Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of assembly equipment technology, and particularly relates to an assembly and alignment device for lipstick / lip gloss caps and inner caps. Background Technology

[0002] In the cosmetics manufacturing industry, lipsticks and lip glosses are popular categories with continuously rising market demand. However, in the production process, the assembly of the lipstick / lip gloss cap and inner cap has become a bottleneck restricting overall production efficiency.

[0003] Because installing the inner cover between the outer cover and the inner cover requires multiple steps such as applying glue, melting glue, pasting, and pressing, it is currently still done manually. From a production speed perspective, manual assembly has a clear upper limit. Even a skilled worker assembling a single cover and inner cover, with smooth movements, still takes time. Differences in worker techniques and skill levels directly lead to inconsistent assembly quality; some workers may assemble tightly, while others may leave gaps, affecting the product's sealing and appearance. Furthermore, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the precision of every assembly action, and prolonged repetitive work can easily lead to worker fatigue, increasing the defect rate. Once a defective product appears, not only is rework required with additional time and manpower, but it also wastes raw materials and increases production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lipstick / lip gloss cap and inner cap assembly alignment device to address the problems of low production efficiency, inconsistent production quality, easy rework, and increased costs caused by manual assembly of lipstick / lip gloss caps and inner caps.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lipstick / lip gloss cap and inner cap assembly and alignment device, comprising a worktable on which a rotating round table is provided. The rotating round table is sequentially provided with an outer cap feeding mechanism, a visual inspection mechanism, a 3M dispensing mechanism, a hot melt dispensing mechanism, an inner cap dual-workstation displacement loading mechanism, an electric cylinder pressing mechanism, and an assembly unloading mechanism. The rotating round table contains a positioning platform with several infrared sensors. The outer cap feeding mechanism has an outer cap conveying mechanism at one end, and the inner cap dual-workstation displacement loading mechanism has an inner cap conveying mechanism at one end. A finished product unloading conveying mechanism is provided between the assembly unloading mechanism and the electric cylinder pressing mechanism. An inner cap appearance inspection mechanism is provided between the inner cap dual-workstation displacement loading mechanism and the inner cap conveying mechanism.

The first connecting plate is slidably connected to the electric slide table, the first telescopic cylinder is connected to the first connecting plate, and the suction head is connected to the first telescopic cylinder.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The inner cover dual-work displacement loading mechanism includes a second connecting plate, a plurality of second telescopic cylinders and a plurality of first clamps. The second connecting plate is slidably connected to the electric slide table, the plurality of second telescopic cylinders are connected to the second connecting plate, and the plurality of first clamps are correspondingly connected to the plurality of second telescopic cylinders. The inner wall of the first clamp and the outer wall of the inner cover match each other.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The assembly unloading mechanism includes a third connecting plate, a third telescopic cylinder, and a second clamp. The third connecting plate is connected to the electric slide table, the third telescopic cylinder is connected to the third connecting plate, and the second clamp is connected to the third telescopic cylinder. The inner wall of the second clamp matches the outer wall of the finished product.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The visual inspection mechanism, the 3M dispensing mechanism, the hot melt dispensing mechanism, and the inner cover appearance inspection mechanism are all equipped with a supporting lifting structure. The supporting lifting structure includes a support plate and a sliding table module. The sliding table module is connected to the support plate. The visual inspection mechanism includes a camera. The 3M dispensing mechanism includes a 3M dispensing machine. The hot melt dispensing mechanism includes a hot melt machine.

When assembling the outer and inner covers, several outer covers are placed on the outer cover limiting bodies on the outer cover conveying mechanism, and several inner covers are placed on the inner cover limiting bodies on the inner cover conveying mechanism. The outer covers are then conveyed to the outer cover feeding mechanism via the outer cover conveying mechanism, picked up by the suction head, and placed on the rotating platform under the drive of the supporting conveying mechanism. The outer cover limiting bodies stop briefly each time they pass an infrared sensor. The assembly process involves several steps. The outer cover rotates to a vision inspection mechanism, which checks the inside for dirt. It then rotates to a 3M dispensing mechanism for dispensing adhesive, followed by a hot melt dispensing mechanism to heat the adhesive, smoothing its surface for easier inner cover bonding. The inner cover conveyor then transfers the inner cover to a double-clamping mechanism. Two second clamps on this mechanism pick up the inner cover and place it in the outer cover appearance inspection mechanism for inspection. The inspected inner cover is then transferred to the rotating platform inside the outer cover to form an assembly. The finished product is then pressed together by an electric cylinder pressing mechanism. After passing through the bottom of the assembly unloading mechanism, the second clamp picks it up and transfers it to the finished product unloading conveyor mechanism. Any non-compliant inner or outer cover is directly discarded into a waste bin via the second clamp. This fully automated alignment and assembly process significantly improves production efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description
