DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical scheme of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the utility model and implement it, but the examples given are not intended to limit the utility model. In the present embodiments, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", and "outside" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the utility model, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the utility model.

[0032] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element and integrated therewith, or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "installed", "one end", "the other end" and similar expressions used in this utility model are for illustrative purposes only.

[0033] This embodiment provides a cover supply device, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a base frame 1, a material box 2, a conveying unit and a power unit. The conveying unit is vertically fixed on the base frame 1, the material box 2 is fixed at the bottom of the conveying unit, and the bottom of the conveying unit extends into the material box 2. The material box 2 is used to store bottle caps. The power unit is fixed on the conveying unit and is used to drive the conveying unit to convey the bottle caps in the material box 2 from the top of the conveying unit. The top of the conveying unit is used to dock with the main body of the capping machine.

[0034] The cap supply device of this embodiment is provided with a seat frame 1, and the conveying unit is vertically fixed on the seat frame 1. The top of the conveying unit is used to connect with the main body of the capping machine, thereby providing a cap supply device independent of the main body of the capping machine, which can be applied to other capping machine main bodies as a whole without complicated disassembly and assembly operations. The bottom of the conveying unit extends into the material box 2, and the material box 2 is fixed to the bottom of the conveying unit, which greatly reduces the height of the material box 2 from the ground, making it more convenient for workers to replenish and check bottle caps. Therefore, the problem that the cap supply mechanism on the existing capping machine is directly fixed on the main body of the capping machine, resulting in a high height and inconvenient disassembly and assembly and replenishment of bottle caps, can be solved.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the cap supply device further comprises a channel adjusting unit, which is connected to the conveying unit and is used to adjust the width of the conveying channel of the conveying unit, so as to be suitable for the transmission of bottle caps with different diameters.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the channel adjustment unit includes a baffle 3, and the conveying unit includes a conveying frame 4. The conveying channel is located on the conveying frame 4. One side of the conveying frame 4 is provided with one or more adjustment rods 5 at intervals along the conveying channel, and one end of the adjustment rod 5 is axially movably connected to the conveying frame 4, and the other end is connected to the baffle 3, and the baffle 3 is arranged on the conveying channel along the extension direction of the conveying channel. In this embodiment, the baffle 3 divides the conveying channel into two in the width direction. By axially adjusting the adjustment rod 5, the baffle 3 can be pulled to move, thereby changing the distance between the baffle 3 and one side of the conveying channel to adapt to the bottle cap of the corresponding diameter. Among them, the number of the adjustment rods 5 can be appropriately selected according to the length of the baffle 3 to ensure the consistency of the channel width. As an example, the adjustment rod 5 can be a threaded straight rod, and a seat plate 6 is correspondingly provided on the conveying frame 4. The threaded straight rod is threadedly connected to the seat plate 6, and the axial movement is achieved by rotating the threaded straight rod, thereby driving the baffle 3 to move.

[0037] A recovery channel 7 is provided on the other side of the conveying frame 4, the inlet of the recovery channel 7 is connected to the conveying channel, and the outlet of the recovery channel 7 is connected to the material box 2;

[0038] A distance sensor 8 and an air outlet pipe 9 corresponding to the distance sensor 8 are provided on the baffle 3. The distance sensor 8 and the air outlet pipe 9 both face the inlet of the recovery channel 7. The distance sensor 8 is also used to communicate with the control system of the capping machine. The control system controls whether the air outlet pipe 9 discharges air according to the data sent by the distance sensor 8.

[0039] The bottle cap has a relative flat surface and a concave surface. When the bottle cap is attached to the conveying channel, the distance sensor 8 can obtain the closest distance between it and the bottle cap. By judging the closest distance, it can be judged whether the flat surface of the bottle cap is in contact with the surface of the conveying channel. The control system is preset with the closest distance corresponding to this type of bottle cap. When the control system receives data from the distance sensor 8 and judges that it does not meet the preset closest distance value, it will control the air outlet pipe 9 to blow the bottle cap into the recovery channel 7 and then fall back into the material box 2 to achieve screening. More than two distance sensors 8 can be set along the conveying direction of the conveying channel, and the air outlet pipe 9 is also set accordingly, so as to improve the success rate of screening and reduce the probability of passing unqualified bottle caps. Furthermore, an air source processor 10 is set on the seat frame 1. After the air pipe passes through the air source processor 10, it extends to the inlet of the recovery channel 7. The air source processor 10 can filter impurities such as water and oil in the gas in the air pipe, thereby preventing the bottle cap from being contaminated by gas.

[0040] A stopper plate 11 is provided at the lower end of the baffle 3 to prevent the bottle caps in the material box 2 from being lifted and transported to the conveying channel on the same side as the adjusting rod 5. The conveying frame 4 is provided with a narrowing plate 12 that fits the conveying channel at the stopper plate 11. The narrowing plate 12 is used to limit the number of bottle caps that can pass through at the same time. The narrowing plate 12 can move along the width direction of the conveying channel to adjust the width of the channel opening to accommodate bottle caps of different diameters. As an example, specifically, the conveying frame 4 is provided with a strip through hole 13 (not shown in the figure), and the narrowing plate 12 is detachably connected to the conveying frame 4 through a bolt that passes through the strip through hole 13, thereby realizing the movement of the narrowing plate 12; the narrowing plate 12 is a right-angled trapezoid, and its hypotenuse is inverted on the conveying channel. Through its acute angle, a channel section that shrinks in the conveying direction can be formed, thereby playing the role of making the bottle caps queue up from the material box 2 to avoid congestion and disorder.

[0041] In another preferred embodiment, the conveying unit includes a strip-shaped conveying frame 4 and an annular conveying belt 14, and rollers 15 (not shown in the figure) are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the conveying frame 4, and a magnetic suction plate 16 is arranged between the rollers 15 at both ends of the conveying frame 4. The conveying belt 14 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rollers 15 at both ends and is tensioned, and the magnetic suction plate 16 is in contact with the conveying belt 14; the function of the magnetic suction plate 16 is to magnetically suck the bottle caps onto the conveying belt 14. Specifically, the magnetic suction plate 16 is evenly spaced along the conveying direction of the conveying belt 14. A plurality of magnetic suction holes 17 are embedded in the magnetic suction holes 17. The magnets can form an uninterrupted magnetic field in the conveying direction, thereby ensuring that the bottle caps are magnetically sucked onto the conveying belt. The conveyor belt 14 moves continuously along the conveyor belt 14. It should be noted that the spacing between the magnetic holes 17 should not be too large. The spacing should be determined accordingly considering the magnetic field range of the magnet to ensure the continuity of the magnetic field; preferably, the bottom area of ​​the magnetic plate 16 extends into the material box 2, and the area where the magnetic plate 16 is located outside the material box 2 is the upper area. The upper area of ​​the magnetic plate 16 is provided with a row of magnetic holes 17 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 14, and the row of magnetic holes 17 is located on the side of the conveying channel of the conveyor belt 14. The bottom area of ​​the magnetic plate 16 is provided with multiple rows of magnetic holes 17 at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 14, which can ensure that a sufficient number of bottle caps are provided for the upper area, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0042] A transition frame 18 is provided on one side of the top of the conveyor frame 4, and the transition frame 18 is provided with a transition channel 180 inclined downward. One end of the transition channel 180 is connected to the conveyor belt 14, and the other end is used to connect with the capping machine body. An arc-shaped guide plate 19 is also provided on the other side of the top of the conveyor frame 4. The guide plate 19 is used to guide the bottle caps to the transition channel 180.

[0043] Furthermore, the base frame 1 is provided with an adjustment component, which is connected to the conveying frame 4 and is used to adjust the height of the conveying unit, so that the height of the transition frame 18 can be adjusted to meet the needs of different docking heights of the capping machine. For example, when packaging bottles of different heights, after the capping machine is adjusted in height, the cap supply device is adjusted in height accordingly to achieve smooth docking between the capping machine and the cap supply device.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the conveying frame 4 is transversely provided with a first crossbar 20 and a second crossbar 21 which are parallel to each other, and the second crossbar 21 is located below the first crossbar 20.

[0046] The seat frame 1 is provided with sleeves 25 on both sides of the adjusting rod 22, and a guide rod 26 is provided in the sleeve 25, which penetrates along the axial direction and is slidably connected with the sleeve 25.
