[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] The core of the utility model is to provide a bottle cap protective sleeve removing device to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 A bottle cap protective cover removal device comprises a first conveyor line 1 and a second conveyor line 2, wherein the first conveyor line 1 is used to convey bottle bodies 4, and the second conveyor line 2 is used to clamp and convey protective covers 5. The conveying speed of the second conveyor line 2 is the same as that of the first conveyor line 1, and an angle is provided at the overlapping position of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. When the first conveyor line 1 drives the bottle bodies 4 to move to the overlapping position of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the second conveyor line 2 clamps and conveys the protective covers 5 on the bottle bodies 4, and under the action of the angle between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the bottle bodies 4 and the protective covers 5 are separated.

[0034] During operation, the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1 are driven by the driving motor to move, so that the first conveyor line 1 can convey the bottle body 4. At this time, a protective cover 5 is installed on the bottle body 4. When the first conveyor line 1 drives the bottle body 4 to move to the overlapping position of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the second conveyor line 2 clamps the protective cover 5 on the bottle body 4. In other words, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 convey the bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5 respectively. At the same time, the conveying speed of the second conveyor line 2 is the same as that of the first conveyor line 1, so as to ensure that the bottle body 4 does not tilt during the conveying process. An angle is provided at the overlapping part of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, that is, there is a structure that is away from each other at one end of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Therefore, when the first conveyor line 1 drives the bottle body 4 to move to the position where the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 have an angle, the bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5 will be away from each other, thereby realizing the separation of the bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5. The bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5 can be separated quickly and continuously, avoiding the need for workers to perform manual separation, improving work efficiency, and reducing labor costs at the same time. The device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and good use effect.

[0035] It should be noted that the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the first conveyor line 1. It only needs to be able to convey the bottle body 4. In some embodiments, the first conveyor line 1 can use a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor, or a bottle clamping conveyor or other conveying equipment.

[0036] In addition, the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the second conveyor line 2. It only needs to be able to clamp and convey the protective cover. In some embodiments, the second conveyor line 2 can be implemented by two parallel belt conveyors or chain conveyors.

[0037] In some embodiments, other ways of clamping the protective cover 5 may also be used, for example, multiple slots that cooperate with the protective cover 5 are equidistantly installed on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt drives the slots to move. When the slots cooperate with the protective cover 5, the protective cover 5 is separated from the bottle body 4.

[0038] In addition, the angle between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 is not limited, as long as the bottle body 4 and the protective cover can be completely separated.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first conveyor line 1 adopts a bottle clamping conveyor, that is, the bottle body 4 is conveyed by the bottle clamping conveyor, thereby preventing the bottle body 4 from being skewed during the conveyance process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second conveyor line 2 includes two identical clamping conveyor belts 201, and is located on both sides of the bottle body 4. The minimum spacing between the two clamping conveyor belts 201 is smaller than the diameter of the protective cover 5. When the protective cover 5 moves to the gap between the two clamping conveyor belts 201, the two clamping conveyor belts 201 clamp the protective cover 5. That is to say, through two parallel clamping conveyor belts 201, when the bottle mouth of the bottle body 4 passes through the two parallel clamping conveyor belts 201, the protective cover 5 will be clamped by the two clamping conveyor belts 201 and move with the clamping conveyor belts 201 to achieve clamping and conveying of the protective cover 5.

[0041] It should be noted that the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the material of the clamping conveyor belt 201. In some embodiments, materials such as rubber, silicone or sponge can be used. Rubber, silicone or sponge have strong friction, thereby improving its stability when clamping the protective cover 5.

[0042] In addition, the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the distance between the two clamping conveyor belts 201. In some embodiments, the distance between the two clamping conveyor belts 201 can be fixed or variable.

[0043] The specific structure of the variable spacing method is not limited. In some embodiments, it can be adjusted by a threaded structure. For example, a screw is provided above the two clamping conveyor belts 201, and the screw is threadedly matched with the mounting brackets of the two clamping conveyor belts 201, so that the spacing between the two clamping conveyor belts 201 can be adjusted by rotating the screw. Alternatively, a driving member such as a cylinder is provided on both sides of the two clamping conveyor belts 201, and the spacing between the two clamping conveyor belts 201 is adjusted by controlling the cylinder. By adopting the variable spacing method, the diameters of different protective sleeves 5 can be quickly adjusted to improve the versatility of the device, and the protective sleeve 5 with a smaller diameter has stronger clamping stability.

[0044] In some embodiments, the clamping conveyor belt 201 is made of sponge material, and the contact surface between the clamping conveyor belt 201 and the protective cover 5 is provided with anti-slip texture. That is to say, by making the clamping conveyor belt 201 of sponge material, the friction between it and the protective cover 5 is improved, and the elasticity of the clamping conveyor belt 201 can also be improved, so that it can be deformed when it contacts the protective cover 5 to increase its contact area. At the same time, anti-slip texture is provided on the clamping conveyor belt 201 to further improve its anti-slip effect and increase the clamping stability of the protective cover 5.

[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific shape of the anti-slip lines. In some embodiments, the anti-slip lines can be in the shape of waves, strips or dots.

[0046] In some embodiments, a tensioning mechanism is included to tension the two clamping conveyor belts 201 toward one side. That is, by setting a tensioning structure, the clamping conveyor belts 201 are tightened to enhance the clamping effect on the protective cover 5 and avoid the situation where the protective cover 5 cannot be removed normally due to looseness.

[0047] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific structure of the tensioning mechanism. In some embodiments, the tensioning mechanism can improve the tensioning effect of the clamping conveyor belt 201 by setting the rollers on both sides of the clamping conveyor belt 201 to be elastic, or a tensioning wheel can be set on the mounting bracket of the clamping conveyor belt 201 to tension the clamping conveyor belt 201 through the tensioning wheel.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In order to further improve the stability of the bottle body 4 during movement, in some embodiments, the bottle clamping conveyor includes a positioning conveyor belt 101 that contacts the bottle body 4 and is located on both sides of the bottle body 4. When the bottle body 4 moves to the gap between the two positioning conveyor belts 101, the relative fixation of the position of the bottle body 4 and the positioning conveyor belt 101 is achieved. The positioning conveyor belt 101 includes a plurality of elastic positioning protrusions 102 distributed along the positioning conveyor belt 101. That is to say, the bottle body 4 is positioned by the positioning conveyor belts 101 on both sides, and under the action of the positioning protrusions 102, the bottle body 4 is further prevented from being skewed, thereby improving the effect of the bottle body 4 during transportation.

[0049] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific shape of the protrusion. In some embodiments, the protrusion can be in a hemispherical, strip-shaped or spherical shape.

[0050] In addition, the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the connection method between the protrusion and the positioning conveyor belt 101. In some embodiments, the protrusion can be integrally formed with the positioning conveyor belt 101, or fixed by gluing or the like.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning protrusion 102 is brush-shaped, that is, the positioning protrusion 102 adopts a brush-shaped structure, and the burrs thereon increase the contact area with the bottle body 4, while also being able to adapt to the shape of the bottle body 4, thereby improving the fixing effect of the bottle body 4. The positioning protrusion 102 is made of silicone material and is integrally formed with the positioning conveyor belt 101. The silicone material further improves the anti-slip property.

[0052] It should be noted that the description of the protrusions made of silicone material in the embodiments of the present invention is not a fixed limitation, and other materials such as rubber or sponge may also be used.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to further improve the degree of automation when the equipment is used, in some embodiments, a collecting tank 3 is also included, located at the end of the second conveyor line 2, for collecting the protective cover 5. That is to say, by installing the collecting tank 3 at the conveying end of the second conveyor line 2, when the protective cover 5 is conveyed to the top of the collecting tank 3 by the second conveyor line 2, it will directly fall into the collecting tank 3, thereby improving the degree of automation when the equipment is used.

[0054] It should be noted that the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the collection tank 3. In some embodiments, it can adopt a strip groove structure and be tilted. When the protective cover 5 falls onto the collection tank 3, it will move along the collection tank 3. A collection frame is placed at the end of the collection tank 3 to collect the removed protective cover 5 for reuse.

[0055] In some embodiments, the distance between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 is adjustable, that is, by adjusting the distance between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the device can be used with bottles 4 of different heights, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the device.

[0056] It should be noted that the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the spacing adjustment. It only needs to be able to adjust the spacing between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2.

[0057] Among them, the cylinder can be used to drive the second conveyor line 2 to move, so as to adjust the distance between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Alternatively, a lead screw and a lead screw slider are used, the lead screw slider is fixed on the mounting frame of the second conveyor line 2, and the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame of the first conveyor line 1, and the distance between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 is adjusted by rotating the lead screw.

[0058] When in use, the second conveyor line 2 and the first conveyor line 1 are driven by the driving motor to move, so that the first conveyor line 1 can convey the bottle body 4. At this time, a protective cover 5 is installed on the bottle body 4. When the first conveyor line 1 drives the bottle body 4 to move to the overlapping position of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, the second conveyor line 2 clamps the protective cover 5 on the bottle body 4. In other words, the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 convey the bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5 respectively. At the same time, the conveying speed of the second conveyor line 2 is the same as that of the first conveyor line 1, so as to ensure that the bottle body 4 does not tilt during the conveying process. An angle is provided at the overlapping part of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2, that is, there is a structure that is away from each other at one end of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. Therefore, when the first conveyor line 1 drives the bottle body 4 to move to the position where the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2 have an angle, the bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5 will be away from each other, thereby realizing the separation of the bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5. The bottle body 4 and the protective cover 5 can be separated quickly and continuously, avoiding the need for workers to perform manual separation, improving work efficiency, and reducing labor costs at the same time. The device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and good use effect.

[0059] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0060] The above is a detailed introduction to a bottle cap protective cover removal device provided by the utility model. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation method of the utility model. The description of the above embodiment is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the utility model, the utility model can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
