Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bottle cap production equipment, in particular to a bottle cap production feeding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A bottle cap refers to the closed part at the top of a bottle, usually made of metal, plastic or other materials, and is used to seal the contents of the bottle to prevent leakage or contamination. Bottle caps come in a variety of types and shapes, depending on the purpose of the bottle and the nature of the contents.

[0003] When bottle caps are produced, they need to be stacked in a uniform direction and then filled with sealing rings. However, the existing device cannot stack them in one direction when loading and stacking, resulting in reduced efficiency in subsequent processing. This problem needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a feeding mechanism for bottle cap production to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a feeding mechanism for bottle cap production, comprising a supporting base, a driving mechanism, an auxiliary mechanism and a feeding mechanism, wherein a working box is fixedly connected to the front of the supporting base, a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the working box, and a discharging pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the working box.

[0006] Wherein, the driving mechanism comprises:

[0007] A protective box is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom back of the working box, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective box, the motor has an output shaft, a gear plate is fixedly connected to the motor output shaft, a gear ring is meshed on the front of the gear plate, a moving ring is fixedly connected to the front of the gear ring, blocks are distributed in a ring shape on the outside of the moving ring, and the blocks are fixedly connected to the outside of the moving ring, and fixed grooves are arranged between multiple blocks on the outside of the moving ring.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the unloading mechanism includes a fixed column, a unloading disc and a guide unloading pipe. The fixed column is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the working box, the unloading disc is fixedly connected to the back side of the fixed column, and the guide unloading pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the unloading disc.

[0009] According to the above technical scheme, the auxiliary mechanism includes a connecting rotating rod, bevel gear one, bevel gear two, a rotating rod, an elliptical disc, a fixed plate, a spring, a knocking frame and an extrusion frame. The connecting rotating rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the gear disc, the bevel gear one is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rotating rod, the bevel gear two is meshed with the front face of the bevel gear one, the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the front face of the bevel gear two, the elliptical disc is fixedly connected to the front face of the rotating rod, the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the left side inside the unloading disc, the spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate, the knocking frame is fixedly connected to the right end of the spring, and the extrusion frame is fixedly connected to the back side of the knocking frame.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the fixing groove is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the fed bottle caps, and the outer diameter of the top of the clamping block is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the fed bottle caps, so that the bottle caps can be classified and fixed when in contact with the moving ring.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, a rectangular groove is opened in the middle of the bottom of the back side of the working box, the front side of the gear disk passes through the rectangular groove and extends into the working box to engage with the gear ring, the inner ring of the movable ring is in contact with the outer wall of the unloading disc, and the movable ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the unloading disc, so that the movable ring can rotate on the outside of the unloading disc.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, circular feeding grooves are provided in the middle of the top and bottom of the feeding disc, and the circular feeding grooves are connected with the guide feeding pipe. By providing the circular feeding grooves, the bottle caps can fall directly through the circular feeding grooves.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the front end of the rotating rod passes through the back of the working box and the back of the unloading disc and extends into the unloading disc and is fixedly connected to the elliptical disc. The back and front of the fixed plate are respectively fixedly connected to the front and back of the unloading disc, so that the fixed plate can be fixed.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: when the bottle caps need to be stacked in the same direction, the bottle caps are placed in the feed tube, and the bottle caps in the feed tube are moved into the working box and contacted with the outer side of the moving ring, and when the bottle cap opening contacts the block on the outer side of the moving ring downward, the bottle cap can be directly stuck on the outer side of the block, and when contacting the fixed groove, the bottle cap opening contacts the outer side of the fixed groove, and the outer side of the fixed groove cannot fit with the bottle cap, resulting in the fixed groove being unable to clamp the bottle cap, so the bottle cap cannot enter the fixed groove when contacting the fixed groove, and the bottle cap with the opening upward directly falls on the inner circle of the fixed groove when contacting the fixed groove, so that the bottle cap can be arranged on the outer side of the moving ring in both opening states, and when the bottle cap with the opening downward moves to the bottom of the working box as the moving ring rotates, the bottle cap with the opening downward becomes opened upward, and directly falls through the discharge pipe arranged at the bottom of the working box, so that the bottle cap can be discharged with the opening upward;

[0015] When the bottle cap with the opening facing upward rotates with the moving ring, the bottle cap moves to the guide discharge pipe, so that the bottle cap directly falls downward through the guide discharge pipe. When the moving ring rotates until the fixed groove is connected with the bottom of the guide discharge pipe, the bottle cap falls through the discharge pipe. At this time, the opening direction of the bottle cap is still facing upward, so that the device can uniformly adjust the opening direction of the bottle cap when in use;

[0016] When it is necessary to drive the moving ring to rotate, the motor is controlled to work, and when the motor is working, the gear plate is driven to rotate, so that the gear ring meshed on the front of the gear plate rotates, and at the same time, the moving ring on the front of the gear ring rotates accordingly, and rotates in contact with the outside of the unloading disc, so that the moving ring can rotate on the outside of the unloading disc, and the unloading disc is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working box through a fixed column, and the unloading disc is in a static fixed state and cannot rotate;

[0017] When the motor is working, the gear plate rotates and drives the bevel gear 1 on the top connecting rotating rod to rotate. When the bevel gear 1 rotates, the bevel gear 2 meshing with it rotates, and synchronously drives the elliptical disk on the rotating rod on the front side of the bevel gear 2 to rotate. When the elliptical disk rotates, the extrusion frame is squeezed to compress the spring. When the elliptical disk separates from the extrusion frame, the spring elasticity is restored, so that the knocking frame knocks on the outside of the guide discharge tube, which can make the bottle caps in the guide discharge tube fall more smoothly and avoid the bottle caps from being blocked in the guide discharge tube.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a feeding mechanism for bottle cap production, including a supporting base 1, a driving mechanism 4, an auxiliary mechanism 5 and a feeding mechanism 6. The front of the supporting base 1 is fixedly connected to a working box 2, the left side of the working box 2 is fixedly connected to a feeding pipe 3, and the middle of the bottom of the working box 2 is fixedly connected to a discharging pipe 7.

[0029] Wherein, the driving mechanism 4 comprises:

[0030] A protection box 401 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom back of the working box 2, a motor 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the protection box 401, the motor 402 has an output shaft, a gear plate 403 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 402, a gear ring 404 is meshed on the front side of the gear plate 403, a moving ring 405 is fixedly connected to the front side of the gear ring 404, blocks 406 are distributed in a ring shape on the outside of the moving ring 405, and the blocks 406 are fixedly connected to the outside of the moving ring 405, and fixing grooves 407 are provided on the outside of the moving ring 405 between multiple blocks 406.

[0031] The unloading mechanism 6 includes a fixed column 601, a unloading disc 602 and a guide unloading pipe 603. The fixed column 601 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the working box 2, the unloading disc 602 is fixedly connected to the back side of the fixed column 601, and the guide unloading pipe 603 is fixedly connected to the middle of the unloading disc 602.

[0032] The inner diameter of the fixing groove 407 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bottle caps being fed, and the outer diameter of the top of the clamping block 406 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle caps being fed, so that the bottle caps can be classified and fixed when they contact the moving ring 405.

[0033] A rectangular groove is provided in the middle of the bottom back side of the working box 2, the front side of the gear plate 403 passes through the rectangular groove and extends into the working box 2 to mesh with the gear ring 404, the inner ring of the moving ring 405 contacts the outer wall of the unloading disc 602, and the moving ring 405 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the unloading disc 602, so that the moving ring 405 can rotate on the outside of the unloading disc 602.

[0034] A feeding circular groove is provided at the top and the middle of the bottom of the feeding disc 602, and the feeding circular groove is connected with the guide feeding tube 603. By providing the feeding circular groove, the bottle cap can drop directly through the feeding circular groove.

[0035] When the bottle caps need to be stacked in the same direction, the bottle caps are placed in the feed tube 3, and the bottle caps in the feed tube 3 are moved into the working box 2 to contact the outer side of the moving ring 405. When the opening of the bottle caps touches the clamping block 406 on the outer side of the moving ring 405 downward, the bottle caps can be directly clamped on the outer side of the clamping block 406. When contacting the fixed groove 407, the opening of the bottle caps touches the outer side of the fixed groove 407, and the outer side of the fixed groove 407 cannot fit with the bottle caps, resulting in the fixed groove 407 being unable to clamp the bottle caps. When the bottle cap with the opening downwards is in contact with the fixed groove 407, it cannot enter the fixed groove 407, and when the bottle cap with the opening upwards is in contact with the fixed groove 407, the bottle cap directly falls on the inner circle of the fixed groove 407, so that the bottle cap can be arranged on the outside of the movable ring 405 in both opening states. When the bottle cap with the opening downwards is moved to the bottom of the working box 2 as the movable ring 405 rotates, the bottle cap with the opening downwards becomes the opening upwards, and falls directly through the discharge pipe 7 arranged at the bottom of the working box 2, so that the bottle cap can be discharged with the opening upwards.

[0036] When the bottle cap with the opening upward rotates with the moving ring 405, the bottle cap moves to the guide discharge pipe 603, so that the bottle cap falls downward directly through the guide discharge pipe 603. When the moving ring 405 rotates until the fixed groove 407 is connected with the bottom of the guide discharge pipe 603, the bottle cap falls through the discharge pipe 7. At this time, the opening direction of the bottle cap is still upward, so that the device can uniformly adjust the opening direction of the bottle cap when in use.

[0037] When it is necessary to drive the moving ring 405 to rotate, the motor 402 is controlled to work. When the motor 402 is working, it drives the gear plate 403 to rotate, so that the gear ring 404 engaged on the front side of the gear plate 403 rotates, and at the same time, the moving ring 405 on the front side of the gear ring 404 rotates accordingly, and rotates in contact with the outside of the unloading disc 602, so that the moving ring 405 can rotate on the outside of the unloading disc 602, and the unloading disc 602 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working box 2 by the fixing column 601, and the unloading disc 602 is in a static fixed state and cannot rotate.

[0038] See also Figure 5-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: the auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a connecting rod 501, a bevel gear 1 502, a bevel gear 2 503, a rotating rod 504, an elliptical disc 505, a fixed plate 506, a spring 507, a knocking frame 508 and an extrusion frame 509, the connecting rod 501 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the gear disk 403, the bevel gear 1 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 501, the bevel gear 2 503 is meshed with the front of the bevel gear 1 502, the rotating rod 504 is fixedly connected to the front of the bevel gear 2 503, the elliptical disc 505 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating rod 504, the fixed plate 506 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the unloading disc 602, the spring 507 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate 506, the knocking frame 508 is fixedly connected to the right end of the spring 507, and the extrusion frame 509 is fixedly connected to the back of the knocking frame 508.

[0039] The front end of the rotating rod 504 passes through the back of the working box 2 and the back of the unloading disc 602 and extends into the unloading disc 602 to be fixedly connected to the elliptical disc 505. The back and front of the fixed plate 506 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and back of the unloading disc 602, so that the fixed plate 506 can be fixed.

[0040] When the motor 402 is working, the gear plate 403 rotates and drives the bevel gear 1 502 on the top connecting rod 501 to rotate. When the bevel gear 1 502 rotates, the bevel gear 2 503 meshing with it rotates, and synchronously drives the elliptical disk 505 on the rotating rod 504 on the front side of the bevel gear 2 503 to rotate. When the elliptical disk 505 rotates, the extrusion frame 509 is squeezed to compress the spring 507. When the elliptical disk 505 separates from the extrusion frame 509, the spring 507 recovers elastically, so that the knocking frame 508 knocks on the outside of the guide discharge pipe 603, which can make the bottle caps in the guide discharge pipe 603 fall more smoothly and avoid the bottle caps from being blocked in the guide discharge pipe 603.
