Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production. Background Technology

[0002] In automated bottled water production lines, bottle positioning is a crucial step. It directly affects the accuracy of subsequent processes (such as labeling, coding, and packaging) and the product's appearance. To achieve efficient and continuous production, production lines are typically equipped with automated bottle positioning devices to quickly and stably fix the bottled water as it moves at high speed.

[0003] Most existing bottle positioning devices use rigid or semi-rigid clamping arms (such as pneumatic grippers or mechanical linkages) to clamp and fix the bottle from both sides. This design can show good positioning effect when dealing with standardized round bottles with uniform and regular shapes.

[0004] However, with the diversification of market demand, the appearance design of bottled water has become increasingly novel, resulting in a large number of irregularly shaped bottles with complex curved surfaces, multiple angles (such as square bottles), or irregular surfaces. Faced with these non-standardized bottle bodies, the aforementioned traditional rigid clamping devices have revealed their limitations. Since the contact surface of the clamping arm is fixed, when clamping irregularly shaped bottles, it can often only achieve point contact or line contact, making it difficult to achieve a complete fit with the bottle surface.

[0005] This insufficient contact leads to two main problems: first, poor clamping stability, as the bottle is prone to slight displacement or vibration during high-speed rotation and labeling, resulting in misaligned or wrinkled labels, severely impacting product quality; second, it easily damages the bottle, as the rigid contact points generate excessive local stress on the bottle surface, leaving indentations or scratches and compromising the product's appearance. Therefore, designing a positioning device that is compatible with different bottle shapes and achieves stable and non-destructive clamping is a pressing technical problem in this field.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes an adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production, aiming to improve the problems of poor adaptability to different bottle shapes, difficulty in stable clamping, and easy damage to the bottle surface due to excessive local pressure in the existing adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] An adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production includes: a base; a worktable with a positioning groove disposed on the base; a receiving rod fixedly disposed below a circular plate; and a clamping assembly assembled on the receiving rod.

[0010] The clamping assembly includes a slidable drive rod and a clamping arm rotatably connected to the drive rod via a first connecting rod.

[0011] The device also includes an adaptive component mounted on the gripping arm.

[0012] The adaptive component includes a contact plate, a connecting block for mounting the contact plate, and a third spring.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting block and the clamping arm are rotatably connected via the second connecting rod, and the third spring is provided to provide elastic cushioning when the contact plate is rotated under force.

[0014] Preferably, the receiving rod has a groove inside, the driving rod slides along the groove, and the driving rod and the bottom surface of the groove are elastically connected by a second spring.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping assembly further includes a first abutment and a first spring, and the clamping arm is elastically connected to the drive rod through the first abutment and the first spring.

[0016] Preferably, the adaptive component further includes a second abutment plate, which is fixedly connected to the clamping arm, and the two ends of the third spring abut against the second abutment plate and the connecting block, respectively.

[0017] Preferably, the device further includes a circular plate, with multiple receiving rods fixedly connected to the circumference of the circular plate.

[0018] Preferably, the circular plate is mounted above the worktable by a hydraulic rod, which is used to drive the circular plate and all the supporting rods to move down synchronously.

[0019] Preferably, the workbench is a rotatable workbench, and a labeling device is arranged on the side area of ​​the workbench.

[0020] Preferably, one side of the labeling device is also provided with a roller, which is used to assist in pressing the label.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, by setting an adaptive component on the clamping arm, the adaptive component includes a rotatable contact plate and a spring that provides elastic buffer, which solves the problem that the existing positioning device is difficult to be compatible with bottle bodies of different shapes and the clamping is unstable.

In this utility model, by setting up a lever clamping structure composed of a drive rod, a connecting rod and a clamping arm, and in conjunction with the elastic buffering function of the adaptive component, the problem of damage to the bottle surface caused by rigid contact and excessive local pressure when clamping the bottle body in the prior art is solved. The technical effect of ensuring clamping reliability while effectively avoiding damage to the appearance of the bottle body is achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This utility model provides an adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production, which aims to solve the problems of poor adaptability, difficulty in stable fitting, and easy damage to the bottle surface of the existing positioning device when facing different bottle shapes.

[0032] The adjustable bottle positioning device for bottled water production includes a base 1 and a worktable 10 set on the base 1. The base 1 serves as the installation foundation for the entire device. The worktable 10 is set on the base 1 and has a positioning groove 3 for initial receiving of the bottled water to be positioned. The worktable 10 is a rotatable worktable 10, used to drive the bottled water to rotate to cooperate with subsequent processes. A labeling device 6 is arranged on the side area of ​​the worktable 10, and a roller 7 is also provided on one side of the labeling device 6. The roller 7 is used to assist in pressing the label.

[0033] The device also includes a circular plate 5, which is mounted above the workbench 10 via a hydraulic rod 2; multiple support rods 4 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the circular plate 5; the hydraulic rod 2 is used to drive the circular plate 5 and all the support rods 4 to move down synchronously, so that the support rods 4 are fixedly positioned below the circular plate 5; each support rod 4 is equipped with a clamping component 8 for clamping the bottle body, and an adaptive component 9 for adapting to the shape of the bottle body.

[0034] As the core clamping structure of this embodiment, the clamping assembly 8 includes a drive rod 801, a clamping arm 802, a first connecting rod 803, a first abutment plate 804, a first spring 805, and a second spring 806. To enable the sliding installation of the drive rod 801, a groove 807 is provided inside the receiving rod 4. The drive rod 801 is slidably connected along the groove 807, and the drive rod 801 and the bottom surface of the groove 807 are elastically connected through the second spring 806. To enable the linkage of the clamping arm 802, the clamping arm 802 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 801 through the first connecting rod 803. At the same time, the clamping arm 802 is elastically connected to the drive rod 801 through the first abutment plate 804 and the first spring 805.

[0035] As a core innovation of this embodiment, to achieve adaptive clamping for different bottle bodies, an adaptive component 9 is installed on the clamping arm 802. The adaptive component 9 includes a contact plate 903, a connecting block 902, a third spring 905, a second connecting rod 904, and a second abutment plate 901. In terms of installation structure, the second abutment plate 901 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 802. The connecting block 902 is used to install the contact plate 903, and the connecting block 902 is rotatably connected to the clamping arm 802 through the second connecting rod 904. The third spring 905 is disposed between the second abutment plate 901 and the connecting block 902, with its two ends abutting against the second abutment plate 901 and the connecting block 902, respectively. This structure allows the connecting block 902 to rotate around the second connecting rod 904 when the contact plate 903 contacts the bottle body and is subjected to force, while compressing the third spring 905. The third spring 905 provides elastic cushioning in this process.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: After the device is started, the bottled water to be positioned enters the positioning groove 3 of the workbench 10; then the hydraulic rod 2 retracts, driving the circular plate 5 and the multiple receiving rods 4 fixedly connected to the circular plate 5 to move down synchronously; when the receiving rods 4 move down, the clamping assembly 8 assembled on the receiving rods 4 also descends, and the receiving rods 4 fixedly set below the circular plate 5 drive the lower end of the drive rod 801 to contact the top of the bottled water;

[0037] At this time, the bottled water generates an upward reaction force on the drive rod 801. The drive rod 801 overcomes the elastic force of the second spring 806 and slides upward along the groove 807 inside the receiving rod 4, while compressing the second spring 806. Since the drive rod 801 and the clamping arm 802 are rotatably connected through the first connecting rod 803, the upward sliding of the drive rod 801 is converted into a rotation that causes the clamping arm 802 to retract towards the bottle body through the first connecting rod 803. The clamping arm 802 is elastically connected to the drive rod 801 through the first abutment 804 and the first spring 805. This structure ensures that the clamping arm 802 can be reliably opened in the initial standby state and provides an auxiliary elastic effect during the clamping process.

[0038] To address the adaptability issue for different bottle shapes, the core technical solution of this embodiment lies in the adaptive component 9 mounted on the clamping arm 802. When the clamping arm 802 retracts inward and contacts the bottle, the contact plate 903 of the adaptive component 9 first contacts the bottle surface. If the bottle is curved or square, the contact plate 903 will be subjected to uneven pressure. In this case, the connecting block 902, to which the contact plate 903 is fixed, will rotate around the second connecting rod 904. This rotation will compress the third spring 905 located between the connecting block 902 and the second abutment 901, wherein the second abutment 901 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 802. The elastic deformation of the third spring 905 provides cushioning and enables the contact plate 903 to adaptively adjust its angle to fit the bottle surface, increasing the contact area and preventing damage to the bottle due to excessive local pressure.

[0039] After the clamping component 8 and the adaptive component 9 work together to stably clamp and accurately position the bottle, the rotatable worktable 10 starts to rotate, driving the bottled water through the labeling device 6 and roller 7 arranged on the side of the worktable 10 in sequence. The label is applied with the assistance of the roller 7.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions:

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, in order to make the reciprocating motion of the drive rod 801 both smooth and elastically buffered, a groove 807 is provided inside the receiving rod 4, the drive rod 801 is slidably connected along the groove 807, and the drive rod 801 and the bottom surface of the groove 807 are elastically connected by a second spring 806.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, to maintain a pre-tight elastic relationship between the clamping arm 802 and the drive rod 801, the clamping assembly 8 further includes a first abutment 804 and a first spring 805, and the clamping arm 802 is elastically connected to the drive rod 801 through the first abutment 804 and the first spring 805.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, in order to provide reliable support for the third spring 905, the adaptive assembly 9 further includes a second abutment 901, which is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 802, and the two ends of the third spring 905 abut against the second abutment 901 and the connecting block 902, respectively.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, in order to achieve synchronous clamping at multiple workstations, the device also includes a circular plate 5, and multiple receiving rods 4 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the circular plate 5.

[0045] Based on the above, in order to achieve the overall lifting and lowering drive of the clamping assembly 8, the circular plate 5 is mounted above the worktable 10 via the hydraulic rod 2. The hydraulic rod 2 is used to drive the circular plate 5 and all the supporting rods 4 to move down synchronously.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, in order to enable continuous operation in the bottled water production process, the workbench 10 is a rotatable workbench 10, and a labeling device 6 is arranged on the side area of ​​the workbench 10.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the label is applied smoothly and firmly, a roller 7 is provided on one side of the labeling device 6. The roller 7 is used to assist in pressing the label during the rotation of the worktable 10.

[0048] Working principle: When the device is in standby mode, the clamping arm 802 of the clamping assembly 8 is elastically connected to the drive rod 801 through the first abutment plate 804 and the first spring 805, so that the clamping arm 802 is in the open state; when the bottled water to be positioned enters the positioning groove 3 of the worktable 10 through the conveying mechanism and completes the initial positioning, the hydraulic rod 2 starts to retract, driving the circular plate 5 and all the receiving rods 4 fixedly connected to the circular plate 5 to move down synchronously;

[0049] During the downward movement of the receiving rod 4, the lower end of its internal drive rod 801 contacts the top of the bottled water. The bottled water generates an upward reaction force on the drive rod 801, forcing the drive rod 801 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 806 and slide upward along the groove 807, while compressing the second spring 806. Since the drive rod 801 is rotatably connected to the clamping arm 802 through the first connecting rod 803, the upward sliding of the drive rod 801 will drive the clamping arm 802 to retract towards the bottle body.

[0050] During the retraction of the clamping arm 802, the contact plate 903 of the adaptive component 9 mounted on it first contacts the bottle surface. If the bottle has a curved or square structure, the contact plate 903 will be subjected to uneven force. The connecting blocks 902 at both ends will rotate around the second connecting rod 904. This rotation will compress the third spring 905 between the second abutment plate 901 and the connecting block 902, which is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 802. The elastic deformation of the third spring 905 provides cushioning and enables the contact plate 903 to adaptively adjust its angle to fit the bottle surface, increasing the contact area and solving the problems of unstable clamping and damage to the bottle in the prior art.

[0051] Once the bottle is precisely positioned by the clamping component 8 and the adaptive component 9, the rotatable worktable 10 drives the bottled water through the labeling device 6 arranged on the side, and with the auxiliary pressing action of the roller 7, the label is precisely applied.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
