The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. The present invention is described in more detail by way of example in the following paragraphs. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer according to the following description and claims.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0021] Example

[0022] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, a bottle cap coding mechanism includes a feeding mechanism 1 for conveying bottle caps, a coding mechanism 2 for coding the bottle caps, and a transition conveyor belt 3 arranged between the feeding mechanism 1 and the coding mechanism 2, the coding mechanism 2 includes a cap separation turntable 21 for equidistantly separating the conveyed and returned bottle caps, an inner code coding mechanism 22 for coding the bottle caps on the cap separation turntable 21 with inner codes, a flipping mechanism 23 for conveying the bottle caps coded with inner codes back to the cap separation turntable 21, an outer code coding mechanism 24 for coding the bottle caps on the cap separation turntable 21 with outer codes, a detection mechanism 4 for scanning inner codes and outer codes, and a discharging mechanism 5 for distinguishing qualified bottle caps from unqualified bottle caps.

[0023] The use of the cap separation turntable 21 can separate the conveyed and returned bottle caps at equal distances, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of coding; the use of the inner code coding mechanism 22 and the outer code coding mechanism 24 respectively can encode the two sides of the bottle caps respectively, improving the capacity and flexibility of information storage.

[0024] The cap-turning mechanism 23 is used to return the bottle caps with inner codes to the cap-sorting turntable 21, so that the bottle caps can be reused, reducing waste and improving resource utilization; the scanning and detection mechanism 4 for inner and outer codes helps to ensure that the coding is accurate, improve product quality and recognition accuracy; the discharging mechanism 5 for distinguishing qualified bottle caps from unqualified bottle caps can eliminate unqualified products in time to ensure product quality.

[0025] The waterfall-type capping and sorting machine 11 loads the bottle caps with the cap openings facing upwards up the slope, and the caps are blown into the transition conveyor belt 3 by the outlet air duct 12. The conveyor belt conveys forward, and the cap-sorting turntable 21 uses the speed difference between the turntable and the inner code coding conveyor line to divide the bottle caps into equal distances. The caps trigger the inner code coding sensor. After the inner code coding laser machine 221 is coded, the caps pass through the flip mechanism 23 and the cap openings face downwards. The cap-sorting turntable 21 behind the flip mechanism 23 divides the caps into equal distances. The caps enter the outer code coding conveyor line, triggering the outer code coding sensor. After the outer code coding laser machine 241 is coded, they enter the visual inspection double belt line 41. The upper and lower visual scanners 42 scan the inner and outer codes. If they are unqualified, they are blown into the rejection channel 51 by the rejection air nozzle, and if they are qualified, they pass. The boxing mechanism 52 counts and boxes the caps according to the preset boxing quantity.

[0026] The feeding mechanism 1 includes a waterfall-type cap-loading and cap-sorting machine 11 for loading bottle caps with their cap openings facing upwards. The waterfall-type cap-loading and cap-sorting machine 11 is provided with an outlet air duct 12 for blowing the caps into the transition conveyor belt 3 .

[0027] The waterfall-type capping and unscrambling machine 11 can quickly and accurately load bottle caps with their caps facing upwards, thereby improving the efficiency and speed of loading. The design of the waterfall-type capping and unscrambling machine 11 can ensure that the bottle caps remain in a state of facing upwards during transportation, which is beneficial to subsequent coding and processing.

[0028] The transition conveyor belt 3 serves as an intermediate link connecting the waterfall-type capping machine 11 and the coding mechanism 2, and can smoothly convey the loaded bottle caps to the coding mechanism 2, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire process; the outlet air duct 12 can help blow the caps onto the transition conveyor belt 3, ensuring the smooth transmission of the bottle caps, avoiding blockage and jamming, and improving the reliability of transportation.

[0029] The inner code assigning mechanism 22 includes an inner code assigning sensor for sensing and triggering the bottle caps on the cap separation turntable 21, and an inner code assigning laser machine 221 for coding the inner codes of the bottle caps after the inner codes are sensed and triggered. The outer code assigning mechanism 24 includes an outer code assigning sensor for sensing and triggering the returned bottle caps, and an outer code assigning laser machine 241 for coding the outer codes of the bottle caps after the outer codes are sensed and triggered.

[0030] Both the inner code assigning mechanism 22 and the outer code assigning mechanism 24 are equipped with induction trigger sensors, which can accurately identify the position and state of the bottle cap to ensure the accuracy and stability of the coding; the inner code assigning laser machine 221 is specially used for coding the inner code, and the outer code assigning laser machine 241 is specially used for coding the outer code. Separating the inner and outer codes can avoid information confusion and errors.

[0031] The use of a laser machine for coding has the characteristics of high speed and high precision, and can complete the coding process in a short time without causing physical damage to the bottle caps, thereby ensuring the quality of the product; the design of the inner code coding mechanism 22 and the outer code coding mechanism 24 makes it suitable for bottle caps of different types and sizes, and has certain flexibility and versatility.

[0032] The detection mechanism 4 includes a visual inspection double belt line 41 for conveying coded bottle caps, and an upper and lower visual scanner 42 for scanning the coded bottle caps on the visual inspection double belt line 41 for inner and outer codes.

[0033] The use of visual inspection double belt line 41 can ensure the status of the conveyed bottle caps after receiving the coding, which helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of subsequent inspections; the upper and lower visual scanners 42 can simultaneously inspect the inner and outer codes of the bottle caps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the coding, and improve product quality and recognition accuracy.

[0034] Visual scanners can inspect coded bottle caps in real time and promptly identify any potential problems or errors, facilitating timely correction and processing to ensure product quality. The use of visual inspection and scanning technology can automate the coding inspection process, improve the efficiency and speed of inspection, reduce the need for manual intervention, and reduce production costs.

[0035] The discharging mechanism 5 includes a rejection channel 51 for blowing out unqualified bottle caps, and a box separation mechanism 52 for blowing out qualified bottle caps, and also includes a human-machine operation interface 6 arranged on the coding mechanism 2; and also includes a display screen 7 arranged on the coding mechanism 2.

[0036] The rejection channel 51 can effectively separate unqualified bottle caps and blow them out, ensuring that unqualified products will not enter the downstream boxing mechanism 52, thereby improving the quality and reliability of the product; the boxing mechanism 52 can box qualified bottle caps, which is convenient for subsequent packaging and transportation, and improves the efficiency and smoothness of the production line; the human-machine operation interface 6 set on the coding mechanism 2 is convenient for operators to monitor and control the coding process, making the operation more convenient and intuitive, and reducing the possibility of operating errors; the display screen 7 can display the working status, parameters, output and other information of the coding mechanism 2 in real time, helping operators to understand the production situation in a timely manner, helping to discover and solve problems in a timely manner, and improving the efficiency of production management.

All other various forms of modifications, replacements or changes made to the above-mentioned structure of the utility model based on the above-mentioned contents of the utility model, in accordance with the common technical knowledge and customary means in the field, without departing from the above-mentioned basic technical ideas of the utility model, should fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
