[0021] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a positioning device for a filling machine provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a vertical filling machine 1 and a workbench 2. The workbench 2 is disposed on the front side of the vertical filling machine 1 and is fixedly connected to the vertical filling machine 1. A positioning platform 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the workbench 2. Rectangular through holes 4 are provided on the left and right sides of the top of the workbench 2. A moving block 5 is disposed in the inner cavity of the rectangular through hole 4. A support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 5. A positioning plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 6. Clamping plates 8 are provided on the front and rear sides of the right side of the positioning plate 7. An adjustment device 9 that cooperates with the clamping plate 8 is provided on the left side of the positioning plate 7. A driving device 10 that cooperates with the moving block 5 is provided at the bottom of the workbench 2.
[0024] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rectangular through hole 4 has a sliding groove 11 on the front and rear sides of its inner wall. The sliding block 5 has a slider 12 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of its movable block 5. The side of the slider 12 away from the movable block 5 passes through the sliding groove 11 and extends into the inner cavity of the sliding groove 11 to contact the inner wall of the sliding groove 11.
[0025] The above scheme is adopted: by setting slider 12 and slide groove 11, the moving block 5 can be supported and limited, which facilitates the movement of the moving block 5. By setting the moving block 5, the adjusting device 9 and clamping plate 8 can be moved through the support rod 6, positioning plate 7, support block 15 and sliding column 14, thereby making the clamping plate 8 move closer to the container and positioning the container.
[0026] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The positioning plate 7 has limit holes 13 on the front and rear sides of the left side. The inner cavity of the limit hole 13 is provided with a sliding column 14 for use with the adjustment device 9. Both ends of the sliding column 14 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limit hole 13. Two support blocks 15 for use with the adjustment device 9 are fixedly connected to the middle of the left side of the positioning plate 7. The two clamping plates 8 are symmetrically arranged, and rubber pads 16 are fixedly connected to the opposite side.
[0027] The above solution is adopted: by setting the limiting through hole 13 and the sliding column 14, the adjusting plate 903 can be limited, which makes it convenient for the operator to adjust the position of the clamping plate 8. By setting the support block 15, the adjusting screw 902 can be supported. By setting the rubber pad 16, the clamping plate 8 can be prevented from damaging the container.
[0028] refer to Figure 5 The adjusting device 9 includes a toggle block 901, and adjusting screws 902 are provided on the front and rear sides of the toggle block 901. Adjusting plate 903 is sleeved on the surface of the adjusting screws 902.
[0029] The above solution allows for the adjustment of the clamping plate 8 by setting the adjustment device 9, thereby adjusting the size of the V-shaped opening formed by the two clamping plates 8, which facilitates the operator in positioning cylindrical containers of different sizes.
[0030] refer to Figure 4 The drive device 10 includes a dual-head motor 1001, and drive screws 1002 are provided on the left and right sides of the dual-head motor 1001. A movable plate 1003 is sleeved on the surface of the drive screws 1002.
[0031] By adopting the above solution, the driving device 10 can drive the moving block 5, making it convenient for operators to position the container.
[0032] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The actuating block 901 is located on one side of the two support blocks 15. The adjusting screw 902 passes through the support block 15 on the side near the actuating block 901 and extends to the inside of the support block 15 and is fixedly connected to the actuating block 901. The adjusting plate 903 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 902. The right side of the adjusting plate 903 passes through the limiting through hole 13 and extends to the outside of the limiting through hole 13 and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 8. The front side of the adjusting plate 903 is also sleeved on the surface of the sliding column 14 and is slidably connected to the sliding column 14 through a linear bearing.
[0033] The above scheme is adopted as follows: by setting the toggle block 901, the operator can rotate the toggle block 901, which drives the adjusting screw 902 to rotate synchronously. By setting the adjusting screw 902, the adjusting plate 903 can be moved. By setting the adjusting plate 903, the clamping plate 8 can be moved to adjust the position of the clamping plate 8.
[0034] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The top of the dual-head motor 1001 is fixedly connected to the worktable 2, the drive screw 1002 is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-head motor 1001 on the side near the dual-head motor 1001, the moving plate 1003 is threadedly connected to the drive screw 1002, and the top of the moving plate 1003 is fixedly connected to the moving block 5.
[0035] The above solution is adopted as follows: by setting up a dual-head motor 1001, the drive screw 1002 can be driven to rotate. By setting up the drive screw 1002, the moving plate 1003 can be driven to move. By setting up the moving plate 1003, the two moving blocks 5 can be driven to move closer to each other, thereby facilitating the operator to position the container.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model: During filling, the operator needs to pre-adjust the positions of the two clamping plates 8 and adjust the size of the V-shaped opening formed on the opposite side of the two clamping plates 8 to position cylindrical containers of different sizes. First, the operator rotates the actuating block 901, which drives the two adjusting screws 902 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the adjusting screws 902, the adjusting plate 903 will move on the surface of the sliding column 14, so that the two adjusting plates 903 move closer to each other. The adjusting plate 903 will then drive the two clamping plates 8 to move synchronously in the direction of moving closer to each other, thus adjusting the size of the V-shaped opening formed by the two clamping plates 8. When the clamping plates 8 reach the appropriate position, the actuating block 901 is no longer rotated, and the clamping plates 8 no longer move, thus completing the adjustment. At this point, the operator can place cylindrical containers of different sizes on the top of the positioning platform 3, and then start the dual-head motor 1001 to drive the two drive screws 1002 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the drive screws 1002, the two moving plates 1003 will move closer to each other. During the movement of the two moving plates 1003, the support rod 6 and the positioning plate 7 will move synchronously through the moving block 5. The clamping plate 8 will move synchronously with the positioning plate 7 through the adjusting device 9 and the sliding column 14. During the movement of the moving block 5, the slider 12 will slide in the inner cavity of the slide groove 11 to limit the movement of the moving block 5. When the positioning plate 7 moves to the appropriate position, the first rubber pad 16 on the surface of the clamping plate 8 will contact the container and push the container to move, so that the container is located in the middle of the positioning platform 3, thereby aligning the bottle mouth with the filling head of the filling machine and completing the positioning.
[0037] In summary, the positioning device for this filling machine, through the coordinated use of a positioning platform 3, a rectangular through hole 4, a moving block 5, a support rod 6, a positioning plate 7, a clamping plate 8, an adjusting device 9, and a driving device 10, solves the problem that existing vertical filling machines, when filling cylindrical containers, usually require manual positioning of the container below the filling head and keeping the bottle mouth aligned with the filling head. Manual positioning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can also lead to misalignment of the bottle mouth, resulting in material leakage.
