Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of capping machines, in particular to a top pressing device of a fast-adjusting torque capping head. Background Art

[0002] The capping machine is also called a capping machine, a capping machine or a capping machine. It is used to tighten and loosen the caps of plastic bottles and glass bottles after packaging.

[0003] The power transmission of the capping head part of the capping machine is inseparable from the pressing mechanism. The pressing mechanism usually adopts a lifting drive mechanism (such as a cam drive mechanism) to drive the capping gripper to lift and lower as a whole. The capping gripper is provided with a claw for grabbing the lid, and the claw is driven by the corresponding driving cylinder to move. After the capping gripper is lowered as a whole, the driving cylinder corresponding to the claw drives the claw to grab the lid, and then the capping gripper is driven to rotate as a whole by the rotating driving mechanism, so as to tighten the lid to the container. When the capping gripper grabs the lid, the lid is easily skewed, which causes the lid and the container to be poorly matched during the operation of the pressing mechanism. In severe cases, it may even cause the lid to fail to be screwed normally or cause the product to leak and be damaged; in addition, since the claw driving cylinder needs to be activated after the capping gripper is lowered to a predetermined position as a whole, it is necessary to accurately adjust the stroke position of the claw driving cylinder. In actual production, this requires repeated adjustment of the number of pulses of the encoder of the claw driving cylinder to achieve this, which is more troublesome in actual use.

[0004] Therefore, designing a pressing device for a quick-adjusting torque capping head to simplify the positioning of the bottle caps that need to be capped and reduce the skew or swing of the capping bottle caps has become a direction for further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0028] A first spring 11 is sandwiched between the spring top ring 9 and the outer periphery of the moving shaft 4.
