Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lid assembly technology, and more specifically to a lid precision assembly and pressing mechanism for a lid assembly machine. Background Technology
[0002] The main functions of a lid include shielding from dust and contaminants, sealing, preventing tampering, and providing security. A lid can cover the top of a container or open item to prevent dust and contaminants from entering and to keep the interior clean. In food and beverage packaging, bottle caps have the property of keeping the contents sealed to prevent contamination or spoilage, while also providing tamper-proof and security protection.
[0003] In the traditional cap assembly process, the caps need to be transported to the gripping position by a precise feeding device, and then the caps are gripped and transferred by a robotic arm for spin-forming installation. This assembly method is usually used for smaller bottle cap assembly work. For larger cap assembly work, the uniform feeding and gripping of caps requires larger feeding devices and robotic arms, which increases production costs. In addition, larger caps have relatively higher quality and require higher stability from the robotic arm, making it difficult to adapt to the assembly work of larger caps. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a precise cap assembly and pressing mechanism for a cap assembly machine. This mechanism effectively solves the problem that, for larger cap assembly tasks, uniform loading and gripping of caps requires larger-sized loading equipment and robotic arms, increasing production costs. Furthermore, larger caps have relatively higher weight, placing greater demands on the stability of robotic arms, making them unsuitable for assembling larger caps.
[0006] Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] This invention provides a cap precision assembly and pressing mechanism for a cap assembly machine, comprising:
[0009] The base is fixedly installed on the container feeding mechanism of the lid assembly machine, and a side plate A is fixedly provided on the top of the base;
[0010] A receiving component is rotatably disposed between two side plates A. When the opening of the receiving component is tilted upward, it is aligned with the feeding plate and is used to receive the lid body output by the feeding plate. When the receiving component is rotated to a horizontal state, it drives the lid body to be vertically aligned with the container below.
[0011] A spinning assembly, located at the top of side plate A, is used to spin the cover body inside the receiving assembly;
[0012] The spinning assembly includes a spinning head for spinning the cover body, a lifting plate for driving the spinning head to rise and fall, and a motor for driving the spinning head to rotate. The motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting plate, and the lifting plate is slidably mounted on the top of the side plate A via a sliding column. The lifting plate is connected to the lifting drive device of the cover assembly machine.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning clamp, which is symmetrically arranged inside the base. The positioning clamp is driven by an external force to clamp the container and is used to vertically align the container conveyed by the container feeding mechanism with the spinning head.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a support plate, which is fixed to the outside of the ring. The ring is located above the container positioned by the positioning clamp and is coaxial with the container. The ring moves downward under the downward rotational force of the lid body and automatically resets after assembly due to the bottom elastic force.
[0015] Furthermore, the receiving component includes a top plate rotatably disposed between the side plates A, a V-shaped plate fixedly disposed at the bottom of the top plate for positioning the cover body, and a bottom plate slidably disposed at the bottom of the V-shaped plate;
[0016] The bottom plate slides as the top plate rotates, allowing the bottom of the receiving component to be closed and opened in both receiving and spinning states.
[0017] Furthermore, a sliding shaft A is fixedly provided at the bottom of the base plate, and both ends of the sliding shaft A are slidably disposed inside the side plate A. A limiting hole for slidingly installing the sliding shaft A is provided inside the side plate A, and the sliding shaft A is driven by an external force to slide along the limiting hole.
[0018] Furthermore, the receiving component also includes a cover sleeve that cooperates with the top of the cover body. A sliding shaft B is fixedly provided on the top of the cover sleeve. The sliding shaft B is slidably disposed inside the top plate. A connecting post is fixedly provided on the top of the sliding shaft B. The connecting post cooperates with the spinning head. The connecting post rotates and presses down under the drive of the spinning head.
[0019] Furthermore, a cover plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the side plate A, and a magnet is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cover plate for adsorbing the connecting column in the material receiving state.
[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the cover sleeve is provided with a mating groove that matches the cover body, and the inner side of the mating groove is provided with an inclined surface; a boss is fixedly provided on the outer side of the cover sleeve, and a stop is slidably provided on the inner side of the boss. The stop is distributed in a ring array and is used to cooperate with the protruding structure on the outer side of the cover body during spinning.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes positioning posts, which are rotatably disposed on the outside of the V-shaped plate. Side holes are provided on both sides of the V-shaped plate corresponding to the positioning posts, and the outside of the positioning posts is provided with cut surfaces.
[0022] The positioning post is used to position the cover body inside the V-shaped plate. The cut surface is located at the top of the positioning post in the receiving state, and is driven by external force to rotate to the outside of the cover body in the spinning state.
[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a clamping assembly for clamping the cover body inside the V-shaped plate. The clamping assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the outside of the top plate and a vertical rod for driving the rotating shaft to rotate. The vertical rod is slidably disposed on the outside of the top plate along the axial direction, and a clamping rod is fixedly disposed on the outside of the rotating shaft.
[0024] The vertical rod is driven to rotate by the pressure plate, and the shaft is automatically reset by the torque.
[0025] Beneficial effects
[0026] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0027] This invention features a receiving component that receives the lid body. The receiving component, via a V-shaped plate, limits the lid body's position, automatically horizontally positioning it when the lid body rotates to a horizontal state. At this point, the lid body is coaxially aligned with the container below, ensuring accurate subsequent assembly. This eliminates the need for a precise lid loading device and a robotic arm, reducing production costs. Furthermore, taking advantage of the lid body's large size and mass, during the receiving process, the tilted receiving component moves the connecting post closer to the magnet, causing the magnet to attract the connecting post and move the lid away from the bottom. The plate prevents interference with the entry of the cover body. After receiving the material and adjusting it to a horizontal position, the receiving component drives the connecting column to disengage from the magnet. At this time, the connecting column drives the cover sleeve to automatically fall on the top of the cover body to achieve automatic alignment. The cover body is positioned horizontally and vertically by the V-shaped plate and the cover sleeve, ensuring the accuracy of the pressing assembly. Furthermore, the stop on the outside of the cover sleeve cooperates with the protruding structure on the outside of the cover body to apply a stable torque to the cover body during the spinning process. In the vertical direction, the positioning of the cover sleeve and the support of the ring ensure stability during the pressing process, which is convenient for assembling larger covers.

[0066] The principle and advantages of the cap precision assembly and pressing mechanism in a cap assembly machine:
[0067] First, in the receiving state, the pneumatic push rod 271 pushes the sliding shaft A27 to slide along the limiting hole 16, causing the sliding shaft A27 to drive the base plate 26 to slide between the base frame 24 and the V-shaped plate 22. Simultaneously, as the angle of the limiting hole 16 changes, the sliding shaft A27 drives the base frame 24 to rotate via the bottom rotating component 25, facilitating the alignment of the opening of the receiving assembly 2 with the unloading plate 200. Then, each cover body 100 is individually unloaded through the unloading plate 200. The output cover body 100 falls into the interior of the receiving assembly 2 in a downward inclined direction. At this time, the V-shaped plate 22 inside the receiving assembly 2 corrects and positions the cover body 100. Meanwhile, the connecting post 210 at the top of the receiving assembly 2 is aligned with the magnet 13. Under the adsorption effect, the cover sleeve 29 is moved away from the bottom plate 26, preventing the cover sleeve 29 from obstructing the cover body 100 from entering the inner side of the V-shaped plate 22. It is worth noting that during the receiving process, the vertical rod 47 in the pressing assembly 4 is pressed by the pressure plate 15 and is in a downward sliding state, so that the vertical rod 47 is pressed by the ball A48 to rotate the arc block 46, thereby causing the arc block 46 to drive the pressing rod 43 on the outside of the bushing 42 to be located at the opening of the receiving assembly 2. At this time, the torsion spring 45 forms a torque on the bushing 42, preventing the pressing rod 43 from being in a clamped state and obstructing the cover body 100 from entering the inner side of the V-shaped plate 22. Furthermore, the positioning post 7 on the outside of the V-shaped plate 22 positions the cover body 100 to prevent friction with the V-shaped plate 22 during subsequent pressing.
[0068] After receiving the material, the pneumatic push rod 271 drives the bottom frame 24 to rotate downwards to a horizontal position, and simultaneously drives the bottom plate 26 to slide to one side, so that when the receiving component 2 is in a horizontal position, the bottom plate 26 is in an open position relative to the bottom of the receiving component 2. When the receiving component 2 rotates downwards and causes the connecting post 210 to disengage from the magnet 13, the cover 29 automatically falls onto the top of the cover body 100. At this time, the matching groove 291 at the bottom of the cover 29 cooperates with the cover body 100 to vertically position the cover body 100. Furthermore, because the cover body 100 is relatively large, its outer protruding structure is quite prominent. When the cover 29 falls, it causes the outer stop 212 to be positioned on the cover body 100. On the outside of 0, and so that the stop 212 is located between two adjacent protruding structures on the outside of the cover body 100. In order to better match the stop 212 with the protruding structure, the stop 212 is selected as a plate or rod with a V-shaped bottom; and the receiving component 2 drives the vertical rod 47 away from the pressure plate 15, releases the pressure on the vertical rod 47, and releases the pressure on the arc block 46 by the vertical rod 47. At this time, the bushing 42 is rotated by the torque applied by the torsion spring 45, which drives the outer clamping rod 43 to automatically rotate from the opening of the receiving component 2 to the inside, thereby clamping the cover body 100, improving the stability of the cover body 100 after positioning, and preventing the cover body 100 from falling off after the bottom plate 26 is opened.
[0069] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned receiving method has the following advantages:
[0070] Advantage 1: The receiving component 2, which is set at an angle, receives the lid body 100. The receiving component 2 limits the lid body 100 through the V-shaped plate 22. When the receiving component 2 drives the lid body 100 to rotate to a horizontal state, it automatically positions the lid body 100 horizontally. At this time, the lid body 100 is coaxially aligned with the container below to ensure the accuracy of subsequent assembly.
[0071] Secondly, during the receiving process, the bottom plate 26 located at the bottom of the V-shaped plate 22 is in a closed state to ensure that the cover body 100 can smoothly enter the inner side of the V-shaped plate 22. When the V-shaped plate 22 and the cover body 100 rotate to a horizontal state, the bottom plate 26 automatically slides to one side during the rotation to open the bottom of the V-shaped plate 22, so as to facilitate the subsequent pressing and assembly work.
[0072] Thirdly, when adjusting the receiving state, the tilted receiving component 2 drives the connecting column 210 to move closer to the magnet 13, so that the magnet 13 attracts the connecting column 210, and keeps the cover 29 away from the base plate 26, preventing it from affecting the entry of the cover body 100. After receiving the material, when the receiving component is adjusted to a horizontal state, the receiving component 2 drives the connecting column 210 to disengage from the magnet 13. At this time, the connecting column 210 drives the cover 29 to automatically fall on the top of the cover body 100 to achieve automatic alignment, so that the cover body 100 is positioned horizontally and vertically by the V-shaped plate 22 and the cover 29, ensuring the accuracy of the press-in assembly.
[0073] Fourthly, in order to ensure the fitting accuracy between the cover sleeve 29 and the cover body 100, and to enable the connecting post 210 to move the cover sleeve 29 under the attraction of the magnet 13, a ball bearing is provided between the sliding shaft B28 and the top plate 21 for sliding assembly. This reduces the resistance of the sliding shaft B28 in axial and circumferential movement, and achieves a precise fit between the cover sleeve 29 and the cover body 100.
[0074] Fifthly, by setting the clamping rod 43, it can automatically be positioned at the opening of the receiving component 2 when receiving materials, preventing it from affecting the feeding of the cover body 100. During the process of adjusting to a horizontal state after receiving materials, the clamping rod 43 is subjected to torque and automatically clamps the cover body 100 on the inner side of the V-shaped plate 22 to ensure the stability of the cover body 100 after horizontal positioning.
[0075] In this application, the spinning component 3 in the cap assembly machine's precise cap assembly pressing mechanism, when pressing into the cap body 100, drives the lifting plate 32 downward via the lifting drive mechanism of the cap assembly machine. Simultaneously, the motor 33 at the top of the lifting plate 32 drives the spinning head 31 to rotate, causing the spinning head 31 to gradually approach the connecting post 210. When the V-shaped block 312 on the inner side of the spinning head 31 engages with the V-shaped groove 211 on the outer side of the connecting post 210, the spinning head 31, driven by the motor 33, drives the connecting post 210 to rotate, causing the connecting post 210 to move downward. The connecting post 210 drives the cover body 100 to rotate through the cover sleeve 29. When the stop 212 on the outside of the cover sleeve 29 does not contact the protruding structure on the outside of the cover body 100 during circumferential rotation, relative sliding may occur between the cover sleeve 29 and the cover body 100. Since the cover body 100 is always located inside the cover sleeve 29, it does not affect the positioning accuracy of the cover body 100. When the stop 212 falls between two adjacent protruding structures and abuts against the outside of the protruding structure, it begins to drive the cover body 100 to rotate stably.
[0076] It is worth noting that before the spinning head 31 engages with the connecting post 210, the motor 73 drives the positioning posts 7 on both sides of the V-shaped plate 22 to rotate through the gear transmission box 74. This causes the positioning posts 7 to move the cover body 100 downwards and onto the top of the support plate 6. During the descent, the cover sleeve 29 remains attached to the top of the cover body 100 by gravity. The clamping force generated by the clamping rod 43 located on the outside of the cover body 100 is insufficient to push the cover body 100 at the bottom of the cover sleeve 29 horizontally. Consequently, the support plate 6 provides vertical support to the cover body 100 through the ring 61. At this time, the positioning post 7 drives the outer tangent 71 to rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state, releasing the positioning effect on the cover body 100 and preventing friction between the cover body 100 and the V-shaped plate 22 and positioning posts 7 during the subsequent spinning process, which would affect stability.
[0077] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned spinning method has the following advantages:
[0078] Advantage 1: Before spinning, the lid body 100 is horizontally positioned by the positioning posts 7 on both sides of the V-shaped plate 22. When spinning begins, the lid body 100 is moved downward by rotating the positioning posts 7. Without affecting the positioning accuracy of the lid body 100, the outer surface 71 of the positioning posts 7 is rotated to the outer side of the lid body 100, releasing the horizontal positioning of the lid body 100 and preventing friction between the lid body 100 and the positioning posts 7 during spinning.
[0079] Secondly, the clamping rod 43 located on the outside of the lid body 100 ensures the horizontal stability of the lid body 100 before screwing. Although it is close to the outside of the lid body 100 during screwing, the clamping rod 43 can rotate under the force of the lid body 100, which will not affect the assembly of the lid body 100.
[0080] Thirdly, when the positioning post 7 moves the cover body 100 downward, the cover body 100 can be placed on top of the ring 61 for support. The ring 61 and the cover sleeve 29 achieve precise positioning of the cover body 100. Based on this, the cover body 100 is spun and assembled, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the cover body 100.
