Abstract:
The present invention provides a bottle conveyor for a filling machine, comprising multiple pairs of bottle-gripping members and a circulating chain conveyor mechanism, and a pair of bottle-gripping members is mounted, via an open-close modular mechanism, to a convey chain of the circulating chain conveyor mechanism. The open-close modular mechanism is provided with a rotary support capable of being opened as a V-shape, a synchronization mechanism configured to define the opened V-shape, an elastic mechanism configured to provide a bottle-gripping force to the bottle-gripping member and a self-restoring force for the opened V-shape, and an external force import mechanism. A mechanism configured to open the bottle-gripping members is provided respectively at a bottle entrance location and a bottle exit location of the bottle conveyor, and the mechanism configured to open the bottle-gripping members cooperates with the external force import mechanism to provide an external force. The bottle conveyor can rapidly open or close the bottle-gripping members on the circulating chain conveyor mechanism directly, thus improving the conveyance efficiency and speed, alleviating loading of a motor, and simplifying the structure of a robotic arm and the structure for opening or closing the bottle-gripping members in the filling machine.

Claim (Index 4):
The bottle conveyor for a filling machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the rotary support comprises a front swing arm and a rear swing arm arranged in a V-shape, lower ends thereof being rotatably connected to a connecting member, and the connecting member being connected to the conveyor chain; the synchronization mechanism comprises a pair of gears engaged each other, the pair of gears being at lower ends of the front swing arm and the rear swing arm respectively, and the elastic mechanism being connected between the front swing arm and the rear swing arm.
