[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] When implementing: Figure 1-5 As shown, a constant torque capping mechanism of a bottle capping machine includes an upper support base 1, a lower support base 2 and a mounting base 3: the mounting base 3 is provided in the middle position of the upper support base 1 and the lower support base 2, a capping drive mechanism 4 is provided above the mounting base 3, an auxiliary capping mechanism 5 is provided on the side of the capping drive mechanism 4, and a resistance buffer mechanism 7 is provided above the upper support base 1;

[0024] The screw cap driving mechanism 4 includes a servo motor 41, a positioning support seat 42 and a screw cap shell body 43. The top outer wall of the mounting base 3 is provided with a servo motor 41, and the output end of the servo motor 41 is connected to the top outer wall of the positioning support seat 42, and the bottom outer wall of the positioning support seat 42 is fitted with a screw cap shell body 43; when it is necessary to drive the screw cap shell body 43 to rotate so that the subsequent screw capping process can proceed smoothly, the servo motor 41 is directly turned on at this time. When the servo motor 41 is turned on, it will automatically drive the positioning support seat 42 to rotate and then drive the screw cap shell body 43 to rotate. The servo motor 41 is respectively provided with a controller, a closed-loop control system and an encoder. The servo motor 41 can be controlled by the controller, so that the input signal is fed back to the servo motor 41, and the servo motor 41 can output a constant torque for rotation through the closed-loop control system. The encoder can monitor the actual output state of the servo motor 41, further improve the stability of the output torque of the servo motor 41, and thus achieve the effect of constant torque screw capping.

[0025] The auxiliary screw-cover mechanism 5 includes a limit shaft 51, a support ring 52 and a resistance spring 53. The limit shaft 51 is symmetrically connected between the upper support seat 1 and the lower support seat 2. The support ring 52 is slidably installed on the outside of the limit shaft 51, and a resistance spring 53 is connected between the support ring 52 and the top outer wall of the lower support seat 2, and the resistance spring 53 is sleeved on the outside of the limit shaft 51. The top outer wall of the upper support seat 1 is installed with a drive motor 54, and the output end of the drive motor 54 is connected to the top outer wall of the transmission shaft 55. The bottom outer wall of the transmission shaft 55 is rotatably installed with the top outer wall of the lower support seat 2, and the side outer wall of the transmission shaft 55 is provided with a bidirectional threaded groove, and the mounting base 3 is arranged through the outside of the limit shaft 51 and the transmission shaft 55; when it is necessary to control the rotation of the screw-cover shell body 43 When the bottle is lowered for the screw capping operation, it is only necessary to turn on the drive motor 54. When the drive motor 54 is turned on, it will automatically drive the transmission shaft 55 to rotate. Here, due to the bidirectional thread provided on the outside of the transmission shaft 55, when the transmission shaft 55 rotates, it will automatically drive the mounting base 3 to move. At the same time, due to the setting of the limit shaft 51, when the transmission shaft 55 rotates, it will only drive the mounting base 3 to realize the reciprocating trajectory movement in the vertical direction, and then as the mounting base 3 moves back and forth, it will automatically drive the screw cap shell body 43 to move up and down to complete the screw capping operation of the bottle. Here, there is friction between the support ring 52 and the limit shaft 51, and the buffering effect of the resistance spring 53 can form a simple damping structure, which can automatically provide a buffering support effect for the downward movement of the mounting base 3.

[0026] The top outer wall of the screw cap shell body 43 is provided with a contact card block 61, and the bottom outer wall of the positioning support seat 42 is correspondingly provided with a contact card groove 62. The contact card block 61 and the contact card groove 62 are engaged with each other, and the side outer wall of the positioning support seat 42 located at the position of the contact card groove 62 is provided with a first thread groove 63, and the side outer wall of the contact card block 61 is correspondingly provided with a second thread groove 64. The first thread groove 63 and the second thread groove 64 are threadedly installed with the fastening bolt 65; when the screw cap shell body 43 of the appropriate size in the device needs to be replaced according to the size of the bottle cap, it is only necessary to remove the fastening bolt 65 from the inner side of the first thread groove 63. The screw cap 63 is screwed out completely, and the interference block 61 changes from the locked state to the active state. Then the old screw cap shell body 43 can be directly removed. When installing the new screw cap shell body 43, it is first necessary to adjust the screw cap shell body 43 to a suitable position and push the interference block 61 at its top into the interference slot 62 at the corresponding position. When the interference block 61 moves to the top of the interference slot 62, the positions of the first thread groove 63 and the second thread groove 64 are in a corresponding overlapping state. Then, the fastening bolt 65 is directly used to pass through the first thread groove 63 and screw it to the bottom end of the second thread groove 64 to complete the installation process of the new screw cap shell body 43.

[0027] When the locking cam 75 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 73 is locked, and the locking cam 73 is in the unlocking state, and the locking cam 73 is locked.

[0028] When the capping plate 71 moves to a predetermined height, the friction pad 72 cooperates with the rotation of the capping shell body 43 to automatically complete the capping work of the bottle cap.

[0029] When the present invention is in use, when the capping process needs to be performed, the servo motor 41 and the drive motor 54 need to be turned on synchronously;

[0030] When the servo motor 41 is turned on, it will automatically drive the positioning support seat 42 to rotate and then drive the rotary cover shell body 43 to rotate. The servo motor 41 in this device has a closed-loop control system, which can achieve precise position control and constant torque output according to the set number of revolutions and rotation circles. This ability mainly comes from the feedback mechanism inside the servo motor 41. The encoder is used inside to monitor the actual output state of the motor in real time and adjust it through the controller. Before use, the rotary cover torque of the device can be set by setting the number of revolutions and rotation circles of the servo motor 41, thereby achieving the effect of constant torque rotary cover. When the drive motor 54 is turned on, it will automatically drive the transmission shaft 55 to rotate. Here, due to the bidirectional thread on the outside of the transmission shaft 55, when the transmission shaft 55 rotates, it will automatically drive the mounting base 3 to move. At the same time, due to the setting of the limit shaft 51, when the transmission shaft 55 rotates, it will only drive the mounting base 3 to achieve a reciprocating trajectory motion in the vertical direction. Through the above process, the rotary cover shell body 43 is in a state of self-rotation and synchronous up and down reciprocating trajectory movement;

[0031] When the bottle cap needs to be screwed onto the bottle body, it is first necessary to place the bottle cap and the bottle body just below the screw cap shell body 43. Then, when the screw cap shell body 43 contacts the lid during the downward movement, the screw cap plate 71 will first contact the lid and automatically move upward under the squeezing action of the lid. When the screw cap plate 71 moves upward, it will automatically drive the limit T-shaped block 73 to slide inside the limit T-shaped slot 74. Here, the setting of the limit T-shaped block 73 and the limit T-shaped slot 74 synchronously plays the effect of limiting support for the movement of the screw cap plate 71. Here, the design of the limit cylinder 75, the limit piston rod 76 and the support spring 77 are combined with the design of filling the damping fluid inside the limit cylinder 75 to form a simple damping structure, so that when the above-mentioned limit T-shaped block 73 moves upward, it can be buffered and supported by this damping structure. When the screw cap plate 71 moves to a limited height, the resistance action of the friction pad 72 and the rotation action of the screw cap shell body 43 can automatically complete the screwing of the bottle cap.

[0032] It is noted here that when the bottle is actually screwed on, the existing machines will be equipped with a special resistance limit mechanism to position and support it, and this device is a screw-on mechanism, so it is not described in detail. The specific limiting method can be operated according to the existing conventional operating technical means. At the same time, the servo motor 41 and the drive motor 54 in this application are powered by the existing operating method. Whether it is powered by a power supply component or an external wire, it is all existing conventional operating technical means and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
