In addition, the terminology used herein is for describing the embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention. In this specification, the singular form also includes the plural form unless otherwise specified in the phrase. As used herein, 'comprises' and / or 'comprising' does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components.

Among the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an articulated container carrier according to the present invention. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views showing another embodiment of the container seating member shown in Figure 1, Figure 4 is a plan view showing the elastic fixing means of the container seating member shown in Figure 1, Figure 5 is 4 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the elastic fixing means shown in FIG. 4.

As shown in Figure 1, the articulated container carrier (C) according to the present invention is applied to the injection device 100 to automatically inject a liquid substance for transferring a plurality of containers 10 one after another will be. In the articulated container carrier C, connection holes 32 are formed in both end regions 31, and a container 10 is inserted between both connection holes 32 to be seated ( 34) is formed including a plurality of container seating member 30 is formed. In addition, each container seating member 30 can be rotated horizontally to each other within an angle set by connecting means 40 passing through each connecting hole 30 of each neighboring container seating member 30. It has a structure that is connected so as to be articulated.

This will be described in more detail.

1, the container seating member 30 constituting the articulated container carrier C is formed narrower toward the end regions 31 on both sides of the seating hole 34, and the connecting hole 32 ), When two neighboring container seating members 30 are connected to each other, a locking jaw 36 is formed to contact the side surface of the end region 31 to limit the angle of rotation in the horizontal direction.

The container seating member 30 may be made of synthetic material, or metal. In addition, the container seating member 30 is formed to a thickness of approximately 3-10 mm, but is not limited thereto, it is natural that the container 10 may be formed in various thicknesses depending on the structure or shape. And the container seating member 30 according to this embodiment is described based on what is formed in a rhombic or oval shape, but is not limited thereto, and may vary depending on the guide structure of the guide member 120 and the structure or shape of the container 10 to be described later.

The locking jaws 36 are formed to be stepped so that the periphery of the connecting hole 32 is lower than that of the seating hole 34. That is, by forming the locking jaw 36, the periphery (surface or back) of the connecting hole 32 is formed lower than the periphery (surface or back) of the seating hole 34. At this time, the height (H) of the locking jaw 36 relative to the surface of the end region 31, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface of each end region 31 of the adjacent container seating members 30 are mutually When overlapped and in close contact with each other, it is formed to be lower to 1/2 of the peripheral thickness T2 of the seating hole 34 to be equal to the combined thickness T1 and the peripheral thickness T2 of the seating hole 34. For example, when the peripheral thickness T2 of the seating hole 34 is 5 mm, the height H of the locking jaw 36 may be 2.5 mm, which is the end of each adjacent container seating member 30. When the regions 31 overlap each other, the combined thickness T1 is equal to the peripheral thickness T2, so that the guide member 120 of the injection device 100 to be described later is stably and uniformly guided without changing the height. will be.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the locking jaws 36 are formed on the surfaces of both end regions 31 in the one container seating member 30 (in the same direction), and the other container The guide member 30 may be formed on the back surfaces of both end regions 31 (in the same direction), respectively. Thus, as shown in Figure 2, any one of the container seating member 30 has a locking jaw 36 facing upward, and the adjacent container seating member 30 has a locking jaw 36 facing downward. After each end region 31 is overlapped is to be rotatably connected by a connecting means (40).

In addition, as shown in Figure 3, the locking jaw 36 may be formed on the surface of one end region 31 of the container seating member 30 and on the back surface of the opposite end region 31. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to rotatably connect to each other by using the connecting means 40 without having to distinguish between the front and rear surfaces of the adjacent container seating members 30.

On the other hand, on the container seating member 30, when the container 10 is inserted into the seating hole 34, elastic fixing means for elastically pressing the outer circumferential surface of the container 10 to fix the insertion state of the container 10 Is prepared.

Then, inside the elastic generating hole 34A, an arc-shaped stress distribution portion 34D for dispersing the stress generated in the pressing end 34C is formed in an arc shape. The stress transmitted to the root portion of the pressing end 34C can be dispersed by the stress dispersing portion 35D, thereby improving durability of the pressing end 34C.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the anti-slip material 34E having a large friction coefficient may be coated on the pressing protrusion 34B. By coating this anti-slip material, the pressing protrusion 34B can press the container 10 more stably to fix its position.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, a tubular anti-slip member made of a soft synthetic resin material or a rubber material may be fitted to the pressing protrusion 34B.

Thus, the pressing end (34C) is formed in a cantilever structure by the elastic generating hole (34A), the pressing end (34C) is provided with its own elasticity to be able to elastically support the container 10 with the pressing projection (34B) do.

The connecting means 40 for rotatably connecting the adjacent container seating members 30 on both sides is made of bolts and nuts that are fastened through each connecting hole 32 as shown in FIG. 1 or 2. You can.

In addition, the connecting means 40, as shown in Figure 3, is protruded vertically so as to be fitted into the adjacent connecting hole 32 in the vicinity of any one of the connecting holes 32 selected from both connecting holes 32 The end may be formed of a connecting protrusion 42 having a locking end 44. In this way, the connecting means 40 is composed of a connecting protrusion 42 having a locking end 44, so that it is not necessary to fasten with a bolt and a nut as in the above-described embodiment, and both container seating members ( 30) can be quickly and easily connected to each other to be rotatable. That is, when the connecting protrusion 42 is inserted into the connecting hole 32 of the adjacent container seating member 30, the connecting end 42 is inserted into the connecting hole 32, and then the locking end 44 is connected to the connecting hole ( Since it is caught on the edge of 32), both end regions 31 can be rotatably connected to each other. At this time, when the connecting means 40 is made of a connecting protrusion 42, the connecting protrusion 42 is protruded in one end region 31 of the container seating member 30, and the connecting hole is formed in the opposite end region 31. It is preferable that (32) is formed. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the connection holes 32 may be formed in one of the container seating members 30, and the connection protrusions 42 may be formed in the other container seating member 30, respectively.

When the container seating members 30 are connected to each other by the connecting means 49, as shown in FIG. 4, the container seating members 30 are connected to the articulated container carrier C configured as described above. It is possible to rotate in the horizontal direction within the angle allowed by each locking jaw 36 based on (refraction based on the connecting means). Therefore, the container carriers (C), in which the container seating members 30 are rotatably coupled to each other so as to be refracted in the horizontal direction, can be rolled around or transported or stored while the container seating members 30 are connected. In addition, since the order of the container 10 is never changed in the state in which the container 10 is inserted into the seating hole 34 of each container seating member 30, it is usefully applied to a task where the order of the container 10 is important. You can.

After the forward operation, the lowering operation causes the clamp 154D to position the lid 12 back to the open / close position OP. With this operation, the lid 12 is rotated in the locked direction by operating the first and second pressure rollers 152A and 152B in a state where the lid 12 is coupled to the inlet of the container 10 to rotate the container 10 in the locked direction. In this process, the lid 12 can be coupled back to the container 10.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the injection unit 140 and the lid opening / closing means 150 have been described on the basis of being respectively installed in the injection position A and the opening / closing position OP, respectively. OP), when the container 10 is located in the injection position (A), the clamp 154D of the lid opening / closing means 150 separates the lid 12 from the container, ascends and retracts, and injects. After the injection nozzle 142 of 140 is lowered to inject a liquid substance into the container 10, the injection nozzle 142 rises again, and the clamp 154D advances downward again to open the lid 12 to the container ( 10). That is, the lid 12 may be separated or combined at the injection position A, and a liquid material injection operation may be performed.

As described above, the automatic injection device 100 for liquid substances according to the present embodiment is provided with a lid opening and closing means 150 to automatically inject liquid substances into the container 10 having the lid 12.
