Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of packaging equipment, and in particular relates to a bacterial seed bottle capping device capable of preventing the bottle cap from falling off. Background Art
[0002] During the production and processing of bacterial strains, the bacterial strains need to be placed in bacterial strain bottles, and then the bottle caps are put on the bacterial strain bottles by the bottle capping machine to complete the packaging of the product. In the prior art, when the bottle caps are fed to the bottle capping machine, the bottle caps fall into the bottle capping machine from a high place. Since the bottle caps are diverted in the bottle capping machine, the bottle caps corresponding to the bacterial strain bottles delivered are covered on the mouths of the bacterial strain bottles during the diversion process. However, during the diversion process, bottle caps are continuously fed in. If the diversion is not timely, the bottle caps will accumulate, causing the bottle caps that fall from a high place to bounce after falling and fall out of the bottle capping machine. After the bottle caps fall, they need to be picked up and processed manually, which increases production time and cost and reduces production efficiency. In addition, the fallen bottle caps may come into contact with the ground or other unclean objects, causing contamination and affecting the quality and safety of the bacterial strains.

When the culture bottles are transported to the diversion mechanism 4, the bottle caps can be covered on the bottle mouths of the culture bottles; the cap sorting mechanism 5 includes a first motor 51, a crank 52, a connecting rod 53, a connecting piece 54, a sliding rod 55, and a pushing block 56; the first motor 51 is horizontally arranged on the front side of the bottle cap conveyor 2, and its output shaft faces to the right; the crank The lower end of 52 is fixedly connected to the motor output shaft; the lower end of the connecting rod 53 is hinged to the upper end of the crank 52; the slide bar 55 slides horizontally back and forth in the slide 31, and its length is less than the length of the slide 31; the connecting member 54 is an L-shaped structure, the upper part of its vertical side is hinged to the left side of the front end face of the slide bar 55, the horizontal side extends to the front side, and the front side of the horizontal side is hinged to the upper end of the connecting rod 53, and the intersection of the vertical side and the horizontal side is hinged to the front end face of the conveying plate frame 3; the push block 56 is horizontally arranged left and right, and its right end is fixed to the front and rear sides of the left end face of the slide bar 55. The first motor 51 drives the crank 52 to rotate, driving the lower end of the connecting rod 53 to move eccentrically, so that the upper end of the connecting rod 53 performs reciprocating motion in the vertical direction. When the upper end of the connecting rod 53 moves, it pushes the left side of the horizontal side of the connecting member 54, so that the connecting member 54 rotates based on the hinge point between the connecting member 54 and the conveying plate frame 3, so that the vertical side of the connecting member 54 pushes the sliding rod 55, so that the sliding rod 55 reciprocates left and right in the slideway 31. When the sliding rod 55 moves left and right, it drives the pushing block 56 to move left and right.

The upper ends of multiple diverter plates 43 are fixedly connected to the fixed rod 41, and a diverter channel is formed between adjacent diverter plates 43; the bottle cap enters the diverter channel from the vertical direction, and after contacting the bottle mouth of the culture bottle downward, the culture bottle continues to move to the right, and cooperates with the shape of the diverter channel to convert the bottle cap to a horizontal direction, thereby covering the bottle mouth of the culture bottle; the connecting rod 44 is arranged horizontally on the left and right, and the two ends of the connecting rod 44 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two fixed plates 42, and the middle part passes through multiple diverter plates 43. The bottle caps fall from the conveying plate frame 3 and enter the diversion channels respectively. Each diversion channel corresponds to a row of culture bottles on the culture bottle conveyor 1. The bottle caps continuously enter the diversion channels and cooperate with the conveying culture bottles to make the bottle caps cover the bottle mouth of each culture bottle.
[0033] The system further includes a pressing plate 45, which is disposed between adjacent diverter plates 43 and is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 41 and the connecting rod 44.

When the capped culture bottle moves forward, the bottle cap contacts the pressing roller 72, which presses the bottle cap against the bottle mouth.
[0035] The working mode of the utility model is:
[0036] The arranged culture bottles are transported from left to right via the culture bottle conveyor 1 . The bottle cap feeder delivers the bottle caps to the left and right sides of the top surface of the conveying plate frame 3 through the conveying channel 6, and the bottle caps slide from the inclined surface of the conveying plate frame 3 to the middle of the conveying plate frame 3 and are conveyed downward by the bottle cap conveyor 2. At the same time, the first motor 51 is started, and the first motor 51 drives the crank 52 to rotate, driving the lower end of the connecting rod 53 to move eccentrically, so that the upper end of the connecting rod 53 performs reciprocating motion in the vertical direction. When the upper end of the connecting rod 53 moves, it pushes the left side of the horizontal edge of the connecting member 54, so that the connecting member 54 rotates based on the hinge point of the connecting member 54 and the conveying plate frame 3, so that the vertical edge of the connecting member 54 pushes the sliding rod 55, so that the sliding rod 55 reciprocates left and right in the slideway 31. When the sliding rod 55 moves left and right, it drives the pushing block 56 to move left and right. The pushing block 56 can push the bottle cap left and right, so that the bottle cap quickly enters the diverter channel formed by the diverter plate 43 of the diverter mechanism 4, so that the bottle cap quickly falls and prevents the bottle cap from piling up. After the bottle caps enter the diversion channel, they come into contact with the mouths of the transferred spawn bottles and are capped by the movement of the spawn bottles and the action of the pressing plate 45. The capped spawn bottles move forward and come into contact with the pressing roller 72, which tightens the caps on the spawn bottles, completing the capping of the spawn bottles.
[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
