Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum cap hanging technology, specifically to an adaptive multi-specification aluminum cap intelligent hanging and detection integrated device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Cosmetic aluminum caps, as an indispensable core component of the cosmetic packaging system, are metal caps made primarily of high-purity aluminum and aluminum alloys. They are manufactured through a series of precision processes including stamping, stretching, bending, surface treatment, and assembly, and are specifically designed to fit various cosmetic containers (such as glass bottles, plastic bottles, and ceramic bottles). These caps serve four core functions: sealing and protection, anti-theft and anti-counterfeiting, decorative enhancement, and functional compatibility. Widely used in the packaging of perfumes, skincare products, makeup, and haircare products, they are key components for ensuring the stability of cosmetic quality, enhancing product appearance, and improving the consumer experience. Their quality standards and manufacturing processes are closely related to the high-end and safe development of cosmetics.

[0003] Anodizing is the core process in the surface treatment of cosmetic aluminum caps. Through anodizing, a dense, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and highly decorative oxide film can be formed on the aluminum cap surface. Stable mounting of the aluminum cap during the anodizing process is crucial for ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the oxide film, avoiding defects such as hanging points and uneven film layers. Currently, when anodizing cosmetic aluminum caps, they are typically placed on specialized hangers. After being positioned and fixed by the hangers, they are transferred to the anodizing tank to complete a series of processing steps. However, existing hangers have several unresolved technical defects in actual industrial production, as follows: 1. The hangers are difficult to adapt to various inner diameter sizes of cosmetic aluminum caps, resulting in extremely poor versatility and adaptability. Existing aluminum cap hangers are mostly rigid structures of fixed sizes, only suitable for hanging aluminum caps of a single inner diameter. When the specifications of the aluminum caps produced change, the entire line of hangers needs to be replaced with the corresponding model. Frequent changeovers not only significantly increase production auxiliary time and reduce overall production efficiency, but also require companies to stock multiple sets of hangers of different specifications, significantly increasing production costs and warehousing management difficulties.

[0004] 2. The inability to automatically and accurately detect the mounting position of cosmetic aluminum caps makes it difficult to determine whether the caps are properly mounted. Existing mounting fixtures lack positioning detection functions, relying entirely on manual visual inspection to confirm the mounting status. Manual inspection is not only extremely inefficient and unable to keep pace with high-speed, continuous production lines, but is also highly susceptible to factors such as personnel condition and ambient lighting, leading to missed or false detections. If the aluminum caps are not properly mounted before entering the oxidation process, during transfer and electrolysis, batch defects such as caps falling off, uneven oxide film thickness, and areas without oxide layers are highly likely. Fallen caps can also cause electrolytic pool contamination and emergency production line shutdowns, severely impacting production continuity and product yield, failing to meet the high-precision, high-stability industrial production requirements for cosmetic aluminum caps. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An adaptive multi-specification aluminum cap intelligent hanging and detection integrated device includes a square frame, in which several horizontal plates are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the square frame, and several vertical plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the horizontal plates. A telescopic component is provided between two sets of vertical plates to adjust the distance between the two sets of vertical plates.

S3, when the aluminum cover is placed on top of the two sets of vertical plates, the inner surface of the aluminum cover will press the pressure plate to make the pressure sensor value reach the preset value. If the pressure sensor value does not reach the standard, it means that it is not placed in place.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] This invention provides an integrated device and method for intelligent mounting and detection of adaptive multi-specification aluminum caps. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6The device includes a frame 10, with several horizontal plates 20 fixedly installed inside the frame 10. Several vertical plates 30 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of each horizontal plate 20. The vertical plates 30 are made of spring steel. A telescopic assembly is provided between two sets of vertical plates 30 to adjust the distance between them. By using spring steel to manufacture the vertical plates 30, a stable elastic support force is provided to the inner wall of the aluminum cover. This ensures the stability of the aluminum cover after installation, preventing it from shaking or falling off during transport. Furthermore, the device can adapt to the minute machining tolerances of the aluminum cover's inner diameter through slight elastic deformation, further improving its fit.

[0020] The telescopic assembly includes: a first side plate 40, a first rotating shaft 41, a first movable rod 42, a first circular plate 43, an electric push rod 44, a second circular plate 45, a telescopic rod 46, a second movable rod 47, a second side plate 48, and a second rotating shaft 49. One set of vertical plates 30 has two inner ends fixedly mounted with first side plates 40; the first rotating shaft 41 is rotatably connected between the two sets of first side plates 40 via bearings; the outer end of the first movable rod 42 is fixedly mounted on the middle part of the first rotating shaft 41; the first circular plate 43 is fixedly mounted on the inner end of the first movable rod 42; the electric push rod 44 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the first circular plate 43; the second circular plate 45 is fixedly mounted on the push rod of the electric push rod 44; the telescopic rod 46 is fixedly mounted between the first circular plate 43 and the second circular plate 45; the inner end of the second movable rod 47 is fixedly mounted with the second circular plate 45; another set of vertical plates 30 has two inner ends fixedly mounted with second side plates 48; the second rotating shaft 49 is rotatably connected between the two sets of second side plates 48 via bearings, and the outer end of the second movable rod 47 is fixedly mounted on the middle part of the second rotating shaft 49.

[0021] The electric push rod 44 is precisely controlled by an external programmable logic controller (PLC) for starting, stopping, and extending its stroke. It is powered by an industrial-grade 24V DC regulated power supply, which is suitable for the industrial power environment of the oxidation workshop. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod 44 can be precisely controlled according to the inner diameter parameters of the aluminum cover to be installed, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the distance between the two sets of vertical plates 30. When the electric push rod 44 extends, its push rod pushes the second circular plate 45 to translate away from the first circular plate 43. At this time, the first movable rod 42 rotates around the first rotating shaft 41, and the second movable rod 47 rotates around the second rotating shaft 49. This, through the first rotating shaft 41, the first side plate 40, the second rotating shaft 49, and the second side plate 48, pushes the two sets of vertical plates 30 to translate synchronously away from each other, thereby increasing the distance between the outer supports of the two sets of vertical plates 30. When the electric push rod 44 shortens, its push rod pulls the second circular plate 45 to translate closer to the first circular plate 43, thereby pulling the two sets of vertical plates 30 to translate synchronously closer to each other, thereby decreasing the distance between the outer supports of the two sets of vertical plates 30. By setting a telescopic component between the two sets of vertical plates 30, the support spacing between the two sets of vertical plates 30 can be steplessly and precisely adjusted, adapting to the mounting requirements of aluminum caps with different inner diameters, without the need to replace the mounting bracket itself, thus greatly improving the versatility of the bracket and the efficiency of production changeover; by setting a telescopic rod 46 between the first circular plate 43 and the second circular plate 45, the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 44 can be radially limited and guided, preventing radial offset during the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 44, and ensuring the synchronicity, stability and accuracy of the spacing adjustment between the two sets of vertical plates 30.

[0022] It also includes a detection component for detecting the position of the aluminum cover, and the detection component is located on the top of the vertical plate 30.

[0023] The detection assembly includes: a pressure sensor 50, a pressure plate 51, a first groove 52, a second protrusion 53, a second groove 54, and a second protrusion 55; The pressure sensor 50 is located on the top of the vertical plate 30; the pressure plate 51 is located on the top of the pressure sensor 50; a first groove 52 is provided at the top of the vertical plate 30, and a second protrusion 53 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressure sensor 50, and the second protrusion 53 is inserted into the first groove 52 with an interference fit; a second groove 54 is provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 51, and a second protrusion 55 is fixedly installed at the top of the pressure sensor 50, and the second protrusion 55 is inserted into the second groove 54 with an interference fit.

[0024] The pressure sensor 50 is powered by an industrial-grade 24V DC regulated power supply. Its detection signal output terminal is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of an external PLC controller, transmitting the real-time detected pressure value to the PLC controller. The PLC controller has a preset pressure threshold corresponding to the aluminum cap specification. Based on the comparison between the real-time detected value and the preset threshold, it can determine the proper installation status of the aluminum cap. When the detected value does not reach the preset threshold, it can trigger an external audible and visual alarm to remind the operator to handle the situation promptly. By setting a detection assembly consisting of the pressure sensor 50 and the pressure plate 51 on the top of the vertical plate 30, the proper installation status of the aluminum cap can be detected in real time and automatically, replacing traditional manual visual inspection, greatly improving detection efficiency and accuracy, and preventing product defects and production accidents caused by improper installation of the aluminum cap from the source. The assembly connection of the pressure sensor 50 with the vertical plate 30 and the pressure plate 51 is achieved by using an interference fit protrusion and groove structure, which enables quick disassembly and maintenance of the detection assembly, while ensuring the stability of pressure transmission during aluminum cap installation, thus improving the reliability and accuracy of pressure detection data.

[0025] An adaptive, multi-specification aluminum cap intelligent hanging and detection integrated method includes the following specific steps: S1, activate the electric push rod 44 to extend or retract, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of vertical plates 30. If the electric push rod 44 extends, the distance between the two sets of vertical plates 30 will increase; if the electric push rod 44 shortens, the distance between the two sets of vertical plates 30 will decrease, until the distance between the two sets of vertical plates 30 matches the inner diameter of the aluminum cover. S2, place the aluminum cover on top of the two sets of vertical plates 30. At this time, the outer surface of the vertical plate 30 is in contact with the inner surface of the aluminum cover, thereby limiting the position of the aluminum cover. S3, when the aluminum cover is placed on top of the two sets of vertical plates 30, the inner surface of the aluminum cover will press the pressure plate 51 to make the value of the pressure sensor 50 reach the preset value. If the value of the pressure sensor 50 does not meet the standard, there is a phenomenon that it is not placed in place.

[0026] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the disclosed embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
