It is to be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is intended to include all or any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

The technical solution of the present invention and how to solve the above technical problems will be described in detail with specific examples.

The screw cap fixing device for an aseptic filling machine, which is provided in a working area of a screw cap machine 10 as shown in fig. 1, includes a base 100, a clamping assembly 200 and a controller. The fixed adjusting device is only a part of the sterile filling machine, and the sterile filling machine further comprises a bottle loading device and a bottle transferring device, which are not improvements of the present application and will not be described in detail, but are known to those skilled in the relevant field.

The base 100 includes a supporting plate 110 and a telescopic portion 120, the supporting plate 110 is provided with a groove 111, and a top plate of the telescopic portion 120 is disposed in the groove 111 and parallel to a bottom surface of the groove 111. The groove 111 can play a certain role in positioning the bottle body 20, and the bottle body 20 entering the groove 111 can be relatively fixed on the support plate 110. A pressure sensor can be arranged in the groove 111, when the bottle bottom contacts the sensor at the bottom of the groove 111, the cap screwing machine 10 does not press the bottle cap down any more, and the force pushing the bottle body 20 into the clamping assembly 200 can be more accurately grasped. The telescopic part 120 can be a small hydraulic jack and can be extended and contracted up and down within a certain size range under the control of a controller.

The clamping assembly 200 includes a first elastic side pad 210 and a second elastic side pad 220 opposite to each other, the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance, the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 are disposed on the plate surface of the supporting plate 110, and the groove 111 is located between the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220. The clamping assembly 200 mainly comprises two elastic side pads, which can be made of rubber material. The distance between the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 can be determined according to the diameter of the bottle body 20 to be clamped, and the minimum distance between the two pads can be slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottle body 20 to avoid the bottle body 20 from being crushed.

The controller is electrically connected to the telescoping section 120 and the capping machine 10, respectively. The key component in the controller is a Processor loaded with a job control program for performing aseptic packaging operations, and from a hardware perspective, the Processor may be a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a general-purpose Processor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or other Programmable logic device, transistor logic device, hardware component, or any combination thereof. Which may implement or perform the various illustrative logical blocks, modules, and circuits described in connection with the disclosure. A processor may also be a combination of computing functions, e.g., comprising one or more microprocessors, a DSP and a microprocessor, or the like.

The application of the utility model provides a use scene of the screw cap fixing device of the sterile filling machine, which is as follows:

a body 20 loading mechanism, which may be present in the aseptic filling machine, initially loads the body 20 into the gripper assembly 200, and the capping machine 10 lowers the cap carried by the cap from above the body 20 to near the mouth of the body 20, initially pressing the cap onto the mouth. The capper 10 is further lowered to press the cap and body 20 down between the first and second

resilient side pads

210 and 220 of the clamping assembly 200 until it enters the recess 111 of the support plate 110. The cap screwing machine 10 rotates the cap to screw down under the control of the controller, and the cap screwing machine 10 resets. The controller controls the extension portion 120 to ascend to push the bottle body to a certain position, so that the bottle body is separated from most of the clamping of the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220. The capped vials are then removed from the sterile filling machine screw cap fixture and placed in a package or other device by a vial unloading mechanism that may be present in the sterile filling machine.

According to the cap screwing fixing device for the sterile filling machine, the clamping assembly 200 with the clamping space is arranged, the cap screwing machine 10 is used for pressing the bottle body downwards into the clamping space, the clamping assembly 200 can firmly clamp the bottle body, the cap screwing machine 10 can avoid the bottle body from slipping when the bottle cap is rotated, after the bottle body is screwed, the bottle body is ejected through the telescopic part 120 at the bottom of the clamping space, and therefore the bottle body can be unloaded.

Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the opposite side end surfaces of the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 have an inclined portion 201 and an arc portion 202, and the axis of the arc portion 202 is perpendicular to the plane of the support plate 110. By arranging the inclined portion 201, a larger opening can be formed between the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220, so that the bottle body can enter conveniently. Of course, still can set up certain interim loading space on the rake 201, this interim loading space specifically can set up the cell body of certain degree of depth on the rake of rake 201, forms the clamping structure who matches with the bottle of certain model between the cell body of two elasticity side pads, makes things convenient for the interim steady storage of bottle. The arrangement of the arc portion 202 enables the elastic side pad to contact with the side surface of the bottle body in a larger area, so that the friction force on the bottle body 20 is increased, and the bottle body 20 is further prevented from slipping when being sealed by screwing the cap.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, the present application further includes vertical plates 300 parallel to each other, the vertical plates 300 are vertically and fixedly connected to the supporting plate 110, and the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 are respectively connected to the vertical plates 300. Through setting up riser 300, can improve the structural stability of centre gripping subassembly 200 in the horizontal direction of centre gripping subassembly 200, avoid the elasticity side pad to incline to both sides, also can improve the clamping-force of centre gripping subassembly 200.

Optionally, in some specific implementations of an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 are movably disposed on the supporting plate 110, and a spring set 310 is disposed between the first elastic side pad 210 and/or the second elastic side pad 220 and the vertical plate 300. The first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 may be movably connected to the support plate 110 through a sliding groove provided on the support plate 110, so that the first elastic side pad 210 and the second elastic side pad 220 may reciprocate on a certain straight line of the support plate 110. Through set up the spring between riser 300 and elasticity side pad, improve the elastic deformation space of elasticity side pad, can be applied to the body 20 of multiple model, improve aseptic filling machine spiral cover fixing device's adaptability.
