The various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention preferably provides the following technical solution: a bottle clamp height measuring tool, comprising: a fastening clamp clamped at the observation port of the equipment; a steering arm disposed on the fastening clamp; and an assembly plate 311 disposed on the operating end of the steering arm, wherein a first clamping assembly is disposed on the assembly plate 311, and the clamping assembly can be moved to the detection position when the angle of the steering arm is manually adjusted; and a distance sensor 314 disposed on the first clamping assembly, wherein the distance sensor 314 is used to detect the bottle clamp height of the main unit when the clamping assembly is moved to the detection position.
[0027] In this embodiment, the fastening clamp, the steering arm, and the first clamping assembly are arranged sequentially from bottom to top, combined with... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the ranging sensor 314 is mounted on the first clamping assembly, combined with... Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the fastening clamp is held in the equipment observation port, while the steering arm drives the first clamping assembly to deflect multiple times in the horizontal and vertical directions, realizing multi-angle adjustment of the ranging sensor 314 on the first clamping assembly, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the detection position of the ranging sensor 314. The specific operation is as follows: First, clamp the fastening clamp on the edge of the equipment observation port, manually operate the steering arm, and adjust the first clamping assembly and the ranging sensor 314 to the detection position, combined with... Figure 6 Then, fix it in place, and then connect the USB cable of the central control box to the computer. The data is monitored in real time on the software. At this time, the distance sensor 314 starts to detect the height of the host bottle clamp, specifically measuring the distance between it and the bottle clamp, and transmitting the distance between the bottle clamp and it to the computer. The data error is compared to measure the level of the bottle clamp, and an EXCEL table can be output for easy viewing. This design indirectly detects the position of the bottle-penetrating claw, meets the requirement that the position of the bottle-penetrating claw maintains a consistent height, and is further used to ensure the normal operation of the line.
[0028] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly includes a first clamping head, which includes an L-shaped frame 312 fixed to the lower part of the assembly plate 311. The vertical section of the L-shaped frame 312 is provided with a fixing block 315 and a protrusion 313 respectively. The protrusion 313 is adapted to the seat body provided on the ranging sensor 314. The bottom of the fixing block 315 is provided with a spring 316. The clamping block 317 is fixed to the end of the spring 316 away from the fixing block 315. The clamping block 317 and the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 312 act on the two ends of the seat body provided on the ranging sensor 314 respectively.
[0029] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the L-shaped frame 312 where the first clamping head is located is fixed to the assembly plate 311. The horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 312 and the pressure block 317 can act on the bottom and top of the base where the ranging sensor 314 is located, respectively, to fix the position of the ranging sensor 314. With the adaptation of the base and the protrusion 313, the clamping stability of the ranging sensor 314 is further improved.
[0030] Furthermore, the fastening clamp includes an inverted frame 111, a screw hole at one end of the inverted frame 111, and a screw 112 threaded into the screw hole. One end of the screw 112 extends into the inverted frame 111 and fixes a stop block 113, while the other end extends outward a certain distance and is fixed with a handle 114.
[0031] Combination Figure 1 Due to the shape of the U-shaped frame 111, it can be locked onto the edge of the equipment observation port. Then, by operating the handle 114, the abutment 113 can be made to contact or disengage from the side wall of the equipment observation port, thus realizing the installation or disassembly of this device.

[0033] Furthermore, the second arm structure includes a second arm body 215, a transmission sleeve 216 disposed at the end of the second arm body 215 away from the joint connector, and a transmission shaft 217, wherein one end of the transmission shaft 217 is rotatably mounted to the transmission sleeve 216, and the other end is assembled to the mounting plate 311; it also includes a third damping layer disposed between the transmission sleeve 216 and the transmission shaft 217 for limiting rotation between the transmission sleeve 216 and the transmission shaft 217;
[0034] Furthermore, the joint connector includes mounting rings fixed to opposite ends of the first arm body 213 and the second arm body 215 respectively; and a pin 214 that is installed through the two mounting rings and rotatably mounted to the two mounting rings, and a fourth damping layer is provided between the pin 214 and the two mounting rings respectively for limiting the rotation of the pin 214 and the two mounting rings.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 , 2 As shown, one side of the transmission disk 211 is fixed to the C-shaped frame 111, while the other side is rotatably mounted with a transmission seat 212. The transmission seat 212 is rotatably mounted with the first arm body 213. With the cooperation of the first damping layer and the second damping layer, the horizontal and vertical rotation and position fixing process of the first arm body 213 can be realized, and the horizontal and vertical deflection of the first clamping assembly can be further realized.
[0036] The second arm body 215 and the first arm body 213 are relatively deflected through a joint connector. The transmission sleeve 216 at the end of the second arm body 215 rotates with the transmission shaft 217. The first clamping assembly is mounted on the transmission shaft 217. With the cooperation of the third and fourth damping layers, when the first clamping assembly is operated, the first clamping assembly can be further deflected at an angle, thereby realizing multiple horizontal and vertical deflections and position fixation processes of the first clamping assembly, thus ensuring the accurate adjustment of the detection position of the ranging sensor 314. Example 2
[0037] As another embodiment of the present invention, a second clamping assembly is provided at the end of the assembly plate 311 away from the first clamping assembly. The second clamping assembly includes a second clamping head with the same structure as the first clamping head and symmetrically distributed, a long groove 318 on the assembly plate 311, a bolt 319 in the long groove 318, and a threaded hole in the middle of the vertical section of the L-shaped frame 312. When the bolt 319 passes through the long groove 318 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the L-shaped frame 312, it is used to fix the position of the second clamping head.
[0038] As another implementation method for measuring bottle clamp height, the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are respectively mounted on the lower and upper parts of the mounting plate 311. The first clamping assembly is fixed to the mounting plate 311, while the second clamping assembly is detachably mounted to the mounting plate 311, thereby adjusting the distance between the first and second clamping assemblies. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the distance sensors 314 on the first and second clamping assemblies can detect the distance between themselves and the bottle clamp, further verifying the measurement of the bottle clamp height. Specifically, the distance sensor 314 on the first clamping assembly can detect the distance between itself and the bottom edge of the bottle clamp, while the distance sensor 314 on the second clamping assembly can detect the distance between itself and the top edge of the bottle clamp. The distance data is compared with the preset data to complete another detection process of the bottle clamp height.
