Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of operating transport devices, in particular to a tracking type cover grabbing system. Background Art

[0002] The capping machine is a device used to automatically close the bottle cap, which is usually used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. This machine can automatically place the cap on the bottle mouth and close it to ensure the sealing and hygienic safety of the product. The capping machine usually includes the following main parts: Feeding system: a system for conveying the bottle to be closed to the working position of the capping machine. Capping part: including the cap supply device and the closing device, which are used to place the cap on the bottle mouth and perform the closing action. Control system: used to control the workflow and parameters of the entire capping machine to ensure the accuracy and stability of the operation. Frame structure: used to support the structure of the entire equipment to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment. The working principle of the capping machine is to accurately place the cap on the bottle mouth and perform the closing action through automated mechanical action, which can usually be adjusted according to the different shapes and sizes of the bottle. The application of this equipment can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce manual operation, and ensure product quality and hygiene standards.

[0003] For example, the patent with publication number CN117842912A proposes an automatic loading glass bottle aluminum capping machine, which directly transports glass bottles and aluminum caps to the position of the positioning component through a conveyor belt, eliminating the current steps and costs of positioning and transporting glass bottles through a turntable.

[0004] However, the existing capping machines often have a single function and can only complete the capping and installation of bottle caps. In some application scenarios, such as baking the surface of packaging bottles, it is mainly completed by pasting flower paper and then baking and heating it in a baking furnace to solidify the color of the flower paper. In order to prevent dust and impurities from falling into the bottle body during the baking process, it is necessary to temporarily install a baked cover on the packaging bottle during the secondary process and remove it after the baking is completed. The existing capping machines can only complete the capping process, and the process of removing the cover still requires manual removal after cooling, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
