[0026] See also Figure 1-3 A bottle cap feeding assembly includes a supporting mechanism and an adjusting mechanism, wherein the adjusting mechanism is arranged on the left side of the supporting mechanism.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The supporting mechanism includes a fixed frame 1, and supporting feet 2 are fixedly installed on all four sides of the bottom of the fixed frame 1. A storage trough 3 is opened in the middle of the fixed frame 1, and a conveyor unit 4 is arranged on the left inner wall of the storage trough 3. A plurality of pushing plates 5 are fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor unit 4. Baffles 6 are fixedly installed on the left and right ends of the outer wall of the conveyor unit 4 close to the storage trough 3. A discharge port 7 is opened on the surface of the left baffle 6 above the storage trough 3, and a guide frame 8 is fixedly installed at the discharge port 7 on the left baffle 6.

[0029] It should be noted that the fixed frame 1 serves as the basic frame of the entire supporting mechanism, providing a stable supporting platform for other components to ensure that the overall structure of the bottle cap loading assembly is stable. The supporting feet 2 are used to lift the bottle cap loading assembly to an appropriate working height, while ensuring the stability of the assembly to prevent shaking or tipping. The storage trough 3 is used to store the bottle caps to be loaded, ensuring that the bottle caps can be concentrated in one area to facilitate subsequent transportation and pushing. The pushing plate 5 is used to place the bottle caps in the storage trough 3 on the conveyor belt in an orderly manner to ensure that the bottle caps can be smoothly transported to the next process. The baffle 6 is used to prevent the bottle caps from falling or deviating from the track during transportation. At the same time, the baffle 6 ensures that the bottle caps can be transported to the discharge port 7 along a preset path. The discharge port 7 is the channel for the bottle caps to be transported from the storage trough 3 to the guide frame 8. Through the discharge port 7, the bottle caps can smoothly enter the guide frame 8 and prepare to enter the next process. The guide frame 8 ensures that the bottle caps can be accurately fed into the guide track 15 to avoid the bottle caps from deviating or getting stuck.

[0030] In this embodiment, the conveyor unit 4 includes a motor, a transmission wheel and a conveyor belt. The motor output shaft is connected to the transmission wheel through a belt. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the transmission wheel. The push plate 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0031] It should be noted that the conveyor unit 4 is used to drive the bottle caps to be conveyed from the storage tank 3 to the guide frame 8, wherein the motor provides power and drives the conveyor belt to rotate through the transmission wheel, thereby realizing continuous conveyance of the bottle caps.

[0032] In this embodiment, a clamping groove is provided between the discharge port 7 of the left baffle plate 6 and the right baffle plate 6 , and a guide plate 14 is clamped between the two clamping grooves.

[0033] It should be noted that the guide plate 14 is clamped in the clamping groove between the discharge port 7 of the left baffle 6 and the right baffle 6 to accommodate bottle caps of different sizes. By replacing guide plates 14 of different styles, it can be ensured that bottle caps of different sizes can smoothly enter the guide track 15.

[0034] In this embodiment, a guide rail 15 is provided on the surface of the guide frame 8, and a fixing nut is threadedly connected between the top of the outer wall of the guide rail 15 and the inner wall of the guide frame 8. A return port is opened at the bottom of the guide frame 8 in the middle of the guide rail 15, and a slide groove 16 is provided below the return port. A stopper 17 is slidably connected between the top of the return port and the guide rail 15, and the top of the slide groove 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide frame 8.

[0035] It should be noted that the guide track 15 enables the bottle caps to move along a predetermined path to ensure accurate delivery of the bottle caps. By adjusting the fixing nut, the height and angle of the guide track 15 can be easily adjusted to meet different bottle cap loading requirements. The return port is opened at the bottom of the guide frame 8 in the middle of the guide track 15, which is used to return the bottle caps that fail to enter the next process correctly to the storage trough 3. The design of the return port avoids waste of resources and improves the efficiency of bottle cap loading. The slide 16 ensures that the bottle caps can smoothly return to the storage trough 3 and wait for the next transportation and pushing.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The adjustment mechanism includes a fixed seat 9 arranged on the left side of the supporting mechanism, a telescopic rod 10 is fixedly installed between the right outer wall of the fixed seat 9 and the back of the conveyor unit 4, two fixed columns 11 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixed seat 9, and a threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected between the tops of the two fixed columns 11.

[0038] It should be noted that the fixed seat 9 serves as the basis of the adjustment mechanism and is fixed on the left side of the support mechanism. It provides a stable platform for installing the telescopic rod 10 and the fixed column 11 to ensure the stability of the entire adjustment mechanism. The telescopic rod 10 can change the inclination angle of the conveyor group 4 relative to the support mechanism by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 10, thereby adapting to the feeding requirements of different bottle caps. The telescopicity of the telescopic rod 10 makes the adjustment process more flexible and convenient. The fixed column 11 provides a stable support structure to ensure that the threaded rod 12 can rotate smoothly.

[0039] In this embodiment, fixing plates 13 are fixedly mounted on both the front and rear ends of the threaded rod 12 , and one end of the fixing plate 13 away from the threaded rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the left and right outer walls of the conveyor unit 4 .

[0040] It should be noted that by rotating the threaded rod 12, the fixed plate 13 can be driven to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 12, thereby achieving fine-tuning of the inclination angle of the conveyor unit 4. This fine-tuning method is accurate and reliable, and can ensure that the bottle caps can be smoothly conveyed to the next process. The fixed plate 13 can connect the conveyor unit 4 with the adjustment mechanism, so that the inclination angle of the conveyor unit 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the threaded rod 12. The stability of the fixed plate 13 ensures the stability and reliability of the adjustment process.

[0041] Working principle: first adjust the inclination angle of the conveyor unit 4 according to different feeding requirements, then put the bottle caps into the storage trough 3, then start the conveyor unit 4, the push plate 5 pushes the bottle caps in the storage trough 3 to the conveyor belt of the conveyor unit 4, and then the guide plate 14 sends the bottle caps on the push plate 5 to the guide frame 8 at the discharge port 7, and finally the guide track 15 sends the bottle caps to the next process.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
