Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a conveying device, in particular to a device for automatically adding bottle caps on a production line. Background Art

[0002] In the process of food processing and production, especially for alcoholic beverages, liquid medicines, etc., the most common storage method is bottling. During the filling process, the bottle cap and the bottle body are transported separately. Usually, the bottle body is transported to the filling production line, and the bottle cap is transported to the filling completion point to realize the combination of the bottle cap and the bottle body. In the existing bottle cap conveying equipment, the movement of the bottle cap on the conveying equipment is generally achieved by air blowing or the rotation of the bottom conveying belt. There are certain problems with air blowing, such as the possibility of tilting the bottle cap during movement and causing jamming. When the number of bottle caps on the conveying equipment is large, a large airflow is required to blow the bottle cap to move, and a large airflow will also produce a large noise.

Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0029] The utility model is mainly used for conveying bottle caps to a production line, and the production line uses the bottle caps conveyed by the device to complete the capping of bottle bodies.

[0030] like Figure 1-6A preferred embodiment of the utility model shown in the figure is a device for automatically adding bottle caps to a production line, which is used to uniformly convey the bottle caps into the production line, comprising: a plurality of bases 100, above each base a slide rail 300 for supporting the bottle caps is fixedly arranged by a support leg 200, so that each base 100 and the slide rail 300 fixed by the support leg 200 are defined as a group of conveying units, and the device is formed by connecting a plurality of groups of conveying units according to actual needs.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to drive the bottle caps 10 on the slide rail 300 to move, a plurality of bottle cap driving mechanisms 400 are provided on the slide rail 300. The bottle cap driving mechanisms 400 are used to drive the bottle caps 100 entering the slide rail 300 to move along the slide rail 300 so as to enter the production line from the end of the slide rail 300. The bottle cap driving mechanisms 400 are arranged above the slide rail 300 for easy maintenance and for observing the moving state of the bottle caps 10 on the slide rail.

[0032] Specifically, the bottle cap driving mechanism 400 includes a bracket 401, a belt 402 and a driving motor 403, wherein the bracket 401 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the slide rail 300, the bracket 401 is fixed to both sides of the slide rail 300 by bolts, and a cross frame 404 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the bracket 401, and a driving shaft and a driven shaft are respectively arranged at both ends of the cross frame 404, the driving shaft is driven by the driving motor 403, and the belt 402 is mounted on the driven shaft and the driving shaft, and the belt 402 is provided with a brush 405 for moving the bottle cap.

[0033] Furthermore, the thickness of the cross frame 404 is slightly larger than the diameter of the driving shaft or the driven shaft, so that the cross frame 404 can provide support for the belt 402 to ensure that the lower belt 402 does not move upward when it contacts the bottle cap 10, thereby causing insufficient force of the brush on the bottle cap 10.

[0034] The driving motor 403 is preferably a servo motor, so that the conveying speed can be accurately controlled according to the demand for bottle caps 10 on the production line.

[0035] When in use, the brush 405 rotates synchronously with the belt 402 . During the rotation, the end of the brush 402 can contact the bottle cap 10 on the slide rail 300 to move the bottle cap 10 forward along the slide rail 300 .

[0036] In order to ensure that the belt 405 located below between the driving shaft and the driven shaft for driving the bottle cap 10 sags under its own gravity, a plurality of L-shaped height maintaining hooks 406 are fixedly provided on both sides of the horizontal frame 404, and the edge of the belt 402 is slidably located on the lower end of the L-shaped height maintaining hook 406.

When in use, the bottom of the bottle cap 10 enters the limiting groove 303, and the limiting groove 303 holds the bottle cap 10 in the limiting groove 303. The guide side plates 301b are used to ensure that the bottle cap will not fall off the slide rail 300 during the process of moving forward along the slide rail 300.

[0039] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the slide rails in each group of conveying units, the support legs 200 are height-adjustable to ensure that the slide rails 300 corresponding to different bases 100 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0040] Specifically, the supporting leg 200 includes a fixed leg 201 and a lifting leg 202.

[0041] A hand wheel 2031 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting screw 203 . The height adjusting screw 203 can be driven to rotate by rotating the hand wheel 2031 . The rotating adjusting screw 203 can raise or lower the lifting leg 202 .

[0042] Of course, in order to ensure that the base can maintain a horizontal state when in the production area, leveling legs 101 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the base 100. Specifically, the leveling legs 101 include a base, and an adjustment screw is fixed on the upper side of the base, and an adjustment nut is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw. An adjustment screw jack is provided on the bottom of the base. After adjusting to a suitable height, the upper side of the adjustment nut on the adjustment screw abuts against the lower surface of the base to keep the base at a stable height.
