Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of paint bucket cap removal, specifically relating to a plastic paint bucket cap removal device. Background Technology
[0002] Paint buckets are containers used for storing and transporting paint. They are typically made of plastic, metal, or other durable materials to ensure the safety of the paint during storage and transportation.
[0003] Currently, when opening the lid of a plastic paint bucket, workers first insert a screwdriver into the rubber strip under the lid, then use the screwdriver to widen the gap between the rubber strip and the paint bucket. Next, another screwdriver is inserted into the gap, and the paint bucket is pried and rotated simultaneously until the lid is removed. This method of using screwdrivers to remove paint bucket lids is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a plastic paint bucket lid removal device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problem that workers currently use screwdrivers to remove paint bucket lids, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient, this invention provides a plastic paint bucket lid removal device.
[0006] The solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a plastic paint bucket cap removal device, including a base, a column, a support cover, a rotating disk and a cap removal mechanism, wherein the support cover is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and the rotating disk is rotatably installed on the top of the support cover, the top of which is used to place the paint bucket. The column is installed on the top of the base and located on one side of the rotating disk. A sliding sleeve that can slide up and down is fitted on the column. The sliding sleeve and the column are detachably connected by a fastener. A mounting base is installed on the side of the sliding sleeve. The cap removal mechanism includes a fixed arm, a movable arm, and an electric push rod. One end of the fixed arm is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base, and the other end is slidably equipped with a strip-breaking shovel. An internal hydraulic rod is installed between the inner end of the strip-breaking shovel and the right side of the inner wall of the fixed arm, and a hook is integrally connected to the outer end of the shovel. The movable arm is tilted below the fixed arm, and its lower end is hinged to the mounting base. A cover removal rod is slidably installed at the upper end of the movable arm, and a built-in hydraulic rod is installed between the lower end of the cover removal rod and the bottom of the movable arm. The electric actuator is hinged between the movable arm and the mounting base.
[0007] Preferably, three wheels are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, and the three wheels are arranged in a triangle.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the rotating disk is provided with four sets of placement slots, each set having at least two slots. Each placement slot is provided with a removable arc-shaped clamp, and the four arc-shaped clamps contact the four sides of the paint bucket respectively.
[0009] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk, and a bearing is fitted at the bottom end of the rotating shaft. The bearing is installed on the top of the support cover.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a drive assembly, which is installed inside the support cover and is capable of driving the shaft to rotate.
[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor and a driven bevel gear mounted on the bottom of the shaft. The drive motor is mounted on the top of the base, and a main bevel gear is mounted on its output shaft. The main bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution for a plastic paint bucket cap removal device: Example 1: according to Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a column 31, a support cover 7, a rotating disk 8, and a cover removal mechanism. Three wheels 10 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base 1. The three wheels 10 are arranged in a triangle. By setting the wheels 10, the device can be moved easily.
[0023] The support cover 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The bottom of the rotating disk 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 24. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 24 is fitted with a bearing. The bearing is installed on the top of the support cover 7. The rotating shaft 24 is supported by the bearing, so that the rotating disk 8 can rotate stably. The top of the rotating disk 8 is used to place the paint bucket.
[0024] The column 31 is installed on the top of the base 1 and located on one side of the rotating disk 8. A sliding sleeve 32 that can slide up and down is fitted on the column 31. The column 31 has multiple threaded grooves 33, and the sliding sleeve 32 has threaded holes. The sliding sleeve 32 and the column 31 are detachably connected by a fixing component, which is a positioning screw 34. The positioning screw 34 passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded groove 33. The position of the sliding sleeve 32 is fixed by the positioning screw 34 to ensure that the sliding sleeve 32 will not slide during use. A mounting base 5 is installed on the side of the sliding sleeve 32.
[0025] The cap removal mechanism includes a fixed arm 61, a movable arm 43, and an electric push rod 41. One end of the fixed arm 61 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base 5, and the other end is slidably equipped with a strip-breaking scraper 62. An internal hydraulic rod 64 is installed between the inner end of the strip-breaking scraper 62 and the right side of the inner wall of the fixed arm 61. A hook 63 is integrally connected to the outer end of the scraper. By controlling the extension of the internal hydraulic rod 64, the strip-breaking scraper 62 is inserted into the interface rubber strip. By controlling the retraction of the internal hydraulic rod 64 again, the hook 63 hooks the interface rubber strip, thereby widening the gap between the interface rubber strip and the paint bucket.
[0026] The movable arm 43 is inclinedly positioned below the fixed arm 61, and its lower end is hinged to the fixed ear 46 via a pin. The fixed ear 46 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 5. A cap removal rod 42 is slidably provided on the upper end of the movable arm 43. A built-in hydraulic rod 45 is installed between the lower end of the cap removal rod 42 and the bottom of the movable arm 43. By controlling the extension of the built-in hydraulic rod 45, the cap removal rod 42 is inserted into the gap so that the cap of the paint bucket can be pried open during the subsequent rotation of the paint bucket.
[0027] The two ends of the electric push rod 41 are hinged to two hinge seats 44 respectively through pin 2. The two hinge seats 44 are respectively installed on the movable arm 43 and the mounting seat 5. By controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 41, the tilt angle of the movable arm 43 and the lid removal rod 42 can be adjusted so that the lid removal rod 42 corresponds to the gap of the lid.
[0028] It also includes a drive assembly, which is set inside the support cover 7. The drive assembly includes a drive motor 22 and a driven bevel gear 23 mounted on the bottom of the rotating shaft 24. The drive motor 22 is mounted on the top of the base 1, and a main bevel gear 21 is mounted on its output shaft. The main bevel gear 21 meshes with the driven bevel gear 23. The drive motor 22 drives the main bevel gear 21 to rotate, and the main bevel gear 21 meshes with the driven bevel gear 23, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 24 and the rotating disk 8 to rotate. The rotating disk 8 drives the paint bucket to rotate, and then the cap removal rod 42 gradually pries open the bucket cap until the bucket cap is separated from the paint bucket. This eliminates the need for workers to manually disassemble the paint bucket cap, greatly reducing the workload of workers and improving the efficiency of cap removal.
[0029] In practical use, the plastic paint bucket cap removal device of the present invention first places the uncapped paint bucket on the top of the rotating disk 8 and makes the paint bucket concentric with the rotating disk 8, while making the interface rubber strip correspond to the strip breaking scraper 62. Next, control the extension of the built-in hydraulic rod 64 so that the strip breaking scraper 62 pierces into the interface strip. Then, control the retraction of the built-in hydraulic rod 64 again so that the hook 63 hooks the interface strip and widens the gap between the interface strip and the paint bucket. Then, control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 41 to adjust the tilt angle of the movable arm 43 and the lid removal rod 42 so that the lid removal rod 42 corresponds to the gap of the bucket lid. By controlling the extension of the built-in hydraulic rod 45, the lid removal rod 42 is inserted into the gap. Finally, the drive motor 22 is started, which drives the main bevel gear 21 to rotate. The main bevel gear 21 meshes with the bevel gear 23, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 24 and the rotating disk 8 to rotate. The rotating disk 8 drives the paint bucket to rotate, and then the lid removal rod 42 gradually pries open the lid until the lid is separated from the paint bucket.
[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the rotating disk 8 is surrounded by four sets of placement slots 91. Each set of placement slots 91 has at least two slots, and in this embodiment, each set of placement slots 91 has three slots. By setting multiple placement slots 91, the position of the arc-shaped clamp 92 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the paint bucket, thereby improving the applicability of the device.
[0031] The placement slot 91 is equipped with a pluggable arc-shaped clamp 92. The four arc-shaped clamps 92 contact the four sides of the paint bucket respectively. By placing the paint bucket between the four arc-shaped clamps 92, the paint bucket and the rotating disk 8 are kept concentric, so that the subsequent cap removal mechanism can remove the lid of the bucket.
[0032] Example 3: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple ball bearing rollers 11 are installed around the bottom edge of the rotating disk 8. The ball bearing rollers 11 are in contact with the top of the support cover 7. The ball bearing rollers 11 provide auxiliary support for the rotating disk 8 and improve the stability of the rotating disk 8 during rotation.
