Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wine bottle packaging equipment, and in particular relates to an integrated installation device for a wine bottle rubber cap and a streamer. Background Art

[0002] Some expensive wine bottles are often tied with an anti-counterfeiting tape, such as a red ribbon, to achieve anti-counterfeiting and decorative effects. After the anti-counterfeiting tape is tied, the two ends of the tape need to be aligned and folded over the bottle cap, and then a rubber cap is placed on the bottle cap, so that the part of the anti-counterfeiting tape exposed on the rubber cap fits well and is not easy to separate, and the length is more consistent, which improves the aesthetics.

[0003] The existing methods of knotting the anti-counterfeiting bands and installing the rubber caps on wine bottles are mainly performed manually. There are also some simple devices that assist manual knotting, but they only help move the wine bottles before and after knotting.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the process of knotting and placing the rubber cap is mainly done manually, which has the defects of low knotting efficiency, difficulty in unifying the packaging of anti-counterfeiting tapes, and excessively high labor costs.

[0005] A Chinese patent with application number CN202111295743.2 discloses an automated wine bottle ribbon knotting and rubber cap installation system, including a working part and a bottle clamping device, the bottle clamping device including a fixed arc block arranged in the working part, a clamping power source arranged in the working part, and a moving arc block arranged between the fixed arc block and the clamping power source and moved toward the fixed arc block under the drive of the clamping power source to clamp the bottle.

[0006] With further research by the applicant, it was found that due to the defective structural design of the fixed arc block used in the clamping device of the technical solution, when replacing the packaging of wine bottles of different models and sizes, after the new wine bottles are clamped and fixed, the axis of the wine bottles is offset from the original reference axis setting position, resulting in empty packaging during the installation of rubber caps and ribbons.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, a wine bottle cap and ribbon integrated installation device of the present invention comprises a working part 1. In this embodiment, the working part 1 is schematically illustrated by only a flat plate. A belt feeding device 30 for releasing the ribbon 2 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the working part 1, a bottle clamping device 4 provided on the working part 1 and positioning the wine bottle 5, a manipulator 31 provided on one side of the working part 1 and driving one end of the ribbon 2 to move, and a belt knotting device 32 provided on the working part 1 and causing the ribbon 2 clamped by the manipulator 31 to move along a predetermined path to form a predetermined shape so that the ribbon 2 is knotted at the bottle cap. The manipulator 31 can drive the wine bottle 5 to enter or leave the bottle clamping device 4;

[0033] The manipulator 31 can also drive the rubber cap 50 to move so that the rubber cap 50 is fitted and sealed corresponding to the bottle cap;

[0034] The bottle clamping device 4 includes an arc-shaped clamping block 40 arranged in pairs at the upper end of the working part 1, a frame 41 and a connecting rod mechanism 44 arranged at the lower end of the working part 1, a sliding plate 42 is slidably connected to both sides of the frame 41, the arc-shaped clamping block 40 is connected to the sliding plate 42, and a power member 43 is arranged on the frame 41;

[0035] Under the action of the power member 43, the connecting rod mechanism 44 forces the sliding plate 42 to drive the arc-shaped clamping blocks 40 to move closer to or away from each other, and to clamp or release the wine bottle 5 in the center.

[0036] In the present invention, the robot 31 can fit the circumferential surface of the wine bottle 5 to the inner side of the arc-shaped clamping block 40, so that the placement position of the wine bottle 5 is not prone to large deviation each time, and the wine bottle 5 is not prone to shaking during the installation of the rubber cap 50 and the ribbon 2.

[0037] Specifically, the connecting rod mechanism 44 includes a rotating rod 440 arranged between the two sliding plates 42 and rotatably connected to the frame 41, and a swing rod 441 arranged in pairs.
