[0025] As mentioned in the background art, in view of the problems in the prior art, the present embodiment provides a cap screwing device for preventing dropping, including:

[0026] A frame 1, on the top of the frame 1 is fixed a cam 2, on the outer circumference of the cam 2 is provided a guiding chute 21, the guiding chute 21 has a first horizontal section 211, a first descending section 212, a second horizontal section 213, a first ascending section 214 and a second descending section 215 that are connected end to end in sequence. The first horizontal section 211 has a concave working position 2111. Around the cam 2 on the top of the frame 1 is provided a fixed ring 3, on the inner wall of the fixed ring 3 is provided an internal gear ring 31. On the frame 1 is also provided a driving mechanism;

[0027] A main shaft 4, the main shaft 4 is rotatably connected between the cam 2 and the bottom of the frame 1 in the vertical direction and can rotate self - clockwise in the first rotation direction under the drive of the driving mechanism; A rotating body 5 is sleeved on the main shaft 4, a plurality of screwing mechanisms 51 are circumferentially arranged on the rotating body 5. The top end of the screwing mechanism 51 is slidably matched with the guiding chute 21, and its bottom end has a grasping part 511 for grasping the cap. A transmission gear 52 is sleeved on the screwing mechanism 51 above the rotating body 5. Between the transmission gear 52 and the internal gear ring 31 on the rotating body 5 is engaged a transition gear 53;

[0028] A cap feeding mechanism, the cap feeding mechanism includes a rotating table 6, the rotating table 6 can rotate in the second rotation direction, the second rotation direction is opposite to the first rotation direction. A plurality of arc - shaped grooves are circumferentially arranged on the tabletop of the rotating table 6, and the arc - shaped grooves are used for placing caps; There is an intersecting part between the rotating table 6 and the rotating body 5 in the vertical direction, so that when the screwing mechanism 51 rotates with the rotating body 5, it can correspond to the arc - shaped grooves in the vertical direction, and thus the grasping part 511 can grasp the caps from the rotating table 6; On one side of the rotating table 6 is provided a support platform 7, and the support platform 7 is located in the rotation direction of the grasping part 511.

[0029] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first rotation direction is the direction for tightening the bottle cap, and the second rotation direction is the direction for loosening the bottle cap; the frame 1 is of a frame structure, including a top plate and a base, and support columns are connected between the top plate and the base; the cam 2 is fixed on the top plate, and a guiding chute 21 is provided on the outer circumference of the cam 2. The opening of the guiding chute 21 faces the circumference of the cam 2. Thrust ball bearings are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the guiding chute 21. The guiding chute 21 can guide the screwing mechanism 51. Its first horizontal section 211 is the process in which the screwing mechanism 51 grabs the bottle cap on the rotating table 6 and rotates in the horizontal direction. The first descending section 212 is the process in which the screwing mechanism 51 descends towards the bottle body while rotating and screws the bottle cap onto the bottle body. The second horizontal section 213 is the process in which the bottle cap and the bottle body are screwed until the screwing is completed. The first ascending section 214 is the process in which after the screwing action is completed, the screwing mechanism 51 ascends to a height higher than the rotating table 6 in the vertical direction. The second descending section 215 is the process in which the screwing mechanism 51 approaches the rotating table 6 and grabs the bottle cap through the grabbing part 511. A fixed ring 3 is provided around the cam 2. The fixed ring 3 is approximately a cylindrical shell and is fixed on the top plate. An internal gear ring 31 is provided on its inner circle. The driving mechanism is used to drive the operation of the entire device.

[0030] The main shaft 4 is arranged vertically between the cam 2 and the base, and can rotate in the first rotation direction under the drive of the driving mechanism. A rotating body 5 is sleeved on the main shaft 4. The rotating body 5 is of a cylindrical structure. A plurality of screwing mechanisms 51 are uniformly penetrated along the edge of its circumference on the rotating body 5. The screwing mechanism 51 is rotationally connected to the rotating body 5. Its top end is arranged between the two thrust ball bearings in the guiding chute 21, and its bottom end has a rubber bowl, that is, the above-mentioned grabbing part 511, which can be buckled with the bottle cap by pressing down on the bottle cap to achieve grabbing. A transmission gear 52 is sleeved on the screwing mechanism 51. An intermediate gear 53 is also meshed between each transmission gear 52 and the internal gear ring 31 on the rotating body 5. In this embodiment, the intermediate gear 53 adopts a double gear, which is respectively meshed with the internal gear ring 31 and the transmission gear 52, and is used to conduct torque and enable the screwing mechanism 51 to rotate around the main shaft 4 in the first rotation direction under the drive of the rotating body 5, and can also rotate in the first rotation direction by itself, so as to tighten the bottle cap on the bottle body.

[0031] The cap feeding mechanism is mainly used to convey bottle caps for the capping machine to grasp. The rotating table 6 is approximately cylindrical in structure and can rotate at the same speed as the rotating body 5. The inner contour of the arc-shaped groove on the rotating table 6 matches the outer contour of the bottle cap and is used to place the bottle cap. The rotating table 6 and the rotating body 5 have an intersection in the vertical direction, so that the rotation trajectory of the bottle cap on the rotating table 6 and the rotation trajectory of the screwing mechanism 51 have a coincidence point. Then, when the screwing mechanism 51 rotates to the coincidence point position, it can grasp the bottle cap on the rotating table 6. The supporting platform 7 and the rotating table 6 are at the same height in the vertical direction. When the screwing mechanism 51 rotates to the first horizontal section 211 of the guiding chute 21, the grasping part 511 of the screwing mechanism 51 grasps the bottle cap and rotates horizontally. When it rotates to the concave working position 2111, the grasping part 511 contacts the tabletop of the supporting platform 7 at this time. The screwing mechanism 51 then descends along the concave working position 2111 so that the bottle cap held by the grasping part 511 can be completely embedded in the rubber bowl under the action of the supporting platform 7.

[0032] During use, start the screwing device. The driving mechanism drives the main shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating body 5 rotates in the first rotation direction, and the rotating table 6 rotates in the second rotation direction. The screwing mechanism 51 rotates around the main shaft 4 driven by the rotating body 5. When the screwing mechanism 51 rotates to the first horizontal section 211 of the guiding chute 21, its grasping part 511 grasps the bottle cap and rotates horizontally. When it rotates to the concave working position 2111, the grasping part 511 slides and contacts the tabletop of the supporting platform 7 at this time. The screwing mechanism 51 descends along the concave working position 2111, and then the bottle cap is completely embedded in the rubber bowl under the action of the supporting platform 7.

[0033] By arranging the supporting platform 7 on one side of the rotating table 6 and setting the concave working position 2111 on the first horizontal section 211 of the guiding chute 21, the first horizontal section 211 is the process in which the screwing mechanism 51 grasps the bottle cap on the rotating table 6 and rotates horizontally. When the screwing mechanism 51 grasps the bottle cap and rotates to the position of the supporting platform 7, it can descend along the concave working position 2111 so that the bottle cap held by the grasping part 511 is completely embedded in the grasping part 511 under the action of the supporting platform 7, realizing the full grip state of the grasping part 511 on the bottle cap, thus avoiding the situation of the bottle cap falling or the screwing being incomplete.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes a slewing support 8. The slewing support 8 is located below the rotating body 5 and sleeved on the main shaft 4. A plurality of bottle brackets 81 are circumferentially and rotatably connected to the slewing support 8, and the plurality of bottle brackets 81 respectively correspond to the screwing mechanisms 51 one by one. A limiting mechanism 9 is also sleeved on the main shaft 4 between the rotating body 5 and the slewing support 8 and is used to relatively fix the bottle body and the bottle bracket 81.

[0035] As Figure 4As shown, the slewing bearing 8 is also a cylindrical structure. Along the circumferential edge of the slewing bearing 8, a plurality of bottle brackets 81 are evenly provided. The bottle bracket 81 and the screwing mechanism 51 correspond to each other in the vertical direction. A rubber pad is provided on the bearing plane of the bottle bracket 81 to increase the friction between the bearing plane and the bottom of the bottle. The limiting mechanism 9 includes a first turntable and a second turntable, which are sleeved on the main shaft 4 in the vertical direction. The outer circumferences of the first turntable and the second turntable are respectively provided with a first arc-shaped notch and a second arc-shaped notch. The first arc-shaped notch matches the contour of the bottleneck of the bottle, and the second arc-shaped notch matches the contour of the bottle body of the bottle, so as to limit the bottle body when screwing the bottle cap.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of bottle brackets 81 are respectively rotatably connected to the slewing bearing 8. A reverse friction block 82 is provided on one side of the bottle bracket 81. The reverse friction block 82 is in rolling contact with the side of the bottle bracket 81 close to each other, so that when the bottle bracket 81 rotates around the main shaft 4 driven by the slewing bearing 8 and passes through the reverse friction block 82, it rotates self - clockwise along the second rotation direction under the action of the reverse friction block 82. A one - way bearing 83 is also provided between the bottle bracket 81 and the slewing bearing 8, so that the bottle bracket 81 can only rotate self - clockwise.

[0037] As Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of bottle brackets 81 are respectively rotatably connected to the slewing bearing 8. The reverse friction block 82 is provided on one side of the bottle bracket 81 and is located on the stroke where the screwing mechanism 51 screws the bottle cap and the bottle body. When the bottle bracket 81 passes by, it can act on the bottle bracket 81 to make it rotate self - clockwise along the second rotation direction. The one - way bearing 83 can limit the rotation direction of the bottle bracket 81, so that the bottle bracket 81 can only rotate relative to the slewing bearing 8 along the second rotation direction, that is, the direction in which the bottle cap is tightened at the bottle mouth, to avoid when the internal thread of the bottle cap and the external thread of the bottle mouth are engaged to a certain extent, the shearing force applied by the screwing mechanism 51 to the bottle body through the bottle cap is greater than the friction force between the bottle body and the bottle bracket 81, and then the bottle body rotates with the bottle cap so that the bottle cap cannot be completely tightened with the bottle body.

[0038] By setting the rotatable bottle bracket 81 and providing a reverse friction block 82 that is in rolling contact with the bottle bracket 81 on one side of the bottle bracket 81, when the bottle bracket 81 rotates around the main shaft 4 driven by the slewing bearing 8 and passes through the reverse friction block 82, it rotates self - clockwise along the second rotation direction under the action of the reverse friction block 82. At the same time, when the screwing mechanism 51 rotates around the main shaft 4 driven by the rotating body 5, it rotates self - counterclockwise along the first rotation direction under the action of the internal gear ring 31 and the intermediate gear 53. When the screwing mechanism 51 grabs the bottle cap and descends to the bottle mouth for screwing, the bottle body and the bottle cap with opposite rotation directions can be rotationally matched to achieve quick recognition of the buckle, and avoid damage to the threads caused by the interaction between the bottle cap and the bottle mouth during the screwing process.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the reverse friction block 82 close to the bottle bracket 81 is an arc structure, and the bending direction of the arc structure faces away from the bottle bracket 81.

[0040] As Figure 4 shown, the reverse friction block 82 is a double-arc structure, and the contour of its side close to the bottle bracket 81 matches the rotation trajectory of the bottle bracket 81 around the main shaft 4. The reverse friction block 82 with the arc structure can better act on the bottle bracket 81 during the rotation process, causing it to rotate self in the second rotation direction.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the screwing mechanism 51 has an ejection part 513, and the ejection part 513 is used to eject the bottle cap stuck in the grasping part 511 after the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing action.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the screwing mechanism 51 has a first state and a second state. When in the first state, the ejection part 513 extends out of the grasping part 511, which can cause the bottle cap stuck in the grasping part 511 to fall off; when in the second state, the ejection part 513 retracts from the grasping part 511.

[0043] As Figure 5 shown, when the screwing mechanism 51 rises under the guidance of the guiding chute 21, the ejection part 513 can extend out of the grasping part 511 to eject the bottle cap stuck in the grasping part 511, that is, the above-mentioned first state. When the screwing mechanism 51 descends under the guidance of the guiding chute 21, the ejection part 513 retracts from the grasping part 511 into the screwing mechanism 51, and the grasping part 511 can normally grasp the bottle cap, that is, the above-mentioned second state.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the screwing mechanism 51 includes a bushing 512. The bushing 512 is disposed through the rotating body 5 and is rotatably connected to the rotating body 5. The top end of the bushing 512 is slidably matched with the guiding chute 21. Its bottom end is provided with a grasping part 511. An ejection part 513 is provided inside the bushing 512. An elastic member is connected to the outer periphery of the ejection part 513, and the free end of the elastic member is fixed to the inner wall of the bushing 512. A strip-shaped hole 514 is opened at a position on the bushing 512 close to the rotating body 5. The strip-shaped hole 514 extends in the vertical direction. A retaining ring 515 is provided below the rotating body 5. The retaining ring 515 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bushing 512 and is fixed to the ejection part 513 through the strip-shaped hole 514.

[0045] As Figure 5As shown, a fixed sleeve is further provided between the shaft sleeve 512 and the rotating body 5, and annular protrusions are provided at the upper and lower ends of the fixed sleeve, which can respectively abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating body 5, so that the fixed sleeve and the rotating body 5 are relatively fixed in the vertical direction, and a thrust ball bearing is provided between the fixed sleeve and the rotating body 5, so that the fixed sleeve can be rotatably connected with the rotating body 5, and the top of the fixed sleeve is fixed to the transmission gear 52; a sliding key is fixed on the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 512, and a keyway is provided on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve and the transmission gear 52, and the transmission gear 52 and the fixed sleeve are connected to the shaft through the sliding key. The sleeve 512 is connected to the transmission gear 52 and the fixed sleeve in a transmission connection, and the sleeve 512 can slide in the vertical direction inside the transmission gear 52 and the fixed sleeve; the top of the sleeve 512 is connected to the rotating shaft 516, and the top of the rotating shaft 516 is rotatably connected to the slider, which is arranged in the guide slot 21 and can slide with the guide slot 21; the ejection part 513 is a long round rod, which is arranged inside the sleeve 512 and extends in the vertical direction. A spring is connected to the outer wall of the ejection part 513, and the free end of the spring is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 512. A strip hole 514 is provided at the position of the rotating body 5, and the strip hole 514 extends in the vertical direction. A retaining ring 515 is provided under the rotating body 5. The retaining ring 515 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the shaft sleeve 512 and fixed to the ejection part 513 through the strip hole 514. The retaining ring 515 can slide along the shaft sleeve 512; when the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing action, it rises relative to the rotating body 5 under the guidance of the guide slot 21. The retaining ring 515 is limited by the rotating body 5 and cannot rise at the same time as the screwing mechanism 51. Then the ejection part 513 compresses the spring and is held by the grasping part 511. The gripping portion 511 extends out to eject the bottle cap stuck in the gripping portion 511, which can effectively prevent the bottle cap from being stuck in the gripping portion 511 when the screwing mechanism 51 has not completed the screwing operation, causing the gripping portion 511 to repeatedly grip the bottle cap; after the ejection is completed, the screwing mechanism 51 descends to prepare for the cap gripping operation, at which time the rotating body 5 releases the limit on the retaining ring 515, so that the ejecting portion 513 rises relative to the screwing mechanism 51 under the action of the spring elastic force, and the ejecting portion 513 is retracted into the shaft sleeve 512 by the gripping portion 511, and the screwing mechanism 51 can normally grip the bottle cap.

[0046] Working principle: Start the screwing device. The driving mechanism drives the main shaft 4 to rotate, driving the rotating body 5 and the rotating support 8 to rotate in the first rotation direction. The rotating table 6 of the cap feeding mechanism rotates in the second rotation direction under drive. Taking the screwing mechanism 51 located at the connection of the second horizontal section 213 and the first rising section 214 and its corresponding bottle bracket 81 as an example, at this time, the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing operation, and the grasping part 511 does not grasp the cap. Driven by the rotating body 5, the screwing mechanism 51 enters the first rising section 214 and rises relative to the rotating body 5 under the guidance of the guiding chute 21. The retaining ring 515 is limited by the rotating body 5 and cannot rise simultaneously with the screwing mechanism 51. Subsequently, the ejecting part 513 compresses the spring and extends from the grasping part 511, which can effectively prevent the cap from being stuck in the grasping part 511 and causing the grasping part 511 to repeatedly grasp the cap when the screwing mechanism 51 has not completed the cap screwing operation. Then, the screwing mechanism 51 enters the second descending section 215 and prepares for the cap grasping operation. At this time, the rotating body 5 releases the limit on the retaining ring 515, causing the ejecting part 513 to rise relative to the screwing mechanism 51 under the elastic force of the spring and retract into the bushing 512 from the grasping part 511. The screwing mechanism 51 descends so that the grasping part 511 contacts and grasps the cap on the rotating table 6. After grasping, the screwing mechanism 51 enters the first horizontal section 211. When the screwing mechanism 51 moves to the concave working position 2111 of the first horizontal section 211, the grasping part 511 contacts the tabletop of the support platform 7. At this time, the screwing mechanism 51 descends along the concave working position 2111 so that the cap grasped by the grasping part 511 is completely embedded in the rubber bowl under the action of the support platform 7, avoiding the cap from falling due to the too small grasping part when the grasping part 511 grasps the cap. Then, the screwing mechanism 51 enters the first descending section 212, and the grasping part 511 approaches the bottle body on its corresponding bottle bracket 81. When the screwing mechanism 51 moves to the end of the first descending section 212, the cap contacts the bottle mouth of the bottle body. The screwing mechanism 51 is affected by the internal gear ring 31 and the intermediate gear 53, causing the cap to rotate self - clockwise in the first rotation direction. The bottle bracket 81 is affected by the reverse friction block 82, causing the bottle body to rotate counter - clockwise in the second rotation direction. The bottle body and the cap with opposite rotation directions can be rotationally matched, enabling the internal thread of the cap and the external thread of the bottle mouth to quickly align, avoiding damage to the threads when the internal thread of the cap and the external thread of the bottle mouth are not aligned when the screwing mechanism 51 descends.
