. This not only affects the cleanliness of the bottle but may also damage the bird's nest bottle and increase the breakage rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the difficulty in maintaining a stable grip on the bottle body and the tendency for misalignment to occur, and to propose a bottle clamping mechanism for a bottle washing machine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a bottle clamping mechanism for a bottle washing machine, including:

[0008] Mounting base and rotating base rotatably connected to the mounting base;

[0009] A first clamping arm is formed below the rotating seat, and a second clamping arm is rotatably connected to the lower part of the rotating seat. Clamping components can be detachably connected to the opposite surfaces of the first and second clamping arms.

[0010] The second clamping arm is also connected to a drive structure at its tail end, and the mounting base and the rotating base are detachably connected by a shaft assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, a slot is formed on the opposite surface of both the first and second clamping arms, and the clamping member is inserted into the slot;

[0012] A locking structure is provided between the clamping member and the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the slot is opened along the front end of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the tail end of the slot does not penetrate through the back end of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0014] The slot is a dovetail groove, and the back end of the clamping member is formed with a dovetail block that mates with the slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a groove formed on the back end of the clamping member, an elastic sheet is fixedly installed on one inner wall of the groove, and a wedge-shaped stop is formed on the outer side of the elastic sheet;

[0016] The first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are provided with slots on their outer sides that engage with the wedge-shaped stop.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting groove adapted to the bottle mouth support ring is provided in the middle of the inner side of the clamping member, and an avoidance slope is also provided at the front edge of the clamping member.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive structure includes a connecting arm formed on the back end of the second clamping arm, the tail end of the connecting arm having an opening in which a roller is rotatably connected.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting base has a connecting mounting port and a rotating port in the middle;

[0020] A flushing pipe is installed in the mounting port, and the rotating seat is rotatably connected inside the rotating port.

[0021] Furthermore, the shaft assembly includes a pin that passes through the mounting base and the rotating base. The pin has a stop portion, and a positioning glass bead is embedded in the outer periphery of the other end of the pin. The stop portion and the positioning glass bead stop on both sides of the mounting base.

[0022] The bottle clamping mechanism of the bottle washing machine proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: By adopting a detachable clamping component design, the appropriate clamping component can be directly disassembled and replaced when adapting to different bird's nest bottles. At the same time, the inner side of the clamping component adopts a limiting groove design, which can realize the locking of the bottle mouth support ring of the bird's nest bottle. In this way, the bird's nest bottle can be clamped and fixed by means of the clamping action of the two clamping components. Secondly, the locking of the limiting groove and the bottle mouth support ring can effectively prevent the bottle from being clamped crooked, and at the same time, there will be no problem of vertical displacement.

[0023] In addition, the ends of the clamping components are provided with a clearance slope, which can avoid the mouth of the bird's nest bottle that enters between the two clamping components during the rotation clamping process, thus avoiding the problem of screen collision.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-5, an embodiment of this utility model is disclosed, which discloses a bottle clamping mechanism for a bottle washing machine. Specifically, the bottle clamping mechanism includes a mounting base 1 and a rotating base 2 rotatably connected to the mounting base 1. Of course, in this embodiment, the mounting base 1 is fixed on a rotating table, and several mounting bases 1 can be installed on the rotating table to realize the continuous flipping and cleaning of the bird's nest bottle during the rotation process. Its specific working method has been disclosed in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] A first clamping arm 3 is formed below the rotating seat 2, and a second clamping arm 4 is rotatably connected below the rotating seat 2. Clamping members 5 are detachably connected to the opposite surfaces of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4. In this embodiment, the bird's nest bottle is clamped by the clamping action between the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4. The clamping member 5 is used to limit the clamping of the bird's nest bottle to avoid the problem of clamping slippage.

[0033] The second clamping arm 4 is also connected to a drive structure 6 at its tail end. The drive structure 6 is used to drive the second clamping arm 4 to rotate, so as to achieve relative movement with the first clamping arm 3, thereby completing the clamping and releasing of the bird's nest bottle. The mounting base 1 and the rotating base 2 are detachably connected by a shaft assembly 7.

[0034] In some embodiments, a slot 30 is formed on the opposite surface of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4, and the clamping member 5 is inserted into the slot 30; a locking structure is provided between the clamping member 5 and the slot 30, and the locking structure is used to lock and position the insertion position of the clamping member 5 to prevent the clamping member 5 from falling out of the slot 30.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the slot 30 is opened along the front end of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4, and the tail end of the slot 30 does not penetrate the back end of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4. That is, in this embodiment, the slot 30 is not opened through the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4, and it has an insertion depth. Of course, in this embodiment, the slots 30 on the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0036] The slot 30 is a dovetail groove, and the back end of the clamping member 5 is formed with a dovetail block that mates with the slot 30. Through the cooperation of the dovetail groove and the dovetail block, the clamping member 5 can be stably slid inside the slot 30, avoiding the problem of slippage in the left and right directions.

[0037] Furthermore, the locking structure in this embodiment includes a groove formed on the back end of the clamping member 5, and an elastic sheet 51 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the groove. Specifically, the elastic sheet 51 in this embodiment can be set as a plastic sheet, and its bottom is a certain distance away from the inner bottom surface of the groove, so as to avoid the elastic sheet 51 having a certain inward movement space when pressed. The outer side of the elastic sheet 51 is formed with a wedge-shaped stop 52, one side of the wedge-shaped stop 52 is a slope, and the other end is a rectangular surface.

[0038] The first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm are provided with slots 31 on their outer sides to engage with the wedge-shaped stop 52. That is, in this embodiment, when the clamping member 5 needs to be installed, the clamping member 5 is first inserted into the slot 30. When the clamping member 5 slides to the bottom of the slot 30, the elastic piece 51 rebounds at the position of the slot 31. At this time, the wedge-shaped stop 52 pops out and engages with the inside of the slot 31. In this way, the front and rear position of the clamping member 5 can be locked, thereby completing the installation of the clamping member 5.

[0039] Conversely, when it is necessary to disassemble and replace the clamping part 5, press the wedge-shaped stop 52 on the clamping part 5 inward. When the elastic piece 51 is deformed by force and retracts into the groove on the outside of the clamping part 5, the wedge-shaped stop 52 and the side wall of the slot 31 separate. After that, the entire clamping part 5 can be slid outward to achieve disassembly.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the clamping member 5 of the heavy chemical industry has a limiting groove 53 in the middle of its inner side that is adapted to the bottle mouth support ring. A clearance slope 54 is also provided on the front edge of the clamping member 5. Through the design of the limiting groove 53, the bottle mouth support ring of the bird's nest bottle can be snapped into place. In this way, with the clamping action of the two clamping members 5, the bird's nest bottle can be clamped and fixed to ensure the stability of the bird's nest screen during the cleaning and conveying process. The snapping action of the limiting groove 53 and the bottle mouth support ring can effectively prevent the bottle from being clamped crookedly and will not cause vertical displacement. Furthermore, the clearance slope 54 in this utility model is used to avoid the bottle mouth of the bird's nest bottle entering between the two clamping members 5 during the rotation clamping process, so as to avoid the problem of screen collision.

[0041] In some embodiments, the drive structure 6 includes a connecting arm 61 formed on the back end of the second clamping arm 4. The tail end of the connecting arm 61 has an opening, in which a roller 62 is rotatably connected. The roller 62 is used to cooperate with a protrusion on the machine platform. That is, when the rotary table drives the bottle clamping mechanism to move to the protrusion, the roller 62 and the cam are engaged to control the connecting arm 61 to drive the second clamping arm 4 to rotate, thereby realizing the relative separation of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4 and thus releasing the bottle mouth.

[0042] Conversely, a spring can be fixedly connected between the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4. When the bird's nest bottle is being fed, the feeding mechanism sends the bird's nest bottle between the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4. At the same time, the roller 62 separates from the protrusion on the machine platform. Under the action of the spring, the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4 can clamp the bird's nest bottle. The specific structure and principle can be referred to the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 of the present invention has a connecting mounting port 11 and a rotating port 12 in the middle.

[0044] A rinsing pipe 13 is installed in the mounting port 11. The rotating seat 2 is rotatably connected inside the rotating port 12. When the rotating seat 2 drives the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 4 to rotate 180 degrees, the bird's nest bottle being clamped is flipped to the top, and can be rinsed through the inner wall of the bottle in the rinsing pipe 13. Of course, in this embodiment, the rinsing pipe 13 is connected to an external water source.

[0045] In some embodiments, the shaft assembly 7 of this utility model includes a pin 71 passing through the mounting base 1 and the rotating base 2. The pin 71 has a stop portion 72, and a positioning glass bead 73 is embedded in the outer periphery of the other end of the pin 71. The stop portion 72 and the positioning glass bead 73 stop on both sides of the mounting base 1. That is, in this embodiment, the mounting base 1 and the rotating base 2 are rotatably connected by the pin 71. Since one end of the pin 71 is stopped by the positioning glass bead 73, the pin 71 can be pulled outward by pressing the telescopic end of the positioning glass bead 73, so as to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the entire rotating base 2.

[0046] In summary, this utility model employs a detachable clamping component 5, allowing for direct replacement of the appropriate clamping component 5 when adapting to different bird's nest bottles. Simultaneously, the inner side of the clamping component 5 features a limiting groove design, enabling it to engage with the bottle mouth support ring of the bird's nest bottle. Thus, the clamping action of the two clamping components 5 effectively secures the bird's nest bottle. The engagement between the limiting groove 53 and the bottle mouth support ring effectively prevents the bottle from being clamped crookedly and avoids vertical displacement. Furthermore, the end of the clamping component 5 has an abutment slope 54, which avoids the bottle mouth of the bird's nest bottle entering between the two clamping components 5 during rotational clamping, thereby preventing screen collisions.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
