Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic cover opening, in particular to an automatic cover opening device. Background Art

[0002] The automatic capping device is an important part of automated packaging and production line equipment. It integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines such as mechanical design, automated control, and sensor technology. It aims to achieve an efficient and precise bottle cap removal process to improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] With the continuous development of industrialization and automation technology, various industries have increasingly higher requirements for production efficiency and product quality. In the traditional manual or semi-automatic production mode, manual operations such as uncovering and sealing are not only inefficient, but also prone to errors, affecting product quality and consistency. When the automatic capping device covers the glass bottles with stainless steel caps, the efficiency is improved and the personnel are optimized. However, after the glass bottles are baked, they still need to be manually uncovered, which does not meet the requirements of automated production and increases the cost of human resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an automatic cover-opening device to solve the problems of low efficiency, high labor cost, easy error, influence on product quality and great safety hazard of manual cover-opening in the prior art.

[0005] The embodiment of the utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] The embodiment of the utility model provides an automatic cover opening device, which includes a conveying pipeline;

[0007] A vacuum conveyor is provided at one end of the conveying pipeline, the vacuum conveyor is fixedly connected to the one end of the conveying pipeline, the vacuum conveyor and the one end of the conveying pipeline are coaxial and interpenetrating, and a conveyor belt is provided at the lower part of the vacuum conveyor;

[0008] The vacuum conveyor is fixedly connected with a photoelectric sensor and a compressed air pipeline, and the compressed air pipeline is provided with a solenoid valve for controlling the opening and closing of the compressed air pipeline.

[0009] During use, when the conveyor belt transports the glass bottles to the bottom of the photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor detects the glass bottles and identifies whether the glass bottles pass through. Once it is identified that the glass bottles pass through the photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor transmits a signal to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve opens the solenoid valve upon receiving the signal transmitted by the photoelectric sensor. At this time, the compressed air pipeline continuously transports compressed air to the vacuum conveyor. The vacuum conveyor generates negative pressure under the action of the compressed air, and continuously absorbs the glass bottle caps passing through the bottom of the vacuum conveyor. The absorbed bottle caps are exported from the conveying pipeline for temporary storage, thereby realizing recycling. When the photoelectric sensor does not detect that the glass bottles pass through, the solenoid valve is closed, and no compressed air enters the vacuum conveyor through the compressed air pipeline, thereby causing the vacuum conveyor to generate no negative pressure, and thus no suction. At this time, the device is in standby mode. Once the photoelectric sensor detects that the glass bottles pass through, the device will repeat the above steps.

[0010] The automatic capping device disclosed in the present embodiment controls the compressed air entering the vacuum conveyor through the solenoid valve, thereby controlling whether the vacuum conveyor generates suction. The bottle caps on the glass bottles are sucked by the suction generated by the vacuum conveyor, thereby realizing automatic recovery and recycling of the bottle caps. As a result, the automatic capping device has the beneficial effects of improved production efficiency, low labor costs, less error-prone, guaranteed product quality, less safety hazards and improved automation level.

[0011] Optionally: the photoelectric sensor is located on the side of the vacuum conveyor close to the glass bottle transmission direction.

[0012] With such arrangement, when the glass bottle moves below the photoelectric sensor along the moving direction of the conveyor belt, the photoelectric sensor will sense the bottle cap on the glass bottle at the first time, which is conducive to the vacuum conveyor slightly behind to generate negative pressure and continuously absorb the bottle cap.

[0013] Optionally, one end of the compressed air pipeline close to the vacuum conveyor passes through the vacuum conveyor.

[0014] Such arrangement enables the bottle caps sucked by the vacuum conveyor to leave the conveyor belt through the compressed air pipe, thereby facilitating their recycling and reuse.

[0015] Optionally: a gantry is further provided at one end of the conveying pipeline, the lower part of the gantry is fixedly connected to the two side walls of the conveyor belt, and the vacuum conveyor and the photoelectric sensor are both fixedly connected to the top of the gantry.

[0016] With such arrangement, the gantry plays a supporting role and can support the vacuum conveyor, the photoelectric sensor and one end of the conveying pipe, so that the vacuum conveyor, the photoelectric sensor and one end of the conveying pipe are all suspended on the upper part of the conveyor belt, thereby facilitating the adsorption and recovery of the bottle caps of the glass bottles.

[0017] Optionally, the door frame has a cross beam, and two ends of the cross beam are respectively provided with a first vertical rod and a second vertical rod, the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are parallel to each other and spaced apart, and one end of the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod close to the cross beam are respectively vertically connected to the two ends of the cross beam;

[0018] The vacuum conveyor and the photoelectric sensor are both fixedly connected to the crossbeam.

[0019] With such arrangement, the gantry can support the vacuum conveyor, the photoelectric sensor and one end of the conveying pipeline without affecting the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0020] Optionally: a temporary storage bucket is provided at the other end of the above-mentioned conveying pipeline, and the above-mentioned temporary storage bucket is detachably connected to the other end of the above-mentioned conveying pipeline.

[0021] With such arrangement, the temporary storage barrel can collect the bottle caps transported by the conveying pipeline, making it convenient for the staff to reuse the collected bottle caps, which is beneficial to reducing production costs and energy consumption levels.

[0022] Optionally: the conveying pipeline has a first pipeline and a second pipeline, the first pipeline and the second pipeline are parallel to each other, a third pipeline is provided between the same end of the first pipeline and the second pipeline, and both ends of the third pipeline are fixedly connected to the first pipeline and the second pipeline respectively.

[0023] With such arrangement, a U-shaped structure is formed by the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe, which is convenient for arrangement on the conveyor belt and at the same time effectively reduces the floor space occupied by the equipment.

[0024] Optionally, arc-shaped pipes are fixedly connected to the connection points between the third pipe and the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0025] With such arrangement, the arc-shaped tube facilitates the bottle cap to move smoothly inside the conveying pipe, thereby effectively avoiding the clogging of the conveying pipe.

[0026] Optionally: a clamping ring is fixedly connected to the second pipe, and an outer wall of the clamping ring is fixedly connected to a side wall of the conveyor belt for conveying glass bottles.

[0027] With such arrangement, the clamping ring plays a role in fixing the second pipeline, effectively preventing the second pipeline from vibrating during the process of conveying the bottle caps, preventing the conveying pipeline from being damaged, and thus extending the service life of the conveying pipeline.

[0028] Optionally: a plurality of support frames are vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor belt, and the solenoid valve is fixedly connected to any one of the support frames.

[0029] Such an arrangement is conducive to the installation of the solenoid valve, and at the same time regularizes the layout of the compressed air pipeline, effectively avoiding damage to the compressed air pipeline, and the overall equipment is neat and beautiful.

[0030] In summary, the automatic cover-opening device disclosed by the utility model has the beneficial effects of improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, being less prone to errors, ensuring product quality, reducing safety hazards and improving the level of automation.
