Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of filling technology, specifically relating to a height-adjustable bottle mold structure. Background Technology
[0002] A typical emulsion, lotion, and cream filling production line includes a feeding station, a filling station, an inner stopper station, an inspection station, and a discharge station. During this process, bottles are transported between the various stations via a conveyor line. To ensure the positional accuracy of the bottles, a bottle mold structure for positioning the bottles is usually installed on the conveyor line. However, bottles used for filling emulsions are usually tall bottles, while bottles used for filling creams are usually short bottles, requiring different heights for the bottle mold structure. In existing technologies, the height of the bottle mold structure is generally fixed, causing tall bottles to wobble and become unstable during transport, or making it impossible to perform subsequent operations when the height of short bottles is less than the height of the bottle mold structure. This necessitates the configuration of multiple production lines, resulting in a large footprint and high cost. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the height of the bottle mold structure in the prior art is generally fixed, which causes tall bottles to sway and become unstable during transportation, or makes it impossible to perform subsequent related operations when the height of short bottles is less than the height of the bottle mold structure, thus requiring multiple production lines, occupying a large space and incurring high costs. The present invention provides a height-adjustable bottle mold structure.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a height-adjustable bottle mold structure, including grippers distributed on both sides of the bottle body to clamp it, each gripper including several clamping bodies stacked longitudinally, and a plug-in structure for fixing the two adjacent clamping bodies is provided between them. The plug-in structure includes a plug-in post protruding on one clamping body, a plug-in groove formed in the other clamping body for the plug-in post to be inserted, and a flexible locking ring located between the plug-in post and the plug-in groove to lock the two.
[0005] Furthermore, the clamping body located at the bottom is detachably connected to the conveyor line.
[0006] Furthermore, the flexible locking ring is an O-ring.
[0007] Furthermore, a snap-fit block protrudes from the conveyor line, and the lowest clamping body has a locking groove for the snap-fit block to engage and lock the two longitudinally. The locking groove has a T-shaped or dovetail-shaped cross-section.
[0008] Furthermore, a ball screw is provided between the snap-fit block and the clamping body to lock the two laterally.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the lowest clamping body protrudes away from the bottle body to form a base support, and the locking groove is located on the base support.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping body has an exhaust hole that communicates with the insertion slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the clamping body has a V-shaped groove formed on the side near the bottle for clamping the bottle.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model uses the plug-in pins and plug-in slots on two adjacent clamping bodies to form a clamping claw that matches the height of the bottle. The clamping claw clamps and positions the bottle, which can prevent it from shaking or tilting under inertia during the transportation process.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention. Orientations and references (e.g., up, down, left, right, etc.) are only used to aid in the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not intended to be restrictive, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a height-adjustable bottle mold structure has multiple sets of bottle mold structures, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 3. Each set of bottle mold structures includes grippers 2 distributed on both sides of the bottle body 1 to clamp it. The grippers 2 are arranged in pairs to clamp the bottle body 1 located between them.
[0026] Each gripper 2 includes several longitudinally stacked gripping bodies 201. The number of gripping bodies 201 can be, but is not limited to, one, two, or three, and the height of each gripping body 201 can be the same or different. Depending on the height of the bottle 1, grippers 2 assembled from different numbers of gripping bodies 201 can be selected for gripping, preventing the bottle from swaying or tilting due to inertia during transport. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown;
[0027] A plug-in structure for fixing two adjacent clamping bodies 201 is provided between them. The plug-in structure includes a protruding plug-in post 202 on one clamping body 201, a recessed plug-in groove 203 on the other clamping body 201 for inserting the plug-in post 202, and a flexible locking ring 204 located between the plug-in post 202 and the plug-in groove 203 to lock them together. The plug-in post 202 and the plug-in groove 203 are shaped to match. The flexible locking ring 204 improves the connection strength between the two and prevents accidental separation. Figure 5 As shown.
[0028] In some examples, the bottom clamping body 201 is detachably connected to the conveyor line 3, and by replacing the clamping body 201 with one of different widths, it can be used to clamp bottles of different sizes, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.
[0029] In some examples, the flexible locking ring 204 is an O-ring, which is sleeved on the insertion post 202, and the number of O-rings on each insertion post 202 can be, but is not limited to, one, two, or three, etc. Figure 5 As shown.
[0030] In some examples, a snap-fit block 301 protrudes from the conveyor line 3. The snap-fit block 301 is bolted to the conveyor line 3 or integrally formed. When the two are bolted, the snap-fit block 301 has a countersunk hole 303 for accommodating a nut. The lowermost clamping body 201 has a locking groove 205 for the snap-fit block 301 to engage and lock the two longitudinally. The cross-section of the locking groove 205 can be, but is not limited to, T-shaped or dovetail-shaped, as long as it is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the snap-fit block 301 will not come out longitudinally. The shape of the snap-fit block 301 matches the shape of the locking groove 205. The clamping body 201 is sleeved on the outside of the snap-fit block 301, and the locking groove 205 can penetrate one end face or both end faces of the clamping body 201. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0031] In some examples, a ball screw is provided between the snap-fit block 301 and the clamping body 201 to lock the two laterally. The number of ball screws can be, but is not limited to, one, two or three, etc. They can be set on the snap-fit block 301 or on the clamping body 201, and the steel ball on the ball screw is embedded in the other. In this embodiment, the ball screw is threadedly connected to the clamping body 201, and the snap-fit block 301 has an insert groove 302 for the steel ball to be embedded.
[0032] In some examples, the bottom of the lowest clamping body 201 protrudes away from the bottle body 1 to form a base 206, thus creating a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. The locking groove 205 is located on the base 206. The larger base 206 allows the clamping body 201 to have higher stability and can form a larger locking groove 205 for the larger locking block 301 to engage, thereby improving the connection strength between the locking block 301 and the clamping body 201. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0033] In some examples, the clamping body 201 has a vent 207 communicating with the insertion slot 203, used to vent air during the insertion of the insertion post 202 into the insertion slot 203, facilitating the insertion of the insertion post 202, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0034] In some examples, the clamping body 201 has a V-shaped groove 208 formed on the side near the bottle body 1 for clamping the bottle body 1, and the two V-shaped grooves 208 of the two clamping bodies 201 clamp the bottle body 1 together, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] First, select a matching clamping body 201 according to the diameter of the bottle body 1. Then, align the locking groove 205 of the clamping body 201 with the snap-fit block 301 and push and pull it horizontally. At this time, the snap-fit block 301 with the upper and lower structure and the locking groove 205 lock the clamping body 201 and the snap-fit block 301 vertically. During the process, the steel ball of the ball screw on the clamping body 201 is embedded in the mounting groove 302 of the snap-fit block 301 to lock the two horizontally. Next, select an appropriate number of clamping bodies 201 according to the height of the bottle body 1 and assemble them. When assembling, insert the plug post 202 on the upper clamping body 201 into the plug hole in the lower clamping body 201 for insertion and fixation. The clamping claws 2 of different heights clamp and fix the bottles 1 of different heights to prevent the bottles 1 from shaking and tilting under the action of inertia during the transportation process.
