Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bottle cap processing, in particular to an anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with an NFC chip and a QR code. Background Art

[0002] Bottle caps are widely used in the field of packaging. They are used with various bottles in daily life to seal the bottle mouths.

[0003] In order to prevent counterfeiting, many manufacturers spray QR codes on the surface or inside of bottle caps. QR codes serve as information carriers for the contents, making it easy to access relevant data on the market. QR codes also have a certain anti-counterfeiting effect. However, QR codes are extremely easy to copy and imitate, and their anti-counterfeiting effect is relatively low. Moreover, QR codes are a passive scanning method. Only by scanning the QR code can the information be browsed and read, which is inconvenient for bottle cap users to promote and disseminate information. In order to allow consumers to passively receive information and facilitate manufacturers to promote information, we have designed to implant an NFC chip into the bottle cap, which requires a separate space for placing the NFC chip in the bottle cap. Therefore, this application provides an anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with an NFC chip and a QR code. An NFC chip is installed in the bottle cap to improve the anti-counterfeiting effect and facilitate information dissemination and advertising.

[0004] When processing such bottle caps, a pressing device is required to press the caps together. Existing bottle cap pressing equipment has separate steps for feeding and pressing. Even automatic pressing equipment is not suitable for installing NFC chips. For example, common pressing equipment, such as a common hydraulic press, uses the telescopic cylinder to press the product together. This requires people to first place the top sheet on the top cap before pressing. The operation steps are complicated and waste people's working time. After pressing, people need to remove the finished products one by one, and cannot remove multiple pressed products at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with an NFC chip and a QR code and a processing method thereof, which has the advantages of unifying the discharge and pressing steps, reducing people's operation steps, and can take out multiple finished products at the same time without people taking them out one by one, thereby improving people's convenience. The anti-counterfeiting effect can be improved by associating the NFC chip and the QR code, thereby solving the existing problems.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with an NFC chip and a QR code, comprising a bottle cap body and an NFC chip, the upper end of the bottle cap body being an open structure, the NFC chip being fixedly installed at the opening, a top sheet being installed at the top of the opening, the top sheet being covered at the upper end of the bottle cap body, and the NFC chip being covered in the upper opening of the bottle cap body, a data QR code being sprayed on the inner top of the bottle cap body, a lower cover being provided below the bottle cap body, the lower cover being pressed onto the bottle mouth, and the upper cover being installed together with the lower cover by threads.

[0007] The processing device of the anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with the NFC chip and the QR code includes a support frame, a lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the support frame, the output end of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, a pressing mechanism is provided inside the connecting plate, and a discharge plate is provided at the lower end of the pressing mechanism. The edges of the discharge plate are internally provided with U-shaped grooves, and the number of U-shaped grooves is multiple for people to place bottle caps. The pressing mechanism includes an outer tube arranged at the edges of the connecting plate, an inner tube is provided inside the outer tube, a notch is provided on the inner wall of the lower end of the inner tube, and an eight-shaped plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the outer tube through a rotating shaft. The outer wall of the outer tube is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the bottom of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a hydraulic cylinder, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to a movable ring, a slide groove is provided inside the upper end of the eight-shaped plate, and the bottom of the movable ring is fixedly connected to a first slider, which can slide up and down in the slide groove to change the opening size of the eight-shaped plate, and the pressing processing of the top sheet inside the inner tube is realized according to the opening size of the eight-shaped plate.

[0008] Preferably, baffles are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the inner tube, so as to place the inner tube on the inside of the outer tube.

[0009] Preferably, there are four figure-eight plates, which are arranged in pairs relative to each other in a tilted state to form a figure-eight shape.

[0010] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the top of the discharge disk, the output end of the motor is rotatably connected to a rotating part through a central axis, the top of the rotating part is rotatably connected to a rotating rod through a first connecting shaft, the bottom of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to a toggle block through a second connecting shaft, and a sliding groove is provided on the outer side of the toggle block.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the toggle block is rotatably connected to a clamp claw, a second slider is provided on one side of the clamp claw, and a spring is fixedly connected to an outer surface of one side of the second slider.

[0012] Preferably, there are two clamp claws, one on the left and one on the right, forming a circular ring shape with a notch.

[0013] Preferably, the clamp claws have two states, a tightened state and a released state;

[0014] When tightening, when the toggle block is at the innermost position, it provides pulling force to the jaws, while the inner wall of the U-shaped slot provides blocking force to the jaws, so that the two jaws are in a clamped state. In this state, the spring is compressed;

[0015] When releasing, the toggle block is located at the outermost portion, the clamp claws extend from the U-shaped slot, and the spring provides elastic force to the second slider and the clamp claws, thereby opening the clamp claws.

[0016] The processing method of the anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with the NFC chip and the QR code adopts the processing device of the anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with the NFC chip and the QR code. When processing the bottle cap, the bottle cap body is placed in the U-shaped groove, and the lifting cylinder is started to drive the pressing mechanism to press downward. The top piece inside the inner tube can be dropped out through the cooperation of the eight-shaped plate and the movable ring. After the top piece falls out, it will fit on the bottle cap body. After being subjected to pressure, the bottom of the top piece will be inserted into the opening at the upper end of the bottle cap body, so that the top piece and the bottle cap body are completely fitted together. After pressing, the discharge mechanism inside the discharge tray will push the pressed bottle cap into the collection tray at the lower end of the discharge tray.

[0017] In summary, the present invention includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This associated anti-counterfeiting bottle cap combines an NFC chip and a QR code. The NFC chip can directly connect to external devices, such as mobile phones with NFC functionality, to push information directly to the phone, achieving proactive promotion. The information inside the NFC chip is fixed at the time of production and cannot be changed, eliminating the possibility of counterfeiting, thus achieving a better anti-counterfeiting effect. Furthermore, information can be displayed by scanning the QR code. The information is transmitted through the two information-bearing components, and the two are linked together to achieve a stronger anti-counterfeiting effect.

[0019] The provided pressing mechanism and discharge mechanism can effectively improve people's convenience, and make it more convenient for people to load materials during pressing and unload materials after pressing when processing bottle caps, unify the discharge and pressing steps, reduce people's operation steps, and can take out multiple finished products at the same time without people taking them out one by one, which improves people's convenience, makes the loading and unloading steps coherent, and facilitates people to carry out continuous operations BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] See also Figure 1-11The anti-counterfeiting bottle cap, which is linked to an NFC chip and a QR code, includes a bottle cap body A3 and an NFC chip A2. The NFC chip A2 is mounted on the bottle cap body A3, and a data QR code is sprayed on the top inner surface of the bottle cap body A3. The upper end of the bottle cap body A3 is open, and the NFC chip A2 is fixedly mounted at the opening. A top sheet A1 is mounted on the top of the opening, and the top sheet A1 covers the upper end of the bottle cap body A3, and the NFC chip A2 is covered in the upper end opening of the bottle cap body A3. A lower cover A4 is provided below the bottle cap body A3, and the lower cover A4 is pressed against the bottle mouth. The upper cover A3 is screwed together with the lower cover A4.

[0034] The NFC chip A2 is directly imbued with information during manufacturing, such as anti-counterfeiting information and the winery's cultural promotional information. When it comes into contact with an NFC-enabled smart device, such as an NFC-enabled mobile phone, the NFC chip A2 can directly transmit this information to the phone when it is close to the phone, thereby actively pushing information. Furthermore, the QR code can also be scanned and identified using a mobile phone. The information on the NFC chip A2 is already fixed at the factory and cannot be altered, thus providing a stronger anti-counterfeiting effect.

[0035] During production, the NFC chip sensor and QR code scanner are used to read the information of the NFC chip A2 and the QR code respectively, and the data is transmitted to the computer, and then a signal is given to the associated device. If the computer does not read this set of signals, it will be regarded as a failure, and then an NG signal will be given. The NG device will reject the NG caps after receiving the signal; each group of successfully associated caps will pass the re-inspection test, and the re-inspection will extract the chip data to the associated computer. If the computer does not read this set of signals, it will be regarded as a failure, and then an NG signal will be given and then rejected, ensuring that each group of associated caps are successfully associated, and then flow into the finished product and finally assembled into a combination cap, thereby ensuring that the information of the NFC chip A2 and the QR code are accurate.

[0036] like Figure 11 As shown, the processing procedure of the bottle cap is to receive the processing order, and then start preparing the injection molding materials, QR code application data package and chip for the bottle cap production. On the one hand, the QR code is sprayed on the bottom of the baffle in the bottle cap body A3, and on the other hand, the chip is attached to the top of the baffle. Finally, the other related components of the bottle cap are assembled together. After assembly, the related data of the QR code and the chip will be exported. After the related computer receives the signal, it indicates that the assembly is successful. Otherwise, it needs to be rejected and reworked or scrapped according to demand.

[0037] The processing device of the anti-counterfeiting bottle cap associated with the NFC chip and the QR code includes a support frame 1, a lifting cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the support frame 1, the output end of the lifting cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting disk 3, and a pressing mechanism 4 is provided inside the connecting disk 3; the lifting cylinder 2 can carry the connecting disk 3 for long distance movement.

[0038] The provided pressing mechanism 4 unifies the steps of material discharge and pressing, reduces the number of operating steps and reduces the workload of people.

[0039] The lower end of the pressing mechanism 4 is provided with a discharge tray 5, and the inner part of the edge of the discharge tray 5 is provided with a U-shaped slot 6. There are multiple U-shaped slots 6 for people to place bottle caps. The pressing mechanism 4 includes an outer tube 401 provided at the edge of the connecting plate 3. The inner part of the outer tube 401 is provided with an inner tube 402. The inner wall of the lower end of the inner tube 402 is provided with a notch 404. The inner wall of the lower end of the outer tube 401 is rotatably connected to an eight-shaped plate 405 through a rotating shaft. The outer wall of the outer tube 401 is fixedly connected to The connecting plate 406 has a hydraulic cylinder 407 fixedly connected to its bottom, a movable ring 408 fixedly connected to its output end, a slide groove 410 provided inside the upper end of the splayed plate 405, a first slider 409 fixedly connected to its bottom, and the first slider 409 can slide up and down in the slide groove 410 to change the opening size of the splayed plate 405, thereby realizing the pressing processing of the top sheet A1 inside the inner tube 402 through the opening size of the splayed plate 405.

[0040] When pressing the top sheet A1 and the bottle cap body A3, the hydraulic cylinder 407 is first started. The hydraulic cylinder 407 drives the movable ring 408 to move downward. The movable ring 408 is slidably connected with the slide groove 410 at the upper end of the eight-shaped plate 405 through the slider 409 at the bottom. The movable ring 408 moves downward, exerting pressure on the eight-shaped plate 405, thereby driving the upper half of the eight-shaped plate 405 to rotate slightly upward inside the lower end of the inner tube 402. When the upper half of the eight-shaped plate 405 moves into the notch 404, the opening of the eight-shaped plate 405 becomes larger, which will allow the top sheet A1 inside the inner tube 402 to fall out, so that the top sheet A1 is attached to the bottle cap body. On A3, the upper half of the bottle cap body A3 will be inside the splayed plate 405 when pressed; when the top sheet A1 falls, the hydraulic cylinder 407 will simultaneously contract upward, causing the opening at the upper end of the splayed plate 405 to become smaller, pressing against the upper top sheet A1, so that one top sheet A1 enters the splayed plate 405, and the smaller opening of the splayed plate 405 will press against the next top sheet A1 that needs to be pressed, preventing the subsequent top sheet A1 from coming out from the inside of the inner tube 402. When the next top sheet A1 needs to be pressed, the opening of the splayed plate 405 will be opened again to ensure that the top sheets A1 inside the inner tube 402 can be pressed one by one.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown, during pressing, the bottle cap body A3 is inside the movable ring 408, and the top sheet A1 is in contact with the inner side of the upper opening of the splayed plate 405. When the hydraulic cylinder 407 contracts upward, it will drive the movable ring 408 to move upward. The movable ring 408 moves upward and drives the splayed plate 405 to rotate downward around the rotating axis. The splayed plate 405 will transmit pressure to the top sheet A1, providing a downward pressing force on the top sheet A1, so that the top sheet A1 is pressed on the bottle cap body A3, and the bottle cap body A3 and the top sheet A1 are pressed together to ensure that the NFC chip A2 is between the top sheet A1 and the bottle cap body A3. While pressing, the opening of the splayed plate 405 continues to become smaller, and the next top sheet A1 to be pressed is limited to the upper part of the splayed plate 405, unifying the two processes of loading and pressing.

[0042] Baffles 403 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the inner tube 402 for placing the inner tube 402 on the inside of the outer tube 401. There are four figure-eight plates 405, which form an figure-eight shape when two are opposite to each other and in an inclined state.

[0043] See also Figure 7-10 The discharge mechanism 7 includes a motor 701 fixedly connected to the top of the discharge tray 5, and the output end of the motor 701 is rotatably connected to the rotating part 702 through the central axis;

[0044] An empty slot is opened inside the discharge tray 5 for placing the rotating part 702, ensuring that there is enough space for the rotating part 702 to rotate inside the discharge tray 5. The motor 701 is located at the center of the discharge tray 5 and will not contact the pressing mechanism 4 during the pressing process, and will not affect the pressing process.

[0045] The top of the rotating part 702 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 704 via the connecting shaft 703 , and the bottom of the rotating rod 704 is rotatably connected to the toggle block 706 via the connecting shaft. A sliding groove 705 is provided on the outer side of the toggle block 706 .

[0046] The end of the toggle block 706 is rotatably connected to a clamp claw 707, and there are two clamp claws 707. The end of the toggle block 706 is rotatably connected to the clamp claw 707, and a second slider 708 is provided on one side of the clamp claw 707. A spring 709 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the second slider 708. The two clamp claws 707 are one on the left and one on the right, respectively, and present a circular ring shape with a notch. The clamp claw 707 has two states, a tightened state and a released state.

[0047] The jaws 707 will produce two states as the toggle block 706 reciprocates. In the first state, the jaws 707 are in a closed state. When the toggle block 706 moves inward (i.e., contracts), the jaws 707 will move backward. The outer sides of the two jaws 707 will fit together with the inner side of the U-shaped slot 6, so that the two sides of the jaws 707 are under pressure, thereby generating a clamping force. The two jaws 707 will transmit the pressure to the second slider 708. After the second slider 708 is under pressure, it will slide inside the sliding slot 705. The potential energy generated by the displacement will be transmitted to the spring 709, so that the spring 709 will now be in a stored state, clamping the bottle cap inside the U-shaped slot 6. After the two sides of the jaws 707 are under pressure, they will rotate inward, so that the jaws 707 are in a closed state, achieving the clamping effect on the bottle cap.

[0048] When the lever 706 is in the open position, the lever 707 is in the open position, and the lever 706 moves forward when the lever 706 moves outward. The lever 707 moves forward and is separated from the inside of the U-shaped slot 6. The outsides of the two lever claws 707 are not subjected to pressure. When the lever 707 is in the closed position, the force-storing spring 709 will spring open when the lever 707 is not under force, and the elastic force will be transmitted to the second slider 708. The second slider 708 will push the lever 707 to rotate outward, causing the two lever claws to spread outward, so that the processed bottle caps are not clamped. The gaps of the two lever claws are released, and the lever 706 moves forward in conjunction with the push of the lever 706 to push the bottle caps inside the U-shaped slot 6 into the collecting tray at the lower end of the discharge tray 5, thereby achieving the unloading effect.

[0049] By setting the discharging mechanism 7, multiple finished products can be taken out at the same time without people taking them out one by one, which improves people's convenience, makes the loading and unloading steps consistent, and facilitates people to carry out continuous operations.

[0050] like Figure 11 As shown, when processing the bottle cap, the bottle cap body A3 is placed in the U-shaped slot 6, and the lifting cylinder 2 is started to drive the pressing mechanism 4 to press downward, and the top sheet A1 inside the inner tube 402 can be dropped out through the cooperation of the splayed plate 405 and the movable ring 408. After the top sheet A1 falls out, it will fit on the bottle cap body A3. After being subjected to pressure, the bottom of the top sheet A1 will be inserted into the opening at the upper end of the bottle cap body A3, so that the top sheet A1 and the bottle cap body A3 are completely fitted together. After pressing, the discharge mechanism 7 inside the discharge tray 5 will push the pressed bottle cap into the collecting tray at the lower end of the discharge tray 5.
