Bottle cap counting device

Abstract

According to the bottle cap counting device provided by the utility model, when a specific number of bottle caps are packaged, compared with a weighing and metering mode, the bottle cap counting device does not influence the accuracy of the packaging number due to the difference of production batches of products, the difference of production raw materials and the difference of packaging boxes. In addition, due to the fact that the material blocking air cylinder can drive the material blocking rod to prevent the bottle caps newly falling onto the material storage conveying belt from the material counting conveying belt from being conveyed into the packaging box by the material storage conveying belt, after the packaging box completes loading of the bottle caps with the specific number, the bottle caps can be stored in the material storage conveying belt. The packing box can be uninterruptedly packed without pausing the counting conveying belt or the work of the production line to wait for moving away the packing box and moving another empty packing box, so that the packing efficiency of the production line is improved; the utility model belongs to the technical field of automation equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this specific embodiment provides a bottle cap counting device, which includes a counting conveyor belt 1 and a frame 2. The head end of the counting conveyor belt 1 is used to connect with the bottle cap production line. The counting conveyor belt 1 is provided with a counting electric eye 11. The frame 2 is installed with a storage conveyor belt 21 and a material blocking cylinder 3. The storage conveyor belt 21 is located below the end of the counting conveyor belt 1. A packaging box 4 is provided below the end of the storage conveyor belt 21. The material blocking cylinder 3 drives a material blocking rod 31 located above the storage conveyor belt 21 and moves. The blocking rod 31 is close to the upper wall of the storage conveyor belt 21, and the gap between the blocking rod 31 and the storage conveyor belt 21 is smaller than the thickness of the bottle caps. When the counting electric eye 11 counts that the counting conveyor belt 1 has sent a set number of bottle caps to the storage conveyor belt 21, the storage conveyor belt 21 sends the bottle caps above it into the packing box 4. At the same time, the blocking cylinder 3 drives the blocking rod 31 to prevent the bottle caps newly dropped from the counting conveyor belt 1 to the storage conveyor belt 21 from being sent to the packing box 4 by the storage conveyor belt 21.

[0019] When packing a specific number of bottle caps, the bottle cap counting device, relative to the weighing method, will not affect the accuracy of the packing quantity due to differences in product production batches, differences in production raw materials, and differences in packing boxes 4. In addition, since the material blocking cylinder 3 can drive the material blocking rod 31 to block the bottle caps newly dropped from the material counting conveyor belt 1 onto the material storage conveyor belt 21 from being sent to the packing box 4 by the material storage conveyor belt 21, when the packing box 4 completes loading of a specific number of bottle caps, there is no need to pause the material counting conveyor belt 1 or the production line to wait for the packing box 4 to be removed and another empty packing box 4 to be moved in, that is, uninterrupted packing can be achieved, thereby improving the packing efficiency of the production line.

[0020] In another embodiment, the material blocking cylinder 3 is arranged above the material storage conveyor belt 21, and the material blocking cylinder 3 drives the material blocking rod 31 to descend to close to the material storage conveyor belt 21, so as to prevent the bottle caps newly falling from the material counting conveyor belt 1 to the material storage conveyor belt 21 from being sent into the packing box 4 by the material storage conveyor belt 21.

[0021] In this embodiment, the bottle cap counting device further includes a box packing conveying device 41 for transferring a plurality of packing boxes 4 one by one to the lower end of the storage conveyor belt 21 .

[0022] After the packing box 4 is loaded with a specific number of bottle caps, the packing box 4 can be moved to a storage point by the packing conveyor device 41. At the same time, the packing conveyor device 41 can transport the next empty packing box 4 to the bottom of the end of the storage conveyor belt 21 to further improve the packing efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0023] In this embodiment, the packing conveying device 41 is provided with an arrival detection sensor 42 for detecting whether the packing box 4 is in place below the end of the storage conveyor belt 21; to ensure that the packing conveying device 41 can accurately transfer the empty packing box 4 to the bottom of the end of the storage conveyor belt 21.

[0024] In this embodiment, guide plates 22 are fixed on both sides of the upper side of the storage conveyor belt 21 to guide the bottle caps to the center of the end of the storage conveyor belt 21. When the width of the packing box 4 is smaller than the storage conveyor belt 2, the guide plates 22 can guide the bottle caps on the storage conveyor belt 21 to the center of the end of the storage conveyor belt 21, so that the storage conveyor belt 21 can more stably deliver the caps to the packing box 4.

[0025] In some embodiments, the frame 2 is equipped with a slide rail 32, on which slide a material blocking rack 33 that is transmission-connected to the material blocking cylinder 3 is slid, the right end shaft of the material blocking rod 31 is connected to the material blocking rack 33, the material blocking rack 33 is equipped with a motor 35 and an arc-shaped slide rail 36, the motor 35 is transmission-connected to the right end of the material blocking rod 31, the center of the arc-shaped slide rail 36 is located at the right end of the material blocking rod 31, and the left end of the material blocking rod 31 is equipped with a slider 37 that cooperates with the arc-shaped slide rail 36.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in the initial state, the right end of the blocking rod 31 is close to the first guide plate 22, and the left end of the blocking rod 31 is close to the second guide plate 22; when the counting electric eye 11 counts that the material counting conveyor belt 1 sends a set number of bottle caps to the storage conveyor belt 21, the blocking cylinder 3 drives the blocking frame 33 to slide on the slide rail 32, and the blocking frame 33 drives the right end of the blocking rod 31 to be close to the second guide plate 22, and the left end of the blocking rod 31 is close to the second guide plate 22, and then the electric eye 11 counts that the material counting conveyor belt 1 sends a set number of bottle caps to the storage conveyor belt 21. The right end of the material blocking rod 31 of the machine 35 rotates, and the right end of the material blocking rod 31 drives the left end of the material blocking rod 31 to swing on the arc slide rail 36. At this time, the left end of the material blocking rod 31 passes under the end of the material counting conveyor belt 1 and moves close to the first material guide plate 22; then, the storage conveyor belt 21 sends the bottle caps above it to the packaging box 4, and at the same time, the material blocking rod 31 prevents the bottle caps newly dropped from the material counting conveyor belt 1 to the storage conveyor belt 21 from being sent to the packaging box 4 by the storage conveyor belt 21.
