Detailed Embodiment

[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , a capping machine for food processing, including a mounting frame 1. The bottom wall of the mounting frame 1 is rotatably connected with a movable sleeve 2. An installation rod 3 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the movable sleeve 2. The shape of the installation rod 3 is an inverted L shape. The installation rod 3 is located below the mounting frame 1. A triangular bracket 4 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the installation rod 3. An opening 6 is provided on the triangular bracket 4. A support rod 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the opening 6. The shape of the support rod 7 is a quadrangular prism.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , a rotating assembly 8 for rotating the bottle cap is provided on the mounting frame 1 and the movable sleeve 2. The rotating assembly 8 includes a motor 81, a rotating shaft 82, and a transmission gear 83. The motor 81 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 1. The rotating shaft 82 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 81. The rotating shaft 82 is rotatably connected with the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 can support the rotating shaft 82 to reduce the bending deformation of the rotating shaft 82. The transmission gear 83 is fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the movable sleeve 2 and the rotating shaft 82. When the motor 81 is started, the rotating shaft 82 and the transmission gear 83 rotate, and the capping work is gradually carried out. The transmission gears 83 are externally meshed with each other, which is beneficial to clamping the bottle cap and then carrying out the capping work. The transmission gear 83 is located inside the mounting frame 1.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , an adjusting assembly 5 for capping bottle caps with different diameters is provided on the mounting frame 1, the movable sleeve 2, and the triangular bracket 4. The adjusting assembly 5 includes a cylinder 51, a spline shaft 52, a driving seat 53, a movable seat 54, a driving rod 55, and a capping seat 56. The cylinder 51 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 1. The spline shaft 52 is rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder 51 and is slidably connected to the movable sleeve 2. When the cylinder 51 expands and contracts, it drives the spline shaft 52 to move up and down. The spline shaft 52 can slide up and down in the movable sleeve 2. Since the spline shaft 52 is sliding, the rotation of the movable sleeve 2 can transmit torque, enabling the spline shaft 52 to rotate. The spline shaft 52 penetrates the movable sleeve 2. An installation seat rotatably connected to the spline shaft 52 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 51.

[0020] Moreover, the driving seat 53 is fixedly installed at the tail of the spline shaft 52. The movable seat 54 is slidably connected in the tripod 4 and also slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod 7. The prismatic support rod 7 enables the movable seat 54 to only move on the outer surface of the support rod 7. The movable seat 54 passes through the opening 6. The driving rod 55 is hinged between the opposite sides of the driving seat 53 and the movable seat 54. Under the connection of the driving rod 55, the up and down movement of the driving seat 53 enables the movable seat 54 to move, thereby clamping bottle caps of different diameters, which is conducive to achieving the purpose of screwing caps of different diameters. The capping seat 56 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable seat 54 and can move along with the movable seat 54. The number of the mounting rods 3, the movable seats 54, the driving rods 55 and the capping seats 56 is equal.

[0021] When in use in this embodiment, when the bottle together with the bottle cap above moves below the driving seat 53, the cylinder 51 contracts, driving the spline shaft 52 and the driving seat 53 to move upward. The driving rod 55 moves, pulling the movable seats 54 closer to each other. After the three capping seats 56 below are close to each other, they clamp the bottle cap. Then the motor 81 is started, and the rotating shaft 82 rotates. Under the meshing transmission of the transmission gears 83, the movable sleeve 2, the spline shaft 52, the driving seat 53, the movable seat 54 and the capping seat 56 rotate, gradually rotating and screwing the clamped bottle cap to complete the capping operation of the bottle cap.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above embodiment are as follows:

[0023] For this capping machine for food processing, by setting the adjusting component 5, after the adjusting component 5 is used, under the telescopic action of the cylinder 51, it drives the spline shaft 52 and the driving seat 53 to move up and down. Under the connection of the driving rod 55, the three capping seats 56 below move closer to or away from each other along the support rod 7. When the three capping seats 56 move closer to each other, they cap the bottle cap with a smaller diameter. When the three capping seats 56 move away from each other, they cap the bottle cap with a larger diameter. Thus, capping of bottle caps of different specifications is realized, improving the application range of this capping machine for food processing.

[0024] Moreover, by setting the rotating component 8, after the rotating component 8 is used, under the meshing transmission of the transmission gears 83, when the motor 81 is started, it can make the movable sleeve 2 rotate, and then drive the capping seat 56 to rotate to perform the capping operation on the bottle cap, which is efficient and convenient.
