This utility model discloses a cap-retrieving mechanism for a capping
machine, relating to the field of bottled
food packaging equipment for beverages and other products. It effectively matches the cap supply speed with the capping speed, avoiding problems such as cap jamming, clogging, and misalignment. The capping
machine includes a frame, a turntable, and several capping devices. The turntable rotates under the drive of a rotary power source, and the capping devices are evenly distributed around the circumference of the turntable. The cap-retrieving mechanism includes a cap slide
assembly, a cap-retrieving plate, a rotating shaft, a transmission gear, and a
retainer. The
retainer is fixedly connected to the frame of the capping
machine, and the cap slide
assembly is fixedly installed beside the
retainer. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the retainer, and an arc-shaped guide slide is fixedly installed at the bottom of the retainer. The cap-retrieving plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft, and the transmission gear is fixedly fitted in the middle of the rotating shaft. Overall, it provides stable and orderly cap retrieval, more efficient pushing and arranging of
bottle caps, and effectively avoids a series of technical problems caused by misaligned
bottle caps.
