    [0003] TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    [0005] The present invention is encompassed in the field of container handlers, specifically, containers of the bottle, barrel type and the like.
    [0007] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0009] In the production lines in which bottle, barrel and similar type containers are manufactured, which are also often referred to as containers, it is common for there to be a manipulator to move the containers from the outlet of the injection-blowing line to a conveyor belt that takes them to another station on the line, to label, place an accessory, stack and pack, etc.
    [0011] The aforementioned and known manipulators usually use suction cups, which sometimes fails to grip or grip, as the suction cups wear out or plug, and it is also not easily adaptable to different sizes of containers, as a large suction cup cannot be used for a container. much lower and vice versa. Added to this, there may be a problem that the container has different faces, so it must always be well facing the suction cup so that it can act correctly, if the suction cup is turned it cannot act.
    [0013] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0015] The present invention is established and characterized in the independent claims, while the dependent claims describe other characteristics thereof.
    [0017] The object of the invention is a container handler of the bottle, barrel type and the like. The technical problem to solve is to configure the manipulator so that it can adapt to different sizes of containers without having to carry out changes on it.
    [0018] In view of the foregoing, the present invention refers to a container handler of the bottle, barrel and similar type that comprises a frame, usually by joining metal profiles, in which gripping means are arranged to grip the containers. , said gripping means are displaceable horizontally by means of displacement horizontally and vertically by means of vertical displacement, as is known in the state of the art. The aforementioned horizontal and vertical displacements are usually translational and are carried out by known and commercial means such as belts, corridors with trolleys driven by electric motors, for example.
    [0020] The manipulator is characterized by the fact that the gripping means comprise a first slat arranged horizontally and a second slat arranged parallel to the first slat, means for adjusting the distance of a slat, for example the first, with respect to the other, the second, in such a way that the variation of said distance allows the holding of the containers.
    [0022] In this way the object of the invention is achieved, which is also its main advantage, of being able to adapt to different sizes of containers without carrying out any change in the manipulator, such as the change of suction cups in the known, since the slats are linear elements themselves invariable, being the adaptation to the different sizes carried out by the regulation of the distance between the slats.
    [0024] Other advantages related to details embodied in the dependent claims are cited in the detailed discussion.
    [0026] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
    [0028] The present specification is complemented with a set of figures, illustrative of the preferred example, and never limiting of the invention.
    [0030] Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the manipulator. The part related to a holding means is circled, which is represented in enlarged view in Figure 2.
    [0031] Figure 3 represents a bottom view of the gripping means.
    [0033] Figure 4 represents a perspective view of the gripping means.
    [0035] Figure 5 represents a perspective view of a second support of the gripping means.
    [0037] DETAILED EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION
    [0039] Figure 1 shows a container manipulator (1) of the bottle, barrel and similar type that comprises a frame (2) in which there are gripping means (3) to grip the containers (1), said means of grip (3) are movable horizontally by means of horizontal movement and vertically by means of vertical movement. Said means of movement are not specifically specified as they can be any of the known ones; For example, in figure 1 the representation of an electric motor that corresponds to the vertical displacement means can be seen in the upper part.
    [0041] Figures 2 to 4 show the holding means (3) that comprise a first slat (3.2) arranged horizontally and a second slat (3.3) arranged parallel to the first slat (3.2), regulation means (3.4), figure 3, of the distance of a strip, first (3.2), with respect to the other, second (3.3), so that the variation of said distance allows the holding of the containers (1).
    [0043] In detail, figure 3, as an option the regulation means (3.4) comprise at least one first pneumatic cylinder (3.41) fixed at one end to the first support (3.1) and at the other connected to the first slat (3.2), said first cylinder pneumatic (3.41) arranged transversely to said first slat (3.2), in the representation specifically arranged perpendicularly. Specifically, said connection to the first slat (3.2) comprises a first rod (3.42) connected to a connector (3.43) rotatably fixed to the first support (3.1) and to which a second rod (3.44) is connected.
    [0045] Thus, the movement of the pneumatic cylinder (3.41) makes the first rod (3.42) move linearly, which makes the connector (3.43) rotate, which makes the second move linearly rod (3.44), which is attached through lateral extensions, not numbered in the figures, to the first strip (3.2). As can be seen in Figures 1 to 4, the first support (3.1) is both the plate on which its numerical reference is indicated and any element attached to it, such as the lateral profiles to it on which the connector is fixed. (3.43). On the other hand, in the represented embodiment two identical and parallel adjustment means (3.4) are included, although they are not necessary, they cause the movement to be parallel guided avoiding the counterpoint of one of the sides.
    [0047] Another option of the embodiment shown is that at least one of the slats, second (3.3) for example, has means for lateral movement (3.5), figure 4. Specifically, the means for lateral movement (3.5) comprise a second pneumatic cylinder (3.51) fixed at one end to the first support (3.1) and at the other end to the second strip (3.3), arranged parallel to said second strip (3.3). Thus, the movement of the second pneumatic cylinder (3.51) makes the second slat (3.3) move laterally, which makes the containers (1) turn on themselves, with which the advantage of being able to turn them is obtained to leave them equally faced, when so required in the part of the production line where the manipulator must deposit them.
    [0049] Another option of the embodiment shown is that the frame (2) has a second support (4) fixed in a rotational manner and on which the gripping means (3) are arranged, figure 5. Specifically, it is especially advantageous that the rotation of the second support (4) is between 20 ° and 60 °, more specifically between 25 ° and 50 °, useful and necessary in certain production lines when various sections of them are not aligned, that is, where the manipulator take the containers (1) is not lined up where you should put them. Specifically, between the frame (2) and the second support (4) there is a third pneumatic cylinder (5) whose action allows the rotation of the second support (4), which is a simple way to achieve said rotation.
    [0051] Another option of the embodiment represented is that the first support (3.1) is arranged in a column (6) on which it can move vertically, figure 1. Thus, a versatile configuration is achieved, leaving free space on the sides of the holding means ( 3) to avoid possible interference with the frame (2) of the manipulator itself.
