When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1 Reference Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which provides an adjustable mineral water filling machine, including a semi-automatic filling machine 1 and two filling barrels 2. Flexible positioning mechanisms 3 are provided on the left and right sides of the inner side of the semi-automatic filling machine 1. The flexible positioning mechanism 3 includes a control housing 31 and a support housing 32. A rectangular through hole 33 is provided on the top of the support housing 32, and a positioning component 34 is provided in the inner cavity of the rectangular through hole 33. The inner cavity of the support housing 32 is provided with a linkage component 35 that works in conjunction with the positioning component 34; The inner cavity of the control housing 31 is provided with a drive assembly 36 that works in conjunction with the linkage assembly 35; The bottom of the control housing 31 is fixedly connected to the semi-automatic filling machine 1, the support housing 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the control housing 31, the filling barrel 2 is placed on the top of the support housing 32, and there are multiple rectangular through holes 33, which are evenly distributed in a ring array.
[0022] Specifically, by setting the positioning component 34, the filling barrel 2 can be flexibly positioned, which facilitates the filling of the semi-automatic filling machine 1. By setting the linkage component 35, multiple positioning components 34 can be driven to move closer or further away from each other synchronously, thereby positioning filling barrels 2 of different diameters. By setting the drive component 36, the linkage component 35 can be driven, making it convenient for users to automatically position the filling barrel 2. By providing a support housing 32, the filling barrel 2 can be supported; by providing a control housing 31, the drive assembly 36 and the linkage assembly 35 can be protected; and by providing a rectangular through hole 33, the positioning assembly 34 can be limited and guided.
[0023] Furthermore, the filling barrel 2 is placed on top of the support housing 32, and then the drive assembly 36 is started, which transmits power to the positioning assembly 34 through the linkage assembly 35, so that the positioning assembly 34 moves synchronously along the trajectory of the inner cavity of the rectangular through hole 33, thereby positioning the filling barrel 2 on the top of the support housing 32 and improving the filling stability of the semi-automatic filling machine 1.
[0024] Example 2 In the second embodiment of this utility model, the positioning component 34 includes a movable block 341, a squeezing column 342 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block 341, a positioning plate 343 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 341, a sponge block 344 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate 343 near the filling barrel 2, and the side of the sponge block 344 near the filling barrel 2 is in contact with the filling barrel 2.
[0025] The left and right sides of the movable block 341 are fixedly connected to sliders 4, the bottom of the surface of the extrusion column 342 is rotatably connected to bearings 5, and the left and right sides of the inner wall of the rectangular through hole 33 are provided with sliding grooves 6. The slider 4, on the side away from the moving block 341, passes through the groove 6 and extends into the inner cavity of the groove 6, contacting the inner wall of the groove 6.
[0026] Specifically, by setting the moving block 341 and the squeezing column 342, the positioning plate 343 can be moved so that the positioning plate 343 can position the filling barrels 2 of different diameters. By setting the positioning plate 343 and the sponge block 344, the filling barrel 2 can be positioned, and the sponge block 344 is in flexible contact with the filling barrel 2, fully conforming to the surface of the filling barrel 2, increasing the contact area between the positioning plate 343 and the filling barrel 2, which can ensure positioning stability and avoid damage to the surface of the filling barrel 2 caused by hard contact. By setting slider 4 and slide groove 6, the moving block 341 can be supported, and the cooperation between slider 4 and slide groove 6 restricts the movement trajectory of moving block 341, ensuring that positioning component 34 moves stably along a straight line and improving positioning accuracy. By setting the bearing 5, the friction between the extrusion column 342 and the arc groove 352 can be reduced, thus extending the service life of the extrusion column 342.
[0027] Furthermore, when the extrusion column 342 is pushed by the linkage component 35, it will drive the moving block 341 to move along the direction of the slide groove 6. The slider 4 slides in the slide groove 6, restricting the moving block 341 to only make linear motion. The positioning plate 343 on the top of the moving block 341 moves synchronously, and finally contacts the filling barrel 2 through the sponge block 344 to achieve flexible clamping and positioning of the filling barrel 2.
[0028] Example 3 In the third embodiment of this utility model, the linkage component 35 includes a linkage plate 351, and an arc groove 352 is formed on the top surface of the linkage plate. The extrusion column 342 passes through the rectangular through hole 33 and extends into the inner cavity of the arc groove 352, and the outer surface of the bearing 5 contacts the inner wall of the arc groove 352.
[0029] There are multiple arc-shaped grooves 352, which are evenly distributed in a ring array. The bottom of the linkage disk 351 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 353. The bottom of the drive shaft 353 passes through the support housing 32 and extends into the inner cavity of the control housing 31.
[0030] Specifically, by setting up a linkage disc 351 and multiple arc-shaped grooves 352, the rotation of the linkage disc 351, combined with the cooperation of the arc-shaped grooves 352 and the extrusion column 342, can synchronously drive the movement of multiple positioning components 34. This ensures that the clamping and releasing actions of all positioning plates 343 on the filling barrel 2 are consistent, guaranteeing the symmetry and stability of the positioning. Furthermore, the arc-shaped grooves 352 are arranged in a circular array, corresponding to the positions of the multiple positioning components 34, so that the movement trajectory of the positioning components 34 corresponds to the circular contour of the filling barrel 2, improving the positioning accuracy. By setting up a drive shaft 353, the drive shaft 353 transmits the power of the drive assembly 36 to the linkage disk 351, thereby realizing the rotation control of the linkage disk 351.
[0031] Furthermore, when the drive shaft 353 drives the linkage disk 351 to rotate, the inner wall of the arc groove 352 will generate a lateral thrust on the extrusion column 342 through the bearing 5. Since the trajectory of the arc groove 352 is a curve, the change in the position of the contact point between the groove wall and the bearing 5 during rotation will generate a radial force, forcing the extrusion column 342 to move in a straight line along the direction of the rectangular through hole 33, thereby driving the positioning component 34 to move closer to or further away from the center of the filling barrel 2, and positioning the filling barrels 2 of different diameters.
[0032] Example 4 In the fourth embodiment of this utility model, the drive assembly 36 includes a drive shaft 361, a worm gear 362, a worm 363, and a servo motor 364. The rear side of the drive shaft 361 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the control housing 31, and the front side of the drive shaft 361 penetrates the control housing 31 and extends to the outer side of the control housing 31 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 364. The servo motor 364 is located on the front side of the control housing 31, and its rear side is fixedly connected to the control housing 31; The worm gear 363 is sleeved in the middle of the drive shaft 361 and is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 361; The worm gear 362 is located on the right side of the worm 363 and meshes with the worm 363, and its top is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 353.
[0033] Specifically, by setting a servo motor 364, which provides power, precise speed and direction control can be achieved, making it easy to adjust the clamping degree of the positioning component 34 according to the diameter of the filling barrel 2. By setting worm gear 362 and worm 363, the worm gear 362 and worm 363 transmission has self-locking property, which can prevent the linkage component 35 from rotating in the opposite direction due to external force during the positioning process, and ensure the stability of the positioning state. By setting up a drive shaft 361, the drive shaft 361 transmits the power of the servo motor 364 to the worm 363. The direction of power is changed by the meshing of the worm wheel 362 and the worm 363, converting the horizontal rotation into the vertical rotation, and driving the transmission shaft 353 to rotate synchronously.
[0034] Furthermore, the servo motor 364 is started, and the output end of the servo motor 364 drives the drive shaft 361 to rotate. The worm 363 in the middle of the drive shaft 361 rotates synchronously. The worm 363 meshes with the worm wheel 362 to drive the worm wheel 362 and the top drive shaft 353 to rotate, and finally transmits the power to the linkage component 35 to provide driving force for the positioning action.
[0035] Working principle: When positioning the filling barrel 2 is required, it is first placed on top of the support housing 32. Then, the servo motor 364 is started. The output of the servo motor 364 drives the drive shaft 361 to rotate. The worm gear 363 on the drive shaft 361 rotates synchronously with it. The worm gear 363 meshes with the worm wheel 362, thereby driving the worm wheel 362 and the top transmission shaft 353 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 353 rotates, the linkage plate 351 on its top rotates synchronously. The arc groove 352 on the linkage plate 351 rotates with the linkage plate 351. The inner wall of the arc groove 352 is connected by bearings. 5. The squeezing column 342 generates a lateral thrust. Since the squeezing column 342 is restricted by the rectangular through hole 33, the slider 4 and the slide groove 6, it can only move in a straight line. Therefore, the squeezing column 342 will drive the moving block 341 and the top positioning plate 343 to move along the trajectory of the inner cavity of the rectangular through hole 33 towards the center of the filling barrel 2. The sponge block 344 on the positioning plate 343 gradually contacts the surface of the filling barrel 2 until the sponge block 344 is evenly attached to the filling barrel 2, so as to achieve flexible positioning of the filling barrel 2 and ensure that the bottle mouth of the filling barrel 2 is aligned with the filling head of the semi-automatic filling machine 1. When it is necessary to remove the filling barrel 2, the servo motor 364 is reversed, the drive shaft 361, worm 363, worm wheel 362 and transmission shaft 353 rotate in the opposite direction, the linkage plate 351 rotates in the opposite direction, and the arc groove 352 drives the extrusion column 342 to move away from the center of the filling barrel 2 through the bearing 5. The positioning plate 343 and the sponge block 344 are separated from the filling barrel 2, and the filling barrel 2 can be removed to complete the work.
[0036] In summary, by setting up the flexible positioning mechanism 3, the filling barrels of different diameters can be automatically positioned, thus improving the filling accuracy.
