Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for gripping containers, particularly although not exclusively for gripping containers at a screw terminal of plugs, defined according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a device for gripping containers that do not have these disadvantages.
  • a container gripping device comprising a clamp having the first jaw fixed to the rotary platform and the second jaw mounted to pivot relative to the first jaw and provided with a control arm, the locking member acting on the control arm of the second jaw.
  • the fixed jaw serves as a positioning reference of the container and the shape and position of the locking member determine the degree of clamping of the jaws of the clamp when it is closed so that it is possible to exercise on the container the pressure exactly necessary to avoid a rotation of it without risking a deterioration of the container.
  • the actuating member of the locking member and the closing actuating member are arranged so that in a closed position of the jaws the locking member is oriented so that a point of greater eccentricity of the locking member is in contact with a roller carried by the control arm of the second jaw.
  • the clamp is thus locked irreversibly, that is to say that a force exerted by the container in the direction of the opening has no effect on the position of the jaws.
  • the container gripping device comprises a gripper comprising a first jaw 1 rigidly mounted on columns 2 fixed to a rotary platform 3 by bolts 4.
  • a second jaw 5 is worn by the first jaw 1 and is mounted to pivot relative thereto about an axis 6.
  • the second jaw 5 comprises a control arm 7 on which is mounted a control roller 8 which is mounted to pivot on an axis 9 for example by means of a needle bearing to withstand significant pressure forces.
  • the control roller 8 extends opposite a locking member which in the illustrated embodiment is formed by a circular cam 10 mounted to pivot eccentrically on an axis 11 carried by the first jaw 1.
  • the locking member 10 is provided with an operating member formed here by a plate 12 fixed to the cam 10 offset from the pivot axis 11 of the cam 10.
  • the actuating member 12 is further arranged to be alternately opposite an actuating roller to the opening 13 and an actuating roller at the closure 14 fixed under a plate 15 forming a fixed frame member of the gripping device.
  • the actuating members 13 and 14 are disposed on either side of the trajectory followed by the cam 10 during the rotation of the platform 3.
  • the jaws 1 and 5 are biased towards an open position by a spring 16 disposed between the jaws, which furthermore keeps the control roller 8 of the control arm 7 bearing against the locking cam 10.
  • the operating member 12 and the actuating member at the opening 13 are arranged so that during a passage of the actuating member 12 facing the actuating member 13 as illustrated in Figure 1, the locking cam 10 is oriented with the point of greatest eccentricity extending in a direction perpendicular to a plane passing through the pivot axis 11 of the cam 10 and the In this position, a container 17 can be inserted between the jaws 1 and 5 just before the actuating member 12 is in front of the actuating member at the closure 14.
  • maneuvering member 12 bears on the closing actuating member 14, the operating member 12 switches and causes a quarter-turn rotation of the locking cam 10 as illustrated in FIG.
  • the invention has been illustrated according to an embodiment where the second jaw 5 and the locking member 10 are carried by the first jaw, which allows to completely change the clamp by performing a single disassembly operation and reassembly, it is possible to realize the invention by separately mounting the second jaw 5 and the locking member 10 directly on the rotary platform 3.
  • the invention has been described in relation to a locking member in the form of a circular cam and arranging the operating member and the actuating members for the cam to rotate a quarter of a turn between an opening command and a closure command of the jaws, which allows by means of an inexpensive structure to achieve a fast and precise movement of the jaws and to ensure irreversible locking
  • the invention can be realized with a cam having a more complex shape, for example an ovoid cam, or use any other locking member having an eccentric structure, for example a finger carried by a lever and engaged in a light of the control arm.
