Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of packaging, and in particular to a rubber cap slapping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The rubber cap is usually made of a heat shrinkable film made of PVC material, which is used to seal or decorate the bottle mouth. Nowadays, in order to meet the needs of aesthetics or hygiene, in the beverage industry, it is necessary to put the rubber cap on the bottle cap and the bottle mouth, and shrink it tightly on the bottle mouth through heat shrinkage, so as to achieve the re-sealing of the bottle mouth and the bottle cap.

[0003] In the prior art, a capping device is usually used to cap the bottle mouth. The capping device usually includes a frame, a capping workbench arranged on the frame, a rubber cap conveying track arranged on the capping workbench for receiving and conveying a dozen of rubber cap long tubes, and a separation mechanism arranged at the output end of the rubber cap conveying track for separating the rubber caps from the rubber cap long tubes one by one. The dispensing mechanism includes a rubber cap dispensing head and a driving motor arranged on the frame to drive the rubber cap dispensing head to rotate. The rubber cap dispensing head is arranged on a plurality of rubber cap receiving seats along its axis, and the rubber cap dispensing head rotates intermittently at a specified rhythm along the axis of the driving motor.

[0004] When the driving motor stops rotating, one of the rubber cap receiving seats is aligned with the output end of the rubber cap conveying track, and the other rubber cap receiving seat is aligned with the bottle mouth of the beverage bottle, so that the rubber sleeve is placed on the bottle mouth of the beverage bottle to complete the capping work. Then, the beverage bottle with the cap completed is transported to the downstream for subsequent processing, such as heat shrinking processing, to heat the rubber cap so that the rubber cap is heated and shrunk, so as to be firmly sleeved on the bottle mouth of the beverage bottle.

[0005] However, there is a certain error between the size of the rubber caps at the cap opening of the same batch and the corresponding beverage bottles that need to be put on, so that the position of the rubber caps when they are put on the beverage bottles may be different from the predetermined position. During the subsequent heat shrinkage treatment, the putting effect of the rubber caps may be poor, so further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to reduce the possibility that the position of the rubber cap when it is put on the beverage bottle is different from the predetermined position, and thereby improve the putting effect of the rubber cap, the present application provides a rubber cap beating mechanism.

[0007] The present application provides a rubber cap beating mechanism, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A rubber cap beating mechanism is arranged on a frame, the frame is provided with a cap-putting workbench and a conveying member arranged on the cap-putting workbench for conveying beverage bottles with caps put on them; the rubber cap beating mechanism comprises a mounting frame arranged on the cap-putting workbench and a beating assembly arranged on the mounting frame for beating the rubber cap put on the beverage bottle, the beating assembly comprises a beating plate arranged above the rubber cap and a driving member arranged on the mounting frame for driving the beating plate to move toward the direction close to the rubber cap.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving member is started to drive the beating plate to move in the direction close to the rubber cap, and then the beverage bottle that has been covered with the rubber cap is beaten, so that the rubber cap is moved in the direction close to the beverage bottle, thereby reducing the possibility of a gap between the position of the rubber cap when it is covered on the beverage bottle and the predetermined position, thereby improving the covering effect of the rubber cap.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with a second mounting plate for mounting the driving member, and the driving member includes a first gear rotatably connected to the second mounting plate, a chain meshed with the first gear, a second gear meshed with the chain, and a second driving motor that drives the first gear to rotate; a rotating rod is rotatably passed through the first gear and the second gear, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the flapping plate, two connecting plates are provided and are spaced apart along the length direction of the flapping plate, and a hinged rod is provided between the connecting plate and the rotating rod, one end of the hinged rod is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the other end of the hinged rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the material characteristics of the rubber cap itself, if the method of driving the slapping plate to move up and down in the vertical direction is selected, at the moment when the slapping plate hits the rubber cap, the friction between the two makes the beverage bottle likely to fall over. Start the second drive motor to drive the rotation of the first gear, the chain, the second gear and the rotating rod in sequence, thereby driving the rotation of the hinged rod; when the hinged rod rotates to make its own length direction vertical, the slapping plate abuts against the rubber cap to achieve the slapping of the rubber cap, and when the hinged rod rotates to an inclined setting, the slapping plate is away from the rubber cap, so that the slapping plate can achieve lifting movement under the rotation of the hinged rod, thereby slapping the rubber cap.

[0012] As the second driving motor rotates, the end of the hinged rod away from the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the beating rod and is provided with two, so that the length direction of the beating plate is normally parallel to the horizontal direction of the cap-putting workbench, and because the hinged rod is rotated to different positions, the moving direction of the beating plate during the lifting movement will be the same as the horizontal moving direction of the rubber cap transported by the conveying member, so as to reduce the possibility of the beverage bottle falling over when the beating plate beats the rubber cap, thereby reducing the impact on the beating effect of the rubber cap after the beverage bottle falls over.

[0013] Preferably, the second mounting plate is provided with a protective cover which covers the first gear, the chain and the second gear, the rotating rod is rotatably inserted through the protective cover, and the hinged rod is exposed outside the protective cover.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a protective cover, the possibility of injury caused by employees accidentally touching the first gear, the chain and the second gear when they are exposed can be reduced.

[0015] Preferably, the length of the flapping plate is greater than the spacing between adjacent beverage bottles.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, by making the length of the beating plate greater than the distance between adjacent beverage bottles, the rubber cap on the same beverage bottle can be tapped multiple times when tapping the rubber cap, thereby further reducing the possibility of a gap between the position of the rubber cap and the predetermined position when the rubber cap is put on the beverage bottle, thereby improving the cap-putting effect of the rubber cap.

[0017] Preferably, the conveying member comprises a conveyor belt, and one end of the flapping plate close to the feeding end of the conveyor belt is inclined in a direction away from the beverage bottle.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, since the conveying member is always in motion, if the beverage bottle with the rubber cap already put on is conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt that is just close to the feeding end of the clapping plate, and the height of the rubber cap at this time is higher than the height of the clapping plate, the rubber cap may tilt after touching the clapping plate. At this time, by tilting the end of the clapping plate close to the feeding end of the conveyor belt away from the beverage bottle, a certain height space can be provided for the rubber cap to reduce the possibility of tipping over when touched, thereby reducing the impact on the tapping effect of the rubber cap after the beverage bottle tips over.

[0019] Preferably, one end of the beating plate close to the discharge end of the conveyor belt is rounded.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the end of the beating plate close to the discharge end of the conveyor belt to be chamfered, the possibility of scratches on the surface after the rubber cap abuts against the edge of the end of the beating plate close to the discharge end of the conveyor belt can be reduced.

[0021] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with an adjusting component for adjusting the height of the flapping component.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, in the beverage industry, beverage bottles of different heights will be produced according to demand. For different heights of beverage bottles, the height of the flapping plate is also different. By providing an adjustment component, the flapping mechanism can be adapted to beverage bottles of different heights.

[0023] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment frame arranged on the mounting frame, a screw rod rotatably connected to the adjustment frame, a guide rod parallel to the length direction of the screw rod, and a rotating member driving the screw rod to rotate, the screw rod is threaded with a slider, the guide rod is slidably inserted into the slider, and the slider is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating part is started to drive the rotation of the screw rod, so that the slider moves along the length direction of the screw rod to adjust the height of the second mounting plate fixedly connected to the slider, that is, adjust the height position of the flapping plate, thereby realizing the flapping of the rubber caps on beverage bottles of different heights.

[0025] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The beverage bottle with the rubber cap is slapped by the driving member and the slapping plate, so that the rubber cap is moved toward the beverage bottle to reduce the possibility of a gap between the position of the rubber cap and the predetermined position when the rubber cap is put on the beverage bottle, thereby improving the capping effect of the rubber cap.

[0027] 2. By tilting the end of the beating plate close to the feeding end of the conveyor belt away from the beverage bottle, a certain height space can be provided for the rubber cap to reduce the possibility of tipping over due to contact, thereby reducing the impact on the beating effect of the rubber cap due to the tipping over of the beverage bottle.

[0028] 3. The patting mechanism is adapted to beverage bottles of different heights by providing an adjustment component. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
