Their positioning accuracy and adjustment flexibility are insufficient to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern production, directly affecting overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle positioning mechanism and a filling and capping machine containing the mechanism, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottle positioning mechanism and a filling and capping machine containing the mechanism, comprising a fixed frame component and a lifting frame component. Lifting frame components are symmetrically installed at both ends of the front side of the fixed frame component, and a stabilizing frame component is horizontally connected to the end of the lifting frame component away from the fixed frame component. Furthermore, gripper components are symmetrically installed on the middle section of the stabilizing frame component away from the lifting frame component. The lifting frame component includes a support frame, a damping slider, a positioning bolt, and a docking frame. A damping slider is vertically connected to the end of the support frame near the fixed frame component, and positioning bolts are horizontally threaded at both ends of the damping slider. A docking frame is vertically installed at the top of the end of the support frame away from the damping slider.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixed frame component includes a main frame, an adjusting slide rail, a support corner plate, and assembly holes. The front surface of the main frame is vertically mounted with adjusting slide rails, and two sets of support corner plates are symmetrically welded vertically to the lower rear surface of the main frame. In addition, the bottom of the main frame has holes for bolt installation at four opposite corners.

[0007] Furthermore, the damping slider and the adjusting slide rail are connected and combined with each other by a slotted embedded structure, and the support frame and the damping slider are welded together. Moreover, the bottom four corners of the docking frame and the connecting end surface of the support frame and the docking frame are vertically provided with holes for bolt installation.

[0008] Furthermore, the stabilizing structure includes a support frame, a support base, a stop, and an adjusting rail. The support frame is connected to the support base on both the left and right ends near the stabilizing structure, and the stop is horizontally installed on the side of the support frame near the gripper component. The adjusting rail is horizontally installed inside the stop.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame and the support base are integrally formed, and the four opposite corners of the support base near the docking frame and the connection between the docking frame and the support base are all horizontally provided with holes for bolt installation.

[0010] Furthermore, the gripper component includes an adjusting slider, fixing bolts, an electric rotating frame, a gripper body, and an anti-slip pad. Both ends of the adjusting slider are horizontally threaded with two sets of fixing bolts, and the middle of the adjusting slider is horizontally connected to the electric rotating frame. The end of the electric rotating frame away from the adjusting slider is horizontally connected to the gripper body, and the surface of the gripper body is covered with an anti-slip pad.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting slider and the adjusting track are connected to each other using a slotted embedded structure, and the adjusting slider and the electric rotating frame are fixedly connected.

[0012] A filling and capping machine, which is equipped with a bottle positioning mechanism as described above.

[0013] This utility model provides a bottle positioning mechanism and a filling and capping machine containing the mechanism, which has the following advantages: 1. This utility model utilizes a lifting frame structure in conjunction with a fixed frame structure. By leveraging the up-and-down movement of a damping slider on the adjusting slide rail surface, the overall height of the symmetrically arranged stabilizing frame and gripper components can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate bottle positioning requirements of varying heights. This enhances the equipment's versatility and adaptability. Furthermore, the slotted, embedded design between the damping slider and the adjusting slide rail ensures smooth lifting and effectively reduces vibration during operation, improving structural stability. Additionally, the mounting holes at the bottom of the main frame and the bolt holes at the joints of various components provide a stable mounting foundation for the entire bottle positioning mechanism. This ensures that the equipment maintains structural integrity and positioning accuracy even under high-speed operation or significant external forces. This structural design enables the bottle positioning mechanism to accurately and stably position bottles of different heights, effectively avoiding inaccurate positioning due to bottle height differences, thereby improving the overall quality and efficiency of the filling and capping process.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the structural design of the stabilizing frame, forms a stable support system by tightly connecting the support frame, support seat, and docking frame of the lifting frame. The baffle and its internal horizontally installed adjustment track provide precise movement guidance for the gripper components, enabling them to move and adjust accurately along a preset trajectory. Simultaneously, the introduction of an electric rotating frame allows the gripper body to rotate horizontally as needed, adapting to gripping bottles of different shapes within a certain range. Furthermore, the support frame and support seat in the stabilizing frame adopt an integrated molding structure, greatly enhancing the structural stability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring the stability of the device structure. The baffle and its internal adjustment track provide a precise lateral adjustment path for the gripper components, enabling the gripper to accurately align and grip the bottle, improving positioning accuracy and operational efficiency. Additionally, the anti-slip pad covering the surface of the gripper body effectively increases the friction between the gripper and the bottle, preventing slippage during gripping and movement, ensuring operational safety and reliability.

[0015] 3. This utility model, through the design of the bottle positioning mechanism, fully considers the diversity and complexity of actual production. The modular component design allows for the replacement or adjustment of each part according to specific needs, greatly enhancing the adaptability and maintainability of the equipment. When encountering bottles of different specifications or shapes, only minor adjustments or replacements to the corresponding gripper components or stabilizing structural parts are needed to quickly adapt to new production requirements without requiring large-scale modifications to the entire equipment. This design not only reduces equipment upgrade costs but also shortens the debugging cycle and improves production efficiency. Simultaneously, the modular design facilitates daily maintenance and upkeep. The independence and disassembly of each component enable maintenance personnel to quickly locate and resolve problems, reducing downtime and ensuring the continuity and stability of production. Furthermore, the bottle positioning mechanism fully considers the safety and convenience of operators. The reasonable layout of each component and intuitive operation reduce operational difficulty and the risk of misoperation, ensuring a safe and reliable production process.

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a bottle positioning mechanism and a filling and capping machine containing the mechanism include a fixed frame component 1 and a lifting frame component 2. The lifting frame component 2 is symmetrically installed at both ends of the front side of the fixed frame component 1. A stabilizing frame component 3 is horizontally connected to the end of the lifting frame component 2 away from the fixed frame component 1. Clamping claw components 4 are symmetrically installed on the middle section of the stabilizing frame component 3 away from the lifting frame component 2. The lifting frame component 2 includes a support frame 201, a damping slider 202, a positioning bolt 203, and a docking frame 204. The support frame 201 is close to the fixed frame component 1. One end of the support frame 201 is vertically connected to a damping slider 202, and both ends of the damping slider 202 are horizontally threaded with positioning bolts 203. A docking frame 204 is vertically installed on the top of the end of the support frame 201 furthest from the damping slider 202. The fixed frame component 1 includes a main frame 101, an adjusting slide rail 102, a support angle plate 103, and assembly holes 104. Adjusting slide rails 102 are vertically installed on the left and right sides of the front surface of the main frame 101, and two sets of support angle plates 103 are symmetrically welded vertically to the left and right sides of the lower rear surface of the main frame 101. The bottom of the main frame 101 has four... Holes for bolt installation are vertically provided at each of the four diagonal points. The damping slider 202 and the adjusting slide rail 102 are connected by a slotted embedded structure. The support frame 201 and the damping slider 202 are welded together. Holes for bolt installation are also vertically provided at the four diagonal points of the bottom of the docking frame 204 and on the connecting end surface of the support frame 201 and the docking frame 204. The damping slider 202 can move up and down on the surface of the adjusting slide rail 102 to flexibly adjust the stabilizing frame component 3 and the gripper component 4 according to the bottle body of different height specifications. With adjustable height, when positioning a taller bottle, simply move the damping slider 202 upwards to move the support frame 201 and the stabilizing structure 3 and gripper 4 upwards, allowing the gripper 4 to accurately grasp the taller bottle. When positioning a shorter bottle, move the damping slider 202 downwards to move the support frame 201 and the stabilizing structure 3 and gripper 4 downwards, ensuring the gripper 4 can accurately grasp the shorter bottle. This flexible height adjustment greatly enhances the equipment's adaptability and versatility to bottles of different heights.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the stabilizing structure 3 includes a support frame 301, a support base 302, a stop 303, and an adjusting rail 304. Support bases 302 are connected to both ends of the support frame 301 near the stabilizing structure 3. A stop 303 is horizontally installed on the side of the support frame 301 near the gripper component 4. An adjusting rail 304 is horizontally installed inside the stop 303. The support frame 301 and support base 302 are integrally formed. Holes for bolt installation are horizontally provided on the surface of the support base 302 at four opposite corners near the docking frame 204 and at the connection point between the docking frame 204 and the support base 302. The gripper component 4 includes an adjusting slider 401, fixing bolts 402, an electric rotating frame 403, a gripper body 404, and an anti-slip pad 405. Two sets of fixing bolts 402 are horizontally threaded onto both ends of the adjusting slider 401. A motorized rotating frame 403 is horizontally connected to the middle of component 01. A gripper body 404 is horizontally connected to the end of the motorized rotating frame 403 furthest from the adjusting slider 401. The surface of the gripper body 404 is covered with an anti-slip pad 405. The adjusting slider 401 and the adjusting track 304 are connected by a slotted embedded structure. The adjusting slider 401 and the motorized rotating frame 403 are fixedly connected. Utilizing the horizontal movement characteristic of the adjusting slider 401 on the adjusting track 304, the horizontal position of the gripper component 4 can be precisely adjusted according to the diameter of the bottle, ensuring that the gripper body 404 can accurately align with the bottle for precise gripping. Simultaneously, the design of the motorized rotating frame 403 allows the gripper body 404 to rotate horizontally to adapt to the gripping needs of bottles with different shapes and angles, better conforming to the bottle surface and ensuring stable gripping.

[0021] The efficient and precise positioning of the bottle is achieved through the cooperation of the fixed frame component 1, the lifting frame component 2, the stabilizing frame component 3, and the gripper component 4. The adjusting slide rail 102 on the fixed frame component 1, in conjunction with the damping slider 202 in the lifting frame component 2, allows for flexible adjustment according to the height of different bottles, ensuring smooth lifting. The stabilizing frame component 3, through the cooperation of the adjusting rail 304 and the adjusting slider 401, enables the gripper component 4 to move precisely in the horizontal direction to adapt to the positioning requirements of bottles of different diameters. The electric rotating frame 403 in the gripper component 4 can drive the gripper body 404 to rotate, thus providing greater flexibility in grasping and placing bottles and improving the stability and safety of the entire positioning process.

[0022] In summary, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when using the bottle positioning mechanism and the filling and capping machine containing the mechanism, the fixing frame component 1 is first installed securely in the predetermined working position of the filling and capping machine through the mounting holes 104 at the four opposite corners of its bottom and the support corner plate 103 using bolts, so as to ensure that the entire mechanism remains stable during operation. Next, based on the initial height of the bottle to be positioned, the position of the damping slider 202 on the adjusting slide rail 102 is manually adjusted, thereby driving the stable frame component 3 and the gripper component 4 connected to the bracket 204 at one end of the support frame 201 to rise or fall to a suitable height. During this process, the positioning bolt 203 can be used to fix the position of the damping slider 202 to prevent it from moving accidentally in the non-operational state. After the height adjustment is completed, observe the relative position of the gripper component 4 and the bottle to be gripped. Adjust the horizontal movement of the slider 401 on the adjustment track 304 and use the fixing bolt 402 to position it so that the gripper body 404 can gradually approach the bottle until the appropriate gripping distance is reached. During this process, the electric rotating frame 403 can be used to drive the gripper body 404 to swing horizontally according to the specific shape and angle requirements of the bottle, so as to ensure that the gripper body 404 can fit the bottle surface at the best angle. After the gripper body 404 is accurately aligned with the bottle, the gripper body 404 is controlled to close. The anti-slip pad 405 covering its surface will effectively increase the friction between it and the bottle, prevent slippage during the gripping process, and ensure that the bottle is firmly gripped. Subsequently, through the coordinated action of the lifting frame component 2 and the stabilizing frame component 3, the gripped bottle is kept in a fixed position to facilitate subsequent filling and capping operations. Throughout the entire process, the bottle positioning mechanism, with its modular component design and flexible adjustment function, can easily meet the positioning needs of bottles of different heights, diameters and shapes, greatly improving the adaptability and production efficiency of the filling and capping machine.
