Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bottle cap sealing technology, and in particular relates to a sealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle sealing with wax is an ancient and effective method. Molten wax is applied to the bottle neck or stopper, and after cooling, it forms a solid protective layer, effectively isolating air, preventing leakage, and delaying deterioration. Chinese patent CN220924703U discloses an automatic wax sealing device that uses a wax-dispensing turntable mechanism to switch the bottle clamping assembly between the inlet, sealing, and outlet positions. However, the wax-dispensing turntable mechanism is relatively complex, has high manufacturing costs, and is inconvenient for maintenance. Therefore, developing a fully automatic wax sealing machine is crucial. Summary of the Invention

The bottle stopper includes an auxiliary baffle installed on the left side of the conveying equipment and a material blocking frame on the right side. A material blocking shaft is provided inside the material blocking frame, and material blocking star wheels are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the material blocking shaft. The material blocking shaft rotates through a bottle blocking driven wheel connected to the driving wheel B.

A material separating star wheel is provided at both the upper and lower ends of the material separating shaft. A material blocking plate is also provided on the material blocking frame, and the material blocking plate has a groove for the material separating star wheel to pass through.

[0008] Furthermore, the baffle frame is provided with an outer spacing adjustment mechanism for adjusting the spacing, and the auxiliary baffle is provided with an inner spacing adjustment mechanism for adjusting the spacing.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-13As shown, the present invention is a wax sealing machine, including a workbench 1. The workbench 1 is provided with a rotating mechanism 6 and a conveying device 2. Between the rotating mechanism 6 and the conveying device 2, there are a feeding mechanism 4 and a discharging mechanism 5 for loading and unloading materials. The feeding end of the feeding mechanism 4 is provided with a bottle separating mechanism 3. Above the rotating mechanism 6, there is a running guide rail 7 fixedly connected to the workbench 1. Between the running guide rail 7 and the rotating mechanism 6, there are several bottle clamping mechanisms 8 for clamping bottles. Between the rotating mechanism 6 and the workbench 1, there is a wax pool 9 for sealing wax and a wax receiving tray 10 for receiving wax liquid. The rotating mechanism 6 is provided with a drive wheel A 19 installed below the workbench 1. The drive wheel A 19 is provided with a driver A 12. The bottle separating mechanism 3, the feeding mechanism 4 and the discharging mechanism 5 are all driven by a drive wheel B 14 set below the workbench 1. The drive wheel B 14 is provided with a driver B 13.

[0024] During operation, the conveying device 2 transports the bottles to be sealed with wax facing upwards to the feeding mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 4 then transports the bottles one by one to the bottle clamping mechanism 8. The bottle clamping mechanism 8 guides the bottles along the running guide rail 7 sequentially through the feeding track 71 for feeding, the downward flipping track 72 for downward flipping, the wax dipping track 73 for wax dipping, the wax control track 74 for wax control, the upward flipping track 75 for preparing for unloading, and the unloading track 76 for easy transport to the unloading mechanism 5. Finally, the sealed bottles are output by the conveying device 2. This application features a simplified structure and assembly. The non-standard, irregularly shaped running guide rail 7 drives the bottle clamping mechanism 8 to rotate downwards by 180° to dip in wax, and then rotates upwards by 180° to complete the dynamic sealing process. This allows for fast and efficient sealing, ensuring the quality standards of the sealing process, while saving on equipment manufacturing costs and facilitating maintenance. The bottle-separating mechanism 3, the feeding mechanism 4, and the unloading mechanism 5 of this application work together to enable bottles to complete the feeding, transfer, wax dipping, and unloading processes one by one in an orderly manner, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0025] The running guide rail 7 includes a feeding rail 71, a downward flipping rail 72, a wax dipping rail 73, a wax control rail 74, an upward flipping rail 75, and a discharging rail 76 connected in sequence. The feeding rail 71 is adjacent to the feeding mechanism 4, and the discharging rail 76 is connected to the discharging mechanism 5. The running guide rail 7 is a non-standard irregular-shaped rail, surrounding the outer diameter edge of the rotating mechanism 6. One end of the bottle clamping mechanism 8 is hinged to the outer diameter edge of the rotating mechanism 6 to achieve 180° free flipping, and the other end moves along the running guide rail 7 to achieve up-and-down flipping of the bottle mouth.

[0026] The running guide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1 through several auxiliary frames 22.

[0027] The bottle separating mechanism 3 includes a bottle stopper and a bottle separator connected in sequence. The bottle stopper includes an auxiliary baffle plate installed on the left side of the conveying device 2 and a material blocking frame 31 on the right side. A material blocking shaft 32 is provided inside the material blocking frame 31, and material blocking star wheels 33 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the material blocking shaft 32. The material blocking shaft 32 rotates via a bottle-blocking driven wheel 16 connected to the driving wheel 14. The bottle separator includes a material separating shaft 36 meshing with the material blocking shaft 32, and material separating star wheels 37 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the material separating shaft 36. A material blocking plate 34 is also provided on the material blocking frame 31, and a groove 35 is provided on the material blocking plate 34 for the material separating star wheels 37 to pass through. The material blocking star wheels 33 are used to effectively separate two adjacent bottles, achieving sequential and orderly conveying. The material separating star wheels 37 are used to effectively separate two adjacent bottles, enabling the feeding mechanism 4 to complete the feeding operation in a sequential and orderly manner.

[0028] The baffle frame 31 is provided with an outer spacing adjustment mechanism 38 for adjusting the spacing, and the auxiliary baffle is provided with an inner spacing adjustment mechanism 39 for adjusting the spacing. The outer spacing adjustment mechanism 38 and the inner spacing adjustment mechanism 39 are used for adjusting the spacing when changing bottles of different models.

[0029] The driving wheel 14 is equipped with a feeding driven wheel 17, which in turn is equipped with a feeding device. The feeding device includes a top feeding star wheel 41 and a bottom feeding star wheel 43, with several fixed rods 42 fixedly connected between the top feeding star wheel 41 and the bottom feeding star wheel 43. Both the top feeding star wheel 41 and the bottom feeding star wheel 43 are used to effectively separate two adjacent bottles, enabling the feeding process to be completed one by one in an orderly manner.

[0030] The feeding mechanism 5 includes a feeding driven wheel 18 connected to the driving wheel B 14. The feeding driven wheel 18 is equipped with a feeding device, which includes a top feeding star wheel 51 and a bottom feeding star wheel 53. Several fixed rods B 52 are fixedly connected between the top feeding star wheel 51 and the bottom feeding star wheel 53. Both the top feeding star wheel 51 and the bottom feeding star wheel 53 are used to effectively separate two adjacent bottles, enabling the feeding process to be completed sequentially and orderly.

[0031] A limiting frame 11 is installed above the conveying device 2 between the feeding device and the unloading device, and a tensioning wheel 15 is provided below the workbench 1 for adjusting the chain tension. The tensioning wheel 15 is used to adjust the chain tension between the driving wheel 14, the bottle-blocking driven wheel 16, the feeding driven wheel 17, and the unloading driven wheel 18.

[0032] The bottle clamping mechanism 8 includes a slider 81 slidably connected to the running guide rail 7 and a connecting block 86 hinged to the rotating mechanism 6. A driven plate 84 and a driving plate 85 are movably connected between the connecting block 86 and the slider 81. The free ends of the driven plate 84 and the driving plate 85 are symmetrically provided with clamps 88, the connecting ends are engaged, and the upper and lower surfaces of the middle ends are provided with springs 89 for connecting the driven plate 84 and the driving plate 85. The worktable 1 is provided with a convex plate 23 for opening and closing connection between the driven plate 84 and the driving plate 85. The convex plate 23 is located between the rotating mechanism 6 and the conveying device 2. The driving plate 85 is provided with a cam 87 that cooperates with the convex plate 23. The slider 81 is provided with a connecting member 82. The connecting end of the connecting member 82 is fixedly connected to the slider 81, and the free end is provided with an adjustable base plate 83. The top feeding star wheel 41 and the bottom feeding star wheel 43 of the feeding mechanism 4 clamp the upper and lower ends of the bottle respectively. Then the bottle is moved from the conveying device 2 to the bottle clamping mechanism 8. At this time, the cam 87 moves to the convex plate 23. Under the action of the convex plate 23 and the cam 87, the free ends of the active plate 85 and the driven plate 84 open, and the bottle moves to the bottom plate 83. When the cam 87 moves away from the convex plate 23, the free ends of the active plate 85 and the driven plate 84 close and clamp the bottle. Then the slider 81 drives the bottle to slide along the running guide rail 7 to complete the wax dipping, wax control and feeding. The cam 87 moves to the convex plate 23 again. Under the action of the convex plate 23 and the cam 87, the free ends of the active plate 85 and the driven plate 84 open. The bottle is moved to the conveying device 2 for output by clamping the upper and lower ends of the bottle through the top feeding star wheel 51 and the bottom feeding star wheel 53. This application achieves the open state of the free ends of the driving plate 85 and the driven plate 84 by the cam 87 moving at the edge of the convex plate 23 (i.e., in contact with it), and achieves the closed state of the free ends of the driving plate 85 and the driven plate 84 by the cam 87 moving away from the edge of the convex plate 23 (i.e., without contact). The opening and closing of the bottle clamping mechanism 8 is perfectly realized through the cooperation between the cam 87 and the convex plate 23.

[0033] The workbench 1 has a protective cover 20, and a control screen connecting rod 21 is provided on the top of the protective cover 20. The protective cover 20 is used to improve production safety standards. A viewing window can be provided on the top of the protective cover 20, and the bottom can be sealed with a plate for dust prevention. The control screen connecting rod 21 is an adjustable rod for adjusting the equipment control screen.
