DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further specifically described below through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Embodiment: A wine jar automatic closing device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a horizontal support 1, a capping mechanism and a wire winding mechanism, wherein the capping mechanism and the wire winding mechanism are both arranged on the horizontal support 1, and a vertical hole is opened on the horizontal support 1.

[0025] The capping mechanism includes a capping cylinder 13, a sleeve 14, and a capping 15. The sleeve 14 is inserted into a vertical hole on the horizontal support 1, and the top end surface of the sleeve 14 extends outward to form a circular mounting platform, which can be fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal support 1 by bolts. The capping cylinder 13 is fixedly mounted above the sleeve 14, and its output rod passes downward through the sleeve 14 and is connected to a movable support 16. The movable support 16 has multiple guide holes uniformly opened along the circumference near the edge. The top of the capping 15 is vertically fixed with multiple guide rods 17. The position distribution and size of the guide rods 17 match the guide holes, that is, the guide rods 17 are inserted into the guide holes of the movable support 16, and a limit nut 18 is provided on the top of the guide rod 17. The limit nut 18 matches the thread of the guide rod 17. The guide rod 17 is also sleeved with a buffer spring 19, and the two ends of the buffer spring 19 respectively abut the top surface of the capping 15 and the bottom surface of the movable support 16.

[0026] In the above structure, when the capping cylinder 13 is in operation, it drives the movable support 16 downward, thereby driving the capping 15 downward to complete the action of pressing the sealing material. The buffer spring 19 acts as a buffer. The elastic force of the buffer spring 19 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the limit nut 18. In this embodiment, the capping 15 is shaped like an inverted plate, its size is comparable to the mouth of the wine jar, and its edge is inclined toward the outside.

[0027] The wire winding mechanism includes a motor 2, a first gear 3, a second gear 4, a wire drawing arm 5, and a wire rack arm 6, wherein the motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the horizontal support 1, and its output shaft passes downward through the horizontal support 1 and is connected to the first gear 3; the second gear 4 is arranged outside the sleeve 14 through a bearing 8, that is, the inner ring of the bearing 8 is fixed to the sleeve 14, and the outer ring is fixed to the second gear 4, and the second gear 4 is meshed with the first gear 3; the wire drawing arm 5 and the wire rack arm 6 are both fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the second gear 4, wherein the wire drawing arm 5 is L-shaped, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second gear 4, and the other end is located below the edge of the pressure cover and at the same height as the jar mouth; a wire guide wheel 11 is provided in the relative middle part of the wire drawing arm 5, and a wire guide hole 12 is opened at the bottom end. The wire rack arm 6 is arranged on the opposite side of the wire drawing arm 5, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second gear 4, and the other end is provided with a wire rack 9, on which is wound a wire 10 for tying the mouth. In this embodiment, the wire 10 is a thin iron wire.

[0028] In order to avoid interference between the tying wire 10 and the output rod of the above-mentioned capping cylinder 13, in this embodiment, the straight line where the wire pulling arm 5 and the wire rack arm 6 are located is set to deviate from the center position of the second gear 4, so that the tying wire 10 also deviates from the center position, ensuring that when the second gear 4 rotates, there is a certain distance between the tying wire 10 and the output rod of the capping cylinder 13.

[0029] In the above structure, when the motor 2 is working, it drives the first gear 3 to rotate, and the first gear 3 drives the second gear 4 to rotate, and then drives the bottom end of the wire pulling arm 5 to rotate around the mouth of the wine jar; in this process, the wire 10 is pulled out from the wire rack 9 and passes through the wire guide wheel 11 and the wire guide hole 12 in turn.

[0030] In this embodiment, a wire-binding tensioning mechanism 7 is further provided on the wire-binding arm 5 . The wire-binding tensioning mechanism 7 is arranged below the wire-guiding wheel 11 and is used to tension the wire-binding wire 10 to prevent the wire-binding wire 10 from being entangled.

[0031] In this embodiment, the side surfaces of the wire pulling arm 5 are respectively provided with a first support 71 and a second support 72, wherein a first through hole is provided on the first support 71, and a second through hole is provided on the second support 72. The wire tensioning mechanism 7 comprises a tensioning cone sleeve 73 and an elastic cone sleeve 74, wherein the elastic cone sleeve 74 is fixedly provided in the first through hole of the first support 71, and a wire passage 741 is provided inside the elastic cone sleeve 74 along the length direction for the wire 10 to pass through; the tensioning cone sleeve 73 is movably provided in the second through hole of the second support 72, and an elastic cone sleeve passage 731 is provided inside the elastic cone sleeve 74 along the length direction for the elastic cone sleeve 74 to be inserted, the upper portion of the elastic cone sleeve passage 731 is a cylindrical surface, and the lower portion is a conical surface 732; the relative bottom of the elastic cone sleeve 74 is provided with a plurality of tensioning sheets 742 along the circumferential direction, the outer edge of the tensioning sheet 742 forms a cone and matches the conical surface 732 at the lower portion of the elastic cone sleeve passage.

[0032] In the above structure, an adjustment nut 75 and a tensioning spring 76 are sequentially sleeved on the outside of the tensioning cone sleeve 73 from top to bottom. The outer surface of the relatively upper portion of the tensioning cone sleeve 73 is provided with external threads, so that the adjustment nut 75 and the tensioning cone sleeve 73 threads match. The two ends of the tensioning spring 76 respectively abut the upper end surface of the second support 72 and the lower end surface of the adjustment nut 75. The tensioning spring 76 provides a certain elastic force, causing the tensioning cone sleeve 73 to move upward, while the elastic cone sleeve 74 is fixed. As a result, the conical surface 732 in the tensioning cone sleeve 73 produces an inward squeeze on the tensioning plate 742. When squeezed, the tensioning plate 742 deforms, thereby generating friction on the wire 10 passing through the wire channel 741, preventing the wire 10 from retreating and achieving the tensioning effect.

[0033] In the above structure, the elastic force of the tensioning spring 76 can be changed by rotating the adjusting nut 75, thereby adjusting the size of the extrusion force on the tensioning plate 742, and then adjusting the friction force of the tensioning plate 742 on the binding wire 10, thereby changing the tensioning effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are two tensioning pieces 742, symmetrically arranged. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of tensioning pieces 742 may be three or four, evenly distributed along the circumference of the elastic cone sleeve 74. When the elastic cone sleeve 74 and the tensioning cone sleeve 73 undergo relative displacement, the greater the number of tensioning pieces 742, the more easily they deform when squeezed by the conical surface 732, and the more sensitive the tensioning effect. However, at the same time, the greater the number of tensioning pieces 742, the smaller the contact surface between the tensioning pieces 742 and the tie wire 10, and the relatively poorer the friction effect on the tie wire 10.

[0035] When this embodiment is implemented, the cut lotus leaves, peach blossom paper, mud cover and other sealing materials are first covered on the jar mouth of the wine jar, and transported together with the wine jar to the bottom of the pressure cover 15, and the pressure cover cylinder 13 starts to work, driving the pressure cover 15 to move downward and press the sealing materials covered in advance; after the pressure cover action is completed, the staff can use pliers or other tools to pull one end of the tying wire 10 led out by the pulling arm 5, and then the motor 2 starts to work, and the bottom end of the pulling arm 5 rotates around the jar mouth of the wine jar. During this process, the tying wire 10 is pulled out from the wire rack 9, passes through the wire guide wheel 11, the wire tensioning mechanism 7 and the wire guide hole 12 in turn, and rotates around the jar mouth of the wine jar under the rotation of the pulling arm 5. After two circles, the staff can perform knotting and cutting work to complete the tying process of the wine jar.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely representative examples of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and is susceptible to numerous variations. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
