[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, limit probes are provided on the gripping frames on both sides of the transverse slide rail.
[0014] By implementing the above technical solution, the limit probe can limit the movement trajectory of the gripping base along the lateral drive component.
[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, a telescopic drive is provided between the lower side of the rotating base and the cap gripper, and the telescopic drive drives the cap gripper to move up and down.
[0016] To achieve the above technical solution, by setting up a telescopic drive component, the cap gripper can be driven to move up and down, thereby better realizing the grasping and placement of the cap.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, a positioning base is provided on the gripping frame, a positioning drive is provided on the positioning base, a positioning claw is provided on the movable end of the positioning drive, the positioning drive drives the positioning claw to reciprocate along a direction perpendicular to the feeding track, and the positioning claw is located on the upper side of the feeding track.
[0018] To achieve the above technical solution, the positioning drive component drives the positioning claw to reciprocate along a direction perpendicular to the feeding track. The positioning claw can be used to position the nut on the feeding track, thereby facilitating the stability of the subsequent cap gripper's grasp of the nut.
[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, a material seat is provided on the feeding track near the gripper frame, and a feeding opening is provided on the material seat. The movement trajectory of the positioning claw covers the upper side of the feeding opening.
[0020] To achieve the above technical solution, the material seat can provide positioning for the nut packer, and the feeding opening can facilitate the gripping of the nut packer by the cap clamp.
[0021] As described above, the end cap gripping mechanism of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: the end cap is conveyed to one side of the gripping frame by the feeding tray via the feeding track. The gripping base slides along the gripping frame, causing the rotating connecting rod to drive the rotating base plate to rotate. The rotating base rotates around the gripping base with the rotation of the rotating base plate. The end cap gripper is located on the rotating base, so it can rotate with the rotating base to grip the end cap in the feeding track and put it onto the end cap conveying track, thereby completing the capping action.

[0030] The end cap is conveyed from the feeding tray 2 to one side of the gripper frame 1 via the feeding track 3. The gripper base 4 slides along the gripper frame 1, causing the rotating connecting rod 7 to drive the rotating base plate 8 to rotate. In turn, the rotating base 6 rotates around the gripper base 4 along with the rotating base plate 8. The cap gripper 5 is located on the rotating base 6, so it can rotate with the rotating base 6 to grab the end cap in the feeding track 3 and put it onto the end cap conveying track, thus completing the capping action.
[0031] Rotary connecting rod 7 is provided with rotating connecting seats 9 at both ends. The rotating connecting seats 9 are threadedly connected to the rotating connecting rod 7. The rotating connecting seats 9 are rotatably engaged with the gripping frame 1 and the rotating base plate 8. By providing rotating connecting seats 9 at both ends of the rotating connecting rod 7 and threading the rotating connecting seats 9 to the rotating connecting rod 7, the depth of the rotating connecting seats 9 covering the rotating connecting rod 7 can be adjusted according to the usage needs, thereby increasing or decreasing the rotation angle of the rotating base 6 to adjust the gripping range of the cap gripper 5.
[0032] A transverse slide rail 10 is provided on the gripping frame 1. A transverse drive component is provided on one side of the transverse slide rail 10. The gripping base 4 is located at the movable end of the transverse drive component. The gripping base 4 and the transverse slide rail 10 are slidably engaged. The transverse slide rail 10 can guide and limit the movement of the gripping base 4, thereby improving the stability of the gripping base 4 as it moves with the transverse drive component.
[0033] Limit probes 11 are installed on the gripping frame 1 on both sides of the transverse slide rail 10. The limit probes 11 can limit the movement trajectory of the gripping base 4 with the transverse drive component.
[0034] A telescopic drive component 12 is provided between the lower side of the rotating base 6 and the cap gripper 5. The telescopic drive component 12 drives the cap gripper 5 to move up and down. By providing the telescopic drive component 12, the cap gripper 5 can be moved up and down, thereby better realizing the grasping and placement of the cap.
[0035] A positioning base 14 is provided on the gripper frame 1, and a positioning drive 13 is provided on the positioning base 14.

The rotating base plate then rotates around the gripper base as the rotating base plate rotates. The cap gripper is located on the rotating base, so it can rotate with the rotating base to grip the end caps in the feeding track and place them onto the end cap conveying track, thus completing the capping action.
[0038] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
