The front fixed block 112 is fixed to the top of the front end of the pressure cover plate 7, and the front movable block 113 is movably arranged at the top of the front end of the pressure cover plate 7. The right end of the front fixed block 112 The pressure cover plate 7 extends to the right, and the left end of the front movable block 113 extends to the left; a right rear connecting vertical shaft 114 is fixed to the rear end of the right arc-shaped guide plate 10, and a right front connecting vertical shaft 115 is fixed to the front end; the front end of the right arc-shaped guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the front fixed block 112 through the right front connecting vertical shaft 115, and the rear end of the right arc-shaped guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rear fixed block 111 through the right rear connecting vertical shaft 114, so that the right arc-shaped guide plate 10 is connected and fixed to the pressure cover plate 7 as a whole; the left arc-shaped guide plate 9 The rear end of the left curved guide plate 9 is fixed with a left rear connecting vertical shaft 116, and the front end is fixed with a left front connecting vertical shaft 117. The rear end of the left curved guide plate 9 is hinged to the left end of the front fixed block 112 through the left rear connecting vertical shaft 116, and the front end of the left curved guide plate 9 is fixedly connected to the left end of the front movable block 113 through the left front connecting vertical shaft 117, so that the left curved guide plate 9 can be relatively rotated in the horizontal direction to approach or move away from the right curved guide plate 10.

The second tension spring 118 makes The left arc guide plate 9 always has a tendency to approach the right arc guide plate 10; the function of the elastic bottle protection connection assembly is to make the left arc guide plate 9 and the right arc guide plate 10 elastically connected; due to the difference in the production of bottles, some bottle necks are not perfect circles, and after the left arc guide plate 9 and the right arc guide plate 10 are elastically connected, the distance between the left arc guide plate 9 and the right arc guide plate 10 can be automatically adjusted with the change of the diameter of the bottle neck, so as to avoid the bottle being stuck when passing through the capping channel, thereby improving the stability of use;

[0024] In this embodiment, a magnetic block 19 is installed on the capping plate 7 at the entrance of the reverse capping strip 13; the function of the magnetic block 19 is to slightly lift the front end of the bottle cap 4 before the bottle cap 4 is reversely capped by the reverse capping strip 13, which is conducive to preventing the bottle cap from being stuck and further improving the stability of use;

[0025] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0026] The bottle caps outputted from the cap sorter will be arranged in sequence and enter the cap feeding slideway 2 of the cap buckling unit. The bottle cap 4 in the front of the cap feeding slideway 2 will be blocked by the two cap blocking claws 31 of the elastic positioning cap blocking assembly 3, so that it will temporarily stay at the exit of the cap feeding slideway 2 with its front part tilted downward and extended out of the exit of the cap feeding slideway 2, waiting for the bottle to pass through the cap buckling unit and buckle the bottle cap 4 on the bottle mouth;

[0027] The bottle pusher continuously sends the filled bottles 5 on the bottom support plate 16 to the capping machine along the outer arc plate in sequence through the push wheel. Before the bottles 5 enter the capping machine, they first pass through the capping unit and the cap rubbing unit in sequence. When the bottles 5 pass through the capping unit, the bottles 5 are hung on and taken out of the capping unit. The bottle caps 4 at this time are tilted forward and extend downward from the exit of the cap feeding slideway 2 and stay at the exit of the cap feeding slideway.

[0028] The bottle 5 with the bottle cap 4 is driven by the bottle pusher and continues to rotate along the climbing plate 15 to pass through the capping unit. In the process of the bottle 5 passing through the capping unit, the bottle cap 4 and the neck of the bottle will move along the capping passage 12. Since the upper end surface of the climbing plate 15 is a flat end surface higher than the bottom support plate 16, during the whole process of the bottle 5 passing through the capping passage 12 along the flat end surface of the climbing plate 15, the bottle 6 will be lifted up as a whole to make the bottle cap 4 press upward against the capping plate 7. The capping plate 7 can always press the bottle cap 4 downward under the elastic force of the compression spring 83 during the whole process of the bottle 5 passing through the capping passage 12, so as to prevent the bottle cap 4 from falling off the bottle mouth during the capping process by the capping unit.

[0029] When the mouth of the bottle 5 with the bottle cap 4 hanging thereon passes through the capping passage 12 of the capping unit, the bottle cap 4 will first pass through and contact the reverse capping strip 13 of the capping unit. In the process of the bottle cap 4 passing through and contacting the reverse capping strip 13, the bottle cap 4 will be subjected to the friction force of the reverse capping strip 13 and will make a short reverse rotation, so that the thread buckle point of the bottle cap can be completely staggered with the thread entrance of the bottle mouth of the bottle 5, so that the bottle cap can be accurately sleeved on the bottle mouth without being damaged; then the bottle cap 4 will pass through and contact the forward capping strip 14 of the capping unit again. In the process of the bottle cap 4 passing through and contacting the forward capping strip 14, the bottle cap 4 will be subjected to the friction force of the forward capping strip 14 and will make a short forward rotation, so that the bottle cap 4 is slightly tightened on the bottle mouth of the bottle 5, completing the pre-tightening operation of the bottle cap 4; then the bottle moving machine will send the bottle after pre-tightening to the capping machine for tightening, thereby achieving higher capping quality requirements.

[0030] The advantages of the present invention are: (1) simple structure, purely mechanical mechanism, easy to manufacture, install and maintain; (2) simple structure of the capping unit, which can make the bottle cap hang on the bottle mouth accurately and quickly; (3) before the bottle enters the capping machine, the bottle cap is first reversely capped by the reverse capping strip in the capping unit, so that the threaded buckle point of the bottle cap and the threaded entrance of the bottle mouth are staggered, so that the bottle cap is accurately covered on the bottle mouth without being damaged, and then the bottle cap is forwardly capped by the forward capping strip, so that the bottle cap is slightly pre-tightened on the bottle mouth, thereby achieving higher capping quality requirements; (3) the forward capping strip and the reverse capping strip are easy to replace, the cost is relatively low, and the use cost is low.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any other form of limitation to the present invention. Any modification or equivalent change made based on the technical essence of the present invention still falls within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
