Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a bottle cap sorting device, specifically to a cap closing device for a flip-top bottle cap. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, the flip caps produced by injection molding are all open and need to be closed manually. After a shift, not only is the labor intensity for the operators high, but their fingers may also develop blisters, affecting their normal work. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a capping device for a flip-top bottle cap that can reduce the labor intensity of operators and prevent operators from being injured.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a capping device for a flip-top bottle cap, comprising: a base, wherein at least two cap mounting seats are arranged in a straight line on the base, that is, the center line connecting all the cap mounting seats is a straight line; linear guide rails perpendicular to the center line are respectively provided on the outermost two cap mounting seats on the base, the two ends of the linear guide rails are located on both sides of the center line; cap clamping seats are slidably arranged on both sides of the center line on the two linear guide rails; the two cap clamping seats are provided with arc-shaped clamping grooves corresponding to the caps, facing the cap mounting seats; cap clamping cylinders corresponding to the cap clamping seats are respectively provided on the base; the piston rod of the cap clamping cylinder is connected to the corresponding cap clamping seat; the base is also provided with a cap-closing swing cylinder whose piston rod cooperates with all the cap mounting seats; the piston rod of the cap-closing swing cylinder is provided with a flip-top sleeve corresponding to each cap mounting seat.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned flip-top bottle cap closing device, the flip-top sleeve is olive-shaped with a large diameter in the middle and a gradually decreasing diameter towards both ends.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned capping device for a flip-top bottle cap, the cap clamping cylinder is disposed on the outside of the corresponding cap clamping seat.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned capping device for a flip-top bottle cap, a position setting bracket is provided on both sides of the capping swing cylinder on the base. The position setting bracket is provided with a sensing adjustment rod that cooperates with the sensor mounting slot on the capping swing cylinder. A sensor is provided on the sensing adjustment rod and is installed in the sensor mounting slot on the capping swing cylinder.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned flip-top bottle cap closing device, the specific installation method of the sensing adjustment rod is as follows: the position setting bracket has an installation through hole that mates with the sensing adjustment rod, the rear part of the sensing adjustment rod has a threaded section that passes through the installation through hole of the position setting bracket, and locking nuts are respectively provided on both sides of the threaded section of the rear part of the sensing adjustment rod on the position setting bracket.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned flip-top bottle cap closing device, the tail of the sensing adjustment rod is provided with a rod cap.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. This utility model can clamp the bottle cap in the corresponding bottle cap clamping seats on both sides, and then close the flip cap by swinging the piston rod of the cap-closing swing cylinder, thereby greatly reducing the labor intensity of the operator and avoiding the operator's normal work being affected by blisters on the fingers.
[0012] 2. By designing the flip cover into an olive shape with a large diameter in the middle and a gradually decreasing diameter towards both ends, this utility model greatly reduces the contact area between the flip cover and the flip cover, effectively avoiding leaving obvious indentations on the flip cover during the flipping process.
[0013] 3. This utility model uses a sensor-adjusting rod to change the stroke of the swing cylinder for closing the lid, thereby shortening the flipping time as much as possible and improving the efficiency of closing the lid.
[0014] 4. The installation method of the induction adjustment rod described in this utility model is very convenient. Simply loosen the locking nut on the corresponding side, move it into place, and then tighten the locking nut on the other side. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a detailed embodiment of the capping device for a flip-top bottle cap according to this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the closing device for a flip-top bottle cap of this utility model includes: a base 1, on which four bottle cap holders 18 are arranged in a straight line, that is: the center line 15 connecting all four bottle cap holders 18 is a straight line, and the outermost two bottle cap holders 18 on the base 1 are located on the outer side of the base 1. Figure 1 The uppermost bottle cap holder 18 and the lowermost bottle cap holder 18 are respectively provided with linear guide rails 2 perpendicular to the center line 15. The two ends of the linear guide rails 2 are located on both sides of the center line 15, that is, the center line 15 passes through the middle of the linear guide rails 2. Bottle cap clamping seats 3 are slidably arranged on both sides of the center line 15 on the two linear guide rails 2. The two bottle cap clamping seats 3 are provided with arc-shaped clamps corresponding to the bottle caps, facing the bottle cap holder 18. The base 1, located in slot 38, has bottle cap clamping cylinders 4 respectively installed on the outer side of the corresponding bottle cap clamping seats 3. The piston rods of the bottle cap clamping cylinders 4 are connected to the corresponding bottle cap clamping seats 3. The base 1 also has a cap-closing swing cylinder 8 whose piston rods cooperate with all the bottle cap mounting seats 18. The piston rod 81 of the cap-closing swing cylinder 8 is provided with flip-cap sleeves 88 that correspond one-to-one with the bottle cap mounting seats 18. The flip-cap sleeves 88 are olive-shaped with a larger diameter in the middle and a gradually smaller diameter towards both ends (see...). Figure 4 (As shown); Position setting brackets 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the sway cylinder 8 for closing the lid on the base 1. The position setting brackets 11 are provided with sensing adjustment rods 7 that cooperate with the sensor mounting slots on the sway cylinder 8 for closing the lid. The specific installation method is as follows: the position setting brackets 11 are provided with mounting through holes that cooperate with the sensing adjustment rods 7. The rear part of the sensing adjustment rods 7 is provided with a threaded section that passes through the mounting through holes of the position setting brackets 11. Locking nuts 75 are respectively provided on both sides of the threaded section of the rear part of the sensing adjustment rods 7 on the position setting brackets 11. A sensor 78 is provided at the inner end of the sensing adjustment rods 7. A rod cap is provided at the outer end of the sensing adjustment rods 7. The sensor 78 is placed in the sensor mounting slots on the sway cylinder 8 for closing the lid (which is a conventional technology in this field and will not be described in detail here).
[0022] In actual use, first place the four bottle caps 9 one by one on the bottle cap holder 18. Then, activate the bottle cap clamping cylinder 4 to push the two bottle cap clamping seats 3 closer together, so that the arc-shaped clamping grooves 38 on the two bottle cap clamping seats 3 clamp the corresponding bottle caps 9. Then, activate the cap closing swing cylinder 8. The piston rod 81 of the cap closing swing cylinder 8 rotates, so that the four flip sleeves 88 on the piston rod 81 close the four flip caps 91 onto the corresponding bottle caps 9 one by one (see...). Figure 3 (As shown).
[0023] In summary, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent variations and modifications made to the shape, structure, features and spirit described in the claims of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
