AI Technical Summary
Existing centrifugal flat-plate cap feeders are not ideal in terms of cap feeding efficiency, especially since the ratio of positive to negative caps is 50% each, which cannot meet the needs of high-speed filling.
A lid sorting device was designed, including components such as a cylinder, a turntable, a partition, an air nozzle, and a baffle. The turntable is driven by a motor to rotate, so that the lids circulate between the lid sorting area and the lid screening area. The air nozzle and the baffle arrange the lids in a regular manner and output them. A semi-circular protrusion and the air nozzle are used to tilt and retract the top of the reversed lid, ensuring that the lids are output in a regular arrangement.
It significantly improves the efficiency of lid sorting, ensures that lids are arranged and output in a regular manner, avoids collisions, and improves the overall efficiency of lid sorting and sieving.

[0027] A cap sorting device, likeFigures 1-5 As shown, it comprises a cylinder 1, a cylinder support 18 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder, the cylinder and the motor 2 are bolted on the support, the rotating shaft of the motor extends into the cylinder from the bottom of the cylinder, a rotating disc 3 is arranged in the cylinder and installed on the rotating shaft, a partition plate 6 is arranged above the rotating disc to divide the rotating disc into a cap sorting area 4 and a cap screening area 5. The bottom of one end of the partition plate is provided with a cap inlet 7 for the cap to enter the cap screening area from the cap sorting area, and the bottom of the other end is provided with a backflow port 8 for the cap to return to the cap sorting area from the cap screening area; wherein, one end of the partition plate is fixed on one side of the cylinder by screws or bolts, and the other end is also fixed on the other side of the cylinder by screws or bolts, and a gap is reserved between the bottom of the partition plate and the rotating disc, so that the rotating disc and the partition plate do not interfere with each other when the rotating disc rotates; in addition, the cap sorting area and the cap screening area are separated by the partition plate, which avoids the caps in the cap sorting area from colliding with the caps in the cap screening area, affecting the screening of the caps, thereby improving the efficiency of the screening of the caps; in addition, the partition plate is an arc-shaped partition plate, the curvature of the arc-shaped partition plate matches the curvature of the inner cavity of the cylinder, and the caps on the rotating disc do centrifugal motion and move along the curvature of the arc-shaped partition plate, thereby further improving the efficiency of the screening of the caps.
[0028] A cap outlet channel 9 is arranged on the cylinder at the cap screening area side, a first air nozzle is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder near the inlet of the cap outlet channel to blow the caps upward, and a second air nozzle 10 is arranged on the side to blow the caps inward; a baffle 11 is arranged on the cylinder near the inlet of the cap outlet channel to divide the cap screening area into a first cap screening area 51 and a second cap screening area 52, the first air nozzle, the second air nozzle and the cap inlet are located in the first cap screening area, and the backflow port is located in the second cap screening area, the caps with the cap inlet downward are blown upward by the first air nozzle and the second air nozzle and then blown inward to pass through the baffle and enter the second cap screening area to return to the cap sorting area from the backflow port; a screening hole 12 is arranged near the outlet end of the cap outlet channel, a semicircular protrusion 13 and a third air nozzle 14 are arranged on the screening hole to tilt and blow the caps with the cap inlet downward into the screening hole, as shown in Figure 3 The bottom of the screening hole is provided with a recovery pipeline 15 to send the dropped caps back to the cap sorting area.
[0029] The rotating disc is a conical rotating disc, when the motor drives the conical rotating disc to rotate, the caps do centrifugal motion on the conical rotating disc, and the caps enter the cap screening area from the cap inlet in the cap sorting area, the caps with the cap inlet downward are blown upward by the first air nozzle and the second air nozzle in the first cap screening area of the cap screening area and then blown inward to pass through the baffle and enter the second cap screening area to return to the cap sorting area from the backflow port and then return to the cap screening area, the caps with the cap inlet downward are then tilted and blown into the screening hole by the semicircular protrusion and the third air nozzle on the screening hole near the outlet end of the cap outlet channel, and the caps return to the cap sorting area from the cap screening area through the recovery pipeline, finally the caps with the cap inlet upward are output from the cap outlet channel outlet, thereby the caps in disorder and without regular arrangement can be output with the same regular arrangement, and the efficiency of the cap sorting is greatly improved through repeated cycles of the screening and the cap sorting.
[0030] The baffle is arranged as an arc-shaped baffle, and the arc-shaped baffle back can block the cover into the entrance of the cover outlet channel. In addition, one end of the baffle is fixed on the cylinder by screws or bolts, and a gap is reserved between the bottom of the baffle and the rotating disc, so that the baffle and the rotating disc do not interfere with each other when the rotating disc rotates.

When the cover enters the cover outlet channel and reaches the cover sieve hole, the cover with the cover opening downward is pushed against the cover opening edge at the bottom of the cover by the semicircular protrusion, so as to tilt the cover with the cover opening downward, and then the cover with the cover opening downward is blown into the cover sieve hole by the blowing action of the third air nozzle, and returns to the cover sorting area through the recovery pipeline. The cover with the cover opening upward is smoothly output from the outlet of the cover outlet channel, because the bottom is a flat surface and the semicircular protrusion cannot tilt the cover with the cover opening upward.
[0032] The cover sorting area is provided with a cover pushing plate 16, and a swing rod 17 is installed above the cover pushing plate. One end of the swing rod is fixedly installed on the cylinder, and the other end is connected with the cover pushing plate. The cover pushing plate pushes the cover on the cover sorting area under the action of the swing rod, so that the cover sorting area can be preliminarily sorted, and the efficiency of cover sorting is further improved.
